Chapter 998 Because of You, I Fell in Love with Wen Xiaoman
What's even more remarkable is that the wedding was broadcast live globally, as if to announce this powerful union to the world.
This global live broadcast was naturally an important part of the "program schedule" requested by Qiao Siyue.
He not only wanted Qiao Sinian to marry someone else, but also wanted Wen Xiaoman, who was under house arrest, to watch live as the man she couldn't forget placed a ring on another woman's hand in front of everyone.
He wanted to crush her hopes completely and make her give up.
The subordinate switched the live stream to Wen Xiaoman's room.
On the screen, the ancient castle appears solemn and majestic, with guests thronging the area, creating a festive atmosphere.
However, when Qiao Sinian appeared at the end of the red carpet in a perfectly tailored black suit on the live broadcast, Qiao Siyue, who was sitting in front of the monitor, froze slightly on the smug smile on his lips and felt a strange sense of regret.
In his heart, he wished that his frail and sickly older brother, who always outshone him, would stay behind the scenes forever and die quietly from his illness.
This time, however, Qiao Sinian not only agreed to the wedding, but also publicly revealed his identity so openly, standing in the spotlight...
This is inconsistent with Qiao Sinian's consistently low-key, even secretive, style of doing things.
Joss narrowed his eyes, staring at the person on the screen, his mind racing with alarm bells.
He couldn't help but wonder if Qiao Sinian's unusual cooperation was part of some scheme he didn't know about.
Just before the wedding was about to begin, an unexpected person found the place where Josyue was temporarily staying.
It's Selina.
She somehow managed to find out the exact room where Wen Xiaoman was being held, and then went straight to the monitoring room where Qiao Siyue was.
She pushed open the door and entered, looking at Qiao Siyue sitting in front of the screen. Her voice was filled with a mixture of complexity and urgency as she called out, "Joe."
Qiao Siyue was intently staring at the monitor screen, analyzing Qiao Sinian's possible intentions, when he was interrupted by Selina's sudden intrusion. He glanced at her unhappily and asked in a cold tone, "Why are you here?"
Selina smiled and swayed forward, instinctively reaching out to hug his neck: "Of course I missed you."
However, Qiao Siyue's mind was not on her at all at the moment, and he was even annoyed by her closeness.
He rudely pulled her arm away and pushed her away from him, his tone clearly impatient: "I'm not interested right now, stay away from me."
Selina pressed closer again, probing in a wronged tone, "Joe, you used to be so irresistible to me... When did you change? Is it because of that Wen Xiaoman?"
Qiao Siyue glared at her coldly, his eyes carrying a warning: "Changed? Selina, have you forgotten how you colluded with those brats to cause trouble at my wedding last time? Do you think I'll treat you the same way after you ruined my wedding? You think too highly of yourself?"
Selina's heart tightened, and she subconsciously raised her hand to gently touch her lower abdomen.
She knew it very well.
The reason why Qiao Siyue is still tolerating her presence and not taking any drastic measures against her is purely because of the child in her belly.
This is her only talisman at the moment.
Otherwise, given Qiao Siyue's personality, he would never have let this traitor go.
Qiao Siyue ignored her and refocused his attention on the surveillance footage.
At the castle wedding, the ceremony appears to be about to begin.
Selina glanced at the screen as well. She was unwilling to give up and wanted to try seducing Qiao Siyue again.
But just as she moved closer again, her fingers were about to touch Qiao Siyue's arm.
"boom!"
The door to the monitoring room was suddenly pushed open, and a subordinate rushed in with a panicked expression: "Young Master, something bad has happened! Someone just sneaked in and took Miss Wen away."
Qiao Siyue was taken aback at first, then turned his head sharply, his sharp gaze falling on Selina, his voice icy: "Did you do this?"
Selina was startled by the undisguised murderous intent in his eyes and took a step back, hurriedly shaking her head: "How...how could it be me? I've only been here a short time. Miss Wen was taken away. What does that have to do with me?"
Qiao Siyue didn't believe her nonsense at all. He took a step forward and grabbed Selina's slender neck with his big hand.
The force was so great that she instantly had difficulty breathing and her face turned red.
"Tell me, how did you find your way here? And who brought you here?"
Selina's vision blurred from his pinching, but she bit her lip tightly, refusing to utter a single word even as the skin on her neck began to turn purple.
When Joss saw that she would rather die than admit it, he was so angry that he threw her away violently.
Selina stumbled and bumped into the wall, clutching her neck and coughing violently.
Without even glancing at her, Qiao Siyue turned to rush out and personally track down Wen Xiaoman's whereabouts.
But the next second, Selina, who was slumped on the ground, suddenly found the strength to pounce on him and hug his leg tightly.
“Joe, it’s me, I let Miss Wen go…” She looked up at Joe and said, “But so what? You’ve already achieved your goal, why are you still keeping her under house arrest? Even now, are you still not giving up?”
As Qiao Siyue tried to break free, Selina held him even tighter, her voice trembling with tears and accusation: "You deliberately forced Qiao Siyue to marry someone else, wasn't it just to break him up with Miss Wen? You went to all this trouble, was it to get revenge on your brother, or... for yourself?"
"That's my business, it's none of your concern!"
Qiao Siyue stared down at her, his eyes sinister and terrifying. "Selina, I'm warning you, if it weren't for the fact that you're carrying my child and my parents insisted on protecting you, you would have died countless times already!"
Selina listened to his heartless words, a hint of hurt flashing in her eyes, but she still stubbornly clung to his leg: "Joe... even if... even if I die in your hands, I'm not afraid, because I love you."
However, Qiao Siyue's face remained cold and indifferent as he said in a chilling voice, "But I don't love you."
Selina said in a trembling voice, "I know... because you fell in love with Wen Xiaoman, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qiao Siyue suddenly froze, instinctively retorting sharply.
Falling in love with Wen Xiaoman?
How can it be!
Selina looked up at him and said, word by word, "Joe, I know you too well. You've never cared for any woman like this before. You kept her by your side for a whole year. Although you said it was to deal with Qiao Sinian, you yourself got caught up in it too..."
“You can summon other women at will and dismiss them without a second thought, but you care about her. If she disappears, you will go looking for her yourself. You care about any emotional fluctuations she experiences. She has already left a mark on your heart!”
