My Big-Buck Ex Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 3 Grand Wedding

It was a sunny day in A city.

It seemed that even the Gods had arrived to bless the grand wedding!

The melodious sounds of the Wedding March filled the air in the Yu Manor. Happy guests were seated surrounded by various flowers. It was an honor for them to witness this special wedding.

Wearing a white wedding dress, Windy looked as beautiful as a heavenly angel. She was glowing as her smile lit up her eyes. She held her father's arm and slowly walked along the long red carpet towards the handsome man in a white suit. She felt warm and happy inside.

Looking at Windy walking towards him, Shawn smiled too. However, his smile was stiff and there was an imperceptible coldness on his seemingly happy face. He was going to end up marrying the woman he didn't love.

As the bride approached him, he concealed his unhappiness and put on a charming smile. His irresistible aura and elegance eclipsed everything else around him.

"Shawn, I'm giving my Windy to you. From now on, I hope you will love and take care of her, and protect her honor."

said Henry Fu, feeling emotional about his daughter. He was excited, but at the same time, he was reluctant to leave his little girl. Pushing aside the sadness in his heart, he put his daughter's hand in his future son-in-law's hand.

Holding Windy's soft hand, Shawn looked at her affectionately for a long time and solemnly promised, "Dad, don't worry. I will."

Tears welled up in Henry Fu's eyes and he nodded, "Now I'm relieved."

The host, who was standing on the stage, announced with a gentle smile, "Please be quiet everyone. We shall begin the wedding ceremony of Mr. Shawn and Miss Windy."

There was a burst of applause from the audience.

When everyone settled down, the host looked at the happy couple standing in front of him and asked, "Mr. Shawn, do you accept Miss Windy as your lawfully-wedded wife in sickness and in health? Do you promise to love her, comfort her and help her? Will you be faithful to her all your life?"

The groom remained silent.

Shawn didn't speak for what seemed like an eternity, sparking rumors among the guests about his unwillingness to marry Windy.

Windy raised her eyes and looked expectantly at Shawn, who was a head taller than her. In an instant, her heart was filled with disappointment. She believed that she still had a place in his heart as he had agreed to marry her. But now, she was reconsidering the whole thing. What was happening?

"I do." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Shawn finally uttered those two sacred words. When he looked at Windy, a trace of misery clouded his handsome face, but was finally replaced by a gentle and intoxicating smile.

Although it was just a fleeting moment of disappointment, Windy still caught it. But it didn't matter to her anymore. As long as he said yes, she would be the winner in the end.

Everybody in the audience also heaved a collective sigh of relief at his words.

Windy looked at Shawn with a coy smile. The host turned to her and asked, "Miss Windy, do you accept Mr. Shawn as your lawfully-wedded husband in sickness and in health? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, and help him? Will you be faithful to him all your life?"

Windy and Shawn locked eyes. His deep dark eyes revealed a burning affection. Or did it? Perhaps it just an illusion created by her mind. She smiled sweetly and answered without hesitation, "I do!"

There was another round of rousing applause. The host enthused, "If no one has any objection, I officially pronounce you husband and wife!"

"I object!" Came the voice of a woman.

An attractive woman in a fiery red dress stood up. Shawn and Windy looked at her at the same time, and their faces darkened.

Ted Yu looked crestfallen. He almost expected this of Carol as he knew that the eldest daughter of the Fu Clan was not easy to deal with.

Meanwhile, the broad smile on Henry's face also faded seeing that his eldest daughter's theatrics had attracted the attention of all the guests.

Noticing Ted Yu's reaction, Henry admonished Carol severely. "Sit down and stop creating trouble!"

But she looked at her father scornfully and refused to sit down.

Sally Li knew that their eldest daughter was as stubborn as an ox and wouldn't be persuaded so easily. So she walked over to her, held her hand and comforted her, "Carol, today is your sister's and Mr. Shawn's wedding. There are so many guests here. If you have something to say, can you wait until we get home first?"

Shaking off her mother's hand, Carol glared defiantly. She turned around and marched towards Shawn and Windy. She couldn't stand seeing them so happy and being blessed by so many people. The fact that they were getting married right in front of her eyes infuriated her. She had thought she could accept it, but she realized she just couldn't do it.

Shawn was the perfect man for her and they loved each other. She was not willing to let him go just for Ted Yu's sake!

Finally, she stopped in front of Shawn. Gone was the poor sweet girl from the previous night, Carol scowled at her sister ferociously and pulled her hand away from his arm. She turned to Shawn with a doleful expression. "Shawn, I can't do it! I can't watch you marry Windy. I know you love me! Have you forgotten all about me?" she cried.

There was an uproar in the audience at this scandalous proclamation. Everybody was confused about what was happening.

It all happened so suddenly. All the journalists, who were invited to cover the wedding, raised their cameras and quickly started clicking photos. The son of the prestigious Dragon Empire Group was still entangled with his newly-married wife's sister. This was big news!

This was exactly Carol's plan. She wanted to use the media to make her relationship with Shawn public, so that everyone would assume that Windy was the third wheel. She wanted to embarrass her in public. Only then would she be satisfied.

The flashlights of the cameras were flickering furiously as everyone was gaping at the trio. Windy looked at her sister blankly for a second, and a flood of anger rose in her heart. She didn't expect her to pester Shawn even now at the wedding! She had underestimated her sister. She was so shameless. She didn't mind making a scene in front of so many guests and ruining her wedding day.
