Chapter 179: Extra 2

"Men marrying, a poor boy and a rich heir, an only son, life in a wealthy family... all the buzzwords are there, keeping the heat high for several days without dropping."

"But without any clarification from the people involved, online opinion quickly turned sour."

"Probably fake news. Isn't Shen Wang known for chasing trends? Definitely a publicity stunt."

"Clearly fake. Isn't Shen Wang afraid of a legal notice from the Gu family, or does he think he's invisible to them?"

"True or false, we'll know in time."

So, with everyone eagerly waiting, the rumored wedding date finally arrived.

As netizens predicted, neither the Gu family nor Shen Wang made any public statement.

Disappointed, netizens furiously typed: "[Damn it, refund!]"

"[Wasting our energy]"

"[Who made up this ridiculous fake news... I can't believe I actually fell for it, I'm such an idiot]"

As they grumbled and complained, a live stream suddenly started and quickly became the hottest stream.

Curious, the netizens clicked in, only to find it was Shen Wang's channel. However, clearly, the person broadcasting wasn't Shen Wang. The young voice behind the camera announced: "The live stream starts now!"

The live stream showed a classic Chinese wedding scene, grander and more luxurious than the usual.

Netizens were baffled and about to inquire about the situation when someone exclaimed: "[Wow, is this a wedding scene?]"

"[Could it be Shen Wang is really getting married? No way...]"

The more they watched, the more astonished everyone became.

"[Wait, isn't that the young master of the Lin family from the capital?!! He's attending Shen Wang's wedding?!!]"

"[The Lin family's young master is nothing; did you see that old man who just flashed by the camera? He's our company's chairman. Although the Gu family is wealthy, his presence is still a shocker.]"

"[Wasn't that fleeting figure the Liang siblings? Liang's heir has had connections with Shen Wang, so their attendance isn't surprising, but why are their parents here too...]"

"[...These CEOs are nothing. Let me just say, you are underestimating the guests here. Let's put it this way, I saw people who are usually in the news.]"

As everyone was busy recognizing people, the person streaming moved the phone erratically, making everyone dizzy: "[Oh my, getting motion sickness from watching a live stream, that's a first.]"

The next second, a stunning beauty in a red traditional wedding dress with long hair appeared on the screen.

The person's face was exquisitely beautiful, flawless, with a red mole under the eye adding to their enchanting appearance. Despite this, their expression was cold, their eyes emotionless, subduing all their flamboyance, emanating an aloof aura that kept others at bay.

"Bro, how are you preparing?" exclaimed the person live streaming with joy.

The red-haired beauty glanced at him indifferently, his voice cool: "At my wedding, if you cause any trouble..."

"I'll break your legs."

His words made Gu Xiaodi's hand tremble, and the audience in the live stream did the same.

Gu Xiaodi stammered, "I saw everyone online criticizing Shen Ge, so I took his phone to live stream for him, to prove something on his behalf..."

Gu Dongting glanced over indifferently, "Just this once."

"Eh, thanks, bro," Gu Xiaodi's tail seemed to wag again.

Hearing this, the netizens were completely dumbfounded.

[Never would have imagined... Shen Wang is really marrying into a wealthy family.]

Gu Xiaodi wandered around the wedding, snapping photos here and there without focus, showcasing to the netizens nothing but bouquets worth tens of thousands, wine bottles worth millions, and a line of luxury cars parked at the entrance.

The netizens went from initial surprise to gradual numbness.

It wasn't until the wedding officially started and Gu Xiaodi finally sat quietly in his seat that everyone perked up, craning their necks to see the stage.

On the stage stood two equally handsome and tall men, one with long hair and the other with short, one delicately charming and the other strikingly handsome. Together, they were like the sun and the moon, each splendid in their own right, complementing each other perfectly.

The previously icy long-haired beauty now seemed like a different person, with a slight smile on his lips and a gentle look in his eyes, full of tender affection.

[?? Are the groom and his twin performing a face-changing act?]

Gu's father soon took the stage. As the father of Gu Dongting, he looked at the two in front of him, his eyes slightly red: "Xiaoting, Xiaoshen, life's journey is long. As parents, we can't be with you every step of the way. In the long journey of life ahead, you will be each other's greatest support."

"Both of you are outstanding children who make me very proud. I believe you can accompany each other through all difficulties... I only hope that your journey is smooth and your love remains as strong as it started."

Upon hearing this, both Shen Wang and Gu Dongting showed unusual expressions.

As ordinary people, Gu's father and mother have only a hundred years of life. As parents, their greatest concern is the future life of their children.

Faced with this heartfelt paternal love, Gu Dongting was also moved: "Dad."

Gu's father quickly overcame his sadness and smiled again: "It's a joyous day, let's not talk about this. I wish you lasting love and a lifetime together."

In the live stream, seeing Gu's father, who often appeared on TV, everyone was speechless.

[Shen Wang... what a great feat, not only did he win over the son of the wealthiest man, but he also gained the approval of his family.]

[Some jealous folks should stop being sour, look at the two of them, aren’t they a perfect match?]

[What's the use of being good-looking? In such a wealthy and influential family, what matters is the background, otherwise, what good can come from marrying into it...]

Before the comments could escalate into an argument, Gu Xiaodi, the younger brother and one of the grooms, had already stood up to toast with the other groom, casually placing his phone in his pocket, leaving the camera exposed.

The netizens then saw business tycoons surrounding Shen Wang and Gu Dongting, showering them with praises: "A perfect match, truly a perfect match."

"Both Mr. Gu and Mr. Shen are capable individuals. Your union is a strong alliance, couldn't be better."

Besides these business magnates, some familiar faces often seen on TV stood up to toast Shen Wang: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

"We're grateful for Mr. Shen's selfless contributions."

When the netizens later saw renowned masters toasting Shen Wang and showing respectful attitudes, they were completely numb.

[Wait, can someone tell me, wasn’t Shen Wang a genuine young master from a bankrupt family? Why is everyone queuing up to toast him?]

[Who knows, maybe he saved the world.]

"After Kicking the Evil God, I Became Even More of a Charmer"

——by Ming Yu Ke Xi

In the 31st century, the Earth's core was occupied by unspeakably evil entities.

The Holy Ground Underground Research Institute, as the only officially recognized containment organization, carried out the task of containing dangerous entities.

As a newcomer, Li Ran was assigned the exclusive code 003 upon entering the institute, and nobody in the organization accepted him.

With his pale complexion and deep tear troughs, due to his fragile and delicate appearance, he was universally seen as a mere decorative vase.

What caused more controversy was the discovery by the archival department of a long history of mental illness in his childhood.

But soon, everyone realized that Code 003 was like a mascot for them.

Li Ran, looking at a monster as tall as a building, spitting out an unknown liquid from its orifice and chattering unintelligibly at him, yawned and sleepily warned, "Don't spit everywhere, have some manners."

The monster, as if understanding, awkwardly covered its orifice with what could not be discerned as either hands or feet.

The hurriedly arriving execution team leader protected Li Ran behind him, and everyone could see that Code 003 was terrified, his eyes reddening.

Li Ran was patted on the shoulder, and the organization comforted him: "It's been tough, it's all over now, don't be afraid."

Li Ran yawned again, his eyes misting – working late and overtime was indeed exhausting.

Later, dangerous entities that were recorded but couldn't be contained would obediently submit in the presence of Code 003, baffling everyone.

In the ability evaluation, Li Ran was absurdly labeled as "using his beauty to his advantage."

And no one argued.

What Li Ran didn't bother to explain was that since childhood, he could see these terrifying entities. After sharing this with his family for the first time, he was rewarded with several years of psychiatric treatment and never mentioned it again.

He also had a childhood friend, his first love, invisible to everyone but him.

But once, during a hide-and-seek game played out of sheer boredom, he cheated by opening his eyes and saw his little boyfriend transform into something he didn't want to remember, hiding in a desk crack.

Li Ran fell silent.

After the breakup, the evil entities of the world gradually began to take shape.

As pedestrians screamed and ran away, Li Ran calmly ate skewers at a barbecue stand.

A tentacle crawled out of the sewer and wrapped around Li Ran's trouser leg.

Fed up, he kicked it away: "Trying to add to my meal, huh?"

The monsters babbled: ^+#^=！$@@:$!

(Sister-in-law is fierce!)

(Finally saw her in person! The boss's lover is so spicy!)

April 1, 3025, was an unlucky day for Li Ran, who went to the library to research a disappearance case.

The man handing him books was graceful: "Sir, you seem familiar."

Li Ran glanced at him: "Oh, you look familiar too, like my deceased ex-boyfriend."
