The banquet hall of Century Hotel, large enough to accommodate over a thousand guests, was now packed to the brim.
Melodious violin music gently flowed through the air, as guests clinked glasses, chatted and laughed, their faces all beaming with anticipation and blessings for the wedding.
Finally!
Under everyone's gaze!
Accompanied by the solemn and sacred wedding march!
The two heavy doors of the banquet hall, symbolizing nobility and eternity, were slowly pushed open!
The groom, Mr. Su Yang, dressed in a custom white suit and full of vigor, stood beside his bride, Yun Xiyue, who was wearing a pristine white wedding gown.
Speaking of which, Yun Xiyue's wedding dress was actually paid for by Lu Cheng.
It must be said that the only drawback of expensive things is their price, and guests couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing it.
"The bride is simply a fairy descended to earth..."
"I would also have this effect if I wore this wedding dress!"
"The bride's steps are so elegant... a true lady!"
Little did they know, Yun Xiyue was simply unable to take larger steps... The two slowly walked down the red carpet amidst countless flashing lights and the applause of the guests!
At this moment, Su Yang, hearing everyone's praise for Yun Xiyue, also felt as if he was bathed in immense glory!
He was the center of this world!
The object of everyone's envy and jealousy!
The most beautiful person in the entire venue was his wife!
His excited heart almost leaped out of his chest.
His face was even beaming with unprecedented confidence and pride!
He reveled in all of this, enjoying the thrill of being the center of attention!
Enjoying the immense happiness of soon taking the beautiful woman as his own!
He felt as if he had already reached the pinnacle of his life... The wedding ceremony, amidst the emcee's deep voice and the enthusiastic blessings of the guests, was finally about to begin!
The two walked down the red carpet to the center of the stage, where the emcee, with a brilliant smile on his face, passionately announced:
"Alright! Distinguished guests! Friends!"
"Now, let us together witness this romantic moment!"
"Please welcome our handsome groom, Mr. Su Yang! To personally lift the mysterious veil of this beautiful bride beside him!"
"Let her peerless beauty shine like the most brilliant star in this hall of happiness!"
It's here!
It's finally here!
Su Yang's heart once again began to pound uncontrollably!
His face also wore a brilliant smile.
Slowly, he extended his hand, gently grasping the pristine white veil that symbolized purity and mystery.
Then, under the gaze of all the guests in the venue.
He lifted that mysterious veil!
A glance lasting an eternity!
What first entered his sight was still Yun Xiyue's exquisite face that haunted his dreams.
But only for an instant... he then felt that today, she seemed... a little different?
Her eyes, at this moment, did not show the slightest shyness or joy that a newlywed should have?
Instead, there was a coldness he had never seen before!
And... a hint of undisguised pity?
As if she were looking at a clown about to make a fool of himself... Just as Su Yang felt a moment of inexplicable confusion due to Yun Xiyue's sudden gaze!
The brilliant smile on his lips instantly froze and vanished, his entire face quickly sinking.
His powerful perception, far more acute than ordinary people's!
Suddenly allowed him to!
Perceive with crystal clarity—
The pure, unblemished 'Primal Yin Energy' on Yun Xiyue's body, symbolizing a maiden's chastity!
It had actually... actually vanished without a trace!
In its place was a domineering aura he was all too familiar with, belonging to another man!
It was... it was Lu Cheng!
"Lipstick? That's not lipstick..."
"Her eyes... her way of walking..."
"That feeling, that aura... is it Lu Cheng?"
"No..."
"Impossible... Ah ah ah ah!!!"
"Yesterday! Yesterday night everything was fine!"
"When! How could it be!"
The dual impact of sight and perception!
Struck fiercely upon Su Yang's head!
Making him roar wildly within his heart!
To outsiders, the groom suddenly froze.
Standing motionless, like a stone statue instantly frozen in ice!
His hand remained in that awkward posture of lifting the veil.
He only felt that all his pride, all his confidence!
All his spiritual support, his pure and flawless white moonlight.
All at this moment!
In front of all the celebrities in the entire Magic City!
Completely collapsed!
...And Yun Xiyue, standing opposite him, looked at his distraught, foolish expression.
In her heart, not only was there no trace of sympathy or reluctance.
Instead... a sense of vengeful pleasure arose!
She looked at Su Yang, and her lips slowly curved into a cold, mocking arc!
As if silently declaring:
"Su Yang, you good-for-nothing, you will never be worthy of me."
"You will never have me!"
And Lu Cheng, standing below the stage, who had been observing all this.
After seeing Su Yang's aggrieved expression, as if his parents had died.
His lips also curled into a devilish... satisfied smile.
The female lead is so useful!
In every sense... so useful!
...The emcee looked at the couple on stage, who had suddenly fallen into an eerie silence, somewhat perplexed.
He thought the groom had been so stunned by the bride's beauty that he was speechless!
He immediately, very professionally, picked up the microphone and began to salvage the situation, urging them in an even more enthusiastic tone:
"Hahaha! It seems our groom has been completely captivated by our beautiful bride!"
"Groom, what are you waiting for?"
"Quick! Quickly kiss your most beautiful bride in the world! Announce your happiness to the whole world!"
The emcee's words were like the sharpest dagger!
Stabbing fiercely into Su Yang's already tattered heart!
Pushing him, completely, into a desperate dead end!
"Ah—!!!!"
Su Yang could no longer suppress the rage in his heart!
He let out a beast-like roar!
He fiercely flung the white veil in his hand aside!
Then, with bloodshot eyes, he glared at this woman in front of him... this woman he had sworn to protect his entire life, but who now made him feel incredibly strange and dirty!
He questioned her hysterically:
"Why?"
"Yun Xiyue! You tell me! Why the hell is this happening?!"
He couldn't understand!
He really couldn't understand!
What was wrong with him?!
Three years as a live-in son-in-law, working tirelessly, enduring humiliation... Three years without even touching her hand, yet today at the wedding, he discovers his wife has lost her primal yin, and this happened not long ago today?
He had given his all for her.
But what was the result?
What he got in return... what he got in return was... "What did I ever do to wrong you?"
"Where did I go wrong?"
Su Yang's voice, distorted and hoarse from extreme anger, was like a desperate wail.
He really couldn't understand!
