Chapter 354: On the eve of the wedding, Mr. Xiao said he was very nervous
The wedding photo issue has come to an end, and the wedding preparations have entered the final sprint stage.
Xiao Xue Zheng mobilized almost the entire public relations and planning team of Guangzheng Group, and personally took care of all matters, no matter how big or small.
From the paper material of an invitation to the flower arrangement of the entire wedding venue, he demands perfection.
His rigorous and picky attitude showed that he was more attentive than when he treated a merger and acquisition case worth tens of billions of dollars.
Shi Runrun, the nominal bride, became the person with the most free time.
Her daily task was to take good care of her pregnancy at home, and occasionally he would pull her to try on the size of her dress or taste the dishes at the wedding banquet.
As she watched him busying herself with preparations for their wedding, her heart felt as if it were filled with honey, so sweet that it was sickening.
She knew that he was using this method to make up for all the regrets between them and wanted to give her the most grand and perfect wedding in the world.
Finally, as everyone expected, the wedding day is approaching.
The night before the wedding, the entire Xiao family villa was brightly lit, with red ribbons and beautiful flowers symbolizing joy hung everywhere, and the air was filled with a sweet and happy scent.
Sister Li and the servants were still doing the final checks and arrangements, their faces filled with joyful smiles.
The children were so excited about being flower girls the next day that they couldn't sleep and were chasing and playing in the living room.
Shi Runrun played with them for a while, and only after coaxing them upstairs to sleep did she feel a little tired.
She returned to the master bedroom, wanting to look for Xiao Xue Zheng, but found the room empty.
It’s so late, where has he gone?
She searched around and finally found him in the study on the third floor.
There was only a dim floor lamp on in the study. The man was not sitting at his desk, but standing alone in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, with an unlit cigarette in his hand, and his back looked a little lonely.
He just looked quietly at the dazzling night view of Beijing outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Why are you here alone?"
Shi Runrun walked lightly behind him, gently put her arms around his strong waist from behind, and pressed her cheek against his broad and warm back.
The man's body stiffened slightly, then relaxed. He reached out his hand, covered her hand around his waist, and patted it gently.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?" His voice sounded a little low and hoarse in the quiet night.
"I can't sleep without you." Shi Runrun replied sullenly, tightening his arms even more. "What are you thinking about? The wedding is tomorrow, and you're not happy?"
The man was silent for a moment before he slowly turned around and held her in his arms.
He lowered his head and looked at her, his deep black eyes filled with complex emotions that she could not understand.
With the moonlight coming in from the window, Shi Runrun discovered that his face seemed a little pale, and there was a hint of fatigue and... uneasiness in his eyes?
disturbed?
How could this word appear in the name of Xiao Xuezheng, who is fearless?
"Xiao Xuezheng, what's wrong with you?" Shi Runrun's heart suddenly tightened. She reached out and touched his handsome face. "Did something happen at the company?"
"No." The man shook his head, took her hand in his palm, and kissed it on his lips.
"That's... wedding preparations. Any questions?"
"Everything went smoothly."
"Then why are you unhappy?" Shi Runrun looked at him, her eyes full of worry.
Xiao Xue Zheng looked at her worried look on his face, and the softest part of his heart seemed to be hit hard by something.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a helpless sigh.
He pulled her and sat down on the sofa by the window, holding her in his arms and resting his chin on the top of her head.
The two of them just hugged each other quietly, no one spoke.
After a very long time, so long that Shi Runrun thought he would not speak again, he heard him slowly speak in a voice that was almost a whisper, with a hint of fragility that he himself did not even notice.
"Runrun, I'm a little... nervous."
Shi Runrun's body suddenly stiffened.
She looked up and looked at him in disbelief.
Did she hear it right?
This man who is so decisive in business and remains calm in the face of billions of dollars in business, actually feels nervous about a wedding?
"What are you nervous about?" she asked in a low voice.
The man didn't look at her, but cast his gaze at the boundless night outside the window, and his dark eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist.
"I'm scared." He only said two words, but his voice was very hoarse.
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid... this is all too beautiful, as beautiful as a dream." He curled the corners of his lips in self-mockery, "I'm afraid that when I wake up, the dream will be shattered. You'll leave me and not want me anymore, just like before."
His voice was very soft, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting Shi Runrun's heart hard.
Only then did she understand that all his abnormal behavior, all his nervousness and anxiety in the past few days, were due to the huge insecurity in his heart, which was full of worries about gains and losses.
He was afraid of losing her.
Because I have lost before, I am more afraid.
He used those overbearing, strong and childish ways to treat her well, and wanted to bring the best things in the world to her, but he just wanted to tie her tightly to his side so that she could never leave.
Shi Runrun's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making her feel sore and painful.
Her eyes became hot and tears welled up instantly.
"Silly boy." She choked, stretched out her hands, and hugged him tightly, tightly. "How could I leave you? How could I not want you?"
She held his handsome face in her hands, forcing him to look into her eyes, and spoke every word solemnly as if he were making a vow.
"Xiao Xuezheng, listen carefully. I love you, very much. I will never leave you, ever. We will have our own home, have lovely babies, and we will grow old together."
"It was my fault before. I was ignorant and made you sad. But I won't do that again in the future. I promise."
"So, don't be afraid, okay?"
As she spoke, she leaned forward and kissed his cold, thin lips.
This kiss was no longer flirting or demanding, but full of comfort and compassion.
In her own clumsy way, she conveyed her love and determination to him over and over again.
Xiao Xue Zheng's body went from being stiff at first to slowly relaxing.
He closed his eyes, took the initiative, and deepened the kiss.
It is no longer a forceful plunder, but is filled with the cherishment of losing and regaining and the deep affection that is so strong that it cannot be dissolved.
Not until they were both out of breath did he let go of her a little and rested his hot forehead against hers.
"RunRun." He called her name over and over again, his voice thick with nasal sounds.
Only then did Shi Runrun realize that this arrogant man was actually crying.
Crystal clear liquid slid from the corner of his eyes and dripped onto her cheek, burning hot.
Shi Runrun's heart was in so much pain that it couldn't be undone.
She reached out her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Don't cry, your makeup is all smudged. How can you be the most handsome groom tomorrow?" She teased him deliberately.
The man was amused by her words and chuckled softly, with a sense of relief in his laughter.
He held her tightly in his arms and rubbed his chin on the top of her head, like a large dog that had found support.
"Runrun, thank you."
Thank you for coming back.
Thank you for giving me another chance.
Thank you for marrying me.
The night outside the window is still dark.
But the two people in the study seemed to have the warmest sunshine in the world.
"Okay, go to bed." Shi Runrun patted his back, "Otherwise, you'll look really unattractive with dark circles under your eyes tomorrow."
"Yeah." The man nodded, stood up and picked her up horizontally.
"Let's sleep together." He lowered his head and kissed her hard on the lips.
"Tomorrow, I will marry you."
