Chapter 28 Will I have to watch my beloved man marry another woman tomorrow?
Since that night, all items in the villa that could cause harm have been quietly removed.
Metal cutlery became wood or plastic.
Replace the glass cup with a thick silicone cup.
Sharp knives, scissors, and even nail clippers were nowhere to be found.
Most of the time, Gu Manman just sat in front of the window, looking blankly at the neatly trimmed garden in the distance.
The white cat would occasionally jump onto her lap, rub its head against her hand, and purr softly.
Sometimes, she would unconsciously stroke its soft fur.
But more often than not, she just sat there quietly, letting the cat snuggle with her.
The only thing left in her world was this luxurious bedroom and the false freedom outside the window surrounded by high walls.
Feng Mingzhou will still come back, bringing with him a fresh scent that belongs to the outside world.
He no longer tried to force her to eat, but simply had the servant place the plate in front of her and sat by in silence.
The gauze on his wrist had been removed, leaving a light pink scar.
She didn't look at him or speak.
If he tried to get close, she would curl up like a frightened animal.
In the end, he could only keep his distance and stare at her with his bottomless eyes.
The cell phone is the only way she is allowed to communicate with the outside world, but she rarely touches it.
Until one day, the screen automatically lit up and a piece of entertainment news popped up:
[Wedding of the century! The marriage date between Feng Group and Lin Group is confirmed! ]
The report described in detail the preparations for the wedding, from the flowers airlifted from Europe, to the menu customized by the Michelin three-star chef, to the gold-stamped guest list on the invitation, all of which highlighted the luxury and attention this marriage would attract.
Gu swiped the screen slowly, and pictures flashed before her eyes.
The silhouette of Lin Jinyun trying on a wedding dress. She strokes her belly happily and smiles brightly at the camera.
There was a snapshot of Feng Mingzhou accompanying her to choose baby products. He looked down at those small clothes with a focused and gentle look.
Her hands began to tremble.
The familiar feeling of nausea came over her again. She put down her phone and opened the window.
A cool breeze mixed with the scent of grass blew towards me, but it couldn't dispel the stuffiness in my chest.
The bodyguard downstairs immediately raised his head vigilantly and cast sharp eyes towards the window on the second floor.
On social media, discussion about the wedding of the century continues to heat up.
Everywhere there are blessings, envy, and praises for the newlyweds' talent and beauty, and their match made in heaven.
Those words and pictures came like a tide, penetrating every pore.
Even if she didn't look at it, the information would penetrate into this isolated cage through various channels.
She is an old thing forgotten in the corner, covered with dust, dilapidated and no one cares about her.
And he is walking towards his bride, his future, and his new and bright life with great vigor and vitality.
The night was as dark as ink, so thick that it could not be dissolved, tightly wrapping the villa in the western suburbs.
Gu Manman sat in front of the dressing table, and a calm face was reflected in the mirror.
The footsteps came closer and stopped at the door.
Feng Mingzhou leaned against the door frame, looking at her back with complicated eyes.
She didn't look back, but just glanced at him in the mirror, her eyes empty and without any emotion.
She has been like this these days.
No more fierce resistance, no more silent confrontation, and no longer even showing obvious sadness or hatred.
"What are you thinking about?" Feng Mingzhou walked in, his voice deliberately gentle.
Gu Manman put down the comb, turned around, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Feng Mingzhou's heart suddenly shrank, and then he was filled with ecstasy.
She finally...finally smiled at him.
"Nothing, I just feel that my hair seems to have grown longer."
He came up behind her and ran his fingers through her silky hair.
"I like the way your hair looks with long hair," he whispered, nuzzling her hair with his nose, greedily taking in her light fragrance.
"You said that before."
Feng Mingzhou's heart skipped a beat.
He leaned over, gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind, and rested his chin on the crook of her neck.
"Manman," his voice trembled slightly, "Let's... be like before, okay?"
She was silent for a moment, then uttered a soft "hmm".
The voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but it swept away the gloom that Feng Mingzhou had been feeling for days.
He tightened his arms and held her whole body in his embrace, with such force that he almost crushed her.
She finally figured it out, finally accepted the reality, and finally was willing to go back to him.
During dinner, Gu Manman ate a few more bites, which was rare.
Feng Mingzhou served her the food himself, his eyes never leaving her face.
She ate quietly, occasionally looking up at him, her eyes gentle and even a little dependent.
That was the look he was most familiar with and the one he loved the most.
After dinner, financial news was playing on TV, but she watched it with extraordinary concentration.
Feng Mingzhou looked at her soft profile and felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction surge in his heart.
This gorgeous cage finally seems to have the warmth of home.
"Ming Zhou," she suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
he responded, taking her hand that was resting on the armrest of the sofa.
"Let's go out for a walk tomorrow, okay?"
She tilted her head and looked at him with a hint of cautious expectation in her eyes.
Feng Mingzhou's heart skipped a beat again.
In the past few days, she has never made any requests, let alone wanted to go out.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Anywhere is fine, as long as... I can be with you." She said softly, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone.
Feng Mingzhou's heart was instantly filled with happiness.
He almost agreed immediately, but reason kept him awake.
"Tomorrow... maybe not." He said with some embarrassment.
"Yeah?"
"Tomorrow... is the wedding of Lin Jinyun and you." She said that for him.
Feng Mingzhou's heart sank suddenly.
"So... am I going to watch my beloved man marry another woman tomorrow?"
He looked at her, seeing the disappointment and sadness in her eyes.
"I want to go to Paris tomorrow."
Her voice became sharp and tears began to well up in her eyes.
Feng Mingzhou was completely panicked.
He hated to see her cry, especially because of him.
"Okay...Okay, I'll arrange it." He compromised immediately, took out his cell phone and made a call.
After hanging up the phone, he turned around and looked at her with gentle and guilty eyes.
"Manman, I..."
But she suddenly threw herself into his arms, hugged him tightly, and buried her face in his chest.
"Thank you, Mingzhou."
Her voice was muffled, and Feng Mingzhou's heart softened instantly.
He tightened his arms and held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.
"Silly," he whispered, whispering softly in her ear.
