Chapter 167 "Your rescuer...is here."
Boss Lei slowly stood up and walked towards Shi Qingqian step by step.
His eyes were fixed on her beautiful face, and the possessiveness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He reached out and gently held Shi Qingqian's hand.
Shi Qingqian instinctively wanted to shake him off, with a look of disgust on her face.
However, the harder Boss Lei held her hand, the more it seemed as if she would disappear if he let go.
"Stop struggling, you are destined to be my bride today," Boss Lei's voice was low and domineering.
Shi Qingqian glared at him: "Let me go!"
Boss Lei turned a deaf ear to her. He held Shi Qingqian's hand tightly and walked out the door.
Shi Qingqian tried to resist, but her strength was insignificant in front of Boss Lei, and she could only be pulled by him.
They walked out of the room and the noise outside became clearer.
The red satin fluttered in the wind, and the festive atmosphere formed a sharp contrast with Shi Qingqian's calm face.
Boss Lei held his head high and chest out, as if showing his trophies to everyone.
Boss Lei took Shi Qingqian out of the room. The busy men in the yard stopped their work instantly and all their eyes were focused on them.
A few clever men immediately started to make a fuss.
"The boss is the boss. This bride is absolutely stunning. The boss is so capable!" A fawning subordinate said loudly, with a smile on his face that was so exaggerated that it was almost distorted.
"That's right. There's nothing that the boss can't accomplish when he takes action. This bride and the boss are simply a match made in heaven," another subordinate quickly agreed, his eyes full of flattery.
"Yes, Boss's happy event today is a big event in our area. With such a beautiful bride by his side, Boss will be even more powerful."
"Look at this bride. With her looks and temperament, only our boss can match her."
Everyone was talking at once, and all kinds of flattery could be heard.
When Boss Lei heard these words, a smug look appeared on his face and he raised his chin slightly, as if he was enjoying everyone's praise.
Shi Qingqian's face was gloomy. She looked at these flatterers with disgust, her heart filled with anger and helplessness. She felt like an object on display, being judged at will by these people.
Amidst all the noise, the festive atmosphere seemed even stronger.
"It's almost time, let's get started."
At Boss Lei's command, his men immediately got busy.
Some people began to arrange the final decorations for the wedding venue, and someone went to notify the band to prepare to play music.
The whole yard was filled with a tense yet festive atmosphere.
Shi Qingqian's heart tightened and she looked towards the door inconspicuously.
Why haven't you come yet?
If you don’t come soon, your wife will really become someone else’s!
Shi Qingqian's heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. While trying to remain calm on the surface, she kept calling Xu Huaian's name in her heart.
His eyes glanced around from time to time.
The band began to play cheerful music, but to Shi Qingqian the sound sounded like a death curse.
Boss Lei stood beside Shi Qingqian, his arm around her waist, a smug smile on his face.
When Shi Qingqian was hugged by Boss Lei around the waist, her body stiffened instinctively, and the disgust in her heart became even stronger. She took a step away and broke free from his hand.
Perhaps because he was in a really good mood, or perhaps because he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his subordinates, Boss Lei was not angry and still had a smile on his face.
Boss Lei raised the corners of his mouth and reached out to pick up two glasses of wine from the table. The glasses were crystal clear and sparkled in the sunlight.
He stuffed one of the cups steadily into Shi Qingqian's hand, and his fingers accidentally touched Shi Qingqian's skin, making her frown slightly.
"Come, today is our big day, let's celebrate with everyone," Boss Lei's voice was loud and majestic. He raised the wine glass in his hand and glanced at the people around him.
The wine in the glass swayed slightly, exuding a mellow aroma.
Shi Qingqian looked at the wine glass in her hand, her heart full of resistance. She held the glass tightly, and her fingers turned slightly white from the force.
Boss Lei looked at everyone and said loudly, "Today, Qing Qian and I are happily married. Let's drink together to witness this moment."
Everyone raised their glasses, their faces filled with smiles, and shouted in unison: "Congratulations, Boss! I wish you and your wife a long and happy marriage and a son soon."
Everyone cheered and drank the wine in their hands.
Some of his men began to applaud and cheer, and the applause was like thunder, echoing in the yard.
The band's performance became more passionate, and the cheerful melody filled the entire space.
The red silk danced more passionately in the wind, and the big red lanterns seemed to be shining brightly for this "happy event".
Several lively subordinates began to dance happily around Boss Lei and Shi Qingqian. Their faces were filled with exaggerated smiles. Although their movements were a bit funny, they added more festive atmosphere to the lively scene.
Some people began to clink glasses with each other, chatting and laughing, their words full of flattery for Boss Lei and praise for the wedding.
The whole yard was filled with laughter, music and the sound of clinking glasses, and it was very lively.
Shi Qingqian turned her head to look at Boss Lei, but saw a smile hidden in his eyes.
At this time, Boss Lei also turned his head slightly, and his eyes met Shi Qingqian's.
Shi Qingqian quickly looked away, not wanting to meet his gaze, but Boss Lei stared at her intently.
Then, Boss Lei's eyes fell on the untouched glass of wine in Shi Qingqian's hand.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
He stretched out his slender fingers and gently took the wine glass from Shi Qingqian's hand. Shi Qingqian instinctively wanted to hold the glass tightly, but under the dominance of Boss Lei, she could only let go helplessly.
Boss Lei placed Shi Qingqian's wine glass together with his own glass of wine, which had also remained untouched.
His movements were graceful and deliberate, as if he were performing a ritual.
The two exquisite wine glasses stood side by side, and the wine sparkled slightly in the sunlight.
Boss Lei slowly raised his hand and gently stroked Shi Qingqian's face.
There was a complex emotion in Boss Lei's eyes, including pride, regret, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness.
"You are so beautiful," Boss Lei said softly, with a hint of charm in his voice, "so beautiful that I can't bear to destroy it."
"It's a pity that I didn't meet you earlier. If I had met you earlier, I would have kept you by my side forever, no matter what means I had to use."
Shi Qingqian frowned slightly. For some reason, she always felt that there was something else behind his words.
Before she could ask, Boss Lei suddenly pulled out a pistol from behind and put it against her temple.
"Your rescuer...is here."
