Chapter 534: Chapter 534: You Never Said You Were Getting Married!
Having recited their vows, the church returned to silence.
Tang Li reopened her eyes and, through the thin white veil, met Song Baiyan’s deep gaze. There, she glimpsed an emotion beyond gentleness, which made her feel shy: “The vows I saw over there, as for the veil, it might have been left here by someone.”
Tang Li wanted to pull her hand back from the Bible.
But her wrist was grabbed, and Song Baiyan’s right hand lifted the veil.
After the oath, it was time to exchange rings and kiss.
This was what Tang Li thought, while the man’s thumb moved from her forehead to her lips, feeling somewhat rough.
Then, she heard Mr. Song tease: “A bride who hasn’t reached the legal age for marriage, some parts of the ceremony can only be reserved for now.”
Hearing the word “bride,” Tang Li’s ears turned red too.
Before she could say anything, Song Baiyan pulled her closer, encircling her slender shoulders and holding her gently in his embrace.
Tang Li was still crouching, her chin resting on the man’s shoulder, her eyes slightly flickering.
By the time she recovered, she wrapped her arms around him proactively.
The next moment, the hold embracing her relaxed slightly.
Song Baiyan sat on the wooden chair, leaning forward a bit, his gaze deep and warm on Tang Li’s face. His left hand, wearing a watch, supported the back of her head, and as he moved closer, his prominent nose touched the tip of her nose, softly pressing a kiss on her lips.
Outside the church, the Special Agents had long since turned their backs.
Only Ji Ming witnessed this scene.
He saw Tang Li close her eyes, her hands embracing Mr. Song’s body, the veil falling to the ground, illuminated by the golden hue of the morning sun.
Then, quietly, Ji Ming turned and left to another side.
It was a kiss full of tenderness.
Tang Li responded instinctively.
Song Baiyan’s left hand caressed her cheek, like a stroke of love, the warmth of his palm like a flame kindling every inch of her skin, sinking her deeper and compelling her to respond.
Returning to the hotel, Tang Li still hadn’t completely shaken off these emotions.
After getting out of the car, she turned to look back inside.
Meeting Song Baiyan’s affectionate gaze, two pink clouds floated onto her cheeks.
As she lay in bed, memorizing what she had done in the church, Tang Li remembered Song Baiyan’s word “bride,” her lips curling into a smile, she wrapped herself in the blanket and rolled around.
Before falling asleep, she sent a message to Song Baiyan: “Remember to catch up on sleep after you’re done with your work.”
Song Baiyan received the message on his way to Buckingham Palace.
Ji Ming looked up at the rearview mirror, catching sight of Mr. Song’s smile after reading the text.
In just a few seconds, he heard Mr. Song remind himself: “In the next few days in London, have Yuan Qin follow her closely, make sure she doesn’t get lost.”
— Make sure she doesn’t get lost.
The four words showed deep concern.
Tang Li woke up from her nap to find it was already dark outside.
She went downstairs, left the hotel, and found a nearby restaurant for dinner.
After finishing her meal and returning, barely having opened the door to her room, she received an international call from Yu Sui, who was fussing on the other end: “You said you were going to London for a trip, but you never mentioned it was to get married!”
Tang Li was confused.
On the other end, Yu Sui continued: “Tell me, did you or did you not wear a veil and kiss a man in St. Paul’s Cathedral?”
“On Facebook, you’ve already become St. Paul’s Cathedral’s live advertisement for couple tourism, some foreign netizens posted the news to Weibo and forums, saying that St. Paul’s Cathedral opened its back door early in the morning and let in a couple from S Country to get married, holy crap, now Weibo is exploding, you know?!”
