Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Elope With Me?

Luo Tianying finally revealed the shocking secret.

Ye Xuanxuan looked as if she had been struck by lightning. "What—what do you mean? My sister died from an illness. I investigated that thoroughly a long time ago!"

Luo Tianying snorted. "An illness? Ye Shuanghua was the number one Divine Doctor in Da Xia back then. What kind of illness could she possibly get? She was poisoned to death by the Daqin Royal Family and the Divine Doctor Ye Family working together!"

A buzz rang through Ye Xuanxuan’s mind.

She couldn’t believe it. She refused to believe such a cruel truth.

Luo Tianying was drunk now. He reached out and grabbed her wedding dress. "You’re marrying me right now. I even have the marriage certificate ready..."

The two of them struggled.

A few female bodyguards nearby joined in, nearly ripping Ye Xuanxuan’s wedding dress.

Just then, with a sharp BANG, the door flew open.

Qin Tianxuan stepped in from the doorway.

By the door, two bodyguards lay limply on the floor, completely unresponsive.

Luo Tianying was stunned. "You—how did you get in?"

"I walked in, of course." Qin Tianxuan closed the door behind him and advanced.

"Quick, stop him!" Luo Tianying shrieked, on the verge of crying for help.

He was truly afraid of Qin Tianxuan now.

The kind of fear that made him feel like he was about to die.

Several of the Luo Family’s female bodyguards ferociously surrounded him, but before they could even make a move, Qin Tianxuan struck them down from a distance.

Frowning, Qin Tianxuan kicked aside the female bodyguards, who were as brawny as men, and continued forward.

Luo Tianying trembled all over. Ye Xuanxuan, clutching her wedding dress, was overjoyed. "Brother-in-law!"

That cry of "Brother-in-law" made Qin Tianxuan’s heart tremble.

Luo Tianying’s eyes went wide as he finally understood the relationship between the two.

"You... you’re Ye Shuanghua’s man?" Young Master Luo grabbed a nearby chair, but his hands were shaking so violently that the chair trembled with them.

Qin Tianxuan took another step forward, his eyes icy. "Get out!"

’What?’

’He’s not attacking me? He’s just telling me to get out?’

Luo Tianying sheepishly put down the chair and scurried away. The moment he was out of the room, he started yelling for people, his voice loud enough for the entire hotel to hear.

Ye Xuanxuan stomped her foot. "Brother-in-law, why did you let him go? We need him as a hostage to escape!"

Qin Tianxuan said flatly, "Luo Tianying is still useful to me."

’I have to keep the Luo Family’s young master alive. People this stupid are rare these days; he’ll definitely be useful later.’

Ye Xuanxuan, still clutching her wedding dress, rushed to the window, opened it, and looked outside, ready to make a desperate escape.

Speechless, Qin Tianxuan walked over and grabbed her hand. "What are you doing?"

"Escaping! Brother-in-law, let’s go together!" Ye Xuanxuan squeezed his hand tightly, her face now filled with joy.

’Is... is she trying to elope with me?’

Qin Tianxuan rubbed his forehead and pulled her back. "We don’t need to jump out the window. We’re walking out the front door."

"Ah!"

Ye Xuanxuan said anxiously, "It’s all Luo Family people downstairs! So many thugs."

"I said, we’re walking out the front door!" Qin Tianxuan shot the young woman a glare.

For some reason, Ye Xuanxuan, who feared neither heaven nor earth, seemed to instinctively lose her edge in front of this man. After just one glare from Qin Tianxuan, she obediently stood still.

"Let go of my hand and follow behind me. Are you keeping that wedding dress?" Qin Tianxuan asked casually.

Ye Xuanxuan glanced down. Her off-the-shoulder wedding dress was about to be torn off completely, but there was no time to change.

She ran to the adjacent lounge, gathered her clothes and bag, slung the bag over her shoulder, and returned.

She was wearing a pure white wedding dress and carrying a black leather bag, having kicked off her high heels to run out barefoot.

Ye Xuanxuan made a face. "Do I look hideous right now?"

But Qin Tianxuan just watched her silently.

His gaze was gentle.

’Xuanxuan and Shuanghua look so much alike, though her temperament is a bit more pixie-like and mischievous.’

’Right now, in her wedding dress, she looks so pure and beautiful.’

’It’s a shame Shuanghua never had the chance to wear a wedding dress. When we fell in love, we were both fugitives. Even our wedding was held in a small wooden cabin by Mirror Lake.’

’All we had were two red candles and a bouquet of flowers.’

’Shuanghua, how I wish I could have seen you in a wedding dress.’ A pang of pain shot through Qin Tianxuan’s heart, and he turned and walked out of the room.

Ye Xuanxuan held her high heels in one hand and her wedding dress in the other, following closely behind him.

Outside, the corridor and the stairs were filled with thugs from the Ye Family and the Luo Family.

They crowded the hallway, holding specialized telescopic batons and assorted wooden clubs.

They didn’t have knives or guns; they lacked the ability to possess such lethal weapons.

Qin Tianxuan glanced to his right. The elevators were also under their control.

Shaking his head slightly, Qin Tianxuan opened a nearby utility closet and casually pulled out a window-washing squeegee pole.

It was a retractable aluminum alloy pole, looking quite similar to a telescopic baton.

With a SWISH, the aluminum pole extended. Qin Tianxuan gently pulled Xuanxuan behind him.

"Stay behind me. If you’re scared, close your eyes. Don’t worry, this will be over quickly."

Ye Xuanxuan leaned against his warm back and took a deep breath.

She did close her eyes.

But she wasn’t scared at all. The man’s back was warm and felt safe.

Then, screams of pain erupted around her.

Ye Xuanxuan followed Qin Tianxuan step for step. With her eyes closed, she couldn’t see a thing, only feeling that they were moving very quickly.

In less than half a minute, they had passed through the long corridor and reached the top of the stairs.

"This is the staircase. Watch your step," Qin Tianxuan reminded her gently.

Only then did Ye Xuanxuan open her eyes and instinctively turn to look back.

She trembled, utterly shocked by the scene.

The long corridor was littered with bodies, lying every which way!

They were all the Luo Family’s most elite security personnel, along with an entire team of hired security guards.

The floor was covered in broken wooden clubs, and the air was filled with muffled groans.

Less than a minute had passed, yet this man had fought his way from the room to the end of the corridor, all while protecting her.

Qin Tianxuan wasn’t even breathing heavily; he was perfectly calm and composed.

Ye Xuanxuan stared blankly at the man walking ahead of her.

’He’s so powerful. I’ve never felt this safe before.’

The sound of footsteps echoed from below as another group of thugs charged up.

However, they cowered at the corner of the stairwell, waving their baseball bats, not a single one daring to rush forward.

Qin Tianxuan flicked the retractable metal pole again, a faint smile on his lips as he started down the stairs.

"AHH!"

A terrified scream rang out. One of the thugs at the top of the stairs was so frightened he lost his nerve and actually tumbled down.

At that, the rest of them threw down their weapons and ran for their lives down the stairs.

In an instant, everyone had fled. The path down the stairs to the main hall was completely clear.
