Ruan Zhiyin had fantasized about her wedding countless times.
She was only four or five years old when she was lost due to the negligence of her elders. After hiding in Tibet for a year with the traffickers, she was rescued by the keen Gu Linlang and went to the orphanage.
Although it is an orphanage, the dean's mother treats the children very well. When she was a teenager, she and Gu Linlang secretly chatted under the covers, with longing for their future family in their hearts.
Gu Linlang said that she wanted to wear a wedding dress she designed to enter the palace, and she wanted to buy a large wedding room. The decoration did not need to be luxurious, but it should have the taste of home.
The two often taunt each other,
Then laugh together.
At that time, my wish was very simple. I was admitted to university, worked hard, and had the ability to build my own family. Then, like the older brothers and sisters who have left the orphanage, they will help the children of the orphanage to continue their education.
Later, she was taken back to the Ruan family and became a 'the rich lady' in the eyes of the children of the orphanage. Many goals were achieved in an instant.
It's just that when she was ten years old, her parents unfortunately encountered a car accident on the way to find her, and both died. In the entire Ruan family, only grandfather was left as a true relative.
She still longs for a complete home, and even more for a wedding that belongs to her.
But Ruan Zhiyin did not expect that the wedding she had been looking forward to for many years would become so absurd.
The scene of accompanying Gu Linlang in the orphanage seemed to be yesterday, but with a flick of her finger, she was already wearing a wedding dress designed by Gu Linlang, standing behind the door leading to the hotel banquet hall.
She lowered her head and caught a glimpse of the bright shimmer of broken diamonds in the white tulle. Every pearl on the wedding dress was sewn by Gu Linlang herself, like a dream.
On behalf of Gu Linlang's most sincere wishes.
Ruan Zhiyin remembered that when she put on her wedding dress for the first time, Gu Linlang hugged her and cried out of breath with tears in her eyes.
Her eyes were slightly astringent, and she let out a long sigh of relief. She didn't see any emotion on her face, but she straightened her back silently.
Across from the banquet hall.
The voices of the guests’ voices were clearly heard in the ears—
"Master Qin escaped from the marriage and the wedding will not be canceled. Is Ruan Zhiyin making a joke?"
"Ruan Zhiyin is pitiful. After being behind Qin Jue for so many years, and accompanying Qin Jue to endure hardships in the United States, she ended up in such a big embarrassment."
"Not to mention that Lin Jingfei is amazing, Young Master Qin went abroad for her back then, but now he is running away from marriage for her, it's really affectionate enough."
"That is, Mr. Qin is too old-fashioned. Otherwise, based on Qin Jue's feelings for Lin Jingfei, she would have married into the Qin family back then."
Many people know that when Qin Jue and Lin Jingfei were dating, there were rumors that Young Master Qin wanted to replace the candidate for marriage with the Ruan family to Lin Jingfei.
"The family is fortunate. Although she is a granddaughter, Ruan Zhiyin's parents are gone, and Lin Jingfei's father, who is in the family, is in power. Sooner or later, Ruan's family will change her surname to Lin."
"What's the use of Ruan Zhiyin's hard work? In the end, she was not abandoned by Qin Jue, and she lost the capital to challenge Lin Cheng. Even if Mr. Qin refused to let her marry in, Qin Jue would not fight against Lin Jingfei's father for her. "
…
Ruan Zhiyin closed her eyes as if she didn't hear anything.
The waiter moved from left to right and slowly pushed open the heavy door in front of her.
In the banquet hall, the lights dimmed suddenly, and the chatter stopped abruptly.
The venue was decorated in a romantic and dreamy way, with soft-curved lanterns embellishing the flowers and grasses beside the stage, like a sky full of stars and as gorgeous as fireflies. The flowers are fresh and delicate, with a faint scent of flowers lingering on the tip of the nose, just like being in a forest in the dark night.
The gentle beam of light hit the stage, and Cheng Yuelin's face was tainted softly. He was wearing an elegant and decent dark suit and stood quietly at the end of the guests' eyes.
The door of the promenade has been opened, Ruan Zhiyin looked at the groom outside the line, and walked forward step by step.
This scene was very much like the dream she had been looking forward to for many years.
The two flower girls were wearing neat little suits and small skirts, and they walked in front with petals scattered. They were the twins that Ye Yanchu had brought from her aunt's house.
After being smeared by the bear child, Xu Ershao, who was leaning on the stage, took the lead in reacting from the sluggishness and muttered: "Wait, why is there a bridegroom? Am I right? That seems to be Cheng Yuelin?!"
Young Master Wang, who was sitting next to Xu Fei, opened his eyes wide and snorted softly: "Tsk, are the Qin family and the Ruan family taking turns teasing us today? The groom was ruthless and ran away from the marriage. "
"What did the Ruan family do to someone like Cheng Yuelin?"
Wang Xin slapped Xu Fei on the forehead: "What kind of person? The Qin family doesn't dare to be hard on this lunatic, how dare you offend him? Cheng Yuelin was not the one who was mocked five years ago, so be careful."
Xu Fei rubbed his head in pain: "No, I mean how could someone like Cheng Yuelin appear here and become a groom?!"
Wang Xin looked at a fool: "Can't you understand?"
Xu Fei shook his head, "I don't understand."
Wang Xin said, "How can this young master have such a stupid brother as you, you forgot the grievance between Cheng Yuelin and Qin Jue? Cheng Yuelin smashed Qin Jue's front teeth with a stone when he was five years old, and was beaten by his grandfather with a feather duster for half a month. Didn't get out of bed."
Xu Fei frowned, thinking that it was the old yellow calendar many years ago, and the two of them had not seen anything before
He thought so in his heart, but he was not ashamed to ask: "Even if they don't deal with it, but then what?"
Wang Xin's face was full of secrecy, and he stretched out his hand to let Xu Fei turn his ear, and his tone was very solemn—
"He, come, rob, kiss, come!"
"Don't offend Cheng Yuelin, see, he actually remembered a meal of feather dusters for 20 years! You gave me a beating, and I'll rob your daughter-in-law after 20 years! Ruth, too ruthless!"
Xu Fei suddenly realized, and nodded in agreement: "Well, Cheng Yuelin doesn't seem to be able to offend, Ruan Zhiyin..."
"I said you're an idiot, don't you understand? A man who has been in love for seven or eight years will give up when he says he gives up, and the bridegroom at the wedding slaps the Qin family hard, completely breaking the possibility of being with Qin Jue. Such a woman who breaks up , how ruthless!"
After Wang Xinlu finished speaking, he pouted again: "What's more ruthless is that Cheng Yuelin is married. Do you think about how bad their relationship was at the beginning? Damn, why Ruan Zhiyin can't think about it so much? It's okay to consider this young master."
He was embarrassed to say that he secretly had a crush on Ruan Zhiyin back then.
In fact, Ruan Zhiyin is beautiful, and many people liked her in high school. It's just that she is too good, and because she is Qin Jue's fiancée, she doesn't deal with Cheng Yuelin.
Some of them couldn't figure out what Qin Jue meant, and some were afraid of being targeted by Cheng Yuelin, but no one dared to confess.
Xu Fei didn't pay attention to his friend's careful thoughts at all, and said righteously: "You are right, the woman who can be the first in the class, I thought it was not easy back then, she was a ruthless person! Look at us, the last and last match. The penultimate one, at first glance, it's not ruthless enough!"
Wang Xin: "Go away!!!"
Looking at Ruan Zhiyin in a wedding dress, Gu Linlang was in a complicated mood at first, but now she was laughed at by Lan Zhong Er Silly at the same table.
She picked up the wine glass and sipped, and glanced at the woman next to her: "Miss Wang, don't look so ugly. You and Lin Jingfei can play tricks, but others can't retaliate?"
Wang Xiwei and Lin Jingfei had a good relationship. In other words, Wang Xiwei felt that the seats of Mrs. Ruan and Mrs. Qin would be in the Lin family's pocket sooner or later, so she made a bet in advance to please Lin Jingfei.
At this moment, I guess I want to see what Ruan Zhiyin is going to do for the other party.
The Wang family attacked Cheng Yuelin after Cheng's father was imprisoned. Later, Cheng Yuelin made a comeback and began to feel guilty again. In the past few years, the Wang family has devised a plan to let Wang Xiwei go to Cheng Yuelin, so that the former feud will be wiped out, and Wang Xiwei is also quite active.
It's just that Cheng Yuelin never paid attention to the thoughts of the Wang family.
While Wang Xiwei was thinking about Cheng Yuelin, she hung her client's boyfriend as a spare tire.
This is unbearable.
So Gu Linlang curled her lips and pointedly towards the groom and bride who seemed to be a good match on the stage—
"Well, Miss Wang, who are you saying is a joke? Yinyin told me that Mr. Cheng is going to use the Wang family."
—
The people in the audience have different thoughts, but the stage has successfully progressed to the VCR stage.
The groom's part was briefly passed by the host, and on the huge screen, old photos of Ruan Zhiyin's memories were being rotated. There were very few left in the orphanage, most of whom were taken back to the Ruan family.
The short film has already been made, and even if it is temporarily deleted, Qin Jue's figure will inevitably appear in it.
Perhaps the photos condensed the memory, or perhaps the background music was too soothing and touching. Suddenly, many vivid images appeared in Ruan Zhiyin's mind—
She thought of the day she first arrived at Ruan's house.
The boy in the school uniform was still a little green. The afternoon sunlight hit him gently. He turned his head, and Mo Che's eyes were clear.
Looking at her who pretended to be calm, but was actually nervous, she smiled and stretched out her hand: "Yinyin, right, I'm Qin Jue, don't be afraid."
…
When she just transferred schools, that was when she was most depressed.
She put away all the edges and corners and carefully integrated into the life around her. But every sentence that meant something was replayed in her ears. Bumper, hillbilly.
Some people sympathize, some despise, but they all make her more silent. It was the youth's maintenance that blocked those discussions and made her feel relieved.
…
The first time I really felt despair was in that airtight equipment room.
She clearly remembered that the darkness devoured her little by little, and the gloomy cold image was like insects digging into the crevices of the bones.
His breathing became short of breath, and when he was about to lose hope, he rushed back from the competition.
…
The name Qin Jue seems to have no shortcomings.
Excellent grades, distinguished status, gentle and polite, and calm and confident. Like a distant existence, a star far away in the sky.
However, the once out of reach boy, when he folded his proud wings later, hugged her tightly in the basement of New York—
"Zhiyin, after returning to China, we will get married."
…
Ruan Zhiyin had looked forward to life after returning to China.
But at that time, she didn't know that every dispute between the two after returning to China would drain all her strength.
"Zhiyin, your prejudice against Jingfei is too great."
"Azheng said that Jingfei needs some scandals to maintain her popularity when her career is on the rise. Zhiyin, you don't need to worry too much."
"Jingfei made a mistake when she attended the event. I gave her the set of jewelry at the auction... Zhiyin, if you don't like jewelry, it's not that important to you."
"Assistant Jingfei said she was drunk. That director harassed her before. Zhiyin, I have to go there. We'll make it up tomorrow on Valentine's Day, okay?"
"Jingfei has already explained to you that we are nothing, why do you have to be aggressive?"
"Jingfei is your cousin, and she also cares about your relationship. Do you have to make it difficult for me?"
"Zhiyin, you were not like this before, why did you become so mean?"
The last dispute was when she learned that Qin Jue had arranged Lin Zhe in the Qin family on the eve of the wedding.
She wouldn't give in to the argument that time, and Qin Jue... eyes were full of disappointment with herself.
…
There was a sudden dull pain in the knuckles, the memory came to an abrupt end, and the man's low voice sounded in his ears—
"Ruan Zhiyin," Cheng Yuelin frowned and lowered his voice, "Look up and look at me."
Ruan Zhiyin came back to her senses, raised her eyes in response, and bumped into the dark and deep pupils of the other party, her expression still a little dazed.
"Your expression now is even uglier than crying. Why, do you regret it, or admit defeat?" Cheng Yuelin's voice was neither salty nor light, but there was a hint of cold ridicule.
The dazzling and delicate silver wedding ring was held by someone. It was supposed to be the moment when the bride and groom exchanged rings, but after Cheng Yuelin took her hand, he stopped there with one hand in his pocket.
There were light red marks on Ruan Zhiyin's slender knuckles, the man looked at her coldly and indifferently, and there was an indistinguishable meaning flowing from the bottom of his deep eyes.
She understood what he meant, and if she really regretted it, this was the last time she could go back.
She could leave behind the crowd of guests, the gossip that followed, and leave this place without looking back—
Disappeared at the wedding like Qin Jue, and at the same time conceded defeat in this match.
Cheng Yuelin's expression at the moment seems to be asking her silently: Ruan Zhiyin, so you will admit defeat
In an instant, she had made a decision.
Ruan Zhiyin took a deep breath and completely calmed down.
She took the silver-glowing male ring, and her eyes seemed provocative: "Cheng Yuelin, are you here to mock me?"
"What do you think?"
Cheng Yuelin raised his eyebrows, watching her push the male ring to the end like revenge, and returned to her cynical idleness.
Glancing at the ring on his hand, he took the female ring slowly, lowered his head, and slowly put it on her ring finger.
"Ruan 嘤嘤, didn't you hear Wang Xin's foolish words? I clearly sacrificed my innocence." After a pause, he raised his eyes and murmured, "Come and grab it, dear."
"I've barely become a groom..."
"So?"
"I'm expensive, you gotta do better."
As if to confirm this statement.
The next second, he leaned down—
The thin lips were slightly cold, and they kissed the corner of her mouth.
The warm palm rested on the back of the head, the two of them were too close together, and the tip of the nose was lingering with the refreshing fragrance of pine wood, and the faint smell of smoke lingering in it.
…
Ruan Zhiyin's eyes were slightly wide, and her eyelashes were trembling. Before she could react, he got up and pulled away.
"Please advise, Mrs. Cheng."
