Chapter 1023: Chapter 20

Gu Xiaoning looked directly at him and asked, "Who exactly are you? Did you buy me with money? Are you marrying me because you can’t get a wife with a lame leg?"

"How dare you!" The person resembling a butler immediately shouted.

Gu Xiaoning was taken aback, why so loud?

The man, however, laughed, "Ha-ha...interesting."

"..." Gu Xiaoning was stunned, interesting? What’s interesting?

The man raised his hand, "Give it to her."

"Yes." The butler nodded, waved his hand, and the servant behind immediately came up and placed a box down.

The man explained, "Inside is a dress, and...in case you’re bored, I brought you a tablet. See, what else do you need?"

"A dress?" Gu Xiaoning frowned deeply, he really plans to marry her huh!

She opened the gift box to take a look, "Qipao?"

"Hmm." The man nodded, "Not to be worn at the wedding, to be worn during ancestral rituals. By the way, do you prefer a Western wedding or a traditional Chinese wedding?"

"..." Gu Xiaoning was stunned for two seconds, gritted her teeth and yelled, "Bullshit! I will not marry you!"

Bullshit?

The man was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "Ha-ha, you are really interesting."

He pressed the button on his wheelchair and turned around.

Gu Xiaoning hurriedly said, "You’re leaving? Hey, let’s talk! I don’t even know you, why get married? Hey! Sir, who are you? What’s your name?"

She wanted to rush forward but was blocked by the butler.

"Young Madam, you better rest well!"

The butler called her Young Madam, but his hands were not polite at all, directly pushing Gu Xiaoning far away.

"..." Gu Xiaoning staggered, steadied herself by the bedside. Anxiously stomping her feet, "What is all this!"

The man in the wheelchair instructed the butler as he was leaving, "Good food...too thin, feed her more good food?" 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

These words...

Inexplicably, Gu Xiaoning felt chills in her heart hearing this.

Is she a pig? Feed her fat to slaughter and eat?

Gu Xiaoning simply opened the box, only then discovering, indeed this qipao-style dress is quite splendid!

The design, workmanship, even the buttons are impressive, is the trimming gold? So beautiful...but why is it black? Oh, the man said it’s worn during ancestral rituals, then no wonder. But why does she have to go through ancestral rituals with him!

Gu Xiaoning sighed deeply, feeling helpless.

Beside the dress, indeed lay a tablet.

Gu Xiaoning came up with an idea, immediately turned on the tablet. Can she download an app? As long as she can download WeChat, she can contact the outside world...

But, Gu Xiaoning was briefly happy for nothing. Tried it, but the tablet was locked, aside from pre-installed apps, she couldn’t download anything at all!

——

Le Zhengsheng just arrived at the hotel, travel-worn.

"Director." Liao Jingqing took his coat, "Gu Xiaoning’s whereabouts are known."

In the scorching weather, Le Zhengsheng removed his coat, one hand on his waist, nodding, "Where?"

The other hand raised holding a bottle of mineral water, neck tilted back.

"Uh, Miss Gu Xiaoning...is getting married!"

"Pfft..." Le Zhengsheng sprayed out a mouthful of water, utterly shocked, "What?"

...

In this world, there’s no place Le Zhengsheng wants to go but can’t. Although he’s a local squire, Le Zhengsheng still received an invitation to the engagement party.

Looking at the invitation, Le Zhengsheng was confused, what’s going on? Did they all miscalculate? Ningning was just abducted to marry someone? Could it really be that simple?

Though he became famous young, this time he was utterly clueless.

No matter what, he must crash in...

Facing the mirror, Le Zhengsheng straightened his suit...keep in mind, he’s going to snatch the bride!

Arriving at the place, indeed it was the local elite. Just judging by the mansion, one could see there was substance.

When Le Zhengsheng arrived, the entrance was busy, very lively.

Liao Jingqing handed over the invitation, the butler glanced at Le Zhengsheng, smiling widely, "Honored guest, please come inside."

Le Zhengsheng took Liao Jingqing in smoothly, inside was full of joy, indeed looking like a wedding.

But, where is Gu Xiaoning?

Le Zhengsheng and Liao Jingqing found a seat to sit down, not knowing the person’s whereabouts, unable to act rashly.

During this time, Gu Xiaoning was still struggling; she was forced into the dress by the servants! What to do? She really had no way out! She couldn’t fight back, couldn’t escape.

"Young Madam, it’s time to go out."

The butler came with people, "Please—"

Gu Xiaoning glared at him, helplessly, "Let go of me, I can walk by myself!"

She stubbornly shook herself free, walked out on her own.

At the archway, she met the man in the wheelchair.

The man held out his hand towards her, "Come."

Gu Xiaoning was astonished, why should she go over?

"Who exactly are you?"

The man smirked, "Your future husband."

"..." Gu Xiaoning rolled her eyes, is this person deaf to human words!

The man held Gu Xiaoning’s hand, "Don’t fuss, be good...we’re about to go for the ancestral rites."

"Let go." Gu Xiaoning tried to break free but realized, this man’s hand was like a clamp, totally unable to break free!

This cripple, such strength? Like a martial artist! Suddenly, Gu Xiaoning felt a bit scared, she wondered if this man wasn’t just simply buying a bride, but some kind of conspiracy.

The man appeared effortless, "Let’s go, to the ancestral hall."

...

In the front yard, Liao Jingqing brought news, leaning close to Le Zhengsheng’s ear.

"Director, the host of the front yard feast won’t show up at all... Heard that at this moment, should be taking the bride, in the back area for the ancestral rites!"

"..." Le Zhengsheng froze, exchanged a look with Liao Jingqing, "Let’s move."

...

Gu Xiaoning was ’escorted’ into the ancestral hall.

Upon entering, felt an eerie atmosphere.

Gu Xiaoning couldn’t help but shiver, why so frightening?

"Kneel down!"

Suddenly, her knee was kicked hard. Gu Xiaoning was caught off guard, fell kneeling, palms instantly scraped, "Hsss..."

In pain, she instinctively covered her stomach, suddenly looked up to glare at the butler.

The man in the wheelchair laughed, "Are you alright?"

"I kick you once, you see if you’re alright?" Gu Xiaoning defiantly glared, gritted her teeth.

In this world, she willingly gets bullied for... Besides Le Zhengsheng, there’s no one else!

The man laughed even more, "You are indeed very special, so...even the body is different from others."

...Different body from others? Gu Xiaoning frowned, caught this important information. Gu Xiaoning thought of something, "You said about my body...what do you mean?"

"Hmm." The man smiled without answering, glanced at the butler.

The butler bowed, "Yes."

Agreed while walking over, pressed the remote in his hand—a hidden door opened.
