Qiao Ruoxi stood alone on the altar. She forced a calm smile and shook her head. “I’m fine, Grandpa.”
She was just worried about her mother.
After all, she had lied to her before, saying that she and Feng Yunan were truly in love.
But now, at the wedding, the groom had abandoned her and gone after another woman. It was really hard to explain.
Su Hui frowned and looked at her daughter worriedly.
She was afraid that there was more to this marriage.
‘What is my daughter hiding from me?’
The wedding ended abruptly. According to the established procedure, Qiao Ruoxi was still officially married into the Feng family and living in the new house that Mr. Feng had prepared for them—the Ocean Pavilion.
The new room was decorated with red flowers. The red double wedding cake was placed at the most conspicuous spot. The bed and the floor were covered with rose petals.
The items in the room were all in pairs, with a beautiful meaning.
But now, it was especially ironic.
On their wedding night, Qiao Ruoxi stayed in the Ocean Pavilion alone and experienced what it meant to be alone in an empty room.
Luckily, she had no feelings for Feng Yunan, so it didn’t matter to her whether he was there or not.
The master bedroom was the bridal chamber. It did not belong to her. She would not sleep there.
She removed her makeup and washed away her fatigue. She went to the guest room next door and slept.
In the middle of the night, she was woken up by the commotion outside. She did not know what had happened. She put on her coat and came out to take a look.
The living room was brightly lit. Qiao Ruoxi stood at the spiral staircase on the second floor and looked down. She saw Huang Yi and another subordinate helping Feng Yunan into the Ocean Pavilion.
Feng Yunan was probably drunk and was dragged upstairs by the two of them.
Xiu Yi said apologetically when he saw her, “Miss Qiao, the president is drunk.”
He did not tell Qiao Ruoxi that it was an order from Mr. Feng.
Tonight was their wedding night. No matter what, they had to send the president back to the Ocean Pavilion.
Even if Feng Yunan was drunk, they would still send him back.
“Send him back to his room!”
Qiao Ruoxi wondered if it was because of the marriage that Miss Wen Ke’er had quarreled with him. ‘Is he in a bad mood so he drank too much?’
After sending him to the master bedroom and putting him on the bed, Xiu Yi said, “Miss Qiao, I’ll leave the president to you.”
“It’s okay.”
After sending them off, Qiao Ruoxi returned to her room.
Qiao Ruoxi looked at Feng Yunan who was lying on the bed, drunk and unconscious. She tried hard to recall what the agreement said.
‘Didn’t we agree that we don’t need to consummate our marriage?’
‘Doesn’t that mean that I don’t have to care about him?’
‘Yes, I’ll leave him alone.’
Qiao Ruoxi made up her mind and prepared to leave the master bedroom but just as she reached the door, she heard the sound of vomiting coming from behind her.
She tightened her grip on the door frame and frowned while sighing.
Sigh, just treat it as a good deed.
In fact, it was not easy to do good deeds. Qiao Ruoxi turned around and saw that Feng Yunan had already vomited and dirtied the ground. Even his own clothes were soiled.
It was too disgusting. Qiao Ruoxi had no choice but to clean up the mess first and help him take off his dirty clothes.
When she pulled off the man’s shirt, Qiao Ruoxi inadvertently noticed that there was a large bruise on the middle of his back.
Her heart skipped a beat.
She suddenly remembered the day at Jin Manor when he stood up for her.
Jiang Yan’s stool had actually caused such a huge wound on his back, but his back was so straight at that time, as if he was completely fine.
As she looked at the wound, Qiao Ruoxi felt a little heartache.
