"What?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Wang Yuyan was shocked and said, "Brother Shen Lang, don't be impulsive. Perhaps Sister Qinghan left for a reason. Can we go find her and let her explain it clearly in person?"
"There's no need. She left without saying a word. She abandoned me, and from now on, we are strangers."
Shen Lang looked at Wang Yuyan and said, "Whatever difficulties she had, she could have told me. Even if she encountered immense trouble, I would have helped her solve it. But to abandon me, I will not forgive her."
"Yuyan, you are my fiancée, and I like you very much. It's only natural for you to marry me. Don't you want to?"
Shen Lang looked at Wang Yuyan and added, "If you don't want to, then forget it."
The opportunity for marriage was right before her. Wang Yuyan had to consider if this was the only chance in her life. Finally, Wang Yuyan nodded and said, "Brother Shen Lang, I am willing to become your bride and marry you."
"Good—"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang's face finally showed a hint of a smile. "Please wait a moment, I will have someone prepare a wedding dress for you."
With that, Shen Lang picked up Wang Yuyan's phone and dialed Qin Long's number. He said, "Brother Qin Long, it's me, Shen Lang."
Qin Long had other work commitments today and couldn't attend the wedding. Hearing Shen Lang's call, he felt a little embarrassed and said, "Brother Shen, I'm truly sorry, but I have some urgent work here and cannot make it to the wedding. I apologize. However, rest assured, I will definitely make up for the red envelope later, and you won't be shortchanged."
"Haha, thank you, Brother Qin Long. But compared to the red envelope, I have something more urgent for you right now."
Shen Lang said, "Do you remember the 'Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Dress' you lost to me in that bet last time? I want it now."
"The Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Dress?"
Hearing Shen Lang's words, Qin Long sounded surprised. "Why do you suddenly want the Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Dress? Aren't you getting married today?"
"Why I need the Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Dress is complicated, and you don't need to know so much. Just give me the clothes."
Shen Lang said, "Some unexpected things have happened here, and it's hard to explain everything in a few words. We can talk about it later, alright?"
"Of course."
Qin Long replied, "The Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Dress is at my home. I will have someone deliver it to Song Family Manor for you now. Don't worry, it will reach your hands within fifteen minutes and will definitely not delay things."
"Good, thank you, Brother Qin," Shen Lang said gratefully to Qin Long before hanging up. He then turned to Wolong and said, "Wolong, the situation has changed. You will now take over as the wedding officiant. I don't want any more complications. Do you understand?"
"Senior Brother, don't worry, I understand."
Wolong knew that Shen Lang was suppressing anger at the moment but was maintaining his composure, unwilling to show his vulnerability. Therefore, Wolong wanted to uphold Shen Lang's dignity.
With that, Wolong strode onto the elevated platform and whispered to the wedding officiant, "From now on, I will handle the hosting. You two can step down. Your pay will be tripled."
The two wedding officiants were initially displeased at having their job taken away, but upon hearing Wolong's words, they immediately became agreeable. The two quickly descended the stage, handing over the hosting platform to Wolong.
"Esteemed elders, distinguished guests, I am the junior brother of the groom, Shen Lang. My name is Wolong, and I will now be your wedding officiant."
Wolong, holding the microphone, smiled at the guests below and said, "There was a small incident during the wedding just now, but please don't worry. The wedding will not stop because of it. It will proceed as scheduled, and the ceremony will commence in half an hour."
"During this half-hour, please feel free to enjoy the sumptuous food and fine wine, raise your glasses, and chat with each other to further liven up the wedding atmosphere."
With that said, Wolong stepped down from the platform, picked up a glass of wine, and smiled at the guests. "Now, let me raise my glass to wish the bride and groom a long and happy life together, with many descendants."
"Good—"
The wedding had already reached an awkward silence, and everyone was preparing to leave. Wolong's speech significantly revitalized the guests, who raised their glasses and drank with him.
For the next fifteen minutes, Wolong mingled with the guests, constantly toasting.
Wolong was not only adept at toasting but also possessed profound insights into business and even power struggles. He could converse with any guest and find common ground.
Fifteen minutes later, Xiong Zi arrived breathlessly, holding a box, and presented it to Shen Lang. He panted, "Group Leader Shen, Group Leader Qin asked me to deliver this to you. Please check if there are any issues."
"Xiong Zi, you've worked hard. Sit down and rest."
Shen Lang knew that Xiong Zi must have rushed here with all his might to arrive within fifteen minutes, so he was very touched. He said to Xiong Zi, "I will remember this favor, Shen Lang. I will repay you when the opportunity arises."
"Group Leader Shen, we are all on the same side. Please don't say such things. It makes us feel like strangers."
Xiong Zi gasped for air and said, "I'll rest for a moment. You carry on with your business and don't mind me."
"Alright—"
Shen Lang smiled slightly and said, "Rest well. I'll join you for the wedding feast later. I need to leave for a bit. I'll come back to keep you company."
With that, Shen Lang turned and walked towards Wang Yuyan. He said to her, "Yuyan, this box contains the Rainbow Skirt and Feathered Dress. Legend has it that it was prepared for Consort Yang. I don't know what it looks like, but put it on, and let's get married, okay?"
"Brother Shen Lang, you know me. I love you, and I will never refuse any of your requests."
Wang Yuyan took the box and smiled. "Wait for me for a moment. I'll change my clothes and put on some makeup, and then I'll come out."
Wang Yuyan left with the box. After she was gone, Song Qingyi walked over and looked at Shen Lang. "Son, aren't you being too impulsive? I think you should find Qinghan and ask her for the reason she left before making a decision. Marrying Yuyan like this now, I worry you'll regret it later."
"Mom, this is my decision, and I won't regret it."
Shen Lang looked at his mother and smiled. "The things I hate most in this life are deception and abandonment. But Qinghan embodies both. We are fated to be apart forever."
"As for Yuyan, she was always my fiancée. We were meant to marry, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, we never got together. Now, we are simply back on the right track."
