Chapter 638: 567 Wedding Turmoil (2): Do You Want to Marry Me?
"I’m not here to catch the bouquet; I’m here for the groom."
Lu Xiaoer walked up to Zhongli Wuzhi, her gaze firmly locked onto him...
Zhongli Wuzhi’s absent eyes suddenly brimmed with life, his pupils shone brightly, unbelievingly staring at the woman before him.
She wore a loose-fitting white shirt, its wide collar not revealing too much, only exposing her beautiful, sexy clavicle, and around her neck hung one of the necklaces Zhongli Wuzhi had given her, where the moon accompanied the stars.
With lantern sleeves that came down to her forearm, her slim arms hung at her sides, her right hand adorned with a bracelet from the moon and stars collection that matched the necklace.
On her legs, she wore cropped skinny jeans and stepped into a pair of summer high-heels, and on her ankle appeared a tattoo, new at some point, located just below and to the left of her right heel.
Her hair was casually tied up, revealing a high and broad forehead, gleaming clean.
Her eyes and brows were sharp, her demeanor exceptional, standing there in front of the groom, not at all overwhelmed by the situation.
In Lu Xiaoer’s eyes... she saw only Zhongli Wuzhi.
"Xiaoer..."
It took a long while for Zhongli Wuzhi to emerge from his stunned disbelief, his throat dry, and the name uttered from his lips was so cautious it was heartbreaking.
That sort of voice that was so quiet for fear she wouldn’t hear, yet loud enough that it might scare her away... that sort of cautiousness.
"Zhongli Wuzhi, what exactly do you mean by this?"
Lu Xiaoer suddenly crossed her arms, the heels she wore hardly made her much shorter than Zhongli Wuzhi, she lifted her chin, and her brows arched.
"Ah?"
Zhongli Wuzhi was caught off guard by the question, and his response was awkward.
"Who was the one who swore up and down they would marry me, promised to give me a warm home filled with love! What does marrying someone else mean now?"
"..."
Zhongli Wuzhi felt his throat grow even drier.
Her direct gaze and two challenging questions already set the guests abuzz, whispering to one another in surprise and astonishment, yet also with an odd sense of anticipation for the drama unfolding.
"Um... Miss, excuse me, this is the wedding ceremony of Mr. Zhongli Wuzhi and Her Highness the Seventh Princess Chinian of M country. If the lady has some personal issue with the groom, please—"
"What the host is trying to say is... I’m interrupting your wedding."
Lu Xiaoer’s gaze remained fixed on Zhongli Wuzhi.
"No, not at all!"
Zhongli Wuzhi hastily interjected.
This left the host extremely embarrassed, uncertain of what to do next, and his eyes immediately sought help from the parents of both parties and... the presidential couple seated in the first row of the banquet.
Zhongli Yuting hurriedly waved at the host, beckoning him over. The host quickly approached Mr. and Mrs. Zhongli Yuting and bent down to listen as Zhongli Yuting whispered something into his ear.
Afterward, the host wore a look of shock, nodding somewhat dazedly before he moved aside to wait, not returning to the stage.
This action left King Qing Lin, who had just taken his seat, very puzzled, and he immediately asked Mr. Zhongli,
"Mr. Zhongli, I don’t understand what is happening. I didn’t catch any of that."
"Your Majesty is unaware, this girl who rushed the stage is the daughter of an old acquaintance of mine; her name is Lu Xiaoer."
"She is Lu Xiaoer?"
The King’s eyes narrowed.
"Yes, this girl was dating Ah Zhi before, and their relationship was always very good, but then they broke up over some trivial issues, quite unpleasantly."
"But this is my Princess’s wedding, and no one is allowed to cause a commotion, no matter who they are!"
The King of Qing Lin said so, seemingly ready to take action.
"Your Majesty, this Lu Xiaoer’s father is a lunatic. If today I take strong measures to stop this Lu Xiaoer, or forcibly block her, and later she complains to her father, he will certainly come after me."
"..."
The King of Qing Lin frowned slightly, seeming not to grasp the point.
"I told you, her father is a lunatic and completely dotes on his daughter. He made a scene when Zhongli Wuzhi and Lu Xiaoer broke up, which became well-known throughout the city, and he even spread rumors that my son had wronged his daughter."
"Your Majesty, please be patient and see what these young people will do. She merely interrupted the ceremony to speak a few words; what more can she do?"
The King of Qing Lin looked at Zhongli Yuting with an expression that was far from pleased.
He took a deep breath,
"So you just let them carry on like this!"
