Chapter 4

You May Now Kiss the Bride

If Grandmother found out about the cancellation of the wedding today, her body would definitely not be able to take it. She could lose Lu Zhuo and her love, but she could not disappoint her grandmother, who loved her the most in the world. She could not let her Grandmother die without fulfilling her greatest wish.

Xu Jiaojiao looked up at Qi Shenbai and said, “Mr. Qi, you only need to maintain your marriage with me for a year. In return, I can save your sister.”

Qi Shenbai narrowed his eyes. “Do you know me?”

Xu Jiaojiao licked her lips and nodded dryly. “My brother is your friend. I’ve seen your photo on his phone.”

Qi Shenbai was the CEO of the Qi Group and the head of the Qi family. He was mysterious and kept a low profile. He had been all-powerful in the raging world of business for ten years, but no newspaper dared to publish his photo. Therefore, not many people knew Qi Shenbai.

Qi Shenbai lowered his gaze. After a long time, his thin lips moved slightly. “Can you really save my sister?”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded again. “I never lie. If I lie to you, you can do whatever you want to my brother.”

Qi Shenbai was confused.

Xu Zhengyang, who was currently looking for the best man in the world for his sister, had a bad feeling.

The corridor was quiet, and the lights were dim. Xu Jiaojiao waited for Qi Shenbai to speak, as if she was a defendant at a trial. After a long time, Qi Shenbai’s thin lips parted slightly, and he said softly, “Okay.”

Initially, the relatives of the Lu family had received news that today’s wedding had been canceled. Unexpectedly, before they could leave, they received further news that the wedding had begun. They looked at each other and sat back in their chairs curiously.

After a while, the music started playing and the door of the wedding hall opened. Xu Jiaojiao held the man’s arm and slowly walked down the red carpet. The wedding hall was silent. They were not surprised that the groom had changed, but this groom was surprisingly handsome!

When Xu Jiaojiao’s parents and Old Madam Xu, who had received the notice, saw this scene, they stood up in shock. Wasn’t the wedding canceled? What was going on now? Who was the man next to Jiaojiao?

Xu Jiaojiao could feel the gazes from all directions below the stage, but she kept a straight face and tried her best to control her expression. However, when she saw Qi Shenbai from the corner of her eye, her heart involuntarily skipped a beat. She had no choice. This man was really too handsome. He had a face that made it impossible for her heart to remain calm!

Xu Jiaojiao lowered her eyes and decided not to look at Qi Shenbai anymore in order to ensure that she could carry out the wedding smoothly. Because of her grandmother’s health, the wedding process had been simplified significantly. After a simple oath and an exchange of rings, the host held the microphone and announced, “Now, the groom may kiss the bride.”

Xu Jiaojiao and Qi Shenbai were taken aback. They had forgotten to cancel this step when they called the host over to update him. Now that they were here, what should they do?

Xu Jiaojiao could not help but look at Qi Shenbai. Her mind was in a mess. Should she kiss him or not?

Suddenly, Qi Shenbai took a step forward. He did not lift her veil, but held her face through it. The man’s warm palm pressed against her cheek, and Xu Jiaojiao’s face began to burn. Her eyes widened as she watched Qi Shenbai lower his head. A black shadow enveloped her, and their breathing intertwined for a second. Xu Jiaojiao was stunned.

At the same time, Xu Zhengyang, who had just returned from a phone call, saw this scene and his face darkened! ‘F*ck, Qi Shenbai, you dog! How dare you taint my sister!’

After the wedding, at the Xu family home…

Old Madam Xu was sitting on the sofa in a dark red cheongsam. Because she was sick, her thin face was sunken, but her eyes were sizing up Qi Shenbai, who was sitting at the side.

Xu Jiaojiao sat next to her grandmother and hugged her arm as she said softly, “Grandma, I’m sorry. I can’t marry Lu Zhuo because the person I like is…” She paused for a moment. Xu Jiaojiao glanced at the calm Qi Shenbai from the corner of her eye. In the end, she went all out and said, “It’s Qi Shenbai.” Only by making her grandmother believe that the person she liked was Qi Shenbai would the problem with her wedding finally be over.

Old Madam Xu retracted her gaze and looked at Xu Jiaojiao lovingly. She asked doubtfully, “Is he really the person you like? Why haven’t I heard you mention him before? When did you meet him?”

“We’ve known each other for a long time,” Xu Jiaojiao said. Afraid that her grandmother would not believe her, she added, “Qi Shenbai and Big Brother are good friends. Big Brother introduced us to each other. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him.”
