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

"But why would I agree to you?" Chu Xixi's mouth corners raised slightly.

Xu Yuanmo smiled. "First, you look very beautiful today, and you should be in a happier mood. Second, helping me may help you forget some of your unhappiness. Finally, you can ask any questions you are interested in, and I will answer them one by one."

The doubt and vigilance in Chu Xixi's eyes did not disappear immediately, but deep in her heart, the desire to pursue novelty had already shaken her original defenses.

"I'll think about it," she said, still with a hint of caution in her tone.

"Okay." Xu Yuanmo was not affected by Chu Xixi's hesitation at all, "You can think about it slowly, but by then, you may be more certain of your choice."

In this way, Chu Xixi accepted this sudden role with doubts. She didn't know what kind of changes this day would bring to her, nor how this choice would affect her future.

When the day of being a fake bride ended, there was already a shadow of another person in the picture of Chu Xixi's life. And Xu Yuanmo also laid the groundwork for the indissoluble bond in the future story.

Chu Xixi casually straightened the knot in the array of the Dream Wedding Shop, her fingers sliding over the texture of the silk surface, but her heart seemed to be etched with an invisible mark. When Qin Shiyu pushed the door open, he saw through her thoughts at a glance.

"Hey, Xixi, you can't give me that 'the world is ruined' expression today. You are the protagonist today!" Qin Shiyu took her arm with an impish smile on his face.

Chu Xixi was stunned for a moment, and a self-deprecating smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Shi Yu, do you know that if your comfort is a little more sweet, I will get cavities."

Their chat was interrupted by the ringing of the wedding dress shop. A tall figure blocked the warm sunlight, and Xu Yuanmo stepped into their sight calmly. His eyes were as direct as always, and he stayed on Chu Xixi and Qin Shiyu for a moment without losing his courtesy.

"Hey! Miss Chu, it's a rare occasion that you come here, so don't just look. Boss, give us the most beautiful wedding dress to try on." Xu Yuanmo casually gave the clerk a tactful order, and then turned to Chu Xixi, his deep eyes as if he was looking at a unique treasure.

Chu Xixi was stunned. She didn't expect to meet Xu Yuanmo in such an occasion.

Qin Shiyu poked her arm and whispered, "Go and try it quickly. Don't let this wild diamond man get impatient."

Chu Xixi walked into the dressing room under the smiling guidance of the clerk. When a white veil gave her angel wings and she seemed to transform into a lily swaying in the wind, the clerk asked her to turn around and look at herself in the mirror.

Her eyes met Xu Yuanmo in the mirror. His eyes were so serious, as if he could see through all the beauty and anxiety. Chu Xixi's heart trembled silently.

Xu Yuanmo walked closer slowly and said softly, "Beautiful, it suits you."

Hearing this compliment, the shop assistants cheered with envy, and Qin Shiyu's eyes widened, as if he had already seen the heroine's peerless beauty in her wedding dress.

Chu Xixi gave Xu Yuanmo a polite smile: "Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Everything seemed to be on track so perfectly. Xu Yuanmo reached out to touch the ribbon on Chu Xixi's shoulder, but at the moment when his fingertips were about to touch her shoulder, a cold and sharp female voice came from outside the bridal shop.

"Mr. Xu, why are you staying in a small shop like this, and accompanying such an ordinary female customer?" The owner of the voice was the rumored fiancée of CR Group. She walked in with a bit of sarcasm, her eyes fixed on Chu Xixi and Xu Yuanmo.

There was a subtle gleam in Chu Xixi's eyes, and Xu Yuanmo gently moved a step to separate the two of them, but the smile on his face held a deeper meaning.

"Xixi, you look so beautiful in your wedding dress." Qin Shiyu praised.

Chu Xixi avoided her gaze in the mirror. In her eyes, these gorgeous dresses seemed to have lost their former charm. Huo Hangfan's betrayal made her feel hesitant about this day that should have been full of anticipation.

The lights of the bridal shop sprinkled on them, as if they were covered with a layer of gold. Xu Yuanmo's eyes were warm, but more of a kind of strength given to Chu Xixi. The female clerk looked at Xu Yuanmo in front of her and couldn't help but whispered: "This gentleman is not only extraordinary, but the light in his eyes seems to say that the whole store is his wife today."

"Actually, today is not the day I'm getting married." Chu Xixi suddenly gained courage under Xu Yuanmo's gaze. She spoke softly, breaking the romantic reverie of everyone present.

"So, Ms. Chu, are you willing to share your story?" Xu Yuanmo's attitude did not change at all. He seemed to be saying to Chu Xixi, and also to everyone present, "No matter what happens, there will always be a ray of light that will shine into your life."

Chu Xixi's heart trembled - she seemed to have a sense of déjà vu about this voice and this aura, as if a long time ago, someone had said such inspiring words to her.

"Xixi, no matter what, we are your strongest support." Qin Shiyu looked at Chu Xixi with determination in his eyes.

Chu Xixi took a deep breath and looked at Xu Yuanmo. She felt like she had found someone to talk to. "Today was supposed to be the day I got my marriage certificate, but last night, I discovered that my fiancé was cheating on me with another woman."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment, and then Xu Yuanmo stretched out his warm hand and gently pressed it on the back of Chu Xixi's hand.

"Don't worry, Miss Chu. If trust is a kind of power, then you, a beautiful woman, should be treated gently by this world." His voice was like a warm current, and cracks began to appear on the frozen lake in Chu Xixi's heart.

"You, how do you know my name?" Chu Xixi asked puzzledly.

Xu Yuanmo smiled slightly, "Coincidentally, I was just about to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Chu Xixi gently fiddled with the white wedding dress hanging on her body in front of the mirror. It should have been her happiest outfit, but now it had become a mockery. Her eyes revealed a more desolate look as she tried on each wedding dress. At this moment, a deep voice pulled her out of her sad memories.

"Ms. Chu, that wedding dress suits you very well." Xu Yuanmo walked in from outside, wearing a dark blue suit that perfectly set off his elegant temperament.

Chu Xixi looked at the man in front of her with great interest. This was the first time she observed him so closely.

"Why...are you here?" Chu Xixi asked vigilantly.

"Oh, I just happened to be passing by." Xu Yuanmo's eyes flashed with a smile.

"Yes, a friend." Xu Yuanmo confirmed, and he extended his hand, "Or more precisely, someone who can lend a helping hand when you need it."

His eyes were firm and his palms were large and warm. Chu Xixi was confused for a moment, but in the end, she still put her hand in his palm.

Xu Yuanmo's palm gave her an unprecedented sense of security, which made her wonder why this noble CR Group CEO would lend a helping hand to a helpless woman like her? And what kind of story was hidden in his eyes?

Chu Xixi didn't know that this handshake was the beginning of a new chapter in her life and a reshuffle of her fate. Xu Yuanmo smiled at her, and there was an indescribable warmth and depth in that smile.

Xu Yuanmo looked at the confident and determined woman in front of him, his eyes flashing with admiration, "I admire your confidence. This design competition is a great opportunity, and I am looking forward to the amazing work you will present."

"Mr. Xu, I won't let you down." Chu Xixi looked at him and said in a firm voice.

With new expectations, the days passed by extremely busy and fast. Chu Xixi went all out to conceive the design plan, select various materials, and work hard in the studio.

Every day, you can see a strong and confident smile on her face. She devotes almost all her time to her work, striving for perfection.

Sometimes when she was tired, Chu Xixi would involuntarily think of the warm figure and the words he said when he met in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. "Since you can't accept it now, I will wait here until you are willing to accept me."

Every time at this moment, she would smile, feeling an indescribable sense of security and sweetness in her heart.

The day to submit the design plan arrived in a blink of an eye. When Chu Xixi walked into the conference room with the sorted materials, she found that not only the management of CR Group but also a group of famous special guests were sitting in the room.

Her eyes swept across the guests and suddenly stopped at a woman of outstanding appearance. She was wearing a pure Italian handmade suit and skirt, elegant and generous, with a friendly and appropriate smile on her face.

Chu Xixi instantly realized that this woman must be Xu Yuanmo’s fiancée. Her chest tightened and her face turned slightly pale.

However, when she looked into the woman's eyes, she saw a different look - no hostility, no provocation, only seriousness and evaluation.

In a slightly tense atmosphere, the design competition officially began.

They came to the top of the mountain not far from Qingshan Orphanage. The terrain here is higher and they can overlook the entire orphanage. Looking at the layout below that looks like a toy city, Chu Xixi's eyes flickered with some complicated emotions.

"I thought you would be surprised when you saw such a scenery for the first time." Xu Yuanmo's tone was calm but with some emotion.

Chu Xixi turned her head and looked him straight in the eye. "Have you been here before?"

"Not only me, but your friends also know about this," Xu Yuanmo looked into the distance, "We are just respecting your choice, respecting your dream and persistence."

"You already knew my secret, so..." Chu Xixi tried to hide her excitement, but her trembling voice still betrayed her true feelings, "Can you tell me what kind of people my parents are and why I am an orphan?"

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuanmo walked beside her, "We... protect you, and we also hope that you can find your own answer in your own time and space."

They recalled the past together, comforting the feelings in their hearts. In the sunlight, the shadows of the two people standing side by side were dragged out, as if even time had given up at this moment, inexplicably giving rise to a kind of calm poetry.

This conversation with Xu Yuanmo made Chu Xixi's attitude towards life much gentler. She began to learn to let go of the burden that had been in her heart for many years and face the past with a more peaceful attitude.

As time goes by, Chu Xixi continues to accumulate inspiration and experience, and she becomes more and more competitive in the competition. Based on her love for design, she conveys her understanding and emotions of the world through her works.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, the final of the design competition was about to begin, and Chu Xixi also ushered in a very important moment in her life.

However, no one expected that the subsequent developments would push Chu Xixi into a series of more drastic life shocks. In front of the bright future, fate is quietly laying out numerous trials and tests, waiting for a brave man to take on the challenge.

Chu Xixi looked up at the sky. The news of the broken engagement was like a dark cloud hanging over her head, ready to fall at any time. The wedding ring reflected a cold luster under the light, just like her mood at the moment. When she was about to step out of the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau and announce that her marriage that had never begun was over, a black luxury car drove up, and the window slowly lowered, revealing Xu Yuanmo's deep eyes.

"Miss Chu, the weather seems to be bad. Would you like to take a ride?" There was a hint of playfulness in Xu Yuanmo's voice, and his slightly raised eyebrows seemed to tell of his experience of seeing through the world.
