Gu Fanyan wandered around most of the city and felt tired, so she randomly found a coffee shop to sit and rest.
Several young women sat at the next table, excitedly chatting about their plans after graduating from university.
Several girls chose to study abroad.
Only one girl asked, "You just leave like that? I remember you all having boyfriends!"
"Tch," the girl scoffed. "Who says that dating him means you have to tie your whole life to him?"
"Exactly, are you worried about not being able to find a boyfriend?"
"Focus on yourself, sister."
Gu Fanyan glanced at them; they weren't much younger than her.
Although she hasn't had much time for actual dating in recent years, her relationship with Lin Zhibai has been troubling her for far too long.
She has understanding parents, a good education, and a good family background... By all accounts, she shouldn't be the one caught up in a relationship.
The girls at the next table left.
She ordered another coffee and enjoyed the quiet moment.
At this moment, a message popped up in the group chat, tagging her and Lin Zhibai, congratulating them on their marriage and asking them to send a red envelope (a monetary gift).
Lin Zhibai did not respond.
She thought about it for a moment, then pretended not to have seen the message.
People in the group kept making a fuss.
Who told you to ask for a red envelope now? Don't you know that a moment of bliss on the night of love is worth a thousand pieces of gold?
[The wedding night pranks started a bit late and from a bit far, hahaha]
[Please answer: What are the consequences of Lin Shao marrying Sister Fan Yan?]
The consequence is that another group of people in the city are suffering from insomnia tonight.
Young Master Lin now has a group of enemies who harbor resentment over having their wives stolen from them.
[Young Master Lin, can you fall asleep? Hurry up and send out red envelopes!]
After a while of commotion, someone suddenly posted a picture.
Lin Zhibai got drunk at the bar.
Moreover, this is a very familiar bar, located in this city.
What is Baekdu Mountain?
What wedding night?
None of them.
The once lively group chat fell silent instantly, and no one spoke a word for a long time.
But Gu Fanyan's phone rang.
It was Yun Suiwan who called.
"Sister Fanyan..." Yun Suiwan was very worried, but she didn't know where to start asking.
"Wanwan, my wedding with Lin Zhibai is canceled." She spoke first to break the awkward silence.
"Why?" Yun Suiwan asked anxiously, but after hearing Gu Fanyan's explanation, she gradually fell silent.
"I think... Lin Zhibai is just worried about Sheng Xin, and he probably doesn't have any other feelings for her." That was all she could say.
“But because of his eagerness, he delayed our journey to the wedding venue,” Gu Fanyan replied.
Yun Suiwan couldn't say anything more. She just felt regretful, "I really thought we would have our weddings on the same day."
Gu Fanyan asked with delight, "The wedding date for you and Lu Dongjue has finally been set?"
Yun Suiwan nodded, "One week later."
She had originally planned to call Gu Fanyan today and ask her to get married on the same day.
Their weddings are in different locations, so it should be possible.
“It’s great now, I can be your bridesmaid.” Gu Fanyan was genuinely happy. “It’s only been a week, is there enough time to prepare my bridesmaid dress?”
"Come to my house tomorrow, and I'll have a tailor take your measurements and then work overtime to make it."
"Okay, I'll come tomorrow."
After making the call, Gu Fanyan sat in the coffee shop for a while longer, deliberately waiting until her parents went to bed before returning home.
She took a jewelry box from the safe in the room, opened it, and the jewelry inside was gorgeous and exquisite, waiting for its owner to show its brilliance to everyone.
"Don't worry, your master is absolutely worthy of your beauty." She smiled slightly and carefully put the jewelry box back.
"Knock knock!" Suddenly, a knocking sound rang out.
She opened the door in confusion, "Dad, you're still awake..."
Mr. Gu grunted in agreement, walked into the room, and sat down on the sofa.
She couldn't help but lower her eyes, knowing that her father wanted to talk to her about Lin Zhibai.
“Fanyan, please sit down,” said Mr. Gu. “I want to talk to you about company matters.”
Um?
Gu Fanyan sat down next to her father and listened to him say, "The department store project you're in charge of is on track now. Leave the rest to the team."
"Our company is planning to jointly develop a modern apartment complex with Australia and needs someone to do the preliminary liaison and research. Are you interested in going?"
Gu Fanyan was taken aback. "Go to Australia... Dad, do you want me to go out and relax?"
Mr. Gu sighed gently, "It's good for you to go out and clear your head."
"Dad!" Gu Fanyan couldn't hold back her grievances and rushed into her father's arms, just like when she was a child and always needed her parents to hug her after she was wronged.
But now, besides feeling wronged, I also feel guilty and regretful.
Her parents let her choose according to her preferences, and even if they had opinions, they kept them to themselves. She thought she had chosen a treasure, but in the end, she still made her parents worry.
"Don't cry," Mr. Gu comforted gently. "I'm just making a suggestion. Whether you go or not is up to you."
"I'll go." Gu Fanyan nodded.
"You can reconsider..."
“No need to think about it anymore, Dad, I’ll go.” Gu Fanyan nodded firmly. “Wanwan and Lu Dongjue will have their wedding in a week, and I’ll be her bridesmaid. I’ll go after that.”
"Dad, I will learn more about the company's affairs in the future, so that I can reduce your burden."
This was an unexpected joy for Gu's father. "Fanyan, you've grown up. Dad is very happy."
Gu Fanyan suppressed the bitterness in her heart and smiled slightly.
The wedding of Lu Dongjue and Yun Suiwan finally began amidst the attention of countless people.
The wedding venue was set at a garden villa belonging to the Lu family, which covers an area of about 100 acres.
There was no other reason than that there were simply too many guests.
Just sending out invitations kept the housekeeper busy for two days.
The wedding was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m., but just after 8 a.m., the garden was already packed with guests.
Yun Suiwan sat in front of the makeup mirror, her makeup just finished by the makeup artist, waiting for the ceremony to begin and for her to walk the red carpet.
"Why hasn't the bride's father arrived yet?" a makeup assistant who was resting nearby muttered.
"Shut up!" the makeup artist immediately snapped, glancing quickly at Yun Suiwan.
Fortunately, Yun Suiwan's face remained expressionless, so she probably didn't hear it.
Yun Suiwan secretly clenched her fists.
She didn't even inform her so-called "parents" about this day.
She wanted to prove to herself that she could live a good life without her parents' blessings.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Gu Fanyan walked in carrying a delicate little leather suitcase, followed by her father and father, both dressed in formal attire.
Yun Suiwan immediately stood up: "Uncle Gu, Uncle Lin, Sister Fanyan."
Mr. Gu laughed and said, "Wanwan, Fanyan said that your Uncle Lin and I should escort you down the aisle, but I said you might not be willing."
Lin's father also smiled and said, "We've watched Wanwan and Dongjue grow up, so I think Wanwan will definitely agree."
“Uncle Gu, Uncle Lin…” Yun Suiwan’s nose tingled with emotion.
"Dad, Uncle Lin, why don't you go and rest in the next room? You'll have to do your best later," Gu Fanyan said.
“Yes, yes, neither of us has experience in marrying off our daughters.” The two men laughed and left.
The makeup artists also left temporarily.
"Sister Fanyan, thank you." Yun Suiwan thought she would walk down the red carpet alone.
"Sit down, I want to show you something." Gu Fanyan placed the small leather suitcase on the table.
