How Did I Not Know I Was Married?

Even the bystanders began laughing.

Li Shengxia was married! How could the groom ever hope to compare himself to Yin Tangyi! Did she think that there were plenty of princely men in the world who would blindly throw themselves at her feet?

“Shengxia, why would you make something up like that, it’s hard for us not to call you out.”

“That’s right, we know pretty much all the bachelors in Y City. We’ve never heard a word about anyone marrying you.”

“Your husband must be an old geezer, right? Is it one of those ugly prudes Ting’er talked about?”

“Sigh, poor Shengxia. Being sold off like this at barely twenty years old,” despite her sorry expression, she could not hide the hint of mockery in her voice.

“Move!” Li Shengxia pushed off the crowd, she did not want to remain in this suffocating place a moment longer.

You want to leave? Wen Ting’er’s eyes flashed with a hint of disdain.

The moment Li Shengxia walked past the champagne glass tower, Wen Ting’er pretended to trip and bumped into the glass tower beside her. The tower of glasses crashed onto the floor, shattering into countless pieces—

She quickly dodged out of her way, while roughly shoving Li Shengxia in the process of doing so. Li Shengxia, on the other hand, was not so fortunate!

By the time she came to her senses, she heard an ear-shattering sound of something cracking. She instinctively looked up to be greeted by the sight of countless glasses falling above her…

She felt as if her feet were chained down, she could not find it in herself to move…

“Careful—!” Yin Tangyi’s eyes were wide open in bewilderment. Without realizing it, he began charging towards her. However, another figure was one step ahead of him and hastily pulled Li Shengxia away from below the glass tower!

At that moment, while the glasses were still tumbling onto the ground, Li Shengxia found herself in the firm grasp of Mo Nianchen. Pulled tightly into his embrace, they spun around several times before finally coming to a stop…

His handsome face seemed to dazzle under the splendorous chandelier. Every single detail of his perfect face was brought out, he was absolute perfection.

His facial features were extremely defined, so very devilishly enchanting, while at the same time carrying the chilling grace of the winter breeze. Perhaps he was the only one in the entire world who could so naturally carry two separate aesthetics of such stark contrast.

His slender, long, and powerful arms held onto her body tightly. They held onto each other ever so tightly below their waistlines, it was hard for the ones who chanced upon the scene to not have lewd thoughts.

It was as if time itself had frozen in place. The constant shattering of the glass tower seemed to compose themselves into a waltz…

Yin Tangyi silently stared at the two of them sharing a close embrace, the sight itself stung him. This man was one step ahead of him and rescued Shengxia…

When Wen Ting’er saw that Mo Nianchen had made his appearance, her expression was frozen.

How could this be, so tall and handsome! He was also…

The crown prince of the Emperor Heritage Group—Mo, Nian, Chen!

This man is Li Shengxia’s husband!? Wen Ting’er clenched her fists subconsciously.

Passionate murmurs erupted in the crowd when Mo Nianchen made his appearance.

“Crown prince…”

“It’s the crown prince!”

“Why would the crown prince help Shengxia!? She’s already promised to someone else!”

“Could Li Shengxia be married to the crown prince?”

“What! Li Shengxia is married to the crown prince?”

The crowd formed a circle around the two of them. It was as if they were the main characters of a play depicting the dreamy love story of Cinderella.

“You’re engaged to me?” when Mo Nianchen heard the murmurs of the crowd, he lowered his voice and whispered in a half-joking manner into Li Shengxia’s ears, “How did I not know I was married?”

Li Shengxia’s body became stiff and her face turned pale. What is he doing here? Did he judge her life to not be tragic enough? Is he here to add onto the pile of daggers? She did not care about how much humiliation she had to receive from other people, but she could not bear the thought of being humiliated by others in front of him!

He was going to expose her! Just like in the past, he was going to rip everything she cared about into shreds, he was going to deliver the harshest blow!

Li Shengxia’s first instinct was to push him off, but he hugged her tighter instead.

“On your feet,” he said smiling while firmly wrapping his arms around her. Whether it was intentional or not, he made sure to keep their waists pressed together tightly and she was filled with embarrassment and anger.

“What’re you doing here?”

“Don’t tell me you forgot about the shoe you left behind.”

It was only then that Li Shengxia remembered she had thrown a shoe at him before leaving the royal suite. That was why she ended up appearing before the crowd in such a horrendous manner with only one shoe!

There was no way she was going to believe that he came all the way here to give her shoe back! She was not so full of himself! Besides, she had used the same shoe to attack him!

As Li Shengxia was midway through her train of thought, Mo Nianchen had already gotten down on his knees. He had the shoe in one hand and reached for her ankles with the other hand.

“What are you doing!”

She dodged. He still managed to gently lift her feet and said with a calm, yet beautiful voice, “Since we’re putting on an act, might as well go all the way.”

Li Shengxia was caught off guard.

He was going to help her! This was an unprecedented miracle!

Amidst Li Shengxia’s daze, Mo Nianchen raised his volume just enough so that the crowd could hear him. He spoke in a ‘caring’ tone, “My lady, you are such a troublemaker. You can’t even put your shoes on properly when heading out, what if you catch a cold.”

The tone of his voice was plain but carried a faintly darling tone, Shengxia was not used to this. She had no idea what in the world he was planning.

What further surprised Li Shengxia was that Mo Nianchen had actually put on the shoe for her. He did it so cautiously as if he was afraid he would hurt her.

It was as if he had Cinderella’s glass slipper in his hand…

Just like that, he fulfilled his very own Cinderella fantasy…

At that moment, he had a faint smile hanging by the corner of his lips. It was like a fantasy came true, he looked like a true, noble king, only Li Shengxia knew that he was a heinous devil in disguise!

Everyone witnessing the scene was astounded!

The esteemed crown prince of the Emperor Heritage Group had set aside his pride, got down on his knees in front of a woman to put on her shoes for her!

That woman was none other than Li Shengxia, whom they had counted out!

That horrendous looking woman was the new darling of the crown prince!

What was going on!

Wen Ting’er was completely stunned by what she was seeing, how could this be! The others might not have known about Li Shengxia’s stepmother, but she was well aware of everything! How was it that she managed to find herself such a handsome and wealthy suitor! Besides, even if she did manage to pull it off, she still needed a nod from the crown prince!

To think that some despicable woman like Shengxia had managed to latch herself onto a golden prize like the crown prince. Truly what you would come to expect from a cunning fox. One second ago, she was acting like she could not be separated from Tangyi, the very next second, she turns around and clings to another man, the nature of their relationship unknown. What right does a woman like this have to claim someone of the crown prince’s stature?!

Mo Nianchen made himself appear like the bright moon; his presence alone illuminating the starry night skies atop the yacht. His dazzling radiance was utterly captivating, definitive, one of a kind.
