Only you in my love novel Chapter 141

John pulled the numb Nina into his arms. It was the first time that he smiled publicly,

his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.

There was an uproar throughout the banquet hall.

The woman who just insulted Nina was absolutely dumbfounded. She still couldn't believe it as she muttered, "She is your wife?" After saying that, she passed out.

"Mr. Shi is...married?" another woman murmured as she tried to support her friend.

What was going on? The crowd looked around at each other looking for answers.

Nobody could make it out.

"John, what nonsense are you talking about?" Jessica finally snapped out of her astonishment and scowled at John. She barked, "Didn't you know that you are to be engaged to Vivi tonight?"

"No, I didn't," John replied coldly.

Jessica shouted angrily, "Even if you don't like Vivian, you can't just marry anyone to get me off your back."

Vivian's face turned pale. She stood in the middle of the hall with tears in her eyes, looking shattered. She looked at her father beside her and asked, "Dad, what's going on?"

"It's impossible." Howard was possibly as embarrassed as Vivian, but it didn't stop him from gently comforting his daughter.

"Dad, what's going on?" Vivian's mind raced. How could John say that Nina was his wife in front of everyone?

It was unbelievable. Impossible.

Why was John doing this? All just so that he didn't have to get engaged to her?

Looking at his daughter's aggrieved face, Howard felt the irritation consume him. He had no right to question John though. He just didn't have the status. He could only stand idly by and wait to see how this all panned out.

"Let's see what Ms. Shi is going to do first. You're the only one she's going to accept as her sister-in-law so she's bound to help you out."

"That's right. Don't cry. Just listen to your dad and see what happens. It'll be okay." Julie comforted her daughter but her concentration was almost completely stolen by watching the event unfold.

Without replying to Jessica, John cast a glance at Henry, in a plea for some help.

Henry understood and came to explain, "Ms. Shi, look at the copy in your hand and you will understand the authenticity of Mr. Shi's marriage to Mrs. Shi. Ms. Lu is indeed Mr. Shi's legal wife. They have just been hiding their marriage till now."

Only then did Jessica notice the sheet of paper in her hand. She quickly lowered her head and read the document.

Her brother was so handsome and Nina had a bright smile sprawled across her face. The red background gave an air of festivity. It was obvious that they were a newly married couple.

The license number below couldn't be forged, and the seal of the Civil Affairs Bureau couldn't be forged either.

How could she not know that her brother was married?

And he was married to Nina no less?

Jessica raised her head and looked at the two of them, squinting. She had no idea what to say.

The silence in the hall attracted the attention of the people outside. Jason, who had been chatting with his friends outside, came in and looked at his stunned wife. He was urged by John to take Jessica away. He told Jason that she was sick so he hurriedly obeyed John's orders.

Jessica's stunned silence and helpless departure only confirmed that John was indeed married. This woman he held in his arms was actually his wife.

"Is Mr. Shi really married?" Julie said, her voice trembling. She couldn't take her eyes off the apparent married couple.

Were the efforts of her and her daughter going to be in vain?

Julie couldn't bear the sudden blow. Her pregnant body couldn't handle the stress and she fell to the floor.

"Julie..." Howard nervously hurried to pick her up and take her away.

Vivian's attention was so fixated on John that she didn't even notice her mother collapsing. With red eyes, she walked over and bent down to pick up the copy left on the floor.

The copy was so gleefully colorful that it demanded attention. The photo of Nina and John was surprisingly even more eye-catching.

"Why?" Vivian looked at the copy with a heavy heart. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Her hand holding the copy uncontrollably trembled, her fingertips turned pale, and her little face soon lost all its color.

She refused to accept it.

How could John marry another woman?

Vivian wiped the tears from her face, maintaining her elegance and dignity. She walked through the crowd and asked softly, "Brother John, have you married Nina?"

When John heard her say "Brother John," he frowned slightly. Thinking of how jealous Nina got when she heard those words, he looked down at his little girl. She was still stunned in his arms.

'She's always responsive girl. Why is she still in a daze now?'

It made sense, though. When John first heard the news that he and Nina were a couple, it took him more than half a day to calm down. How could the little girl be calmer than him?

John didn't show it, but he was overjoyed.

However, he wasn't going extend this joy to Vivian. His face turned cold as he began bellowing out his warnings.

"My little girl is still young and she needs a sense of security. Miss Ye, please call me Mr. Shi like others from now on."

"Bro..." Vivian was broken-hearted, but she didn't dare to disobey him. She had to correct herself. "Mr. Shi."

Vivian had called him Brother John since childhood. She was never treated like any normal person. Everyone thought that the two of them were a couple.

Now, Nina appeared and snatched the position of John's wife. And Vivian had to call John Mr. Shi from now on.

Vivian gritted her teeth. She hated Nina with a burning passion. She wanted to tear up the marriage licenses in her hand and tear Nina into pieces.

All the bigwigs in Lexingport City and the media were here. She couldn't outwardly show any malice in front of all these people. She couldn't embarrass the Ye family, nor could she bring shame on herself.

"It turns out that Mr. Shi and Nina have been married. Congratulations!" Vivian maintained an elegant smile and congratulated them gracefully. She turned around and said to the media, "Please keep this a secret. Mr. Shi doesn't like to be reported."

Everyone was well aware that John hated being in the news, so nobody thought there was anything wrong with what she said. Instead, they thought she was a considerate lady.

Everyone knew that Vivian liked John. Over the years, she had been the only one by his side. Everyone thought that they would one day get married. Nobody even thought for a moment that it would all be in vain. It was even less likely that that a girl with no fame, such as Nina, would win John's heart.

Vivian's incredible tolerance won over the sympathy of all in attendance. Out of all this, at least she gained some real reputation.

The reporters hoped they would get an interesting scoop tonight and even though they did, they couldn't report any of it.

However, just as they dejectedly left, a blaring voice from John cheered them up.

"It doesn't matter. Just let my assistant have a look at the reports first before you release them." He just wanted everyone to know that Nina was his wife, so nobody dared to approach her in the future.

"Hurry up. This is big news." The group of reporters swarmed up and took photos of them.

The media's camera flashes and noise finally sobered Nina up. Looking at the reporters in front of her and the man holding her, her jaw dropped again.

She was stunned and stood as still as a statue.

After a while, she realized that this was really happening. She lowered her head and stared at the marriage licenses in her hand again.

She didn't bother checking whether the marriage licenses were true or not. Instead, her attention was pulled by their photo.

John's short hair was in a mess, his eyes were slightly narrowed, his eyebrows were scrunched and the corners of his mouth were twitching.

Was it really John? Was this the same man who cared so much about his image and appearance?

She took a closer look and low and behold, it was him.

Squinting her eyes, Nina said in disgust, "John, you are so ugly."

Then she raised his wristwatch and scanned the marriage license. Nina input the information of the marriage license and took a photo at the same time.

After taking the photo as quickly and discreetly as possible, Nina started planning to make this photo of John into stickers.

The smile on John's face froze immediately.

Damn this photo!
