Zhao Zilong's mood fluctuated slightly. He looked at Shen Muqing with a smile, but found that she stood there expressionlessly and did not intend to cooperate with him at all, so he could not help but feel a little disappointed.
But he did not want to force her to make himself embarrassed, so he smiled and waved his hand at his friends, indicating that they should not make trouble.
Tong Yaner keenly noticed that the atmosphere seemed to be a little strange. Thinking of the arrangement of the person who asked her to be the emcee, she moved her eyes, picked up the microphone, and said with a smile, "Please be quiet, everyone. Our ceremony is not over yet."
After that, she looked at Shen Muqing with deep eyes and asked solemnly, "Now, I want to ask the beautiful Miss Shen Muqing: Are you willing to be engaged to the handsome Mr. Zhao Zilong next to you, whether he is poor or rich, and you will never leave him, until forever?"
The scene instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at Shen Muqing in unison, waiting for her answer.
After all, they were not fools. From Shen Muqing's appearance to now, she had not even smiled, and she even ignored Zhao Zilong's gesture of asking her to hold his arm. It would be strange if there was no problem.
Old Master Shen suddenly became nervous and sat up straight subconsciously. Ye Shulan even widened her eyes and stared at her daughter, for fear of hearing the answer she was most afraid of.
Bai Qing, Gu Yongxuan, and Wei Biaobiao all showed playful expressions and quietly looked at the girl who instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, wanting to see how she would answer.
Shen Momei, who had been silent with a straight face, looked around anxiously, thinking that Ding Ning would not really give up. Why hadn't he appeared at this time?
Zhao Zilong's heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate uncontrollably, and he stared at Shen Muqing without blinking. A strong uneasiness quickly spread in his heart, making his confidence fade quickly. He unconsciously clenched his fists, and suddenly he was a little afraid of hearing the answer she was about to give.
"I …"
As soon as Shen Muqing spoke, everyone was shocked. Her voice was as dry and hoarse as rust rubbing against each other, and it did not seem to come from the mouth of a young and beautiful girl.
"Muqing, are you sick? Why did your voice become like this? "
Zhao Zilong subconsciously stepped forward and asked with concern.
"Cough cough!"
Shen Muqing coughed twice and waved her hand, indicating that she was fine. When she spoke again, although her voice was still a little hoarse, it was much better, "I'm fine."
Then, he smiled at Tong Yaner and said, "Before answering this question, I want to say a few words."
Tong Yan'er did not know why, but from her seemingly calm smile, she could read a sense of despair and sorrow. Her heart suddenly tightened, and she stared at her and nodded heavily.
Although that feeling was very subtle, she firmly believed that she would not be wrong. This woman, who should have been very happy at this moment, actually had the will to die.
Zhao Zilong came from a good family, had a good temper, was tall and strong, and looked handsome. He was like a prince charming from a fairy tale. It could be said that he was almost a perfect man. Even if it was her, she might not be able to resist his charm.
Most importantly, she could see that Zhao Zilong really liked Shen Muqing. She really couldn't understand why Shen Muqing still had the idea of seeking death when she could be engaged to such an excellent and perfect man.
"Most of the people present should know that I have a very serious congenital heart disease …"
Shen Muqing just said the opening remarks, and Tong Yaner showed a look of sudden understanding. She thought that she had found the truth. It turned out that she did not like Zhao Zilong, but because she had a serious congenital heart disease, she knew that she would not live long, so she had no desire to live. This filled her heart with sympathy, and she murmured in her heart in frustration, "What is love in the world? It makes people live and die for each other."
”
But soon, as Shen Muqing began to talk tirelessly, recalling the bits and pieces of her acquaintance with him, although she did not mention his name, Tong Yaner knew that she had misunderstood. Shen Muqing did not have no desire to live because of her illness, but she really did not like Zhao Zilong.
The scene fell into a dead silence. Old Master Shen's chest rose and fell sharply, and he breathed rapidly. He stared at Shen Muqing with murderous eyes.
Ye Shulan closed her eyes in despair. What she was most afraid of finally happened. Old Master Shen's plan might fail. With his temper, he would never let Shen Muqing go. Even if he did not beat her to death, he would probably cripple her and imprison her for a lifetime.
Zhao Tianya's face was so gloomy that it could drip water, and his eyes were full of anger. Although Shen Muqing had not directly refused, it was obvious that talking about her feelings for another man on such an occasion was tantamount to giving the Zhao Family a loud slap in the face in public.
Zhao Zilong clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white because of the force, and his face felt hot. He had never wanted to kill someone so much.
He swore that if the bastard named Ding Ning dared to appear in front of him, he would tear him to pieces without hesitation.
Xiao Dingshan's face was not much better. Although Shen Muqing did not mention his name, he knew that the person she was talking about was definitely Ding Ning, his grandson-in-law.
Xiao Yan could not tell what she felt in her heart. She was a little jealous, but also admired and sympathized with Shen Muqing.
"You may be curious why I wear this man's clothes to attend this occasion."
Shen Muqing said more and more fluently, without the slightest fear and shyness in her eyes, only fearless courage, "It's not that I want to show off my personality, or that I'm unconventional as some people think, but because …"
Shen Muqing's face was full of a happy smile of remembrance, "Because this is the clothes he wore when he blocked the bullets for me. In order to save me, he blocked all the muzzles without hesitation and was shot dozens of times in the back …"
"Wow!"
The audience suddenly burst into an uproar and began to whisper to each other, expressing doubt. How could anyone survive dozens of shots? They thought that Shen Muqing was exaggerating.
"I know you don't believe me, but this is the truth, because he is a very, very magical person. He is upright, brave, sincere, and kind. He doesn't know how to say flowery words, nor does he know how to say sweet nothings, but he will always appear in front of me when I need help the most, like a divine soldier descending from the heavens to save me from the fire and water. I think, perhaps, he is a guardian sent by the heavens to protect me."
Shen Muqing said emotionally and looked at Zhao Zilong for the first time, "So, I'm sorry, my answer is that I don't want to."
"Bastard!"
An angry roar suddenly sounded. Master Shen's eyes were full of anger. He stood up, pointed at Shen Muqing with trembling fingers, and scolded, "How could my Shen Family have such a shameless thing like you …"
"Dad …"
Ye Shulan grabbed Shen Guowei's arm with tears streaming down her face, trying to plead for Shen Muqing.
"Our family is unfortunate. I'll shoot you now."
Shen Guowei roared with a livid face and shook off Ye Shulan's hand. The rage made him completely lose his mind. He suddenly pulled out the gun from the waist of the guard behind him, unlocked the safety bolt without hesitation, and pulled the trigger on Shen Muqing on the stage.
"No."
Ye Shulan cried out sadly. She couldn't stand such a blow and fainted on the spot.
Zhao Zilong's face changed dramatically, and he wanted to rush forward to stand in front of Shen Muqing, but the selfish nature in his bones made him instinctively retreat instead of advancing. He rolled to the corner in embarrassment to hide.
"Ah!"
Tong Yaner screamed in fear, covered her head with her hands, and squatted on the ground, shivering.
Shen Muqing stood alone on the stage and didn't hide. She closed her eyes with a calm face. There was no fear, no sadness, no regret. There was only endless relief.
She murmured softly, "Ding Ning, goodbye. If there is a next life, I will be braver and never be separated from you again."
She finally dared to face her heart bravely. Since she couldn't be with him in this life, what was the point of living? Let it end like this.
But after the gunshot rang for a long time, she didn't feel any pain. Instead, she felt that she was held in a warm embrace. The familiar smell made her heart tremble. She opened her eyes doubtfully, but what she saw was the face that she had been yearning for day and night. At this moment, the face was looking at her with a smile.
The love in his eyes was as deep as the sea, and all the bitterness and grievances in her heart poured out like a broken dam. She burst into tears and threw herself into his arms. She hugged his waist tightly and was not willing to let go.
"Don't cry, don't cry, good girl!"
Ding Ning patted her back like coaxing a child, but his eyes were already wet. He knew that the girl in his arms loved him, but he didn't expect that she would do this for him. Fortunately, he arrived in time. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
"B * stard, you're courting death."
Shen Guowei was famous for his reckless temper. Seeing that Shen Muqing, who made him lose face, was saved, he shouted furiously and raised his hand, intending to shoot her again.
"Enough, Shen Guowei, do you want the Shen family to be exterminated?"
A stern shout came, which made Shen Guowei tremble all over. He stared at Xiao Dingshan who stopped him and said, "Old Xiao, do you want to stop me?"
"You can't touch this person. You can't afford the consequences."
Xiao Dingshan warned with a livid face. Although he wanted to tear Ding Ning, the bastard, into pieces, he had the overall situation and knew how important Ding Ning was to the country.
Although Shen Guowei was used to being reckless and had made a lot of military achievements, the higher-ups had always been more tolerant and accommodating to him because of his military achievements. But there was a limit to their tolerance. Shooting in public was enough for him. If he killed Ding Ning, the whole Shen family would probably bear the thunderous anger of the higher-ups.
Although Shen Guowei was stunned, he was not stupid. He also knew that Xiao Dingshan was doing this for his own good. But he had always been hot-tempered, rude and overbearing, and was particularly concerned about his reputation. Today, he was humiliated by Shen Muqing in public. How could he agree to let it go?
"Even if I'm dragged out and shot in the next minute, I'll kill that unfilial bastard today."
Shen Guowei's face was ferocious. Ignoring Xiao Dingshan's warning, he raised his hand and fired three shots at Ding Ning's back.
Boom!
Blood splattered, which made the calm Dragon King slightly change his expression. He was very familiar with Ding Ning. With his strength, how could these ordinary bullets hurt him?
But the next moment, he suddenly realized and shook his head with a wry smile. "This guy deliberately took these three shots."
"Ah!"
Tong Yaner plucked up the courage to stand up, but she was scared by the three shots in succession and screamed. She squatted on the ground, holding her head and shivering like a frightened quail. She regretted it so much. If she had known that being an emcee would be so dangerous, even if Jiang Yimeng was her best friend, she would never have agreed to take this private job.
"Ah, you've been shot? Boohoo, why are you so stupid? "
Shen Muqing didn't pay attention to what had happened at all. She only reacted when she felt that her hand holding Ding Ning was suddenly sticky and wet. She immediately turned pale with fright and burst into tears.
