Chapter 172 Coming to you
now.

Church of Santa Fe.

Quan Shijin sat in the lounge, with no reaction from beginning to end. His expression was like that of a puppet, stiff and numb, without any of the joyful expression he had at a wedding.

“Shijin.”

Song Youning called out his name with a bit of heartache. Quan Shijin raised his eyes and glanced at Song Youning indifferently without saying a word.

Song Youning looked at Quan Shijin, whose face did not show a single trace of fondness.

She didn’t like Wen Ruoci in the first place, and after she knew that her beloved son shot herself without hesitation for Wen Ruoci, her resentment towards Wen Ruoci reached its peak.

But now, seeing that her precious son’s face had no vitality at all and he didn’t look expectant at all for the wedding, she couldn’t help but feel distressed.

“Shijin, there’s nothing wrong with Youwei. She has liked you since childhood. Even though you have never liked her, it’s still the same after a long time. The wedding is about to begin, and it’s your turn. Just smile a little…”

Quan Shijin said expressionlessly, “Wait a little longer!”

“What are you waiting for? The wedding is about to start in ten minutes, and Wen Ruoci hasn’t shown up yet. Do you think she will show up?”

Quan Shijin sat there unmoved.

Song Youning couldn’t persuade him, so he motioned to Quan Shize beside him to say something.

Quan Shize didn’t know what to say.

He had never seen such an outrageous wedding in his life.

He is the most anticipated and perfect eldest son in the family. He has been taught since childhood to abide by the rules and not to make the slightest mistake.

He did this throughout his thirty years of life.

It’s outrageous enough that Quan Shijin fell in love with a divorced woman.

Even weddings are so outrageous nowadays.

The bride can’t appear and can be replaced midway…

But whenever I think of Quan Shiyue saying that Quan Shijin would shoot him in the heart without hesitation, I can’t help but feel crazy.

He suppressed his thoughts again.

He pinched his brows and said with a headache, “Let him do it.”

To prevent him from shooting himself again if he can’t figure it out.

At this time, Song Chao and Xiao Fengcheng hurried over.

Seeing these two people, Quan Shijin immediately stood up and asked anxiously, “Any news?”

Both of them shook their heads. “Shijin, I’m sorry, there is still no news. I’m afraid today…”

They didn’t say what came next, but the meaning was very clear: there was a high probability that Quan Shijin and Yi Youwei would hold their wedding today.

The old lady won the bet.

Quan Shijin’s face turned a little pale, but he still showed a beautiful and charming smile.

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Fengcheng and Song Chao looked at each other and saw worry in each other’s eyes.

They really don’t know what will happen after today.

…………………………

Wen Ruoci was walking barefoot on the ground. When she was caught that day, her shoes had been thrown away somewhere.

The ground is not flat at all, and there are occasionally some broken glass or nails, which can easily cause you to step on them if you are not careful.

She didn’t know what she stepped on, but suddenly she felt a pain in the sole of her foot.

I lifted my foot and took a look, and found that I had stepped on broken glass.

She pulled the glass out and continued walking forward.

The wound was oozing blood and it was really painful.

Every step I take feels like I’m walking on the edge of a knife.

But she didn’t dare stop.

As she walked like this, she felt that her consciousness was about to fade away. In that dim underground passage, she felt as if her space and time were frozen.

There is no end in sight, only endless darkness.

She didn’t know how long she had been walking, but suddenly she seemed to see a tiny bit of light.

She was delighted.

Seeing the light means that she is closer to the exit, and then she is one step closer to Quan Shijin.

She ignored her almost numb feet and walked desperately towards the exit.

After she was freed, she stood at the door, looking at the bright sunshine, and couldn’t help wanting to cry. She was finally rescued.

She glanced around and was shocked to find that Mu Qingjiu had actually locked her up in the basement of a villa not far from Santa Fe Church.

It is said that the people living in this villa area are either rich or noble. No wonder Quan Qingjiu and the others failed to find her.

At the top of Santa Fe Church, there is a big clock, which shows that it will be ten o’clock in two minutes.

She didn’t have time to think about it and walked towards the church desperately.

At this moment the wedding in the church has already begun.

Many people find it strange.

Because today is the wedding of Wen Ruoci and Quan Shijin.

But why would the bride be Yi Youwei?

Some people speculated, “Is it because the Quan family felt that Wen Ruoci was getting married for the second time and they changed their mind at the last minute?”

“Yes, that should be the case.”

No one thought that Wen Ruoci would run away from her marriage.

Most people thought that the Quan family had suddenly changed their mind.

Lin Miu at the side couldn’t help but said, “All of you who don’t understand the situation should shut up.”

The man was disdainful, “Why? Did I say something wrong?”

“Even if the Quan family doesn’t marry a noble lady, they should at least marry someone with a clean background, right? It’s really a fantasy that they would be willing to marry a divorced woman.”

Lin Miao rolled up his sleeves, as if ready to fight, and couldn’t help but curse, “You are not innocent.”

Seeing that Lin Miu was about to quarrel with that man, Li Fei and Xiao Nanxin hurriedly stopped them. Although their faces looked very unhappy, they felt that Wen Ruoci and Quan Shijin obviously liked each other, but why did Yi Youwei get the upper hand in the end?
They all felt unfair for Wen Ruoci.

But I still endured it.

“Calm down, today is a special day.”

He Ci was also obviously agitated, “This is the church I decorated, why should I give it away cheaply to this woman!”

Shen Tianyi and Yu Shaoze tried their best to hold him down.

“Calm down. No matter how unhappy you are, you can’t make a scene here. You can’t really destroy this place again, can you?”

He Ci glanced impatiently at Yi Youwei who was standing at the church door, but ultimately did not get angry.

Yi Youwei looked at Quan Shijin standing at the end of the red carpet. He was wearing a white suit, noble and elegant. He seemed to be in a world of his own, and everyone around him seemed out of tune with him.

This is the man she is going to marry today.

The man she had been thinking about for more than ten years.

Today can finally belong to her.

She knew she would be able to wait for this day.

She stepped on the red carpet, raised her head, and walked towards him proudly step by step.

The priest asked Yi Youwei——

“Ms. Yi, are you willing to marry Mr. Quan as your husband? To love him, care for him, respect him, accept him, and be faithful to him forever, no matter sickness or health, no matter poverty or wealth, or any other reason?”

Yi Youwei smiled shyly, “I do.”

The priest asked Quan Shijin again:

“Mr. Quan, do you wish to be married to Miss Yi as your husband? To love her, care for her, respect her, accept her, and be faithful to her forever, whether in sickness or in health, whether in poverty or in wealth, or for any other reason?”

Quan Shijin lowered his eyes, his cold gaze fell on the ground, and he did not speak for a long time.

The old lady sitting in the first row coughed a few times. Quan Shijin looked around again, but still couldn’t see the figure he had been thinking about day and night. He closed his eyes, feeling quite desperate. Just as he was about to speak, a figure suddenly rushed in from the church door.
“Wait a moment–“

The sound was not loud, but almost everyone in the church heard it.

Wen Ruoci was probably walking a little too hastily and accidentally fell to the ground.

Everyone’s eyes subconsciously looked over there.

Some people, even if they are in a mess and not wearing fancy clothes, still attract everyone’s attention.

Quan Shijin stared in amazement at Wen Ruoci who suddenly appeared.

He seemed a little unable to believe that he really saw Wen Ruoci. His first reaction was that he might have hallucinations at this moment because he was thinking too much about Wen Ruoci.

Wen Ruoci fell to the ground, raised her face, and smiled at him gently, as dazzling and brilliant as the moonlight.

“Shijin, I’m sorry, am I late?”

It was not until Wen Ruoci said this that Quan Shijin truly reacted. It was really Wen Ruoci. She really appeared. It was as if she had appeared for a thousand years.

He couldn’t hold it in any longer and walked towards her without thinking.
