Chapter 239: Xu Liang’s Wedding Begins

Today is an auspicious day.

At the Crown Hotel, Xu Liang’s wedding is taking place as scheduled.

Although he is just a lackey, the Chen family spared no expense, booking the entire hotel to ensure the wedding was grand and lively.

Naturally, many prominent figures from T City were invited, making the occasion even more impressive.

To everyone’s shock, the head of the Chen family, Chen Xiongtian, also attended.

As he calmly received congratulations from the guests, people couldn’t help but wonder just how important this groom, Zhang Liang, was to the Chen family.

However, what they didn’t know was that Chen Xiongtian’s dignified exterior hid a heart full of regret—

Why, oh why did I open that window out of curiosity yesterday!

If I hadn’t opened the window, I wouldn’t have seen my precious daughter being brought home by a strange man, looking so excited and happy!

If I hadn’t seen that, I wouldn’t have stormed downstairs to confront that man!

If I hadn’t confronted him, he wouldn’t have entered my house!

If he hadn’t entered my house, I wouldn’t have tried to threaten and intimidate him!

If I hadn’t threatened him, I wouldn’t have been beaten up in front of my precious daughter!

Chen Xiongtian glanced at Wang Haoran, who was chatting with his daughter.

You bastard, if you were just good friends with my daughter, why didn’t you say so earlier!

Did you really have to beat me up first!

Naturally, Wang Haoran was also present at Xu Liang’s wedding.

Not only him, but Su Yan and Su Yaoguo also attended.

In such a joyous atmosphere, Wang Haoran came to congratulate the newlyweds.

He approached Xu Liang and Shu Yan with Su Yan and Chen Muyu.

“Mr. Zhang Liang, congratulations!”

He joked, “This wedding’s scale shows how much the Chen family values you!”

“And you’re so modest, saying you’re just Miss Chen’s lackey!”

“Heh heh…” Xu Liang forced a smile while being held by Shu Yan.

He truly couldn’t understand why the Chen family suddenly arranged this marriage for him!

He was just a lackey using the identity of “Zhang Liang,” having only been around for a few days and merely serving as Chen Muyu’s driver!

How did he become so “valued”!

And—

Looking at Su Yan, who was nestled beside Wang Haoran, Xu Liang was even more baffled.

Isn’t Wang Haoran supposed to be the ultimate simp villain who ends up with nothing? How did he end up with the female lead?

What… happened here?!

Wang Haoran noticed Xu Liang’s confusion and decided to explain.

“Mr. Zhang Liang, I have to thank you!”

“After you came to me that day, the more I thought about it, the more sense your words made!”

“I’m so great, why wouldn’t Yan’er like me!”

“So, I immediately went to confront Yan’er.”

“I asked her if she really had someone she cared about.”

“If she did, I would leave T City and never bother her again.”

With that, Wang Haoran hugged Su Yan tighter and smiled even more happily.

“But…”

“I didn’t expect that Yan’er actually liked me. She rejected me before because she was too shy!”

Wang Haoran playfully tapped Su Yan’s cheek, and she shyly chimed in.

“Darling!”

“Mm, good girl, Yan’er!”

Wang Haoran couldn’t help but kiss her, then looked at Xu Liang with gratitude.

“Mr. Zhang Liang, I owe this all to you!”

“……”

But Xu Liang couldn’t make sense of what was happening.

This… this doesn’t make sense!

Wang Haoran was supposed to be the archetypal rich, persistent simp villain, always trying to win over the goddess with money and sincerity. How could he say, “I’ll leave”?

And wasn’t Su Yan supposed to reject him because she found him annoying?

How did it suddenly become “too shy to accept”?

What about Long Ritian?!

“System, this plot is completely broken!”

〈……Host, it’s fine. These events don’t affect the main plot, so don’t worry about them.〉

〈Just keep humiliating and surpassing Long Ao, and stay alive!〉

“……Damn it!”

Hearing the system fall silent after speaking, Xu Liang could only sigh in frustration.

At that moment, Wang Haoran and Su Yan were about to leave.

But just as they were leaving, Su Yan tripped and was about to fall.

Wang Haoran immediately caught her.

“Yan’er, are you okay?”

“Darling, I’m fine.”

Blushing in Wang Haoran’s arms, Su Yan couldn’t help but lightly complain.

“It’s all your fault! Last night… it was my first time! You weren’t gentle!”

“Shall I be gentle tonight?”

“You’re so annoying!”

Wang Haoran laughed and carried Su Yan away.

Hearing their conversation, Xu Liang’s eyes widened in shock.

First time… so soon?!

Oh my god!

Seeing his young miss eagerly following Wang Haoran, Xu Liang felt a pang of jealousy.

Why does this simp get everything?!

At that moment.

Shu Yan, who had overheard Su Yan’s words, couldn’t help but cuddle up to Xu Liang—”Darling! You need to be gentle tonight too, okay!”

“……”

Looking at Shu Yan, who was about to become his wife, Xu Liang couldn’t help but recall Su Yan’s stunning beauty.

His heart was shattered.

[Ding! Xu Liang is distraught and questioning life! Xu Liang’s protagonist halo -300! Host’s luck points +300! Ability points +30!]

[Current protagonist halo for Xu Liang: 1400. Current host’s luck points: 4000. Ability points: 300!]

Hearing the system’s notification, Wang Haoran was very satisfied.

By the way, Su Yan’s “first time” wasn’t a lie!

However, this first time was different from what Xu Liang understood.

This first time was actually “in the middle of the night, at the courtyard where she grew up, Su Yan held onto the wall… Wang Haoran worked hard… and eventually, Su Yan was so overjoyed that for the first time, she left a mark on the wall…” ( tln : they had segs outside.)

Despite Xu Liang’s reluctance, the wedding continued.

Soon it was time for the vows.

Officiant: “Mr. Zhang Liang, do you take Miss Shu Yan as your wife, to live together in holy matrimony, and do you promise to be always faithful to her for the rest of your life?”

Xu Liang: “……I do!”

Officiant: “Miss Shu Yan, do you take Mr. Zhang Liang as your husband, to live together in holy matrimony, and do you promise to be always faithful to him for the rest of your life?”

“I—”

However, before Shu Yan could say “I do,” an interruption occurred—

“Wait!”

With this loud exclamation, all the guests turned to look.

At the entrance stood a disheveled man.

Seeing the quieted banquet and everyone’s attention on him, the corners of his mouth curled up—

“I, Long Ao, object to this marriage!”
