Can We Say No to Divorce?

Chapter 425 - 263: Love Most on the Line Between Life and Death

Bei Ran pushed him away in annoyance, her eyes slightly reddening.

"What’s wrong?" Gu Qingchen looked down at her intently.

Bei Ran was filled with anger, but she couldn’t let it out.

She had never asked him to voluntarily talk about his past, about the women he had been with!

At this moment, however, she found herself angry with him again!

Women are always so contradictory, telling themselves not to care about his past on one hand, while on the other hand being petty and making things difficult for themselves!

"Feeling upset?" Gu Qingchen’s gaze carried a touch of tenderness. Although she now had a powerful father, for Bei Ran, she didn’t care about any of that!

After all, what does a girl who grew up in a single-parent household and whose mother had passed away care about these things?

Bei Ran was in a bad mood because she knew that his ex was actually Shen Qingya, a woman of both beauty and wit, the type he liked.

Gu Qingchen whispered, "You can hand over the event plan to Wu Kang and let him host it! Dean Zhuang surely doesn’t want to see you unhappy either."

"I’ll deal with my own matters," Bei Ran said and turned to leave.

"Baby..." Gu Qingchen followed her, "I don’t like to see you like this, unhappy and forcing yourself to do things."

Bei Ran gazed at him, "I also don’t want us to be together just for the sake of the child. You need to consider carefully whether you love me or not."

After saying this, she left without giving him any chance to explain or speak further, then went to prepare for hosting the wedding.

Gu Qingchen got anxious when she suddenly said this. Could it be that she was mindful of Shen Qingya?

Zhuo Yufeng came over, patting Gu Qingchen’s shoulder: "Good luck to you!"

Gu Qingchen gave him a glare, "You’re actually enjoying my misfortune!"

"It’s your entanglement with your ex!" Zhuo Yufeng shrugged his shoulders, denying he was taking pleasure in Gu Qingchen’s troubles, "By the way, I saw Ji Su also came. I wonder just how spectacular today will be for you. Will you overshadow the groom?"

"What is she doing here?" Gu Qingchen frowned.

Zhuo Yufeng laughed, "Perhaps she knew you would be here, and she missed you!"

"Nonsense!" Gu Qingchen rebuked sternly, "Have we pinpointed the person sending those mysterious emails? When Bei Ran was paying respects at her mother’s grave a few days ago, she spotted a shadow setting animal traps in the Red Maple Forest! Is there a connection between these two incidents? Are they the work of the same person? And what exactly is their purpose?"

Zhuo Yufeng’s expression turned serious, "If we assume that the person setting traps in the Red Maple Forest is Qin Shan, and if his target is you, holding a grudge over your grandfather teaching you medicine. Now that you’re no longer practicing as a doctor, he should be pleased. So why would he send mysterious emails to Bei Ran? His goal is to get at you through Bei Ran!"

"I just feel that Qin Shan won’t give up so easily!" Gu Qingchen said, "He has been hateful for so many years, and even with Qin Chao in prison, he has yet to show up. None of us even know what he looks like now, what kind of person he has become? We need his DNA to prove that he is indeed Qin Shan."

"It’s quite difficult, like finding a needle in a haystack," Zhuo Yufeng sighed, "How can we dedicate so much police and resources to this?"

Gu Qingchen’s eyes deepened, "We can no longer afford to be passive, waiting for someone to show up. We must take the initiative to unravel this mystery. Now, with Dean Zhuang and Bei Ran’s relationship, we can take that active position."

"You’d better persuade Bei Ran to accept Zhuang Shengxian first!" Zhuo Yufeng glanced at his watch, "The wedding is about to begin, and I’m the best man. Let’s not talk about this now."

As Gu Qingchen and Zhuo Yufeng walked over, they saw the bridal couple making their entrance.

Zhuang Shengxian, dressed in a white suit, was somewhat rotund but looked rather like an adorable giant panda in his festive spirits.

Ning Shuhui, young and beautiful, wore a white wedding gown and looked up at the man beside her adoringly!

Following them were the best man Zhuo Yufeng and the maid of honor Shen Qingya.

Bei Ran looked at everyone; it had been a long time since she had hosted a wedding. Though today’s ceremony was a new professional milestone for her, personally, it was about a daughter hosting her father and stepmother’s wedding.

Her heart was filled with both sweetness and bitterness.

She wondered what her mother in heaven would think.

"Thank you all for participating in the wedding of Dean Zhuang Shengxian and Miss Ning Shuhui. All of you present are their relatives and close friends, and we all extend our most beautiful blessings. In this cold winter, a warm and joyous light passes through our hearts," Bei Ran looked around gracefully, "Now, we stand at thirty thousand feet in the sky, under the blue heavens, flying with the couple, carrying our sincerest wishes, along with our freest dreams, soaring among the clouds."
