On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!

Su Chenxi looked away, her heart pounding. She didn't want to meet him in this kind of situation.

He saved her life while she was studying in country D, and she also had feelings for him.

But now that she's the second young mistress of the Shen family, how can she possibly show her face in front of her?

"Push me up to the second floor," Shen Yanchuan said.

Zhou Youchen pushed him toward the elevator. The manor was magnificent, combining Western solemnity with Eastern grandeur. The wedding had not yet started, and the guests were chatting and laughing together, while the waiters were serving them attentively.

The second-floor balcony was a relatively quiet place. Standing there, Su Chenxi could see the guests below. She saw her stepfather, Jiang Liguo, and her mother. She said to Shen Yanchuan, "Can I go down and talk to my mom for a bit?"

Shen Yanchuan nodded.

Su Chenxi carried her dress downstairs. When she appeared on the lawn below, Shen Yanchuan on the second floor couldn't help but look at her. In the sunlight, Su Chenxi's figure was particularly eye-catching. The wind blew on her, and her flowing skirt and her smooth long hair made her look as charming as an elf.

Su Chenxi was about to walk towards her mother when suddenly, a voice called out to her.

"Dawn".

Su Chenxi stopped in her tracks, then turned around in surprise and looked irresistibly at the gentle man walking towards her.

Gu Heting.

"Young Master Gu." Su Chenxi greeted him shyly, tucking a stray hair behind her ear.

When you're in front of someone you like, you can't control many emotions, such as shy glances, nervous little movements, and hesitant expressions.

Su Chenxi's appearance at this moment was clearly seen by the man on the second floor.

"I heard you married the second young master of the Shen family without even informing me. I could have congratulated you." Gu Heting's gaze fell on her, his eyes filled with a hint of disappointment and regret.

Su Chenxi looked up and met his gaze. Her nose stung, and a strange sense of grievance welled up inside her. She knew that Gu Heting also had feelings for her, but in the end, they were not destined to be together.

"I'm sorry, I... I forgot to tell you." Su Chenxi pursed her red lips, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Gu Heting took a step closer to her. "Are you alright?"

Su Chenxi pursed her red lips. This gentle concern only stirred up the grievances in her heart, making her want to cry. She forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

Just then, a waiter was walking too fast and was about to bump into her. Gu Heting hurriedly called out, "Watch out!"

As he finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her into his embrace.

Su Chenxi lost her balance and fell into his arms, her hands clinging to his shoulders, pressing intimately together.

The waiter apologized, but the two seemed not to hear him, their eyes fixed on each other, lost in the moment.

A dozen seconds later, Su Chenxi shyly stepped back and said, "Thank you."

Gu Heting reluctantly let go of her, "You're welcome."

On the second-floor balcony, Zhou Youchen couldn't help but chuckle. "The second young mistress has quite a wide network of connections; she even knows Gu Heting. They must be friends!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at his boss beside him.

But he saw that his boss's face was expressionless, but his aura was extremely low.

Hey! Second Young Mistress, even if you like Gu Heting, you should at least do it somewhere else! How could you flirt with him right under the Second Young Master's nose?

Su Chenxi and Gu Heting downstairs stared at each other, and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't help but look up at the second-floor balcony, where Shen Yanchuan was staring at her.

Although I couldn't see his eyes and expression clearly, the intimidating sense of oppression was very strong.

She quickly said to Gu Heting, "Excuse me, Young Master Gu, I need to go find someone first."

After saying that, she quickly walked towards her mother.

When Su Meifen saw her, she looked at her in surprise. Her daughter had been beautiful since she was a child, but she did not inherit her beauty. Instead, she inherited the bastard father who had bullied her back then.

Therefore, Su Meifen had been somewhat resistant to this daughter since she was a child. If it weren't for her responsibility as a mother, she would have abandoned her back then.

Now, she is glad she didn't abandon her, because the value of this daughter has become apparent.

"Mom," Su Chenxi called out.

Where is Yan Chuan?

"He's over there." Su Chenxi pointed to the second-floor balcony, but found that Shen Yanchuan was no longer there.

Su Meifen lowered her head and instructed, "Did you go and greet Grandma Shen?"

"not yet."

"Then hurry up and go find Old Mrs. Shen. Be sweet-talking and make her like you." After saying that, Su Meifen lowered her voice and said, "I heard she doesn't have long to live. She has shares in the Shen Group. Mom is hoping that you can get a share too."

Su Chenxi was stunned. Was Old Madam Shen's days numbered? She thought Shen Yanchuan must be very grieving!

"Go!" Su Meifen urged her to go find the old lady.

Su Chenxi nodded. She thought her mother had miscalculated. She and Shen Yanchuan were in a contract marriage, and whatever she took in the past year, she would have to return to the Shen family.

She walked through the lobby and went back to the second floor to look for Shen Yanchuan. After searching for a while, she finally found him in a quiet rest room.

The hustle and bustle and celebration outside seemed to have nothing to do with him; he sat there like a statue that showed no emotion.

"Do you know where Grandma is? Should we go say hello?" Su Chenxi asked him.

"Youchen, close the door," Shen Yanchuan said to his assistant.

Zhou Youchen glanced at Su Chenxi with sympathy, walked to the door, and closed it behind him after he left, while he himself stood outside as a bodyguard.

Inside the room, before Su Chenxi could react, the man on the sofa suddenly stood up and walked towards her.

Su Chenxi felt the oppressive aura emanating from him. She blinked and looked into a pair of angry black eyes.

Su Chenxi leaned against the wall, and the man placed one hand on her shoulder, looking down at her condescendingly.

"Young Master, please speak frankly," Su Chenxi said, swallowing hard.

Good heavens, he's so tall, almost a head taller than her.

"From now on, always remember that you are my wife. Stop flirting and being promiscuous outside. Behave yourself." The man's narrowed eyes carried a strong warning.

Su Chenxi knew what he was referring to; he had caught her encountering Gu Heting earlier.

But did this man really need to be so harsh and vicious?

"Okay, I understand. I promise I won't do it again." Su Chenxi had nothing better to explain, so she could only obediently promise.
