On the day of breaking off the engagement, I got married to my ex-uncle

Chu Xixi stood at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the huge white wedding ring slipped from her hand. The crisp sound of the ring seemed to hit everyone's heart. The air was filled with embarrassment and sympathy. The crowd of onlookers whispered to each other, but Huo Hangfan could not find any words to explain.

"Chu Xixi--" Huo Hangfan opened his mouth but was interrupted by Chu Xixi's cold eyes.

"Zhao Xueer is doing well, congratulations." There was no tremor in her voice, and her forced calmness could not hide the huge waves in her heart.

She turned around, her high heels stepped steadily and powerfully on the stone road, and every step seemed to hit Huo Hangfan's heart hard. In full view of everyone, she looked up and saw a luxury car parked on the sidewalk. The window slowly lowered, revealing the familiar and indifferent face - Xu Yuanmo.

"Get in the car." There was no hesitation in his voice, only unquestionable orders.

Chu Xixi didn't hesitate, she went forward, opened the door and got in. The moment the car started, all the whispers and ridicules were left behind. Her heartbeat was rapidly slowing down, while Huo Hangfan watched the car go away, his face pale.

"Do you know who I am?" Xu Yuanmo stared at her, with a hint of teasing in his voice.

"I don't know," she turned to look at the passing scenery outside the window, with a hint of relief in her tone, "but today, you are my salvation."

Their conversation was brief and profound, requiring no further foreshadowing, they just appeared in each other's lives at the right time.

The atmosphere in the car was subtle. Xu Yuanmo stared at her intently. There was no longer the sharpness between her brows as before. Instead, there was a kind of calmness after being betrayed.

"Where to?" she asked suddenly calmly.

"Let's go to a place without a past," Xu Yuanmo smiled and turned a corner, "to build a future that belongs to us."

At that moment, Chu Xixi's heart flashed with a complex emotion, and she looked at his profile as he focused on driving, her thoughts flying. This man, like a breeze, quietly blew into her life, but suddenly like a storm, dragged her into this unexpected flash marriage.

The red light at the intersection came on, and the car slowly stopped. Chu Xixi's heart seemed to be rekindled, and the unrestrained flame spread in her chest. At this moment, she returned to the intersection full of unknowns. No one knew what the world would be like in the next second.

In the prosperous Jincheng, Chu Xixi is busy with her design studio. With clients one after another, she gradually emerged as a rising star in the industry with her infinite love for design and outstanding talent. However, one day, a sudden phone call disrupted her originally peaceful life.

On the other end of the phone was Zhao Xueer, her college classmate whom she had always looked down upon. Her tone seemed to be pleading: "Xixi, help me this time. You know that the project I designed recently encountered a big problem. I really don't know what to do."

Chu Xixi frowned and instinctively wanted to refuse, but thinking of Zhao Xueer's past in college, she sighed, "Send me the information and I'll take a look."

Chu Xixi hung up the phone, feeling mixed emotions. She and Zhao Xueer had always had a bad relationship. When they were in college, Zhao Xueer always looked for opportunities to do mean things to her. Now, time has taught her to be tolerant, and it has also allowed her to focus more on her career, and no longer worry about those trivial matters.

Just as Chu Xixi finished processing the documents sent by Zhao Xueer and was about to organize her thoughts, Xu Yuanmo suddenly walked into the studio. His appearance was always so abrupt, but also brought a bit of surprise. "Mo, why are you here?"

Xu Yuanmo raised a faint smile, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. "I came to have dinner with you, and by the way, I came to see how you are doing recently."

Chu Xixi's heart was slightly moved. Xu Yuanmo always appeared when she needed comfort the most. She shook her head, "Not now. I have a lot of design drafts to deal with."

Xu Yuanmo picked up a design drawing on the table and asked, "Is this Zhao Xueer's project? Why is she bothering you again?" His tone was displeased, and it was obvious that he had no good feelings towards Zhao Xueer.

Chu Xixi forced a smile and said, "Since you've agreed, I have to help you to the end."

At this moment, Zhao Xueer's phone rang again. Chu Xixi pressed the answer button, only to hear the other party gasping and saying, "Xixi, I'm sorry, I may have made things worse. Can you come over now?"

The urgent voice from the other end of the phone made Chu Xixi's heart tighten. After she hung up the phone, she said to Xu Yuanmo: "Mo, I'm sorry, I have to go to the scene."

Xu Yuanmo frowned, but still nodded, "I'll go too." His tone left no room for doubt.

After the two hurriedly prepared, they went to the project site that Zhao Xueer mentioned. Chu Xixi did not expect that this crisis would be a major turning point in the relationship between her and Xu Yuanmo. The car accelerated in the night, and Chu Xixi's mood was extremely complicated. She didn't know what kind of situation would be waiting for her.

Chu Xixi stood at the door of the marriage registration hall, holding tightly in her hand the shining ring that she never wanted to wear again. Her heart was like being trampled by 100,000 grass mud horses, a mess. She had just witnessed her fiancé Huo Hangfan and the white lotus Zhao Xueer whispering and flirting with each other. This scene, without any words to embellish it, was enough to make the hope in her heart vanish.

"Chu Xixi, what are you doing here?" A familiar voice broke Chu Xixi's thoughts.

Qin Shiyu, as always, was wearing her favorite worn-out denim jacket, with messy short hair as if she had just crawled out of bed. She frowned, obviously puzzled by Chu Xixi's appearance.

"Shi Yu, let's go." Chu Xixi forced a smile even though her heart was broken. "There's nothing to see here. I have more important things to do."

"Wait, are you planning to call off the engagement?" Qin Shiyu hesitated, then patted her shoulder. "Don't tell me, is it because that gigolo cheated on you?"

Chu Xixi looked around, and sure enough, in the busy Civil Affairs Bureau, many curious eyes were cast towards the two of them. "Yes, Shi Yu. I don't want to talk about all this anymore. I want to start a new life."

"Well, let's cancel the engagement and do something crazy now, how about that?" Qin Shiyu's eyes lit up and he had a sly smile on his face.

Suddenly, a familiar silhouette came into Chu Xixi's sight, and her heart could not help but surge. Xu Yuanmo, the president of CR Group, the man who had inadvertently helped her in the hospital. He was standing not far away, with an unpredictable light flashing in his indifferent eyes.

When he saw Chu Xixi, he raised his eyebrows slightly and walked over in a casual manner.

"Miss, you seem to have encountered some trouble?" Xu Yuanmo's tone was free of emotion, as if he was just being polite.

"No, Mr. Yuanmo. I'm fine." Chu Xixi pursed her lips, secretly reminding herself not to easily fall in love with this man.

"Hey, look at what I'm saying." Qin Shiyu looked at Xu Yuanmo inadvertently, "But seriously, how can I be worthy of myself if I don't make some big news on a day like this?"

"Then what do you mean?" Xu Yuanmo smiled slightly and looked at Chu Xixi meaningfully.

"Why, do you have a better suggestion?" Chu Xixi's heart began to beat faster involuntarily. The moment when she met him unexpectedly flashed through her mind. His indifferent expression was as warm as a spring breeze.

Xu Yuanmo sighed softly and suddenly took out a box. He opened the box and found a dazzling diamond ring inside, which shone brightly in the sun.

"Come on, promise me and marry me." Xu Yuanmo's sudden proposal made the whole scene seem frozen.

Chu Xixi's eyes widened, and she seemed to be nailed to the spot...

At this critical juncture, everything seemed to be thrown into even greater chaos.

That morning, Chu Xixi came to the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau, holding the future of the two of them in her hands - an exquisite wedding ring. However, it seemed as if God was playing a big joke on her, and the stars she had planned to wish for fell from the sky and shattered in the cold reality.

The night before she was about to go on a date, the message sent by Zhao Xueer slid into her life like a snake. On the other end of the message, the erotic chat records between Huo Hangfan and Zhao Xueer destroyed all her sense of security like an atomic bomb explosion.

Chu Xixi threw down her wedding ring, which drew a few cold arcs on the floor tiles before stopping in front of a pair of shiny black leather shoes. She looked up and saw the pair of eyes that she thought were gentle and unfathomable - Xu Yuanmo.

"Chu Xixi, are you okay?" Xu Yuanmo asked softly. His cold voice was filled with a hint of nervousness that he had never felt before.

"Not bad." She smiled, but it looked so pale and weak.

"This..." He squatted down and gently picked up the ring that witnessed sorrow and joy. His long fingers were strong, but his movements were extremely cautious.

"You don't need it anymore, do you?" he asked, his voice calm but with some power in it.

She looked at the ring, which shone coldly in his hand, just like her heart at the moment, which was wrapped in coldness. Turning around, she resolutely decided to end this unhappy engagement and left the place that was originally full of dreams.

It didn't take long for her to regret it. Not only because she missed her past relationship, but also because she was in deep trouble now - the crisis of the studio, the doubts of her good friend Qin Shiyu, and even the hope she left for the children in the orphanage seemed to be shaken.

In the studio, Cheng Yaoyao's voice sounded unusually harsh at this moment.

"Oh my, what happened to our undefeated general of the designer competition? Did you lose your fighting spirit after your breakup?"

Chu Xixi tightly grasped the paintbrush, her hands trembling slightly. However, she responded to Cheng Yaoyao with a firmness and calmness she had never had before.

"Ms. Cheng, the outcome is still unknown, you are celebrating too early."

However, a bigger storm was quietly brewing in the midst of this competition. Song Yian's arrival made the atmosphere in the entire studio tense. He stood in front of Chu Xixi and greeted her gaze with a seemingly harmless yet sharp smile.

"Ms. Chu Xixi, are you prepared for Huo Hangfan's defeat?" His voice was gentle.
