Chapter 107 I will never love anyone more than myself in this life

After Feng Mingzhou was discharged from the hospital, the two met only a few times.

He no longer pressed her as hard as he did when she was in the hospital, and Gu Manman was happy to have some peace and quiet, so she devoted her energy to the operation of the foundation and the preparations for Su Yu's wedding.

On Lanman Island, the sea breeze, with its salty and humid warmth, blows through the archway decorated with white roses and tulle.

Su Yu was wearing a wedding dress, holding Gu Manman's hand and chattering.

Gu Manman smiled and helped her adjust her veil: "Our Su Yu is the most beautiful among all the beauties today, the most beautiful in the universe."

Seeing the undisguised happiness on her friend's face, her heart was also warmed.

It’s great that Su Yu found her home.

The ceremony is about to begin and guests are taking their seats.

As the bridesmaid, Gu Manman stood in the designated position, looking over the crowd, ready to welcome the arrival of the groom.

Just then, a familiar figure came into her sight.

Feng Mingzhou.

How come he is here?

He was wearing a light blue shirt with smooth shoulder lines, which made his figure look even taller and more slender. Even at a close distance, one could still feel his compelling presence.

He stared at her through the crowd, his brows relaxed and a bright smile appeared at the corners of his lips.

Gu Manman's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously looked away, pretending not to see him.

The wedding march sounded and the groom walked towards Su Yu excitedly.

Gu Manman took a deep breath, tried to draw her attention back to the ceremony in front of her, and put on a decent smile on her face.

The ceremony ended and the guests applauded and cheered.

Gu Manman accompanied Su Yu to accept the blessings.

What bothered her was that she also saw several other familiar faces.

Lin Anbo held a wine glass and greeted people with a gentle smile, but his eyes drifted towards her from time to time.

Zhou Mubai leaned against the bar, looking lazy, a cigarette between his fingers, looking at this side with a half-smile.

There was also Deng Yaochen. He was very direct. His eyes moved back and forth between Gu Manman and Feng Mingzhou, making no effort to hide his observation.

What the hell is going on? I hope Feng Mingzhou doesn't go crazy today.

Gu Manman felt a dull pain in her temple.

The party after the wedding ceremony was lively, with music and the sound of waves interweaving.

Su Yu stood in the middle of the lawn, holding up the bouquet, smiling: "Sisters! I'm going to throw it! The next person who catches it will get married!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a scream at the scene.

Su Yu threw the bouquet into the air.

"Ah!" A girl in a goose yellow dress screamed, and the bouquet fell right into her arms.

The girl is holding flowers with red cheeks.

Before anyone could react, the girl's boyfriend suddenly knelt on one knee, pulled out a velvet box from his pocket and opened it.

"marry me!"

The scene instantly erupted into even louder cheers and boos.

"Promise him! Promise him!"

The girl nodded vigorously.

The boy put the ring on her hand, stood up, hugged her tightly in his arms, and kissed her deeply.

"Oh——!" People around were clapping and whistling, and the atmosphere reached its climax.

Gu Manman stood there, watching this romantic scene, and applauded along with the crowd.

After a long while, the crowd gradually dispersed and the noise died down.

Gu Manman turned around and wanted to look for Su Yu who had changed into her toast dress.

She looked up suddenly.

Feng Mingzhou looked down at her, his eyes full of deep emotions.

She was wearing a lavender halter dress, which made her skin look even whiter. Her long, slightly curly hair was blown up by the sea breeze. Her eyes were still slightly moist and bright because of the emotion she had just felt.

This beach dotted with flowers made him feel sour and swollen at heart.

He wanted so badly to give her a wedding like this, and wanted her to belong to him completely.

"Very touched?"

Gu Manman calmed herself down, took a step back, and widened the distance between the two of them that was too close.

"As long as it is happiness, it is worth being touched."

Feng Mingzhou's gaze swept across the slightly red corners of her eyes, then fell back to her face, and the curve of the corners of his lips deepened a little.

"What about ours?"

Gu Manman frowned: "What do you mean ours?"

"Our happiness." He looked at her, his eyes so focused that it seemed as if everything around him didn't exist. "When will you let others be moved?"

Gu Manman looked at the beach in the distance and did not answer.

He spoke again tentatively: "Manman, don't you think... the layout here looks familiar?"

Gu Manman: "Of course it looks familiar. I was in charge of arranging Su Yu's wedding, from the venue to the details."

"Really? I remember you said before that you like to have your wedding at the seaside."

"That was before. I don't like it now."

Feng Mingzhou asked nervously, "Why?"

Gu Manman met his gaze, her eyes showing no trace of joking: "I am not in favor of marriage now."

"Feng Mingzhou, I just agreed to let you pursue me."

"However, there are some things I need to explain to you first, so as not to waste everyone's time later."

"I don't believe in marriage, and I'm a DINK."

She paused and made her words more thorough.

"Also, I will never be able to love anyone more than myself in my life."

After going through so much, she no longer had any illusions about so-called love and marriage.

A sense of security can only be given to yourself.

The smile on Feng Mingzhou's face had long frozen, and Gu Manman could clearly see the grief in his eyes, but she still did not let Feng Mingzhou go.

She pulled the corners of her mouth and said with a hint of teasing, "Besides... Mr. Feng, haven't you already held a wedding? Marriage is something that only needs to be experienced once. There's really no need to be so obsessed with it."

The color drained from Feng Mingzhou's face.

"That's different."

He spoke with difficulty, "That... means nothing to me."

"Manman, you know."

His eyes were fixed on hers, with an almost pleading pain.

"Not getting married...DINK..."

"Is it because of...the things that happened in the past?"

"Is it because of the Qin family, or because of... me?"

He didn't dare to think about it any further, as it would suffocate him.

"You said you couldn't love anyone more than yourself..."

"It doesn't matter."

"If you love yourself, that's fine."

"I just ask... you to give me a little space in your heart, okay?"

Gu Manman: "Feng Mingzhou, I've made it very clear."

"That's it between us."

"You can pursue me, but the result... I have already told you."

"I may never be able to love you again without reservation, or I may have already lost the ability to love."

"Don't waste your time on me."

Feng Mingzhou looked at her resolute profile and felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

But the pain in his eyes was slowly replaced by a more stubborn light.

He took a step forward, approaching her, and his tall figure completely enveloped her.

"result?"

"As long as I'm not dead, as long as you're still in front of me, the outcome is still undecided."

"Manman, I won't give up."

"Never."

"Whether you love me or not, just allow me to love you."
