Zhao Jing's disappearance was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake. Although Lu Tingchen tried his best to suppress the ripples, those tiny ripples still inevitably drifted into the seemingly perfect tranquility of the manor.
Su Wanwan could sense a barely perceptible tightness in the air. The bodyguards' patrols became more frequent, and the checks on vehicles entering and leaving were so strict that they were almost harsh. Even when she occasionally wanted to take her son to the greenhouse further away in the garden, she would be gently but firmly advised, "It's better to take a walk near the main building."
Lu Tingchen's performance was even more contradictory. It seemed that he spent more time by her side, taking meticulous care of her and their children. He even personally participated in the discussions of wedding details, showing extraordinary patience in the font of the invitations and the color matching of the flowers. But Su Wanwan often woke up in the dead of night, only to find no one around. Light would seep through the crack of the study door, or he would stand on the terrace, whispering certain instructions into his phone, his profile cold and hard as ice in the moonlight.
He never mentioned Zhao Jing's disappearance to her again, and she tacitly asked. She knew that he was using all his strength to search frantically in the dark. He didn't want these sordid matters to disturb her in the slightest.
This silent protection made her heart ache and also strengthened her resolve.
She can't just passively wait to be protected. She will also protect this family and their hard-won happiness in her own way.
This day was the one I had made an appointment to try on the wedding dress. Top wedding dress brands directly transported the latest and haute couture collections of their entire series to the estate and set up a private salon in the main hall.
Sunlight streamed in through the huge floor-to-ceiling Windows. The pure white wedding dresses shone with a holy glow in the halo, each one breathtakingly beautiful.
With the help of the designer and her assistant, Su Wanwan tried on each piece one by one. The figure reflected in the mirror is slender yet no longer weak, with the tenderness and tenacity of a wife and a mother in her brows and eyes.
When Lu Tingchen walked in after finishing his official business, he saw her trying on her last main wedding dress.
It was a design that was extremely simple yet incredibly luxurious. The huge floor-length skirt was adorned with tiny top-quality crystals, as if the stars in the sky were draped over her body, making her skin as white as snow and her eyes bright. The veil gently hung down, half-hidden and half-concealed, presenting a breathtaking beauty.
He stood still, his breathing almost imperceptible for a moment. Lu Tingchen, who was decisive and resolute in the business world and never changed his color in the face of a hail of bullets, at this moment, was somewhat at a loss and dazed.
Su Wanwan saw him in the mirror, turned around, and had a hint of shyness and anticipation on her face: "Is he good-looking?" "
Lu Tingchen approached step by step, his gaze firmly fixed on her all the time, as if she were the only one left in the entire world. He walked up to her, reached out his hand and touched the crystal on the hem of her dress very lightly, as if afraid of disturbing a fragile dream.
"Nice." " His voice was deep and hoarse, with a kind of almost devout tenderness. "So nice..." It leaves me at a loss for words to describe it."
He raised his eyes and looked deeply into her eyes: "Wanwan, thank you." Thank you for being willing to marry me. Thank you... They are still willing to give me a chance to make up for it.
At this moment, it seemed that all the P.P. Foundation and Zhao Jing were isolated from this brilliant light. In his eyes, there was only his bride.
Su Wanwan's eyes were slightly warm. She reached out her hand voluntarily and held his: "It's not compensation." It is... "Let's start anew."
The two smiled at each other, and the air was filled with an overwhelming love and happiness that couldn't be dissolved.
Finally, the wedding dress and the matching jewelry were chosen. The staff member respectfully stepped aside, leaving the space for the couple who were about to get married.
Lu Tingchen held Su Wanwan in his arms from behind, looking at their close and intimate figures in the mirror.
On my wedding day, I will let the whole world know that you are my only love. He whispered in her ear, a promise as well as a declaration.
Su Wanwan leaned against his arms and nodded at ease.
However, this warmth was soon shattered. Qin Hao returned, his expression even more solemn than before. He didn't say a word but merely gave Lu Tingchen a wink.
Lu Tingchen's eyes instantly turned cold. He gently patted Su Wanwan's hand back and said, "I'm going out for a moment. I'll be back soon."
Su Wanwan's heart sank slightly, but she still maintained a calm smile on her face: "OK." "
In the study, the news brought by Qin Hao made Lu Tingchen's face horribly gloomy.
We traced the area where Zhao Jing might be hiding and conducted a secret investigation. But before the operation, an explosion occurred at that stronghold. It was cleaned up very thoroughly, leaving no clues. Qin Hao spoke very fast. "What's more troublesome is that we intercepted some fragmented information. It seems that they are planning on the wedding day..." Create trouble. The specific target is unclear, but it is highly likely to be aimed at the lady or the young master.
The other party's madness and provocation exceeded expectations. They are not evading but taking the initiative to declare war!
Lu Tingchen punched the wall, his eyes flashing with a terrifying storm: "They're looking for death!" "
The security plan must be comprehensively upgraded, with all links re-examined and the guest list subject to the highest level of background screening... Qin Hao promptly reported the response plan.
"No." Lu Tingchen suddenly interrupted him, his voice cold and terrifying. "If they want to play, I'll play with them until the end."
A bolder, even crazy plan quickly took shape in his mind.
Since it's impossible to ensure a 100% defense, then take the initiative to set up a trap, lure the enemy into the trap, and then... Catch them all in one net!
He wants to turn the wedding venue into the final resting place for all those evil spirits and monsters!
"Plan change." " Lu Tingchen turned around, his eyes sharp like an eagle's. "Prepare at the highest alert level, but on the surface, everything remains the same, and even seems..." More relaxed than before."
Qin Hao instantly understood his intention and gasped, "Mr. Lu, this is too risky!" In case..."
There's no such thing as a "what if". Lu Tingchen was resolute, "I won't risk the safety of Wanwan and the child." Do as I say. The details must be absolutely meticulous!"
His tone was beyond doubt, with a resolute determination to go all out.
Qin Hao could only accept the order: "Yes!" "
Lu Tingchen stood by the window of the study, gazing at the bright scenery outside, his eyes cold yet resolute.
Want to ruin his wedding? Want to hurt the one he loves the most?
Then come on.
He will let these people know what real hell is.
When he returned to the main hall, the 阴鸷 and murderous intent on his face had vanished, replaced by a gentle smile. He walked up to Su Wanwan and naturally put his arm around her waist.
"Has everything been dealt with?" " Su Wanwan looked up and asked him, her eyes clear.
"Well, it's a little trouble. It's settled." Lu Tingchen lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair, his tone relaxed. "Where did you just say?" By the way, do you have any ideas about the honeymoon destination?
He skillfully steered the conversation towards a future full of anticipation, perfectly concealing the bloody plan that had just been brewed beneath a tender and affectionate veil.
Su Wanwan leaned against him and began to discuss with great enthusiasm whether it was a small island in the Mediterranean or the aurora in Northern Europe.
The sun was still shining brightly, and the wedding dress was dazzling.
But beneath the calm sea surface, the undercurrents were already surging to the extreme. An ultimate showdown unfolding under the grand curtain of the wedding had quietly begun.
