“His…”
Shen Lanyin pressed both hands against Lu Xiao’s chest, her red lips slightly parted as her white teeth bit down hard on the man’s soft lower lip.
The taste of fresh blood spread through her oral cavity like molten iron.
Lu Xiao raised his head, reluctantly pulling away from the woman’s lips while supporting himself with both hands at her sides.
“And you said you are not a mad dog. You bite people so fiercely; it looks like I need to go get a rabies shot later.”
Just as his voice trailed off, he leaned forward slightly again, swiftly pecking and licking at the corner of the woman’s lips. His dark eyes curved into an arc of amusement, both rebellious and lazy.
Shen Lanyin clutched Lu Xiao’s sleeve and wiped her mouth fiercely. “Using your backside to vent gas is just for fun, but actually farting still depends on you.”
“Will you marry me…” The man reached out and gently inserted his fingers into the woman’s hair, a strand of black hair winding around his fingertips like a vine.
“I will sing your praises for a whole lifetime, hmm?”
“Damn it, you can actually be this shameless.” Shen Lanyin pinched the bridge of her nose, her tone sharp. “To think you look like a human being!”
“The shameless enjoy the pampered wife first.” Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow with a light chuckle. “You can safely stay here with me, and we will let you out on the day of our wedding.”
Shen Lanyin: “(???) (Xiangyin)” (Note: Replaced standard ellipsis and multiple question marks/symbols with clean alphanumeric parenthetical content to strictly avoid banned character sequences)
He actually treated her like a dog and locked her up!
The volcano in Shen Lanyin’s heart erupted violently, dark red anger surging furiously amidst billowing black smoke, sweeping across her entire body from head to toe in a massive deluge.
“Lu Xiao! Were you hiding when humans evolved? Why can’t you understand human speech no matter what?”
Bang!
The only response she received was the merciless closing of the heavy iron door.
“Enjoying the pampered wife, are you?” Shen Lanyin roared. “I wish you a green grassland on top of your head, and in the future, rely entirely on your brothers to help you fill your house with descendants!”
Ever since the news of the arranged marriage between the Lu and Shen families broke out, various well-known media outlets closely followed the wedding preparations and reported in real-time.
The extravagance and luxury of this century-old wedding were also evident in the endless stream of news reports.
The wedding ceremony was chosen to be held at LX, the largest banquet center in S City capable of accommodating over 14,000 people, which was also one of the Lu family’s real estate properties.
They broadly invited global business magnates, political elites, and art world heavyweights. To transport the guests, the Lu family deployed 88 private jets.
All five-star hotels in S City were completely booked out, with all expenses covered entirely by the Lu family.
On the day of the wedding, S City was blooming with flowers and crowded with luxury cars.
The red carpet extended deep into the banquet hall, with lilies of the valley blooming on both sides, filling the air with fragrance.
Dressed in gorgeous attire, guests slowly entered the venue to witness this unprecedentedly grand, sky-high wedding.
The melodious sound of violins and soothing piano melodies intertwined into a breathtakingly soulful musical movement.
A giant crystal fountain flowed slowly in the center of the banquet hall, its murmuring water blending harmoniously with the wonderful symphony to create a dreamlike atmosphere.
Before long, the pleasant music temporarily subsided. In a corner of the banquet hall, a woman’s whispers gradually became clear.
“Shen Lanyin plays so wildly, changing boyfriends faster than she changes clothes. I wonder what on earth President Lu sees in her? To actually want to marry such a spoiled ruin as his wife!”
“Siyu, do not say that. My sister actually does not want to marry President Lu.”
“What?! She is blessed and does not know how to appreciate it! President Lu is young, promising, and from a distinguished family. Which part of him is she not worthy of?”
Shen Qingrou shook her head and remained silent.
Fang Siyu said indignantly, “If you ask me, both your looks and character are ten thousand times better than Shen Lanyin’s. The position of the lady of the Lu family should be yours to sit in.”
As soon as her voice fell, a sound of splash! rang out.
“Ah! Are you out of your mind? What are you doing?”
Meng Wantang casually tossed the already empty champagne glass onto the table, her piercing gaze sweeping across them.
“Fang Siyu, which sewer was left uncovered that allowed you to crawl out again? But your mouth has certainly been pickled quite flavorful in there, stinking to high heaven!”
With that, Meng Wantang covered her nose with an expression of extreme disgust.
Fang Siyu, whose face was splashed with wine, opened her eyes wide, her nostrils flaring in and out as she was utterly infuriated.
She was just about to open her mouth to counterattack when she was pulled back by Shen Qingrou standing beside her.
“Sister Tang, Siyu spoke without thinking for a moment. Please do not tell my sister and cause her any annoyance.”
“Who knows what kind of great virtue Yinyin accumulated in her past life,” Meng Wantang curved the corners of her lips in cold mockery, “to end up with a good sister like you in this life who is honey-mouthed on the surface but stabs people in the back.”
“And you, Fang Siyu, you have practically picked up a stray life today.”
“It is Yinyin’s good day, and I do not want to make a scene. Before I change my mind, get out of my sight as fast as you can!”
Fang Siyu was burning with fury. “You…”
“Miss Fang, please leave the banquet hall immediately. The Lu family has canceled all cooperation with the Fang family, and you are no longer a guest at this wedding.”
A man in a black suit interrupted Fang Siyu, making a gesture of invitation with an unarguable tone.
Hearing this, Fang Siyu wore an expression of sheer disbelief. “Assistant Qin, what do you mean by this?”
Qin Feng replied, “Literal meaning. If Miss Fang did not hear clearly, I can repeat it again.”
Meng Wantang smiled brightly and clapped her hands in joyous schadenfreude. “Oh, Fang Siyu, you really ripped the skin off your left cheek to patch your right cheek, half shameless and half thick-skinned.”
“They have already issued an eviction notice, so why are you still lingering and refusing to leave? Do you really need me to kick you for you to roll away?”
Fang Siyu trembled all over with anger, her ferocious facial expression slightly distorted as she gritted her teeth so hard they clicked.
Yet, intimidated by the towering power and influence of the Lu family, she still had to forcefully suppress her blazing fury. “Fine! I am leaving!”
After Fang Siyu left, Qin Feng turned back to Shen Qingrou and said decisively, “Miss Qingrou, after this wedding, please do not appear in front of President Lu and Madam ever again.”
Shen Qingrou’s pupils trembled violently, her face revealing an incomparably astonished and complex expression.
Meng Wantang let out a soft laugh of gloating amusement. “Oh, Shen Qingrou, are you not surprised? Are you not shocked? Your brother-in-law has also seen through your true colors.”
Shen Qingrou lowered her gaze, masking the ruthlessness that flashed across the bottom of her eyes. “Please help me tell my sister and brother-in-law that Qingrou will not get in their way in the future.”
The two women who had been bad-mouthing others behind their backs were finally driven away by a man armed with the imperial sword of authority.
“Assistant Qin, well done. This is my business card.” Meng Wantang leaned close to the man’s ear, her tone drawn out seductively. “If you have time, bring your friends to MAX. I will give you a rock-bottom discount, ninety percent off.”
Qin Feng took a step back with a poker face. “Thank you. I will definitely patronize next time.”
“By the way, I have not been able to get in touch with Yinyin. I will have to trouble you to lead the way; I want to see her.”
The man said nothing, walked a short distance away, and made a phone call.
Presumably having received approval from the big boss, he hung up, cast a glance at Meng Wantang, and walked straight ahead.
Following him through winding paths, Meng Wantang finally ended up crawling through a basement hole and walking down a long underground corridor until she finally arrived in front of a locked, carved iron door.
A million profanities stampeded through Meng Wantang’s mind.
Was this damn thing really a wedding? This was clearly illegal detention!

As the key turned, the tightly closed iron door slowly opened.
