Lin Lanxing still relied heavily on Lin Qiutong. She reached out and hugged Lin Qiutong tightly, "I don't know either, I just feel very uneasy."
It was more confusion than uneasiness for Lin Lanxing.
Although she had agreed to marry Shen Qiwen, she had no plans for the future, nor could she clearly see her own path.
At this moment, Shen Qiwen spoke with a smile, "Tongtong, please talk to Xingxing. I say she has pre-wedding jitters, but she doesn't believe me and even says I don't love her. I've explained until my mouth is dry. If possible, I really want to dig out my heart and let her see it, so she can be more at ease."
Lin Qiutong glanced at Shen Qiwen. When he looked at Lin Lanxing, his gaze was so tender it could drown someone, as if he truly loved Lin Lanxing deeply.
Lin Qiutong didn't know if Shen Qiwen had truly fallen for Lin Lanxing, but she suddenly felt a pang of annoyance.
This Shen Qiwen had previously acted so devoted, saying he only loved her his entire life.
To think he fell for Lin Lanxing so quickly. Hmph… men, none of them are good!
She felt incredibly agitated, but outwardly, she smiled quite happily, "Don't worry."
Shen Qiwen gave Lin Qiutong a look of veiled meaning, then left the two sisters of the Lin family to themselves.
Shen Qiwen felt a bit vexed. With only twenty minutes left until the wedding ceremony, he went to the smoking area and lit a cigarette irritably.
After taking just two puffs, his phone suddenly rang. Seeing the familiar number, Shen Qiwen's brows furrowed tightly. He hung up the phone directly, but the next second, the ringing started again.
Unable to stand it any longer, Shen Qiwen answered the phone, "Didn't I tell you not to contact me during this period?"
"Mr. Qiwen, I heard you're marrying the second daughter of the Lin family. Isn't Qiutong the one you love? Why are you marrying Lin Lanxing?"
"Do I need to report to you who I marry?"
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say, Shen Chi Yan has already abandoned Qiutong. If you marry another woman, what will happen to Qiutong?"
The call was from Feng Wan Hui. Upon hearing that Shen Qiwen was marrying Lin Lanxing, Feng Wan Hui could no longer sit still.
Although Feng Wan Hui looked down on Shen Qiwen, she could see that Shen Qiwen truly loved her daughter.
Her daughter had already suffered a significant blow with the Shen Chi Yan situation. If Shen Qiwen no longer loved her, how pitiful would she be!
Shen Qiwen let out a self-deprecating laugh. "You might not know this, but the reason Lin Lanxing and I are getting married was orchestrated by Qiutong. I'm fulfilling her wish."
"What?"
"Don't call again. If you truly care for her, stay put. Shen Chi Yan is currently investigating the car accident. You'd best not slip up."
After speaking, Shen Qiwen hung up. He checked the time; fifteen minutes remained.
At this moment, Lin Qiutong also walked out of the room.
The moment their eyes met, Lin Qiutong said nothing and simply turned to leave.
Shen Qiwen watched her indifferent back and couldn't bear it. He strode forward, pulled Lin Qiutong to the room next to Lin Lanxing's, and pressed her against the wall.
Lin Qiutong's face changed drastically. She angrily pushed Shen Qiwen, "Are you crazy? Let go of me!"
"Tongtong, I just need one word from you. Just say one word that makes me take you away, or at least show me a shred of affection, then I…"
Before Shen Qiwen could finish speaking, Lin Qiutong grabbed his collar. Her eyes were filled with warning, "Shen Qiwen, we're at this point. What you need to do is marry Lin Lanxing obediently. Otherwise, I will not let you off!"
With that, Lin Qiutong forcefully pushed Shen Qiwen away and left the room. Shen Qiwen leaned against the wall with his head down for a while, letting out a self-mocking laugh.
Didn't he always know that Lin Qiutong didn't like him at all?
Why did he still hold onto hope? Why was he so obstinate?
Since her wish was for him to marry Lin Lanxing, how could he bear not to fulfill it?
The wedding ceremony quickly began. Lin Lanxing was led onto the stage by her father, Lin Xing'an, and handed over to Shen Qiwen.
As everyone witnessed Shen Qiwen and Lin Lanxing exchange rings and kiss, there was a roar of cheers and joy.
Shen Zhengming was full of pride and happiness. Although his son was not as capable as Shen Chi Yan in everything, he was at least marrying a daughter of the Lin family, unlike Shen Chi Yan, who married a commoner of low status, and a mute at that.
Lin Lanxing and Ye Fanglin were also somewhat relieved. At least marrying into the Shen family was better than marrying into other families.
During the host's recitation of vows, Shen Chi Yan kept looking at Song Qinian.
Come to think of it, although they had been married for three years, they had never had a wedding. Did Qiqi really look forward to their wedding?
If she were to wear a pure white wedding dress, she would undoubtedly be the most beautiful and adorable bride in the universe.
He still owed Qiqi a wedding.
Thinking of this, Shen Chi Yan felt immense guilt. He owed Qiqi too much. Fortunately, he had enough time to make up for it.
Song Qinian felt quite uncomfortable being stared at so intensely by Shen Chi Yan. She sighed, turned, and gestured behind Shen Chi Yan, "Can you stop looking at me? The newlyweds are on stage!"
Shen Chi Yan held Song Qinian's slender and beautiful fingers and gently kissed her fingertips.
That kiss was as light as a feather, yet as heavy as Mount Tai.
Song Qinian's heart fluttered, and her whole body grew warm.
She immediately withdrew her hand.
Seeing Song Qinian's flushed ear tips, Shen Chi Yan knew she wasn't entirely unaffected. He was in a great mood and flashed a brilliant smile, "No one here is as good-looking as you."
Song Qinian: "..."
Suddenly, Song Qinian felt someone staring at her. The gaze was sharp and terrifying. Song Qinian's body instinctively trembled.
She glanced in the direction of the gaze but saw nothing.
Seeing Song Qinian's face suddenly turn somewhat grim, Shen Chi Yan asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"
Song Qinian shook her head. Perhaps she was imagining things.
After the wedding, the reception and toast began.
As the head of the Shen family, Shen Chi Yan naturally had to host the event. Song Qinian didn't need to accompany Shen Chi Yan for entertainment. She spent some time with the elderly lady and ate something with Qin Qin before wanting to find a quiet place to rest.
As she walked to a corner, she suddenly saw Shen Qiwen talking to a man while holding a glass of wine.
Shen Qiwen maintained a very humble demeanor while speaking, appearing quite respectful to the man in front of him.
The man had his back to her, so Song Qinian couldn't see his face, but she inexplicably felt that the man's back was very familiar.
