Chapter 938 - 937: Did She Call Off the Wedding?

Mrs. Nalan laughed loudly: "You know me too well, my dear son. Let me tell you, I’ve been pondering what clothes to customize for our bride that would look nice, what jewelry to buy that’s beautiful, and what breakfast to make to suit her taste tomorrow..."

Nalan Ye Jue stopped her from continuing: "None of that needs to be considered. Clothes, jewelry, daily life, everything about her, I will personally arrange."

Mrs. Nalan sighed: "You’re overdoing it, but I also want to be good to the bride! I want to spoil her too!"

Nalan Ye Jue: "She’s my bride, not yours."

Mrs. Nalan: "..." Defeated by her son.

Nalan Ye Jue: "I’m going to the lounge to see her."

Mrs. Nalan stopped him: "No, the ceremony is about to start, and the groom and bride can’t meet at this time, or it’s considered unlucky."

Nalan Ye Jue furrowed his brow slightly.

Today, he had already heard the word ’unlucky’ twice, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, he started walking towards the lounge.

"Son, did you hear me? The auspicious time is near; the groom shouldn’t go see the bride now."

"I just know that I absolutely have to see her now," Nalan Ye Jue said firmly.

The feeling in his heart was growing stronger, and he must see her now, or the unsettling premonition would consume him.

Because he walked too quickly and urgently, combined with his knee surgery not long ago, his steps were somewhat unsteady.

Upon opening the lounge door, his premonition was unfortunately confirmed: she really wasn’t inside.

Nalan Ye Jue took a deep breath, his eyes resolute, and began searching from the top floor of the Nalan Family, personally checking every room and even every restroom.

He didn’t even spare any of the gazebos in the back garden.

Yet, in the vast old mansion, not a single strand of Qin Xin’s hair was left behind.

The auspicious time had arrived, and the old butler came to consult: "Young Master, should we delay the wedding?"

Nalan Ye Jue took a deep breath: "Let the guests wait."

The old butler looked at him with concern, unsure of what to say to comfort him: "Could it be that Miss Qin regretted it and wants to call off the wedding..."

Nalan Ye Jue suddenly lifted his head, his gaze sharp: "Impossible. You witnessed the battle the night before yesterday; do you think she would call off the wedding?"

The old butler stammered: "No, she wouldn’t."

If Miss Qin wanted to call off the wedding, she wouldn’t have come to the Nalan Family that night, single-handedly rescuing them all.

Miss Qin, with the responsibility of being the head mother, saved everyone, so how could she abandon Mr. Emperor and everyone at such a crucial moment like the wedding?

Nalan Ye Jue said faintly: "Mobilize all the servants and bodyguards, continue searching. Get me all the surveillance over the old mansion from the past hour."

One hour later.

The servants and bodyguards had already combed through the old mansion over ten times.

They found nothing.

Nalan Ye Jue was staring at the surveillance screen, examining each frame meticulously.

Yet, there was still no trace of Qin Xin.

The last footage of her was leaving the lounge and heading to the back garden.

She happened to reach a dead spot without surveillance in the back garden, where she disappeared and didn’t return.

But even if she didn’t return to the lounge, she would have had to go somewhere else in the garden to leave.

Could she fly or teleport?

Nalan Ye Jue stared at the screen, silent for a long time.

Indeed, hearing ’unlucky’ twice today had truly brought misfortune to him.

This is the damned curse of a jinx...

Nalan Ye Jue suddenly remembered who the first person to say ’unlucky’ was, and a thought popped into his mind.

"Go check where Si Moyu is, now!"
