SWNOVELXO Chapter 26 - I Object to This Marriage
Though it was just a fleeting glimpse, Su Yu recognized her.
—Gu Yanran, his childhood sweetheart.
“She shouldn’t be here today, by all logic.”
Gu Yanran’s crush on him was no secret—he’d known it forever. His past self had even toyed with eloping with her, but he’d nixed that idea.
Why ditch a life of luxury for roughing it in the wild, chasing some so-called love? No matter how he sliced it, it felt bizarre.
Never having loved anyone, Su Yu couldn’t wrap his head around it.
“This place is a heartbreak hotspot—she’d avoid it like the plague, not show up.”
Still, nothing’s set in stone. If he hadn’t mistaken her, what was she doing here?
Surely not crashing the wedding night!
Su Yu frowned, shoving down a gnawing unease.
“Let’s hope nothing goes sideways…”
…
Walking a path strewn with red silk and petals, Su Yu saw her again.
Long lashes, dainty cherry lips, a slender neck, skin like icy jade—flawless beauty, like nature’s finest creation.
The girl wore a phoenix crown, her complexion pristine. Su Yu couldn’t help but stare, a little dazed.
Compared to his bland past life, this one was heaven-blessed—enough to spark envy.
Lin Qingyue caught him gawking, a faint smile tugging her lips. She extended a snowy hand. “Husband, shall we?”
Go where?
Sensing his confusion, Lin Qingyue shot him a playful glare and took his hand.
The instant their palms met, Su Yu shivered.
“So soft…”
It didn’t feel like a hand—more like flawless warm jade. He hadn’t expected her beauty to extend to such silky skin.
Led by Lin Qingyue into the hall, Su Yu spotted his sisters, parents, and some unfamiliar faces.
Next up in the wedding flow: the vows.
“First, bow to heaven and earth.”
They knelt to the sky.
“Second, bow to the parents.”
They knelt again toward the hall.
“Spouses bow to each other.”
They locked eyes—and at the ritual’s final beat—
“Hold it right there!!”
A furious, frantic voice cut through, brimming with pent-up rage.
“Everyone stop—I object to this marriage!”
