Chapter 918: Chapter 918: Thankfully, Thankfully...

Chen Ming still trusts them, and after looking around, he closes the trunk: "Alright, let’s go in! Just be careful. This thing is quite powerful and fierce. I’ve only played with it a few times."

He looks at it eagerly, and Gu Anxi pats his shoulder: "I’ll send you a few later, so you can have a blast at the shooting range."

Chen Ming’s eyes immediately light up, and he gestures grandly: "Hurry inside."

Gu Anxi responds with a hum and goes in with Bo Xichen.

Lin Hua and King Jingyao, along with both sets of parents, are already inside. Lin Hua has changed into her wedding dress, looking stunning, and Gu Anxi can’t stop exclaiming: "So beautiful."

Lin Hua smiles and says thank you.

King Jingyao gives a light snort: "You’re sleeping late again; why don’t you hurry and change your clothes? Look at the time."

"It’s a miracle I even got up." Gu Anxi complains: "I’ve sacrificed my baby-making time for you, so be grateful."

King Jingyao: ...

The elders all laugh.

Old Wang helplessly asks Bo Xichen: "Is she always this direct?"

Bo Xichen clears his throat: "I’m the one who’s more direct."

Gu Anxi makes a face and pulls him along to change outfits.

Once they’ve left, King Jingyao says: "Look, look, all day long just trying to annoy me."

Lin Hua smiles politely.

King Jingyao looks at her.

He’s content, but content yet somewhat unsatisfied. Even knowing her reasons for marrying him, he still pretends everything is normal, pretends she’s still waiting for him.

But pretending is just pretending; even at their best times, Lin Hua still holds back. That’s when he can’t help but remember she’s not the same as before, and having liked someone else means she can’t forget that person.

Feng Sheng is like a thorn in Lin Hua’s heart. If he were alive, he could still compete, but since he’s not, there’s a sense of helplessness.

King Jingyao is a mature man and naturally doesn’t show any inappropriate behavior, still full of laughter and chatter.

Lin Hua is equally gentle and charming. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

She hasn’t mentioned avenging Feng Sheng again, but she knows King Jingyao has quietly sent people to handle it. She doesn’t interfere, because this touches on the bottom line of their marriage, and his silence doesn’t mean he doesn’t care.

It’s safe to say that both are quite intelligent...

Amidst all the laughter and chatter, Gu Anxi and Bo Xichen walk out.

In that moment, everything around falls silent.

One is young and handsome, the other a beautiful young lady.

Old Wang looks at his wife with reproach: "Look, look, couldn’t we have found someone a little less good-looking?"

Lin Hua smiles, "Are you really comparing yourself with young people?"

Just after saying this, Old Wang glances at her and silently smiles.

Lin Hua immediately feels a little awkward, "Jingyao!"

He pats his wife’s hand: "Alright, alright. Let’s not fuss over it. It’s your decision, and I’m just going along."

Anyway, he still doesn’t really care for that brat.

Though, when she came out just now, he had this feeling like a father marrying off his daughter, even his nose tingled a bit.

Ah, he had forgotten he’s the one who’s actually getting married today.

At this moment, Gu Anxi and Bo Xichen come over together, the grandmother and Lin’s mother each give a big red envelope, say a few more words, and then prepare to head to the Wang Family’s old residence together.

The grandmother is very traditional, and with Jingyao’s marriage, it’s necessary for him to pass through the Wang Family gate to truly go down the right path. So, the family will celebrate at the old residence in the afternoon, and then have a grand banquet at the hotel in the evening...

The group gets into the cars under Chen Ming’s protection, the elders in one, King Jingyao and Lin Hua in another, while Gu Anxi hops into Bo Xichen’s car.

Once in the car, she immediately takes off her shoes, quietly complaining: "These high heels are so uncomfortable."

Bo Xichen chuckles: "Endure it for a day, consider it a rehearsal for the wedding."

She looks at him and curls her lips, "Xichen, are you looking forward to getting married?"

Bo Xichen smiles: "It’s alright."

"You’ve been an old couple for so long, and you’re still looking forward to it?" She mutters quietly: "Xichen, you have such a romantic heart."

"No," Bo Xichen turns his head, smiles: "Isn’t it supposed to have some ritual feeling?"

He’s considered an old-fashioned man, living life with a woman should follow the proper steps, not lacking even if done in reverse...

Gu Anxi makes a face, leans back comfortably, then closes her eyes: "I’m going to nap for a bit."

She complains again: "Old men are terrifying."

"Hmm?" His voice is gentle yet slightly amused: "Gu Anxi, I’m only twenty-nine, not even thirty yet."

She makes another face at him.

Bo Xichen is in a good mood and smiles slightly...

Gu Anxi looks at the car in front suddenly says: "I wonder how’s their relationship, Xichen. I always feel Feng Sheng will be a problem between them."

Bo Xichen turns his head: "Why do you think that?"

"I don’t know, just a feeling." The little darling says very sweetly, then starts laughing herself: "Old Wang is just jealous, probably holding it in."

Bo Xichen drives steadily, then says: "I’ve heard that to marry Lin Hua, Mr. Wang has paid quite a bit behind the scenes. It’s like a fit of rage for a beauty..."

As soon as he finishes speaking, he suddenly slams on the brakes.

Gu Anxi rushed forward, paused, and asked, "What’s wrong, uncle?"

This was too surreal.

Bo Xichen locked the car, turned his head to look at her, and said, "Stay in the car, don’t move. I’m going to help."

"Uncle."

Gu Anxi held onto his hand, "We agreed last time, we’ll face it together."

Bo Xichen looked at her quietly for two seconds, "Okay."

"You go right, I’ll go left. In a moment, grab the weapons from the trunk and surround them." Bo Xichen paused before speaking, "Protecting Mr. Wang is the most important."

Gu Anxi grabbed his hand again, "Uncle. To me, you’re the most important."

He smiled faintly, squeezed her hand, "I know."

To him, she was also the most important.

Both of them had great skills, they quickly got out of the car, took guns out of the trunk, and crouched forward.

Ahead, Chen Ming and his brothers were grinding their teeth: "These bastards. They pick now to come."

He squinted, they even brought these weapons over, what he had couldn’t block them.

Chen Ming was cursing, but his heart felt chilled—

Today, he feared he might not make it.

He had already arranged it, no matter what, no matter how many have to be sacrificed, Mr. Wang’s safety must be ensured.

Chen Ming braced himself for what seemed certain death, when someone patted him from behind.

He turned his head to see Gu Anxi.

Chen Ming was both surprised and delighted, then felt a bit speechless.

Gu Anxi was wearing a strapless little dress, the skirt was short, could she really manage?

Probably noticing his doubt, Gu Anxi directly pulled at her dress, ripping it from the hem upwards, tearing off a section, revealing protective shorts underneath that could even be worn outside, turning it into a handy two-piece short outfit.

Chen Ming was stupefied.

She was really thin, her figure was fantastic.

"What are you thinking?" Gu Anxi tapped him, "Look ahead."

Chen Ming didn’t dare to slack off, he grasped his gun using the car as cover and fought fiercely with the enemy.

After a while, he said hoarsely, "Their firepower is too strong. This won’t work, Mr. Wang needs to leave first."

Gu Anxi pressed her lips together, "My uncle and I will hold them here, Chen Ming, you and Mr. Wang leave first."

"Precision." Chen Ming squinted his eyes and turned his head, "No, you two can’t hold them off."

Gu Anxi turned her head, "This is an order."

Chen Ming paused, murmuring, "You don’t have the authority to order me."

Gu Anxi softly said, "You must comply! Beicheng can be without the Bo Family, without Gu Anxi, but it absolutely cannot be without Wang Jingyao, understand?"

Chen Ming’s fingers tightened and loosened, then tightened again, finally speaking with a choked voice, "Yes."

He leaned over and said to Bo Xichen, "Professor Bo, I leave Anxi in your hands."

Bo Xichen nodded calmly, "Take Mr. Wang away first."

Chen Ming felt invigorated, he divided his men into two groups, left ten, took twenty, and slowly retreated, all the way to Wang Jingyao’s car.

Wang Jingyao lowered his car window, "How’s Chen Ming?"

"Not too well, Professor Bo and Anxi are holding the front. Now Mr. Wang must retrace his route back," Chen Ming said.

Wang Jingyao frowned, angered, "What does it mean for a young girl to be at the front while I, a grown man, hide behind her?"

He opened the car door, intending to get out, but Chen Ming blocked him.

Chen Ming spoke softly, "Anxi said Beicheng can be without the Bo Family, can be without her, but it cannot be without Mr. Wang. You should understand the weight of her words, Mr. Wang. To her, you have always been immensely important, don’t you understand that by now?"

Wang Jingyao was moved, his face nearly contorted, then his gaze fell fifty meters away.

Bo Xichen and Gu Anxi were leaning against the back of a car, battling fiercely with the enemy.

He didn’t know what kind of people they were dealing with, but it would definitely be investigated later, now at the cost of Chen Ming and all these brothers, as well as him and Lin Hua... and Beicheng.

Wang Jingyao’s facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, his eyes became moist.

After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence, "If she doesn’t come back, I won’t forgive her."

Chen Ming solemnly said, "Anxi will definitely come back."

Wang Jingyao looked around and instructed Chen Ming, "Drive her car over, so if necessary, they can get in."

Chen Ming said, "Yes."

Later, under the cover of some team members, he crouched and drove the car to Bo Xichen and Gu Anxi’s rear, shouting, "Anxi, the car’s behind you, reinforcements are coming soon, if you can’t hold them, retreat in the car."

"Hurry up and leave." Gu Anxi’s voice roared.

Chen Ming had no choice but to immediately retreat.

By the time he reached Wang Jingyao, the old man and old lady’s car had already retreated, Lin Hua was also arranged to leave, but Wang Jingyao was the last one.

Chen Ming came over, Wang Jingyao glanced again in Gu Anxi’s direction, his thin lips pressed tightly, he said, "Get in the car."

Resolutely getting into the car, his eyes flashed with brightness.
