Lin Qiong stood by Fu Xingyun's side, his legs trembling slightly, never expecting that a wealthy person's wedding would be like this. No feasting, no lavish gifts.
He lowered his head and glanced at the sparkling diamond in his hand. But really, LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
Seeing Lin Qiong holding the ring with a silly expression, Fu Xingyun's mood became complicated for a moment. It was just a simple ring, but in Lin Qiong's eyes, it seemed like a precious treasure.
Fun Xingyun observed him for a while, without thinking at all about Lin Qiong's love for money.
After all, the Lin family was considered newly wealthy ten years ago. Although they faced some downturns in the business world in recent years, they were still prosperous. Lin Qiong couldn't help but look at the diamond in his hand with delight. His lips curved up, and he had to hold back his laughter from bursting out.
Suddenly, he noticed the gazes around him, and when he turned his head, he met Fu Xingyun's scrutinizing eyes. Lin Qiong instantly stiffened as the man's gaze wandered between him and the ring.
"Do you like it?"
Lin Qiong smiled shyly. "I love everything you give me." He then hugged the ring right up to his chest "I want to keep it as a family heirloom and pass it on to our children when they get married."
Fu Xingyun commented, "You really think ahead."
The wedding ceremony concluded, and naturally, some relatives and friends came over to offer their blessings.
Thanks to the horrible social connections of the original owner in the book, no one dared to approach them. It was fortunate that wealthy people's weddings didn't require seating arrangements, or it would have been a challenge to fill up even one table.
However, Fu Xingyun was completely different from his lonely little frog. Several good friends approached them one after another.
Lin Qiong looked at them with a burning gaze, feeling envious, but when he saw the big black bear who had grabbed his collar earlier, he quietly swallowed his saliva.
He absolutely couldn't say anything wrong now. His legs were still weak, and he couldn't even run away if he wanted to.
However, it was evident that Fu Xingyun's friends didn't have a good impression of him due to the words spoken by the original owner, who only lived for one day.
Adhering to the principle of "the more you speak, the more mistakes you make," he chose to keep his mouth shut.
Lin Qiong silently moaned to himself, standing obediently by Fu Xingyun's side like a little quail.
Several gentlemen, led by the big black bear, were joking and talking to Fu Xingyun, while Lin Qiong remained invisible on the side. However, he happened to notice a woman next to him was staring at him. Lin Qiong recognized this woman; she had been in Fu Xingyun's room earlier.
The intense gaze from the woman created an ominous premonition within Lin Qiong. True to his instincts, she approached him the next moment.
Lin Qiong: !
Oh no, please don't come closer!
Ji Yao looked at Lin Qiong, her gaze shifting over him. "You...,"
Lin Qiong silently swallowed. "Hmm?"
Ji Yao asked, "Do you really love Xingyun?"
Lin Qiong replied firmly, "I love him more than anything."
"Such as?"
Lin Qiong pretended to be profound and said, "Actually, I used to be against marriage."
Ji Yao widened her eyes, "Really?"
Lin Qiong nodded his plushy little head.
"You didn't want to marry," Ji Yao pointed at him and then at herself. "I also won't marry."
Lin Qiong tentatively said, "I planned on doing the Cha-Cha in a nursing home."
Ji Yao widened her eyes as if she had found a kindred spirit. She grabbed Lin Qiong's hand, along with the diamond ring, and said, "Sister, you want to live without a man too!"
Lin Qiong: ... Why is she calling me sister?
Then, feeling betrayed, she looked at him in anguish. "What made you choose to get married?"
"If you were to ask me what is perfect in this world," Lin Qiong said, "I can only say three words, Fu Xingyun."
Ji Yao covered her face.
"Don't be sad for me," Lin Qiong lifted his hand with the diamond ring. "I married for love."
If anyone ever says that Lin Qiong doesn't love Fu Xingyun, Ji Yao would be the first to disagree.
Then she took out her phone. "Sister, scan this code and let me contribute to your love life and career."
Lin Qiong was somewhat surprised, and the little frog croaked, "Are you trying to be friends with me?"
"Nonsense."
The little frog, who thought they had made a friend, instantly lowered its head.
"We're clearly good sisters."
Lin Qiong: ...OK!
Sisters are sisters after all.
At least he can say he has a friend now.
The little frog took out its phone and scanned the code. After adding each other on WeChat, Lin Qiong prepared to go to the restroom. Just as he took a few steps, he was stopped by the priest who appeared halfway.
Lin Qiong swallowed nervously. He had only passed the fourth level of his college English, and he wasn't sure if he could communicate well. The priest was a foreigner, appearing to be in his thirties or forties, but his head was already bald.
"Britisher?"
The priest was surprised and replied with a slightly awkward accent, "How did you know?"
Lin Qiong looked at the priest's bald head and said, "I can tell."
The priest smiled, glanced at Lin Qiong, and then at Fu Xingyun, "There is a ray of light in everyone's life."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong's mouth instantly formed an 'O' shape and said, "Of course."
After receiving the reply, the priest walked away, leaving behind a comforting figure. Lin Qiong bid farewell politely and then headed to the restroom.
Lin Qiong couldn't believe that even the priest had a hero-like character in his heart.
Just as he came out of the restroom, he saw Fu Jinghong, whom he had previously kicked off the wall.
Fu Jinghong also appeared surprised when he saw Lin Qiong. He had meticulously planned for a week to embarrass Fu Xingyun, but he never expected to be defeated by Lin Qiong.
However, despite his frustration, Fu Jinghong didn't forget about his plan for after the wedding. He intended to make Lin Qiong monitor and mistreat Fu Xingyun, ensuring that the man who had always suppressed and mocked him would never rise again.
Fu Jinghong approached Lin Qiong, feeling distressed and indignant. "Xiao Qiong, you know how much I love you. Why did you treat me like that just now?!"
Lin Qiong remained silent, knowing this conversation all too well.
Fu Jinghong looked at him, hoping to see a hint of remorse on his face. But instead of remorse, he saw a touch of arrogance.
"If only you had a shred of remorse..."
Lin Qiong interrupted, "It was me who did it, so what?"
Fu Jinghong was taken aback.
"Xiao Qiong, are you saying these things out of anger? Are you upset that I didn't stop all of this?"
Lin Qiong smiled and scratched his head sheepishly. "Actually, I'm quite happy that you didn't intervene." As he raised his hand, the sparkling ring and the lights glinted off it, almost blinding Fu Jinghong.
"Xiao Qiong, I don't want anything else, I just want us to be together," Fu Jinghong pleaded.
"But I'm already married to Fu Xingyun," Lin Qiong responded, taking a step back.
Fu Jinghong stepped forward, arguing with reason, "Then what does our past mean? You said you would love me forever."
Lin Qiong sighed, "In the past, many people mocked me, saying that I deserved to be poor my whole life."
Fu Jinghong: ?
For a moment, Fu Jinghong didn't quite understand the meaning behind Lin Qiong's words and looked at him with confusion.
"People say things they don't mean sometimes," Lin Qiong explained.
Fu Jinghong was infuriated by Lin Qiong's words, as just a week ago when Lin Qiong received luxury items from him, it wasn't the same attitude. "You're falling for someone else!" Fu Jinghong accused.
"Nonsense!" Lin Qiong's eyes widened earnestly, showing his seriousness.
Fu Jinghong saw a glimmer of hope and said, "Xiao Qiong, I knew you still loved me."
Lin Qiong blushed and replied, holding his own heart "I'm just a sweet-talker, my heart doesn't belong to you."
"The one I love has always been your older brother," he added, holding his own heart.
Fu Jinghong clenched his teeth, feeling that Lin Qiong was not playing by the rules at all. "I don't care, you must give me an explanation," he demanded.
Lin Qiong looked at Fu Jinghong in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him. He never expected Fu Jinghong to be so deeply influenced by melodramatic dramas at such an age.
Lin Qiong lowered his gaze, his fair skin appearing translucent under the light. He sighed softly, wearing a world-weary expression. "How about this, you treat me as if I'm dead," he suggested.
Fu Jinghong: ...
Lin Qiong glanced at the time and felt that he had spent too long in the restroom. He tilted his chin at Fu Jinghong and said, "I should go now." He didn't want others to think he was constipated.
"No, you can't!" Fu Jinghong grew frustrated and grabbed hold of Lin Qiong's wrist.
The diamond ring on Lin Qiong's ring finger wobbled, and the once harmless Lin Qiong's face darkened.
Fu Jinghong has never been a gentleman, his actions are not as upright and honorable as those of Fu Xingyun, so he always stands in front of Fu Xingyun with his head lowered
Even though Fu Xingyun is disabled now, the look in his eyes is still superior to him.
Fu Jinghong's eyes were bloodshot, filled with unwillingness and frustration.
"You shameless bastard! Don't push your luck!" With those words, Fu Jinghong fiercely flung Lin Qiong's wrist, causing the ring to soar into the air due to the force.
Dang... Dang... The sound of consecutive impacts echoed on the ground.
The expression on Lin Qiong's face froze for a moment.
Seeing Lin Qiong standing there motionless, Fu Jinghong let out a sneer, "Should have been obedient like this earlier."
Fu Jinghong didn't forget his original purpose, "I didn't come to break up this family, but to join it. From now on..."
Suddenly, Fu Jinghong felt a sharp pain on his face, and by the time he regained his senses, he found himself lying on the ground.
"You motherf..." Fu Jinghong was about to get up, but he was stopped as Lin Qiong pressed his foot on his chest.
The innocent-looking young man looked down at him from above and said, "I advise you not to confront me head-on."
Fu Jinghong: ?
"I may have suffered injuries, but you'll lose your life." Li Hanyang, who had just mocked Fu Xingyun, turned his head and saw Ji Yao standing in place, stretching her neck to look outside.
Li Hanyang followed his gaze and glanced in that direction. "What are you looking at?"
"Looking for Lin Qiong."
However, in that direction, not even a single strand of Lin Qiong's hair could be seen.
"So where is he?"
"He went to the restroom," said Ji Yao, as if she had just realized something. "Do you think he's been in there for so long because he's constipated?!"
Li Hanyang: "..."
Lin Qiong picked up the wedding ring from the ground and wiped it on a handkerchief before putting it back on his ring finger.
Then, looking at the writhing figure of Fu Jinghong on the ground, Lin Qiong laughed and said, "These dramas are quite entertaining, but I think I've had enough of them. I won't be watching them anymore."
