Chapter 77 A Wedding In Vegas.
Nian Tian gripped tight on the arm of Mu Yuehan. She looked at the bride with wide eyes and a little dreamy smile.
"What kind of wedding do you want?" Mu Yuehan asked her.
She looked at him and gave him a slight smile.
"When mom was still alive," a lost look appeared in her eyes. "Like a little lady, I wished to have a grand wedding. Silly, but I wanted my wedding in Switzerland in the middle of snow with everything in white colour."
She chuckled. "It was a silly dream of mine as a kid."
"What are your dreams now?"
"Runaway to Vegas and getting married there." She replied after thinking for some time. "Getting drunk and then marrying the love of my life in Vegas."
"I did not think you will like this kind of marriage." He teased.
"I just want it." She shrugged her shoulders. "Now hush, they are going to make wedding vows."
Throughout their vows, Nian Tian looked at the couple without a blink of an eye. Mu Yuehan looked at her and realized she was one of the girls who wanted a wedding, with vows, kisses, and rings and all. She also wished for her wedding to be different from others.
And he promised to do so. He would make their wedding different and memorable.
Zhan Wei pulled Mu Yuehan away because he wanted to talk about something to him, regarding the person on whom he was keeping an eye on. Also, they needed to meet some of the businessmen if they wished to make more close contacts.
Meanwhile, Nian Tian stayed behind to check the dishes. She was also sipping her fifth glass of red wine, feeling slightly drunk and tipsy.
A socialist, Miss Emily Knight was standing not very far from her. She was enviously looking at her. She was one of the beauties of her social circle but when she saw Nian Tian and the way men looked at her, she felt her appearance dull.
Arrogantly, she walked toward Nian Tian. Seeing her lost in her thoughts, Emily collided with her. The result was that wine from the glass of Nian Tian slipped onto the dress of Emily.
A hardly noticeable patch formed on the dress of Emily but it was enough for her to create a scene. She knew Nian Tian was a mare caterer where she herself was the daughter of one of the rich men of London. Obviously, everyone was going to support her if she created a scene.
"You, don't you have eyes? How can you spill wine on my dress?" Emily yelled bitterly.
Nian Tian furrowed and looked at her. She was well aware that she was back to her life in Shanghai where socialists loved to play such dirty tricks, to embarrass each other. And she was an expert in all this.
"This dress was so expensive and you ruined it. Who will be paying for this dress now?"
"Miss, why are you yelling at me when you are at fault? I should ask you, where were your eyes when you were walking because I am standing at this same spot for the last five minutes. It's you who is rushing blindly here and there like a fool, in a fully packed hall."
Some of the people chuckled when they heard her. Emily fuelled with more anger. She looked at her.
"Please step aside. I don't have time to waste on a lunatic like you." Nian Tian scorned.
"You…." Emily felt embarrassed. She raised her hand to slap her. Nian Tian saw a slap coming. She gritted her teeth. Slyness appeared in her eyes. She was ready to take a hold of the wrist of Emily in her palm, to twist it. But Mu Yuehan beat her.
Like a saviour stood in front of Nian Tian. He took a hold of Emily's hand. Much to the disappointment of Nian Tian, instead of twisting it, he shrugged her hand away.
Mu Yuehan was standing beside Zhan Wei when he saw Nian Tian talking with someone. He frowned and walked toward her, only to realize the ill intention of Emily. And now here he was, protecting his girl.
"There was no need for you to save me. I could have dealt with her." Nian Tian gritted her teeth. She so wished to twist that arm. It had been so long since she last fought with someone.
Mu Yuehan turned and glared at her. "Woman, I know you are strong enough to protect yourself. But can you please let your boyfriend do such silly works for you?"
He then turned and glared at Emily. Not knowing his identity, Emily yelled, "you! Do you know who I am? How dare of you to touch my hand?"
"Do YOU know who I am?" He spat each word with a pause. His aura was turning dangerous. He took a step toward her, ready to disclose his identity when Zhan Wei came to his rescue.
Zhan Wei placed his hand on the shoulder of Mu Yuehan. He calmed down and instructed Zhan Wei from his eye signals.
"What's happening here? Miss Knight, do you have some problem with my best friend?"
Nian Tian took a huge gulp of her wine. With awe, she looked at the effect of Zhan Wei on Emily. Emily had turned completely pale under his presence. Her haughtiness was all gone.
Not a long back, Zhan Wei was talking about some deal with her father, impersonating Mu Yuehan. So, Emily knew what a powerful man he was.
"Mister Mu, I don't have any problem with him."
Nian Tian wanted to whistle and clap. She also wanted this power, this aura. With one appearance, your enemy was ready to fall to your knees.
One day, her dream was going to come true!!
Maybe it was the effect of drink but the feelings, the reality which she had kept deep hidden in her heart were coming out.
"She tried to slap my girl." Mu Yuehan pointed out and looked at Zhan Wei. "You are my friend and as my best friend, you should cancel the deal with knights, to give my girl justice."
Zhan Wei smirked and shook his head. He looked at Emily with pitiful eyes. She had committed the biggest mistake of her life just now.
