I pushed Su Yu away, her words "You will know soon enough" pierced my heart like a needle, chilling my blood.
I looked at her; that enchanting face bore a faint smile, yet her eyes concealed a cunning I couldn't decipher.
"What do you mean?" I asked in a low voice, the surrounding noise seeming to mute as only her sweet breath remained audible.
Su Yu didn't answer directly. Instead, she raised her hand and gently brushed my cheek, her fingertips cold against my skin.
Leaning closer to my ear, her warm breath sent shivers down my spine as she whispered, "Hao Ran Brother, you won the race, but your life is just beginning."
She paused for a moment before adding with a hint of playfulness, "And I will be the most important character in this grand play."
A jolt ran through me, and I wanted to ask for clarity, but she had already released me and turned to face the cheering crowd, her smile instantly transforming into one that appeared sweet and innocent.
She flitted through the crowd like a butterfly among flowers, accepting everyone's congratulations as if the seductive woman who had just whispered in my ear was merely a figment of my imagination.
Watching her retreating figure, an indescribable restlessness surged within me; my instincts told me that everything happening tonight was far from coincidence.
I walked to a corner where Wei Dong leaned against the wall, a cigarette dangling from his lips. As I approached, he extinguished it and furrowed his brow.
"Old Wei, did you see? Su Yu..."
He waved his hand to interrupt me, his gaze deep like an unfathomable pool.
"I saw her. Xiao Yu is not simple."
He patted my shoulder, his tone carrying a complexity that hinted at more than just the race. "You won this match, but some things are more complicated than winning or losing."
Her face radiated a smile of happiness, yet her gaze seemed to sweep through the crowd as if searching for something.
I watched as she paused, her eyes locking onto a corner of the guest seating.
Following her gaze, my heart jolted—Su Yan!
She was dressed in a black gown, her petite figure appearing even more fragile against the dark fabric.
There was no color in her face, and her eyes were swollen and red, clearly having cried.
She stared intently at me and Su Yu, her expression filled with pain, despair, and a twisted sense of hatred.
Beside her, Duan Kai wore a similarly grim expression, his eyes betraying a hint of resentment and jealousy.
On the other side, Sun Kai sat in the front row, a knowing smile playing on his lips. His deep-set eyes sparkled with an elusive light, as if he were savoring this unfolding drama.
Everyone witnessed Su Yan's breakdown, and whispers quickly spread through the crowd.
Su Yu's smile deepened; she subtly curled her lips and cast a victorious glance in Su Yan's direction, brimming with provocation.
I withdrew my gaze and tightened my grip on the diamond ring in my hand. The cold touch did little to quell the turmoil within me.
Su Yu approached me, her enchanting eyes fixed on mine as if trying to draw me in.
The pastor's voice echoed in my ears, but I felt somewhat dazed.
"Mr. Sun Haoran, do you take Miss Su Yu to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love her and to be loyal to her, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, forsaking all others, until death do you part?"
I looked at Su Yu's face, so close to mine, where anticipation and mischief intertwined in her eyes, leaving me breathless.
Taking a deep breath, I struggled to calm the complex emotions within me and replied firmly, "I do."
A thunderous applause erupted throughout the hall as everyone stood up to cheer for us.
Su Yan's body trembled slightly; she covered her mouth as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
I slowly slid the dazzling ring onto Su Yu's ring finger.
The ring sparkled brilliantly under the sunlight, and in that moment, I felt as if I had truly become the groom of a wealthy family, the center of attention.
Su Yu's smile grew even brighter. She raised her hand and leaned closer to whisper in my ear, "Your rise is a game, and I intend to play it with you until the end."
As soon as she finished speaking, the guests' gazes became more complex. In their eyes, besides envy, there was now a hint of curiosity directed at me.
In the grand hall, during the wedding ceremony.
Wearing a tailored suit and adorned with the shining Aristocratic Ring, I stood at the center of the hall, receiving congratulations from everyone.
I was no longer that penniless nobody; I had become the groom of a wealthy family, the focus of everyone's attention.
Gifts piled high in the hall as everyone eagerly shook my hand, congratulating me on my "good fortune."
