Wen Li didn't grasp the deeper meaning of the words, but he knew that no one could stop Yang Jinchu from doing what she wanted to do. He didn't know the specifics of what had happened between the two of them.
He vividly remembered that in the early hours of the morning before their engagement, Yang Jinchu called him to tell him that she had successfully proposed. He could feel her joy even through the phone.
Yang Jinchu said, "Ali, today is the happiest day of my life. I have my sun, I have the whole world."
Yang Jinchu had gone to Myanmar to collect raw stones a long time ago, and personally polished them for his marriage proposal. He even flew to Italy to customize a wedding dress the day after the successful proposal, even though he hadn't chosen a date yet, showing how impatient he was.
And he was genuinely happy for him; how wonderful it was that childhood sweethearts had finally become a couple, and he sincerely wished them well.
Even the wedding venue was all prepared, but then something went wrong. Just when the two were about to get married, Jingmin suddenly appeared in the middle.
Judging from this guy's expression, the problem between the two of them is definitely Chu Wuyang.
This has led him to develop some resentment towards Chu Wuyang.
Regardless of any conflicts between the two, such a rapid and seamless change of heart is unbearable for anyone.
This plunged the gentle and refined Yang Jinchu into despair in an instant. He watched as Yang Jinchu's spirits plummeted, and he began smoking and drinking heavily day and night. Only after hearing the news of their long-term separation did his condition begin to improve.
During that time, he was even afraid that Yang Jinchu would challenge Jing Min to a duel. Fortunately, their identities absolutely forbade them to do such reckless things. He began to work and live seriously, as if he had regained his motivation and returned to his former spirit.
Wen Li even felt that he should move on; everything was getting better.
However, this time he asked for help to gather information, because he felt he had never truly moved on.
To be honest, as a brother, he had indeed resented Chu Wuyang, which was why his conversation with Jing Min was so sharp—it wasn't like him at all. But rationally speaking, outsiders really didn't understand the ins and outs of this situation, and he felt he needed to find out exactly what had happened.
Thinking of the past,
Wen Li's feelings were truly complicated. He suggested, "I've heard the hot springs at this resort are nice. Let's relax and stay here tonight!"
Yang Jinchu said calmly, "Hmm."

In the banquet hall,
Jing Min, holding Chu Wuyang's hand, spoke to a spirited old man. Amidst the group of elites, the old man, dressed in a simple maroon Tang suit, appeared exceptionally kind and gentle.
"So this is Ah Min's wife. She's so beautiful. They're truly a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman."
Chu Wuyang greeted him politely and generously.
Happy birthday, Uncle Zhou!
"Okay, okay... thank you," Zhou's father said repeatedly, then laughed heartily. He turned to his two sons beside him and said in a disgraceful tone:
"You two need to hurry up too. You're the same age as Ah Min, but he's already married and established in his career."
"None of you have ever brought a girlfriend home, especially you, Zhou Chen, who spends all your time with A-Min and hasn't learned a single skill in your career; all you do is mess around."
Zhou Chen, who was called out, surprisingly didn't refute, and lowered his head to touch his nose, looking slightly embarrassed.
Mrs. Zhou, seeing her husband berate their son in such a setting, nudged her husband with some displeasure. He quickly recovered and resumed his friendly, cheerful smile.
"The hot springs here are beautiful at night. Let's stay here tonight and have dim sum together tomorrow morning, okay?"
Jingmin nodded, "I'll listen to Uncle Zhou."
Mr. Zhou genuinely admired Jingmin, and his face was full of satisfaction.
"It's still early, take your wife for a walk. My body is getting worse and worse; my back and waist ache after standing for a while, so I'm going to rest first."
Jingmin smiled and said, "I will, Uncle Zhou, take care."
Standing next to Zhou's father, Zhou Heng initially smiled and nodded in greeting, but remained silent afterwards. He only glanced back seemingly casually as they left together.
After everyone had left, Chu Wuyang silently released her hand from Jing Min's arm.
Jingmin immediately reached out and pulled her back, tucking her around his waist. "Are you still angry?"
Chu Wuyang had already tried her best to suppress her anger, and spoke in a calm, low voice, "I need to go find Ahe, let me go first."
She tried desperately to break free from Jing Min's grasp, but there were too many people around, and she dared not make any sudden movements. However, Jing Min's hand was clenched tightly, as if he were wrestling with her. The more she struggled, the tighter he gripped, until her bones ached from his grip. Helpless, she could only give up the struggle.
Jingmin only spoke after she stopped what she was doing.
"Stay by my side, and I'll take you to a hot spring later, and we'll also watch fireworks."
Chu Wuyang hated his self-righteousness the most, and she was annoyed.
"I didn't agree to stay here. I want to go home. You agreed without even asking me. So you can stay here by yourself. I'm going to find my friends. Let me go."
Jingmin looked at her intently for a few seconds.
"Friend? Are you sure the friend you're looking for is Ye Yuhe and not some other friend?"
Chu Wuyang really found him inexplicable, and rolled her beautiful eyes at him.
Jing Min pulled her towards a side corridor. Just as Chu Wuyang was about to speak, a loud "boom" made them both stop in their tracks.
Then came a series of explosions as everyone gathered in the open space to watch the fireworks. The dazzling fireworks burst in the sky, brilliant and beautiful, illuminating the entire night. A series of booming sounds instantly drew the attention of the two people.
Chu Wuyang looked up at the fireworks bursting in the sky, completely forgetting her earlier anger. Beautiful things always lift one's spirits, and her pupils reflected the brilliant light and shadow of the fireworks. So beautiful.
