Chapter 675: Chapter 675: Holding Two for Three Years_1

After leaving Nan Feng, Xue Ling went to find an inn to stay at all by herself.

She was actually very vexed internally, and the words Nan Feng had said kept echoing in her mind: "Xue Ling, you’ve been so irresponsible."

The inn was particularly cold and desolate. The ordeal with the mountain bandits had just ended, and the economy of Provincial City hadn’t yet recovered, so fewer than two rooms out of ten were occupied in the inn.

She found herself missing Yu Peng a bit, as he would usually bring her breakfast at this time.

However, Xue Ling thought it was just dependence.

The more she depended on him, the less she could return, lest the dependence turn into a habit, and she could never leave him.

It would be better for everyone if she escaped earlier.

...

It was time for the wedding, and because the Matchmaker had run over in a panic, now many people knew that the bride was missing.

Yu Peng’s parents were frantically worried. They couldn’t understand why Xue Ling suddenly refused to marry, but they were even more upset for Yu Peng, "Peng’er, what do you plan to do without Xue Ling? Do you still want to continue with this wedding?"

"Father, Mother, the wedding will continue," Yu Peng was now completely exhausted, drained of all energy.

"But...how do we continue?" Yu Peng’s mother asked.

"Mother, all the relatives are here, and we have set up fifty tables. If we don’t continue, do we just let the relatives leave?" Yu Peng said.

Yu Peng’s mother sighed, "Then what about the wedding ceremony? What do we do without the bride?"

"We just skip the bride part. We’ll say she isn’t feeling well. Everyone already knows she ran away," Yu Peng, still able to talk, proved his inner strength.

"...."

In the Yu Residence, the sounds of drums and gongs still filled the air, giving off a festive atmosphere. Guests were filing in, soon filling up the courtyard.

However, almost everyone was keeping a tacit understanding. They ate and drank as they were supposed to, and no one specifically asked about the wedding ceremony.

Traditionally, the groom must come out to toast.

Yu Peng came out alone, toasting table after table, drinking every time someone toasted to him.

"Mr. Yu, here’s to you and your wife growing old together and having children soon!" the guests said.

"Thank you, thank you, definitely, definitely, I’ll drink to that," Yu Peng gulped down his drink.

"Mr. Yu, uh... may you hold one child in your arms within three years," another guest said.

"Thank you, definitely, definitely, I will drink to that," Yu Peng said again.

In the end, no one else dared to toast with Yu Peng. Each table only sent one representative.

Before the guests had even left, Yu Peng was already completely drunk. He was helped to his room by servants.

...

When Dragon III left his house that morning, he saw Xue Ling standing before him.

Nan Feng had told him about Xue Ling’s wedding day, and Dragon III had even arranged for the butler to send a gift. So why was she here now?

Dragon III’s eyebrows furrowed.

Xue Ling looked at Dragon III and gave him a smile, not saying much.

The reason she ran away from her wedding was that she couldn’t forget about Dragon III. Now that she had left, she should come to see him, just one last time, and never again after that.

But, when Xue Ling saw Dragon III again, her heart was surprisingly not pounding wildly as before.

"I heard you were getting married today," Dragon III said to Xue Ling, keeping a distance of one meter between them.

"I ran from my wedding," Xue Ling looked at Dragon III, her eyes filled with a trace of desolation.

She thought she could forget Dragon III, but seeing his cool demeanor, it seemed like she had returned to the state of constantly chasing after him.
