CHAPTER 530: CHAPTER 530: ARE MY EYES DECEIVING ME?

Yan Ruyi curled her lip, "The Queen and Prince of the Morris Empire are here in person for the wedding; Yan Qianyi must be feeling pretty smug today."

"You just wait for me outside, don’t follow me in; I’ll say a few words to Brother Yao and then come out," Qu Yang said.

He was worried that Yan Yao, seeing him with Yan Ruyi, would be reminded of his past betrayal of Yan Qianyi.

Yan Ruyi let go of Qu Yang’s hand, "Go ahead."

She hadn’t planned on going in anyway; aside from her father, nobody there would welcome her.

She didn’t want to see Yan Qianyi’s arrogantly unapproachable face either.

Nor did she want to go in and make a fool of herself.

Qu Yang straightened his clothes and squeezed through the gawking neighbors, heading inside.

Yan Chuhua and a few others were chatting in the living room; upon seeing Qu Yang, Yan Chuhua immediately stood up and asked, "What are you doing here? I remember Qianyi didn’t send you an invitation."

Faced with Yan Chuhua’s undisguised disdain, Qu Yang felt a little embarrassed, "I... I’m not here for the wedding. I heard my Brother Yao was back today; I came to see him."

As a child, Qu Yang liked to follow Yan Yao around to play.

Their relationship used to be very good.

At that moment, Yan Qianyi, dressed in a wedding gown, descended the stairs, linking arms with Qu Yang.

Seeing Yan Qianyi, Qu Yang’s heart couldn’t help but twist with pain.

He had always looked forward to this day, eager to see her dressed in a holy wedding gown.

Today, he finally saw it.

But the gown was not worn for him...

Qu Yang forced himself to look away, fixing his gaze on Yan Yao, and walked up to him.

"Brother Yao, I heard you’re back, and I came especially to see you. We brothers haven’t seen each other for such a long time."

Facing Qu Yang’s enthusiasm, Yan Yao was cold, "I’m busy today."

The smile on Qu Yang’s face stiffened, "It’s okay, when you’re free, Brother Yao, let me treat you to a meal, and we can catch up."

"I’m busy; I have to see my sister off at her wedding. Please get out of the way." Yan Yao didn’t even bother to spare Qu Yang another glance.

Yan Yao had been very good to Qu Yang, his brother, but ever since Qu Yang abandoned Qianyi to be with Yan Ruyi, his opinion of Qu Yang had completely changed.

He would never forgive anyone who hurt his sister!

Yan Chuhua scoffed, "Did you hear that? No one here welcomes you; hurry up and leave, don’t stand there in the way!"

Yan Chuhua was extremely disgusted with Qu Yang, the scumbag.

"Sorry, I was disturbing," Qu Yang mumbled, leaving with his head hung low.

He hadn’t expected that Yan Yao would publicly snub him to such an extent, not even giving him a shred of dignity.

"Wow! Sis, you’re devastatingly beautiful today!" Xue Xiaoguang approached, gushing over Yan Qianyi.

Yan Yao looked him over, "And who might this be..."

Before Yan Qianyi could introduce him, Xue Xiaoguang quickly introduced himself: "Bro, I’m your brother!"

Yan Yao was puzzled; he didn’t recall having such a brother.

Yan Qianyi explained: "Brother, his name is Xue Xiaoguang; he’s my sworn little brother."

Yan Yao nodded, "Nice to meet you."

Xue Xiaoguang’s smile beamed brilliantly, "Nice to meet you too, brother and sister-in-law. I’d heard from my sis before that my brother is super handsome and my sister-in-law super beautiful. Seeing you in person today, you truly are a match made in heaven!"

"Xiaoguang, you’re certainly not shy when it comes to acknowledgments," Yan Chuhua teased, "Good thing there are no outsiders here, or I’d feel embarrassed for you."

Xue Xiaoguang said, "Having connections with Her Majesty and His Highness the Prince is such a good thing; of course, I’m not shy."

Yan Yao smiled.

Xue Xiaoguang’s directness and openness were actually quite endearing to him.

Subsequently, everyone crowded around Yan Qianyi as she got into the car.

From the rearview mirror, Yan Qianyi saw that Yan Hong had changed into formal attire and was sitting in the following wedding car.

"Why is he coming along?"

Yan Chuhua said, "Grandma just told me that it was Teacher Mu who invited him."

"Oh..." Yan Qianyi nodded, not saying anything more.

Yan Chuhua asked, "Are you not happy?"

"It’s not that, it’s just I have been struggling with whether or not to let him attend my wedding. It’s good that Ah Lie made the decision for me."

Yan Chuhua looked at the bouquet in Yan Qianyi’s hands and hesitantly said, "That... Qianyi, after the ceremony ends, could you... possibly throw the bouquet in my direction?"

Yan Qianyi laughed, "Yo, you’re that eager to get married?"

"Hey, don’t make fun of me."

"Alright alright, I’ll throw it in your direction later."

Actually, she had intended to just give the bouquet directly to Yan Chuhua.

But last night, Xue Xiaoguang had sent her a voice message, also making the same request for her to throw the bouquet to him.

Both were her good friends, for fairness, she could only let them try their luck and catch it.

Just, what did Xue Xiaoguang want with the bouquet? He didn’t even have a girlfriend.

Previously, she had heard Yun Mu say that Xue Xiaoguang seemed to be quite interested in Bonnie.

The wedding procession grandly set off.

Qu Yang watched the departing wedding cars, feeling a mix of emotions.

As a child, he never imagined that one day, when Yan Qianyi would be wearing a wedding dress, the groom wouldn’t be him.

His love had completely died.

From now on, he must become someone superior!

He couldn’t be like before, where even Yan Chuhua could shame him in public without hesitation!

"How’s the prep for the thing we talked about last time?" Qu Yang asked Yan Ruyi beside him.

"The timing isn’t right yet, next month Yan’s will develop a new drug, and if nothing goes wrong, it should still be given to Qu’s pharmaceutical factory for production. We must seize this opportunity!"

If something goes wrong with the old drugs, the blame lies with the pharmaceutical factory.

But if there’s a problem with the new drug, it can’t be blamed on the pharmaceutical factory.

"Alright, I will take care of the pharmaceutical factory side, you and Uncle Yan handle the rest, and make sure there are no mistakes."

"Don’t worry, there definitely won’t be any issues."

Yan Ruyi watched the departing wedding cars, a cruel smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

Today, Yan Qianyi is in the limelight, but when the time comes, she’ll be in distress!

The future is long, and only the one who has the last laugh is the real winner!

...

The guests had already entered the church, leaving only Yan Qianyi and Yan Yao standing at the entrance.

Yan Yao felt Yan Qianyi’s grasp on his arm tighten and asked, "Nervous?"

Yan Qianyi exhaled slowly, smiling slightly, "Just a little."

It was strange, she and Mu Yunlie had been officially married in the system for half a year now, and there was already the fruit of their love in her belly, but at this moment, she still felt a bit nervous.

Perhaps it was because she felt too happy at this moment?

"Don’t be nervous, Brother is here."

"Okay."

The grand doors of the church estate slowly opened.

Yan Qianyi, arm in arm with her brother, stepped inside.

The guests seated on both sides turned their heads to look at her.

But she lifted her eyes, looking towards the groom waiting for her in the front.

When she saw him dressed in a majestic military uniform, Yan Qianyi was startled.

"Brother, am I... am I seeing things?"
