Zhan Mohan was also sleepless that night. He looked at the prepared suit but clenched his fists.
If he could, he would rather not have come to this point, but he had no choice.
That night, even though Shen Xiangxue had willingly thrown herself at him, he had still pushed her away.
This had successfully angered Shen Xiangxue.
“Zhan Mohan! How can there be a man like you in this world? You don't even want me when I’m practically offering myself to you?”
Shen Xiangxue looked hurt, but her expression quickly turned to anger.
“Fine, since you’ve reached this point with me, you’re forcing me to use special means.” Shen Xiangxue said, re-dressing herself.
“Tell me, if I go find my brothers now and capture that Wei Yumeng, what do you think?” Shen Xiangxue said with a cruel smile. “I saw her last time, she’s quite good-looking. What do you think my brothers will do to a woman like her when they see her?”
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan glared at her even more coldly.
“Why are you glaring at me? Isn't the decision in your hands? How about this, if you are willing to marry me in three days, I will guarantee Wei Yumeng's safety and ensure she can leave here unharmed. Of course, you know what will happen if you don’t.”
Shen Xiangxue sat down in front of Zhan Mohan, adopting a negotiating posture.
She looked proud because she knew Wei Yumeng was Zhan Mohan’s weakness. As long as she held onto this, Zhan Mohan would obey her.
Zhan Mohan looked at Shen Xiangxue, filled with anger but also concerned for Wei Yumeng’s safety.
Finally, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and opened them again. Then he said to Shen Xiangxue, “Alright, I promise you, but you must let them leave as soon as possible.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiangxue’s heart rejoiced. She knew that no matter how difficult a man was to deal with, he would eventually be hers.
But why, then, did she feel no sense of happiness?
Was hearing that the man she loved was willing to marry her not an incredibly happy thing?
Why was it like this?
Shen Xiangxue couldn't explain it, nor did she understand.
As the morning bells chimed, Zhan Mohan knew that his and Wei Yumeng's story might truly come to an end today.
Chai Yanyu also heard the morning bells. He woke Wei Yumeng, telling her it was time to get ready and leave.
But as he was about to leave with Wei Yumeng, he unexpectedly encountered members of Bd.
“May I ask if Miss Wei resides here?”
Chai Yanyu was full of caution. “What do you want?”
“We mean no harm. Miss Xiangxue asked us to pick her up to attend the wedding.”
Chai Yanyu immediately shielded Wei Yumeng behind him. The reason he chose to leave so early was to prevent Wei Yumeng from witnessing their wedding.
But Shen Xiangxue had gone this far, asking Wei Yumeng to attend the wedding, which would be torture for her.
“You should go back. Yumeng won’t go.” Chai Yanyu’s tone was icy, clearly angered.
The men exchanged glances, visibly intimidated by Chai Yanyu, unsure of what to do next.
“Ayu, let me go.” Wei Yumeng’s voice suddenly came from behind Chai Yanyu.
Wei Yumeng’s complexion was not good. She clenched her fists, still trembling slightly. “Perhaps you’re right, maybe it’s time for me to let go of him. I’ve been the one holding on. If I see… if I personally witness them getting married, it might truly make me give up.”
“No, I won’t allow it!” Chai Yanyu’s voice inadvertently rose. His eyes were filled with heartache.
Just thinking about it made him imagine the pain such a scene would inflict on Wei Yumeng.
But Wei Yumeng’s expression was firm. “I must go.”
“You…” Wei Yumeng’s resolve left Chai Yanyu speechless for a moment.
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath and softly said to Chai Yanyu, “Ayu, wait for me here. I’ll be fine.”
Saying this, she walked out of the door by herself. The men took the opportunity to separate Chai Yanyu and Wei Yumeng.
Chai Yanyu wanted to stop Wei Yumeng, but the Bd members surrounded him, leaving him no choice but to watch Wei Yumeng get into the car heading towards the villa.
All the way, Wei Yumeng felt as if her heart had been placed in an ice cellar.
She could no longer feel any emotion or warmth, as if after today, she would be executed.
She had imagined many ways she and Zhan Mohan might separate, but she had never imagined she would have to witness Zhan Mohan marrying another woman.
Perhaps when she first heard the news, she had felt devastated, as if her entire world was collapsing.
But now, she felt nothing at all. Sadness? Grief? She no longer knew how to process what was about to happen.
Chai Yanyu watched Wei Yumeng leave. He could no longer stand by. No matter the cost, he had to ensure Wei Yumeng’s safety.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number he thought he would never use again.
“Hello, it’s me, Chai Yanyu. I’d like to meet you…”
Soon, a black sedan stopped at the entrance. A bodyguard dressed entirely in black emerged.
“Mr. Chai, Mr. Robin is waiting for you at the villa.”
Chai Yanyu got into the car without hesitation.
Wilmot Robin was the boss of the Bd organization, and there were some things Chai Yanyu had never told Wei Yumeng.
He had indeed been involved with the underworld through his business, and Robin had been his direct contact at the time, which had led to a considerable feud between them.
This was also why Chai Yanyu had not revealed his identity from the beginning.
But now, he had to bow to Robin for Wei Yumeng's sake. He could almost predict the outcome of what was to come.
But he had made his decision and could not turn back.
When he arrived at the villa, it was indeed bustling due to the wedding, with almost everyone from the underworld present.
Amidst the crowd, Chai Yanyu did not see Wei Yumeng. She was likely being kept elsewhere by Shen Xiangxue.
Led by the bodyguard, Chai Yanyu ascended to the third floor of the villa, where Robin resided.
“Mr. Chai, you may proceed by yourself from here.”
Chai Yanyu nodded and pushed open the door.
In the room, Robin sat on a sofa, looking at Chai Yanyu with an arrogant demeanor.
“Mr. Chai, I didn't expect we would meet again, and under such circumstances.”
Robin smirked, making one feel uncomfortable.
