“Find some help and think of a way to get some brushes, paints, and a pair of scissors.” Du Jiuyuan was calm and unhurried.

Not long after, He Lili came back with the things being asked for.

Du Jiuyuan pulled a chair to the front of the wedding dress. She opened the paint box, adjusted the colors, and started to draw using the brushes.

He Lili did not stay idle either. She ran out to look for some rosin painting fluid.

The paint would not dry out so quickly, so she had to use the rosin to make the painting fluid and spray it on the painting. After a few minutes, it would dry out, ensuring that it would not change shape and could not be rubbed off.

Du Jiuyuan’s hand that was holding the brush moved quickly on the wedding dress. She did not notice that the lounge door behind her was ajar. A pair of eyes outside the door had been staring at her for an unknown amount of time.

Someone walked in toward the direction of the lounge. The man made a “Shh” gesture, indicating for the other party to not speak.

The other party understood and turned around to leave. He did not take another step forward.

The man looked at Du Jiuyuan a few more times, unsatisfied. The woman that Ji Jingchen had taken a fancy to was indeed not that simple. This was very fun!

...

The wedding started on time. Ji Jingchen held a bouquet of flowers in his hands and waited beside the emcee. After the emcee went through the basic procedures, he officially introduced the bride to the audience.

Tang Yingxue, who was sitting below, had a smile on her face. She was just waiting to see Du Jiuyuan make a fool of herself.

When the bride appeared, all the people in the banquet hall were covered in darkness. Only a single ray of light was reflected in the center of the stage and Pandora’s box-like door slowly opened.

The grand and luxurious skirt had been cut short by Du Jiuyuan. The part of her waist that was tucked in was handled quite skillfully. It was a very unique style.

Her ink-like hair was pulled up at this moment. Her light makeup was exquisite, and added a lot of mystery to it.

Not only Ji Jingchen, but even He Lili had never seen such a beautiful and dazzling Du Jiuyuan. Both of them were a little stunned for a moment.

Most of the guests below the stage applauded continuously, completely ignoring Du Jiuyuan’s background. Only Old Madam Ji gritted her teeth fiercely, while Tang Yingxue stared at Du Jiuyuan in disbelief.

She had clearly ruined the wedding dress and spilled red wine on it. How could Du Jiuyuan end up pulling this grand look?

In the face of everyone’s astonished gazes, Du Jiuyuan remained calm and collected. She glanced at Tang Yingxue with a provocative look in her eyes.

‘Did she know? Impossible, absolutely impossible!’ Tang Yingxue retracted her gaze, while her heart was uneasy.

Ji Jingchen came back to his senses after being reminded by Gu Xingchen, and walked towards Du Jiuyuan with a bouquet of flowers.

The bridesmaid was a relatively famous diva in the entertainment industry, as well as He Lili. The best man was the one and only, Gu Xingchen, and there was also the popular Lu Ziang of the entertainment industry.

Du Jiuyuan’s heart did not waver at all. This was the scene that she had always dreamed of.

Ji Jingchen placed the bouquet in Du Jiuyuan’s hand. Below the stage, Grandmother Ji shed two lines of tears and looked at the couple lovingly. Her gaze was filled with complicated emotions.

Du Jiuyuan turned her head to look at the old lady as she walked past, the corners of her mouth curled into a rare smile.

The two of them walked to the center of the stage and stood face to face. The emcee began the process of the wedding, and soon, the scene in front of everyone’s eyes began.

“Mr. Ji, do you take Miss Du Jiuyuan as your lawful wife? Regardless of poverty, wealth, illness, or health, would you never leave her and continue to be with her for the rest of your life?” The emcee asked Ji Jingchen.

“I do,” Ji Jingchen blurted out without thinking.

The emcee asked Du Jiuyuan next, “Miss Du, do you take Mr. Ji Jingchen as your lawful husband? Will you stay by his side for the rest of your life, in sickness or in health?”

A pin-drop silence followed. Du Jiuyuan did not speak for a long time.

Du Ling sat at the banquet table and watched Du Jiuyuan. Had Du Jiuyuan not repeatedly told her to just sit still and watch from below, she would have caused a huge ruckus long ago.

Seeing that it was time for Du Jiuyuan to take her vows, Du Ling felt that the chair under her butt was boiling hot, making her unable to sit still.

Under everyone’s gaze, Du Jiuyuan held the bouquet of flowers with both hands. Her expression was calm and unperturbed, completely devoid of the excitement and joy of being a bride.

The atmosphere suddenly got awkward. All the guests’ gazes were focused on Du Jiuyuan.

Ji Jingchen secretly felt that things were not looking good. Moments later, he heard the woman at the center of attention said loudly, “Unfortunately, I’m not willing.”

“Well done!” Du Ling stood up and clapped alone.

Du Jiuyuan broke off the engagement in public. Some people were happy while others were sad. Tang Yingxue, who was below the stage, almost cried out.

Even Lu Ziang, who had just changed his opinion of Du Jiuyuan, had a look of disbelief on his face.

Du Jiuyuan repeated it again. This time, she shouted out almost word by word, “I...am...not...willing...”

These four words were like four heavy bombs that exploded continuously at the wedding scene, catching everyone off guard.

The emcee stood on the stage and did not dare to speak.. Ji Jingchen’s face was dark, and he looked like he would explode at any moment.
