chapter 2 Linger, will you marry me?

by Paul 15:35,Sep 28,2023
Five years, he had actually been in love with Karen Chen for five years!
Even in these five years, he has not seen a shortage of real lifesavers, being suppressed and bullied by Karen Chen.
Fate played tricks on him!
Fate played tricks on him!
When he snapped back to reality, Nelly Xu was walking away in a daze.
After being humiliated and driven away by Karen Chen in public, her mood wasn't much better than Pryor Ye's.
Pryor Ye suddenly stopped her, saying, "Nelly, wait a moment."
Karen Chen erupted on the spot, "You scoundrel, let her go."
"If you dare to stop her again, you can also get lost!"
Pryor Ye sneered, "Tell me to get lost? You'll regret it."
Karen Chen retorted, "Regret? If anyone regrets, it will be you."
"After I attend General Ye's return ceremony, countless elites will pursue me, and by then, you won't even be qualified to kneel and lick my shoes!"
She had thought that by revealing the invitation to the return ceremony, Pryor Ye would come crawling back to her.
Little did she know that Pryor Ye suddenly knelt in front of Nelly Xu and asked, "Nelly, will you marry me?"
What!
Everyone present was stunned, wearing expressions of disbelief!
On his wedding day, Pryor Ye abandoned his bride to propose to the bridesmaid!
And this was happening while his new bride had just received General Ye's invitation!
It was absurd, utterly absurd.
Nelly Xu momentarily thought she had misheard.
Pryor Ye sincerely asked again, "Nelly, will you marry me?"
"I promise you, as a man, I will make you the happiest woman in the world."
"You will have a lifetime of glory and wealth."
Karen Chen was losing her mind, "Pryor Ye, you scoundrel."
"Apologize to me on your knees now. Maybe I'll forgive you."
"Don't forget, you spent five years in prison, and I'm still giving you a chance now; it's your ancestors' good fortune!"
"Get lost!" Pryor Ye scolded.
The five-year prison experience was a thorn in his heart, and Karen Chen bringing it up now was like rubbing salt into the wound!
She had no regard for his dignity!
Karen Chen gritted her teeth, "You're finished! After I attend the return ceremony, you'll see!"
In her mind, Pryor Ye was just a lapdog, only worthy of kneeling before her!
Why did he dare to insult her?
Nelly Xu lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment.
She remembered her own engagement and her promiscuous fiancé...
After a moment, she raised her head, took the bouquet of flowers, and spoke resolutely.
"I'm willing!"
Pryor Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Karen Chen's family erupted in anger.
"Wretched woman, shameless, disgraceful! You dare to behave like a slut in public. I'll kill you..."
Slap!
A crisp slap resounded.
However, it was Pryor Ye who had slapped Karen Chen.
Nelly Xu's heart raced.
She had seen how well Pryor Ye treated Karen Chen before.
But now, he had actually slapped Karen Chen for her...
She suddenly had a different thought in her mind.
Karen Chen, on the other hand, was completely distraught.
This lapdog had actually struck her for another woman. How dare he!
Pryor Ye sneered, "From now on, Nelly Xu is my wife."
"Anyone who bullies her, I'll wipe out their entire family. If they don't find redemption, I'll dig up their ancestors' graves!"
Five years of suppressed emotions, the War God had finally erupted.
The overwhelming murderous intent made Karen Chen's family dare not even breathe.
Karen Chen suddenly had a feeling.
This man was not the man she had known for the past five years!
"Nelly, let's go," Pryor Ye gently held Nelly Xu's hand.
Karen Chen gnashed her teeth, "Nelly Xu, dare to step out that door and see what happens!"
"Don't forget, you're just a parasite attached to my family's existence."
"Trust me, I can make you lose everything now."
Nelly Xu hesitated, caught between a rock and a hard place.
She knew the power Karen Chen held, especially now that she had received the invitation.
Pryor Ye reassured her, "Nelly, let's go."
"Even if the sky falls, I'll bear it for you."
Nelly Xu's heart raced once again.
The two of them walked away.
Karen Chen let out a heart-wrenching scream, "A slut and a lapdog, together forever."
"You'll be begging for my mercy, crawling on your knees like dogs."

Outside the door, the guests eagerly awaited the grand entrance of the newlyweds.
The door opened.
However, what came out was not the bride and groom, but the groom and the bridesmaid.
The whole audience was dumbfounded, shocked on the spot.
The plot that used to only appear on television dramas was unfolding in real life.
People couldn't accept it for a moment.
Coincidentally, there were a few media reporters on the scene.
So, within a few hours, this sensational news spread throughout the entire city of Linhai.
This wedding became famous.
On the big day, the groom abandoned the bride and married the bridesmaid instead.
And this happened while the bride had just received an invitation.
The groom had done the most foolish thing in the world!
Pryor Ye drove away with Nelly Xu.
Halfway there, Nelly Xu suddenly said, "Stop the car and let me get off."
Pryor Ye furrowed his brow, "What's wrong?"
Nelly Xu replied, "Your proposal to me was just a play to save face, right?"
"The play is over now, and I should go home."
Pryor Ye earnestly said, "Nelly, I proposed to you with sincerity."
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would play with emotions just to save a little face?"
Nelly Xu fell silent.
She knew Pryor Ye very well and thought that he was probably not pretending.
"Aren't you going to regret it?" Nelly Xu lowered her gaze, "Karen Chen has received General Ye's invitation, and her family is about to rise. This is your chance to climb the social ladder."
Pryor Ye smirked, "The invitation is just a word from me."
"If they take pride in it, then I'll make them servants at the ceremony."
Nelly Xu sighed, "It's too late for that now; you're still bragging."
Pryor Ye said seriously, "I'm telling the truth. Do you want to attend the return ceremony? I can take you in."
Nelly Xu didn't want to listen to Pryor Ye's "bragging" anymore, so she changed the subject, "Also, I'm already engaged to Thorne Fang from the Fang family..."
Pryor Ye replied, "Everyone in Linhai City knows that Thorne Fang is a drug addict and a womanizer. He's had his way with so many girls; I can't even count them all with one hand."
"I know you don't want to marry him, but your family forced you to agree."
"As long as you say the word, I'll rescue you from this nightmare."
Nelly Xu smiled bitterly, "The Fang family is influential and wealthy. Aren't you afraid that Thorne Fang will seek revenge against you?"
Pryor Ye suddenly laughed, "Since you said 'I'm willing' three words, I've already prepared to defy the world for you."
Nelly Xu raised her head abruptly, her mind in a daze.
This man had once again challenged her innermost feelings.
Originally, she just wanted Pryor Ye to be a shield, but now her principles were wavering.
However, the Fang family had power and wealth that far exceeded Pryor Ye, an ordinary citizen.
What could he use to contend with them?
Could he really stand up to the harsh realities with only a heart full of passion?
He might ultimately be destroyed by the Fang family.
"Let's go home first," Nelly Xu said with a melancholy expression. "We'll talk about dealing with my parents later."
She didn't know what to do at the moment.
...
At Nelly Xu's home, guests filled the place with excitement.
Next month, Nelly Xu was going to marry into the wealthy Fang family, and her uncles from her father's and mother's sides came to her house to offer congratulations and gifts.
"Third brother, it's our Xu family's great fortune that Nelly can marry into the Fang family this time."
"The Fang family is one of the four major families in Linhai. If they just drop a bit of their wealth, it would be enough to sustain our Xu family."
"Who knows, maybe our Xu family can take advantage of this opportunity and rise to become a second-tier family."
Nelly Xu's parents, Tyson Xu and Mamie Li, sat at the head of the table, their faces glowing with pride.
The compliments from the guests made the elderly couple even more proud.
Tyson Xu said, "Elder brothers, you may not know, but the Fang family has managed to secure an invitation from General Ye through their connections."
"With the Fang family's influence, they are sure to rise to greater heights. Not to mention pulling us into the second-tier families, they might even reach the first-tier families!"
"What, an invitation from General Ye!"
The guests exclaimed, and the atmosphere reached its climax.
Elder Brother then asked, "Third brother, I heard you've been campaigning for the position of department head at the hospital recently. How's the situation now?"
Tyson Xu replied, "Considering my qualifications, I had little hope of winning the position of department head."
"However, my son-in-law Thorne Fang said he would help me. With the Fang family's support, the position is as good as mine."
His words were filled with admiration and satisfaction for his future son-in-law, Thorne Fang.
The guests also joined in praising Thorne Fang.
At this moment, Second Uncle suddenly jumped up, grabbed his phone, and exclaimed, "Something's wrong with Nelly!"
Tyson Xu's heart suddenly tightened. "What happened? Show me quickly."
He snatched the phone away.
On the phone, there was a headline news article.
"On the wedding day, Pryor Ye abandons the bride and proposes to the bridesmaid, Nelly Xu..."
In an instant, Tyson Xu's blood pressure skyrocketed, and he felt dizzy. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed onto the sofa.
"Villain... angered me... to death!"
The Xu family members were in a panic. "Quick, get him to the hospital! He's having a heart attack."
