Qi Chenglin trotted to Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu, he opened the door of the car for them. Then, Qi Chengzhi set her down in the car.

Song Yu was pregnant. She was still in the first trimester of pregnancy, which was why there was no obvious changes in her appearance. However, her body weight had increased quite a lot. After carrying her down the stairs, Qi Chengzhi was getting tired.

However, he did not want Song Yu to find out about it. He wiped his sweat away quietly, despite having a mild headache at the same time.

Qi Chengzhi got into the car after her. After everyone was well prepared, they started their journey to Imperial Terrace.

Song Yu tilted her head and saw Qi Chengzhi’s sweaty forehead. She reached out to wipe the sweat away. As she touched the band-aids on his forehead, she asked softly, “Be honest with me. How did you get this?”

Qi Chengzhi could not help but look at her. It dawned on him that she had not believed a word in the lie that he had made up. He thought, ‘So now they were really like an old married couple. She could read him well.’

Qi Chengzhi’s heart melted. He reached out and held her hand. He could not help but smile.

“Don’t you smile as usual!” Song Yu pinched his hand. She thought, ‘Did he become stupid due to the hit?’

“Be honest, how did you get this?”

When she saw the expression on Qi Chengzhi’s face, she knew that he was not going to answer her. Therefore, she decided to ask the driver, Qi Chenglin, who was driving. “Chenglin, how did he get hurt?”

Qi Chenglin took a glance at Qi Chengzhi through the rearview mirror. Song Yu said, “If both of you are not going to answer me, I’ll go back and ask Aunt Yang about it. If you have been hurt at home, she would have known.”

After knowing that Qi Chengzhi was not going to stop him from telling, Qi Chenglin told Song Yu about the car accident that had happened last night.

“Now, everything is still in the process of investigation. They probably won’t have any discovery at any moment. However, we won’t let it go until we come to a conclusion,” said Qi Chenglin.

“I’m also suspicious of Jian Yi,” said Song Yu silently while tightening her grip on Qi Chengzhi’s hand. “If I had known earlier, I would never have urged you to leave last night.”

She was still in fear. If she had left him to walk back home alone yesterday, she would have no idea when anything had happened to him. What if something else had happened yesterday?

So, she made up her mind. No matter what happened in the future, she would be by his side. Even if it meant that death was waiting for her, she would remain calm as long as he was with her.

Immediately after having these thoughts, Song Yu repeated three times of “knock-on-the-wood” silently. It was a day of happiness, how could she be having such thoughts that could bring bad luck.

However, she was still in fear. She tightened her grip on Qi Chengzhi’s arm. This car might be a luxury, but there was a multipurpose armrest fixed between the seats. It separated the two of them, making their distance farther. Therefore, Song Yu could only hug tightly onto his arm.

“Have you gone to the hospital for a checkup?” asked Song Yu.

“I’ve done it. It is not a big deal. I’ve temporarily put on band-aids for today’s wedding, but I’ll have to change it back to gauze after the wedding,” said Qi Chengzhi. “Fortunately, there is no serious injury.”

When the cars drove into Imperial Terrace, they saw stickers with the word “Xi” on both sides of the walls. The atmosphere was full of joy.

When the cars stopped by the entrance of the villa, firecrackers were set off instantly.

When Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu got out of the car, the people standing on both sides of the lane greeted them with ribbon spray.

The groom and bride were welcomed into the house. Missus Lian was busy with the dishes. She was bringing out the noodles for Yan Beicheng and the others who had not had their meals in the morning. However, when the seven of them saw the noodles, their faces turned green.

“What is it? Does it not suit you?” asked Xia Wenna when she saw the weird expressions on their faces.

“We’ve overeaten just now.” Yan Beicheng almost vomited when he smelt the noodles.

“What happened?” Xia Wenna asked Qi Chenglin.

So, Qi Chenglin told her about what had happened in the morning at Song Yu’s house. Xia Wenna looked at Qi Chengyue, not knowing if she should laugh or cry instead. She said, “You…really are…Where have you gotten these ideas from?”

Since the seven of them were not able to eat anymore, Xia Wenna decided to throw away the noodles.

Finally, all of them began their journey to Dynasty.

…

…

When they had arrived at Dynasty, Song Yu was sent to the bridal suite to prepare herself. Qi Chengzhi, Qi Zhongliang, and Xia Wenna welcomed the guests at the entrance while Song Donglin and Ruan Danchen stood by their side.

Cheng Dongge and the Qilin’s colleagues had arrived at the hotel early. They sat together at a table. Grandfather Qi, Grandmother Qi, and Song Donglin, Yu Qianying sat at the head table, while Qi Chenglin and the younger generation were arranged to sit at the second table.

If anyone took notice of the arrangement of the tables, they would notice that the Qi family treated the Song family differently, as compared to how they had treated the Jian family.

At Qi Chengyue and Jian Yi’s wedding, Jian Yi’s parents sat at the first table in another row. They were not able to sit together with the Qi family.

At that time, the Qi family did not oppose the marriage of Qi Chengyue and Jian Yi. However, after having conversed with Jian Yi’s parents, they could not help but dislike Zhou Mingyan. However, since their daughter loved him, they did not oppose the marriage.

Therefore, they had planned to sit together at the same table. However, after they’ve gotten to know Zhou Mingyan, they changed their mind on the initial plan.

While Qi Zhongliang and Xia Wenna were welcoming the guests, Qi Chengyue, Qi Chenglin and Qi Chengji left to chat at the head table.

Qi Chengyue instinctively glanced at the table for Qilin’s employees. She saw Cheng Dongge talking to the superiors.

However, most of the time, it was the superiors who did the talking. Cheng Dongge was the one who listened, nodding and speaking a few words occasionally.

She was hesitating. She did not know if she should go and greet him. As she was thinking about it, the two people who were walking to the entrance caught her eye.

Qi Chengyue looked closely. She did not have the time to care about Cheng Dongge anymore. She had her eyes staring closely at the entrance.

The two people who arrived were Mu Huaisheng and Mu Sisi.

“I’m all right with Mu Huaisheng coming alone, but why did big brother invite Mu Sisi too?” said Qi Chengyue unhappily.

Grandmother Qi stood up, cleared her throat and said, “I’m the one who sent her the invitation.”

“What?” While holding onto Grandmother Qi’s arm, Qi Chengyue pouted. “Grandma, why did you invite her? What if she’s here to make trouble? Aren’t you getting yourself in trouble?”

“On an occasion like this, she has her brother watching her. She won’t be able to cause any trouble.” Grandmother Qi took a sip of tea to soothe her dry throat. “I want her to watch the wedding of Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu, hoping that it will end her love for Qi Chengzhi. Even if she still doesn’t plan to give up, I want her to feel upset and helpless about it. It is so that all she can do is sit and watch the wedding till the end.”

Qi Chengyue blinked her eyes and formed two dimples on her cheeks. “I’ll go and greet her.”

Immediately, she stood up and left. It was too late for Grandmother Qi to stop her. Grandmother Qi smiled helplessly. “You little girl!”

When Qi Chengyue stood, Cheng Dongge saw her instantly. In fact, Cheng Dongge had been watching Qi Chengyue since her arrival.

However, on an occasion like this, it was inappropriate for him to look for her.

After Qi Chengyue had divorced Jian Yi, the two of them had not kept in touch since then.

He saw Qi Chengyue walking to the entrance, so he took a glance at the entrance. When he saw Mu Huaisheng and his sister, he came to a realization. He could not help but chuckle.

Coincidentally, Qi Chengyue was also having her gaze turned toward him. When she looked into his eyes, she saw an unintended smile at the corner of his lips. Immediately, Qi Chengyue’s cheeks flushed. It was as if she was caught in the act of looking at him. She looked away with a guilty conscience, continuing her stride to the entrance.

Cheng Dongge smiled. When the vice president who was sitting next to him called his name, Cheng Dongge returned to his usual expression and turned to continue his talk with the vice president.

Mu Huaisheng was chatting with Qi Chengzhi at the entrance, while Mu Sisi was staring at Qi Chengzhi with her disgusting gaze. Qi Chengyue felt that Mu Sisi was stripping Qi Chengzhi’s clothes with her eyes.

Today, Qi Chengzhi wore a black wedding suit. He was standing with his broad shoulders and long legs, looking very attractive in his attire.

However, Mu Sisi’s stare was excessive. Xia Wenna, who was standing beside Qi Chengzhi, also felt uncomfortable with it. As for Qi Chengzhi, he had chosen to ignore Mu Sisi.

Qi Chengyue did not understand the situation at all. Since Mu Huaisheng had known about his sister’s behavior, why did he not pull Mu Sisi away from Qi Chengzhi?

Qi Chengyue walked up to them and stood by Qi Chengzhi’s side. After greeting Mu Huaisheng, she mocked Mu Sisi, “Miss Mu, what generosity you have, giving your best wishes to my big brother and sister-in-law.”

“Of course. I’m also here to give my consolation to you. I heard that you are divorced recently, abandoned by the man. It seems that your ex-husband has already had another woman behind your back. He even has an illegitimate child. Plus, it has been such big news in the media recently. So, I really sympathize with you as a woman. Are you coping with it well?” said Mu Sisi with a cold smirk.

“I’m alright with it. Even if he has cheated on me, at least there is still a man who is willing to cheat on me.” Since Qi Chengyue had divorced Jian Yi, she was now a free woman. She felt at ease now and did not have to care about the taboos anymore. “I’m not like you, Miss Mu. It’s not a secret that you like my big brother. Unfortunately, my big brother does not have the slightest intention to lie to you. You really are a poor woman.”

“You!” Mu Sisi had her eyes wide opened, staring at Qi Chengyue furiously. She looked as if she wished that she could shout at her at this moment.
