Chapter 519: Chapter 523: We Are Childhood Sweethearts, Innocent of the Ways of the World!
Being questioned by Xing Chen like this made Ran Xiangsi feel a bit panicked, she shook her head, her tone no longer as intense as before.
"I just want to know, what is the reason for you marrying her? Is it because you love her, or did she use some kind of threat on you?"
Ran Xiangsi is different from those timid people in the audience; she is on equal footing with Xing Chen, she does not fear offending him.
Moreover, she must get the answer to this question today.
Perhaps, she will regain her love for him, or maybe, this will be the watershed moment of their lives.
As soon as Ran Xiangsi’s words were spoken, everyone present instantly fell silent, every single person waiting for Xing Chen’s response.
Did they hear correctly? Xing Chen’s wedding might have involved threats?
My God! Is there anyone in A City who can threaten Xing Chen?
Could it be... it was the Lou Family’s doing?
If that’s the case, then Lou Zhaonian is indeed capable, to be able to threaten Xing Chen! Impressive!
This time, Lou Xinyu couldn’t wait for Xing Chen to speak, she hurriedly screamed, "Crazy woman, what are you talking about! Brother William married me because he loves me! Why would I threaten him? We’ve been childhood sweethearts, innocent playmates! How can someone like you destroy such a relationship?"
Ran Xiangsi was jolted by those words about childhood sweethearts, innocent playmates.
Yes, she had been absent from Xing Chen’s life for so many years, it was Lou Xinyu who accompanied him all those days.
So... Ran Xiangsi turned back and looked at Xing Chen, "Did you marry her because you were threatened?"
Saying this sentence, Ran Xiangsi didn’t know how much courage she had mustered!
She thought Xing Chen wouldn’t answer her, just like moments before, keeping silent, which sometimes drove her angry!
She felt like punching him in the face!
But before that fantasy could end, she already heard Xing Chen’s gentle voice, light and airy, as if it could lift someone up to the heavens.
"No." He answered clearly, without any hesitation.
Upon hearing those two words, Ran Xiangsi was initially stunned, half a second later she came around, feeling a sharp pain in her heart again!
He said no? Not threatened, to marry Lou Xinyu?
Because of love?
Ran Xiangsi never thought that just these two simple words could feel like a thousand arrows piercing her heart...
Her body shook violently, she could barely stand!
She didn’t know if others saw her trembling from Xing Chen’s words, she instinctively tried to stand firm again, but felt it was all spinning around!
The guests below the stage were much more relaxed, starting to chat leisurely again.
"I told you, who can threaten Xing Chen? This young lady is so pretty, how come she learned to sabotage someone else’s wedding?"
"People say Xing Chen isn’t close to women, but I see he isn’t lacking in romantic luck at all!"
Fu Jingxuan didn’t miss Ran Xiangsi’s suddenly pale face, he felt sorry for her, couldn’t help but to stand up and speak for her.
Once he started, he directly targeted Xing Chen.
"Are you even a man? Xiangsi is such a good girl, why do you hurt her like this? Don’t think I don’t know, you tricked her into marriage back then, and told quite a few people that you were secretly married! But now? How is this any different from a fraudulent marriage? You’re shameless!"
It is rare to have such a good occasion today, just say everything that’s been hidden clearly!
