Finally, Madam Lu grew impatient and her expression turned cold.
"Pingping, if you asked me out today just to talk about this, then I don't think there's anything else to say."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Zhiyan, who was standing quietly to the side, and became even angrier.
"Besides, you were the one who said you wanted to marry Yan'er. Yan'er loves you with all her heart. Now you can't just call off the engagement whenever you want."
Su Ping suddenly felt fortunate that it wasn't Lu Zhiyan who came tonight; otherwise, seeing Madam Lu's side and his own betrayal would probably have been unbearable for him.
“Madam Lu, I only wanted to rescue Lu Zhiyan, not because I liked him that I said I wanted to marry him.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ping heard the Calabash Brothers' hesitant voice.
[Host, stop talking.]
What's wrong?
Su Ping suddenly had a bad feeling. As if sensing something, she turned her head to look behind her and saw the man standing at the door, swaying precariously.
Lu Zhiyan?
What's he doing here? Wait, when did he get here?
Did he hear what she just said?
Su Ping's mind suddenly went blank, and she subconsciously stood up and moved closer to that side.
Seeing her actions, Lu Zhiyan clenched his fists, looking somewhat hurt, and turned away in a flustered manner.
Madam Lu looked at the figure at the door and Su Ping chasing after him, then looked at "Lu Zhiyan" who seemed off no matter how she looked at him, and suddenly realized what was going on.
Su Ping caught up with Lu Zhiyan at the elevator, who was looking down and pressing buttons.
"Zhiyan."
Su Ping called out and saw Lu Zhiyan's back sway slightly before he turned around and looked over.
His face looked terrible, tears streamed down his face, and his eyes were red.
Su Ping suddenly felt a pang of sadness. She had expected Lu Zhiyan to find out about this, but she never imagined it would be in this way.
Lu Zhiyan wiped away his tears, looking at the face that occupied his entire mind not far away, wanting only an answer.
"You don't want to marry me, so you've been busy with this all these days?"
Su Ping opened her mouth, as if she was about to say something, but in the end she said nothing and just looked at him quietly.
Has she stopped even from deceiving herself?
Lu Zhiyan suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, and continued to ask, unwilling to give up.
"So all those times you said you liked me and wanted to marry me were lies?"
A sliver of hope still burned in his eyes, wanting to hear Su Ping deny it.
But Su Ping's words completely dissuaded him.
"Yes, I only said that because I felt sorry for you and wanted to get you out."
alright.
Lu Zhiyan withdrew his gaze and suddenly felt that half of his body was numb.
He pressed down on his other hand with one hand and finally managed to press the elevator button.
After doing all this, he leaned against the wall, panting heavily.
He realized how painful heartbreak felt; he felt like he couldn't breathe.
There was silence behind him; he knew Su Ping hadn't left.
He desperately wanted to turn around, to hug her and demand an explanation, to ask her why she had suddenly become like this, so unfamiliar that he almost didn't recognize her.
But he knew he couldn't.
Pingping is a very good person, and she must have her own reasons for doing this. He can't let his own selfish thoughts cause her to get caught up in this dilemma.
The elevator doors opened in front of him, and Lu Zhiyan smiled, using the last of his strength to step into the elevator.
He kept his back to Su Ping the whole time, not daring to turn around.
As the elevator slowly descended, he closed his eyes in dejection.
Anyway, he had been in that gloomy place for more than 20 years, and now he was just going back.
Even though he wasn't her final choice, she had pulled herself out of the abyss.
Although brief, it was one of the few happy times he had.
Su Ping watched the elevator doors slowly close, suppressing the urge to chase after them.
She closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and reminded herself that this was just a fictional world, and she had to leave; she couldn't let her heart be moved.
After the initial surge of emotion subsided, Su Ping loosened her tightly clenched fist and felt a sharp pain.
It turned out that she had used too much force, and her nails had dug into her palm.
Thinking of the look Lu Zhiyan gave her at the last moment, Su Ping shook her head, trying to shake it off.
But the image became clearer and clearer, as if it had been etched into her mind.
She didn't know if she was shaken too hard, but suddenly everything went black before her eyes, and she slowly lost consciousness.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in another place.
"Pingping, what are you daydreaming about? Today is your wedding day."
Li Moyu's voice rang in her ears, and Su Ping quickly looked around and saw her wedding photo with Lu Zhiyan.
She looked down at herself again and realized that she was wearing a wedding dress.
What's going on?
Didn't she already reject Madam Lu?
and……
Su Ping suddenly had a headache, wondering why she had found herself here the moment she opened her eyes. She should still be in the elevator...
[Huluwa, what's going on now?]
This feeling of being out of control made her panic, and she quickly called for the Calabash Brothers.
A few seconds later, the Calabash Brothers' voice rang out.
[Host, there's been a problem; things are malfunctioning. We're currently working on it...]
What does it mean when time is out of order?
Seeing Su Ping standing there motionless, Li Moyu assumed she was too excited and nervous. Since it was almost time, she went up, took her hand, and helped her walk over.
A woman holding a glass of red wine walked towards them. As they brushed past each other, their shoulders accidentally bumped, and the red wine in the glass spilled all over Su Ping's chest.
The sudden chill made Su Ping gasp in surprise.
Li Moyu frowned as she looked at the woman who kept apologizing with her head down, and she was furious.
With such a wide road, why would this person deliberately bump into the bride?
Su Ping, who was just wondering how to avoid attending the wedding, snapped out of her daze upon seeing this and quickly pulled Li Moyu back from her outburst, saying something.
"Don't be angry, she didn't do it on purpose."
"How could she not do it on purpose? I think she did it..."
Li Moyu looked at the somewhat disheveled Su Ping with a pained expression: "Today is your big day, how could you run into such a terrible thing?"
At this moment, the host, who was not far away, called out Li Moyu's name and asked her to come over and check the process.
Su Ping patted her shoulder and was about to speak when a somewhat unfamiliar woman walked over from the side.
"Leave this to us. Luckily, we prepared a spare wedding dress just in case something like this happens."
Seeing this, Li Moyu had no choice but to give up, patted Su Ping's hand, and left.
