Forced to go to the countryside, the arrogant young lady got married and became a military wife

Chapter 166 Before the Wedding Banquet

"So what if we're married? Here, I have the final say."

Shi Qingqian looked him in the eye without fear, "Don't ever think of breaking us up. People like you don't understand what love is."

Boss Lei laughed in anger, "Love? In this world, only power and wealth are real. Your so-called love is nothing but a sign of weakness."

He let go of Shi Qingqian's jaw and walked slowly, but his eyes never left Shi Qingqian.

"You'd better think it through soon, otherwise, those kids won't be able to wait long."

Shi Qingqian bit her lips tightly, her heart filled with anger and helplessness.

She knew that Boss Lei's methods were cruel, and for the sake of her children, she had to find a way to delay time.

"You keep saying that you like me, but you force me in this way. This is not love, this is possessiveness," Shi Qingqian tried to convince Boss Lei from another angle.

Boss Lei stopped and looked at Shi Qingqian with narrowed eyes. "So what if I possess you? As long as I have you, I'll do anything."

The atmosphere in the room became tense again. Shi Qingqian kept thinking about how to deal with the situation, while Boss Lei was waiting for her to surrender.

The bustling sounds outside the window seemed incompatible with the tense atmosphere in the room.

At this tense moment that made people almost unable to breathe, Aunt Yue said cautiously: "Boss, the bride hasn't put on her makeup yet. She can't be without makeup."

"Why don't we let the bride put on her makeup first. She has to look beautiful on this happy day," Aunt Yue's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that she was speaking under extreme nervousness.

Boss Lei frowned slightly and looked back and forth between Shi Qingqian and Aunt Yue.

Shi Qingqian still bit her lips tightly, her eyes revealing stubbornness and indomitable spirit, but at this moment she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Aunt Yue with gratitude.

Aunt Yue quickly struck while the iron was hot and winked at the middle-aged women.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and put makeup on the bride," several middle-aged women seemed to have just woken up from a dream. They quickly surrounded Shi Qingqian and hurriedly took out various cosmetics.

Boss Lei was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, then put on your makeup first, but Shi Qingqian, you'd better think it through."

After saying that, he glared at Shi Qingqian fiercely, then turned around and sat down on a chair beside him, but his eyes were always fixed on Shi Qingqian, as if he was afraid that she would take the opportunity to escape.

Aunt Yue and the middle-aged women quickly began to put makeup on Shi Qingqian. They moved more cautiously, fearing that they would anger Boss Lei again.

The room was filled with a tense atmosphere, with only the slight clash of makeup tools.

Shi Qingqian sat there without saying a word, letting them do whatever they wanted.

……

At this time, Xu Huaian and his team were busy all night, searching almost the entire Yangjia Village, but did not find any place where people were hiding.

Chen Chen and his team had already bypassed Boss Lei's spies and quietly entered the village.

Xu Huaian and his team met up with Chen Chen's team in a secluded corner.

Both teams had tired and solemn expressions on their faces, yet they were burning with a firm fighting spirit.

Xu Huaian frowned and spoke first: "We worked hard all night and searched almost the entire Yangjia Village, but we couldn't find any place where people were hiding. The situation is not optimistic."

Chen Chen nodded slightly, his expression serious: "The most urgent thing now is to come up with a plan to save people as soon as possible."

Everyone gathered together and started discussing in low voices.

"Could there be some hidden basement or cave? We may have overlooked some details."

"It's also possible that they're hiding in the mountains and forests surrounding the village. We haven't searched there thoroughly yet."

Xu Huaian pondered for a moment and said, "There's another possibility. The child they have is already rescued. Boss Lei said this because he wants to control Qianqian and prevent her from escaping again."

After hearing Xu Huaian's words, everyone fell into a brief silence.

Chen Chen frowned slightly and thought: "It is indeed possible. My sister-in-law fell into their hands just to save those children. If she knew there were still children in their hands, she would definitely want to save them first."

"I heard that Boss Lei is going to meet my sister-in-law today..."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Xu Huaian.

Xu Huaian's face instantly darkened, his eyes flashing with anger and worry, his fists clenched tightly, his joints turning slightly white.

Xu Huaian took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. His eyes revealed courage and determination.

"We can't keep searching blindly like this. Since Boss Lei is planning to hold this wedding banquet, let's take this opportunity to sneak over and surround them, catching them in a trap."

Chen Chen worriedly said, "Isn't this too risky? We're not sure of the children's exact location yet. What if the operation fails... my sister-in-law is still in their hands."

Xu Huaian frowned slightly. He also understood the risks involved, but there was no better way at this moment. "We don't have time to hesitate any longer. This wedding banquet is our best chance."

……

The makeup tools in Aunt Yue and the middle-aged women's hands were like nimble paintbrushes, carefully sculpting Shi Qingqian's face.

They meticulously painted her eyebrows and eyes, lightly applied blush, and put on red lipstick. Every movement was done with care, as if they were creating a precious work of art.

When the makeup was finished, Shi Qingqian slowly opened her eyes.

She was wearing a bright red wedding dress, like a rose blooming in the flames.

The red color of the wedding dress was bright and eye-catching, and the gold embroidery thread sparkled in the sunlight, making her skin look as white as snow.

Her long hair was tied into an exquisite bun, dotted with a few large pearls, and a few strands of hair hung beside her cheeks, adding a touch of softness.

Her eyes were as clear as autumn water, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if they could move people's hearts, her eyebrows were like distant ink, slightly raised, revealing a stubborn and unyielding spirit.

The blush on her cheeks added a perfect blush, making her already delicate face even more charming. Her lips were naturally red and slightly pursed, as if she had a thousand words to say but couldn't.

At this moment, Boss Lei's gaze fell on Shi Qingqian, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes for a moment. He seemed to be frozen, staring at Shi Qingqian blankly. At that moment, a strong and irregular tremor surged in his heart.

He had never seen such a beautiful woman. At this moment, Shi Qingqian was like a shining pearl that made him unable to look away.

Boss Lei opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say.

In addition to astonishment, there was also a hint of pride in his eyes, as if he was proud that he was about to possess such a beauty.

But soon, he returned to his cold expression, but his eyes drifted towards Shi Qingqian from time to time, unable to hide the waves in his heart.
