763 A Million Times for You 125 (1/2)
No matter how established his business may be, he's still just a businessman at the end of the day. It would be a piece of cake for Tuoba Gucheng, the president of the nation, to deal with him via political means.
That was not what she wanted to happen.
Acting recklessly on impulse will only make things worse.
In fact, Jin Qingyan was well aware of that as well.
——
It was the 30th of December, the day of Jin Qingyue and Ling Ciye's wedding.
The bride-to-be had woken up early in the morning at five o'clock to change into her wedding gown and have her makeup done. She was in high spirits and thoroughly enjoyed the process, despite being extremely busy.
The groom, too, was dressing up and getting ready. Long Tianze stifled a yawn and said mockingly, ”Once Ciye gets married, Qingyan will be the only bachelor left amongst us. Like what they always say, whoever gets married first is more likely to end up in a divorce. You're a true-blue singleton.”
Jin Qingyan remained calm and ignored his sarcastic remark. ”I stepped into the grave of marriage and climbed out of it again, unlike you two. You'll only be able to remain inside that grave for life. You can't even come out to take a breather,” he retorted.
”Oh, wow, you're making it sound as if you're not going to bind yourself to the shackles of marriage ever again for the rest of your life. We all know how much you want to get married again, but things just haven't been going your way. I really hope Sis-in-law won't fall into your hands again. I hope you die of desperation,” Long Tianze gibed, shaking his leg.
”I'm afraid you'll have to be disappointed. I'm not in a hurry at all. It's not like I haven't been married before.”
Amused by their banter, Ling Ciye hit the nail on its head and said, ”Tianze, stop trying to spite him. There's no use no matter how hard you try to spite him. It's not up to him to decide whether or not he gets married again anyway.”
”I'm going to throw you both into outer space. Quit acting so smugly in front of me.” Jin Qingyan shifted his gaze onto Ling Ciye and continued, ”You, especially, Brother-in-law.”
Long Tianze guffawed hysterically and exclaimed, ”Ciye, hurry and call him your Brother. Let him give you a huge red packet!”
”Sure, no big deal. We're already family, after all. Right, Brother?” said Ling Ciye.
”Be good to Qingyue from now on. After all…”
Jin Qingyan stared at Long Tianze with a sneer and continued, ”Someone over here didn't manage to win her heart despite having given his all.”
”Exactly. What a glorious past,” Ling Ciye chimed in.
Long Tianze clutched his chest and said, ”How could you two bear to stab me in my heart?”
”An eye for an eye.”
”That's what buddies are for.”
Long Tianze was speechless.
”Qingyan, did you know? Song Yan got married a few days ago and Ciye attended her wedding. Ciye has also invited her to his wedding today. Do you think the media will label them as the best ex-couple of S Nation?” Long Tianze jested.
”Maybe they will.”
Pretending to be deep in thought, Long Tianze asked, ”Ciye, don't tell me you invited Shi Shaochuan too?”
”How did you know? I really did invite that wimpy rascal, but I wonder if he'll dare to show up?” Ling Ciye said with a grin.
”He'll come for sure, just you wait and see. He'll definitely bring Bao'er along to wreak havoc.”
”Do you think he won't stir trouble even if we don't invite him? Now that we've already let him have her full custody, he still brought Bao'er to my place shamelessly to disrupt our peace. I'd be surprised if he doesn't take this opportunity to create trouble at my wedding.”
”Why did you still invite him, then?”
”I have my own plans.”
”Hahahaha!” Long Tianze burst into laughter all of a sudden, smacking his thigh.
