Chapter 10 Repeating Mistakes
Wei An, why are you unwilling to listen to your aunt? Jing Ru is the most suitable for you, and most importantly, Jing Ru loves you! She would never bear to hurt you...
She really married Du Weiyan
Shen Ningxia stood at the familiar apartment building. According to Du Weihua, Du Weian has been living here for nearly a year.
Indeed, after she treated him in such a manner, how could he still treat her as he did in the past
Faced with the aggressive Du Fanghua, Shen Ningxia remained silent.
No way! Du Wei tilted his head and drank the wine in his cup, then added, "Brother, you know me. I have always been stubborn since I was young, I respond to kindness but not to force. If I am unwilling to do something, even if you call Mom and Dad over, or even if you put a knife to my throat, I absolutely will not do it."
Unfolding the bright red marriage certificate, the two individuals in the photograph merely gaze at the camera, their smiles faint, almost imperceptible.
After an unknown amount of time, Du Weian appeared before her with a dark expression: "What are you doing here?" Whether it was the rain or his emotionless tone, Shen Ningxia felt a chill spreading throughout her body. She clenched the sleeves of her clothes and murmured in a voice barely above a whisper: "I have something to discuss with you"
Will Du Weian really register for marriage with her tomorrow? Will Du Weian also suddenly say no like she did? If they do register, how will the two of them get along in the future?
After hanging up the phone, Shen Ningxia let out a sigh of relief. However, when she placed her hand on the keypad, she suddenly realized that she did not have the password to enter. Holding onto a mindset of trying her luck, she pressed the numbers that came to her memory, one after another. After entering all the digits, she heard a "ding" sound, and the glass door automatically opened in front of her
Shen Ningxia emerged from the restroom and immediately saw Du Fanghua, whose expression was dark and sullen. She was waiting for her
Wei An noticed Shen Ningxia's busy figure as she opened the garment steamer on one side of the living room, preparing to iron the clothes he would wear today. A few seconds later, Du Wei An withdrew his gaze, pulled out a chair, and sat down to have breakfast
He set down his chopsticks and threw her a line: "If you don't want me to run away from the wedding, it would be best for you to stay here tonight. I'm afraid I might change my mind at any moment." Shen Ningxia stared blankly at his straight back as he entered the master bedroom
If it is regarding the peacekeeping and Miss Su's matter, I have already discussed it with the peacekeeping team
Does he mean for her to dry it? Shen Ningxia silently took it and wiped her half-damp hair
You can rest assured, I will be happy.
With your wealth and beauty, who wouldn't want to marry you? Why do you specifically want to marry me?
As she was about to leave, Su Jianan took Shen Ningxia's hand and lowered her voice: "Ningxia, are you really not attending my wedding tomorrow?" Shen Ningxia remained silent. All the friends and family who would attend Su Jianan's wedding tomorrow had previously been present at her wedding with Du Weian. If she were to appear, Su Jianan's wedding would become the largest gossip hotspot in the Seven Islands.
In a moment of daze, only the faint voice of Du Weiyan echoed in the room: "Since you have nothing to say, then forget it. I have a dinner appointment and need to leave in a hurry." He stepped towards the door. Shen Ningxia watched in disbelief as his hand grasped the doorknob, ready to press it down the next second
Du Wei's words were laced with hidden barbs, and Du Wei'an knew he was not joking, leaving him momentarily at a loss for how to respond
Shen Ningxia suddenly turned her head, thinking she had misheard. However, Du Weian's dark, bright eyes were firmly fixed on her as he repeated slowly and deliberately: "We will go register our marriage tomorrow. If this time, you are not afraid of me running away from the wedding."
Du Weian ended the call and tossed his phone onto the shoe bench in the foyer. He pushed aside her arms that were wrapped around him and turned around with an expressionless face: "Speak, what exactly do you want to see me about?" The room was unlit, and it was now shrouded in darkness, much like his somber expression.
Su Jiani was about to persuade Ning Xia again, but suddenly a familiar figure appeared in her line of sight, causing her to be stunned. Shen Ningxia turned around following her gaze and saw Du Weian walking towards them.
The sweet memories of the two, whenever Shen Ningxia recalls them, always feel so beautiful that they seem unreal, as if they were merely a dream.
Thus, she entered the kitchen. Upon opening the cabinet, Shen Ningxia was taken aback. The instant noodles and snacks she had prepared before were surprisingly still there. After rummaging through the cabinets, she finally found a package of noodles that was still within its expiration date
On the day of the wedding last year, he also wore a similar outfit, smiling as he took her hand... In an instant, her nose and eyes suddenly felt warm... Shen Ningxia hurriedly lowered her eyelids
Shen Ningxia mustered her courage and asked, "Du Weian, do you still wish to marry me?" Du Weian's words came to an abrupt halt. He stood still, gazing at her with a deep and complex look, as if trying to ascertain something.
Du Weian seemed to regain his senses and suddenly turned his head. His gaze was extremely indifferent; after glancing at her, he withdrew it: "I understand. See you in half an hour."
That night, Du Weian did not go out again. He instructed her, "Since you didn't go out for dinner because of me, shouldn't you compensate me?" Shen Ningxia stared at him in a daze, and then understood.
Du Weian had his back turned to her. Shen Ningxia watched as he hung up the phone, saw him no longer hesitate, reached out to open the door, and issued an eviction order: "Sorry, I am in a hurry"
"Did Wei An really marry you?" Listening to Du Fanghua's tone, it seemed she still could not believe it. Shen Ningxia lowered her eyelids and simply replied with two words: "Indeed."
Shen Ningxia simply found it unbelievable: "Du Weihe, don't you think you are being ridiculous? Are you joking with your elder brother's happiness?"
However, Du Weian unexpectedly sat down on the sofa, picked up a magazine from beside the coffee table, and began to flip through it. Shen Ningxia heard his voice say: "Move quickly, we are pressed for time." Shen Ningxia looked up in astonishment, not understanding the meaning of his words
The large bed in the guest room is soft and comfortable, yet Shen Ningxia lies on it, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
Du Weian's progress, however, is not satisfactory. His younger brother Du Wei does not take him seriously: "Brother, don't get involved in this matter!"
Du Weian sat down and spoke directly: "What do you want from me?" Shen Ningxia pondered for a moment, considering how to begin. In this almost frozen silence, fortunately, the waiter approached with a smile, presenting the menu and addressing Du Weian: "Sir, what would you like?"
In a state of restless thoughts and sleeplessness, Shen Ningxia was awakened the next morning by Du Weian's knock on the door: "Get up, we are going to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Hurry up, I might change my mind at any moment."
After coming out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Du Wei'an escorted her downstairs and casually dropped a sentence: "I am going to work." Shen Ningxia watched his car disappear around the corner, feeling a sense of confusion in her heart
On this day last year, they were still living in this apartment wearing matching couple slippers
Du Wei and is gambling, he is betting on the friendship between Shen Ningxia and Su Jiani, and he is also wagering on how deep Su Jiani's feelings for him are
He has always remembered the hurtful words she spoke that day. It is not his fault. No groom would easily forget being treated that way on the wedding day
Shen Ningxia suddenly felt a subtle sensation: if Du Weian stepped through this door, he would never turn back again. She gritted her teeth and rushed forward, tightly embracing his waist: "Please don't go."
Shen Ningxia lowered her eyelids and noticed that Du Weiyan was wearing the deep blue striped linen slippers that she had purchased for him last year. She had also bought the same style in a pink striped version.
You should consider this! How could she so easily marry you? She has been plotting all along, surely it is to take revenge on me, to take revenge on our Du family
Day after day, a week has passed unknowingly. Du Wei also found it difficult to endure
At this point, Shen Ningxia was completely at a loss. After a moment of thought, she gently said to the person on the other end of the phone: "Du Weihe, from beginning to end, you don't care at all about Jiani, nor about the child in her womb. With this attitude, even if Jiani marries you, she will not be happy. Let's put an end to this matter. I will find a way to resolve this issue in another manner."
As Du Weian entered the apartment, he went straight to the bedroom, leaving Shen Ningxia to wait in the living room. ... Looking up, she noticed the vintage lamp beside the sofa, the tablecloth on the dining table, and the bouquet in the transparent crystal vase ... . ... It had been nearly a year since she left, yet there was not a single change in the apartment.
Du Weian's gaze was firmly locked onto Shen Ningxia, who had her face turned to the side, her brows lowered, seemingly indifferent to what her aunt was saying
If she did not speak today, Shen Ningxia knew she would never muster the courage in her lifetime. She slowly raised her head and finally uttered, "I am sorry." Du Weian's figure seemed to freeze; he halted all his movements and did not move an inch thereafter
She recounted the events in a rambling manner. In the end, she gently asked, "Will you blame me?"
In the coffee shop, the lighting was dim and hazy, with scattered customers all around. However, it was strange that the moment Shen Ningxia entered, she spotted Du Weian at first glance. He was standing in the corner, turned slightly to the side while on the phone. His silhouette and the expression on his face as he spoke were just as she had remembered, deeply etched in her memory
Perhaps, this is also a form of response
As Shen Ningxia finished washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen, she caught sight of Du Weian, who had changed into a black formal suit, complemented by a white shirt and a black bow tie. Even though each of these garments had been ironed by her own hands, seeing them worn by Du Weian still left Shen Ningxia in awe.
But why does her heart still feel as if it is being tightly squeezed by someone, sending waves of suffocating pain through her
After a long while, Su Jiani finally managed to utter a few words: "Impossible! Ningxia has never mentioned it." Du Wei curved his lips into a faint smile, his tone carrying an unrecognized tenderness, "You little fool"
She waited for a long time, but the sky still began to drizzle. She had not brought an umbrella, so she had to take shelter from the rain at the door. After a moment, the rain intensified, and the raindrops carried by the wind soaked her clothes.
No matter how bitter the road was when I came, I am willing to tread the same path for love, hoping for the moment you look back
Indeed, it is quite unfair! By the way, would you like to see my engagement ring? I will send you a picture on WeChat shortly.
Weian, are you really planning to fall in the same place twice
Su Jiani is pregnant and cannot engage in laborious tasks. Du Wei meticulously took care of every detail of the entire wedding. He even handled the custom wedding dress, coordinating directly with a renowned international designer.
Due to her pregnancy, the designer created a strapless wedding gown for Su Jiani. The exquisite and luxurious white fabric cascades down from beneath the bust, resembling flowers blooming in a cluster, exuding a very languid and charming allure. The staff at the wedding dress company were also quite eloquent: "Madam Du has a great figure; wearing this style, we can hardly tell that she is pregnant."
Du Fanghua gritted her teeth, clearly filled with extreme resentment: "Why won't you just let Wei An go? You've already taken your revenge on him once. What more do you want?"
In fact, Shen Ningxia had anticipated that it would turn out this way. However, many times, thinking about it is one thing, and encountering it in reality is quite another. At this moment, even in the absence of others, Shen Ningxia felt a burning heat on her face, which was quite embarrassing
The two ordered a cup of coffee each. After the waiter left, he expressionlessly raised his wrist to check the time: "I apologize, I have an appointment at 8:30. If there is anything to discuss, please speak plainly."
Du Weihe said, "Brother, you can rest assured, I will take care of her!" Du Weian was extremely dissatisfied and said sternly, "Du Weihe! What you call taking care of her, does it mean making her get an abortion?" Du Weihe remained silent. From childhood to adulthood, his elder brother rarely called him by his full name. Once he did, it indicated that he was angry.
Even Shen Ningxia, who is well-acquainted with his background, occasionally doubts which Du Wei is the real one
Du Wei pinched her cheek and smiled, saying, "You didn't know they have reconciled, did you?" Sure enough, in the next moment, he saw Su Jiani's slightly parted pink lips, looking utterly astonished and adorably dazed
If it were not for the busy preparations for the wedding and the plan to register after returning from the honeymoon, she and he would have already been husband and wife. Shen Ningxia gazed at the few bold, dark characters, reminiscing about the past, and for a moment felt a bit dazed
Sometimes I feel that Du Weian might really have a change of heart, while at other times I feel that he might not.
Brother, my request is not excessive; you only need to give me one month. During this month, as long as you do not interfere, everything will be fine
I simply will not allow anyone to bully my elder brother or the members of the Du family. Since you once promised my elder brother that you would marry him, I will ensure that you marry him.
However, Du Weian never turned around. The two remained silent
A bath towel suddenly flew straight towards her, landing on the sofa in front of her. Shen Ningxia looked up and saw Du Weian coming out. He had changed into a white shirt and beige trousers, with the cuffs rolled up, looking very casual
On the following day, Shen Ningxia woke up very early. When she drew back the curtains, the first light of dawn was just beginning to appear on the horizon. She tiptoed into the kitchen and started to toast some bread
Although she does not like Du Weihua, Shen Ningxia has to admit that Du Weihua possesses outstanding capabilities in handling affairs. In front of Su Jia's parents, he is gentle and considerate, inquiring about their well-being, successfully portraying the image of a good man who is deeply in love with Su Jiani. Coupled with his degree from a prestigious foreign university, his position and excellent qualifications in the Fang Group, as well as his remarkable appearance that complements Su Jiani, all of these make Su's father and mother extremely satisfied with him
Du Wei said coldly: "I do not think I am joking. Shen Ningxia, all along, the one who has been joking with my elder brother and hurting him is you!" That is a fact. Shen Ningxia was unable to refute.
Alright, we will get married
Su Jiani examined herself in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, I look like a balloon that has been inflated, now a size larger. Look, the zipper is almost unable to close." Shen Ningxia stared at her ample bosom, but smiled without speaking.
Shen Ningxia entered the bathroom, and as soon as she opened the door, she noticed the newly placed towel and toothbrush on the washstand. She silently began to wash and groom herself
Du Weihe's gaze shifted to her feet, and Fang Song let out a sigh of relief. Su Jiani was wearing a pair of black flat soft sheepskin shoes, which were clearly suitable for a walk downstairs with Shen Ningxia.
Shen Ningxia watched him leave until he disappeared
The two individuals coexist in a cold and indifferent atmosphere
Du Wei'an, I am sorry
The faint scent of grass, along with his warm body fragrance, is the essence of Du Weian... Holding him so intimately, inhaling his familiar scent, even a second is precious... Shen Ningxia, gathering her courage, gradually leaned her forehead closer to him, finally resting it against his broad back
The car drove on in silence, with neither party speaking, the quietness becoming suffocating. Du Weian's face remained tense, as if he were in a very bad mood. After a while, the car finally arrived at the Marriage Registration Office of the Civil Affairs Bureau in Qidao City
She had not informed Jiani of the fact that she was once again with Du Weian, which is why Su Jiani displayed such a look of surprise
If one does not love a person, one will not be hurt by him (or her)
The two maintained this intimate yet awkward posture until Du Weiyan's phone rang again. He answered the call: "Jingru, I’m sorry, I have an urgent matter and cannot come over. I will treat you to dinner next time to make it up to you."
I went to apologize to him, saying that I was wrong, that I had always loved him, that I was willing to do anything for him, and that I wanted to marry him. After a long while, Shen Ningxia finally spoke, repeating his requests one by one, and then asked, "If he really is willing to marry me, then what about the future, what will happen next?"
Shen Ningxia's footsteps were extremely light, yet Du Weian seemed to possess ears that could hear a thousand miles away. The moment she stepped out, he was aware of it, put down the magazine, stood up, and said: "Let's go"
Such a gaze devoid of warmth, such a gaze as if looking at a bystander... Shen Ningxia suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart
That night, Shen Ningxia received a delighted call from Su Jiani: "Ningxia, Weihe has returned from abroad, and he knelt down to propose to me... I haven't even told him that I'm pregnant yet..." Naturally, Shen Ningxia pretended to know nothing, smiling as she congratulated her: "That's wonderful, Jiani. Congratulations! Look at you, you've shed so many unjust tears."
There were still only noodles and eggs at home. Therefore, that night, Shen Ningxia made two bowls of noodles again. Du Weian silently finished them all.
Of course I want to see. Shen Ningxia hesitated whether to tell Jia Ni about her marriage situation with Du Weian. However, upon further reflection, she realized that she did not even know how long this marriage could last. Sigh, perhaps it would be better to wait a while before discussing it. This way, Su Jia Ni would not keep asking questions, and she might inadvertently reveal the true reason for the marriage.
Su Jiani: "I understand your difficulties. But this is my wedding, and I don't mind. Ningxia, I really want you to attend." Shen Ningxia gave a faint bitter smile and shook her head in refusal, saying: "Jiani, I'm sorry."
Shen Ningxia was taken aback: "You!" Du Wei snorted coldly: "Shen Ningxia, regarding Su Jiani's matter, in this world, you can only seek my help. Even if you expel me from the Fang family, I am not afraid!"
Using the eggs in the refrigerator, Shen Ningxia made two bowls of fried egg noodles. The only difference was that she placed three eggs in Du Weian's bowl and one in her own bowl
That night, Du Weian did not come out again
That was a time of deep affection between the two, and he set it up using a combination of her birthday and his birthday numbers
Du Wei turned his face to the side, making it difficult to discern his expression. After a while, he stood up and approached the wine cabinet, opening a bottle of wine: "Brother, give me a month. As long as you don't interfere, I promise you that this matter will be resolved satisfactorily." Du Wei'an was unwilling to let the matter rest: "Then tell me, how do you plan to resolve it satisfactorily?"
Du Weian's body tensed in an instant. Shen Ningxia actually had no confidence at all; she was afraid that he would push her hand away
Shen Ningxia lowered her eyes and briefly informed Du Weian about Su Jiani's situation as concisely as possible
Du Wei, upon hearing his words, suddenly thought of Su Jiani's child in her womb, and he was momentarily taken aback. After a moment, his face alternated between red and white as he spat out a few words: "I will definitely kill that bastard"
Du Weian's expression was extremely serious: "What do you mean by telling me not to interfere? I may not know other girls well, but I have known Su Jiani for quite some time. She is not one of those indecent girls, and you should think carefully before provoking her."
Du's parents were both surprised and at a loss when they saw her at the Du family home, which was both expected and unexpected for Shen Ningxia. In fact, none of Du's relatives and friends were not utterly astonished upon seeing her
As I brushed past Du Weian, I heard his voice hoarsely rise: "Do you still have lingering thoughts, wishing to prepare for a second revenge against the Du family?"
The two of them remained in a stalemate. After a while, Du Wei'an put down the magazine, stood up, and walked towards her. He took her hand and led her into her room, opened the wardrobe, took out a piece of clothing, and tossed it onto the bed: "Change into this"
There was also Du Fanghua, who had brought Zeng Jingru along. Upon seeing Shen Ningxia serving tea to the guests in the living room, the astonished expression on her face left an indelible mark on Shen Ningxia's life: "How could you be here?" Du Fangli pulled her sister aside and whispered a few words.
Looking around the apartment, everything was neat and orderly, and very clean. Shen Ningxia, alone in the empty room, did not know what to do. Suddenly, she remembered the expired food in the cupboard from yesterday, so she went into the kitchen to clean it up. She became so busy that she worked for half a day, and when she finally had some free time, Shen Ningxia suddenly recalled that she had not had a single sip of water since getting up. However, she did not feel hungry at all. She became so busy that she worked for half a day, and when she finally had some free time, Shen Ningxia suddenly recalled that she had not had a single sip of water since getting up. However, she did not feel hungry at all.
His car was parked by the roadside, observing their every move until the two of them went upstairs
"I am sorry, Jiani, I have tried my best," she silently murmured to herself, lowering her head. At this moment, all she wanted was to leave this place as quickly as possible
One evening, Du Weihe hesitated and paced in his room for a long time before finally dialing Shen Ningxia's number: "How is it? What have you decided?" Shen Ningxia remained silent. Du Weihe "kindly" offered his analysis, "Shen Ningxia, after all, everything that should have happened between you and my brother has already happened. Besides, my brother is a rare talent, and you are merely admitting a mistake to him. Furthermore, even if you want to get married, my brother might not agree... In fact, you are not at a loss at all."
As Shen Ningxia just got out of the taxi, she saw Du Wei carefully assisting Su Jiani up the steps. It was the afternoon, and the sunlight was warm and lingering. It shone on Su Jiani's sweetly smiling, fair and tender face, making it sparkle like a gem.
In peacekeeping, Jiani also has both a father and a mother, and she was raised by her parents with great care, being called their precious child since childhood
After Du Weian came out of the bedroom, her gaze settled on the dining table. On the white, smooth bone china plate lay an enticing ham and egg dish alongside a tomato sandwich. Next to it was a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. For more than a month, she had prepared breakfast for him every day, alternating between Chinese and Western styles, with each day offering something different
Du Weian was very polite, but the underlying tone seemed somewhat anxious and impatient, as if he wanted her to finish speaking and leave. Shen Ningxia stopped her wiping motion, trying to organize the words she was about to say.
Du Weian was utterly astonished upon hearing this. He said to her with utmost seriousness: "Weihe has always enjoyed leisure, but such a thing has never happened. Rest assured, I will have a good talk with him."
Two people who once loved each other so deeply and passionately have surprisingly reached such a cold state
As tomorrow is the day of her grand wedding, Su Jianni specifically went to the bridal shop for a final fitting. Shen Ningxia responded to Su Jianni's "call" and came to accompany her.
In this world, the newlyweds who have reached a point of having nothing to say to each other right after getting married are probably only her and Du Weian.
The other end of the phone fell silent, as if there was no one there. Du Wei and Nai patiently waited
This is the bus to the cemetery. When it came to a stop, Shen Ningxia boarded the bus without hesitation
Will he really have a change of heart? Shen Ningxia is uncertain. As for Du Weian now, he is very indifferent towards her, almost more so than a stranger.
Su Jiani clutched her chest and exclaimed, "Do not look!" Shen Ningxia found it amusing and replied, "Rest assured! Although this wedding dress is said to be strapless, it is so modest that not even a line can be seen, truly nothing to look at.
Du Weian naturally had no idea that Du Wei had called Ning Xia as soon as he returned to his room: "Shen Ningxia, it is useless for you to look for my brother. If you have the ability, make my brother marry Su Jiani."
Since they are married, shouldn't she move some things over? Shen Ningxia thought for a long time and finally decided to go home and sort out a few pieces of clothing to bring over. However, while waiting for the bus, she saw the familiar No. 90 bus.
Du Wei stepped forward and took Su Jiani's hand: "Let's go, we should head back first." Even when they reached the car, Su Jiani was still worried: "Why did your elder brother come?"
Shen Ningxia said softly, "You can pretend I never said that." Du Weian replied, "Words once spoken are like water spilled; I have heard them, how can I act as if I haven't?" His tone was indifferent, leaving Shen Ningxia uncertain of his meaning. She could only remain silent.
Du Wei probably did not expect her to refuse him in such a manner. After a pause of several seconds on the other end of the line, he suddenly said in a gruff voice: "Alright, Shen Ningxia, I will give you half a month. If you do not respond within this half month, I will assume you have chosen to resolve it in another way. Please do not bother me again in the future."
One evening, Du Wei found himself inexplicably driving his sports car to the foot of Ningxia's building. Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest. He saw Su Jiani. She did not appear to be pregnant at all—wearing a loose-fitting light blue long shirt, with a matching belt tied around her waist. The loose style accentuated her slender waist, which seemed to be barely graspable.
That evening, she met with Du Weian as scheduled
It is unclear how long had passed in this manner when Du Weian's phone rang, breaking the silence. Du Weian answered the call; he could not hear what was being said on the other end, but he responded, "I am about to head out now, I should arrive in about half an hour." His tone was soft and warm, clearly not related to work
After their reunion, his tone remained indifferent. Shen Ningxia tightened her grip on her clothes again
The spacious room fell into an extreme silence, where even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard
Suddenly, Du Weian coldly laughed and said, "You aren't planning to escape for the second time, are you?" Shen Ningxia silently withdrew her gaze. Du Weian's tone was quite unpleasant, "Then get out of the car!"
Du Weian did not glance at her again, turning to input the password on the electronic door. With a sound of "ding," the door opened in response, and Du Weian stepped inside. After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped: "Aren't you coming in?"
Du Weian looked up at her and said calmly, "You are Du Weihe's sister-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Du family. In such an occasion, you wouldn't think you could be absent, would you?" In fact, Shen Ningxia did think so.
Thank you, I will wait for your good news. You're welcome. Du Weian stood up, goodbye
Du Weian had nothing to say and buried himself in eating. It seemed he was truly hungry, as he devoured the noodles and eggs completely
"Please speak, what is it?" At a distance of about 2 meters from her, Du Weian stopped in his tracks and asked.
As in the past, what I respond to her is merely sunshine and a gentle breeze
On the other end of the phone was Zeng Jingru, the woman that Du Fanghua had set her sights on. She had once openly told Shen Ningxia: "Jingru is the one truly suitable for Wei An"
Wei An, divorce her. Take advantage of the fact that Jing Ru knows nothing right now, and divorce her.
Pin Guan "Repetition of Mistakes"
For some reason, Du Weian felt a surge of inexplicable anger rising in his heart. A few seconds later, he clearly uttered a few words: "Aunt, you can rest assured. I will never give her such an opportunity again"
It is a rose-red lace dress, featuring a round neckline and short sleeves, elegant and dignified
While abroad, she had countless memories of this place, recalling many things. She once thought that she would never return here again
He suddenly realized with anxiety that he had no certainty either
After a long time, he finally received the response he had been waiting for: "Alright, I promise you."
The million little bells planted in the clay pot continue to bloom vigorously. Shen Ningxia took a wet wipe and cleaned the tombstones of her grandmother and mother: "Grandma, Mom, I got married to Du Weian today"
This younger brother of mine has always been quite stubborn and cannot be forced. Du Weian paused for a moment and then earnestly advised, "Weihe, you are no longer a three-year-old child! You should understand how much harm such matters can cause to a girl!"
She thought that Du Weian would be in a hurry to leave, after all, today is a day of great joy for the Du family, and he is now evidently the person in charge of the Du family, with many matters requiring his attention.
But now, she stands here once again. Her feet truly touch the bright and clean floor, yet Shen Ningxia still feels as if she is dreaming
Shen Ningxia: "I went home to pack some clothes. I am now preparing to go back." Du Weian paused for a moment before saying: "Stay there, I will come to pick you up."
Shen Ningxia was organizing a carry-on bag of clothes at home, and just as she was about to leave, her phone rang. It was Du Weian, and his tone was unusual, as if a storm was approaching: "Where are you right now?"
"I will give you twenty minutes to do your makeup and change your clothes." His tone was commanding, leaving no room for Shen Ningxia to refuse. Shen Ningxia remained silent and did not move. She could not do this; she would ruin Jiani's wedding
Shen Ningxia immediately called Du Weihe: "I have taken care of the matter I promised you." Du Weihe replied with just a few words: "Okay, I understand."
Shen Ningxia was not surprised. If Du Fanghua did not come to find her, that would have been surprising
When she came out, Du Weiyan had already finished grooming himself and was sitting on the sofa in the living room, refreshed and flipping through a magazine. The gentle morning sunlight streamed in, and in the warm beams of light, countless specks of dust swirled and danced around him
Du Weian is the only person I have ever wanted to marry in my life. Even if I marry him like this, I am still happy in my heart. It's just a pity that Du Weian will no longer be the same Du Weian as before... However, it doesn't matter, regardless of whether the duration of this marriage is short or long, I will cherish it well...
Su Jiani pouted and said, "I just want this effect. As for my figure, it's enough to show it to my husband; why should I generously show it to others?" Shen Ningxia clicked her tongue and lamented, "What a pity, it's a waste of your devilish figure."
Since the decision has been made to do anything for Jiani, and having come this far, it is better to see it through to the end. That night, Shen Ningxia chose to stay.
Shen Ningxia remained motionless in a sideways position. She understood the hidden meaning behind Du Weiyan's words
Shen Ningxia held her breath, waiting for Du Weian's response. However, he cruelly remained silent.
After Shen Ningxia went upstairs, she still used that string of numbers to unlock the apartment door
As she was about to leave, she silently gazed at Fang Liming's tombstone for a long time. Then, she reached out to tidy up the flowers and vines beside the tombstone, gently saying: "I am leaving. You will take good care of them, won't you?"
The spacious registration hall was empty, with no one present except for the staff and a pair of newlyweds. Filling out application forms, making payments, and taking photos took no more than ten minutes, and the couple successfully completed all the procedures.
Du Wei spoke in a calm tone: "If my elder brother is unwilling, then you have fulfilled all my requests. However, if my elder brother is willing to marry you, then matters after the marriage are no longer my concern. Do as you wish with my elder brother!"
In peacekeeping, one must empathize with others in both actions and conduct. If we had a younger sister, or if you were to have a daughter in the future, how would you feel if she were treated in such a manner?
In a moment, Du Weian's car arrived. He got out of the car with a blank expression, took her bag, and tossed it onto the back seat. Throughout the journey, Shen Ningxia could only turn her head and pretend to look at the scenery outside the window. The current Du Weian was always cold and silent, completely transformed into a different person, leaving her unsure of how to interact with him
The staff helped Su Jiani take off her wedding dress, preparing for the final fitting adjustments for tomorrow's wedding
But fortunately, he did not. He did not turn around, nor did he move. He allowed her to embrace him from behind
It has not changed at all
"Rest assured, I will marry her, and I will treat her well within my capabilities." After saying this, Du Wei asked directly, "Shen Ningxia, I have been honest enough with you. Now, please give me an answer. After all, if this continues to drag on, the one who will suffer is not me"
The entire apartment was very quiet, with only the humming sound of the garment steamer. Du Weian would occasionally glance up at her, but he would quickly lower his head and continue with his breakfast
Shen Ningxia took several steps before turning back, only to see the tombstones of her parents and grandmother surrounded by lush green grass, with the flowers in the ceramic vase swaying gently in the breeze. The surroundings were peaceful and serene
At that moment, the door was opened, and Du Weian appeared before the two. Du Fanghua said: "Weian, I have told you before that she is with you to take revenge on the Du family. Last time, you didn't believe it and refused to listen to your aunt's advice. And what was the result? Not listening to the words of the elders has led to suffering right before your eyes"
On this night of their meeting, Shen Ningxia finally understood what it meant to say "everything is in the past." It was she who had decisively pushed Du Weian out of her life, leaving no room for hesitation. The fact that Du Weian was now being so polite to her was already a blessing for her
Grandma, Mom, I have a secret that I will only tell the two of you in confidence
Such formalities and this bureaucratic tone finally made Shen Ningxia understand what it means to be "painfully unbearable"
