SSEWC Chapter 22

Outside the magnificent high-end hotel, several welcoming attendants stood, wearing smiles as they greeted every invited guest.

A red velvet carpet extended from the interior’s marble tiles to the entrance.

Next to the revolving door, two men dressed in suits stood. They seemed to casually move around the entrance hall, but upon closer observation, one would notice an inconspicuous black line behind their ears.

That line connected to earpieces linked to walkie-talkies.

These two individuals were bodyguards stationed by He Heng at the hotel entrance.

They continued to closely monitor every guest entering through the main gate in real-time.

At that moment, a child, holding an adult’s hand, skipped happily into the premises. The child seemed to be carrying some black object in their hand.

The accompanying adult appeared to be the child’s nanny, judging by their appearance and age.

However, upon a closer look at the item in the child’s hand, one of the guards furrowed his brows slightly, immediately alerting his companion to be on guard.

He had just realized that the child was unmistakably holding a black handgun.

The nanny was about to take the child inside to find their parents when suddenly they were intercepted before entering the banquet venue.

“Excuse me, please wait a moment.”

They were stopped by a tall man in a dark gray suit with a stern expression.

Before she could react, the man in the suit decisively took the object from the child’s hand without a word.

Witnessing this, the nanny instinctively reached out, attempting to retrieve the item. She explained anxiously, “Sir, this is—”

However, it was too late for all of that.

The man had already pressed the button, releasing the magazine.

In the next moment, a bright, seven-colored, and dazzling beam shot out from the gun’s muzzle, instantly piercing through the entire hall and dazzling everyone’s eyes.

Accompanying this beam, a clear and high-pitched mechanical girl’s voice sounded,

“Biu! Biu! Biu!”

“Heart-shaped light beam launch!”

At this moment, everyone’s attention was drawn to the scene.

Damn!

The bodyguard cursed inwardly, awkwardly lowering his head and frantically pressing various buttons on the toy gun, but none could stop the continuation of the playback.

Finally, amidst the shocked gazes of the crowd,

“Bara la la little magic fairy, ooh la la, little magic fairy transforms!”

The toy gun finally concluded its embarrassing lines.

The nanny on the side finally seized the opportunity to explain, “Sir, this is just a child’s toy. He insisted on bringing it, and neither his dad nor mom could stop him. If you take away his toy, he’ll start crying and making a fuss.”

Observing the situation, a wry smile tugged at the bodyguard’s lips, and he handed the toy gun back to the child.

Not only was it a toy, but it was also a knock-off.

Has the magic wand lost its charm?

At the very least, getting a Transformer’s morphing device would have been better.

Why did they have to make it look like a handgun, and so realistic, causing him embarrassment in public?

The nanny, feeling a bit embarrassed, apologized several times before leading the child inside.

Following the instructions of the receptionist, she entered the banquet hall and found the child’s parents by the tables in the front rows.

They were engaged in a conversation with a tall and outstanding-looking Alpha.

Glancing at the Alpha and recalling the wedding photos displayed in the banquet hall, the nanny immediately recognized him as the main character of today’s wedding, the current president of Tian Sheng Group, He Heng.

As they were approaching the child’s parents, the child suddenly aimed the gun at He Heng.

Worried that he might create a disturbance again, the nanny quickly reached out and stopped his movement.

The child’s parents evidently realized the situation too. They immediately pulled the child close and said to He Heng, “This is Xiao Yue. He always likes to play with this toy. Mr. He, please don’t mind.”

“No problem.” He Heng smiled at them. Then he remembered that the ceremony was about to begin, and he needed to prepare. He excused himself, saying, “I’ll take my leave now,” and left.

With that, He Heng crossed the swaying banquet hall, searching for the Omega’s figure. Eventually, he spotted Shi Shuang outside the dressing room in a corner of the room.

It seemed like Shi Shuang had just changed into the wedding attire.

At this moment, standing before him, Shi Shuang wore a white suit, with a shy and bashful smile on his face. Just like the little prince who once sat in front of the piano, he became the center of attention under the focused lights. For a moment, all eyes were on him.

In that brief moment when their eyes met, a slightly awkward glance flickered in Shi Shuang’s eyes.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” His heart began to beat intensely again.

Under the gaze of the emcee, He Heng smiled as he approached Shi Shuang. He plucked a rose from his own chest and placed it on Shi Shuang’s, leaving a faint kiss on Shi Shuang’s cheek. At the same time, he bent down and whispered in Shi Shuang’s ear:

“Looks good.”

As he straightened up, unsurprisingly, Shi Shuang’s ears turned red.

“Cough, cough,” the emcee cleared his throat and said to He Heng, “Mr. He, the ceremony is about to begin. You should change into your formal attire.”

“Yes,” He Heng nodded, then took Shi Shuang’s hand. “We still have a table of wine to toast. After that, we can change into our clothes.”

Meanwhile, at a nearby table, Shi Shaowen had been discreetly observing every move of the two.

Seeing He Heng and Shi Shuang approaching, his tension heightened. At that moment, a waiter happened to pass by with a tray of red wine.

Seizing the opportunity, Shi Shaowen picked up two glasses of red wine from the tray and handed one to He Heng. “I toast to you.”

There were no words exchanged between them. As they raised their glasses, Shi Shaowen discreetly observed He Heng’s reactions until He Heng finished his drink, at which point he averted his gaze.

The waiter and Shi Shaowen exchanged a subtle look on the side.

When He Heng placed the glass with the remaining red liquid on the table, the observant waiter who had been secretly watching approached promptly.

“Sir, let me take you to the preparation area to change into your formal attire.”

At the same time, another “coincidentally passing by” waiter swiftly removed the glass from the table.

“Yes, please.” He Heng nodded towards Shi Shaowen and then left with Shi Shuang.

Shi Shaowen, however, didn’t turn away. He stood in place, eyes unwavering, tracking the movements of the two from the shadows.

However, as they approached the entrance of the dressing room, just when the waiter was about to lead He Heng and Shi Shuang in different directions, He Heng suddenly stopped. Instead of following the waiter directly into the dressing room, he turned and looked at Shi Shuang.

Seeing this, the waiter subconsciously furrowed his brows.

The hallucinogen takes effect very quickly, within one to two minutes after ingestion. He needed to get He Heng into an empty dressing room as soon as possible to avoid any unplanned revelations.

Realizing the situation was becoming precarious, he hurriedly urged, “Sir, the ceremony is about to begin. It’s best for you to change now.”

“I know.” He Heng waved him off, signaling him to stop speaking.

Really, all this chattering never ends.

He then impatiently reached up and loosened his tie, clearing his throat.

Whether it was his imagination or not, after drinking that glass of wine, he felt a sudden heat throughout his body, to the point where he was starting to sweat, and his head felt a bit heavy.

With an unexpected turn of events, Shi Shaowen, watching from a distance, nervously observed every move of the two. When he saw He Heng frowning and displaying an unpleasant expression, beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead.

However, just when Shi Shaowen thought the Alpha was about to react,

He Heng suddenly broke into a silly grin at Shi Shuang.

He lowered his head, looking at the fair face of the Omega in front of him.

One small face turned into four, and then four turned into sixteen.

All that remained in He Heng’s eyes were the amber-colored big eyes and the fluttering eyelashes.

One Shi Shuang was attractive enough, but now there were so many of them. Suddenly, He Heng felt overwhelmed by the beauty before him. In his mind, he couldn’t help but exclaim,

“He’s really cute.”

But in the end, it’s just that I have good taste,

I really know how to choose! The Omega I find is so good-looking!

The next moment, He Heng suddenly bent down and gave Shi Shuang a quick kiss on the cheek.

Shi Shuang’s ears visibly turned red. He looked around nervously, then lightly tugged at He Heng’s clothes, whispering,

“There are people around. How can you kiss me here?”

“Because…” He Heng paused for a moment, then suddenly embraced Shi Shuang. He then put on a tragic expression as if saying, “The wind blows gently, and the water is cold. A hero departs, never to return.”

“I’m about to leave.”

Shi Shuang couldn’t help but chuckle.

It’s just changing clothes, what’s the big deal?

However, the Alpha’s embrace was strong, and Shi Shuang couldn’t break free. He quickly glanced around.

After confirming that no one was watching them, Shi Shuang quickly stood on tiptoes and gave He Heng a peck on the corner of his mouth. With a flushed face, he said, “I’m just going to change my clothes. We’ll see each other soon.”

“Okay.” He Heng seemed convinced. He released Shi Shuang. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something. Pointing at Shi Shuang, he said,

“You stay right here and don’t move!”

Shi Shuang couldn’t help but giggle at He Heng’s solemn expression. He bent his mouth and said, “Okay.”

“Sir, please come with me.” The waiter hastily gestured.

Just when the waiter finally breathed a sigh of relief, He Heng suddenly turned back. With a long stride, he bent down and passionately kissed Shi Shuang on the lips.

Shi Shuang was taken aback, and even Shi Shaowen from a distance was stunned.

Before Shi Shuang could react, He Heng had already left his lips. “Be good, I’ll be back to marry you right away.”

With that, he smiled at Shi Shuang, “I really want to put you in my pocket and take you away.”

Watching He Heng’s nonsensical behavior, Shi Shuang became a bit concerned if He Heng had drunk too much earlier.

With this in mind, he reached out and touched Alpha’s face. The sensation under his palm was burning hot.

Furrowing his brows, Shi Shuang looked a bit worried. Just as he was about to speak,

“Don’t worry about me!” He Heng waved his big hand, interrupting Shi Shuang. “I’m leaving first!”

He then left a confident and carefree figure behind.

Seeing this scene from a distance, Shi Shaowen’s expression became complicated. If photos might not always tell the truth, Shi Shuang’s recent actions and expressions wouldn’t lie. Even if he were a fool, Shi Shaowen could tell that his son liked this Alpha.

In that moment, Shi Shaowen’s original plan suddenly wavered. He became uncertain about whether he should continue with the plan.
