Chapter 1993: Chapter 1994: My Own Heartbeat Is So Loud I Can Hear It

Rong Yan could hear the commotion outside even while still in the car.

The driver assisted them in opening the car door.

Li Shengxiao got out first. In his suit and tie, the handsome and extraordinary man immediately attracted a barrage of flashing cameras.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, look this way."

"Groom, turn around."

"Mr. Li, wishing you a lifetime of happiness."

"May you and the bride be united forever, live blissfully!"

After all, they were staking out the CEO of a multi-billion company, the man with the deepest background and strongest capability among Capital City’s younger generation. Even though the bride had a background in the entertainment industry, the reporters who had been waiting since morning didn’t dare to act out. Each of them was as sweet as honey.

To be safe, bodyguards in the banquet hall formed a human wall in front of the hundreds of media outlets to prevent anyone from disrupting the wedding banquet.

The reporters scrambled for positions, vying for the best spot, but not one dared to push past the human wall for a photo.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, look this way!"

Unable to surpass the on-site bodyguards yet eager for a scoop, the reporters could only rely on sheer volume, hoping their loud voices would draw the main characters’ attention.

"Look over here, look this way."

Li Shengxiao didn’t even turn his head, his eyes fixed on the person inside the car as if she were a fragile treasure. As soon as Rong Yan lifted her skirt to step out, he had already extended his hand at the car door.

"Hold my hand!"

"...Okay."

Rong Yan had to temporarily let go of her skirt and take his hand first.

His steady grip guided her out. Just as her foot was about to hit the ground, she realized she wasn’t wearing shoes.

"Li..."

Her eyes, like rippling water, looked up in confusion.

Suddenly, she felt a weightlessness as she was lifted into the air.

"Ah." Rong Yan was startled and subconsciously wrapped her arms around the man’s neck who had lifted her, pressing her body closer against him.

Thump thump thump.

They were so close that she could hear the clear sound of a heartbeat in her ear.

Rong Yan’s cheeks flushed red, and her breath intermingled. She couldn’t even tell if the heartbeat she was hearing was his or her own.

"Hold me tight."

Li Shengxiao supported her further up, allowing her to be more comfortable in his embrace. His voice, hoarse yet pleasant, seemed to breathe right into her ear, causing Rong Yan’s heartbeat to quicken suddenly, pounding as if it would burst out of her chest in an intense and rebellious rhythm.

She quietly covered her heart with her hand, burying her head as she softly chided, "Even if you’re moved, there’s no need to beat like this, it’s so disappointing. Stop it."

Despite her words, her body wouldn’t listen. The more she cared, the more pronounced the thumping became.

Thump thump thump.

It was like drumbeats hitting a big drum; the sound was so loud she worried he might hear it too.

Thinking of her own lack of composure, Rong Yan felt her ears burning hot, almost on fire. She wrapped her arms tighter around his neck, trying to move away.

"Uh, Li Shengxiao, you can put me down. I’ll walk in myself."

"You’re not wearing shoes, how would you walk?"

Consumed by thoughts of her embarrassing heartbeat, Rong Yan feared he might hear it and didn’t pay attention to what he said. She struggled even more than before. "Please let me down, your carrying me like this feels weird, I can walk on my own."

Li Shengxiao gave her a light pat on her hip and frowned, "The ground is cold, and you’re not wearing shoes. You want to walk? Aren’t you afraid of having a stomach ache when your period comes?"

Rong Yan had suffered from a cold constitution since she was young, lacking female elder care during her adolescent years. When she had her first period, she had to buy sanitary pads by herself.
