202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu37KSBnsLP
二人皆將震驚溢於言表，但二人後續得情緒截然不同，何雲軒的情緒較為羞澀與不解，秋語蘭則是嫌棄與憤怒。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Elhga9Gj

何雲軒看向身旁的人，她眼神銳利，抿著嘴雙手握拳，顯然對於突如其來的消息無法認可，何雲軒想再說，卻被呂青芳帶走：「我們先離去，下回見。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ4XCzRwda
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvERRSDcXj3
秋語蘭對著擦身而過的母子頷首示意，面目可憎地走向方才未開口的招弟：「為何隨意決定我的婚事。」202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJad7LBvntQ

秋語蘭一襲鮮紅色嫁衣坐在自家客廳雙眉緊蹙並且閉著眼，任由旁人在她臉上塗抹，家裡父母親忙進忙出，此時，爆竹聲由彼處飄來。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtvZFXFKcQ

202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQTJYRP7hK
眾人沈默一會，連鳥兒都慌張地叫出聲，振翅而飛，新娘卻未有動作，似乎世間時間霎時間暫停，讓招弟急得上前，抬起她的手輕柔地放至何雲軒手上。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmacmCYVvyt
202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWryx9Y4z1w

202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmBhpj2tbM
花轎前頭垂至地面，使秋語蘭輕易跨出步伐，在轎子裡坐穩後她示意何雲軒，後者領意，將布簾放下並跨上馬匹，眾人司其職地啟程不同於來時的路線返回。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5uP2Pe0jC

成親之於秋語蘭未有任何實感，她從花轎上，拉開布簾，端詳著外面，有人點著炮竹，有人抬著花轎、有人興奮地喊著，唯有她還未入戲。202Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmpkadxVAc
