Chapter 13 - Escape from marriage

The guests were in an uproar as they all stood up to watch, unable to make heads or tails of what was happening. There were also some people who understood the situation a little bit more and started to whisper information to the people around them.

"Wasn't it because of this Xia Qin'er that Young Master Zhou became so angry for her?"

"The bride is still in the dark? "That's too pitiful, isn't it?"

Liang Jia looked at Xia Qin'er's figure in the light, as well as her pitiful appearance. Suddenly, she felt as if a bucket of ice water was poured over her head. It was bone-chilling cold.

Normally, she didn't care much about Zhou Xing Chen's condition, but right now, the wedding was in full view of everyone.

Even if he did not care about her reputation, he should at least consider the Zhou family.

Liang Jia wanted to go up and try to persuade her, but for some reason, her steps seemed to have grown roots as they were nailed to the ground. She could only stare blankly as Xia Qin'er hugged his arm and cried her heart out. "Xing Chen, are you not going to get married?"

The sound of the shutter doors opening could not be heard. Zhou Xing Chen acted as if he couldn't hear her and lightly wiped away the tears in her eyes and stomach. He didn't say anything.

The press corps outside exploded.

Originally, he just wanted to shoot a documentary about Hongda's wedding step by step, but he didn't expect to encounter a love triangle that would attract the most attention from the audience.

The fierce rivalry between the new love and the old love has always been the best gossip to pass from one street to another.

The reporters were furious. The spotlight shone even brighter than the bright sun above their heads.

Xia Qin'er's eyes were filled with Zhou Xing Chen's handsome features, and she couldn't see anything else. She buried her face in his embrace, crying sorrowfully, "Xing Chen, didn't you say that as long as I agree to stay with you, you can ignore them?" I'll promise you right now that you won't marry anyone else, okay? "

She had spent the past month in torment. She had thought that Zhou Xing Chen had only wanted to release some of his anger, but who would have thought that the wedding ceremony would actually take place?

Xia Qin'er choked with sobs, almost unable to catch her breath.

Liang Jia watched this farce from afar, her limbs ice-cold. Although she couldn't see Zhou Xing Chen's expression from this angle, she knew that this Xia Qin'er was the White Moonlight in his heart.

How could he not agree to her request?

However, this was a public place, and he couldn't even wait for a moment like this? If word of this got out, it would harm the future of the Zhou family.

Liang Jia's gaze unconsciously drifted to Zhou's mother in the audience seating. She discovered that her opponent's face was already very unsightly and had been using her eyes to indicate for her to take action.

Thinking of the possible consequences, as well as his mother's hysterical attitude, Liang Jia's palms began to sweat even more.

She probed a few steps forward and spoke with difficulty, her voice hoarse, "Xing Chen …"

Zhou Xing Chen did not hear it.

The person in his arms had clearly lost a lot of weight. It was likely that he had been tormented to the point where he couldn't even look properly these past few days.

Xia Qin'er had always been proud. She was as proud as the clouds. He had been chasing her for so many years, and it was obvious that she was interested in him as well. However, she never expressed it. Even when she went out with him, she spoke indifferently.

If this wedding was able to force her to pour out her thoughts, it might not be a bad thing.

A trace of pity flashed through Zhou Xing Chen's eyes. His fingers caressed her face, but his voice sounded very regretful. "Xia, I'm sorry." "But, I already have Liang Jia."

He didn't know why, but from that glance, he noticed that she had been frozen in place with slightly reddened eyes. He suddenly felt somewhat irritated.

Zhou Xing Chen held Xia Qin'er's face in his hands, his heart a little at ease from the silkiness of the touch.

In any case, the woman in front of him was the one he had been yearning for so many years.

When Xia Qin'er heard him say so, the strength in her arms suddenly increased. Her head was buried in Zhou Xing Chen's bosom. She looked at Liang Jia like a bolt of lightning, and then lifted her head with trembling lips, tears glistening in her eyes.

It seemed as if she hesitated for a long time before she finally managed to gather her thoughts. Carefully pulling on Zhou Xing Chen's messy tie, she said with a sad smile, "But Xing Chen, you're the only one I've got!"

Zhou Xing Chen was startled. "Just me?"

Xia Qin'er's petal-like lips raised into a smile with all her might, but it made the onlookers' hearts ache. Her self-deprecating voice filled the air. "I originally planned to agree to your proposal after the new year, but you can't even wait these few months!"

She slowly shifted her gaze to Zhou Xing Chen's eyes. "Xing Chen, do you really, really not love me anymore?"

Zhou Xing Chen's arms tightened around the woman's waist. Although the woman in his embrace pretended to be strong, he could already see her frailty. "Xia, I'm not young anymore. I can't wait for next year."

As if she had grasped an opportunity, Xia Qin'er hurriedly grabbed his hand and tried to defend herself. "Then let's do it this year, okay?" "Next month, next month, we'll be engaged as long as you don't marry her now."

That was what he had been waiting for!

Zhou Xing Chen's expression didn't change as he pinched her chin. "Next month?" What time next month? "

Xia Qin'er didn't know what was going on and was already crying until she felt suffocated. She could only answer honestly, "How's the first weekend next month?"

"Alright." This time, Zhou Xing Chen agreed quickly. Not only Xia Qin'er, even the guests were stunned on the spot. "Remember, this is what you said."

With that, he took Xia Qin'er's hand and strode out, leaving the suddenly bustling church behind him.

From start to finish, he hadn't once glanced at Liang Jia who stood beside him, wrapped in her wedding dress.
