Chapter 1 Attending the Wedding Ceremony
It was late in the afternoon. A taxi pulled up in front of the Garden Hotel.

A woman in a long white dress got off the taxi.

She was not very tall, about 163 cm. Her curvy figure was particularly eye-catching in her dress. Her long black hair was lustrous, with the ends curling up a little, which made her hairstyle look both lively and naughty.

She reached the gate of the hotel. Instead of walking in, she just stood in front of it and waited there, her eyes squinted and chin raised.

Spring breeze lifted her snow-white dress and long dark hair, somehow presenting a lonely figure.

Having waited for quite some time, she finally walked to the gate of the hotel and handed the wedding invitation to the staff.

The staff had taken note of her while she stood in front of the gate.

Now he could not help looking over at her—there seemed to be a trace of sorrow in her beautiful and bright eyes. She didn’t show any sign of excitement as other guests.

She didn’t look like to be attending the wedding ceremony.

The staff suspiciously opened her invitation.

Her surname was Lin and given name was Qing. She was indeed invited to the wedding ceremony.

Now reassured, the staff handed the invitation back to Lin Qing with both hands: “Miss Lin, this way please.

The wedding ceremony of Mr. Chen Qudong and Miss. Liang Ruoyi will begin at exactly seven o’clock.”

“Thank you.”

Said Lin Qing blandly. She took back the invitation and walked into the hotel.

As soon as she got in, she saw the wedding poster of Chen Qudong and Liang Ruoyi.

In the poster, Chen Qudong wore a well-cut iron-grey suit, and Liang Ruoyi was in a strapless white wedding dress. They held each other intimately round the waist face to face, and their happiness almost overflowed from the photo….

With blue skies, white clouds, green trees as the background, plus the excellent looks of the two of them, that was definitely a…perfect match.

Lin Qing felt a sharp sting in her heart.

But she was not the emotional and expressive kind of person, and calmness was the only thing that others could ever see in her.

As if nothing had happened, she tried to take on a light smile and walked into the banquet hall.

Just as Lin Qing stepped into the hotel, a white Land Rover swiftly drove into the hotel’s parking area. A few seconds later, a sharp and clear brake screeched and the car was well-parked.

Other people in the parking area could not but hold their breath when they saw the awesome yet self-confident driving skills.

Soon a man opened the door and got out of the Range Rover. It was a tall man wearing a smart suit.

His face was expressionless, and his eyes were cold. It seemed “don’t annoy me” was written all over him.

Perhaps it was because of his powerful vibe, when he handed the wedding invitation to the hotel staff at the entrance, the staff’s hands trembled as he received the invitation.

And after the receptionist saw the name on the invitation, even his voice was trembling, “Mr. Mu, this way please.”

Mu Li took back the invitation with a bland look and walked into the hotel.

The receptionist cast a glance at him from behind and patted on the chest. Gosh, even Mu Li, the legendary commander of the First Army of City B, had come to attend the wedding ceremony of Chen Qudong and Liang Ruoyi.

No doubt, the bride was from a rich and powerful family.

When Lin Qing arrived, there was still more than half an hour before the wedding ceremony began. Every table in the banquet hall had been occupied, and she took a seat at a table that was least noticeable in the corner.
