"So, what did we do last night?"
Li Xintong didn't answer, she just cried as she got dressed, and then ran away.
Judging from its smooth appearance, everything is self-evident.
But why does Yan Bai feel like he didn't do anything last night?
He drank too much last night and felt terrible. Later, he vaguely saw someone walk in and hug him. He thought it was Shen Ye returning, so he reached out and hugged the person back.
The strong scent of perfume, though it cleared his head somewhat, still left him in a daze, so...
Even if he's drunk, he can't possibly not tell if the person in his arms is Shen Ye.
He remembered clearly pushing her away, then being helped to bed, and then falling into a deep sleep...
That same day, Yan Bai received a call from his mother, Yang Liling, asking him what had happened to Li Xintong.
How could Yan Bai know what was going on? Frustrated, he replied that he didn't know and hung up the phone.
After that, Yang Liling kept calling, and Yan Bai, annoyed, decisively turned off his phone.
That night, Yang Liling brought Li Xintong into Yan Bai and Shen Ye's house and threatened Yan Bai to marry Li Xintong because he had slept with her!
Yan Bai was really in a bind. He clearly remembered that he seemed to have fallen asleep and hadn't done anything like that.
Just as she was about to retort, she noticed the hickeys all over Li Xintong's neck...
Yan Bai was instantly dumbfounded!
Could it be that he was sleepwalking and had sex with someone? Is that why he doesn't remember?
Very likely!
Nevertheless, he did not want to marry Li Xintong. His feelings for her had long since faded, leaving only guilt.
He wasn't remorseful for Li Xintong's claim of being forced to have an abortion by Yang Liling, but rather for Li Xintong being sent abroad by Yang Liling to be raped.
As for the abortion, Yan Bai was certain that he hadn't touched Li Xintong when they were dating, so he had no idea how the child came about. If holding hands would result in pregnancy, then he would accept it.
Yan Bai, who had strongly disagreed with the matter, took the initiative to call Yang Liling three days later and agreed.
It wasn't that he wanted to take responsibility, but rather that he wanted to use this method to force Shen Ye out.
He thought, since he's going to hide, he'll let the news of his marriage spread to every corner of the world. Once he finds out, he'll definitely come out, right?
Twenty-eight days after Shen Ye's disappearance, Yan Bai and Li Xintong will get married.
Because it was all done in such a rush, things weren't going so well, but Li Xintong was content. As long as she could marry Yan Bai, she was willing to get the marriage certificate directly without a ceremony.
Many people came to the wedding, and the scene was very lively. Everyone had a smile on their face, but afterwards, Yan Bai and Xu Yu's faces were expressionless.
Yan Bai and Li Xintong stood in front of the pastor, listening to him take the oath.
"Miss Li Xintong, do you take Mr. Yan Bai to be your wife? Do you promise that, in good times and bad, in wealth and poverty, in health and sickness, in joy and sorrow, you will always love and cherish him, stay with him for life, and never leave him?"
"I do." The words just came out.
"Mr. Yan Bai, do you take Ms. Li Xintong, who stands before you, to be your lawfully wedded wife, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, for younger or for old age, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?"
Everyone was waiting for Yan Bai to say "I do," but almost a minute had passed and Yan Bai still hadn't uttered those three words. His gaze wasn't on the bride; instead, it was fixed on the tightly closed church doors.
