On the day of breaking off the engagement, I got married to my ex-uncle
Chapter 114 A Little Joke
Chu Xixi stood in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, looking a little lonely on the wide steps. The morning sun shone through the gaps in the poplar trees, dappling on her body, as if wrapping the girl in a halo. She held tightly in her hand an exquisite diamond ring, which was once the proof of her expectation to enter the marriage hall with her ex. But now, the ring was so heavy that it seemed to bend her back and darken her mood.
"Xixi, are you sure you want to do this?" Qin Shiyu looked at her worriedly, with reluctance and support hidden in his voice.
Chu Xixi smiled, trying to make herself look more determined, "Shi Yu, thank you for your continued support, but I cannot deceive my own heart." The determination in her eyes was like the brightest stars in the night sky, not allowing any confusion or hesitation to erode her.
"In that case, I will support you." Qin Shiyu held her hand tightly, and that determination gave Chu Xixi endless courage.
Just as Chu Xixi was about to move forward, her sharp eyes were suddenly attracted by a tall figure. The man was dressed in a dark blue suit, with a strong aura, like the calm before the storm. He was leisurely and contented, as if he was not affected by the hustle and bustle around him.
"Xu Yuanmo?" Chu Xixi's heart moved slightly. She didn't expect to meet this man under such circumstances.
"What? Have you changed your mind?" Xu Yuanmo opened his red lips slightly, his voice low and full of charm.
"Are you laughing at me?" Chu Xixi bit her lip, trying to make herself look less embarrassed.
"How dare I?" Xu Yuanmo approached, trapping her between himself and the white pillar. "Do you need someone more reliable to accompany you in?"
Chu Xixi's heart was pounding. Xu Yuanmo's aura was like an irresistible magic that made her heart beat but also afraid. She wanted to escape, but she couldn't escape the shadow of this man. She took a deep breath and was about to refuse.
Suddenly, a woman dressed in fancy clothes squeezed over and stared at Chu Xixi with unfriendly eyes, "Boss Xu, why are you here? And you are still entangled with this kind of woman."
Xu Yuanmo frowned, his cold eyes easily froze the woman. "This kind of woman?" His tone suddenly changed, and his cold aura made people shudder. "She is my fiancée."
The scene was quiet for a while, and all eyes were focused on the three of them. It was the prelude to another storm. Chu Xixi widened her eyes, totally unable to believe what she had just heard. Qin Shiyu was also stunned, with a hint of teasing in his surprise.
Then, Xu Yuanmo gently held Chu Xixi's hand and dragged her into the Civil Affairs Bureau, leaving behind an uproar and the woman's angry screams.
"Wait, Xu Yuanmo, what do you mean?" Chu Xixi looked for the answer in panic. Her life seemed to be about to usher in an unknown adventure.
In the busiest neighborhood of Jincheng, there is a design studio that attracts a lot of attention. The exterior of the studio is dominated by a simple yet elegant white tone. Walking into the exhibition hall, you will be amazed by the various exquisite and unique design works. This is the territory of Chu Xixi, a talented young designer, a perfect fusion of successor and innovator.
However, at this moment, Chu Xixi was sitting in her office, staring at the computer screen in a daze. Her eyes were in a mess - tomorrow was the day she and Huo Hangfan would get their marriage certificate, a day that should have been full of laughter and blessings, but because of an unexpected piece of news, it became dim.
"Xixi, are you really going to marry that gigolo?" The door was pushed open, and Qin Shiyu walked in with a joking look on his face.
Chu Xixi did not answer immediately, but quietly looked at the bustling city outside the window and sighed deeply. "Shi Yu, do you think I am crazy?"
Qin Shiyu walked over, sat next to her, and patted her shoulder. "It's okay, Xixi, I'm always here with you. No matter what, I will go with you tomorrow."
Just as the two were about to have a deep conversation, Chu Xixi's phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number. She hesitated for a moment, then finally answered.
A girl's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone, "Chu Xixi? I'm Zhao Xueer."
Chu Xixi frowned. Why did Zhao Xueer, a girl she had been at odds with since college, suddenly contact her? Could it be...
"I know you're going to get your marriage certificate with Hangfan tomorrow, but I think, as your 'friend', there are some things you should know." There was a hint of teasing in Zhao Xueer's voice.
Chu Xixi held the phone tightly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Zhao Xueer sneered and said, "Huo Hangfan, he..."
Chu Xixi's heart sank suddenly, and it felt like the air had frozen.
In this depressing silence, Qin Shiyu held Chu Xixi's hand tightly, as if in this cold city, only their body temperature could remind each other that not all stories have perfect endings, but they can still face them.
"He's with me."
Zhao Xueer's voice on the other end of the phone was like a bolt of lightning, striking Chu Xixi's most vulnerable heart.
Chu Xixi's body stiffened and her breathing became rapid. At this moment, the office door was gently pushed open again, and a figure appeared silently at the door. His appearance would be another major turning point in Chu Xixi's life.
Chu Xixi stood at the entrance of the noisy Civil Affairs Bureau, her fingertips sliding across the wedding ring that once symbolized happiness. Her expression was like the clear sky after a storm, bright but resolute. She raised her hand, the ring refracted a brilliant light in the sun, and then she threw it hard to the ground. The sound of metal collision was particularly clear in the surprise of the crowd.
"Good show, didn't you say we have to wait until tomorrow?" Huo Hangfan's sarcastic voice came from behind, but Chu Xixi simply chose to ignore it. She turned around, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
"Huo Hangfan, I can only say that the green hat you are wearing really suits you." Her voice was not loud, but it was sharp enough to pierce through the hypocritical appearance.
At this time, Xu Yuanmo arrived late. His appearance made the air around them seem to be a little quieter. His eyes were fixed directly on Chu Xixi, and his deep affection could not be hidden.
"How about we go see the scenery hand in hand now?" Xu Yuanmo opened his lips slightly, his words carrying an overbearing tone that could not be refused.
Chu Xixi's heart tightened. This man was like a torrent, easily breaking through her defenses. She was used to being alone, but at this moment, she couldn't help but waver.
She sighed softly and looked up at him: "Then... give it a try."
After that, she took the corner of the clothes handed to her by Xu Yuanmo, and the two of them left the Civil Affairs Bureau in full view of everyone and walked towards a luxury car that had been waiting for a long time. The sound of the ring breaking seemed to announce the end of her old life and the beginning of a new journey.
Qin Shiyu and Song Yian hid in the crowd and witnessed all this. Song Yian patted Qin Shiyu on the shoulder and said, "I've never seen Chu Xixi like that."
Qin Shiyu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light: "Huo Hangfan, that idiot, really deserves it. However, the appearance of Xu Yuanmo seems to allow Xixi to have a different life."
Walking from the hustle and bustle to the quiet seaside, Xu Yuanmo looked at the silent Chu Xixi. He knew that she had too many questions in her heart, but he also had his own secrets.
"I know you are doubting." Xu Yuanmo's voice was low and gentle.
Chu Xixi looked up at him and felt that the sun was shining brightly, but her heart was calm. She wanted to test him, but she was also afraid of the cruel truth.
"Xu Yuanmo, do you really love me, or are you just going with the flow?" She finally spoke, her voice trembling slightly, because she knew what the answer meant.
Xu Yuanmo approached her, and the moment their faces got close, it seemed as if the whole world stopped.
He didn't answer her question directly, but lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead: "Can we not talk about 'if' and just look at the results."
The doubts in Chu Xixi's heart were like thick clouds that were gradually dispelled by the sun. Her gaze lingered on the cross-sea bridge in the distance behind him, and she suddenly thought of an important thing.
Chu Xixi thought she would never step into this white marble building of the Civil Affairs Bureau again. Yesterday, she and Huo Hangfan were going to receive their future together here, but today, at this solemn door, she abandoned a past that existed in name only. She held the shiny but empty ring in her hand and slammed it dramatically on the steps in front of the door.
Zhao Xueer's face was extremely ugly. The ring that should have belonged to Chu Xixi collided with the ground, making a harsh sound. Huo Hangfan's face was even paler. His cold fingers touched another ring in his pocket, as if he was trying to weigh the weight of the ring.
"You won't find a better ring than this, Chu Xixi." Huo Hangfan's voice was sharp and sarcastic.
Chu Xixi didn't look back, and her cold voice echoed in everyone's ears: "I have never found what I want here, Huo Hangfan."
Just as she was about to leave this suffocating place, a muscular black car slowly stopped beside her. The car window rolled down, and Xu Yuanmo's face came into view. He stretched out his hand, teasing but relaxed: "Do you need a partner to run away?"
Chu Xixi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and followed him to an unknown place in the distance.
"Aren't you going to ask who I am?" Xu Yuanmo asked while driving.
Chu Xi hoped to look at the scenery that was receding on the roadside, and said slowly: "There are so many people in the world, why should I know who you are? The breeze, the sun, the sea, these are the only simple things I need at this moment."
Xu Yuanmo raised his eyebrows, turned a corner, and sped up. "Maybe, I can give you more."
A breeze blew by, and Chu Xixi's long hair fluttered. She closed her eyes lightly, and the sweat on her forehead slid down, but a relieved smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The future is confusing and unknown, and the scenery on the other side of the bridge is longing and tempting. At this moment, Chu Xixi is still cautious in her heart, but she also knows that this man named Xu Yuanmo is definitely not an ordinary person.
The car sped along and finally stopped at the seaside, where the water and sky merged into one, the sea breeze blew on her face, and the sun set. Chu Xixi followed Xu Yuanmo out of the car and stepped on the soft sand. He looked at her quietly, with a different light flashing in his eyes.
At that time, she didn't know that the man in front of her was not only her destination, but also a huge turning point in her life.
Chu Xixi stood in front of the mirror, wearing colorful ribbons, making her look like a doll. Those carefully designed dresses changed on her body one after another, and each one was so beautiful that it made people's heart beat. Tomorrow was the day she would break off the engagement, and it was also the beginning of her reshaping herself.
Growing up in Qingshan Orphanage, she never knew what it was like to live a stable life until Huo Hangfan showed up. However, the seemingly perfect romance was just a party that was about to disappear into thin air. She wanted to wipe off the thin layer of gorgeous makeup and be the most real Chu Xixi.
"Xixi, you are so beautiful." When Qin Shiyu walked in, he saw Chu Xixi wearing a white dress, as white as the purity deep in her heart.
"Shi Yu, how long can I stay beautiful?" Chu Xixi laughed at herself, "Tomorrow everything will be different from before. I won't even be qualified to be happy."
"Nonsense, you can't be happy without that bastard Huo Hangfan? Come on, you are Chu Xixi, a design genius from Qingshan Orphanage. Why should you let others destroy your own world!" Qin Shiyu argued confidently, but a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Chu Xixi sighed, "I just don't want to trust the wrong person again."
"So, what are you going to do? Tell him to cancel the engagement?" Qin Shiyu said with a teasing look in his eyes.
