C12 Shackles

Shen Yulan, the chairman of Xia's Company and Xia Qian's stepmother, was looked down upon by some of the upper-class people. Gu Chengze would kill his wife! For the sake of the company's future, Shen Yulan did not even want her daughter's life!

However, Shen Yulan did not care about these rumors. She only wanted money and power!

Xia Yao saw Xia Qian wearing a wedding dress and smiling like a flower. There was unconcealed jealousy and hatred on her face.

Under the huge flower arch was the handsome Gu Chengze. He had a smile on his face. As he looked at the beautiful Xia Qian, he put a ring on her.

In an instant, everyone cheered.

"Now, the groom can kiss the bride. " The priest held the Bible and said to the newlyweds with sincere blessings.

Gu Chengze paused for a moment and slowly approached Xia Qian. The distance between the two gradually shortened. It was only when Gu Chengze's lips, which had a texture, touched Xia Qian's face that he stopped.

He paused for a few seconds and the cold lips left Xia Qian's fair and delicate face.

That kiss was as gentle as a dragonfly touching the water. It was as if he was protecting some fragile treasure.

But only Xia Qian knew how cold Gu Chengze's lips were.

Xia Qian worked hard to adjust the muscles on her face. She slightly lowered her head and shyly looked at Gu Chengze. Then she continued to smile.

Gu Chengze reached out his hand and hugged Xia Qian's smooth shoulder. He smiled like he had married the woman he loved.

"You did well. " When Gu Chengze helped Xia Qian off the stage, he whispered in her ear.

Xia Qian's footsteps paused for a moment. She opened her mouth slightly, but there was no emotion in her voice. "I will do what the contract says. I hope you will do the same. "

"Of course. " Gu Chengze was quite satisfied with Xia Qian. He would not treat people who made him happy unfairly.

Xia Qian did not say anything else. She just nodded and continued to stay by Gu Chengze's side.

After Xia Qian saw a few important people, she was a little tired. She got up early in the morning to put on makeup. The wedding process was also very complicated. Most importantly, this wedding did not belong to her. The sadness in her heart made it impossible for her to keep smiling and full of energy.

"Can I go back and rest first?" Xia Qian rubbed her temples and asked Gu Chengze softly.

Gu Chengze thought for a moment and nodded. "I will ask Jian Yi to arrange someone to send you back. "

Anyway, she had already seen all the people Xia Qian needed to see. There was nothing else for Xia Qian to do next.

"Thank you. " Xia Qian let out a sigh of relief.

Gu Chengze waved at Jian Yi, who was not far away, and pointed at Xia Qian.

Jian Yi immediately understood and walked towards them.

Gu Chengze drank the champagne in his hand, then walked towards a group of men around his age.

Xia Qian casually glanced at them and found that the group of men were all famous young masters in the upper circle of G-City. Some of them were people who often appeared in the same news page as Gu Chengze.

Gu Chengze probably went to find a good brother to drink because he married someone he did not like. Xia Qian retracted her gaze and secretly thought.

Should she also do something to vent her emotions? After all, she married someone she did not love.

Xia Qian lowered her head and looked at the huge diamond ring on her ring finger. It was like a shackle that she could not get rid of, making it hard for her to breathe.

Not only that, but she also had to wear this shackle for an entire year, or even longer!

"Miss Xia, the driver has already made arrangements for you. Please follow me. " Jian Yi's voice came over and interrupted Xia Qian's thoughts.

Xia Qian quickly came back to her senses. After thanking Jian Yi, she followed him and walked forward.

When Xia Qian came to Gu's Mansion, it was already afternoon. The sun was emitting a dim light.

Since Xia Qian came back early, there was no one else in Gu's Mansion other than the large group of servants.

Xia Qian heard that other than Gu Chengze, there was also his stepmother who lived in this villa.

It was rumored that Gu Chengze's stepmother was called Soong Ruofei, and she was a beauty. Soong Ruofei was eighteen years younger than Gu Chengze's father, and she was only seven or eight years older than Gu Chengze.

Not only that, Gu Chengze's stepmother seemed to have the talent to lead a company. She was not as vicious as Xia Qian's stepmother Shen Yulan. She had helped Gu Chengze a lot in his career.

However, Gu Chengze's stepmother was very mysterious. She had never appeared in front of the media. Soong Ruofei did not even attend the wedding today. It was said that she was ill and was resting at home.

But when Xia Qian returned to the villa today, she did not see this mysterious stepmother.

The maids in the villa were quite warm and polite. They respectfully called Xia Qian "Madam. " They also carefully introduced the Gu's Mansion to Xia Qian, such as the kitchen, the main hall, the swimming pool, and all kinds of entertainment places.

After Xia Qian thanked the maids, he walked into her and Gu Chengze's "wedding room. "

Xia Qian opened the door and a cold air hit her face. The cold room did not look like a wedding room at all. All kinds of precious and famous calligraphy and paintings were perfectly arranged, showing the style of the bedroom owner.

Xia Qian looked as she speculated in her heart, This is where Gu Chengze usually lives, right?
