Chapter 28

Many fairy tales end with the protagonist getting married.

The prince saved the princess, and the two held a grand wedding and lived happily together forever.

It seems that the word "marriage" is a magic spell that brings happiness. As long as you enter the palace of marriage, your life will end perfectly and there will be no more suffering.

But in reality, marriage is not necessarily the beginning of happiness, it may also be the starting point of a nightmare.

All living beings suffer, and it is difficult to feel sorrow and joy. No one can easily save anyone else.

If a person lives a happy life after marriage, it is likely that she was already happy, rather than relying on marriage to change her previous failed life.

Shen Fengni raised her eyes.

The mirror was clear, reflecting her graceful figure clearly.

The pure white, airy wedding dress, layered and folded, resembled a dreamy cloud. Beaded with sequins and diamonds, the hem of the dress shimmered beautifully under the light.

"Ms. Shen, you are so beautiful."

I heard the staff's sincere praise from behind me.

The custom-made wedding dress perfectly outlined Shen Fengni's figure, every detail impeccable. If there was one flaw... it was that the bride's emotions were a bit too calm. Normally, walking hand in hand with one's beloved should be filled with joy and excitement.

After hearing this, Shen Fengni's expression remained calm, she just turned around and smiled faintly.

Her red lips opened and closed. "Thank you."

"Feng Ni, my parents are here, come with me."

Yu Qian walked in from outside and greeted her with a smile.

As another protagonist of the wedding, Yu Qian naturally wore a wedding dress. The style was similar to Shen Fengni's, but it was more charming.

Both of them are beautiful, but they don't care about each other's beauty. In addition, time is tight, so they even skipped the compliments to each other and went straight to the next step.

The process of this wedding is not complicated. After all the guests arrive, there will be a formal wedding ceremony, followed by a wedding banquet. There are also a few miscellaneous interactive sessions afterward, which are relatively casual.

Chen Fengni and Yu Qian walked to the door of the auditorium together. Both parents had arrived first and were greeting the guests.

When he saw the two of them, he couldn't help but say some considerate and polite words.

Like Chen Fengni's parents, Yu Qian's parents were also superficially harmonious and had their own affairs, but they still managed to put on a good show. They chatted back and forth, their faces beaming with smiles, impeccable.

The guests in front of her were all strangers, so Shen Fengni had no chance to get a word in. She just greeted them politely and stood aside as a vase.

I just had to keep smiling, and the muscles on my face were a little stiff.

The guests' words were more or less the same, repeating the same few sentences over and over again. Chen Feng Niman listened carelessly, letting them go in one ear and out the other.

"Mr. Jiang, you're here. Welcome, welcome."

The sudden rise in tone made Shen Fengni's heart tremble.

She raised her eyes and saw a slender figure approaching from afar.

Jiang Zhuoyan was wearing a white dress today. It was made of light silk. The one-shoulder design was elegant and beautiful, and the slim fit showed off her exquisite figure.

She was already over 170cm tall and was wearing a pair of pointed high heels. When she walked towards me quickly, I felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Chen Fengni had heard Yu Qian mention that, given the status of their two families in Qinglan City, inviting someone from the Jiang family to the wedding was considered marrying above their station.

At the time, they had only tentatively invited Jiang Zhuoyan, not holding out much hope that she would come. Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhuoyan accepted without hesitation, leaving everyone overjoyed.

"Mr. Jiang, long time no see."

Yu Qian's father completely lost his previous smile, and the smile on his face was almost flattering. "You are so busy and yet you come all the way here. It's really hard work."

Although Jiang Zhuoyan is a junior, the Jiang family's influence in Qinglan City is overwhelming, and no one dares to underestimate them, so even Yu Qian's parents still have to respectfully address them as "you".

Others also joined in, expressing their gratitude and praising Jiang Zhuoyan's outfit.

Faced with everyone's flattery, Jiang Zhuoyan's expression did not change much. He just nodded lightly and responded casually with a few words.

Shen Fengni looked at Jiang Zhuoyan who was surrounded by the crowd, and somehow, she suddenly thought of her own funeral.

That day, Jiang Zhuoyan walked a long way alone along the mountain road and placed a bouquet of white roses in front of her tombstone. She still remembers the appearance of the white roses, soft and white, the only bright color in her memory.

She didn't have much contact with Jiang Zhuoyan, but she attended her wedding and her funeral, which can be considered a wonderful fate.

Shen Fengni thought to herself.

"I need to make a phone call, so I'll go in first."

Jiang Zhuoyan's cold voice reached his ears, with a tone that could not be refused.

Chen Fengni guessed that she was probably tired of socializing and wanted to escape from the scene, so she found such an excuse.

She smiled and said goodbye to Jiang Zhuoyan along with the others, "Goodbye, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Zhuoyan took two steps and suddenly stopped.

She turned her face sideways and said, “Miss Shen is very beautiful today.”

After she finished speaking, she turned and left without saying anything else, and without waiting for Shen Fengni's reply.

"Feng Ni, do you know Mr. Xiao Jiang?"

Yu Qian glanced at Jiang Zhuoyan's departing back, then turned to look at Chen Fengni.

The parents on both sides were equally confused, and several pairs of eyes looked over at the same time.

Shen Fengni had heard the same question once in her previous life, and it made her feel as if she was in another world.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Zhuoyan seemed to have always taken good care of her, which made others raise such questions.

Shen Fengni answered truthfully, "We met for the first time yesterday. Mr. Jiang came here to handle some work, and we met by chance."

Yu Qian's eyes moved slightly, with a hint of inquiry in their eyes. "Just an encounter?"

Everyone said Jiang Zhuoyan was unattainable, and even a ladder to heaven couldn't reach her sleeve. Yu Qian had no doubt that if she ran into Jiang Zhuoyan by chance, she would ignore her, let alone Shen Fengni.

Shen Fengni said: "Mr. Xiao Jiang said he had watched my live broadcast, so we chatted for a while."

She didn't mention the signing that Jiang Zhuoyan mentioned. Firstly, she would have no contact with the two families in the future, so there was no need to say more; secondly, after experiencing the painful lessons in her previous life, she had to consider it carefully.

If everyone knew that this thing that had no intention of happening was not going to happen, it would be an insult to Jiang Zhuoyan.

Yu Qian thought thoughtfully, "So that's how it is."

She felt anxious for a moment.

She wanted to completely control Shen Fengni in her hands and use her for her own benefit without any extra thoughts. Now that Shen Fengni was in a relationship with Jiang Zhuoyan, it was not a good thing for her.

We have to hurry up and sign the contract.

Yu Qian's eyes dimmed, and she said nonchalantly, "Boss Jiang is very busy. Don't bother him if you have nothing to do. You'll make him unhappy."

Shen Fengni saw through her inner thoughts and mocked her in her heart, but she just smiled and said, "I know."

After all the guests arrived, the ceremony officially began.

Everything went smoothly and every step was in order.

The windows are spacious and the entire auditorium is bathed in natural light. Everything in sight is covered with a layer of soft light, sacred and beautiful.

Chen Fengni held her father's arm and walked across the red carpet step by step.

The long skirt trails behind her, and the diamonds sparkle like scattered stars.

Everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Shen Fengni walked towards the end of the red carpet with a calm demeanor.

After her father handed her to Yu Qian, there was another long speech.

Shen Fengni was thinking about what was going to happen next and didn't listen carefully until the emcee began to say the wedding vows. Then she came to her senses.

"I do."

As soon as the host finished speaking, Yu Qian answered.

She spoke with a firm tone, looking at Shen Fengni with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness and impeccable performance.

The emcee smiled, then turned to Shen Fengni and said the same wedding vows.

"Chen Fengni, are you willing to marry Yu Qian? From today on, regardless of poverty or wealth, health or sickness... are you willing?"

The familiar oath rang out again, and Shen Fengni's heartbeat quickened. The fingers hanging by her side tightened slightly, pulling a faint wrinkle out of the hem of her skirt.

Yu Qian noticed the change in Shen Fengni's mood and thought it was because she was too nervous about the wedding.

Sure enough, she was overthinking it when they were having dinner together two days ago. She actually felt that Chen Fengni had suddenly become a different person. Now it seems that she is still the fool immersed in love.

After the wedding was over, she coaxed him a little, but he still let her control him obediently.

As Yu Qian thought about it, the smile on her lips gradually grew wider.

However, after the emcee finished speaking, Shen Fengni did not respond.

She stood there in silence, her thin back straight. Her eyes were still clear and bright, but there was a hint of something incomprehensible in them.

The emcee was a little puzzled, but his good professionalism allowed him to maintain a smile.

He spoke again, urging, "Miss Shen Fengni, are you willing?"

Shen Fengni still didn't say anything, with her eyes lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.

Yu Qian waited for two seconds and soon lost her patience.

Whether Shen Fengni was excited or angry for some reason she didn't know, it was really annoying.

But she couldn't get angry in the current situation, so she just smiled and reached out to take Shen Fengni's hand, and said in a more serious tone, "Fengni, will you marry me?"

This time Shen Fengni finally spoke: "I don't want to."

Her tone was firm, and a playful smile played on her lips, as if she had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

It was like a sudden thunderclap that caught everyone off guard.

Low exclamations came one after another, and for a moment all eyes in the room were focused on Shen Fengni, some were curious, some were watching the show, some were blaming... they wished they could see through her flesh and blood and peek into Shen Fengni's heart.

Yu Qian stood there in a daze. After realizing what had happened, she immediately became furious.

"Chen Fengni, what's wrong with you all of a sudden? Everyone knows that you and I have been engaged since childhood. Who would want you after this incident?"

The pleasure of revenge swept through his brain like a hurricane. Looking at Yu Qian's frustrated look, Chen Fengni suddenly felt very happy and even wanted to laugh out loud without any image.

After living two lives, this was the happiest and most satisfying moment for her.

As for Yu Qian's questioning, she was too lazy to answer.

Chen Fengni laughed and was about to say something to add fuel to the fire when she suddenly heard a cold voice coming from the audience.

"I want."

...Who is it?

What is she talking about?

Shen Fengni's smile froze instantly, and she looked towards the source of the sound in disbelief.

In the corner, an icy beauty with a charming face was looking up at her.

She opened her thin lips slightly and repeated, "I want her."
