Because the wedding was done in a very low-profile, Gu Qiwu received the news the morning of the wedding. This was also when Ah Yong and the rest accidentally mentioned it.
“Boss, I’m sure there’ll be a lot of people there today. Do we want to go?” Ah Yong asked for instructions from Gu Qiwu on the phone.
At this moment, Gu Qiwu was having breakfast at the dining table. When he heard Ah Yong, he stopped what he was doing as his gaze darkened. After a while, he asked, “Can you check on the person that Mu Lingshi’s getting married to?”
Gu Qiwu’s deep voice contained unseen stress to it as his hand that held onto the newspaper suddenly tightened.
“Yes, Boss, I checked on that too. The groom is Mu Lingmo. He’s someone who grew up with Mu Lingshi. His parents have both passed away. When he was very young, Mu Yinan adopted him from an orphanage under Mu Tangchuan’s name. He’s always been very close to Mu Lingshi ever since they were young. Mu Yinan and Wang Hui have tacitly approved of their relationship. In fact, since a very long time ago, the two of them had already gotten together, so this is just a simple ceremony. They only invited some close friends and family, so no one else knows,” Ah Yong reported his investigation to Gu Qiwu in detail.
Gu Qiwu’s stern face became hard. “That means Mu Yinan’s marrying Mu Lingshi off to an orphan that has nothing?”
“I guess you can say that, but, Boss, Mu Lingmo isn’t a nobody. He’s a competent assistant to Mu Yuchen. All these years, whenever Mu Yuchen couldn’t make it, he’d come forth in his place. In fact, his background on the streets is probably no less than mine. When I was in City B, I heard his name from many people. They all call him Bro Mo. He’s one of Mu Yuchen’s most capable henchmen.” Ah Mo dared not hide anything from him. He silently revealed all that he knew honestly to Gu Qiwu.
“Even so, you can’t change the fact that he’s an orphan, can you?”
Ah Yong could hear a hint of hostility from Gu Qiwu, but he did not understand why Gu Qiwu was angry. In fact, he seemed to pay so much attention to Mu Lingshi. It was Mu Lingshi’s freedom to marry Mu Lingmo, so why did the boss not seem too pleased about this?
Nevertheless, Ah Yong dared not ask his doubts aloud. He only silently waited for Gu Qiwu’s next instructions.
Gu Qiwu fell silent for a long time before he suppressed the coldness in his voice and asked in a deep tone, “Has there been anything from Missus’ end these past two days?”
“Still the same as before. She’s not doing anything, but yesterday she gave Miss Lingsha a call. After that, I don’t know what they spoke about, but Missus was very angry. I heard from the butler that Missus just threw her phone to the ground. I think Missus was asking Miss Lingsha why she wasn’t going home to visit her.” Ah Yong made a bold guess.
Gu Qiwu’s eyes darkened, and he hesitated before asking, “Qi Feng’s probably landing soon, isn’t he?”
“Yes, Boss, he should be reaching City Z tonight. They left home yesterday. Qi Qiming delegated many people to escort them along the way.”
“Hmm, Wang Qin’s dead, so what is he worried about? Qi Feng’s much luckier than Qi Lei. Arrange for a few smart people to watch them from the side, but don’t let anyone notice them,” Gu Qiwu said before he hung up.
Bam!
After he hung up, Gu Qiwu casually tossed his phone to the side. His expression was a little gloomy as he took a tissue to wipe his hand. When Butler Fang who was serving him saw that he was irate, he quickly went up to him. “Boss, was the breakfast not suitable this morning?”
“Get a car for me!” Gu Qiwu ordered coldly, then went upstairs.
The weather today was not as blistering hot as the days before. Instead, now it was surprisingly gloomy.
Early in the morning, Ah Mo and Mu Lingsha’s villa was already bustling with activity. Their wedding ceremony was going to be held on the huge lawn at the villa. It was a very simple manor wedding.
They did not invite many people. They just had all their closest friends over. Zhou Zimo was the best man while the bridesmaid was one of Mu Lingshi’s former classmates whom Xi Xiaye did not know.
At this moment, the crowd that sat in a circle on the grass area had quieted down. The priest stood in front, waiting for the new couple to enter.
Wearing a perfectly straight black tux, Ah Mo stood on one side of the red carpet and was looking ahead. His handsome face had a soft smile as his eyes were filled with anticipation.
“The bride is here!” The emcee’s excited voice boomed as the familiar notes of the wedding march were played. The crowd quickly turned to look behind. Indeed, not too far away from the red carpet, Mu Lingshi was dressed in a beautiful white wedding dress, and with Mu Tangchuan’s lead, she slowly stepped on the red carpet.
The crowd stood up in unison and smiled at the bride that walked over.
Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye were standing by Ah Mo’s side. The husband and wife exchanged a glance and smiled at each other before continuing to look with anticipation at Mu Lingshi.
Zhou Zimo nudged Ah Mo before the latter blankly took the bouquet from the tray beside him and walked ahead.
“Father!” Ah Mo respectfully and gratefully looked at Mu Tangchuan before his faze shifted towards Mu Lingshi who was under the veil.
Mu Tangchuan smiled and nodded before he held Ah Mo’s hand and put Mu Lingshi’s hand into his. He gently patted them before moving aside.
When Ah Mo lifted Mu Lingshi’s veil, her eyes were already tearing up.
She blinked away the tears and looked Ah Mo who looked down at her. When he lowered his head to plant a kiss on the back of her hand, she sniffled emotionally and went up to hug him tightly.
“Let’s go!” Ah Mo smiled gently and studied her before holding her hand to walk towards the priest who was already smiling while waiting for them for quite a while. When they stopped in front of him, he read them a paragraph of well wishes before letting them say their vows.
When Mu Lingshi said “I do”, there was a round of joyful applause.
Mu Yuchen locked his fingers tightly with Xi Xiaye’s, and when he saw Ah Mo and Lingshi engulfed in fresh flowers and glittering confetti, a faint joy flashed on his handsome face. In the depths of his eyes, it seemed as if something had been relieved.

It was not a grand wedding but definitely a heartwarming one.
Su Chen attended it with Ji Zitong, appearing really good together as a pair. It was also Mu Lingshi’s first time seeing them together.
“Not bad, Bro Su Chen. Sis Zitong fits you really well, so only Zhou Zimo is left now!”
Mu Lingsha clung onto Ah Mo’s arm as they made a toast. She turned around and looked at the best man Zhou Zimo right beside Ah Mo who shrugged with a smile as he grumbled, “Each and every one of you is getting married. I’m really beginning to feel lonely!”
“You better catch up soon. I already told you during Ah Chen’s wedding that you’ll be the last one. I’m just that good at predicting the future. You’re going to be the best man again at my wedding with Zitong at the end of this month. Aren’t you tired of being the best man? When are you going to become the main character?” Su Chen raised his glass at him.
Zhou Zimo sneered at him. “Yeah, yeah, you were just like me a while ago, you bastard!” He whispered beside Su Chen’s ears and gave him a punch, “We promised each other that we wouldn’t forget about our brothers even though we’ve got the ladies, but I feel like I go through a break up every time I hear that one of you guys are getting married!”
“I’m straight! Let me tell you, Zhou Zimo, your mindset is very dangerous!” Su Chen squinted his eyes at Zhou Zimo as he spoke.
“I never said you’re not, but, Su Chen, I’m fond of you. We’ve been brothers for so many years. Don’t you know me well enough by now? I can’t get together with Ah Chen, but you comforted me and warmed my heart. I told you everything, didn’t I? I really have feelings that surpass our brotherhood for you...hey...hey! I’m not done yet! Su Chen! Where are you going!”
Su Chen dragged Ji Zitong and went away before Zhou Zimo could finish. Mu Lingshi could not control her laughter. “Bro Zimo, you’re still the same. Don’t make Sis Zitong misunderstand!”
Zhou Zimo coughed, glancing at Su Chen and chuckling. “She better misunderstand. I’ll never forget what he did to me!” He still remembered the incident from before!
Xi Xiaye giggled as well. She turned around and looked at the man beside her to notice that he was calm as usual with a tint of joy in his eyes.
“Zhou Zimo is pretty funny,” Xi Xiaye said.
“You won’t find it funny anymore when he goes overboard, Su Chen has been pranked by him so many times that he wants to kill him every time.”
Mu Yuchen understood very well that Zhou Zimo was just playing a prank and was restraining himself better, but if he actually became serious, Mu Yuchen would have to surrender as well.
...
Suddenly, Li Si arrived beside Mu Yuchen and whispered beside his ear, “Master, Ah Bao has news for us!”
Mu Yuchen maintained his smile as a cold light flashed in his eyes. He glanced at Li Si and turned around to tell Xi Xiaye who was greeting the guests, “I’ll be back in a while.”
Xi Xiaye nodded when she saw Li Si. She took his wine glass and handed him the flower tea she was holding. “You drank a lot. Here, have some of this.”
Mu Yuchen smiled and took the tea from her. He then walked towards the quiet corner of the flower gallery where Li Si quickly went over as well.
Ah Mo noticed their movements. He wanted to join them as well, but he looked around and stopped himself.
At the flowers, Mu Yuchen stood by the staircase and took a sip from the glass of flower tea, Li Si caught up to him. “Master, this is what Ah Bao sent us. Take a look.” He handed Mu Yuchen a small piece of paper, his expression filled with worry and uneasiness.
Mu Yuchen opened it to look, but his expression did not change. His eyes turned cold, and he quickly tore the paper up and threw it into a nearby trash can.
“Master...should we...?”Li Si asked carefully.
Mu Yuchen put an arm on the railings as he spoke, “Qi Feng is landing in City Z today. This is great news. I was worried that he’d never come back!”
“However, Master, Qi Feng isn’t the same as before. He...” Li Si was worried. From the news source, the amount of hatred Qi Feng had for his Master was unimaginable.
“No matter how powerful he can be, City Z isn’t his turf.”
Mu Yuchen then took out his phone and called Ah Bao who soon answered the call, “Master—”
“Continue observing. Don’t do anything without my orders.” Mu Yuchen issued a simple instruction and ended the phone call. His eyes returned to their usual calm gaze when he looked at Li Si. “Why isn’t Qi Lei here today?”
Mu Yuchen got Li Si to send Qi Lei an invitation to Ah Mo and Mu Lingshi’s wedding, but Qi Lei was nowhere to be seen.
“Oh, Master Qi went outstation to City B. He got people to send some gifts over just now. Qi Kai sent him to City B as they have plans to produce a huge budget fantasy-themed movie with a foreign company, so he should be there to discuss it.”
Li Si found out about this from Yang Sheng. Qi Qiming’s priority was Project South River No. 2 at the moment while Wang Qin had been the one who focused more on movie and television projects. Qi Qiming had been more lenient with Qi Lei ever since Wang Qin’s death. It was probably compensation to Wang Qin.
“When is he coming back?” Mu Yuchen frowned slightly and asked.
Li Si shook his head. “I’m not sure yet. I’ll call Assistant Yang Sheng and find out.”
