Chapter 46: Just Say the Word, and I'll Run Away from the Wedding!

Upon hearing these words, Feifei Shang felt a pang of shame deep within her heart. She truly was love-struck, wasn’t she? Until today, she had never pondered this question. All she had thought about was being with Haoyu Yang, never considering what would come afterward. She had simply believed that what she loved, she must have.

Xianxian Lin gazed at her with a sense of pride, as if witnessing a daughter coming of age. Yet, she did not explicitly forbid her from being with Haoyu Yang. After all, at this age, the more others try to dissuade you, the more you want to do it.

Lin Xianxian calmly said, “Anything that makes you hesitate means that deep down, you don’t truly want it. If you really can’t decide, then imagine life without it. Compare that with life having it— which is more acceptable to you?”

She patted Feifei Shang’s shoulder gently. “Since you’re hesitant, why not take some distance for a while? Do other things. Perhaps some distance will give you clarity.”

“You’re about to graduate soon. How about I send you on a graduation trip you’ll never regret?”

Lin Xianxian winked. “I have friends all over the country. Wherever you go, I can find you a trustworthy guide!”

Feifei Shang felt her heart stir. After chasing Haoyu Yang for so long, suddenly hearing her own thoughts about their future left her confused. She didn’t want to follow the so-called storyline, but having persisted for so long, it had become ingrained in her very nature. She simply couldn’t let go all at once.

Perhaps it would be better to follow Lin Xianxian’s suggestion—use the graduation trip as an excuse to leave for a while. To truly experience what life without Haoyu Yang would be like. Could she leave him? If she did, would she be unhappy?

Moreover, it would be a chance to see if Haoyu Yang really liked her, or if, as Lin Xianxian had said, everything was just a scheme to use her. Maybe he only wanted to become family with Qin Xinxia, so that he could see her more often in the future...

At the thought of this, Feifei Shang’s heart ached again. Suppressing her emotions, she nodded firmly. “Alright. Then... please arrange my schedule to be as full as possible.” That way, she might not have time to think about Haoyu Yang.

“Also... I want to go as soon as possible, right after I officially graduate next week,” she said.

Lin Xianxian agreed readily.

[Perfect, now Feifei Shang can consider the possibility of distancing herself from the phoenix man! I hope she can break free from the plot’s constraints. Though I don’t know what suddenly made her question things, I must say, the person who made her think this way is truly amazing!]

Just then, Yang Shang was about to knock on the door when he heard these words. A smile blossomed in his eyes.

Yes, that person was truly wonderful!

The next day, at the wedding venue.

Lin Xianxian wore a breathtakingly beautiful wedding gown and, looking at herself in the mirror, even she was stunned by her own appearance.

[Wow, I’m truly a celestial fairy, the essence of an elf! What a peerless beauty capable of toppling kingdoms! That fool Beiming Shang is blind not to love me!]

[At least our Uncle Shang has good taste. Hehe, I have good taste too. After all, Shang Yang’s looks and character perfectly match my aesthetic!]

Hearing this, Yang Shang smiled slightly. Although he didn’t go inside, he was close enough to the bride’s dressing room to hear everything Lin Xianxian was thinking.

[Host, admire your beauty later. Don’t forget, you still have to follow the plot today.]

The system’s reminder came at an awkward time.

A wedding and still following a plot? Yang Shang frowned.

Lin Xianxian sighed.

[This is my wedding with Yang Shang. Why must I follow a plot... How annoying! I just want to finish this wedding quickly and have Yang Shang fulfill his marital duties... Ah, those eight-pack abs...]

[Even if I can’t eat, I should at least be able to touch those abs, right?]

Yang Shang: “...”

[Host, don’t be silly. Forget about the bridal chamber. Today, you even have to pretend to want to back out at the last moment, crying and begging the male lead. The key line is: ‘If you say the word, I will run away from the wedding!’]

[And this line must be overheard by Uncle Shang!]

“What?!” Lin Xianxian’s mind exploded in agony.

[System, you’re ruining me! If I have to follow this awful plot and have Yang Shang hear it, then he’ll never truly see me as his wife! When will I ever get to touch those abs...]

Yang Shang was silent for a few seconds, then glanced down at his abdomen.

Eight-pack abs...

Have I been eating too much lately? Should I control my diet? Or maybe exercise more?

In the dressing room, after futilely protesting, Lin Xianxian obediently followed the plot. She secretly found Beiming Shang when he was alone, eyes red, and said:

“Beiming, I’m about to marry your uncle soon. I will become your aunt... Do you really... not mind?”

As expected of the male lead, even after being stunned by Lin Xianxian in her wedding dress, his eyes flashing with admiration, when he heard this, his face was full of disgust.

“I mind.”

Lin Xianxian’s eyes lit up instantly.

“Then take me away...”

Before she could finish, Beiming Shang continued:

“A woman like you becoming my aunt? Just the thought of having to see you often and respectfully call you ‘aunt’ makes me sick! Saying I don’t mind is a lie. I wish I could ruin this wedding right now and have my uncle marry someone else...”

The smile vanished from Lin Xianxian’s face.

She looked at Beiming Shang in disbelief, trembling as she grabbed his arm just as he was about to walk away.

“I don’t believe it... You used to be so good to me. Before Qin Xinxia appeared, I was the only woman you were close to... You clearly had feelings for me!”

“Beiming, I know you’re blinded by the novelty of some fresh flower outside, but it’s just a fleeting fancy. Sooner or later, you’ll realize I’m the one who truly suits you as a wife...”

“Beiming, time is running out. I’m about to hold my wedding with your uncle... But if you say just one word, I will run away from the wedding!”

Her voice was almost pleading.

“Take me away, please?”

According to the plot, Lin Xianxian should be filled with regret and panic at this moment.

She didn’t want to marry Yang Shang at all, regretting how easily she had agreed to marry him just to spite Beiming Shang...

She couldn’t even imagine what it would feel like to marry someone so much older, the uncle of the man she loved, and to hear her beloved call her “aunt”...

Thus, she showed this rare moment of vulnerability.

This was the last time in the entire story that Lin Xianxian, the villainous supporting character, appeared so fragile.

From then on, after officially becoming the male lead’s uncle’s wife, the villainess would truly lose her mind!
