"Run!"
"Liu Li, I can’t run anymore." Su Ruoxi was panting heavily, feeling more exhausted than ever before.
"Do you want to die?" Leng Liuli dragged her, hissing fiercely, "If you want to die, don’t drag down with you."
As noise ca from behind, Su Ruoxi found the strength to flee again. She didn’t want to die; Junxuan was waiting for her, she must not die.
"Bang!" Another gunshot, and this ti they weren’t so lucky; Su Ruoxi, lagging a step behind, was shot in the leg.
"Ah!" Su Ruoxi scread in agony, tripping over, and since her hand was holding Leng Liuli’s, the inertia made Leng Liuli stumble as well.
The bandits quickly caught up, and it was then that Leng Junxuan appeared, firing his gun just in ti to take one of them down.
"Junxuan!" Su Ruoxi’s eyes lit up with hope and she heaved a sigh of relief, but she didn’t notice that the greater danger was still behind her.
"Stop right there." The bandit leader held a gun at Su Ruoxi and Leng Liuli’s heads, his voice laced with malice.
"What do you want?" Leng Junxuan, also holding a gun, aid at Liu Quan, "Let them go, you can’t escape. Give up now and you might have a chance to repent."
But Liu Quan didn’t care about Leng Junxuan’s threats; he never intended to live after what he’d done today: "Leng Junxuan, one is your dear sister, the other your woman, make your choice. Who lives? Who dies?"
"Let them go, take as your hostage." Leng Junxuan put down his gun, signaling his sincerity.
Liu Quan shook his head, sneering: "No, I don’t want your life, I want you to choose. After all, only one of these won can live today, if you don’t choose, then both of them die."
"Kill and let Liu Li go," Su Ruoxi roared, "Junxuan, don’t worry about , save Liu Li."
"I..." Leng Junxuan’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, hesitating, not knowing what to say.
"Junxuan, rember I will always love you, take care of my mom and brother for ," Su Ruoxi said as if she was leaving her last words.
"Xixi..." Leng Junxuan murmured, in intense anguish.
"Shut up." Liu Quan barked, "I’ll count to ten, and if you don’t choose, then I will make the choice for you."
"Ten..."
The twist happened at that mont; in a flash, Leng Liuli turned and grabbed Liu Quan’s right hand, while with her foot, she kicked away the pistol pointed at Su Ruoxi.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
One shot was Liu Quan’s gun firing into the air, the other was Leng Junxuan gunning him down.
"Do you realize how dangerous that was!" Leng Junxuan scolded Leng Liuli, disapproving of her recent actions.
Leng Liuli coldly retorted, "All I know is that you were clueless, and I broke the standoff."
"You..." Leng Junxuan was left speechless.
Leng Liuli continued to stare at him emotionlessly, her eyes filled with disappointnt: "Brother, this is not like you. It was just a petty bandit, and you could have resolved this situation. I don’t understand why you panic whenever she’s involved."
"Liu Li, he did that for our safety too. In such a dangerous situation, what else could he have done? And in the end, Junxuan did kill the bandit, didn’t he? Aren’t we all right now?" Su Ruoxi defended Leng Junxuan.
Leng Liuli couldn’t be bothered to argue with her; if it wasn’t for her series of actions today, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a passive situation.
"Brother, you really should take care of yourself." Leng Liuli said this and then proceeded to leave.
"Junxuan, be careful." Su Ruoxi inadvertently saw sothing flash before her eyes and instinctively threw herself onto Leng Junxuan, but her action left Leng Liuli with no ti to react, and she, standing beside them, was also brought down.
"Bang!"
Leng Liuli found herself forced to the front, watching helplessly as the bullet passed through her chest.
"Liu Li." In a daze, Leng Liuli heard that silly woman’s shout again. Did she really have a feud with her?
"Mr. Ye Qiu, no matter whether in good tis or bad, in poverty or wealth, in sickness or in health, in joy or in sorrow, do you vow to love, care for, and protect your wife for the rest of your life, never to part till death do you part?"
"I do!"
"Miss Zhong iying, no matter whether in good tis or bad, in poverty or wealth, in sickness or in health, in joy or in sorrow, do you vow to love, care for, and protect your husband for the rest of your life, never to part till death do you part?"
"I do!"
"Please exchange wedding rings now, bride and groom."
Ye Qiu and Zhong iying exchanged wedding rings under the watchful eyes of family and friends, their faces brimming with happiness.
"I now pronounce you, Mr. Ye Qiu and Miss Zhong iying, husband and wife. Mr. Ye Qiu, you may now kiss your bride."
Ye Qiu gently kissed Zhong iying’s lips, whispering beside her mouth, "Yingying, we’re finally married."
Zhong iying slowly opened her eyes, looked at the perfect man before her, and from now on, he was her husband. She thought, perhaps she was now the happiest woman in the world!
"Congratulations to you both!" Leng Junxuan said as he approached, holding Su Ruoxi’s hand to extend their well-wishes.
"Thank you!" Ye Qiu expressed his gratitude with a smile, "I wonder when we can drink to your wedding."
Hearing Ye Qiu say this, both instinctively looked in the direction of the Leng Family. Ever since Leng Liuli took a bullet, the Leng Family had grown colder towards Su Ruoxi, and even Leng Junxuan lost the favorable treatnt he once had. All resources of the Leng Family were now inclined towards Leng Haoxuan. General Leng even declared that if Leng Junxuan continued obstinately, the Leng Family would not provide any further support to him.
But after everything that Leng Junxuan and Su Ruoxi had been through, how could they possibly break up?
"Soon, but we might not have a banquet. We’ll invite our friends to drink later," Leng Junxuan said indifferently, his face showed signs of fatigue, but seeing Su Ruoxi by his side, he regained his strength. A montary obstacle was nothing; he would make everyone know that even without his family’s support, he could still gain others’ recognition.
When Leng Junxuan said soon, he wasn’t just placating Ye Qiu. He and Su Ruoxi did indeed register for marriage soon after, but they didn’t have a wedding. The only celebration was a dinner with just the two of them, Mr. Leng, Mrs. Su, and Brother Su.
"This is a gesture of our good wishes from your mother and ," sighed Mr. Leng. "Ruoxi, Junxuan’s mother is just being shortsighted, don’t mind her. Now that you two are married, live well from now on."
"Thank you, Dad." Su Ruoxi forced a smile, her heart heavy with sadness. She thought of the lavish wedding Ye Qiu had with Zhong iying not long ago, while she couldn’t gain recognition from the Leng Family, and even their simple al felt so bleak. She used to think that as long as two people loved each other, they could overco anything, but now she still felt so cold. Why was there such a big gap between people?
"Xixi." Leng Junxuan looked at Su Ruoxi, his eyes filled with love and apology.
Su Ruoxi snapped back to reality, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart. It was a relief that Junxuan’s feelings for her remained unchanged.
