Early the next morning.
Su Yaoyao got up early and spent more than an hour getting ready. When she saw that it was time to meet Yu Chiyan, she went downstairs.
The weather has been getting cooler lately, and she wore a white trench coat over a black velvet dress. Her long black hair was styled in a bun, making her look innocent and cute yet sophisticated and elegant.
Su Yaoyao took out her phone and glanced at the time. Her brows furrowed slightly. It was already past the agreed time, and Yu Chiyan still hadn't appeared. Just as Su Yaoyao was about to call him, a familiar luxury car suddenly appeared in front of her. It was a car from the Yu family, and Su Yaoyao inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
The car stopped beside her feet, and Su Yaoyao, thinking it was Yu Chiyan, asked him a question.
"What's wrong with you? You're not on time for the first time."
"Um, Madam..."
The car window was slowly rolled down, and Su Yaoyao was slightly taken aback when she saw who it was.
"Uncle Li, it's you?"
Uncle Li smiled faintly; "Young Master asked me to pick you up and take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Su Yaoyao got into the car and casually asked, "Where's Yu Chiyan?"
"Young Master left early this morning. I don't know what he's busy with, but he did tell me that no matter what happens, we'll definitely get our marriage certificate on time."
Su Yaoyao nodded upon hearing this, without saying anything, but still sent a text message to Yu Chiyan.
"We're getting our marriage certificate at 11:00 AM, so don't be late, or I'll be angry with you."
After sending the message, Su Yaoyao waited for a while, but the message seemed to sink without a trace.
Su Yaoyao unconsciously covered her chest. For some reason, she felt a heavy weight in her chest, as if something was pressing down on her and making it hard for her to breathe.
Looking out the window, a magnificent view flashes by.
I had been looking forward to this day all night, but now I feel inexplicably disappointed.
...
When Su Yaoyao arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was already past 10:40.
Yu Chiyan hadn't arrived yet, nor had he replied to her messages, so she couldn't help but call him, but his phone was switched off.
Su Yaoyao felt her heart beating faster and faster, in a chaotic manner.
For some reason, she had never felt so panicked as she did today.
"Madam, why don't you wait in line first? When the young master arrives, you can proceed directly with the process."
Su Yaoyao thought it made sense, so she went to queue up by herself.
There were about four or five couples ahead of her, and it looked like it would be her turn soon, but Yu Chiyan still hadn't arrived.
By this time, it was already 11:30, and the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau were about to leave work.
"Hey girl, what are you standing there for? Come here!"
Su Yaoyao was sending a message to Yu Chiyan when the couple in front of her finished their business. Seeing that Su Yaoyao wasn't moving, the staff urged her to hurry up.
All eyes turned to Su Yaoyao.
All the couples who came to get their marriage certificates were couples, but Su Yaoyao was the only one standing there all alone with her phone in hand, which made the people around her start to gossip.
"What's going on? Can you get married by yourself now?"
"This is the first time I've encountered something like this."
"Could it be that she got stood up by that man?"
Amidst the whispers and the strange looks from others, Su Yaoyao finally couldn't stand it any longer.
"Excuse me, I'll wait a bit."
After saying this, she left the group and let the people behind her go first.
After leaving the hall, Su Yaoyao returned to the car and asked Uncle Li.
"Uncle Li, do you know where Yu Chiyan went?"
Uncle Li was also surprised that Yu Chiyan hadn't shown up by this time.
"Well, the young master didn't say that!"
Uncle Li's words made Su Yaoyao's heart sink, but she still spoke.
"It's alright, let's wait a bit longer, Yu Chiyan will come."
Yao Yao looked down at the tips of her shoes. Yu Chiyan must have been preoccupied with something, otherwise he would never have been late.
...
Meanwhile, Yu Chiyan had already arrived at the airport.
Because of his impatience, Yu Chiyan had already broken out in a cold sweat.
As soon as news of his relationship with Su Yaoyao spread online, Jiang Chen found out where Sese was. Just as he had guessed, the first thing Sese did after learning that he was getting married was to leave Nancheng.
From the moment he found out about Cerse, he had been following her trail, but even so, he was too late. He couldn't find her at the airport, and Cerse had most likely already boarded a plane to Paris.
"Jiang Chen, go book the tickets. I want to go to Paris."
Jiang Chen's expression changed slightly, and he immediately advised, "Master, this won't do. You still need to register your marriage with Miss Su, and tomorrow is your wedding!"
At this moment, Yu Chiyan was preoccupied with finding Sese. He agreed to the old lady's suggestion in order to force Sese out. He never intended to hold a wedding with Su Yaoyao so hastily.
"Go quickly. I'll talk to Grandma and Yaoyao myself later. Right now, the most important thing is to find Sese."
If he lets her get away this time, he might never see her again in his life.
Seeing that Yu Chiyan was determined to do so, Jiang Chen didn't say anything more and quickly bought Yu Chiyan the next available flight ticket.
After all the formalities were completed, the plane took off within an hour.
...
Meanwhile, Su Yaoyao was unaware that the person she was waiting for was no longer in Nancheng.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, there was still no news from Yu Chiyan.
Su Yaoyao called Jun Xian and Gu Tingmo, but neither of them could explain it clearly.
