My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 179 - 176: Uninvited Guest 1

Jin Muchi stood next to him, his handsome face slightly stiff.

"Tell me, why am I getting nervous about your wedding?"

Shortly after, Jin Muchi smiled slightly, exuding masculine charm in every gesture.

"Could it be too simple?" he worried a little.

"No, it’s perfect this way." Li Yanan’s voice was deep, magnetic, and hoarse.

The priest in a white robe had already taken his place, holding the Bible, and smiled kindly as he looked at the two.

Meanwhile, accompanied by Xiang Xiaokui, who was dressed in a pale yellow dress...

Lin Zhenxin slowly walked forward from the back.

Li Yanan turned, his tall figure standing like a pine tree.

His gaze was profound, yet rare tension flickered in his eyes, and even his hands and feet seemed uncertain of where to go.

This was different from the day they tried on clothes.

At this moment, Lin Zhenxin’s makeup and hairstyle were fully done.

Her cheeks were flushed, and she carried a smile at the corners of her mouth, like a budding flower, breathtakingly beautiful.

Perhaps it was the lighting; even the usually mischievous Xiang Xiaokui appeared dignified and beautiful.

Jin Muchi, standing beside Li Yanan, gazed deeply at her.

Then he inexplicably laughed at himself.

Looking at Li Yanan standing at a distance, Lin Zhenxin suddenly felt a trace of nervousness.

That feeling was even stronger than when she boldly went to get the marriage certificate with him.

The hand holding the bouquet clenched tightly; even Xiang Xiaokui beside her could feel her sudden tension.

"Don’t be afraid, he’s there waiting for you."

Xiang Xiaokui’s deliberately soft voice sounded in Lin Zhenxin’s ear.

And the man in the distance, as if sensing her unease, slowly extended a single hand toward her.

The palm of his hand had deep, steady lines engraved in it.

"Yes, he’s there waiting for me."

Lin Zhenxin laughed softly, as if she saw through the same hidden tension in Li Yanan.

The air seemed to be filled with the flow of happiness.

It wasn’t clear how long she walked this way before Lin Zhenxin finally arrived in front of Li Yanan.

She offered her hand to him.

In an instant, Li Yanan tightened his big hand and held her firmly.

The priest was ready, and Xiang Xiaokui and Jin Muchi stood behind the couple.

The warm sunlight poured over the four of them like a sacred halo.

"Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and cherish her in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, until death do you part?"

The priest placed one hand on the Bible, his expression kind, his gaze earnest.

"I do," Li Yanan said.

He had waited so long that not even death could part them.

"Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and cherish him in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, until death do you part?"

The priest’s eyes fell on Lin Zhenxin’s face.

"I..." Lin Zhenxin was about to speak...

With a bang, the church doors, which had been tightly shut for the wedding, were suddenly thrown open from the outside.

Dust hung in the air, glinting gold in the fragmented sunlight.

Everyone turned around to look at the unexpected guest...

With steady footsteps, a figure walked slowly against the light.

Li Yanan was the first to see who it was, his handsome, deep features instantly turning cold.

His hawk-like eyes fixed on the intruder without wavering.

Jin Muchi went into alert mode, and Xiang Xiaokui furrowed her eyebrows, clearly recognizing who it was.

Lin Zhenxin stood quietly beside Li Yanan, the last to see the face clearly.

It was He Bainian, whom they hadn’t seen in a long time!

"Li Yanan, you seem to be enjoying yourself," He Bainian said with mockery, his thin lips curling.

His leather shoes tapped on the floor with a crisp sound.

"He Bainian, what are you here for?"

Jin Muchi frowned deeply. This was a private wedding without guests, so there were no security measures.

That’s why He Bainian could enter so freely.

He Bainian didn’t answer; he just slowly rested his gaze on Lin Zhenxin’s face.

She wore makeup, and the fitted dress revealed her graceful figure.

There was a nameless fire in He Bainian’s heart.

And this fire directly led to his handsome features turning unpredictable.

"Little Kui, long time no see, you’ve grown up quite a bit."

He Bainian ignored Jin Muchi and greeted Xiang Xiaokui instead.

The last time he saw her, she was still very young.

Xiang Xiaokui pressed her lips together and said nothing.

"He Bainian, I’ve said everything I needed to say on the phone."

Li Yanan spoke coldly.

Lin Zhenxin was briefly stunned, then slowly realized that those calls that had upset Li Yanan lately...

Had been from He Bainian!

And the reason he called...

"Nuoxin found out about your wedding and was so upset she ran away from New York!"

He Bainian didn’t even look at Lin Zhenxin as he coldly delivered the message to Li Yanan.

Upon hearing that name, Lin Zhenxin’s heart skipped a beat, her throat tightening, and she couldn’t say a word.

No one else seemed to expect it either.

Xiang Xiaokui and Jin Muchi exchanged glances silently.

Li Yanan, his face dark, locked eyes with He Bainian, his gaze intense.

"And the last word I got was that she boarded a flight to J City."

"I think she might be looking for you..."

He Bainian’s voice was tense, struggling to suppress the anger and mockery in it.

Lin Zhenxin maintained a blank expression, her mind completely blank.

Even the priest on the platform was unsure of what to do.

Despite officiating so many weddings, none had ever been like this.

Li Yanan’s large hands, resting at his sides, suddenly clenched into fists, something Lin Zhenxin noticed keenly.

Regarding He Nuoxin, he seemed not to be as indifferent as he appeared...

Was that true?

"You started this; shouldn’t you give Nuoxin, me, and the entire He family an explanation?"

He Bainian sneered, the storm on his face mirrored in his ash-gray fitted shirt.

"Why should we suffer these years while you..."

He Bainian stepped forward, almost face-to-face with Li Yanan.

"Can still hold a joyous wedding?"

"Don’t you find that laughable?"

With every word, He Bainian’s repressed emotions were palpable.

"Enough!" Suddenly, Lin Zhenxin inserted herself between them.

Her almond eyes met He Bainian’s at close range, her clear gaze made He Bainian look away instinctively.

Lin Zhenxin’s mind remained blank, unsure of what to say.

The standoff persisted.

Xiang Xiaokui had wanted to speak but was stopped by Jin Muchi grabbing her arm.

He shook his head at her, silently.

This was something only they could resolve.

Li Yanan’s gaze landed on Lin Zhenxin’s back.

Watching her stiffly straight back, yet still firmly choosing to stand before him, emotions stirred within him.

"After the wedding, we’ll return to J City. I’ll have people assist you in finding her."

Li Yanan’s voice was steady.

But it was this steadiness that ignited He Bainian’s suppressed fury.

"After the wedding? My sister is missing, and you still have the mind to care about your wedding?"

He Bainian’s lips twisted, his eyes frosty.

His aggressive stance made everyone frown.

"If it weren’t for you, would Nuoxin ever be like this? You scum, have you forgotten what you said to her that day?"

He Bainian abruptly reached out, trying to grab Li Yanan’s shirt front.

"He Bainian!" Lin Zhenxin stepped in, blocking his hand.

"Since Yanan said he’d return to J City after the wedding, why do you have to be so aggressive?"

She spoke swiftly, her expression increasingly composed.

"Jin Muchi, please close the door."

Though these words were directed at Jin Muchi, Lin Zhenxin’s gaze remained on He Bainian.

"If you’re willing to sit down, I can consider you a friend, but if you persist, I’ll have to show you out!"

Lin Zhenxin said coldly.

Even Xiang Xiaokui couldn’t help but applaud her courage internally.

"Today is my wedding; no one will take my husband from here!"

"No one!"

Her eyes cold as frost, she finished her words, pressing her soft lips together in a frosty stare at He Bainian.

He Bainian was stunned to find that, in such a short time, Lin Zhenxin had developed a never-before-seen aura.

What had happened in Vietnam?

To allow Lin Zhenxin to grow so much so quickly?

Lin Zhenxin didn’t care what He Bainian thought. She took Li Yanan’s arm instead.

Turning to face the priest again.

"Please, continue."

Lin Zhenxin tried to summon a smile at the corners of her mouth, though it hardly succeeded.

"Uh... oh right, right, I’ll..."

The priest hesitated but eventually remembered his duty.

"Miss Lin, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To love, cherish and honor him, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, until death do you part?"

Though it was the same question, the atmosphere had lost its earlier harmony.

"I do."

Lin Zhenxin turned to look at Li Yanan, her gaze resolute as it met his.

Li Yanan could clearly read trust and reliance in her eyes...

Due to He Bainian’s unexpected arrival, after the wedding, all previous plans were discarded.

They quickly booked tickets for the next available flight, even though it meant waiting over two hours.

In the lounge room.

Xiang Xiaokui handed cleansing oil to Lin Zhenxin, her eyes full of concern.

While Lin Zhenxin, calm as ever, poured the oil onto a cotton pad and gently wiped her makeup off her face.

"Sister Zhenxin, are you okay?" Xiang Xiaokui asked cautiously.

Lin Zhenxin turned her head, half of her makeup gone, yet not awkward or strange looking.

"Do I look like someone who’s not okay?" Her voice was calm, leaving Xiang Xiaokui unsure.

"Actually, He Nuoxin..." Xiang Xiaokui began, only to be hushed by Lin Zhenxin’s finger on her lips.
