After The Forced Marriage, I Ended Up With The Top Celebrity - Chapter 38
Qiao Jinyan practically jumped into the car.
Patting the seat, she anxiously said: “Driver, please hurry, I need to go to…”
“To the wedding venue, right? Ms. Qing instructed me beforehand.”
The driver turned and smiled at her, then quickly stepped on the accelerator. The engine roared, and the car sped into the lane. The bodies of the two people inside tilted to one side with the inertia.
Qiao Jinyan rapidly tapped her foot inside the car, as if she was also stepping on the accelerator, hoping it would make the car go faster.
“Ms. Qiao, there is a tablet on your right side. It’s connected to the internet. Ms. Qing specially prepared it for you to watch the wedding live stream.”
Qiao Jinyan: “…”
Qing Jiuyan was not only frighteningly meticulous but also so despicable it was maddening.
Without another word, Qiao Jinyan politely thanked the driver while quickly turning on the screen.
[System Prompt: 15546 bullet comments are arriving.]
Music started playing the wedding march Qiao Jinyan was all too familiar with.
Luo Nianshu, dressed in a wedding gown, and Wang Xu stood at the altar. Their expressions were so indifferent, it seemed like they were preparing for a divorce rather than a wedding.
Seeing this, Qiao Jinyan’s teeth nearly bit through her lip. The thought that someone else had seen Luo Nianshu in a wedding dress for the first time made her furious with jealousy toward Wang Xu and everyone at the wedding venue.
As if intentionally trying to humiliate Qiao Jinyan and Luo Nianshu, Zhang Weiyin specifically chose the same church and the same priest.
Netizens, who were following the drama, also began a heated discussion online.
I’m here to see the cheating couple get married. Well, the rumors are confirmed. I had held onto a glimmer of hope for the Luo-Qiao CP, but now the dream is shattered. Garbage wedding. It’s still the same church? This priest looks so familiar! I wonder what his psychological trauma score is.
The priest’s psychological trauma score was indeed high.
On the screen, the priest wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead with his wide sleeve. He looked at the two newcomers very reluctantly, sighed, and recited the necessary lines.
“Ms. Luo Nianshu, do you agree to be lawfully married to Mr. Wang Xu? From now on, whether in sickness or health, poverty or wealth, youthful beauty or old age, are you willing to stay with him, be faithful to him, and never leave him? Do you agree?”
Luo Nianshu didn’t even blink, and coldly said, “I do not.”
Priest: “???”
[Netizen Bullet Comments: ?????????????]
The priest looked troubled: “Then…”
“Continue,” Luo Nianshu commanded, her face cold.
The priest looked utterly miserable. He cautiously looked over at Wang Xu, whose expression was equally gloomy, and continued to ask, “Mr. Wang Xu, do you agree to be lawfully married to Ms. Luo Nianshu? From now on, whether in good times or bad, joy or sorrow, poverty or wealth, are you willing to be by her side, for a lifetime? Do you agree?”
“I also do not agree.”
Wang Xu looked straight ahead, giving his answer in a flat tone.
Priest: “…”
[Netizen Bullet Comments: ????] [Netizen Bullet Comments: What is going on?????] [Netizen Bullet Comments: Then why are they even getting married!!!!!!!]
The priest, feeling lifeless, looked up at the gods on the church ceiling, made a sign of the cross across his chest, and then quite consciously moved on to the next item.
“Please exchange rings.”
“They’re still exchanging rings!” Qiao Jinyan gasped, the tablet in her hand almost crushed. “Didn’t you hear they both said no!”
In her extreme anxiety, Qiao Jinyan couldn’t help but lean toward the driver and urged again, “Driver, can you go any faster? My girlfriend is about to marry someone else!”
“We’re already going fast,” the driver said truthfully. There was a speed limit on the road, and he was already driving at the maximum speed while ensuring safety and legality. Furthermore, his car was expensive, and other vehicles, worried about scratching it and being unable to afford the astronomical repair costs, consciously gave way to him.
But even so, Qiao Jinyan still felt the car was too slow, slower than any car she had ever ridden in.
She repeatedly rubbed the diamond ring on her middle finger, feeling the coolness warm up slightly in her hand, becoming scorching and anxious.
The air conditioning was on in the car, and the temperature was low, but Qiao Jinyan felt parched and her heart was racing. She couldn’t help but fan her reddened face with her hand.
Faster.
Qiao Jinyan silently chanted in her heart, anxiously watching as Luo Nianshu put a ring on Wang Xu’s thumb, and Wang Xu put the other ring on Luo Nianshu’s index finger.
[Netizen Bullet Comments: Did I see that wrong! Their rings are not on the ring finger!!] [Netizen Bullet Comments: Be confident, you didn’t see wrong. The priest just has bad eyesight.] [Netizen Bullet Comments: Why am I getting more and more confused? Is there a special meaning to wearing rings on the index finger and thumb?]
The priest was already acting oblivious, having seen it all. He smiled peacefully: “I wish you happiness! Next, as requested by the bride and groom, let’s look back at the loving past of the bride and groom.”
When it came to this part, Luo Nianshu’s eyelid twitched slightly, and her expression finally showed some change.
She looked up at the electronic screen.
No one knew what would be broadcast there, not even she herself.
Would her plan succeed?
Qiao Jinyan’s awards ceremony should be over by now. Did Molly send her off safely?
The projectionist clicked the mouse, selected the folder, double-clicked, and the video’s thumbnail was a photo of Luo Nianshu and Wang Xu.
The church was silent.
Dozens of cameras pointed at the screen.
[Netizen Bullet Comments: Come, let me see what kind of melodramatic romance this is.] [Netizen Bullet Comments: I wonder if Qiao Jinyan is watching this video. Seeing her ex girlfriend and ex boyfriend get married must be heartbreaking… but why does saying that make me want to laugh?] [Netizen Bullet Comments: Cheaters, cheaters, cheaters, cheaters… Is anyone going to join me in cursing them until 2025!]
“Ms. Qiao, don’t worry. Ms. Qing has already found someone to hack into the system. The switched video is about to play.”
Sensing the small pocket of condensed air behind him, the driver couldn’t help but remind her. He deftly shifted to a higher gear, pressing harder on the gas pedal.
“I know,” Qiao Jinyan replied, yet she was still tense, staring intently at the screen without even raising her eyelids.
A small circle appeared in the center of the screen at the wedding, slowly loading the video.
The two people, Luo Nianshu on the screen and Qiao Jinyan outside the screen, finally sighed in relief.
The video flickered, and Zhang Weiyin’s insidious and cunning face appeared.
【”It bothers me to see her so happy with you.”】
【”Do you have the right to bargain with me? If you don’t break up, then wait to collect her body. You know I have the power to do that.”】
Zhang Weiyin’s past call records were clearly broadcast on the big screen. The face was Zhang Weiyin’s face, and the voice was also Zhang Weiyin’s voice.
The evidence was undeniable.
The video then switched, with various indecent transactions involving sexual assault, gambling, and coercion flashing across the screen like a movie. Everyone present gasped.
Luo Nianshu turned to face the camera, her gaze sharp and unwavering.
“I am marrying Wang Xu today because Zhang Weiyin forced me to choose this by threatening Jinyan’s safety. The fire Qiao Jinyan encountered two years ago was also masterminded by Zhang Weiyin. Besides that, she uses her power and the support of various dark groups behind her to sexually exploit new male and female artists. You netizens have witnessed the evidence in this video.”
“I don’t know if I can safely walk out of this church, but I hope Jinyan will be safe. I know it’s hard to stand up, and a small person confronting a powerful one is extremely difficult. I don’t know how Zhang Weiyin will deal with me after today, but I hope, no, I beg everyone, can you stand up against the darkness, can you protect my loved one from harm?”
Before she could finish speaking, several uniformed security guards rushed onto the wedding stage they were Zhang Weiyin’s spies arranged in advance.
Luo Nianshu’s expression hardened. She kicked off her high heels, grabbed her skirt, and ran.
[Netizen Bullet Comments: Ahhhhh, so that’s what happened! Zhang Weiyin is too despicable!!!!!] [Netizen Bullet Comments: People at the scene, quickly go and help Luo Nianshu!!!!!!] [Netizen Bullet Comments: Holy crap! This Director!!!!] [Netizen Bullet Comments: Are these security guards Zhang Weiyin’s people? Luo, run fast!!! Don’t get caught! I’m so worried!!!!]
“Driver! Driver, please, can you go a little faster!”
The scene on the screen made Qiao Jinyan incredibly anxious.
The driver slammed on the brakes, “We’re…”
Before the word “here” could leave his mouth, the person in the back seat had already vanished.
The church was in chaos. The real security team and Zhang Weiyin’s spies were fighting. Reporters and visiting guests also stepped forward to help block the spies, shouting for Luo Nianshu to escape quickly.
[Netizen Bullet Comments: Luo Nianshu, run! Someone is coming from the right to grab you!!!!!] [Netizen Bullet Comments: Left, left! There are people on the left too!!!! It’s better to hide!!!] [Netizen Bullet Comments: I’m so touched that everyone suddenly helped… I will definitely remember these helping celebrities and media, I will watch all their works from now on!!]
“Luo Nianshu!”
Amidst the confusion, Qiao Jinyan suddenly squeezed into the church. Her expression was anxious and tense. Her eyes quickly scanned left and right, looking for Luo Nianshu.
Luo Nianshu froze. In just one glance, she saw Qiao Jinyan in the chaotic, crowded church.
Qiao Jinyan obviously saw her too. She stood at the church entrance, her silver dress radiating a soft, dazzling light.
“Luo Nianshu, do you want to come with me?”
Qiao Jinyan shouted, pushing through the crowd toward the church interior.
Luo Nianshu’s eyes welled up. She dodged the scrambling crowd and flying chairs, running toward Qiao Jinyan.
“Yes!”
[Netizen Bullet Comments: Qiao Jinyan was at an awards ceremony, how did she get to the wedding venue?] [Netizen Bullet Comments: She’s crashing the wedding, crashing the wedding, crashing the wedding! Ahhhhh, my big sister is so cool!!!!] [Netizen Bullet Comments: May true lovers always be together!! They must successfully escape!!!]
Luo Nianshu flew toward her, her pure white veil trailing behind her like waves of the sea.
Qiao Jinyan did not hesitate either. She broke through the sea of people and hugged Luo Nianshu tightly. She held her, crushed her, devoured her, smelling the fragrance in her hair, and feeling the frantic heartbeats of the two of them pounding against each other.
The scent of peach blossoms back in her embrace gave her peace.
“Luo Nianshu, you can only marry me in this life.”
“Okay.”
“You can only wear a wedding dress for me.”
“Okay.”
“You can only wear the ring I give you.”
“Okay.”
Luo Nianshu buried her head in Qiao Jinyan’s neck, breathing in her unique scent.
It had only been a week since they last saw each other, but she was already lovesick.
A heavy object flew toward them with a rush of air. Luo Nianshu sensed it keenly. She quickly lifted her head and cried out, “Watch out!” She threw out her arm, using her hand to shield Qiao Jinyan’s head.
With a pained cry of “Ugh,” Luo Nianshu covered her forearm, which had been hit by a chair flying from nowhere. Qiao Jinyan quickly let go of her to check her injury, finding her forearm already bruised and slightly swollen.
“Who threw it?”
In the next second, Qiao Jinyan, enraged, picked up a chair to throw it back.
“Forget it, forget it,” Luo Nianshu quickly pulled her back.
The cameras were still rolling, and the scene was still being live-streamed. Qiao Jinyan’s image as a lady couldn’t be ruined.
“No way!” Qiao Jinyan was murderous.
Luo Nianshu rolled her eyes, bared her teeth, and pretended to cry out a few times, “It hurts so much.”
As soon as she made those sounds, Qiao Jinyan immediately put down the chair and looked over nervously: “Where does it hurt? How are you?”
“I don’t know, maybe the bone is hurt,” Luo Nianshu continued to act. “Let’s hurry and leave. We need to go to the hospital.”
“Okay.” This time, Qiao Jinyan was no longer stubborn. She helped Luo Nianshu carefully dodge and exit the church.
After the two got into the car, the driver stepped on the gas and drove away.
The car’s radio played the day’s news.
“Latest news: Top actress Qiao Jinyan confessed her deep love for her girlfriend at the Golden Image Awards ceremony and gave up her trophy to pursue true love.”
“Deep confession?” Luo Nianshu narrowed her eyes, her tone playful.
Qiao Jinyan, who was massaging Luo Nianshu’s injury, paused her hand movement, her face suddenly turning red. She quickly said, “Driver, please change the channel.”
“No, no, don’t change it!” Luo Nianshu covered Qiao Jinyan’s mouth. “Driver, please turn up the volume.”
The driver smiled and adjusted the knob. The entire car compartment was immediately filled with Qiao Jinyan’s voice:
【”I like Luo Nianshu, I really, really like her.”】
【”When she smiles, I am bright. When she cries, I am low.”】
【”I’m going to find my Nianshu. She protects me, and I must protect her too.”】
The car went silent. Qiao Jinyan was so embarrassed she wanted to abandon the car and run away.
“Oh, so you like me that much,” Luo Nianshu looked at the person next to her, teasingly and triumphantly.
“Don’t say it,” Qiao Jinyan completely lost her arrogant demeanor, mumbling awkwardly on the side.
Luo Nianshu lowered her head and leaned closer to her, deliberately trying to see her shy expression. This action made Qiao Jinyan even more embarrassed. She turned her head, trying to avoid Luo Nianshu’s gaze.
But Luo Nianshu was persistent, leaning close to her face, then nudging her nose with her own, making her raise her head slightly. Then, her lips and tongue followed, gently, grindingly, sucking, and teasing her lips and tongue, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes kissing, sometimes biting.
Their breaths tangled together, carrying heat that made both of them tremble.
“There’s nothing to be ashamed of,” Luo Nianshu murmured while kissing, “After all, I am loved by everyone and admired by flowers. The fact that you fell for me just proves you have good taste.”
Qiao Jinyan pushed her away a little, her face flushed to the roots of her ears. She then pecked Luo Nianshu’s lips back, like kissing a soft cloud.
The next second, as if remembering something, Qiao Jinyan told the driver: “Turn right at the next intersection. We’re going to a private hospital.”
“No, turn left. Go back to Qiao Jinyan’s house,” Luo Nianshu interjected calmly.
“Why go back to my house?” Qiao Jinyan looked at her, confused.
Luo Nianshu’s smile at the corner of her mouth was meaningful. She leaned over and kissed her again, one kiss after another.
While lightly kissing her, she sighed softly:
“To get the household registration book. We’re going to get our marriage license.”
