Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 36: The Wedding Banquet

The pen and the drug were both bought from the System Mall.

The pen is special, with an effect lasting only 5 hours. Once the time is up, the writing will disappear.

As for the drug, once used, any residue or traces will evaporate completely.

If you’re going to do it, you can’t leave any evidence or traces.

"As for the reason, I don’t want to say it for now."

"But I’m not taking revenge on him for no reason; these are things he deserves."

When talking about this, Gu Jia Ning thought of everything Wen Zhqing did to her and her family in the past life, emotions rolling fiercely in her eyes.

Her hand tightened into a fist.

If she told everything, who knows how Sheng Zexi would react.

"If you think I’m scheming and vicious, and want a divorce, then I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Sheng Zexi hugged her tightly, then gently flicked her forehead.

It hurt a little, but it stopped Gu Jia Ning’s words abruptly.

"I don’t allow you to say such things."

"Since we got married, we’ll never part ways. We’ll always be happy, walking hand in hand."

"Ningning, although I don’t know what grievances exist between you and Wen Zhqing, I believe what you say. How could I blame you? I feel sorry for you."

Sheng Zexi gently stroked Gu Jia Ning’s face, his eyes full of tenderness and affection.

He had seen the hatred in Ningning’s eyes that she couldn’t fully hide; it wasn’t feigned.

Surely Wen Zhqing had done something to wrong Ningning, which is why the little girl would scheme against him like this.

He felt both heartache and anger at himself for allowing the little girl to be bullied by someone else when he wasn’t around.

He even thought that the beating he gave Wen Zhqing before was too light.

"Ningning, no matter what you’re like, I like you."

"Besides, I’m not exactly a perfect person either. Don’t you often think I have a sharp tongue? And..." Sheng Zexi leaned closer and recounted how he had beaten up Wen Zhqing on the day of their meeting.

Gu Jia Ning’s eyes widened, then she couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

It seemed that her jumping into the river over Wen Zhqing had indeed made Sheng Zexi jealous.

However, since Wen Zhqing is such a scumbag, it’s good to beat him up a bit more.

After speaking, the relationship between the two seemed to grow closer invisibly.

"Alright, little girl, don’t overthink everything. Remember, I’m your husband. In the future, no matter what happens, just tell me. Also remember, no matter what, I’ll always be on your side, defending you."

Just like Sheng Zexi, the Gu Family member also had a characteristic of being protective.

"And you, all you need to do is be yourself, and be happy."

Be happy and be yourself?

Sheng Zexi’s words brought warmth to Gu Jia Ning’s eyes. In her previous life, wasn’t it because of Wen Zhqing that she lost her most genuine, true self?

She had dedicated everything to Wen Zhqing, losing herself.

"Girls who constantly frown aren’t good. It’s like being a sour pickle, wrinkled, sour, and scrawny, which isn’t attractive."

"Sheng Zexi, you actually called me a sour pickle!"

Gu Jia Ning brushed away the emotions just stirred, making a move to hit Sheng Zexi. This man always had the ability to ruin the mood with his words.

Sheng Zexi laughed heartily as he dodged, watching the lively Gu Jia Ning, letting out a sigh of relief.

This is how it should be. Gu Jia Ning shouldn’t carry so much burden; she should live happily, experiencing the joys and carefree life a girl of this age should have.

Actually, Sheng Zexi had noticed this a while ago. Ever since he returned and met Gu Jia Ning, he discovered she seemed to have changed somehow.

The little girl, for some reason, occasionally showed signs of age and sadness in her eyes, as if she was carrying a heavy burden of tragic affairs and emotions.

Even though Sheng Zexi didn’t point it out, he noticed it.

And it made his heart ache even more.

Today, he vaguely felt that this matter might be related to that Wen Zhqing.

It’s just that after the meeting ended, he had someone investigate the matter between Wen Zhqing and Ningning.

The truth was clear: the little girl was chasing after that man, and that cunning and deceitful man was leading her on.

He even coaxed the little girl to jump into the river for the sake of a job.

It was after she was pulled out of the water that her mindset changed.

The change was significant.

At one point, even Sheng Zexi considered some supernatural possibilities.

But on the day he climbed through the window with things in hand and saw the little girl for the first time, he was sure that no matter how she changed, she was still her.

And that’s enough.

As for exactly what Wen Zhqing did to the little girl that was so enraging, he’ll wait for the day the little girl wants to talk about it.

He’s not in a rush.

He and Ningning are already married; they have a whole lifetime to wait.

Wait for Ningning to tell him, wait for Ningning to fully trust him, wait for Ningning to fall in love with him.

-

Three days later, the wedding of Wen Zhqing and Bao Shanyan took place as scheduled.

Wen Zhqing was marrying into the Bao family, so technically, it was akin to offering a dowry when marrying off a daughter, and the Bao family should provide a betrothal gift.

But Bao Yingzi said that Wen Zhqing bullied Bao Shanyan; letting him marry Yanzi without further complaints was already good enough, let alone providing a betrothal gift.

Especially since Wen Zhqing’s family didn’t have any parents or other relatives present.

However, Bao Yingzi did say that once Wen Zhqing was part of the Bao family, he definitely wouldn’t lack food and drink.

Speaking of which, although the Bao family consisted only of Bao Yingzi and Bao Shanyan, because the two were strong and capable hunters, they lived reasonably well. Even their home was one of the rare brick houses in the village.

This time, they invited quite a few people for the banquet, with several dishes per table, and at least half of them were meat dishes.

Even villagers not particularly close to the Bao family attended for the sake of the food on offer.

After all, these were times when many families lacked clothing and food, especially meat, which was something you could only eat a few times a year.

This was a rare opportunity.

Gu Jia Ning also joined her family to check out the bustling event.

Seeing Wen Zhqing being brought back to the Bao family by Bao Shanyan while riding a bicycle, Gu Jia Ning was utterly dumbfounded.

Judging by Wen Zhqing’s expression, he was extremely aggrieved.

But it seemed Wen Zhqing couldn’t do anything about Bao Shanyan.

Indeed, sitting on the bicycle’s back seat, Wen Zhqing felt both embarrassed and aggrieved.

When Bao Shanyan rode her bicycle to the educated youth point to marry him and said they’d ride back together, Wen Zhqing, of course, refused.

But his refusal was useless.

Bao Shanyan, being much stronger than Wen Zhqing, forcibly placed him on the bicycle’s back seat despite his resistance.

If Wen Zhqing continued to resist, she immediately threatened, "Zhqing, if you’re so unwilling, do you not want to marry into the Bao family? Or would you rather go to prison?"

With those words, Wen Zhqing could only clutch his hands and stop resisting.

Gu Jia Ning watched this scene in awe and felt an immense satisfaction seeing Wen Zhqing’s aggrieved look.

Afterwards, she and her family went to the Bao family for the feast.

Watching Wen Zhqing and Bao Shanyan take vows in front of the leader’s portrait, Wen Zhqing was ceremoniously sent back to the room, akin to a new bride.

Meanwhile, Bao Shanyan stayed behind like the groom, eating, drinking, and chatting with the guests.
