Chapter 36 Nacht At the wedding, he kissed her so hard...

At the banquet, Quezhan was arranged to sit next to Xie Xianshen again.

From the press conference to now, the time has turned from the beginning of May to almost mid-May.

As for the wedding date, the elders of the Xie family suggested late May or early June. They asked the elders of the Que family what they thought of the time. After discussion, both families readily agreed.

Only one person sang a different tune.

Xie Xianshen said that he might be on a business trip at that time due to work arrangements, the key word was "maybe", but he didn't listen.

She had never heard him mention anything about a business trip, so she asked, "Are you going on a business trip at that time?"

That was great. Not only could she postpone the wedding temporarily, she could also do whatever she wanted at home by herself, and she wouldn't have to see Xie Xianshen all the time. She would be completely free.

"I have to go on a business trip." Auspicious dates are usually chosen for marriage events, and Grandpa Xie attaches great importance to this. "There are three auspicious days in late May. If Xian Shen has to go on a business trip, it may be difficult for him to make the round trip in time. In my opinion, how about postponing the wedding to June?"

Quezhan was the first to nod his head repeatedly, "Sure, Grandpa."

Like a cat with bright eyes.

As soon as Mr. Xie finished speaking, she replied, and the others didn't have time to receive the message.

The air suddenly became quiet.

Beside her, Quezhan suddenly felt that Xie Xianshen was looking at her. His gaze was cold and as indifferent as water. She didn't look at him, but turned to ask her grandmother for her opinion.

Xie Xianshen knew that she was hiding on purpose, "I just checked, May 17th is also a good day."

May 17th, that is, about a week later...

Hearing this date, the light in Sheng Zai Quezhan's eyes gradually faded, as if they had lost their spirit.

She felt aggrieved and secretly glared at Xie Xianshen, but he smiled calmly.

Looking at her cheeks puffing up after drinking a glass of water, the cat turned into a hamster, which was quite cute.

A week is more than enough time to prepare for a wedding. If there is a conflict between work and the wedding, there is no need to postpone it; just prepare it in advance.

The elders also agreed that it would be a good idea to hold the wedding early while the younger generations are not busy with work.

From the time the two of them obtained their marriage certificate to the time they publicly announced their marriage, the only thing left was this wedding.

Of course Quezhan was not happy about the early wedding date. She pursed her lips during the meal, but she couldn't show any expression since her elders were present.

"Feeling uncomfortable?"

Xie Xianshen's voice was drowned out by the voices of other elders, and was slightly lower, probably only the two of them could hear it.

The words seemed caring, but I couldn't tell how caring the tone was.

When she raised her eyes, she met the gaze of her grandmother, Ms. Liu. She smiled with her eyes curved, and replied without moving her lips: "No."

But she was poking at the food on the porcelain plate, absent-mindedly.

She poked the steamed shrimps in the porcelain plate several times with a blank look in her eyes. When she looked back, Xie Xianshen reached across and used the serving chopsticks to pick up the coriander from the steamed shrimps for her.

And put it on his own plate.

She knew he was acting, "No need, you're..." He

was trying too hard.

"Mrs. Xie is a bit picky about food and not very easy to raise."

"..."

It felt like she was saying this to the three little ones. He treated her like a little animal, right?

"When do you want to postpone the wedding? It has to happen sooner or later."

"I'm tired."

Quedan spoke word by word.

After all, she has never been married, and she must be very tired on the wedding day. She will have to drink a lot and see people she doesn't like.

-Two

days before the wedding, Que Zhan, Xun An, and Cong Jiang had a dinner appointment at the pre-booked Lao Paifang Restaurant in Jingfei Lane.

"In two days, I will watch you get married with my own eyes."

Thinking back to the beginning, Xun Ang said that they must get married before Que Zhan, but the variable of marriage suddenly appeared. "I feel really bad watching you being snatched away by other men. If I snatch your marriage away in public, baby, will you follow me?"

"I don't want to be your and Pei Mo's mistress."

The three of them couldn't help but laughed.

"Come to think of it, among the three of us, only Ah Jiang is still single." Xun Ang helped her find a partner. "Tell me what type you like, and I'll help you look for one. Don't hang around your medicine cabinet all day long."

Cong Jiang smiled, "What for? My little medicine cabinet will accompany me for the rest of my life, okay?"

He changed the subject, "You also know about my experience in high school. I think it's pretty good now. I have a job I like and true friends around me. If..."

It would be even better if she could get away from her original family.

She didn't mention it much in front of them, and asked about Congsheng's situation at work: "Zhanzhan, you are Congsheng's leader, just tell me if she has done anything wrong at work. I'm just afraid that if I assign her a job that is not done well, it will cause trouble to your company."

Quezhan joked that she didn't need to worry so much, as Congsheng was now following up on the Encre series of magazine projects, and after an internship for a while, she already had a rough idea in her mind, and she would consider making the girl a regular employee when the project was almost done.

"That's good."

They continued to eat and talked about other interesting things. Xunang covered his lips and curved his eyes, and accidentally saw an acquaintance.

It’s an acquaintance, very familiar.

"Look who that is?"

At the table diagonally opposite them, Xie Ling was facing them, and the figure with her back to them was also a woman. Xunang couldn't find the name in her memory, but she recognized her. She had met this Miss Xie Ruiyi once in Lianjuwu.

The two tables were not particularly close to each other, so they had no idea what the conversation was about.

Xie Ling and Xie Ruiyi sat face to face -

it had been a long time since Xie Ling had been to this restaurant, so he came over to take a look when he had nothing to do, but he didn't expect to be blocked by Xie Ruiyi again.

Xie Ruiyi came to see her several times, but Xie Ling never had a good face. Due to her stubborn personality, she had thorns in her bones. Facing the descendants of the Xie family who were not legitimate, she didn't look down on them at all.

"I was wondering why you can't figure it out."

According to seniority, Xie Ruiyi reminded Xie Ling that she still had to call her sister. "Neither you nor I like Que Zhan. She is now the business director of Rokori and has close cooperation with Levi. But at the end of the month, Scherlid also has to promote its new products and complete the publication of the magazine." "

This is a good opportunity, isn't it, Xie Ling?"

Finding an accomplice is not an easy task. They have a common goal, so they should eradicate the obstacle that they regard as a thorn in their eyes.

"Why me?" Xie Ling asked.

Xie Ruiyi wondered why she asked the question again, "I've said it before, neither you nor I like Quezhan."

"You didn't look very kind to her at the family dinner. After all, we are from the same Xie family. Although we are not blood relatives, we are at least sisters with blood ties. I can see your personality and what you are thinking."

Xie Ruiyi doesn't like Quezhan because Xie Xianshen and Xie Huaiming are in opposition, so she and Xie Huaiming naturally stand on the same side.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Xie Ling put down the glass of water. "In name, you are dealing with Que Zhan, but in fact, what good things can you and your sister hide in your heart?"

"Rokori and Scherlid are rival brands, and your brother invested in the latter."

"Xie Ruiyi, you don't have to flatter me just because I think I'm a lazy person. Don't push all the dirty work on me. I'm curious, when have we been on the same line?"

When have they ever been on the same line.

Xie Ruiyi certainly had her reasons for coming to find Xie Ling. First, as she said, Xie Ling had nothing to do. It seemed that his job as a pilot had been suspended for some reason. Second, she and Quezhan were sisters-in-law after all, so it would be very convenient for her to eavesdrop on some information.

However, Xie Ling was a stubborn person, and even if she used the other party's favorite and desired things as bargaining chips, she still couldn't get a good look in return.

Xie Ruiyi was so angry at this little girl that she felt stuffy in her chest. The American ginseng honey water she ordered was just right for her to calm down.

After taking a sip of water and turning around to rummage through her bag, Xie Ruiyi saw Quezhan not far behind her.

The corners of his lips rose slightly, "Thanks to you, I met the real boss today."

The woman stood up and walked towards Quezhan. Xie Ling cursed inwardly, Xie Ruiyi is really a troublemaker.

Following Xun'ang's suggestive look, she turned her gaze to Xie Ling's side. Before she was about to look away, Xie Ruiyi walked towards them with her bag. The other party kept staring at her, and she no longer looked away, but looked back indifferently.

"What a coincidence, sister-in-law, are you having dinner with friends?"

Xie Ruiyi said a few polite words, put her bag on the empty seat at their table, and sat down while talking, "Do you mind if there is one more person?"

Xun Ang sneered: This person really doesn't treat himself as an outsider.

If it wasn't for Quezhan's sake, she would have been the first one to speak up and chase them away.

"Someone came uninvited and the seat is already taken. What can I say?" The brother and sister Xie Huaiming and Xie Ruiyi were the first to be alert.

Xie Ruiyi smiled with her eyes curved. This eldest sister-in-law of the Xie family was really different from the daughters of other groups. They were well-educated, well-mannered and kind-hearted, but this one was blatantly rebellious and vindictive.

If we really want to deal with it, we have to fight secretly, not openly.

"Sister-in-law still cares about this." Xie Ruiyi simply brought it over and talked about the wedding two days later. "Sister-in-law, you have to dress up beautifully at the wedding. After all, the most beautiful time in a woman's life is on her wedding day. I heard that your brother helped you choose the wedding dress. What style is it? Let me see it."

She said a lot, but Que Zhan didn't hear a few words. "It's the 21st century, and your thoughts are still so outdated. On your wedding day, I will not only give you a big red envelope, but also praise you as the second most beautiful woman in the world."

"Because, I am the first."

There was a "tap" sound of glass colliding, and the cold liquid in the wine glass that Que Zhan put down shook. She raised her eyes, with an extremely arrogant tone and provocation, and ambition clearly revealed in her shallow eyes.

Seeing the other person's face turning red and his neck speechless, Xunang felt very happy.

"Really?"

Now, Xie Ruiyi was even more determined to deal with Que Zhan, "Sister-in-law, then we have to..."

After she stopped talking, the woman stood up, picked up the wine glass that Que Zhan had put down, and calmly tilted the glass horizontally, and the wine dripped down and fell into the trash can.

There was a hint of cruelty in his eyes, but he confronted her openly, "Just wait and see."

The dinner ended.

Xun Ang stood up for Que Zhan and said that it would be better for her not to marry into the Xie family. Both her cousin Xie Huaiming and her cousin Xie Ruiyi were not pure-hearted and had wolfish faces and poisonous snake hearts.

"Baby, you have to be careful with them."

Quezhan knew, but he couldn't guess what these two siblings would do.

After Xun Ang and Cong Jiang left, Que Zhan walked to the alley entrance and pressed the car key in his hand. The car lights flashed and a person was standing on the side of the car.

He is not very tall and his figure is more like a woman.

"Xie Ling?"

"I'll leave after I've said that." Xie Ling didn't waste any words. She told Quezhan what Xie Ruiyi had said to her in the restaurant, "You'd better be careful about Xie Ruiyi and her brother. She is eyeing the Rokori magazine project."

As expected, she left after she had said that.

But he didn't let her go immediately. He stepped in front of her and said, "Are you helping me?"

"Didn't you hate me the first time we met? Why are you helping me?"

Xie Ling frowned with a cold face, "Repaying a favor. You helped me at the swimming pool, return the favor so that I don't feel upset."

It was an old-fashioned alley with not many lights on both sides. They were sparse and dim.

As Que Zhan approached, he saw the silver chain on Xie Ling's wrist, the one she had dropped that day in the swimming pool. It flashed with a faint light. Later, she returned the silver chain to her. When the little girl put it on her wrist, she remembered her lost Red Queen.

Also, Xie Ling's attitude towards her was not as harsh as it was at the beginning.

She smiled: "Thank you, Lingling."

Quezhan's thanks were sincere, but when Xie Lingling heard the reduplicated name, she couldn't tell whether she was disgusted or stressed. The girl's face became even colder. "Call me by my full name from now on."

After saying that, she left.

Quezhan stood where she was, and when she saw Xie Ling's figure disappear into the corner of the alley, she withdrew her gaze and raised the corners of her lips.

A cold-faced little hedgehog, the more you tease him, the more prickly he becomes.

The phone vibrated and a message appeared on the screen.

X: [I’m here.] 】

After the dinner, Que Zhan had to go to the bridal shop again to try on the wedding dress. The size had been adjusted. After all, the wedding was approaching and nothing could go wrong. If there were any minor problems with the wedding dress, it could be modified in time.

She put on the wedding dress she had chosen again. It fit her better than the first time. When she looked at herself in the mirror, she suddenly realized that she almost didn't recognize who she was.

The first time getting a marriage certificate and the first time wearing a wedding dress.

In the past 26 years, she had never chosen to get married.

The wedding was held two days later at the Xie family's private estate. Que Zhan didn't like indoor weddings and requested an open air wedding. She was not limited to the design and flowers she liked, and all her requirements for the wedding had to satisfy the eldest daughter of the Que family.

The Xie and Que families attached great importance to this wedding. All the wedding items were of top quality, from the fine dogwoods that started at four figures a stem and various rare roses to the entire wedding planning, location, food, and the daytime fireworks that were uniquely designed by a top R&D team and could be viewed during the day.

It’s all clear that romance comes first.

The heroine of the wedding, Que Zhan, appeared in the Julia Kontogruni shallow V high waist wedding dress that she had chosen. She walked alone along the wedding road surrounded by thousands of flowers. The ten-meter pure white skirt trailed gracefully, making her figure even more slim and slender.

As she walked along, the guests' attention was not only focused on the beauty of the heroine, but more importantly, on the ice crystal crown in her hair.

The crown is inlaid with hundreds of gravel diamonds. The angle of each diamond is accurate to the millimeter, and they are extremely valuable and unique. The bottom is surrounded by a 70-carat red blood diamond and a Botswana pear-shaped main stone. It is an extravagant and one-of-a-kind piece, worth as much as US$700 million.

The wedding of the century.

Everyone in the guest seats stared in amazement and couldn't help whispering to each other.

“Oh my God, the one-of-a-kind crown of the royal family! It’s like wearing dozens of houses in the capital on your head!”

“The bride is so beautiful and has such great temperament! They are such a perfect match!”

“The marriage is such a big deal, I can’t imagine how the Xie family will pamper the only daughter of the Que family in the future!”

“This is the wedding of my dreams! I can just pick up dozens of red banknotes!”

The two little flower girls in front of her scattered flower petals from their small flower baskets to pave the way for the Que lantern. When they came to Xie Xianshen, she looked at the man in front of her.

Those necessary declarations, promises, and vows of eternal love at a wedding were all extremely cold words to Quezhan.

"I do."

She had no feelings, no sincerity, the tone of these three words was flat, mechanical, and without warmth, as if it was just a node that had to be experienced in order to complete a certain task.

"Okay, now the groom can kiss your bride!"

Quezhan's eyes moved slightly.

In front of her, Xie Xianshen took a step towards her. The tall dark suit made him look even more elegant and his figure was also well-proportioned.

He saw herself in his black eyes. The distance between them was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, I felt a slight tingling sensation on my back. He put his hand gently on her waist and one hand on the back of her neck.

The bouquet of roses she held was trapped in front of them because of his sense of power. The petals became denser and denser, and the stamens closed. The sandalwood scent on his body bound her invisibly.

"Close your eyes."

When the man was only one centimeter away from her, the tip of his nose seemed to touch hers. She lowered her eyelashes and closed her eyes. The next moment, a light kiss was placed on her lips like a drop of water.

There was a muffled ringing in my ears.

Quezhan could only hear the restless sound of the guests clapping in unison, some sighing, some crying with joy. It was a pity that she couldn't see it. What she could clearly feel and made her pulse beat wildly was the invasion of Xie Xianshen's kiss on her lips.

Kissing in an occasion like a wedding, in front of so many people, was against Que Zhan's conscience.

"Alright..."

After only two seconds of kissing, she wanted to withdraw, whispering and moaning, putting one hand on his shoulder to push him away.

But he wouldn't allow it, and the force of his hand around the back of her neck gradually increased, with his finger bones stuck in that position like holding a disobedient kitten, forcing her to tilt her neck back in an arc that better catered to him.

"Don't hide."

He was still kissing her, his voice was very low, with slight gasps.

He also threatened her, "You promised me."

It was the deal she made with him.

He said he could teach her calligraphy, and the condition for that was the kiss at the wedding.

Quezhan suddenly felt regretful for a moment.

He kissed her so hard, too hard...
