Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 45

Chapter 45

Grantham and Mu Hean stood on the red carpet, wearing custom-made wedding dresses.

No matter what the guests present thought about this marriage, at this moment they had to admit that the two were indeed a perfect match.

The combination of the traditional top AO, the politician’s family and the oligarchic group, regardless of appearance, gender or family background, is a match made in heaven, apart from those messy rumors.

Everyone watched the newlyweds enter the auditorium accompanied by ritual music, but Qi Feiluan’s heart slowly lifted.

Grantham said that he would send another wedding invitation to Ji Xingyuan, but Qi Feiluan didn’t know when he sent it.

He didn’t see Ji Xingyuan when the guests entered the wedding at the beginning, and he didn’t see Ji Xingyuan until the wedding was going on.

Although Ji Xingyuan promised not to take the initiative to look for him, when an invitation letter was sent to him along with his news, could Ji Xingyuan not be able to bear it if there were legitimate reasons?

The best outcome is that Ji Xingyuan doesn’t come over. Grantham thinks that Ji Xingyuan doesn’t care about him, so he can continue to live his own life, and his parents will not be in danger.

But if Ji Xingyuan came, he would be ready.

Under the gaze of all the guests, Mu Hean and Grantham walked up to the priest.

While the priest was reciting the oath, Qi Feiluan’s heart reached its climax.

…

In fact, Ji Xingyuan did not receive the second wedding invitation letter with news about Qi Feiluan at all.

Grantham actually didn’t quite believe what Qi Feiluan said. He wanted to see Ji Xingyuan’s actions in the shortest time before he could make other arrangements.

Therefore, after Qi Feiluan took over the wedding security, he waited until the wedding day to send Ji Xingyuan a second wedding invitation with Qi Feiluan’s news.

Grantham wanted to see the joke of him hastily canceling a possible revenge plan, but also wanted to see the embarrassment of him rushing to attend the wedding.

Unfortunately, Ji Xingyuan didn’t see the second invitation letter with news about Qi Feiluan.

On September 21st, Ji Xingyuan’s susceptible period came as scheduled. This time he did not go for routine pheromone extraction surgery, but went to the hospital to start a full body examination and preoperative preparation.

On the 23rd, he was lying in the operating room.

Ji Yinli and Jian Junshuang were waiting outside the operating room together. One of them was the second remaining Ji family member, and the other was someone who had a close relationship with Ji Xingyuan and could sign the informed consent form for the operation.

When Jian Junshuang sat on the chair outside the operating room and looked at the red light during the operation, he felt that Ji Xingyuan must be crazy.

After he learned about Ji Xingyuan’s idea, he firmly opposed it and lost control of his emotions for a while. But what he got in exchange was Ji Xingyuan’s cold, sober and rational words:

“I’m not here to seek your approval and support. I don’t even need your signature. I have already made a decision and I will sign it myself.”

It was like a bucket of cold water being poured down the head. Jian Junshuang immediately understood that Ji Xingyuan was really just here to tell him his decision.

Ji’s Hospital itself is a private hospital controlled by Ji Xingyuan. If he is determined, nothing like the informed consent form for surgery can stop him.

In the end, the informed consent form for the surgery was indeed signed by Ji Xingyuan himself. Jian Junshuang stood nearby and watched Ji Xingyuan sign his name without hesitation or trembling.

It seems that you are not signing a thin piece of paper that gives up the future, but an agreement that will win huge benefits.

Jian Junshuang retracted his gaze and looked at his hands, trying to understand what Ji Xingyuan was thinking, but he still couldn’t understand it.

Probably the craziest people are the ones who look the most sober and calm, just like his aunt, Ji Xingyuan’s mother, Jian Lu.

At that time, no one would have imagined that it would end like that.

Not long after the operation started, Jian Junshuang saw Ji Xingyuan’s confidant rushing over with an envelope.

Contained in that envelope was the second wedding invitation sent by Grantham.

“Although Mr. Ji said not to disturb Mr. Qi in any way, will Mr. Qi be controlled by Grantham and be in danger?”

A confidant has worked for Ji Xingyuan for many years and knows very well what Qi Feiluan means to his boss.

The confidant looked at the sign indicating that the operation was in progress and asked: “I asked the doctor that the operation will last 3 to 4 hours. By the time Mr. Ji can handle it at the end of the operation, it will definitely be too late. Do you want us to send someone over first?”

Jian Junshuang pondered for a while and immediately contacted Bai Hanxu.

Because of Ji Xingyuan’s surgery, Jian Junshuang did not attend Grantham’s wedding, but Bai Hanxu had to go on behalf of the Bai family.

When he received the message from Jian Junshuang, Bai Hanxu was suddenly excited.

He didn’t expect Qi Feiluan to be at the wedding at all.

The wedding hall was a large social place before the couple arrived. Although Bai Hanxu had a lively and cheerful personality, there were too many big shots around him, and he was a junior, so he was a little cramped among the guests. Therefore, he never noticed Qi Feiluan, who was sitting quietly and inconspicuously among the guests.

At that time, it was still some time before the newlyweds arrived at the auditorium. Bai Hanxu made an excuse to stand up and walk past the rows of guests. After careful observation, he quickly locked onto Qi Feiluan.

Qi Feiluan also noticed the glances from the side, and the two looked at each other. Qi Feiluan nodded to Bai Hanxu, and Bai Hanxu also nodded and continued walking out.

After walking out of the auditorium, Bai Hanxu found an inconspicuous place and replied to Jian Junshuang’s message:

[I saw Qi Feiluan, but he didn’t look like he was being coerced or controlled. He was sitting at the guest seat with a normal expression. We nodded to each other and found nothing unusual.He knew I was at the wedding, and if he was really in danger, he would definitely try to give me clues so that I could find out.】

After receiving the reply, Jian Junshuang turned off the screen and said to his confidant: “After Grantham clearly received Xingyuan’s rejection, he sent another invitation letter with news about Qi Feiluan. This is probably a trap. Since Ah Xu said that Qi Feiluan is sitting at the guest seat, it at least means that he is not in a crisis situation. Believe Qi Feiluan, if we act without authorization, we may put him in danger who is not in danger in the first place. It is better to not move.”

After saying that, Jian Junshuang rubbed the invitation letter and added: “Send someone to keep an eye on the wedding scene. Don’t let the people in Grantham find out. If there is any danger or abnormality, we will act again. Also, go and see where Qi Feiluan’s parents are now and what they are doing, and protect them secretly.”

“Yes.” The confidant nodded in agreement.

Jian Junshuang looked at the red light during the operation again, and suddenly felt an even bigger headache.

…

At the wedding scene, as Grantham and Mu He’an finished their vows and exchanged rings, the wedding process entered the second half. Ji Xingyuan still didn’t show up, and Qi Feiluan’s heart slowly relaxed.

After the wedding, since Ji Xingyuan didn’t come, Grantham no longer had the energy to pay attention to Qi Feiluan.

Qi Feiluan contacted the responding mercenary team and quickly evacuated among the departing guests.

Qi Feiluan walked all the way to where the mercenary team parked. The car door was slightly open. He walked over, opened the door, jumped in and closed the door. When he felt the push on his back as the vehicle started to accelerate, he slowly exhaled.

“You can actually be invited to such an occasion?” the captain of the mercenary team joked, “A big shot…”

Qi Feiluan calmed his heartbeat and said: “No, it’s just that the groom and my former boss didn’t deal with it. They saw me suspended and came to trouble me. They will not have anything to do with me in the future. What is our next mission?”

The captain shook his head. He didn’t care much about Qi Feiluan’s previous experiences. The most important thing for them was stories.

“In the desert country, go and do some small work for the prince there. Let’s go!”

Qi Feiluan had no objection. Even if he went to the hot desert to feel the hot wind mixed with sand and shave his face, it would be better than staying in the capital and becoming a pawn in a tug-of-war.

On the way, Qi Feiluan contacted his parents through an encrypted channel, and he was relieved after learning that there was nothing unusual in their lives.

I have been to a kingdom floating on oil, and worked as a security guard for the world’s most famous museum…

Qi Feiluan followed the mercenary team on three or four more missions. Finally, because Qi Feiluan wanted to take a detour to the northern polar circle to see the aurora, the two parties finally separated.

For them, life is largely composed of one present after another. They live in the present and rarely think about the future or the past.

You can go together when you need to go together, and you can separate directly when you want to separate.

They come and go like floating clouds, and there is nothing to save or regret.

Areas suitable for watching the aurora are cold and quiet. Lying alone in some warm cabins with glass roofs, looking up at the night sky without light pollution, waiting for the aurora to appear, for Qi Feiluan, may be one of the quietest moments in the world.

He could hear the wind outside and his own heartbeat.

The aurora may not appear tonight, but it may appear next moment.

He just listened to the sound of wind and heartbeat and waited quietly.

Soon, a gorgeous, soft green that could be described by all the beautiful words in the world covered the night sky.

This is a dance of light in the night sky.

The moment he saw it, Qi Feiluan felt that the severe cold and wind he had endured in rushing here, the silence and loneliness he endured while waiting, had all been rewarded a thousand times a hundred times at that moment.

Qi Feiluan recalled what the staff told him when he checked into the glass igloo: “The aurora is a reward from God to those who live in the cold and long nights.”

Maybe.

Qi Feiluan suddenly thought that it was already December x. He turned on his phone and saw that the time showed that it was the 22nd, and it was still 2 minutes away from midnight.

The 21st is Ji Xingyuan’s birthday. This is the rare time that Qi Feiluan has not spent his birthday with him since he can remember.

Since Qi Feiluan left Ji Xingyuan, he did not think of him all the time. On the contrary, Ji Xingyuan’s figure was blurred by the fresh and chaotic new life.

But at this moment, lying alone in the glass igloo, looking at the aurora sky, Qi Feiluan suddenly felt aggrieved.

First there was grievance, then anger, sadness, doubt… all kinds of emotions came fiercely, like a spiritual tsunami that easily destroyed it.

Qi Feiluan didn’t know why, but subconsciously he felt like he knew why.

That feeling seems to say, why are you finally apologizing and loving me again now?

Qi Feiluan couldn’t control his emotions at all. He subconsciously avoided dealing with his emotions after being away for half a year and went back to think about everything related to Ji Xingyuan.

But those emotions and thoughts are not really absent. They are just suppressed by the new life and only burst out when they are alone.

Why the sudden change?Why do you disrespect his ideas so much?Why are you so close to Mu Hean?Why hurt him and ignore him?

It has been four years, so why did I suddenly wake up to it not long ago?

During the four years, Qi Feiluan repeatedly told himself, “Ji Xingyuan is no longer the Ji Xingyuan he was before, and Ji Xingyuan doesn’t love you.” Only in this way could he give himself a reasonable explanation, allowing himself to endure staying with Ji Xingyuan, and stopping himself from having any more whimsical delusions.

It was a kind of never-ending self-denial, endurance and waiting. He didn’t know when Ji Xingyuan would understand, explain or apologize.

Maybe Ji Xingyuan will love him tomorrow, or maybe Ji Xingyuan will never love him like before.

Qi Feiluan finally waited for Ji Xingyuan’s apology and explanation, but why did he come now?

Why… couldn’t it have been earlier?

Qi Feiluan watched the aurora slowly dissipate in the sky, thinking that today should be December 23rd.

December 22nd is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. The longest night in the northern hemisphere is lit up by the aurora in the last few minutes.The aurora lit up the night, crossing the zero point, and stayed bright from yesterday to today.

Then the length of the night will gradually shorten, and the sun will gradually move northward as it touches the Tropic of Capricorn.

A new day has arrived, and Qi Feiluan still doesn’t want to forgive Ji Xingyuan.
