Chapter 07 Ten Years

Du Weian called out "Dad" in a straightforward manner. Fang Liming patted Du Weian on the shoulder and said happily: "Old Cai and Old Zeng always praise you in front of me, saying that after so many years of nurturing, I ended up giving you away for free to someone else. They also said they didn't know which family would be fortunate enough to have such a steady, capable, and filial son-in-law like you. In the end, the luckiest person is actually me! Haha! This truly is a case of good fortune not flowing to outsiders!"

Du Fangliang's expression darkened as he said in a low voice, "Weihe, what are you talking about? The Fang family has been kind to us." Du Weihe snorted coldly, "Yes, kind! Haven't I been repaying that kindness with my elder brother all along?" Du Fangliang replied, "You child..."

Du Fanghua indeed has a white car Shen Ningxia closed her eyes in despair and exhaustion

While they were speaking, two attendants serving them knocked on the door: "Miss Shen, Miss Su, are you ready? The photographer said we can start taking pictures."

She and he should not be together. If it were not for that earthquake, their lives would likely have been two parallel lines, occasionally glancing at each other, yet never intersecting.

Aunt, everyone has different pursuits, and one cannot force what cannot be obtained

Everything for the wedding is proceeding in an orderly manner

Shen Ningxia had not yet spoken, but he had already dejectedly said: "I hate business trips the most. Because of that, I won't be able to see you for several days." He sounded just like a child who couldn't get their beloved toy, sulking and complaining

Su Jiani still wore an expression of disbelief: "You... you are the young lady of the Fang family in this city?" Shen Ningxia calmly replied: "No, I take my mother's surname; I will always be Shen."

Du Weian introduced the two individuals: "Jiani, this is my younger brother, Du Weihe."

Rui Rui pouted on the side, clearly feeling jealous: "Daddy is biased, Daddy is bad, he gives all the good food to Sister Ningxia." Fang Liming laughed heartily: "Oh dear, I forgot about Rui Rui. It is indeed Daddy's fault. Come, Daddy will also serve you some." After saying this, he proceeded to serve Rui Rui some dishes in the same manner.

Du Fanghua sighed and shook her head: "You and your elder brother, if I hadn't witnessed your births with my own eyes, I would never believe you were born from the same mother. One is steady and mature, while the other is idle and carefree. It would be better if the two of you could find a balance between each other"

Time slips away little by little, and she can almost hear the ticking of every second

But what will happen to them in the future

On the other hand, Du Fanghua was deeply worried. One day, she arrived at the Du family home and said: "Sister, Wei An is dating her. Can you really feel at ease with that?"

Hearing such a reminder from someone, Shen Ningxia couldn't help but chuckle: "Yes, the work is never-ending." This obvious jest also made Du Weian laugh, and his low, mellow voice came through: "Be good, listen."

Fang Liming smiled: "I have realized. Love and happiness are the hardest things to disguise in the world. However, you must understand the feelings of a father... No matter who his daughter marries, he will always be worried."

Fang Liming stepped forward, still unable to believe it, and tremulously called out again: "Xiaxia?" He reached out his hand towards his daughter, wanting to touch her. However, after extending his hand, he became timid again, leaving it suspended in mid-air.

All the past is like a vine, tightly entwining the two. She and he cannot escape!

Shen Ningxia heard her voice hoarsely rise: "Grandma Sun, could it be that you are mistaken?" Grandma Sun replied: "No, I am not mistaken. We rarely see someone like her in our daily lives. By the way, I still remember she had a white car..."

Su Jiani suddenly remembered Shen Ningxia's message, which mentioned that Du Weian's younger brother would also come in the afternoon to try on the best man suit. An idea struck her, and she pointed at him and said: "You can't be Du Weian's younger brother, can you?"

Shen Ningxia said coldly: "It has nothing to do with you"

Du Fanghua must be suffering from paranoia! Shen Ningxia did not want to pay her any attention, turned around to return to her seat, but saw Granny Sun looking strangely in the direction of Du Fanghua, lost in thought. Shen Ningxia: "Granny Sun, what’s wrong?"

Shen Ningxia replied with a single word, "Good." Rui Rui came over and grabbed her hand. Shen Ningxia flinched as if electrocuted, pulling her hand back slightly, trying to avoid his touch. However, Rui Rui firmly held onto her, saying, "Sister Ningxia, come with me. The piano is over there."

"Not yet, still working overtime." "Stop working overtime, come home quickly. Don't let your stomach go hungry. The work is never-ending."

While the two were engaged in a verbal sparring match, the shop assistant approached and asked them to try on the dresses separately

Su Jiani chose a pearl gray off-shoulder long dress, which has a simple and elegant design. When she opened the door and walked out, even the sales assistant who helped her try on the clothes was astonished: "Miss Su, I didn't realize you had such a great figure"

Su Jiani made a face: "I laugh at my own. What do you care!" Du Wei looked her up and down, half-smiling, and said: "With your appearance, if you want me to care, I have no time for that."

It seemed as if a bomb had exploded in Shen Ningxia's mind, and she tightly grasped the back of the chair, as if this was the only way to prevent herself from falling into an abyss.

It is her! It is Du Fanghua. ... When grandmother saw Du Fanghua, she perhaps recalled certain matters, or perhaps remembered her own mother, Shen Huiyi, thus she recklessly crossed the street to catch up with her

Du Wei had already anticipated what she wanted to say, and with a lazy smile, he replied: "Aunt, why do you have to think so much? It's just that elder brother is in love with her and wants to get married. Even if it is a real marriage, who can predict what will happen in the future? These days, there are many people getting divorced. Besides, in such matters, men do not suffer any loss!"

However, after the disaster, everyone must continue to live

Du Fangliang made her a cup of wild chrysanthemum tea and said, "What is there to worry about? As long as Wian likes it and is happy, that is all that matters. Besides, we have watched Ningxia grow up since she was little, and I have always liked her." Du Fanghua stared at the wild chrysanthemums unfurling freely in the transparent cup, remaining silent for a while before finally speaking, "But her mother died because of me. How could she possibly forget that?"

After Shen Ningxia parted ways with Grandma Sun, she was unaware of how she returned home. She stood in the living room like a stone pillar until Du Weian embraced her from behind. His voice floated to her ears like smoke: "What’s wrong? Are you too tired?"

Fang Liming stood to the side, watching his pair of children by the piano, a smile of happiness and comfort on his face. He turned his head and glanced out the floor-to-ceiling window; the sky was a clear blue, with white clouds drifting lazily. It felt as if the days of these past years had been nothing but a dream

Du Fanghua shook her head and sighed: "I don't know which girl in the future will be able to settle you down!" Du Weihua threw his head back and laughed: "I guess she hasn't been born into this world yet!"

Shen Ningxia momentarily lost her breath. In the quiet of the deep night, she covered her mouth and silently shed tears.

If your grandmother were still alive, how happy she would be to see you get married

Isn't that the richest man in the city! Su Jiani looked up in astonishment, nearly swallowing her own tongue: "The richest man in the city, Fang Liming?" Shen Ningxia, feeling guilty, dared not look at her face: "There is a long, long story behind this... Actually, it's quite short, like many stories of wealthy men. He succeeded, there was a third party, and then my mother and I left home... That's all there is to it."

It is Du Fanghua! The faint touch of tenderness on Shen Ningxia's face instantly vanished. She stopped in her tracks, not looking back

Shen Ningxia was surprised to find that he played exceptionally well

Shen Ningxia occasionally thinks about this question, but she always chooses to skip it, refusing to let herself think any deeper. She smiles wryly, for in truth, she is an ostrich, completely afraid to contemplate the future.

During the bath, Shen Ningxia stood quietly under the shower, allowing the water to cascade over her head. On the bathroom shelf, there were towels belonging to both him and her. In the rinsing cup, a white and a blue toothbrush were crossed together. His razor, her comb, his facial cleanser, her skincare products, all neatly arranged together, indistinguishable from one another.

In the spacious and luxurious dressing room, Su Jiani adjusted the veil for Shen Ningxia. Looking at the beautiful figures of the two in the mirror, she reluctantly said: "Ningxia, I didn't expect you to get married so soon..."

Du Fanghua advised, "While having fun is important, safety must be prioritized. Remember: never drive after drinking." Du Wei responded, "Understood, you can rest assured, Auntie. I will be more cautious than anyone else; I want to enjoy life for several more decades!"

She opened the cabinet, and half of the clothes inside belonged to Du Weian. She slowly bent down and picked up the stack of clothes. There was Du Weian's scent on them

Du Fangliang patted his sister's hand to offer comfort: "Weian and they have gotten married, and from now on, we will all be one family. As long as you treat her sincerely and genuinely atone for your mistakes, Ningxia will eventually forgive you."

Love and happiness are the most difficult things to disguise in the world! Du Weian has come to realize that Fang Liming's success is certainly not just a matter of opportunity and chance. Fang Liming smiles wryly: "Weian, I too have been young, loved, and been happy." Indeed, who hasn't gone through such experiences?

Perhaps it was because she became aware of Rui Rui's abnormality that Ning Xia's hostility diminished significantly, and even her tone unconsciously softened: "Really?" "Sister Ning Xia, do you want to hear it? I will play it right now."

"What a pity, atonement. Atoning for what sin? What wrong has my aunt done?" Du Wei and the dissatisfied voice sounded behind the two, "Her mother couldn't cope, it was her mother's psychological resilience that was too weak. In this world, the weak are prey to the strong, and only the fittest survive"

Shen Ningxia calmly retorted to her, "Why is it impossible for me to like Du Weian?" Du Fanghua quietly stated a fact, "Because you hate me, and you hate our Du family"

As the car came to a stop outside the lawn, Du Weian noticed the panic and evasion deep in Ningxia's eyes. He held her hand tightly and said, "Ningxia, we will have to face it sooner or later. Let's face it together, shall we?" Shen Ningxia slowly nodded

In the previous minute, Shen Ningxia was still contemplating breaking up with him. After hearing Du Weian's infatuated words, she felt as if her heart had been pierced by a sharp needle, leaving her momentarily speechless from the pain. After a brief pause, she finally managed to respond with a soft "mm." Du Weian's voice was also cautious and gentle: "Do you know what I hate the most right now?"

Our family hasn't held a joyous occasion for many years. This time, we must make it lively and festive. Let Old Cai and Old Zeng's group be envious!

Everyone was chatting casually in the living room. Du Fanghua was the first to notice; she stood up, just about to greet Du Wei'an with a smile: "Wei'an, you are here..." But that smile froze as soon as it appeared, for she saw Shen Ningxia entering hand in hand with Du Wei'an.

The night gradually deepened, and the seafood fried rice placed on the dining table had long since cooled. Shen Ningxia stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the inky darkness of the night.

This is Du Fanghua's son. It is said that over the years, Du Fanghua has protected him very well, never allowing him to appear in any public setting, and even the all-seeing media has not captured a single photograph of him. Shen Ningxia couldn't help but scrutinize him a few times.

Thereafter, Shen Ningxia left without looking back

Du Fanghua: "Don't pretend to be foolish. Let's get straight to the point. I know you could never possibly like Wei An."

The warmth on my forehead gradually faded as his silhouette disappeared into the air

Life is short, and joy is too scarce. Sometimes, a moment of happiness is just a moment.

Alternatively, if she had left just one day earlier, everything would have been different

Du Wei angrily asked, "Hey, what are you laughing at?"

Du Weian kissed her forehead, and as they said goodbye, he said: "Ningxia, starting tomorrow, we will never be apart again." That night, Du Weian returned to the Du family according to the marriage customs of the Seven Islands.

While speaking, Shen Ningxia looked up and saw Du Fanghua entering with a female friend. Du Fanghua clearly noticed her as well. Seeing Du Fanghua approaching her, it was evident that she had something to say. Shen Ningxia leaned slightly towards Granny Sun and said, "Granny Sun, please take your time looking at the photos. I have encountered an acquaintance and will go greet her"

What a narrow path for enemies! Fortunately, at this moment, Du Weian and Shen Ningxia arrived hand in hand

Shen Ningxia felt a sweet suffocation in her heart, wanting to smile, yet tears fell instead... She held her phone, listening to it over and over again... A person in the back seat was in tears.

Du Wei pretended to be profound: "Because I have experienced a lot!"

On this day, he personally cooked a full table of dishes for his daughter. He personally picked up a piece of crab meat for her: "Dad remembers that you used to love the crab I cooked the most. Why don't you give it a try and see if Dad's skills have declined?"

In that case, why not make her even more upset! Shen Ningxia stepped forward and whispered in her ear: "Du Fanghua, just you wait. Everything you owe me, I will collect back." After saying this, she turned around, "If I had known that being with Du Weian would make you this anxious, I should have gotten together with him sooner. Do you know? Seeing you in such a helpless state makes this game particularly enjoyable."

It was a call from Du Weian. She lied, saying, "I just got out of the shower, I didn't hear it." Du Weian, without suspicion, recounted her day over the phone: "I just arrived at the hotel. I had a meeting with Jiang Zhengnan all day today. This guy has been acting strangely lately, working like crazy, putting in twenty hours a day..."

Fang Liming was quite anxious about his daughter, who had been lost and then found. Upon hearing this, he fell into deep thought: "I see, then let's listen to Xiaxia. We should try to keep the festivities within a small circle."

In fact, Fang Liming is my biological father, the very same Fang Liming who donated the building to our school

At this moment, Shen Ningxia had already sensed something was amiss with Rui Rui. She raised her eyes to look at Du Weian, only to see him pursing his lips and revealing a faint bitter smile. Shen Ningxia's speculation was confirmed, and her heart was filled with shock. How could this be? How could Du Fanghua's son be a fool!

How can you finally let go of Wei An? State your conditions, and I will agree to them all

It is said that people in love, even if they are in a long-distance relationship, stay in touch every moment. Shen Ningxia had no experience and did not know if this was true. However, no matter where Du Weian went on business trips, he would always call her whenever he had a moment: "Have you had dinner?"

Fang Zhirui said in a childish voice beside her: "Sister, my name is Fang Ruirui, and I am also called Fang Ningrui. What is your name?" "My name is Ningxia." "Great! Both our names have the character 'Ning' which means summer in them."

In an instant, everyone wore a look of astonishment, and the large Fang family living room was filled with a palpable silence.

Until this moment, Fang Liming finally believed that his daughter Ningxia was truly standing in front of him. He held his son's hand and said excitedly: "Rui Rui, this is your sister. Be good, quickly call her sister."

Hello, sister. Rui Rui is very obedient and calls out immediately.

Shen Ningxia could only follow him to the piano. Rui Rui sat down in front of the piano and lifted the lid.

"Why should I let him go? Then who will let my mother go?" After these words slipped out, Shen Ningxia was taken aback herself

Shen Ningxia felt a surge of anger in her heart, snorted coldly, and blurted out: "Set a condition? Du Fanghua, if my condition is for you to die, would you die?" Du Fanghua was taken aback by her words, staring wide-eyed for a long time before managing to utter a single word: "You."

Grandma Sun's face turned an unusual pale: "Ningxia, I find this person very familiar." Shen Ningxia did not pay much attention at the moment: "Familiar?"

Under the streetlight, only Du Fanghua, with a pale and ashen face, remained

Du Fanghua hesitated to speak: "I am worried about... sigh, never mind. It is of no use to say more now. The matter of Wei An's marriage has already been settled."

"You child, why do you always speak in such an old-fashioned manner?" Although some of Wei He’s words were somewhat fallacious, Du Fanghua found them to have a certain degree of validity.

The appearance of Du Fanghua cruelly reminded her that there was no future for her and Du Weian

Du Fanghua's elegant facade could no longer be maintained, and she was filled with uncontrollable anger: "You!" Du Fanghua was surprisingly unable to keep her composure, and the pent-up frustration that had lingered in Shen Ningxia's heart for many years seemed to have eased somewhat.

After getting in the car, Du Wei smiled and said, "Aunt, you have something to say."

Even if one is willing to act like an ostrich and avoid thinking too much, there are some matters that ultimately cannot be circumvented

The road ahead may be fraught with thorns, but it may also lead to happiness

Du Fanghua walked slowly to her back and said word by word: "You should know very well why I am looking for you." Shen Ningxia gradually turned around, her gaze coldly fixed on Du Fanghua, remaining silent.

Du Fanghua: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Wei An?" Shen Ningxia scoffed, provocatively bowing to her in a gentlemanly social gesture: "Please do make sure to tell him. However, I wonder if he will believe you"

Du Weian held her hand and pushed open the large door

"Alright, I will make some modifications to this design draft before going to eat," Du Weian said. "Take it home to revise. Remember to eat your meal for sure." He had an attitude that he would not relent unless his words were heeded. He was very firm and unwavering when it came to matters of principle. Shen Ningxia, feeling helpless, had no choice but to agree.

This is Shen Ningxia's most genuine feeling after the earthquake disaster. She feels that each day is an extra blessing for her and Du Weian. She only wants to cherish every single today with Du Weian

Du Wei and: "One should not waste their youth without indulging in romance. Moreover, one only lives this life once; if one does not enjoy it properly, then what a waste of this journey."

He looked intently into Fang Liming's eyes and said, "Mr. Fang, I love Ningxia!"

A child with delicate features and bright eyes, smiling sweetly, is hard to dislike. Shen Ningxia opened her mouth, only to feel a dryness in her throat, as if something had happened, blocking her. She coughed lightly and cleared her throat: "Hello"

The wedding photos were developed, and they were stunningly beautiful. That day, Shen Ningxia happened to have an appointment to meet with Grandma Sun, so she brought the photos to show her.

Grandma Sun was immensely gratified, looking around and admiring it, unable to put it down: "Good, it is truly wonderful. You have found such a good husband in Mr. Du, Grandma Sun, I am really happy for you"

Shen Ningxia felt a sudden tug in her heart, overwhelmed by a deep sense of sorrow

Du Fanghua stood up to mediate the situation: "Alright, alright, I need to head back. Weihe, please give my aunt a ride today since she didn't drive herself."

Will they really have a future?

She stood before the dust-laden ruins, believing that her heart had been wrenched with pain at the moment of his demise. Even though much time had passed, the memory remained vividly clear. In that moment, as she repeatedly clawed at the debris with her bare hands, she saw her own heart with unprecedented clarity.

"Do you remember, on the day your grandmother had the accident, I told you that she saw someone and then chased after them... it was her." Grandma Sun was extremely agitated, pointing at the back of Du Fanghua as she turned to leave, "It was her, without a doubt!"

Even Du Wei, who prided himself on having encountered countless women, was taken aback, swallowing hard and thinking to himself: "Hmph. I didn't expect this woman to be so deep and inscrutable."

Du Weian said: "Mr. Fang, if it is for the sake of gratitude, I would be more than willing to sell myself to the Fang family for a lifetime, without having to sacrifice my marriage and my lifelong happiness."

Su Jiani crouched down to adjust the hem of her wedding dress that was dragging on the floor, casually uttering a sound of acknowledgment

Shen Ningxia bit her lip, trying to pull back. Du Weian held her hand firmly, encouraging her: "Ningxia, we agreed on this."

Shen Ningxia: "Thank you, Rui Rui. However, I can't eat two chicken legs. Please help me eat one." Rui Rui nodded: "Alright, then I will help you eat one."

But in fact, it still happened

Now she is Mrs. Fang, with a strong backing behind her, and indeed speaks with great confidence. In the past, she, Du Fanghua, stood before her mother, Shen Huiyi, feeling timid, unsure of where to place her hands, and not daring to lift her head casually.

Du Fangliang fell silent. After a long while, she sighed and said, "That incident, no one wanted it to happen."

Have you seen your elder brother these days

Rui Rui smiled contentedly and said, "Dad, this is too much, do you want to make me burst and then have another little Rui Rui?" Everyone couldn't help but laugh, even Du Fanghua, who had been on edge, worried that Shen Ningxia might trouble her at any moment, showed a smile. Fang Liming ruffled Rui Rui's hair and said, "How could Dad bear to make our Rui Rui burst? Dad, the most precious sister is with our Rui Rui."

Shen Ningxia quietly took a bite and softly said the words "delicious". Fang Liming, as if a graduate had just passed the final interview, immediately let out a sigh of relief and smiled, saying: "I haven't been in the kitchen for so many years, but thankfully I haven't forgotten everything." He then filled a plate with dishes for Shen Ningxia, saying: "Here, try this as well."

His fingers glided slowly over the piano keys, resembling a butterfly gathering nectar or a dragonfly skimming the water, as music flowed like a stream from his fingertips. A clean, smooth, and enchanting piece titled "Ningxia" began to dance in the air. Rui Rui played with great seriousness, his head swaying with the music, and the expression on his face was warm and captivating, completely immersed in the experience

Shen Ningxia wanted to smile, but she couldn't lift the heavy corners of her mouth. She softly said, "There are only five days left until he returns." Du Weian was filled with resentment: "Do you know how long five days is? I calculated it; five days is 120 hours, 7200 minutes, and 432000 seconds"

After getting off the car, she found a shop and packed a portion of seafood fried rice. The fragrant aroma of the fried rice brought Du Weiyan's face to her mind. He truly was a man of many talents, a model boyfriend who excelled in all aspects. He was skilled in laundry, cooking, and cleaning, with no task he could not master. During his studies, he also performed exceptionally well. It is said that in recent years, under the deliberate cultivation of a certain individual, he has become a prominent figure in the business world.

Su Jiani was taken aback: "What do you mean?" Du Wei shrugged his shoulders: "I have no intention at all."

On this day, while waiting for Shen Ningxia at the bridal shop, Su Jiani, who bore the important responsibility of being a bridesmaid, was playing with her phone out of boredom. Upon noticing someone sitting across from her, she lifted her head. To her surprise, both of them were startled as she exclaimed, "It's you?"

Shen Ningxia indeed smiled, candidly admitting: "Indeed, I hate you. I wish I could peel your skin and eat your flesh!" Such unabashedness made Du Fanghua's expression quite unpleasant: "Since that is the case, why do you need to provoke Wei An? There are not only men like Wei An in this world."

The night is dark and long

The bustling streets, the cars whizzing by from time to time, and the calls of the modestly dressed vendors all brought a vibrant and lively atmosphere to the forefront. She couldn't help but recall the familiar night market. It had been a long time since she last visited, and she thought to take some time to see her old neighbors, Sister Liu and the others.

That night, Shen Ningxia tossed and turned, unable to sleep. As it approached midnight, Du Weian sent her a WeChat message: "Are you asleep yet?" He must have been busy until now. Shen Ningxia replied: "Not yet."

Shen Ningxia curled up on the sofa in the living room, hugging her knees, her entire body feeling icy cold. For the first time, she wished that the night would never end, that it could just continue to grow deeper and darker!

Du Weihua. United Nations Peacekeeping Forces. It reminds her of a joke she made with Shen Ningxia a long time ago. Su Jiani's beautiful almond-shaped eyes rolled around, and she exchanged glances with Shen Ningxia, understanding each other and laughing: "Wow, he actually has a younger brother named Du Weihua! Haha"

Shen Ningxia said, "Then get some rest early." Du Weian responded with a sound, suddenly lowering his voice to a whisper, "I miss you, have you thought of me?"

Shen Ningxia was touched by this statement, and she suddenly felt a sting in her eyes. She lowered her gaze discreetly to eat. Rui Rui picked up a chicken leg and offered it to Ningxia: "Sister, Dad said you like chicken legs. Here, I'll give you mine too."

In the taxi, she discovered an unread WeChat message on her phone and opened it. Du Weian's voice came through the headphones, singing a song titled "Ten Years." He had recorded a full sixty seconds for her. He also said, "From now on, whenever you have trouble sleeping, just listen to this lullaby."

The man replied irritably, "Indeed, I am his genuine brother—Du Weihua." He looked her up and down and asked, "You wouldn't be the bridesmaid, would you?" Not wanting to lose face, Su Jiani straightened her back and said, "Indeed. I am that bridesmaid"

Du Weian: "Mr. Fang..." However, Fang Liming interrupted him with a smile, saying, "You still call me Mr. Fang. My precious daughter has already accepted your marriage proposal."

Shen Ningxia turned her head and said, "If what you want to say is these words, I apologize, but I have something to attend to, please excuse me"

For Du Weian and Ningxia, this pair of golden boy and jade girl, Fang Liming naturally grew more and more satisfied the more he looked at them

"Sister Ningxia, I know there is a song called 'Ningxia'. I can play it." Fang Ningrui tilted his head and smiled at her, unabashedly expressing his affection for her

Fang Liming looked up and happened to see the frozen smile on Du Fanghua's face

As Shen Ningxia boarded the bus home, the entire Qidao was already illuminated. Through the gray, misty glass, Shen Ningxia quietly admired the beautiful night scene of the city, feeling a profound sense of tranquility and peace within, without a trace of worry.

After dinner, he seriously called Du Weian to the study: "Weian, answer me a question." Du Weian remained respectful: "Mr. Fang, please ask. I will speak without reservation and express everything without holding back."

When she woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. Shen Ningxia suddenly threw off the covers and, upon checking the time, realized it was not good. She hurriedly washed up and rushed to work. There was no time to take the bus, so Shen Ningxia indulged herself by calling a taxi.

It turned out to be that shameless man who had fought with her over the magazine that day. Today, seeing him dressed so dapper, Su Jiani couldn't help but recall a few idioms such as "debonair and suave" and "like a jade tree standing in the wind." Su Jiani felt that it must be because she had played games for too long just now, causing her eyes to blur and her mind to short-circuit.

Du Fanghua scrutinized Shen Ningxia with suspicion and bluntly stated: "I still don't believe that you would marry our Wei'an." Shen Ningxia replied indifferently: "Whether you believe it or not has nothing to do with me"

Fang Liming slowly turned his head and saw his longed-for daughter, who was now standing lively in front of him. Fang Liming suddenly stood up, both surprised and delighted, trembling his lips: "Xia Xia?"

Shen Ningxia looked at his hand around her. The sunset faintly peeked in from the window, casting a subtle reflection on the bright floor.

Shen Ningxia wore a floor-length wedding dress with a V-neck style, featuring a champagne-colored satin ribbon at the waist and a skirt adorned with intricate layers of lace. This was personally selected for her by Du Weian. Once Shen Ningxia tried it on, he could not take his eyes off it: "This one."

Her aunt Du Fanghua shattered her family, took away her father, and caused her mother to commit suicide. Now, she has come to realize that Du Fanghua is also the culprit behind her grandmother's death

Du Weian's phone call came through immediately. Shen Ningxia answered, and she could hear a soft singing voice on the other end: "If there are no expectations for tomorrow, holding hands is like traveling, with thousands of doorways, someone must go first... Ten years ago, I did not know you, you did not belong to me, we were still the same, accompanying a stranger... walking through the gradually familiar streets... Ten years ago, I did not know you, you did not belong to me, we were still the same, accompanying a stranger... walking through the gradually familiar streets..."

Shen Ningxia turned her head and held Su Jiani's hand, her expression gentle: "Jiani, I never expected that in this lifetime I would also enter into marriage." She had never even thought that she would marry Du Weian. She paused, hesitating to speak, "Jiani, there is one more thing I want to tell you..."

Dad, Ningxia does not like overly extravagant weddings. If it weren't for your desire to organize the wedding, Ningxia would prefer to have a destination wedding instead.

How wonderful it would be if he were not a member of the Du family, or if she were not Shen Ningxia

Su Jiani had actually accompanied Shen Ningxia to the bridal shop many times, but she usually wore sweet-style clothing. However, this floor-length gown, with its strapless design, perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure. With every movement, her bosom surged dramatically, exuding a myriad of charms

Du Fanghua chuckled: "You certainly have a belly full of fallacies, no one can argue with you!"

If there are no expectations for tomorrow, holding hands is like traveling; with thousands of doorways, there will always be someone who must go first

Du Fanghua smiled and said, "Have you been dating a few girlfriends recently?"

However, there are no ifs; they simply ended up together

Therefore, both her father and I will treat her twice as well. We will regard her as our own daughter and cherish her dearly

At this moment, a person got out of a black luxury car parked by the roadside and called out to her: "Shen Ningxia."

Shen Ningxia did not know how long she had continued like this. Until the phone rang and then fell silent, only to ring again and fall silent once more.

Eason Chan's "Ten Years"

She later fell into a deep sleep, unaware of how many times he sang from the other end

Since I have encountered you here today, I would like to clarify something. Shen Ningxia, Wei An is wholeheartedly determined to marry you and to treat you well. I am his aunt, and I hope he can be happy. Therefore, I will not act like the stepmother in television dramas, scheming against you to cause your separation. But if..." At this point, Du Fanghua's gaze and voice became sharp, "If you seek revenge, then direct it solely at me; do not harm our Wei An! He has done nothing wrong... If you dare to hurt Wei An, I will not let this go.

Everyone in the room was well aware of the past, and as they watched this scene, their hearts were filled with mixed emotions. Only Fang Ningrui, unaware of what had transpired, jumped forward and asked: "Brother Wei'an, who is she?"

She is reluctant to part with Du Weian. In this lifetime, she will never find another Du Weian again

Du Fanghua seemed to have grasped something, her finely shaped and beautiful eyebrows raised knowingly: "I was right after all. You are trying to take revenge on me by playing tricks with Wei An." Shen Ningxia's gaze, sharp as a sword, was fixed firmly on her, yet she remained silent. Du Fanghua was equally unyielding, returning her gaze.

How could you marry someone from the Du family if you hate us so much

In this lifetime, if one cannot even grasp today properly, how can one plan for tomorrow's affairs? Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, what will happen, who can know!
