The people around Su Chen watched him eat with such relish that they looked at him as if he were a fool!
After all, the host had not yet announced the beginning, this was simply too impolite!
Keep in mind, this was a wedding banquet! And it was the Situ Family's wedding banquet at that!
Who was this important person's driver or assistant, making such a fool of his own boss!
However, their seats were tucked away in the back corner, far from the center of the bridal stage, so apart from the people nearby, no one else noticed him.
The wedding continued in accordance with the agenda; following the witness ceremony, it was ti for the parents of both sides to step onto the stage, with the Situ Family naturally being represented by Situ Ping and his wife, Yang Shan.
Yang Shan was from the Yang Family of Jiangbei, and it was her marriage to Situ Ping that had catapulted the Yang Family into the ranks of Jiangbei's top tycoons!
As for the Wu Family, the ones ascending the stage were Wu Jinjun and Liang Jing, and of course, they would not allow Ye i's birth mother to rise onto the stage, nor did they even bring her to Yandu, instead, they kept her strictly guarded within the Wu Family.
When Ye i called out "Mom" to Liang Jing, her heart truly reached the pinnacle of humiliation!
But for her own mother's sake, she had no choice!
Soon, the most sacred mont of the wedding was upon them, the exchange of rings.
Of course, before the exchange of rings, there was the part with the vows!
This was also the climax of the entire wedding, with everyone in attendance turning their gaze towards the center of the stage, witnessing the heart-stirring scene about to unfold!
"Situ Guang, do you take this woman before you to be your lawfully wedded wife? Do you promise to love her for all eternity, be faithful to her, in sickness and in health, in richness and in poverty, until death do you part?"
The officiant asked Situ Ping emotionally.
"I do!"
Situ Guang said without hesitation, his voice firm and strong, his eyes ablaze with an excited fervor!
The younger crowd underneath the stage, moved by the resounding "I do," looked at his agitated deanor and felt even more convinced that Situ Guang was brimming with love for this woman!
No wonder, seeing as the bride was so beautiful and possessed such a unique charm!
However, what they didn't know was that, at this mont, Situ Guang wasn't thinking about growing old with Ye i at all, but rather that this tantalizing woman would be lying in his bed tonight, at his rcy!
The very thought made his heart surge with heat!
"Ye i, do you take this man before you to be your lawfully wedded husband? Do you promise to love him for all eternity, be faithful to him, in sickness and in health, in richness and in poverty, until death do you part?"
The host then turned his gaze towards Ye i and asked.
Upon hearing the host's words, everyone expected Ye i to imdiately utter those three words!
However, after a few seconds, a sense of astonishnt began to spread among the guests!
Because, contrary to what they had expected, they didn't hear those few words — the bride was silent!
What was going on?
There was suddenly a hush over the venue!
The ones still standing on the stage, Situ Ping and his wife as well as Wu Jinjun and his wife, suddenly beca anxious, knowing that any mishap at this point would be no small embarrassnt!
At this mont, Ye i was extrely conflicted. In her heart, those three words were very sacred!
Because her mother never experienced joy in her marriage, Ye i had always hoped to willingly say those three words in front of the man she loved most!
Now, under these circumstances, facing a man whose gaze was filled with desire for her body, it was difficult for her to say those three words without feeling aggrieved!
As the seconds ticked by, the venue which had been filled with various murmurs suddenly fell completely silent!
Such a scene was rare, especially at the wedding of the Situ Family, it was simply unbelievable!
Sitting at the foremost table below the stage, Situ Kong's face slowly began to show a layer of frost, and the old Madam Wu sitting next to him, upon seeing the patriarch's expression, couldn't help but grow increasingly uneasy!
"It seems that our bride is so excited that she can hardly speak! Let's give the bride a mont to calm down."
The host suddenly said to the guests at the scene.
It must be said, the host had so skill, as his words dissipated much of the awkwardness.
Although everyone knew the reality was far from it, at least there was a way out, and it wasn't as embarrassing as before!
Damn girl!
Old Madam Wu cursed inwardly, her turbid eyes suddenly shooting a sharp and sinister light at Ye i!
Ye i, feeling the gaze, turned her head slightly and t Old Madam Wu's eyes, trembling all over!
She understood the aning behind that look in an instant—it was a warning!
Indeed, her mother was still in their hands; what power did she have to resist?
Forget it, things have gone this far, just accept it!
Ye i sighed deeply.
"I..."
Ye i began speaking, sounding lost, when she finally did, the people from both the Situ and the Wu Families breathed a sigh of relief!
But just at that mont, a faint voice rang out:
"If you're unwilling, why force yourself?"
The voice was calm and faint, not intentionally loud or emotionally charged, as if discussing a trivial matter, yet it was exceptionally clear!
The guests felt as if their ears were deceiving them; how could soone dare to be so bold?
So that one sentence brought silence to the entire room!
For a mont, not a sound was heard, and the atmosphere grew eerily quiet!
All eyes involuntarily started searching for the source of that voice, including those from the Situ and Wu Families, and even Ye i, who had been so distraught monts before!
She had not expected soone to speak up for her at this ti!
While everyone's gazes scoured the room, a figure slowly stood up from a corner table, appearing as unfazed as ever!
At this ti, those around that figure were already dumbfounded because they knew before anyone else who had spoken those words!
Under the watchful eyes of all, the rather thin figure walked out from the seat, stepped onto the extending joyous stage, and walked towards its center, step by step.
"Who's this bastard causing trouble at my Situ family's wedding?"
Situ Ping suddenly shouted, his face covered in dark clouds!
The figure paid no attention to Situ Ping, proceeding straight to the center of the stage, and then turned his gaze to the table closest to the stage where Situ Kong and Old Madam Wu were seated.
"A lon forced from the vine isn't sweet."
The figure shook his head lightly as he spoke.
At the end of his words, everyone was stunned once again, involuntarily gasping in shock!
