Gu Annan paused mid-step, glancing hurriedly, feeling a sense of familiarity with the child.
But before he could think further, Xu Yuan’s voice came from the restroom, "Have you gone mad? What time is it? Get out there quickly!"
"Do you think I’m still going to get married? You fool! In this life, apart from you, I will definitely not marry another woman!"
Shuman also rushed over and upon hearing Shao Zhixing’s voice, her complexion turned pale.
Shao Zhixing was today’s protagonist, the groom, yet he was saying he wouldn’t get married?!
Shuman wanted to stop this, as today’s bride was her friend. It would be a huge scandal to be left at the altar on her wedding day—how could she ever hold her head up in Manchester again?
"Brother Gu," she said, seeing Gu Annan inexplicably stop in his tracks, urging him, "Brother Gu, please go and see what’s happening. The wedding is about to officially start; we can’t have this chaos."
Gu Annan wanted to take a closer look at the boy but found that he had turned tail and run.
He knitted his brows tightly, determined to find the child later.
Upon entering the restroom, the two inside were disheveled, clearly having been through a heated confrontation.
Xu Yuan just wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground, quickly covering up her clothes.
Shao Zhixing’s face was tense, and there was a bit of blood on his mouth, which he slowly wiped off in front of the mirror.
Looking into the mirror at the person who had come in, he asked, "What is it?"
Gu Annan looked composed, even not very surprised, "Found a nice spot, didn’t you? Wouldn’t it be better to go upstairs and get a room?"
"Brother Gu, how can you say such a thing?" Shuman looked at the situation and glanced at Xu Yuan, then at Shao Zhixing, "During your wedding, how could you end up ? Getting caught wouldn’t look good for either family. Let’s not talk about this outside; go change your clothes quickly."
After Shao Zhixing had wiped the blood from his lips, the sinister red made him appear even more wickedly handsome.
His face was smiling, but the smile was severe, "Change clothes for what? To get married? Sorry, I haven’t even proposed to my girlfriend yet. No wedding dress, no ring, let’s pick another day!"
"Shao Zhixing, are you calling off the wedding?" Shuman saw that he was not joking at all.
"A twisted melon is not sweet. If I don’t like her, I just don’t. Getting married would just waste each of our time. Why bother? What do you think, Miss Shuman?" As Shao Zhixing spoke, he meaningfully shifted his gaze from Shuman to Gu Annan.
,Outside came several hurried footsteps.
"Why is everyone here?" Ji Shaoyang entered first, completely unaware of what had happened.
This was a bit... chaotic, wasn’t it?
Why were four people in the restroom, and among them, three were disheveled?
Gu Annan was relatively less disordered; just his shirt was a bit messy. But what was he doing interfering?
Lu Wanwan halted in her tracks when she saw Gu Annan and Shuman.
Gu Annan turned and looked at her.
Seeing the disorder on Gu Annan’s clothes, she instinctively furrowed her brows and immediately turned to Xu Yuan, "What’s going on?"
She quickly stepped forward to shield Xu Yuan, speaking sharply to Shao Zhixing, "Give me the clothes."
Shao Zhixing, seeing the torn clothes on Xu Yuan, obediently took off his jacket.
Staring at the silent Xu Yuan, he said to Lu Wanwan, "Take her away first. I don’t want this being blamed on her. I’ll handle the rest. What just happened, none of you are allowed to speak of it!"
Though he spoke to everyone, his gaze was fixed solely on Shuman.
