Ye Lang was confused by some fantasies today.
Maybe when you are walking along the road, the real scene in front of you will be replaced by an illusory fantasy.
For example, at this moment, standing in front of the lounge door, a nagging girl was talking to him. He couldn't remember her name, but he only remembered that her surname was probably Zhou, and she was Gou An's friend. She always behaved like an agitated groundhog.
He was clearly listening to her, and when he heard something like "How can you go in? The bride's first look should of course be reserved for the groom," he even remembered snorting to express his disdain for this custom.
But in just a moment, everything in front of him seemed to be fading away, and the person who was pulling him changed from a groundhog whose mouth opened and closed non-stop to another familiar face.
【“Hehe, Ye Lang, let me tell you something outrageous. I heard from them that He Ran is missing. The engagement party was about to start in half an hour, and his phone was turned off. He disappeared without a trace. Ahahahahahahahahahaha, what a loser.”
The person standing in front of Ye Lang, there was no barrier between them that he couldn't overcome.
She was not wearing a wedding dress, but an ordinary gray sweatshirt, a smoky gray skirt, long boots, and a furry white scarf around her neck. She was smiling so hard that her eyes disappeared.
He pointed his thumb back to the tightly closed lounge behind him, "There's a lot of chaos going on in there right now."
Miss Gou did not hide her gloating at all. She hated Lu Wan, and He Ran had been a thorn in her side ever since the cancellation of the engagement. Now that the two of them had gotten into such a big mess, she was the first one to step forward and set off firecrackers.
After listening to her long speech, the bodyguard remained silent. He only heard her say that there was a commotion in the lounge. He thought that the girl in the lounge was his childhood sweetheart and neighbor, so he turned around and glanced at her, frowning slightly, as if he was a little worried.
"Look?"
His cheek was held by cold fingertips, and he was forced to turn his face back.
"Look at me."
He lowered his head along the soft but cold fingertips holding his face, and looked into the almond-shaped eyes that were frowned in displeasure. Their eyes met for a moment, and Ye Lang spoke: "Are you cold?"
Gou An was stunned: "What?"
Ye Lang looked down again, sweeping across her legs between her skirt and over-the-knee boots. Her white flesh was exposed, and the temperature outside was almost below zero.
"It's not cold...wait!" The fireworks of surprise in Gou An's eyes exploded, "You care about me?"
Ye Lang was speechless for a moment, expressionless, and while Miss Gou was complaining, he grabbed her wrist and coldly pulled off her claws that were holding his face.
It was just that the place where my cheek was touched, it seemed as if the cool and soft touch from the last second was still there. 】
Everything in front of me suddenly disappeared.
The voices of various people talking around her reached her ears. Zhou Yutong turned around and shouted, "Time is almost up, clear the place!"
The door of the lounge was opened. There was no so-called chaos, nor was Lu Wan crying secretly. Instead, Gou An walked out.
Instead of wearing a sweatshirt and a short skirt, the same person was dressed up like this. The white wedding dress, which symbolized innocence and all the good wishes in the world, sparkled under the lights in the corridor in front of the hotel banquet hall.
The veil has been put down, and she is holding a pink hydrangea bouquet. Today, she is not the one watching the show, she is the protagonist.
When they passed by the bodyguard, he somehow reached out and grabbed her wrist.
She wore the same lace decoration on her wrist as the dress, and the bodyguard grabbed her wrist unexpectedly, causing a slight wrinkle to appear on the fragile lace.
Through the lowered veil, Gou An looked expressionlessly at the man who was holding her tightly. After a while, she said calmly, "Ye Lang, let go."
In that flat tone, she didn't even ask: Why did you catch me?
Ye Lang subconsciously loosened the grip on his hands.
That feeling of stepping on empty air when going up the stairs came back again.
The red carpet stretched out under my feet, and the door of the banquet hall in front of me was exactly the same as described in the original book.
The gilded totem spreads downward from the top of the door. It is not an ordinary gilded design. Gou Yu rejected seven plans in a row before a minority designer finally decided on the draft that combined minority totems with modern art.
I heard that it incorporates very ancient texts, wishing everyone who passes through this door peace and happiness in their life, and a good ending.
Under the veil, Gou An curled the corners of his lips and tightened his hand holding the bouquet silently.
Just now she received a prompt from the system in the lounge. With a [ding] sound, the plot reached the [Engagement Banquet] plot. It was like a map in her mind where the fog that had been covering it was dispelled and she could read it immediately.
In the past, she might have simply ignored the system prompts. After all, she was not interested in things that had nothing to do with her in the original work.
But now it has.
She wanted to see what happened on the day He Ran ran away and He Jinxing and Lu Wan got engaged.
【蕉蕉: This is what the original text says. 】
"Lu Wan hid in the lounge. People were coming and going in the lounge, but there was no one she knew or was a friend. The only person she knew was Ye Lang, but in this situation, he was watched very closely by Gou An, and the two of them had no chance to talk.
What was reflected in the mirror was her figure, in a pure white wedding dress with a wide skirt. She had imagined countless times what she would look like in the wedding dress, thinking that she must be filled with happiness and anticipation. However, she only saw hesitation and confusion on her own face.
"Where's He Ran?"
"The phone rang, but it's turned off."
"This guy is so outrageous! Let Zhou Yanji and the others tell us where they usually go, and then go find them! There are so many people outside, it's so embarrassing!"
"He's been spoiled, all because of you guys. He's so irresponsible!"
The people around her kept scolding her, most of them were the elders of the He family. They were anxiously discussing He Ran's disappearance at the engagement party in front of Lu Wan, unscrupulously, but from beginning to end no one thought of comforting her even a word...
All they cared about was that with all the friends and relatives outside, the reputation of their He family would be ruined.
The door of the lounge opened and closed. Through the gap, Lu Wan saw Gou An standing at the door. He was smiling brightly and talking to Ye Lang. He seemed to be in a good mood.
Lu Wan smiled bitterly. How could she be in a bad mood?
It was so embarrassing to break off the engagement with He Ran. Now, looking at herself in the same embarrassing state, she probably felt that she had taken revenge.
Lu Wan didn't know whether she should cry for the occasion, but before shedding tears, she kept thinking of the day when He Ran ruthlessly pushed her away and loudly questioned her: "What on earth happened between you and my uncle in the lounge that night? You still asked me to marry you even after this? Are you planning to make me a laughing stock in the whole Jiangcheng?"
Her tears had dried up that day, and she could only shake her head and say "really not". Apart from that, her dignity prevented her from saying a single word of explanation...
Should she tell him the details? Should she tell him about the deal He Jin had made with Miss Gou so that she would not be punished? Should she tell him that she was an ordinary person who would waver in the face of money and power and finally give in? That would only make her a laughing stock again, just like everything she believed in, was sure of, and insisted on before, all collapsed in an instant.
Amidst the chaos, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and a young and handsome man in a casual suit overwhelmed He Ran's father who had dressed up specially.
The rare smile disappeared from his face, and his cold eyes swept across the suddenly quiet lounge. He Ran's father, He Jinxing's brother, had an unconcealable anxiety on his face: "Ajin, have you found He Ran? That kid usually listens to you the most-"
"Even if you listen to me, you won't let me call you alone with your phone turned off." He Jinxing curled his lips and said sarcastically, "Since he has decided to disappear, he is doomed to never change his mind and show up again. Instead of looking for him everywhere now, you should think about how to deal with the guests outside."
He's is in an upward stage, full of vigor and vitality. Their good corporate image makes them invincible in the development of their business in all walks of life. It is time for everything to get on the right track.
At this critical juncture, the news that the eldest grandson of the He family was "marrying a girl from Zhaipu District" was already earth-shattering. In the end, under He Jinxing's manipulation, the image of "no threshold to a wealthy family" was spread, and countless people saw the story of "Cinderella and the Prince"...
In the end, the fairy-tale version of public opinion finally overshadowed the statements such as "no rules", "abandoning his original rich fiancée and having no sense of responsibility" and prevailed.
As a result, at the last minute, He Ran escaped from the marriage, which was like a slap in the face of the person in charge of the He family. He thought to himself that he was just a spoiled dandy and extremely willful.
In the end, it was He Jinxing who saved his reputation. With everyone's expectations on his shoulders, the man walked towards Lu Wan step by step, paused, and asked condescendingly: "Lu Wan, do you mind changing the groom?"
As he spoke, he casually took the gardenia originally prepared for He Ran and pinned it on his chest. The pure white gardenia echoed with the bouquet of gardenias that was in line with the bride's identity and image.
Under Lu Wan's dull gaze, everyone knew what He Jinxing was going to do in an instant. Old Man He slammed his cane hard on the ground: "No!"
Although He Ran watched his grandson grow up, they were still of different generations, so he loved him dearly. Although he thought it was ridiculous for him to marry a girl from an ordinary family, he finally let him go.
But He Jinxing is different.
He is his most outstanding youngest son, the one in charge of the He family, and the pillar of the He family!
How could it be possible for a yellow-haired girl of unknown origin to get so cheap!
Old Master He was both angry and anxious. He wanted to find He Ran and beat him up so that he could open his eyes and see what kind of disaster he had caused!
However, as the person involved, He Jinxing remained calm. The gardenia had already fallen on his chest. He looked back at Lu Wan who had remained silent. His eyes curved slightly and he said, "It's just a formality. Miss Lu, don't worry."
These words are more of a reminder than a comfort.
It's just an engagement. As long as the public opinion is controlled and allowed to ferment for a day or two before the press release is suppressed, according to modern people's habits, as long as no one mentions it, the final outcome will be nothing.
It was that day. In the ship's lounge, the same negotiating tone.
"
【Jiaojiao: Complete reading of the original text. 】
[Jiao Jiao: Ah, it seems like the hero here isn’t really planning on marrying the heroine, just agreeing on an engagement—]
[Jiao Jiao: That’s right, I almost forgot that the original novel is a sad novel. A sad novel should have a fixed routine, that is, the hero should make a cold agreement with the heroine at the beginning, and then he gets slapped in the face by the agreement he made himself in the end! ]
Gou An: “Tsk.”
Gou An: "I didn't mention a word of the agreement to him."
The only promise was that He Jinxing could exchange the invoice of butterfly cakes for cash for the dowry.
He looked quite happy.
[Jiao Jiao: It’s only at this moment that you seem a little like a vicious female supporting character who has awakened.]
Gou An: "What do you mean?"
【Jiao Jiao: A bit promising. 】
Gou An: “…”
There was no Lu Wan on this day.
Relatives and friends were all present, and everyone had relief and joy on their face. When they opened the door of the lounge, the expectant smiles of friends overlapped.
They held her hand and said not "work hard to be happy", but "Gou An, you are already a mature and promising child. From now on, you must sit firmly on the shoulders of giants and continue to exercise your power and domineering."
Push open the door in front of you, and the music starts playing at the right time——
"Ladies and gentlemen Will you please stand".
In the banquet hall, all the guests stood up in response, no one made a noise, no one laughed.
"With every guitar string scar on my hand."
Focused eyes and sincere blessings.
"I take this magnetic force of a man to be my——"
At the end of the red carpet, the man standing with his back to her was wearing a neatly tailored suit. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The well-tailored suit made him look extremely noble just from his back.
"lover."
——Gou An took his tenth and ninth steps to the last.
The person with his back to her turned around.
This was the first time he saw the dress he had chosen so many times actually worn by the person he chose. It suited her better than he had imagined.
The former clerk smiled and said, "Mr. He, when Miss Gou heard you ask for a new dress, she rolled her eyes." Just like that, she ended up wearing the dress anyway...
She really had good taste. Every guest present today, no matter how gorgeously they were dressed, became inconspicuous grains of sand in front of her who was slowly walking towards him in a veil.
——Gou An took his eighth and seventh steps from the bottom.
She saw a clear smile climbing up into his dark eyes under the light.
The arc of her lips was surprisingly natural. How many people today, thanks to her, saw the smile that truly belonged to He Jinxing? ——Gou An walked towards his sixth and fifth steps from the end.
The small hydrangea on his chest was the same one as the bouquet in her hand.
Why did Gou An know?
Originally, the MC prepared a gardenia for He Jinxing. How funny! The original author even wanted to disgust her at the last minute... But He Jinxing refused and threw the gardenia into the trash can. Facing everyone's astonishment, he just calmly asked, "What is the connection between gardenia and hydrangea?"
Of course there is no connection.
So in the end, Chen Jinli came to the lounge and took a small hydrangea from Gou An's bouquet.
The MC cursed and swore, but out of respect for his capricious employer, he had to find new ribbons to reinforce the bouquet that had inexplicably lost half of its center.
"Mr. He is so clingy."
She complained like this.
——Gou An took his fourth to third step.
The music was still playing when the whole audience suddenly burst into applause.
Originally, marriage and love are like paper and ink neatly placed on a table, as if they were meant to be a perfect match, but in fact, they are tacitly separated and have nothing to do with each other.
But the overwhelming applause and the man in front of me seemed to be embedded in the dark pupils of stars, and it was as if a drop of ink had suddenly dripped onto the paper in my heart, and the ink color spread...
Then my heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and I became more and more excited, and my leisurely steps became a little stumbling.
I don't know where the throbbing heart came from;
Suddenly she was truly grateful for the plan God had made for her;
It suddenly has nothing to do with "leaning under a big tree for shade". The result of weighing the pros and cons should not bring a heartbeat like a drum; everything goes smoothly;
It was unbelievable that good things would actually happen to me! Originally, I had agreed that marrying him was just a temporary solution.
Yeah?
——Gou An took his second to last step.
His smile became clearer than ever before, his thin lips curved into a beautiful arc, and in his eyes there was only the outline of her in white gauze.
The person in front of me openly and unscrupulously swore to every guest and every media present that she had sole ownership of the property.
This person has been sitting at the top of everyone's mind in Jiangcheng since the day he returned home, always looking down at everyone with a humble attitude...
He belonged to her from now on.
Eventually she sat on the shoulders of giants.
——Gou An finally came to He Jinxing.
Holding a hydrangea in her hand, the little girl stood in front of him and raised her head slightly.
Perhaps the arc of the chin raised was not reserved enough, and the tone was too indulgent and arrogant.
When he reached out and gently lifted her veil, he saw her long eyelashes trembling, and then she slowly looked towards him, as if confirming something.
But his tone was unusually firm: "He Jinxing, do you see clearly? The person you want to marry is me."
Calling him by his full name without any reason was like waving the ink-stained pen in his hand, and at the same time staining the white paper in his heart with the same ink.
"Well, I'm not blind."
He teased with a smile in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"who I am?"
How persistent.
Even the voice seemed to be trembling due to nervousness.
The smile on the man's lips deepened, and as he pinched a corner of the soft veil with one hand, he gave a response without hesitation or wavering.
"Gou An."
