Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go

Chapter 425: My Fate Is Mine, Not Heaven’s

Zhou Jingyi wore a white suit and a pair of gold-framed glasses, which made him look particularly scholarly and refined.

Mu Anhan stood at a distance and merely glanced over when her palm was squeezed.

Her small hand was constantly held by Gu Xiaozhan.

She retracted her gaze from the stage and looked at the man beside her, instinctively leaning closer to him.

Perhaps because of the upcoming event, her emotions were constantly unstable.

Having experienced the absurdities of her past life, she could finally grasp her destiny tightly in her own hands.

In this life, the course of events would no longer be dictated by others.

"My destiny is controlled by me, not by Heaven."

"Husband..." she lightly called him as she leaned closer.

Gu Xiaozhan naturally sensed her emotions, her unease, her tension, her confusion, her bewilderment...

Was she still sad about Zhou Jingyi getting engaged to someone else?

Gu Xiaozhan’s first thought was this question.

However, as he observed her more closely, she wasn’t sad because Zhou Jingyi was getting engaged; it was an indescribable fear from deep within her soul.

He wasn’t sure what this fear stemmed from.

But the only thing he was sure of was that he could give her a sense of security.

"I’m here." He responded softly to her, wrapping his arms around her waist, holding her almost completely against him.

The host on the stage blessed with a modulated voice, "Thank you to the parents from both the Zhou Family and Feng Family for their presence, and blessings to the engaged couple, now let’s proceed with putting on the engagement rings..."

Suddenly, a "bang" sounded!

The power went out!

The entire hall plunged into darkness, and the guests were caught off guard, with some starting to scream repeatedly.

Lie Huo and his bodyguards protected Gu Xiaozhan and Mu Anhan, cautious that in the dark, someone might take a shot at them!

Gu Xiaozhan almost entirely embraced Mu Anhan, ensuring she didn’t suffer even the slightest harm.

"Please remain calm, it’s just a power outage!" The host, who was startled a moment ago, quickly tried to comfort everyone.

Without power, his microphone didn’t amplify his voice, so only his natural voice was drowned in the guests’ screams.

People quickly took out their phones to light up the space, hoping the power would return soon.

Zhou Jingyi and Feng Siling, who were on stage about to exchange rings, were also panic-stricken.

Suddenly, a voice as if from the depths of Hell called, "Ah Yi..."

"Don’t come over! Don’t come over!" Zhou Jingyi backed away several steps as if he had seen a ghost.

The spot where Feng Siling previously stood, she had disappeared, replaced by a blood-soaked woman in a white wedding dress, standing there with disheveled hair.

Her face was deathly pale without a hint of color, and what flowed from her eyes was not tears but blood.

She stretched out her hand, her fingers devoid of flesh, revealing joints of white bone, "Ah Yi, you said you would marry me and have children; how can you break your word..."

"Is it a human or a ghost?" someone asked in the crowd.

"A ghost..." After someone shouted these two words, everyone scrambled in panic.

In no time, people were crashing into each other, getting trampled on the ground, creating a scene of utter chaos.

Screams and cries erupted endlessly.

But they couldn’t find the exit; they were running back and forth within the hall, sometimes getting even closer to the ghostly woman.

The host on stage was so terrified that he wet his pants; he could entirely feel the eerie energy approaching him; he wanted to run, but his legs wouldn’t cooperate...
