C5 Chapter 5

Xue Aofeng's heart was heavy, like a father marrying his son, full of worry.

He was not Xia Tinghan's father, after all. He loved Xia Tinghan, and he was not willing to accept the fact that Xia Tinghan had been blind to choose such a man.

Just as he had said to Xia Tinghan before the wedding, "If you want to, turn your head and I'll be there."

This was a way out for Xia Tinghan, and it was also a chance for him.

Xue Aofeng sat at the head of the table and could clearly see Xia Tinghan's smiling face. It was so bright and so happy. It was a pity that the one who gave him the smile was not him. Otherwise, he would make that smile even more beautiful. He would make that smile fill with the taste of candy, and it would be sweet to Xia Tinghan's chest.

Lian Muqing had always been hostile towards Xue Aofeng. After all, when Xia Laozi was still alive, he had clearly expressed his admiration for Xue Aofeng.

And Xue Aofeng's liking for Xia Tinghan was also very obvious. He was not stupid, he saw it very clearly, he just pretended that he didn't know.

Lian Muqing wore the ring on Xia Tinghan's ring finger with a pious smile on his face. No one knew if he was sincere or not. He had disguised himself for too long, and probably wouldn't be able to tell if he was sincere or not.

"I, Lian Muqing, would like to invite everyone here to be my witness. Whether it is life, death, poverty, or wealth, I am willing to always be with my lover, Xia Tinghan. I will always protect and love him until the end of my life. And I love you, Tinghan."

There was a thunderous round of applause and full of blessings. Tears welled up in Xia Tinghan's eyes. He didn't know whether he was moved or sad.

Was this man's acting too good or did he really love him? Before this, he had been plotting for his own property in someone else's bed. Now, in the blink of an eye, he was able to say that he loved him. Xia Tinghan suddenly felt afraid. Was it worth it?

Xia Tinghan's heart was also very conflicted. On the one hand, it was true love. On the other hand, it was hatred from being betrayed. On the other hand, his heart was filled with fear.

When Xia Tinghan heard such an oath, he only smiled standardized. His smile was very perfunctory. Perhaps others might not be able to see it, but Xue Aofeng could.

Lian Muqing was toasting the others, while Xia Tinghan stood alone in the corner, thinking about something. Xue Aofeng walked over with two glasses of champagne.

A glass of champagne suddenly appeared in front of him. Xia Tinghan raised his lowered eyes and looked over. He took the champagne and smiled for the first time that night. "Thank you."

"Why don't you go to the toast?"

"It doesn't matter if I go or not. No one cares."

"That's right. As long as those who care about you see that you are happy, it doesn't matter if I toast you."

"Yes."

"Are you okay?"

"Not good. I regret it a little. Tell me, am I stupid to bet on myself?"

"If you regret it, I will take you away!"

"Forget it, don't do so much for me. I can't afford it."

"You know, I..."

"What are you talking about?" Lian Muqing held the wine cup and walked around Xue Aofeng to Xia Tinghan's side. The unfinished wine cup was placed on Xia Tinghan's shoulder. That victorious look on his face made people feel funny, but it still stung Xue Aofeng.

"Nothing. Aofeng just wished me happiness."

"Is that so?" Lian Muqing raised his wine cup and gestured. "Thank you, I will treat him well."

Xue Aofeng just looked at Lian Muqing expressionlessly, "I did give you my blessing, and that was for Tinghan, but I also have to give you my advice."

"Please speak."

"If one day you fail Tinghan, no matter where you go, I will make you die a horrible death."
