Chapter 694: Touched by Emotion

Book Chapter 694: Touched by Emotion (Update 2)

A certain hotel had been transformed into a grand banquet hall. Lin

The lighting was warm and stately, reminiscent of a palace.

Newlyweds in traditional Chinese wedding attire strolled along a red carpet embellished in gold and crimson.

Yet even though today’s couple shone like a radiant full moon,

when compared to the couple on the stage—glowing like the blazing sun and seemingly divinely paired—

they couldn’t help but pale in comparison…

Even if the couple intentionally dressed down to tone down their brilliance,

they remained the undeniable focal point of the celebration!

“Sis, how about we divorce tomorrow and remarry?”

Watching the newlyweds steadily approach, Xiao Yu kept a smile on his face.

“Don’t be cheeky…”

Mu Qingwu, unadorned yet graceful and striking, teasingly warned, “Watch it or you’ll get a beating when we get home!”

“As you wish…”

With a serious tone meant only for her ears, Xiao Yu said, “My little mom!”

“…”

Mu Qingwu’s face flushed a brilliant red as she tossed her hair and, in a soft yet commanding tone, retorted, “Get lost!”

“Hehe!” Xiao Yu chuckled with delight.

Teasing Mu Qingwu in front of everyone was simply thrilling.

After all, if a wife isn’t there to be teased, what’s the point of marriage?

At that moment, the new couple, Wang Cheng and Zhou Yanyu, stepped onto the stage…

“Respected leaders and dear friends, good afternoon.”

Grinning, Xiao Yu grabbed the microphone and announced to the guests below, “I’m your host for today’s wedding, Xiao Yu. Right beside me is my partner—oh no, my wife, Mu Qingwu. Both of us are hosting… I nearly forgot about my wife. I wonder if she’ll be taking a beating at home!”

Laughter rang out from the crowd as Mu Qingwu rolled her eyes.

“First, welcome to this beautiful hotel. On behalf of the general manager and all the staff, I extend our warm greetings and heartfelt blessings.”

Amid the laughter, Xiao Yu pointed to the new couple and said, “Secondly, congratulations to these two. After years of sending red envelopes to others, they finally get to reclaim their money. So, on behalf of the newlyweds, a word from the heart—please have your gifts ready!”

“Hahahaha!”

Laughter, applause, and whistles filled the banquet hall.

The once solemn hall had transformed into a sea of merriment.

A wedding, after all, is one of life’s greatest celebrations.

Isn’t joy meant to be shared and enjoyed?

“Be serious. What are you two laughing at?”

With a stern look, Xiao Yu addressed the grinning Wang Cheng and the quietly amused Zhou Yanyu, “Even though there have been rumors about your marriage, let me clarify—it’s true. So, are you ready?”

Wang Cheng and Zhou Yanyu exchanged a look before nodding firmly, “We’re ready!”

“Sis.”

Turning to Mu Qingwu with a mischievous grin, Xiao Yu added, “Now it’s your turn!”

Mu Qingwu: …

Where should I go? Up to heaven?

You infuriating little brother!

“Those who understand warmth, those who share joy, whose hearts are as vast as the sky and whose days are as long as the sun and moon.”

A clear, melodious voice resonated through the speakers, filling the hall.

With a cool, ethereal grace, Mu Qingwu softly intoned, “Time is our matchmaker and youth our betrothal. In bestowing my favor upon one, I promise to devote the rest of my life with generosity… On this beautiful, warm, and romantic day, we welcome the handsome Mr. Wang Cheng and the enchanting Miss Zhou Yanyu. Today, as you unite, all of us here will bear witness…”

“Ahem, my sister’s words are too poetic. In short,” Xiao Yu laughed, “just behave from now on!”

The wedding proceeded amidst waves of laughter.

Finally, Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu proclaimed together, “Let’s raise our glasses to toast this dragon-and-phoenix union. May your marriage be filled with joy, may you grow old together, and may your hearts remain forever united!”

……

Outside the hotel.

Two hands were tightly clasped together.

“Long time no see!”

Zhou Lie’s gaze was complex as he looked at the little brother before him.

“Yeah, it’s been a year.”

Overflowing with joy, Xiao Yu exclaimed, “What brings you to Bincheng?”

Even as he said that, a hint of unease stirred within him.

Wang Dong, who should have appeared as family, was absent.

Instead, Group Nine leader Zhou Lie had come. How unexpected!

Xiao Yu was extremely sensitive to these details.

“Honestly, the boss didn’t want me to mention this,”

Zhou Lie said with a puzzled look, “I thought it best to tell you in person.”

Xiao Yu: ???

“Damn, I almost wanted to curse,”

he muttered, “Could you not use such a terrifying tone?”

“Wang Dong…” Zhou Lie began, then hesitated.

Xiao Yu fell silent as his heart sank into an icy despair.

Isn’t it that my brother’s about to get slashed?

No, such a melodramatic twist only belongs in novels, right?

If some shameless author dared to kill someone close to the protagonist,

wouldn’t readers immediately start sending in razor blades and reporting leaks?

“Speak up,”

Xiao Yu glared at Zhou Lie, “Don’t dawdle.”

“He…”

Zhou Lie’s expression suddenly grew strange as he admitted, “His hemorrhoids flared up!”

“Damn…” Xiao Yu nearly fainted on the spot.

What a skillful yet exasperating remark.

You lowlife… Xiao Yu’s lips twitched as he looked at Zhou Lie’s bizarre, smiling face.

Those National Security guys really are despicable!

“No more teasing,”

Zhou Lie’s odd grin vanished as he continued, “His hemorrhoids really did flare up. He’s now hospitalized. So…”

“Stop talking. I need some peace,” Xiao Yu said, covering his head.

“I doubt you’re brave enough to enjoy peace,”

joked Zhou Lie in his straightforward manner, “Your sis will kill you!”

Agreeing silently, Xiao Yu shot Zhou Lie a sidelong glance, “You’re such a dog!”

“Aren’t you curious why Wang Dong’s hemorrhoids flared up?”

Zhou Lie looked meaningfully at the little brother.

Xiao Yu remained silent, his face as cold as frost, completely unyielding.

“You should have guessed by now,”

Zhou Lie pressed on, “Aren’t you curious?”

“Stop joking around,”

Xiao Yu shook his head, “National Security is none of my concern. I’m just a policeman now.”

“Damn, and he still puts on that act…” Zhou Lie nearly burst into laughter.

“The boss’s orders?”

Xiao Yu frowned, “Or orders from above?”

“Neither. It’s the decision of our Group Nine leaders,”

Zhou Lie shook his head, “If you don’t come back, we won’t interrupt you any further.”

Does justice truly stand a chance against the rules?

No, they plan to challenge them!

“Damn, a palace coup…” Xiao Yu was left utterly speechless.

How dare you all?

A warm surge of emotion suddenly filled him.

Damn, I’m actually touched. Now what?
