Chapter 1035 - 1035 1020 Jue and Zhans Couple Extra (19)

Chapter 1035: 1020, Jue and Zhan’s Couple Extra (19) Chapter 1035: 1020, Jue and Zhan’s Couple Extra (19) Meeting his dark eyes, Zhan Mingyan saw a reflection full of herself in his gaze, dispelling her previous worries as she broke into a smile.

“You just need to prepare to be my bride with peace of mind, and leave everything else to me.” Seeing her smile, Bai Jue’s lips curled up slightly.

Zhan Mingyan hummed in response, and Bai Jue leaned down to kiss her.

Their lips met, and the intense, lingering kiss drew them both deep into its thrall.

A gentle breeze passed, and even the bright moon shyly hid behind the clouds.

Bai Jue was always quick at handling affairs, especially when it came to marrying his wife, his speed was like that of a rocket, swift and fast.

Once the proposal was successful, Bai Jue announced it to the world.

The most unfortunate were Jian Luo and Khan, the couple; Bai Jue had entrusted the design of the wedding attire to Jian Luo and left the jewelry accessories and such to Khan, while the wedding photoshoot naturally fell to Xiya.

That day, a group of people all gathered at Dihao; Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing had also returned from abroad, bringing everyone together.

“Cheers!”

The sound of glasses clinking echoed in the private room, accompanied by everyone’s laughter.

“Bai Jue, it wasn’t easy, but you’ve finally shed your single status,” Jian Luo teased.

Grinning, Bai Jue replied, “Just make sure to prepare your gift money.”

Jian Luo gave him a look, “My design fee is quite high; how much do you plan to give?”

“And don’t forget mine and Khan’s share,” Xiya chimed in.

Bai Jue, “You bunch of bad friends.”

“Mingyan, if Bai Jue dares to bully you after the wedding, just tell us, and we’ll help you beat him up,” Xiya said.

“Don’t stir up trouble in our marital relationship,” Bai Jue was not pleased upon hearing this, “Khan, keep an eye on your wife, stop bringing my fiancée to the bars all the time.”

Khan shrugged, “Sorry, I’m under strict supervision from my wife.”

He said this nonchalantly with apparent pride.

“Hahaha!”

The others burst out laughing like pigs.

“Bai Jue, it’s not too late to regret it now,” Han Yue said.

Zhan Mingyan tilted her head towards Bai Jue, her eyes narrowed with a smile, “Are you regretting it?”

Bai Jue wrapped his arm around her, “Don’t listen to their nonsense.”

“Axuan, now it’s just you and Ayue left who are single. You two better hurry up,” Jian Luo joked.

“Why don’t the two of you just make do with each other?” Jian Qing followed up teasingly.

“I say, why are you all so eager to see us two get together?” Quan Mingxuan responded with an incredulous roll of his eyes, “Ayue, better confess on your own.”

“Confess what, Ayue, do you have some situation going on?” Bai Jue asked gossipedly.

Han Yue glanced at Quan Mingxuan and then said, “He’s talking nonsense because he’s drunk.”

“But half a drink got him drunk? Mingxuan’s alcohol tolerance isn’t that bad,” Jian Qing looked at the wine glass in Quan Mingxuan’s hand, which was still more than half full.

“Exactly, Ayue, come out with it,” Bai Jue said.

“Really, there’s nothing,” Han Yue surrendered with his hands up.

“The other day, I saw him paired up with a beautiful woman, and they went to a hotel,” Quan Mingxuan revealed softly.

Everyone hooted in response, and Han Yue was covered with black lines.

These people are really…

“Ayue, don’t you want to explain something?” Khan glanced at him meaningfully and asked.

“What’s there to explain? That woman was a blind date my mom set up, and I was busy with work that day, stood her up, and to spare myself my mom’s nagging, I just got her back to the hotel, that’s all, OK, big brains, satisfied?” Han Yue finished in one breath and then took a couple sips of wine to quench his thirst.

“Turning down easy meat doesn’t seem like your style,” Quan Mingxuan tsked, teasingly.

Han Yue felt a twinge in his stomach, “I’m also very picky, I’m not an omnivore.”

“Hahaha!”

Upon hearing their mutual teasing, everyone burst into laughter.

After gathering for a while, as the evening approached, people started to leave.

Zhan Mingyan pulled Bai Jue to a newly opened Western Restaurant for dinner, where they ran into an acquaintance, He Min.

Seeing their interlocked fingers, He Min’s eyes gradually darkened, and he squeezed out a smile, “I heard you’re getting married soon, congratulations.”

“Thanks, do come and have a drink if you’re free at that time.” Bai Jue said indifferently.

Feeling the atmosphere turning awkward, Zhan Mingyan changed the subject, “He Min, are you here alone for dinner?”

“No, with a few friends.” He Min replied.

“Then we won’t disturb you.” Holding Zhan Mingyan’s hand, Bai Jue walked past him and chose a seat by the window.

Not far away, Lou Xin watched He Min’s gaze linger on Zhan Mingyan, almost grinding her teeth in frustration.

It was Zhan Mingyan again.

He Min, why can’t you forget her even though she’s getting married?

Even though Bai Jue took care of all the wedding arrangements, so Zhan Mingyan didn’t have to worry about it, there were still minor details that needed Lu Hui’s help.

For example, the guest list for the Zhan family’s banquet had to be discussed by Old Master Zhan and Zhan Ze.

As a result, Zhan Mingyan, the bride-to-be, became the most free person.

“Xiaoqing, I have to step out for a bit, please watch the store,” Zhan Mingyan glanced at the time, picked up her purse and instructed.

“Don’t forget, there are customers coming later to pick up the flowers on the table.”

“Oh, got it.”

Zhan Mingyan stepped out of the flower shop with her purse, basking in the comfort of the warm sunlight.

She stood by the road and waved her hand.

A taxi pulled up in front of her, and Zhan Mingyan opened the door and got in.

She gave the driver the destination, then lowered her head to scroll through her phone.

The driver glanced in the rearview mirror and then lowered the brim of his hat.

About twenty minutes later, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes, and due to inertia, Zhan Mingyan’s body lurched forward, her forehead knocking against the seat.

She held her forehead, “What happened?”

“Sorry, Miss, seems like there’s a bit of a problem with the car. Could you step out for a moment while I check it? Sorry for the inconvenience,” the driver said.

Zhan Mingyan exited the taxi without giving it another thought.

The driver followed her out and began checking the vehicle at the front.

Zhan Mingyan checked the time, realizing it was getting close to her arranged meeting with Bai Jue.

“How long will the repairs take?”

Getting another taxi on this road might take a while.

“About ten minutes or so,” the driver said.

Relieved, Zhan Mingyan replied, “Okay, please hurry, I have something else to take care of.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be quick.”

As he spoke, in a concealed corner unseen by anyone, the driver pulled a small handkerchief from his pocket and cautiously approached Zhan Mingyan with light steps.

Thinking it over, Zhan Mingyan decided to notify Bai Jue that she would be late, to avoid making him wait, and took out her phone to dial Bai Jue’s number.

“Mmm—”

The driver suddenly attacked her from behind, covering her mouth with the handkerchief.

Zhan Mingyan struggled for a moment, but the driver was too strong, and the drug quickly took effect, her efforts to fight back growing weaker until her eyelids heavily closed.
