The reason why Young Master An agreed to be engaged to Zhao Mubai wasn't entirely because he was being coerced by Madam Yu. Yu Tian Heng was right, it was for Qian Ning, to prevent her from being misunderstood so deeply by Yu Tian Heng, to prevent her from being abandoned.
Although Madam Yu urged him to get married every day, he had never considered this as pressure, so he had never intended to get married. Now that they were suddenly going to get engaged, the truth was that it frightened everyone.
Zhao Muwan was the third daughter of Wei Yuan's CEO, Zhao Chuan. She was an illegitimate daughter born of Zhao Chuan and a woman from outside. She was still in university this year. The reason why he was in such a hurry to marry his daughter was all because of the setting sun.
Madam Yu had successfully brought him back, on the condition that Zhao Chuan's two thousand gold would be married into the Imperial Family's daughter-in-law, which was to sacrifice Young Master An's happiness in exchange for that land. Second Miss Zhao was very pretty, with a suitable figure. It was easy for Madam Yu to fall in love with her. Just as she was worrying about not being able to find a daughter-in-law, she readily agreed.
The two families were willing to do as they pleased and verbally decided on the marriage. These days, Madam Yu had been talking about Zhao Moyun's good fortune in front of Young Master An almost every day, and had annoyed him enough. He didn't have the slightest consciousness of getting married before, but today, he had changed his mind.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuan had cheated her, and the young miss who was under the contract was now the third young miss. The Madam Yu was extremely angry. However, since Young Master An was finally willing to agree, he could only agree.
Compared to Second Miss, Third Miss was like the difference between heaven and earth. Madame Yu was filled with anger. While arranging the engagement ceremony, he was also thinking of a way to make Zhao Chuan, that old fox, pay a price.
Young Master An didn't really care. After all, they were all women who didn't love each other. He never lacked beauties, so when he wanted beauties, he could just casually hook up a large number of them.
The engagement party was held at a five-star hotel, so Young Master An was taken to the scene early on. She had also changed into a formal attire, wearing only the diamond ring that YueTian Heng had given her. Dressed in a long white dress, her hair was still loose and wavy, fresh and natural.
Yu Tian Heng personally drove the family of four to a hotel. Although he and Qian Ning were enemies, they were still gentle in front of the children. It didn't seem like they were having problems with their marriage at all. Of course, it was the same for Jian Qianlin.
"Mommy, if Big Uncle marries, will he give birth to a baby with Big Aunt as well?" Zhe asked curiously.
"Of course. Everyone has to get married and have babies."
"Then doesn't that mean uncle won't have time to play with me anymore? He'll love babies more. " said Zegna, his small face sagging.
Hearing this, he said, "Don't worry, we have daddy and mommy who are in pain, and grandpa and grandma. Big uncle wants to love the baby because the baby is still young." He turned to Yu Tian Heng and asked, "Father, is that it?"
Yu Tian Heng looked at her in the rearview mirror. A gentle smile appeared on his handsome face as he nodded his head in agreement. Qian Ning looked at his enchanting smile and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. After this incident, they might never again have the opportunity to travel together in the same car again, and never again would she see him show such a doting smile towards these children.
This feeling of loss was unbearable for her. She turned around and looked at the figure of the desert that was printed on the window. Was this her? It was not easy to nurture a better spirit, but after a few days of tormenting, it became extremely haggard.
When the car stopped in front of the Star Restaurant, the four of them entered the venue. Jian Qianlin scanned the venue and found that Yi Meng'er was there as well. She was stunned as she had not expected her to come. When she saw Rong Xiu Shu by Yi Meng'er's side, she was not surprised at all. She should have known that she would bring her son to participate!
"Where is the imperial guard? Why hasn't the imperial guard arrived yet? " Master Yu turned around from his group of friends and asked somewhat anxiously.
Madam Yu also stamped her feet back and forth anxiously, saying anxiously, "I don't know either. It was clearly there just now."
"Big Brother couldn't have run away from the wedding, right?" Yu Qin suddenly burst out, her gaze turned and landed on Jian Qian Ning, and said: "Ask Second Sister-in-Law, maybe Second Sister-in-law will find out where Big Brother is? She has been in contact with her big brother the most. "
Jian Qian Ning's heart skipped a beat. She knew that Yu Qin must have done it on purpose, and as expected, the wife of the Yu Qin walked over to her, and sized her up with a questioning gaze: "Qian Ning, where is Yu An? Don't you know? The guests are all waiting for him. "
"Mom …" Jane Qianlin awkwardly opened her mouth: "How would I know where Big Brother is? Big Bro went out with you early in the morning. " She felt a bit annoyed. She raised her head to look at Yu Tian Heng and coincidentally saw his mocking gaze.
Unknowingly, he had fallen into a group of meticulous people. How sad!
"Alright, Qian Ning has always been with Tian Heng, so there's no reason for her to know the whereabouts of Yu An. Send someone to look for her at home and in the company." Master Yu came out in time to help Jane Qian Ning out of her predicament. Only then did he persuade Madam Yu and Yu Qin to leave.
Jian Qianxing took a deep breath and followed the direction of the lobby's spiral staircase. She saw a girl wearing a knee-length white dress standing on the spiral staircase. The girl was around 16.5 years old, fair and tender, with delicate features. Jane Qianlin unconsciously looked in her direction because from the moment she entered the room, she had felt a probing gaze shoot over from the top of the spiral staircase. She had thought that she had gotten the wrong person, but she hadn't thought that …
It was obvious that the girl was the female lead of the night, and her gaze never stopped looking at him. When she looked at Jian Chen, she felt extremely uncomfortable. She turned her gaze away and used this as a chance to avoid his burning gaze.
She didn't know why Zhao Mubai was looking at her like that. Was it because of Yu Qin's words? Even she was misunderstanding him and Young Master An? It seemed that she hated him before she even entered the door, so her future days would be even more miserable!
Zhizhi and Xin Xin were led to a corner by a servant to eat dessert. Jian Qianyu sat alone in a corner. She chose a spot furthest from Yi Meng'er and Rong Xiushu to avoid meeting them directly.
Yu Tian Heng was busy talking to his business friends while holding a glass of wine and laughing in the crowd. Even when he was tired, he would not return to Jian Chen's side. Instead, he would walk to the side of Rong Xiushu and Yi Meng'er.
She watched as he picked out the most exquisite dessert for Yi Meng'er to taste. She watched as he and Yi Meng'er chatted and laughed, their intimate relationship was even closer than it had ever been with her.
Although Yu Tian Heng had been good to him in the recent days, he had only treated him with respect. He had never been as friendly as Yi Meng'er. Perhaps this was the difference between love and not love. He had always loved his former self.
Even so, she still felt satisfied. She quietly stood up from her chair and walked up the stairs to the lounge on the second floor. Staying in the lobby only made her more and more depressed, so she preferred to stay in the lounge.
There were a lot of resting rooms on the second floor. Jane Qianlin randomly picked one to enter and found that the lounge was empty. However, one could faintly hear sobbing sounds coming from the washroom. She paused for a moment, then walked in carefully. Then she saw a woman in a white dress standing in front of the sink.
This woman was the one who had just stood on the spiral staircase … Tonight's female lead, Zhao Muwan! Jian Qian Ning was astonished as she stood at the door of the washroom, looking at her. The woman who had a gentle and graceful smile just a moment ago was actually crying while she turned around?
When Zhao Muwan saw Jian QianNing in the mirror, she was slightly stunned. She was unloading the crown on her head, but no matter how she unloaded it, her hands were frozen in midair. She turned and smiled politely at Jane, her face still streaked with tears.
"Ugh …" Let me help you. " Jane Qian Ning walked over and carefully removed the crown from her head. She raised her eyebrows and looked at her in the mirror. "How can I meet him in a while?"
"It's not like the imperial guard will be there anyway, but it doesn't matter. It's not the engagement I want anyway." Zhao Mu Chen smiled faintly. His black hair spread out, covering half of her small face. The other half of his face was pale and gloomy.
It seemed like this engagement banquet was held due to mutual reluctance. When Jian Qianyu recalled her previous union with Yu Tian Heng, it was also like that with no dreams, the goddess had no intentions, and after the union there was only loneliness and pain. As she thought of this, she began to sympathize with this woman in front of her. After marrying into the Imperial Family, perhaps she would have the same arduous and painful time as herself!
"Young Master An, he …" "Maybe he'll be here in a while." Jian Qian Ning comforted her carefully.
Zhao Mucheng suddenly turned around and looked at her with a faint smile, "Yuqin is right. Do you really know where he is?"
Jian Qian Ning was speechless. She shook her head to show that she didn't know. She was trying to explain herself as she didn't want Zhao Mu Wan to misunderstand her. Zhao Mu Wan didn't have much of an opinion towards her, but still continued to smile faintly. "I heard that you're the one who's being loved by the imperial guards, I thought you were some kind of peerless beauty. The moment I saw you, I felt a little better about the imperial guard. "
Jian Qian Ning was at a loss for words as she listened to Zhao Mu Wan continue to speak, "Actually, it doesn't matter who he loves. He and I are both dead in name, so you don't need to care too much about how I feel. Thank you for helping me take the crown. I have lessons in the afternoon, so I'll be leaving first."
Zhao Muwan gave her a faint smile as she turned around and walked towards the door of the washroom. When she got out, she could only see the corner of the white dress floating away. She was stunned in the lounge, unable to react.
In the end, Young Master An didn't come to attend the engagement party. He only sent someone to bring over the engagement ring. A grand engagement banquet was being held up by the Old Master and Madam Yu. At night, when he returned to Yu Mansion, Master Yu was so angry that he wished he could kill Young Master An as soon as possible!
Young Master An seemed to have disappeared into thin air. It was only after asking Cheng Lin that he knew he had gone on a business trip.
Yu Tianheng took the children back to the beach villa. Jane Qianlin looked at the empty bedroom and wondered if they would ever come back. Would they never come back to the beach villa again until the day she signed it?
The intimacy between Yu Tian Heng and Yi Meng'er was like an inverted movie that kept playing in her mind. Every time it was played, it was a torment to her heart and she could not hold it in any longer.
