Nie Wenling was pouting and sat on the sofa with a look of anger. Then, she took out her phone and fiddled with it, spitting out, "Thereâs no signal here either. It seems this guy really doesnât want us to contact the outside world, there must be something fishy going on."
"Ah, if only Ye Luo could appear here right now, sister. He would definitely be able to deal with that bastard Xiang Zuo," Nie Wenling leaned on the sofa, pouting as she spoke.
Hearing Nie Wenling mention Ye Luo, Nie Wenyuâs bright eyes flashed with an unusual expression.
"Sister, could it be that the one you have feelings for is Ye Luo?"
Nie Wenling looked at Nie Wenyu and suddenly made the remark, a sly look flashing in her eyes.
Nie Wenyuâs fair face stiffened, turning a shade of red, as she hurriedly said, "Wenling, donât talk nonsense. Ye Luo and I are just friends."
"Really? When I mentioned him just now, your expression seemed a bit different. Plus, he has saved you twice. According to ancient sayings, you should offer yourself to him in return."
"Ah, you little brat, always talking nonsense!"
Nie Wenyuâs cheeks flushed, and she punched Nie Wenling on the head with her little fists.
"Alright, no more joking, sister. I really do wish Ye Luo could show up today so you wouldnât have to marry Xiang Zuo. That guy Ye Luo might be a bit lecherous, a bit of a playboy, but I think heâs much better than Xiang Zuo," Nie Wenling said, pouting.
What Nie Wenling didnât know was that Ye Luo, whom she kept talking about, had already arrived at the Jin Hao Hotel.
"Sir, do you have an invitation?"
Just as Ye Luo was about to enter the hotel, four men in black suits stopped him at the door.
"Do you need an invitation to enter a hotel now?" Ye Luo was surprised.
"Sorry, the hotel has been booked entirely by the Nie Family today. Only those with invitations to attend the Nie Familyâs young missâs wedding are allowed inside. All others are not permitted to enter," the man in the black suit spoke with a deep voice.
Ye Luoâs eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he said, "Go tell your Family Head that I am Ye Luo; he will let me in."
"Sorry, our Family Head is busy entertaining guests and doesnât have time to deal with these matters. Please leave," the man in the suit said coldly.
"Sorry, he is with me."
A crisp, pleasant voice sounded by Ye Luoâs ear, followed by a fair and smooth hand holding an invitation card reached out to him. When Ye Luo turned his head, there stood Situ Luoyun in a bright red cheongsam, with a captivating and charming smile on her face.
"So heâs Miss Situâs guest. My apologies, please come in."
Seeing Situ Luoyun, the man in the black suit showed a hint of apology and quickly said.
"Letâs go, my Lord Ye."
Situ Luoyun hooked her arm around Ye Luoâs and walked straight into the hotel.
"Why is Miss Situ here as well?"
Ye Luoâs gaze shifted to Situ Luoyun.
"I was invited by Nie Yuntian, so naturally, I am here to attend the wedding of the Nie familyâs young miss."
Situ Luoyun pursed her red lips and smiled merrily at Ye Luo, "But what about you, Lord Ye, what brings you here? Donât tell me youâre here to steal the bride?"
"I have some acquaintance with the Nie family, so naturally, I had to come and see the young missâs wedding."
Ye Luo smiled, feeling the softness at his arm, and licked his lips, "Miss Situ, are you perhaps really hoping Iâd come to steal the bride?"
With a playful look, Ye Luo added, "Couldnât it be that I am now part of your scheme, and this is your first step towards dominating the underworld of Zhonghai? In that case, Iâll have to be very careful."
Instead of showing any shyness in the face of Ye Luoâs teasing, Situ Luoyun looked back at him with a beaming smile, fluttering her long eyelashes.
With alluring eyes full of teasing, she gazed at Ye Luo, "What Mr. Ye decides to do is up to him. How could a mere girl like me have any influence over the decisions of such a great man? However, if Mr. Ye ever needs assistance from a little girl like me, please feel free to ask. If itâs within my power, I will help with all my might and would not shirk from death itself."
Ye Luo curled his lip. This woman sure had a way with words, but that was all talk. If she really needed to lend a hand, she definitely wouldnât do anything without seeing a benefit first. Otherwise, he would sure have some use for this beauty; itâs not like a man doesnât need a beautiful woman at times, but he had never seen her willing to go to any lengths for it.
Situ Luoyun leaned even closer to Ye Luo, her unique fragrance, like a blend of orchids and musk, wafting into his nostrils. Her large doe eyes looked up at him, watery and clear. She was well aware that such pleasantries wouldnât move Ye Luo, but she still enjoyed teasing him.
Watching Situ Luoyunâs expression, Ye Luo rolled his eyes.
"Alright, Miss Situ, letâs go inside and wait for the wedding. If weâre late, they will have married without us, and weâll miss out not just on the feast but even a sip of wine," Ye Luo said wryly.
Following Situ Luoyun and guided by a waiter, Ye Luo entered the largest banquet hall of the Jinhao Hotel, where Xiang Zuo and Nie Wenyuâs wedding was being held.
The venue was already lavishly decorated by the wedding company, creating an air of grandeur, with all the necessary stage, sound system, and big screens, and the entire place was adorned with fluttering white streamers and balloons, creating a perfect wedding atmosphere.
Even Situ Luoyun, standing beside him, was momentarily lost in the dreamy wedding scene. Being a woman, she naturally longed for such a wedding.
The entire banquet hall was romantically set up and had already gathered a large crowd. Around the hall stood a group of men dressed in black suits with stern expressions. These were the elites of the Yuntian Gang, present to maintain order at the event.
"There really is a huge turnout."
As Ye Luo stepped into the banquet hall and saw the hundreds of guests around, he remarked.
"The Nie family is a top-tier family in Zhonghai. Nie Yuntian is not only the Chairman of the Nie Corporation but also controls the entire underground organization of the Yuntian Gang in the HN area. With such dual status, his daughterâs marriage will naturally attract a lot of people. Moreover, this is considering the short notice issued today; otherwise, there would be more attendees," explained Situ Luoyun.
Sitting to the side, Situ Luoyun opened her red lips, "And many people are here at the wedding not just to celebrate but also to find out why Nie Yuntian would suddenly hand over the Nie Corporation and the Yuntian Gang to his adopted son. This abrupt action has left many guessing if something is amiss, and they are eager to understand the reasons behind it."
