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

The salesgirl's eyes widened in surprise. "Of course! We are happy to serve you."

An impromptu small wedding was prepared in the hall of the bridal shop. Chu Xixi, wearing a snow-white wedding dress, stood under the flower gate that symbolized eternal happiness, with soft hands and creamy skin, like a princess from a fairy tale.

"Miss Chu, are you willing?" The female clerk dressed as a flower girl tested her.

Chu Xi looked out the window at the bright sunshine, as if she saw a new journey in her heart. "I do." She whispered in a voice that only she could hear.

Then, she raised her right hand and said forcefully, "I, Chu Xixi, am willing to say goodbye to the past and welcome a new life in my own way."

After she finished speaking, she touched the wedding ring with her other hand, and then, with a thought, she placed it in Xu Yuanmo's palm. "Please keep it for me." There was a big tremor in her voice.

Xu Yuanmo's hands suddenly froze. He not only heard Chu Xixi's words, but also felt her warmth and affection. He looked into those firm and slightly resolute eyes and nodded.

The sunlight outside the window became brighter, as if cheering for this special wedding. Chu Xixi knew that from this moment on, she would be heading towards an unknown future.

If the previous Chu Xixi was like duckweed swaying in the wind and rain, now she is more like a seed breaking through the soil, able to firmly grasp the soil and thrive in any storm.

As night fell, the lights of CR Group were bright, marking a bright zone on the city's skyline. Chu Xixi stood by the window of a tall building, her figure elongated by the soft indoor light, projected on the smooth marble floor. Her expression was complicated, as if she was struggling to push away her worries, but also as if she was welcoming new challenges.

Chu Xixi has already decided what to do tomorrow, which is to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to end this engagement that was doomed to end before it even began. She imagined herself throwing away the wedding ring full of deception, and she felt an indescribable clarity and determination in her heart.

However, just as she was about to turn around and leave, her phone suddenly vibrated and an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen. She hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the call.

A steady male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Ms. Chu, this is Song Yian. Can I invite you to a small party tonight? Mr. Xu Yuanmo hopes to meet you."

Chu Xixi's eyebrows slightly raised. Xu Yuanmo? The president of CR Group who was rumored to be a loner in the social circle and never interacted with others easily? She remembered seeing him from a distance at a charity dinner. His tall figure stood out in the crowd.

"I..." She hesitated for a moment, and when she thought about her plans for tomorrow, she felt a little conflicted.

"Ms. Chu, I promise this will be a worthwhile night." Song Yian chuckled on the other end of the phone, his voice carrying a hint of irresistible confidence and charm.

Finally, she agreed.

The party was held in a fashionable private club. Chu Xixi wore a simple and elegant little black dress, her hair gently brushed over her shoulders, and her makeup was delicate yet solemn. She walked into the club, and the low-key silver-gray walls and warm yellow lights created a warm and mysterious atmosphere.

As soon as she entered the main venue, a waiter came up to greet her with a smile and handed her a glass of champagne. "Mr. Song has instructed that he be notified as soon as Miss Chu arrives."

Chu Xixi nodded in thanks, holding the iced champagne glass in her hand, the crisp wall of the glass and the smooth champagne intertwined an unusual feeling. She looked around, the luxurious decoration and the sound of conversation formed a strange landscape.

Just as she was thinking about what to say when she met Xu Yuanmo, a figure walked in front of her, smiled slightly, like the brightest starlight in the dark night, exuding an unignorable presence. This person was the owner of the low and charming voice in the afterglow - Xu Yuanmo. He stretched out his hand to her and invited her to dance.

"Ms. Chu, maybe we can talk about a new beginning tonight?" His deep voice stood out against the music.

Chu Xixi gently held his hand, a premonition of the unknown rippling in her heart.

"Has anyone ever told you that you look beautiful in a wedding dress?" Xu Yuanmo stood in front of Chu Xixi, a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Chu Xixi's face was red as if it was burned by fire. She opened her mouth but couldn't find the right sound to respond to his praise. The image of her ex-boyfriend Huo Hangfan flashed through her mind quickly. They were once a couple that others envied, but their happy time was too short.

"Yes, Miss Chu, your beauty is unique." Qin Shiyu, who followed in, also echoed. She stood aside, knowing that this might be a key turning point in her friend's life.

Chu Xi hoped to nod shyly at Xu Yuanmo's half-smile. "Thank you for the compliment." Her voice was soft, but she couldn't suppress her nervousness.

"Then is there a chance for me to invite Miss Chu to dinner?" Xu Yuanmo naturally handed over a restaurant card.

Chu Xixi's heartbeat quickened. She had not expected that this man who had helped her the first time they met and given her warmth at this moment would now make such an invitation. What was the real intention behind this invitation? She pondered for a moment, then looked up and saw Xu Yuanmo's polite and expectant eyes.

"I... would love to." Chu Xixi smiled slightly, temporarily putting aside the worries and doubts about love in her heart.

Late at night, the city's bright lights and nightlife gradually faded away, and Chu Xixi and Qin Shiyu walked out of the luxurious restaurant. In the night, Chu Xixi's smile was particularly moving in the moonlight. She looked back at Xu Yuanmo, the man standing there silently, looking at her with eyes that seemed to hide an inexplicable emotion.

"Xixi, what do you think of him?" Qin Shiyu asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Chu Xixi smiled without saying anything, with a complex emotion in her eyes. "Shi Yu, he gave me an unprecedented sense of security, but it all came too suddenly..."

Yes, the world is changing too fast. The bride who was supposed to enter the marriage hall is now walking forward at a brand new starting point. The encounter tonight is like a piece of music that is not in accordance with the score, playing the melody of love, unique and beautiful.

Chu Xi hoped for Xu Yuanmo. She knew in her heart that the world never opened the door of sympathy to the weak. Her past, present and even future were firmly in her own hands, and the gift from fate, even if wrapped in the cloak of tragedy, could still be expected to be a surprise.

She recalled herself drawing by the window of the orphanage, the girl who longed to create a better future with her own hands. No matter how many times she was defeated by reality, she always believed that every persistence was an opportunity to make her dream come true.

Having gone through many hardships but still maintaining a pure heart, perhaps it was this spirit of never giving up that caught Xu Yuanmo's attention. From his steady steps, Chu Xixi seemed to be able to sense a kind of stability, a kind of strength that people could rely on.

"If you don't mind, I would like to invite you two to have dinner together tonight." He had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were full of seriousness.

Chu Xixi wanted to refuse, but seeing his sincerity, she knew she couldn't ignore this sudden invitation. Perhaps, this was another door that fate had given her.

The night breeze was gentle, and they sat by the window in the restaurant. Under the light, Chu Xixi's cheeks were stained pink, and Xu Yuanmo's eyes were full of appreciation. "Speaking of which, I originally came here to find someone." His voice was low and magnetic.

Chu Xixi raised her head slightly and could see the neon lights of the city flashing in the night through the French windows of the restaurant. She waited curiously for his next words.

"A tenacious person who is crucial to the future of my CR Group." Xu Yuanmo smiled slightly, with stars in his eyes.

That night, they talked about their dreams and the future. The wedding dress design in Chu Xixi's hand had long been forgotten. Her heart was in turmoil, and a feeling she had never had before spread through her heart. She knew that this night would become an indelible mark in her life journey.

Chu Xixi stood in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the sunlight reflected a faint glow on her golden hair. The face that was full of hope yesterday was now covered with the shadow of disappointment and pain. The grief and anger in her heart was like being slowly boiled by warm water, almost overflowing. She looked at the dazzling wedding ring in her hand, which was the evidence of the affectionate embrace between Huo Hangfan and Zhao Xueer that she saw last night.

Qin Shiyu looked at her nervously, trying to dial a number several times, but stopped, not knowing what to do. If this matter were to get out, Chu Xixi's reputation and mood would suffer an irreparable blow.

Suddenly, Chu Xixi smiled, but that smile was icy cold, like the howling of the north wind in winter. "Shiyu, today is my wedding, isn't it?" Chu Xixi's voice was unexpectedly calm, but Qin Shiyu could clearly feel the anger in it.

"Xixi, you..." While Qin Shiyu was speaking, Chu Xixi had already walked towards the hotel across the street. She needed to calm down and reconsider everything.

Suddenly, a black luxury car slowly drove up to her side, the window rolled down, revealing a handsome face. "Do you need help?" The voice was deep and magnetic, revealing an unquestionable determination. Chu Xixi turned her head and met Xu Yuanmo's cold and deep eyes.

In an instant, Chu Xixi felt a tremor in her heart. She didn't know who this man was, but his eyes gave her an unprecedented sense of security. Chu Xixi hesitated for a moment, "I just want to find a place to be quiet."

"It's very quiet in my car." Xu Yuanmo smiled slightly, with an order in his tone that could not be refused.

Chu Xixi was surprised at her decision, but she still got in the car. Qin Shiyu watched the car go away, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She didn't know if all this was too impulsive, but she knew that her friend might need such an escape.

Inside the car, Xu Yuanmo didn't say much. He started the car without asking about the destination, and Chu Xixi remained silent. The two of them drove together in the afternoon sun, on this unknown journey - a journey that would change the entire trajectory of Chu Xixi's life.

When Xu Yuanmo walked in, Chu Xixi was standing in front of the dressing mirror, trying to accept a brand new self.

Her wedding dress was pure white and dreamy, and the atmosphere contained an inexplicable magic. She looked at herself in the mirror, trying to convince herself to welcome a new beginning. She took a deep breath, and her smile concealed a hint of sadness.

"Beauty, you look so beautiful in this wedding dress! Your boyfriend must like it very much, right?" the female clerk asked Chu Xixi with a smile.

"No way, I always thought that men only like to look at beautiful women and won't have any comments on wedding dresses." Chu Xixi said with some self-mockery, trying to dispel the haze in her heart.

"In fact, sometimes men also appreciate and respect beautiful things, just like they would be attracted by the streamlined design of a racing car or a sharp knife. Appreciating the beauty of a wedding dress may also be an instinct." Xu Yuanmo said slowly beside Chu Xixi.

"What a coincidence! The piece of clothing Miss Chu is like a work of art in my mind." He said gently, his eyes firm.

Chu Xixi was stunned for a moment, and was moved by the words of this stranger. She felt a proper respect and appreciation from the stranger, which seemed to help her resist the grievance and depression in her heart.

"My fiancé, who is also my ex, was absent on the wedding day. I don't know if I can still describe my current mood as beautiful or admiring." Chu Xixi suddenly had a desire to talk.

When the female clerk heard this, she immediately realized that the business was going to fail, and she apologized hastily, "I'm sorry, Miss Chu, we didn't mean to bring up your sad story."
