Deliberately Approaching-Chapter 576 - 538: Slip Away Early

Not too far away, Wang Junchen looked at Leng Lingxiao with disdain, "Hmph, dare to mistreat Tangtang and see what happens!"

Ye Wanhua smiled helplessly.

She believed it now; fathers truly were obsessed with their daughters, seeing every man as unworthy, no matter how excellent, for their precious girls.

The entire ceremony lasted about half an hour, solemn yet romantic.

Leng Lingxiao’s affectionate gaze had stayed on Tang Xiaowan the whole time, never leaving her even when answering the host’s various questions.

Someone even half-jokingly said, "If the ceremony doesn’t end soon, the groom might just pounce!"

An hour later, outside the VIP room door in country T, just as Tang Xiaowan was adjusting her toasting dress and marveling at the Duchess’s astounding capacity for liquor, Leng Lingxiao’s strong hand decisively led her away to the easternmost part of the first floor.

Cheng Shi and Wang Meijuan exchanged glances.

They had already toasted in the exclusive VIP rooms, and next would be the hall and garden.

"Shall we head to the hall now?"

She wondered whether to touch up her makeup first.

"No, let’s find a quiet place to catch our breath. Been smiling all day, isn’t it annoying?"

"Yeah, my face is about to freeze from smiling!"

"Ha ha, I knew it, come with me."

The wedding banquet was divided into three simultaneous areas: the VIP rooms, the self-service hall, and the garden barbecue.

Most young people who loved excitement and followed trends were keen on the garden, while older guests preferred the luxurious main hall.

Of course, there were also many who wandered back and forth.

Bai Long and his four capable right-hand men were among them, their target being Tang Xiaowan.

Unfortunately, they just couldn’t find an opportunity to strike.

Cheng Shi, straightforward as always, stayed close to Tang Xiaowan. He was so vigilant that not even engaging him in conversation was effective, and he wouldn’t even touch a cup of tea.

Bai Long knew Cheng Shi was a tough nut to crack and had even specially planned two schemes targeted at him.

Little did he know, Cheng Shi wouldn’t fall for them at all.

In the quiet third-floor hallway, Leng Lingxiao walked leisurely with Tang Xiaowan’s hand in his.

Tonight’s wedding guests were either on the first floor or in the garden. Some curious ones at most ventured to the second floor for a loop but very few made it to the third floor.

The bridal suite wasn’t for just anyone to visit. Leng Lingxiao wasn’t someone easy to mess with, so it was best to keep a respectful distance.

"Tangtang, are you happy?"

"You’ve asked eight times already!"

"Really? I don’t remember."

"Let’s go downstairs quickly; they’re going to be looking for us soon. There are so many people waiting."

"No rush, let’s rest for another half hour."

"Half an hour?"

Tang Xiaowan pouted and let go of Leng Lingxiao’s hand, thinking she needed to get downstairs quickly.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"To the first floor, it’s almost time for the toasting."

"The rest are all old friends. The elders can handle it. Let’s... rest a bit earlier."

The way he said "rest a bit earlier" was quite suggestive.

"No, Huahua, are you...?"

"Yes, I’m drunk."

Leng Lingxiao, grinning, scooped Tang Xiaowan up in his arms and strode into the bridal suite. Before she could react, he had her pinned on the festively decorated bed, kissing her passionately.

Love was released in the dim light.

The wild kiss made Tang Xiaowan’s limbs go weak, and her mind soon descended into chaos.

After a thrilling battle, Tang Xiaowan was completely spent. Leng Lingxiao held her in his arms, his pleasure peaking, his strong hand never intending to let her go.

How could he be drunk; he was very sober. No one would take her away from him.

"You really are a fierce big bad wolf!"

"Oh? Am I? How fierce? Am I frightening enough to make you tremble?"

"Not quite, but... still very fierce!"

Leng Lingxiao guessed she was probably replaying the moment in her mind, wondering how to handle things next.

"Actually, you could have been more straightforward to avoid any misunderstanding on my part. I thought you were complimenting me, very satisfied with my prowess."

Tang Xiaowan immediately blushed furiously.

But then she thought, this man she had admired since childhood, she couldn’t let anyone else snatch him away.

"If I ever have a baby, no matter how ugly I get, you can only love me in your heart. You can’t let any other messy women touch you, otherwise, I’ll cripple you and send you straight to Country T, where you’ll never be able to be a... man again."

Such a ferocious warning pleased Leng Lingxiao, who even felt a bit smug.

It was as though countless fireworks were exploding in his heart.

His mind was settled, his Little Wife truly loved him to the bone, Li Zishen was not a concern.

"Still laughing? Don’t think I won’t dare!"

"I definitely mean what I say. I have many flaws, but my memory is really good. I take things seriously and have already noted this in my heart."

"Pfft, definitely mean what I say."

"You too, you’re not allowed to have close contact with any man other than me. Keep a distance of one meter as the boundary. If anyone dares to cross it, I’ll cripple him right away."

Tang Xiaowan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this.

"One meter, isn’t that a bit... too..."

Suddenly, a kiss fell, Leng Lingxiao’s lips fiercely claimed hers, even more vigorously than before.

Cheng Shi, standing by the door, cleared his throat softly.

Looks like they’re not coming out!

Suddenly, a gentle voice came through the headset, "Hi, had a tough day, are you hungry?"

"Not hungry, I’m good."

"Really not hungry at all?"

"Not hungry, maybe I ate too much at noon. I’m still not digested yet, not hungry." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

His stomach shamefully growled twice, he was indeed hungry. Afraid that Bai Long’s people might interfere, he dared not even drink carelessly, let alone find a chance to eat something to fill his stomach.

"Ah, no good deed goes unpunished!"

At that moment, Cheng Shi saw Wang Meijuan approaching from the direction of the hall staircase.

She was carrying a tray full of food.

A feeling of joy suddenly surged up in Cheng Shi’s heart. He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, his stomach growing even hungrier.

"Meijuan, you, how did you get here?"

"Eating alone is no fun."

"Oh, in that case, let’s eat together."

Wang Meijuan smiled sweetly and promptly stuffed a piece of well-cut fillet steak into Cheng Shi’s mouth.

...

Meanwhile, brilliant golden flowers bloomed in the garden and instantly lit up the night sky, drawing cheers from the crowd each time the sparks flew.

"Wow, the fireworks, so beautiful!"

"I heard there would be, and here they are, lucky I didn’t go to the hall. Staying here was the right choice."

"Where did these people come from?"

"So cool, look at those muscles!"

Indeed, it was spectacular. The performers responsible for this spark show were meticulously selected from the mercenaries by Ding Hui, all with impressive physiques.

Ding Hui, mingling among the guests, was as alert as ever.

He dared not relax for a moment. The garden area was too rowdy; there could be no mistakes.

Why didn’t they send Ding Hui to the main building?

This was an intentional plan by Zhao Renjie after careful consideration, meant to mislead Bai Long into thinking that his four subordinates were well-hidden among the guests.

What exactly Bai Long’s group planned was unclear to him, but the target was easy to guess.

The four individuals, mimicking other guests, taking photos and attending the ceremony, but all the while their movements were dictated by the bride, Tang Xiaowan’s position, making their goal blatantly obvious.

Zhao Renjie unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and after taking a sip, he looked towards Li Zishen not far away.

Hmph, dreaming of targeting his wife!
