Chapter 364: Gunfire
Basilica of San Niccolò at dusk.

Regardless of the process, Nono arrived at the place where the engagement was made. The sun was setting and the cathedral was covered with a golden glow.

Nuonuo jumped off the motorcycle and looked up at Chen Wangsheng, who was standing on the highest step, with a calm expression.

Chen Wangsheng's eyes were not on his daughter, but on Xia Mo in the audience. His eyes were sharp with scrutiny and questioning. An ordinary girl would be frightened by his majesty as a superior.

Xia Mo and Chen Wangsheng smiled calmly. It wasn't that she didn't respect her elders. According to seniority, her seniority was probably higher than anyone else present.

Thus, Chen Wangsheng's show of authority melted away in Xia Mo's smile, making the latter realize that it was useless to keep a cold and sour face.

The person standing on Chen Wangsheng's side was Frost. His blood pressure rose as soon as he saw Xia Mo. This was the first time they had met, and it was rare for someone to make Gattuso, the acting head of the family, almost have a cerebral hemorrhage.

It's Xia Mo again!

Frost suspected that he and Xia Mo were born incompatible. Didn't Percy warn Xia Mo not to meddle in other people's business? What qualifications did she have to interfere in Gattuso's family affairs?

"Nono, apologize!" Chen Wangsheng shifted his gaze to Nono and glared at him, "You have caused trouble to many people today. How did I teach you?"

"What have you taught me? When have you ever taken care of us since we were little? If your educational philosophy is survival of the fittest, just like raising insects, then just ignore what I said." Nuonuo retorted, not giving his father any face in public.

Chen Wangsheng felt heartbroken when he heard this. Nuo Nuo was his most beloved child when he was little. Now he was heartbroken to see that his sweet little cotton-padded jacket was leaking.

Chen Wangsheng's face was gloomy, but he didn't want to lose his temper on the spot, so he patiently told Nuo Nuo.

"We'll talk about our misunderstanding when we get back. You're angry with me, but the uncles and aunts present are innocent. They happily attended your engagement ceremony, but you stood them up until now. It's reasonable for you to apologize to them, right?"

Hearing this, Nuonuo glanced at the people standing on the steps one by one. They were not guests but bodyguards on full alert. Chen Wangsheng and Frost knew that there would be some arguments and they couldn't afford to lose face, so they asked the guests to wait in the church first.

The guests who came were all prominent families with whom Gattuso and the Chen family had long-standing ties.

Faced with Chen Wangsheng's moral kidnapping, Nuonuo asked rationally.

"I don't even know them. Did I agree to the invitations? I was imprisoned and restricted at the time... How dare you stand on the moral high ground and talk to me?"

After saying that, Nuonuo raised her red hair and sighed to the arrogant Chen Wangsheng.

"I don't want to embarrass you, so I'll just call you father...Father, is this engagement ceremony between Caesar and me, or between the Chen family and Gattuso?"

Chen Wangsheng's face changed and he was about to scold Nuonuo, but Frost on the side spoke first.

"Nono, you may have misunderstood. This is just an engagement ceremony, not a real wedding. The Gattuso family and the Chen family had a childhood marriage before you and Caesar were born. This engagement ceremony is also to fulfill the original promise."

"Caesar is an excellent child, a man worthy of entrusting your life to," Frost smiled. "There's an old Chinese saying that goes, 'get married first, then fall in love, as love grows stronger with time.' You two can get along as fiancée for a while first, and if you're not suitable, it's not too late to break up."

The story of the child marriage was of course a lie made up by Frost. He said sincerely, "It was my uncle who neglected your thoughts and made you unhappy. I apologize to you for that."

Things have come to this point, and smart people should know how to back down smoothly.

But Nuonuo has been a rebellious child since she was young. Why should she marry someone she doesn’t like, and the other person doesn’t like her either? Do you think this is a romantic comedy? Nine out of ten people who get married first and then fall in love end up getting divorced.

Going through the divorce procedures is much more troublesome than breaking up with just one sentence...Nono hates wasting time.

Just as Nono was about to speak, Caesar appeared. He was kicked out by Pompey.

The rich and handsome Caesar attracted everyone's attention. Ignoring the shoe prints on his butt, Caesar looked calm. He first looked at Xia Mo and then at Nuonuo.

Frost saw Caesar appear and angrily looked at Pompey who was in the corner making an OK gesture to him. Didn't he ask his brother to keep an eye on Caesar? !

Frost had a bad feeling. Nono looked into Caesar's eyes and said seriously, "Caesar, I don't like you and I won't marry you."

Although Caesar was broken off in public, he did not get angry but smiled.

"It just so happens that I don't like you either."

"Let's shake hands and make peace, and each of us will find our own destiny."

Caesar walked up to Nuonuo, shook hands with her in a friendly manner, and winked at Xia Mo.

Xia Mo nodded.

Frost was exhausted by this scene, but Caesar still made him worry. What did he care about if his family lost face?

Each and every one of them was supported by their family but betrayed their family.

Caesar and Nono are freedom-loving by nature. Some birds cannot have their wings tied. Gattuso and the Chen family should be more ruthless and use alchemical potions and spiritual words to control the two like puppets. They should hold an engagement ceremony first to confirm their identities.

Pompey showed up to show his presence. He said seriously that this was not decent and he would punish anyone who dared to drug his son!
Chen Wangsheng also didn't like using this method. Why was it that only Nuonuo was drugged? This was unfair.

Inexplicably want to save face.

Now, here comes the problem.

Caesar and Nono both disobeyed the orders of their elders.

The sun is setting.

This deadlock is not a solution.

Frost ordered the bodyguards to take Caesar and Nono back to rest, and Chen Wangsheng agreed.

Caesar stood on Nono's side and whispered that his weapons had been taken away, so what else did you have that you could use?

Nuonuo said yes and looked at Xia Mo who was just watching from the sidelines.

Xia Mo had already gotten off the car and stood in front of Nono Caesar, protecting the two of them behind her, and drew her gun and fired three shots into the air.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

"What do you want to do? Xia Mo! You are violating the Commissioner's Code. I am a director of the academy and have the right to expel you!" Frost said angrily.

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to prove that I'm capable of protecting Nuonuo. Let me take her back to rest."

Xia Mo glanced around as she spoke. Her eyes were red-gold, like flowing lava in the dusk. Her overwhelming majesty enveloped the black-clad thugs who had stopped in their tracks, and they couldn't help but shudder.

Xia Mo looked at Frost and Chen Wangsheng again. The two leaders of extraordinary bloodlines were stunned by the pair of golden eyes and were speechless for a while.

After intimidating the scoundrel, Xia Mo turned around, stretched out her long legs and sat on the seat of the Yamaha VaMX1700. She turned the key, and the engine let out a high-pitched roar. The whole heavy bike vibrated slightly, ready to go. Xia Mo calmly waited for Nuo Nuo to finish his last words.
