Duan Muqing paused for a moment before saying, "Nothing's wrong."
After a moment of silence, Jiang Tian slowly spoke: "Duan Muqing, many people think we're not a good match and don't support us being together. I've decided to marry you because I'm sure of who you are. Don't hide anything from me."
Duan Muqing was injured; how could I possibly let her know?
Moreover, he came here for Shen Qingshu.
Although Jiang Tian didn't ask about his past, the social circle was only so big, and she was sure she knew about the entanglements between those people and Shen Qingshu.
Duan Muqing didn't want too many people to get involved in their relationship. He had only helped Shen Qingshu by chance, and he didn't tell Jiang Tian so that their relationship would be more stable.
"It's really nothing, I've just been too busy here. I'll explain everything to you when I get back tomorrow. You've been calling me so many times, you must miss me, right?"
Duan Muqing deliberately made a joke, trying to lighten the conversation between the two.
It took a long time for Jiang Tian to reply: "You forgot, we were supposed to try on our wedding dresses today and make final alterations. Since you weren't here and I couldn't find anyone, I had to send the dresses to your house first."
Duan Muqing couldn't laugh this time; he had indeed forgotten.
They chose their engagement dresses together and had them made by a famous designer.
Duan Muqing wanted their engagement ceremony to be perfect, so she made an agreement with the maker to refine the details again the day before the engagement.
"...I'm sorry." Duan Muqing couldn't say anything else for a moment.
"It's alright, just don't be late for tomorrow's engagement ceremony. If you even miss something like this, I can't continue seeing you. There are so many people there, I don't want to go through what happened with the Zhou family again."
Jiang Tian's tone was too calm, but the content hidden in her calm tone made Duan Muqing's heart pound.
He quickly assured him, "Don't worry, I definitely won't be late. I'll arrive on time even if it means going through fire and water."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Duan Muqing hurriedly tried to remove the needle from her hand.
But before his concussion had healed and before the needles were removed, he felt a sudden dizziness.
Cheng Xiuyuan was startled by his actions and quickly stopped him: "Cousin, what are you doing? The doctor said you need to rest."
Despite the dizziness she felt earlier, Duan Muqing forcefully pulled out the needle.
"Book me a plane ticket right now, I need to fly back immediately."
Cheng Xiuyuan was right next to him and naturally overheard some of the conversation.
The thought that Duan Muqing valued this engagement ceremony so much made Cheng Xiuyuan feel very uncomfortable.
Shen Qingshu had just lost her husband and was heartbroken, while Duan Muqing was about to get engaged to another woman.
Such a stark contrast made Cheng Xiuyuan feel even more sympathetic towards Shen Qingshu.
"Don't rush, isn't the engagement tomorrow?"
Duan Muqing was busy replying to inquiries from all directions when he heard Cheng Xiuyuan's words. He suddenly looked up and said, "What do you mean? This is a major event in my life. In your eyes, is my happiness really that unimportant?"
Duan Muqing had long since lost all patience with this cousin.
He was well aware that the other party was still deeply in love with Shen Qingshu.
But so what? What does it have to do with him? He's already moving on to a new life.
Cheng Xiuyuan was startled by his gaze and couldn't say a word.
Duan Muqing didn't want to pay attention to him. He first called his secretary and asked him to come over. Then he contacted his doctor friend there and asked him to prescribe medicine for him.
In any case, the engagement ceremony tomorrow cannot go wrong.
Duan Muqing arranged things one by one, even though his face was terribly pale. Cheng Xiuyuan could see his decisiveness and urgency.
He could tell that his cousin seemed to have put some effort into Jiang Tian.
Duan Muqing completely ignored what Cheng Xiuyuan was thinking. He found out that the earliest flight was in the evening, so he bought the ticket without hesitation.
After he finished packing and was about to leave the hospital, he unexpectedly saw Shen Qingshu as he walked out of the hospital.
Shen Qingshu was sitting on the windowsill.
She looked distraught, her feet dangling in the air.
Many doctors and nurses were gathered around, offering advice at once, but Shen Qingshu was in a daze and couldn't hear a word they were saying, so they didn't listen at all.
When Duan Muqing reached that spot, he paused for a moment, just as Shen Qingshu turned around.
The two looked at each other.
Shen Qingshu smiled at him and called his name: "Duan Muqing".
