Chapter 10: Huo Cen, My Name

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The wedding started at 7:30 pm sharp.

Song Yunshu, who was wearing a white wedding dress, appeared at the entrance with An Linghe by her arm.

When the light shone on her, the diamonds on the hem of the wedding dress made her look radiant.

The veil barely covered her face, making her look dreamy and unreal.

Huo Cen stood in the center of the banquet hall with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. He stood there quietly like a prince waiting for his beautiful bride.

An Jiaqing, who was sitting in her seat, gritted her teeth so hard that they almost shattered.

Initially, An Linghe did not agree to her coming tonight.

However, An Jiaqing persisted and insisted on coming despite the objections from the An family couple. Eventually, they had no choice but to let her come.

But when she saw Huo Cen on stage, she regretted so much that she almost vomited blood.

The bright and glorious moment was supposed to belong to her.

The wedding ceremony went very smoothly.

After An Linghe handed Song Yunshu to Huo Cen, he stepped back.

The host followed the normal procedure. When the bride and groom were asked if they were willing to marry each other, Huo Cen said with hesitation, “I do.”

His calm and composure were like he was completing an expected official business.

When it was Song Yunshu’s turn, she was stunned for two seconds.

Her silence made the An family members below the stage hold their breath in suspense.

At this critical moment, if she messed up…

They were probably really going to become enemies with the Huo family.

Cao Qin looked at her husband nervously, only to see An Linghe looking at the two people on the stage with the same nervous expression. His eyes were fixed on them, and he did not even have the time to pay attention to her.

On the stage, Song Yunshu felt her hand being gently squeezed, and then she came back to her senses.

She looked up at the man in front of her and said, “I do.”

Her voice was delicate and soft, but when those three words came out of her mouth, the coldness on the man’s face seemed to have eased a lot.

After completing the ring exchange ceremony, the emcee on the stage spoke again, “Next, the groom may kiss your bride.”

When Song Yunshu heard this, she subconsciously took a step back.

What kiss?

They actually have to kiss her?

No one had told her that there was such a procedure at the wedding.

While she was lost in thought, Huo Cen had already reached out his long arm and wrapped them around her waist.

The man’s handsome face was enlarged before her eyes.

Huo Cen held her waist with one hand and the other on the back of her head as he kissed her.

His cold lips were completely pressed against her soft ones, and the man’s breath instantly enveloped her.

Song Yunshu’s mind went blank.

Huo Cen’s hands were shackled around her waist, completely blocking her way back. She had nowhere to retreat.

The spotlight on the stage shone on them. Song Yunshu pushed his chest with both hands, but to no avail.

Laughter and applause from the audience below the stage fell into her ears, making her so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Huo Cen did not show her any disrespect in public. After the kiss, he calmly let go of her.

His face was not red, and his heart was not beating. He was no different from before.

On the other hand, Song Yunshu’s face was flushed red, and her eyes were like a white rabbit’s. A hint of scarlet in her eyes, and she looked like she had been bullied badly.

Later, when they were toasting, someone saw Song Yunshu holding a drink in her hand and wanted to persuade her to drink, but was stopped by Huo Cen with the excuse that she didn’t know how to drink and had a weak stomach.

Song Yunshu knew very well that she couldn’t drink alcohol due to her pregnancy. Although she didn’t want the child, she couldn’t handle the alcohol. If she drank too much, she might make a fool of herself.

She had been thinking about an excuse to use to refuse, but she did not expect Huo Cen to take the initiative to speak up for her. It saved her a lot of trouble.

The wedding lasted until 10 pm.

When they returned to Huo Cen’s residence, Qiuya Garden, it was already 11 pm.

The servants in the villa had not rested yet. When Huo Cen and Song Yunshu came in one after another, the leading servant, Aunt Li, immediately stepped forward to greet them with a smile.

“Hello, Sir and Madam.”

Then followed by a group of servants behind her shouted, “Hello, Sir and Madam.”

Song Yunshu was almost scared out of her wits.

The An family was considered wealthy, but they only had two nannies at home. One was to clean up the house, and the other was to cook.

But here in Huo Cen’s place, even though he lived alone, the servants here ranged from the butler to the gardener in the backyard. At a glance, there were about ten people.

Song Yunshu pursed her lips. The sudden change in her identity was hard for her to cope with.

“It’s getting late today. Let’s talk about anything else tomorrow morning. Aunt Li, arrange for two people to go to Madam’s residence tomorrow morning to pack up.”

Huo Cen glanced at Song Yunshu and caught a glimpse of the panic on her face. His dark eyes remained calm, and there was not a trace of emotion in them.

“Yes, sir,” Aunt Li replied.

They arrived on the second floor.

The first room on the right side of the staircase was the master bedroom.

When Huo Cen pushed open the door to the master bedroom, he was greeted by a sea of bright red.

Song Yunshu, who was standing behind him, could clearly see the veins on the back of his hand that were holding the doorknob.

She stuck her head out and took a peek inside the room curiously.

The bed was bright red, and there was a pair of teddy bears at the head of the bed. The closet, television, and curtains were all pasted with red festive characters.

When she saw the layout of the room, she could not help but be stunned.

“Wait a minute.”

Huo Cen said these words as he did not care about the woman behind him at all. He turned around and went downstairs.

After a while, Aunt Li brought two servants upstairs and greeted Song Yunshu awkwardly. Then, she quickly restored the room to its original state.

When Huo Cen returned, Aunt Li had already gone downstairs with the servants.

Song Yunshu was still standing at the door in the same position, with her head lowered, looking like a student who was punished for doing something wrong.

Huo Cen frowned. “What are you doing standing at the door?”

Song Yunshu raised her head in panic, and her sleepy face fell into the man’s eyes.

Huo Cen’s frown deepened. As he loosened his tie and said, “Come in.”

Song Yunshu didn’t dare to delay any further and immediately entered the room as he request.

The original joyous red items were all removed and replaced with the black and gray ones Huo Cen was used to.

The room was decorated in a masculine style, simple yet stylish. Compared to the overly red color earlier, it had a little more personality and coldness.

Song Yunshu first glanced at the big bed in the room, and her expression immediately became embarrassed.

“Brother-in-law, my room is …”

“What did you call me?”

Before she could finish speaking, Huo Cen’s cold voice interrupted her, and his displeased gaze landed on her.

Song Yunshu blinked her eyes, and an awkward expression appeared on her face.

His engagement with An Jiaqing had already been called off.

Now, he and she were legally married on the same marriage certificate.

It was no wonder that he was angry when she called him brother-in-law.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Huo. I wanted to ask…”

“Huo Cen, my name.”
