Chapter 390: Capture Shen Qingci

Chapter 390: Seizing Shen Qingci

Chun Ya knocked on the dressing room door. "The Li family's airship has arrived. The wedding party has arrived."

About two minutes later, the door opened from the inside. Chun Ya raised an eyebrow at Wu Yue.

With a teasing expression, Chun Ya said, "Didn't you say you weren’t going to wear this one?"

Wu Yue replied, "...I thought about it, and I still think this one looks better on me."

Chun Ya put on an exaggerated look of realization. "Did the other dress get dirty? Or was it ripped?"

Wu Yue looked up. "No!"

Chun Ya smirked. "Then let me go in and check."

Wu Yue stopped her. "Wait a minute. If you go in now, you might walk in on something."

Chun Ya caught on again. "Oh, Shen Que might kill me, right? He’s still... busy?"

There was no fooling a pro like her.

Wu Yue gritted her teeth. "Chun Ya!"

Chun Ya laughed. "Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore.

Let’s go on ahead. Shen Que isn’t part of the groomsmen anyway."

Wu Yue nodded. Before leaving, she glanced back at Shen Que, who had already buttoned up his shirt and was now doing up his uniform.

He lifted his gaze and met her eyes. Suddenly, Wu Yue jolted as if zapped by electricity.

Chun Ya turned back in confusion. "What’s wrong? You're all flushed."

Wu Yue shook her head. "...It’s nothing."

_Wu Yue: Stop thinking about those things right now._

_Shen Que: You dared to do it, so why can’t I think about it?_

_Wu Yue: Then I’ll cut our mental link!_

_Shen Que: What if I don't just think about it—what if I act on it right now?_

Wu Yue exhaled deeply. Fine, let him be... After all, the farther apart they were, the weaker their mental link became.

Wu Yue walked over to stand beside Jiang Yuhua. When Li Yiran arrived with Shen Qingci and three other SS-rank groomsmen, the room was already jam-packed with people.

Besides the expected attendees—Jiang Yuhua, Wu Yue, Chun Ya, and Xiya—there were also Jiang Cheng, Jiang Huaizhi, Jiang Qian, Jiang Mubai, members of Sirius, and even Jiang Li and Jiang Ling.

Li Yiran, who had initially been nervous about getting beaten up, found himself strangely calm.

Ten thousand opponents. A literal ten thousand.

Not only would he get beaten up—he might actually get pummeled to death.

But to Li Yiran’s surprise, Jiang Yuhua stood up and marched up to him. "Let’s go, Master Li. We both know this is just a political match.

Let's skip the pointless ceremonies. If it weren’t for your Li family’s money, I wouldn't give you the time of day."

"You know how it is, I have to consider Sui Yu's feelings too."

Li Yiran stared at the hickey on Jiang Yuhua's neck and almost lost it.

Li Yiran forced a smile. "Miss Jiang, have some damn decency."

Jiang Yuhua shrugged. "From now on, we’ll only communicate when absolutely necessary. Sui Yu is the jealous type."

His smile died completely.

Li Yiran, "...Fine."

Fuck!!! He really felt like such a fool, chasing after her like this!! What a fucking loser!!

Jiang Qian and Jiang Mubai were wildly cheering her on from the side. Yes! That’s it! Our badass sister, this is your true power!

The way Jiang Yuhua had been acting all shy and clingy with Jian Suiyu these past two days had made them wanna puke!!

Jiang Yuhua turned to Wu Yue and winked at her.

Wu Yue, Chun Ya, and Xiya immediately gave her thumbs-ups. "Queen shit! This is how you play these fuckboys."

Li Yiran fumed, "I’m standing right here!!"

Xiya offered a fair assessment. "Honestly, Young Master Li, a walking red flag like you doesn't even qualify as 'men.' Calling you a man is already flattering."

Chun Ya nodded. "Technically speaking, you're basically a eunuch."

Wu Yue added, "Even eunuchs these days go for pure love. Calling you a eunuch would insult eunuchs."

Li Yiran saw red. Just as he raised his fist, Shen Qingci said with fake concern beside him:

"Young Master, have you forgotten what the family head said before we came?

In everything, you can’t just think of yourself. You must consider the entire family—we rise and fall together. You wouldn’t want the whole family to fall because of you, would you?"

Li Yiran stared at Shen Qingci in disbelief. At this point, he was starting to suspect Shen Qingci was a mole planted by the other side!!

Just look at this guy—since founding Shadow, he hadn’t done a single thing to undermine Blaze, nothing but screw-up after screw-up!!

Li Yiran felt like he needed a fucking oxygen mask. The atmosphere in the Jiang family was suffocating, just standing there made it hard to breathe!

Swallowing his anger, Li Yiran said, "Miss Jiang, after you."

Jiang Huaizhi interjected, "Young Master Li, after the shit you've pulled, Yuhua will only ride our Jiang family’s own shuttle to the engagement venue."

Li Yiran watched helplessly as his soon-to-be fiancée’s publicly announced lover walked out of another room, scooped up his fiancée right in front of him, and led her away.

Jian Suiyu lowered his head. "Let’s go, Yuhua. I’ll take you to the shuttle."

Jiang Yuhua immediately hooked her arm with his. "Okay."

Li Yiran’s ears rang. He thought he heard the "beep boop" of an ambulance—his heart was pounding at 180, and he was about to flatline any second.

Shen Qingci advised him, "Young Master, you must always remember—"

Li Yiran snapped, "I know!"

Shen Qingci bowed his head, the perfect image of a scheming henchman.

Shen Que walked out of the room a moment later, moving to Wu Yue's side as she looped her arm through his.

As Shen Que and Shen Qingci passed each other, Shen Qingci shot him an ice-cold, hateful look.

Wu Yue immediately turned to Shen Qingci. "Did you just glare at Shen Que?"

Shen Qingci averted his gaze. "I didn't."

Wu Yue sneered. "Do you even know where you're standing? How dare you act so recklessly!"

Shen Qingci retorted, "Wu Yue, even if this is the Jiang family, who are you to—"

Jiang Yuhua instantly turned around. "Yue Yue is my blood sister. Of course it's her place to speak! Everyone in the Jiang family answers to her!"

Shen Qingci stared at Jiang Yuhua in shock, then at Wu Yue in disbelief. Li Yiran gaped.

"What did you say?! This Wu Yue is actually Lu Ling and Jiang Cheng's daughter?!"

Wu Yue snapped a cold command. "How dare you slight me in the Jiang family? Guards, seize Shen Qingci at once!"

Li Yiran was dumbfounded. "Huh? He’s still my groomsman! How can the Jiang family openly make a move on him like this?!"

They truly couldn't care less about the Li family at all!!!

Jiang Li stepped forward. "Young Master Li, technically speaking, you should call me 'Dad.' This matter is decided by Dad. We’ve all wronged Yue Yue, so we’ll play the tyrant and be a little unreasonable. You understand, right?"

Li Yiran was reeling from Jiang Li’s repeated use of "Dad." The way Jiang Li spoke didn’t sound like his father at all—it was like he was being treated like some dumb grandson!!

Just as Li Yiran was seeing red, Shen Qingci suddenly gave him a soulful look and urged,

"Let it go, Young Master. Qingci knows you truly care."

Under Shen Qingci’s tender gaze, Li Yiran immediately caved.

He even cooperated willingly. "Just take him away already."

Enough of this nauseating charade!!!
