Zheng Hao's face was ashen, his expression utterly ugly.

At that moment, he finally knew what it felt like to have an entire grassland growing over his head!

Unable to endure it any longer, he slapped Zhao Liqing across the face countless times in a frenzy, cursing, "You stinking whore! So you've been lying to me all along! And you cuckolded me too! I'll fucking beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!"

Zhao Liqing howled under his blows, her hair disheveled as she broke down and sobbed.

As he beat her, Zheng Hao cursed, "Divorce! You're leaving without a damn penny! Otherwise, I'll have your parents and your brother killed and dumped in the river!"

Zhao Liqing completely fell apart!

She had exhausted every possible means to marry into the Zheng Family. She had thought she could spend her whole life as the young mistress of a wealthy family, but today, her beautiful dream had been utterly shattered!

And it was all because of Ye Chen!

She hated Ye Chen to the bone, but at that moment, Ye Chen smiled disdainfully and said to Xiao Churan, "Honey, let the dogs bite each other. Let's go."

With that, he took Xiao Churan's hand and walked toward the elevator.

Xiao Churan's beautiful eyes trembled slightly. She was so shocked she could hardly believe it. Where had Ye Chen learned so much about Zhao Liqing's dark past?

At the thought, she couldn't help looking at Ye Chen and asking incredulously, "Did you have someone investigate all those things?"

"How could I? I don't have that kind of ability." Ye Chen laughed it off. "A classmate of mine was badly hurt by Zhao Liqing before. He's been digging up dirt on her ever since. I didn't expect it to come in handy now."

As he spoke, Ye Chen led her into the elevator.

As soon as they entered, Ye Chen pressed the button for the top floor. Xiao Churan hurriedly asked, "Ye Chen, did you press the wrong floor? Isn't the Hanging Garden on the top floor?"

Ye Chen smiled. "Honey, the Hanging Garden on the top floor is exactly where we're going!"

At those words, Xiao Churan felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

The Hanging Garden? How was that possible?!

Everyone in Jinling knew that the Hanging Garden had already been booked for the night by a mysterious person.

Even if Ye Chen had heaven-defying abilities, he couldn't possibly have reserved a place in the Hanging Garden to celebrate their third wedding anniversary!

But the next moment, a bold thought suddenly sprang into Xiao Churan's mind: C-could Ye Chen be the mysterious man who booked the entire Hanging Garden?!

Although it sounded like something out of the Arabian Nights, at this point, was there any other possibility besides that explanation?

With that thought, Xiao Churan couldn't help asking, "Ye Chen, was it you who booked the Hanging Garden?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Yes. Today, I'm going to give you the biggest surprise of all! I'm making it up to you with a grand wedding that no one could ever replicate!"

"Huh?"

Xiao Churan felt as though her brain had short-circuited!

If this really was the enormous surprise Ye Chen had prepared for her...

Then wouldn't she be the happiest woman in all of Jinling tonight?

At the thought, Xiao Churan's breathing grew rapid, and she practically lost the ability to think.

Just as her emotions were surging, the elevator reached the top floor of the Buckingham Palace Grand Hotel.

A staff member at the entrance bowed slightly and said with a smile, "Miss Xiao, on behalf of the Buckingham Palace Grand Hotel, I offer you and Mr. Ye our most heartfelt wishes on your wedding anniversary tonight."

Ye Chen waved his hand and said to her, "You can all leave now!"

At once, all the staff departed.

In the entire Hanging Garden, only Xiao Churan and Ye Chen remained, alone together.

Xiao Churan felt as though she were in a dream.

Before her eyes was an enormous, lavishly decorated space.

The magnificent crystal ceiling cast a clear light, lending the entire Hanging Garden an air of elegance and tranquility.

A soft, renowned piano piece filled the Hanging Garden, slowly occupying her heart and making it hard to feel tension or anger.

Fresh, premium flowers flown in from abroad gave off waves of delicate fragrance, neither overpowering nor cloying. Their faint scent changed one's mood, bringing an indescribable sense of peace and beauty.

Then, as the piano music changed, the classic wedding march A Midsummer Night's Dream suddenly began to play, its melodious notes flowing without end.

While Xiao Churan was taking in the beautiful sights, her eyes scarcely able to keep up, Ye Chen had changed into a well-fitted suit and was walking toward her with a bouquet of flowers.

With every step he took, a series of pulsing, gorgeous red hearts rippled across the crystal-glass floor.

It was as though the hearts were dancing to the piano music, creating an immensely powerful visual impact.

At that moment, outside the Hanging Garden, countless people gazed longingly through the crystal-glass exterior walls and floor at everything happening inside.

Their only regret was that all the glass in the Hanging Garden had been made somewhat opaque. They could see a young man and woman inside, as well as clusters of flowers of exquisite beauty.

There were also the red hearts constantly appearing on the floor. Countless women said longingly, "This is so romantic! I've never seen such a romantic scene in my life..."

"If I were that woman, I'd be willing to die right now!"

"Oh my god! That man's silhouette looks just like the mysterious tycoon's in the photos!"

"It's a shame we can't see his face! Oh, this is torture!"

The scenes inside the Hanging Garden completely captivated the onlookers outside, leaving them unable to tear themselves away.

The crowd of more than ten thousand watched in longing and envy. Every gaze was full of good wishes as they looked at the magnificent garden that seemed to float in the air.

Countless women's eyes brimmed with tears as uncontrollable envy rose in their hearts. They were utterly captivated, so jealous that they wished they were the bride at this grand wedding tonight.

Even though people couldn't make out the couple's true faces tonight, they could still sense how happy the bride was at that moment.

Ye Chen walked up to her step by step, pointed to the night view of Jinling beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, and said lovingly, "Churan, I love you! I couldn't give you a wedding back then. I hope you like this wedding, with just the two of us!"

Xiao Churan came back to her senses and covered her mouth, but tears streamed down her cheeks like rain on pear blossoms, falling to the floor like pearls from a broken string.

Hearing his words, Xiao Churan could no longer hold back the emotions surging within her. She stepped forward and threw herself into Ye Chen's arms, tears pouring down like rain as she said, "I love it! I really love it! Thank you, Ye Chen! Thank you!"

At that, Xiao Churan wept so hard she could no longer speak. At that moment, she felt that all the grievances she had suffered over the past three years had been worth it!

No matter how Ye Chen had managed all of this, at least for now, she was extremely happy-and tonight, she was the happiest woman in all of Jinling!
