Chapter 61: Chapter 61 You’re too selfish!_1
Su Wanxia didn’t understand why he asked her to try on clothes and asked in confusion, “Why do I need to try on clothes?”
Mu Yingchen looked down at her with a light voice, “You will accompany
to Mu Feng’s wedding the day after tomorrow.”
Su Wanxia’s eyes instantly widened with shock, and then she blurted out without thinking, “I don’t want to!”
Mu Yingchen’s face instantly turned cold as ice, she actually said no?
The rage deep within was finally fully ignited by Su Wanxia’s refusal.
He clenched his hands, a hint of self-mocking smile curling his lips, “Then what do you want?”
Su Wanxia looked down with her eyelids drooping, what she actually wanted was very simple, yet unattainable.
“Su Wanxia! Tell
what you want, and I will give you everything,” Mu Yingchen struggled to control his emotion, not wishing to unleash his fury on her at this mont.
“I want you not to make
do things I don’t want to do!” Su Wanxia defiantly lifted her head, locking eyes with Mu Yingchen.
The expression in Mu Yingchen’s eyes instantly shattered, he felt his heart had numbed.
Su Wanxia stood up from the edge of the bed and walked over to Mu Yingchen, suddenly wrapping her arms around his waist, resting her head on his broad chest so casually, so naturally.
Mu Yingchen stood frozen in place, stunned by Su Wanxia’s action, the fragnted look in his eyes slowly rging back together.
Su Wanxia’s voice was soft but laced with a faint weariness, “Achen, I just want to stay quietly by your side. Don’t make
et your family, nor tell others I’m your girlfriend. As long as I’m by your side, that’s enough. Isn’t that good?”
Silence, a deep silence, so silent that Su Wanxia could hear their heartbeats.
After a long while, Mu Yingchen finally lifted his hands. Su Wanxia thought he would embrace her and fondly look at her as he used to, agreeing with her, but unexpectedly, he pushed her away violently.
In that instant, her eyes were full of disbelief. She looked up blankly, staring at those cold eyes, frozen in place, feeling like her heart was pierced repeatedly with dense needles, shaking so much it hurt. Did she even lose the right to stay by his side?
“Su Wanxia, you are too selfish!” Mu Yingchen said these words coldly, without another glance at Su Wanxia, turned, and left.
What did she take him for? To co and go as she pleases, to throw him away ruthlessly like she did 6 years ago without a second thought for his feelings, leaving for 6 years? All he wanted was a bit of peace of mind. Why couldn’t she grant him that?
The sound of the door slamming outside jolted Su Wanxia back to reality, tears sliding down her cheeks in silence. Selfish? He called her selfish? He didn’t know how those words coming from his mouth utterly shattered her will!
Was it really that she was too selfish?
Her legs gave out, and she slid down to the floor by the bed, hugging her knees with her head buried in them, her shoulders trembling slightly. Was she really going to lose him this ti?
———-
August 26 was a festive day; Kang Xiaolan was finally going to marry her prince charming as she had always wished.
According to C City’s wedding customs, the groom is not allowed to pick up the bride himself; the bride must be escorted by her family to the wedding venue, where her father will then personally hand her over to the groom.
So, early in the morning of this day, Su Wanxia, Yan Yirou, Jian Manhui, and Gong Yining all arrived early at Kang Xiaolan’s house.
While most brides are reluctant to leave, Kang Xiaolan’s face showed nothing but eagerness, much to her mother’s chagrin.
Kang Xiaolan’s mother placed the thin veil over her daughter, casting a subtle shadow over her delicate features, creating an image of sanctity, mystery, and beauty.
“Lanlan, Mom only wishes you everlasting happiness,” Kang Xiaolan’s mother said with red-rimd eyes, her voice sowhat choked up.
Kang Xiaolan knew her mother was reluctant to let her go and comforted her, “Mom, even though I’m getting married, I’ll still be in C City. I will co back often, so don’t act like I’m gone for good.”
“Tsk tsk, don’t speak such inauspicious words on such a joyful day,” Kang Xiaolan’s last comnt imdiately dispelled her mother’s sadness.
“Hehe, I’m just making a comparison,” Kang Xiaolan said.
“That’s not acceptable either!”
“Okay, I got it.”
“Auntie, it’s ti to go, we should head out,” Yan Yirou reminded the two.
“Right, right, look at my forgetful head.”
The long wedding car procession was parked in front of the Kang family’s villa, with Yan Yirou and Jian Manhui as bridesmaids, so they rode in the sa car as Kang Xiaolan, while Su Wanxia and Gong Yining casually picked another car to ride in.
Su Wanxia watched as the long procession set off and said to Gong Yining next to her, “Yining, once we arrive at the wedding venue, I won’t get out of the car.” She would just drop off Kang Xiaolan and leave.
“Why?” Gong Yining’s eyes were full of questions. Xiaolan was getting married, and Wanxia wasn’t going to attend her wedding?
Su Wanxia paused, her expression sowhat downcast, “I’ll explain to you later. I can’t make it clear right now.”
Hearing Su Wanxia say that, Gong Yining was even more confused, but since she didn’t want to talk about it now, it wasn’t appropriate for her to ask more, “Alright then.”
Half an hour later, the procession slowed down as they arrived at the wedding venue.
Through the car window, Su Wanxia glanced at the dreamily decorated wedding scene and slightly curved her lips, wishing Mu Feng and Xiaolan happiness forever.
The car had co to a stop, and Gong Yining looked at Su Wanxia again, “Wanxia, then I’m going down.”
“Mhm, go ahead,” Su Wanxia nodded with a smile.
As she watched a crowd escorting Kang Xiaolan to the wedding site, she also slowly drifted away with the procession.
Su Wanxia initially planned to go to work, but given that everyone at the company knew about Mu Feng and Kang Xiaolan’s wedding today, if she showed up there, those people might start spreading all sorts of things.
Going ho wasn’t an option either; her mom would definitely ask, “Weren’t you going to Xiaolan’s wedding? How co you’re back so soon?” It would surely lead to an endless stream of questions.
Forget it, better to be alone and peaceful!
Entering a coffee shop, she ordered a cup of coffee, picked up a book.
Her slender fingers had just gently turned a page when her phone began to ring.
Picking up the phone and seeing the na on the caller ID, she imdiately showed a surprised look.
“Jesse!”
“Sumr, I just arrived in C City, where are you?” Jesse’s fluent Chinese sounded through the phone.
Hearing this, Su Wanxia opened her mouth in surprise, “You’re not playing a joke on , are you?”
“No, my mother ca back for a visit, and I’m accompanying her.”
“Shouldn’t your mother be visiting B City? What are you doing in C City?” Su Wanxia asked, puzzled.
“I ca by to see you, and I’ll head to B City tomorrow.”
“Oh, I see, so should I be very happy?” Su Wanxia said teasingly.
“What do you think?”
“Haha.”
Su Wanxia gave Jesse the address of her location and sat quietly in the coffee shop waiting, her mood significantly relaxed.
