Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Shen Yi Is Very Nervous
Shen Yi was also very nervous.
His eyes looked calm, but his palms were covered in sweat. After running into Shen Feng earlier, he knew the man hadn’t given up on Jiao Jiao. Perhaps in the future, there would be a second Shen Feng, and a third.
In this life, Jiao Jiao was even more exceptional and radiant, making her all the more captivating. freёwebnoѵel.com
That’s why he had to work hard. He had to protect Jiao Jiao, do everything in his power to treat her well, make up for the regrets of his past life, and treasure this hard-won second marriage.
The aisle seemed long, but they walked it in no time. When Qin Zhonghui placed his daughter’s hand in Shen Yi’s, his nervousness and panic vanished, leaving only a profound unwillingness to let his daughter go.
"Xiao Yi, from now on, you have to treat our Xiao Jiao well."
"Yes, I will, Dad."
Qin Jiao and Shen Yi’s hands were clasped tightly together. Qin Zhonghui rubbed his misty eyes, turned, and stepped off the stage to return to the head table.
At this table were Mr. Du, the siblings Zheng Duo and Zheng Zhuli, and Qin Zhonghui’s family of three. Four empty seats were reserved for the two newlywed couples.
Notably, Shen Zhengfeng was not seated at this table.
The emcee began the ceremony, spouting one charming phrase after another. Shen Yi was still holding Qin Jiao’s hand. She whispered, "Shen Yi, are you nervous? Why are your palms so sweaty?"
Shen Yi readily admitted, "Yeah, I’m nervous. My heart is pounding. I’m worried someone will suddenly crash the wedding and steal you away. I’m worried you’ll suddenly change your mind. But most of all, I’m worried this is all a dream—that the scene will shift at any moment and I’ll wake up alone, with you nowhere to be found."
Qin Jiao raised her eyebrows, surprised that Shen Yi was so insecure.
Shen Yi gave her a slightly plaintive look. "You’re so calm."
"Of course. It’s not my first time, after all. And who knows, there might be more to come."
Shen Yi gritted his teeth. "Jiao Jiao, can you not? Please? No matter what, today is our wedding day..."
Jiao Jiao fell silent.
Fortunately, the emcee had just finished his speech. The two couples exchanged rings, and with that, the ceremony was complete.
However, just as both couples finished exchanging rings, someone in the audience shouted, "Kiss!" Everyone immediately joined in, chanting loudly and insistently, "Kiss! Kiss!"
Du Liya and Beidou were quite open about it. They simply embraced and shared a kiss.
Things didn’t go as smoothly for the other young couple, however.
Qin Zhonghui and Su Yun instantly grew tense. ’How can they kiss? The two of them are in a fake marriage! But if they don’t, Shen Zhengfeng is sitting right there in the audience...’
Du Liya was a little worried too. She turned, wanting to say something to smooth things over for the young couple. She knew they would eventually be a real couple, but she figured they must be feeling shy right now.
Shen Yi’s palms started sweating again. He lowered his gaze to Qin Jiao and whispered, "Jiao Jiao, can we kiss?"
He had stolen a kiss before and had faced the consequences. Now, Shen Yi was being exceptionally cautious, not wanting to do anything that might upset Qin Jiao.
This was despite the fact that, deep down, he’d been wanting to pin her to a bed and kiss her for a long time.
Her gaze swept over the audience, and she saw that Shen Zhengfeng, Li Xiaomei, and the others were indeed watching them. They were probably trying to see whether their marriage was fake or not.
After a moment’s thought, she suddenly rose onto her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around Shen Yi’s neck. Shen Yi’s reaction was even quicker; he instantly understood her plan and bent down, and kissed her.
