A deafening applause was wht came after Louis and Manon stopped their dance
Their chemistry was so real that people couldn't help but applaud and cheer.
After catching his breath, Louis reached out to the host next to him, indicating that he wanted the microphone. Manon's eyes trembled, anticipating what he was going to say next.
"I believe everyone has heard something about the Malcolm family.
My wife and I have actually held our wedding, but it was sudden and the preparations were rushed, so many things were not perfect. Therefore, we have decided to hold another wedding next week."
Louis lowered his head and looked at Manon tenderly, holding her hand tightly and interlocking their fingers. "We hope you can come to our wedding next week on time. The invitation will be sent out tomorrow."
Manon gaze had been fixed on Louis, and she didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at her from the audience.
Standing in the audience, Alexxy face was full of malice, her eyes unclear. Listening to Louis words, the jealousy in her heart was almost uncontrollable. Looking at Manon, she snorted coldly, turned around, clenched her fists, and walked away quickly. In that moment when she lowered her head, the viciousness in her eyes burst out instantly.
After returning the microphone to the host, Louis led Manon down the stage. As soon as they stepped off the stairs, people crowded around them to congratulate them. Manon was no longer uncomfortable with the crowd.
The two of them went from holding hands tightly to Manon leaning on Louis arm like a little bird.After getting rid of the crowd, the two of them walked out of the hotel. Manon had drunk a little wine, her cheeks were slightly red, and she was unknowingly leaning most of her body on Louis.
Louis lowered his eyes and looked at the girl leaning on him, his eyes softening.
"In fact, the wedding doesn't have to be so grand," Manon remembered what Huo Jingheng had said earlier and became shy.
Louis raised his eyebrows, waiting for her to continue.
Manon lowered her head and said in a low voice, "For the wedding, it's enough to invite Grandpa and your relatives family. Why invite those people?"
After a pause, Manon continued, "Just follow the process. It will be troublesome with so many people invited."Manon said and waited to hear Louis voice.
He bent down to her ear before whispering" it's my wedding and I will do whatever I want "
"Why are you so unreasonable?" She felt a bit dizzy, and her tone was unconsciously indulgent.
Looking at the pouting little girl, Louis couldn't help but chuckle. He covered her head with his big hand and rubbed it mercilessly.
His tone was gentle, but his gaze held a hint of danger. "be good. You're a married woman,so you can't just go around finding other men."
Manon looked at him blankly. The alcohol had slowed down her brain's reaction, and it took a while for her to understand what Louis meant.
She slowly lifted the corners of her lips, her eyes slightly curved, and her starry eyes glittered.
"Louis, are you jealous?" Her face was full of teasing, and her tone was full of pride.
Hearing this, Louis lowered his eyes and chuckled lightly. He unceremoniously messed up Manon's hair with his big hand. "Little girl, where did you get the idea that I'm the jealous type?"
Hearing the man's denial, she wasn't angry. The smile on her lips grew wider, and she looked at Louis mischievously. Under the influence of alcohol, she slowly reached out her hand and poked his cheek, saying, "I just know."
Poking wasn't enough to satisfy her, so she reach out and pinched his cheek. After retracting her hand, she slowly leaned in to his ear and whispered, "But don't worry, Huo . I'm a person who keeps her promises. I promise that I won't do anything to betray you during the contract period."
Looking at the restless little girl in front of him, Louis eyes were filled with turbulent emotions. The warmth from her fingertips still lingered on his cheek, and he lowered his head to look at her little fingers.
"Apart from our engagement, you should also be careful of other men who may have ulterior motives towards you."Louis said , he can't stop worrying about her
Hearing this, Manon looked up at him with a mischievous smile, "are you one of them?"
Louis lowered his gaze, his eyes falling on the girl's high nose bridge. His lips curled slightly, making people feel breathless. His eyes darkened, as if a ball of fire was about to burst out. He chuckled softly.
He slowly approached Mu Ying and gently pulled her into his arms.Their breaths intertwined, and Louis lowered his eyes while the little girl looked confused. Seeing her like this, Louis couldn't help but smile.
Manon was stunned by his sudden embrace for a while before she realized what had just happened. Her face turned red instantly, and her eyes were filled with shyness. Feeling the man's gaze on her, she couldn't help but get angry and said, "you're bullying me"
"I just hugged you, I didn't do anything else, did I?" Louis asked innocently
"Alright, we are back, you should come down "
Before they will know it , the wedding day has arrived , Manon was in her room where she was being applied makeup before Mara rushed inside the room with urgency in her eyes.
"What is it? Manon asked.
" your father is here , he's insisting that they let him in "Mara said
Hearing Mara's words, Manon's expression remained unchanged, as if she had expected this matter long ago. She looked at her calmly and said, "Don't worry about his identity. Just let the security guard drag him out."
The methods of the CEO were really decisive and neat. Mara couldn't help but think.
After the makeup was done, they could go back to their own rest room but couldn't leave. After all, they still needed to touch up the bride's makeup before the wedding.
"Manon !"
A voice called out from outside door, and Manon frowned, displeased. She turned to look at the door.
Adrian pushed open the door and saw Manon sitting in front of the mirror. When she turned her head to look at him, he was stunned, his eyes filled with amazement.
He stood there, dazed, and the two people behind him thought he had changed his mind and immediately pulled him back.
Sophia's face flashed with a hint of displeasure. She had hoped that Adrian would succeed this time so that she could appear in front of Louis. "Brother, why did you stop?"
"Adrian, will you come back with me?" It was Megan's voice. Manon's eyes flashed with coldness. Were the wedding security guards too useless?
Hearing Megan's voice, Adrian suddenly came back to his senses. "Manon, don't marry Louis, marry me and I will treat you more better . Whatever you want, I can give it to you. Louis is just using you!"
He rushed to Manon's side, his eyes full of pleading.
Looking at his appearance, Manon's eyes were full of disdain. And when it came to using someone, it was probably her who was using Louis.
Seeing her not speaking, Adrian thought she had changed her mind and quickly took out a box from his pocket.
He eagerly opened a black velvet box and said excitedly, "Manon , look, I specially had someone bring this back from Germany. It's a limited edition that hasn't been released yet, and there are only three in the world."
Manon looked at the diamond ring and a hint of sarcasm slowly rose in her heart.Just as Adrian thought she was about to agree, a voice filled with sorrow came.
"Adrian, I'm your fiancée! How can you do this to me" Megan cried out
"Get lost! , you're nothing!" Adrian said as he pushed Megan away.
"Manon, I'll do anything as long as you agree."
Manon couldn't be bothered with them and directly picked up her phone to call security. "Come to the dressing room and kick out these three intruders. Anyone who didn't receive an invitation is not allowed in!"
Hearing her words, the three finally snapped out of it. Adrian still refused to give up. "Manon, this is a globally limited diamond ring!"
He didn't believe that this country girl wouldn't be tempted.
At his words, Manon sneered and slowly raised her left hand, revealing the unique ring on her middle finger. "Mr. Adrian, please take a good look. This ring on my hand is one of a kind. Do you think I would care about your limited edition?"
Her tone was full of contempt, and her eyes were filled with disdain. It seemed that Sophia was provoked by her words, and his face instantly changed.
She walked to Adrian's side and coldly looked at manon.
" you don't be too rude when you speak." She lowered her eyelids and glanced at Adrian, hiding the disgust in her eyes, then raised her head to look directly at Manon.
"How am I being rude?" Manon looked directly at the other party, but the disdain in her eyes only increased.
"My brother was beaten up. It was you who sent someone, right?! He had to stay in the hospital for almost a week!" Recalling this Sophia became so angry that she couldn't control herself. If it weren't for her brother being hospitalized, this wedding wouldn't have happened at all.
A hint of doubt flashed in Manon's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She smiled and showed a hint of amusement on her face. "Really? Was he beaten up badly?"
Seeing that Manon didn't seem to care, Sophia anger grew even stronger. "You sent someone to beat up my brother, and now you're acting like this? Can't you even apologize?""He's standing here alive and well, isn't he? Since he was able to leave the hospital so quickly, it seems like he should have been beaten up even harder, right?" Manon smiled and turned her head to look at Sophia, her face full of mockery.
Seeing how arrogant she was, Sophia couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "You bitch! Today I'm going to tear your mouth apart!" She rushed towards Manon, raised her hand high, and was about to slap her in the face.
A strong hand grabbed her wrist, and a voice full of anger sounded, "How dare you?!"
