Xiao Yunyun said that she respected Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan’s decision and would not blame them.
She could also understand why her parents chose to divorce.
However, understanding and respect could not relieve her sadness.
At this moment, she threw herself into Shen Yuechuan’s arms. She could finally stop pretending to be calm. She felt that her heart was being dismembered.
A searing pain spread throughout her body.
Xiao Yunyun was so sad because she was afraid of change.
For so many years, she had gotten used to Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan being a couple. Everything would change after they divorced.
She did not know what was going to change in the future, nor did she know if she could accept such changes, so she was afraid.
Shen Yuechuan held Xiao Yunyun tightly. After a long while, when her voice had calmed down a little, he said slowly, “Yunyun, there is no love between them. If they maintain their legal marriage, not only will it be meaningless, but they will also not be happy.”
“…” Xiao Yunyun did not speak. On the contrary, it seemed that someone had poked at her most vulnerable spot. Her crying suddenly became louder, and she got more agitated.
Shen Yuechuan did not dare to go on. He just stroked Xiao Yunyun’s back and comforted her silently.
After crying for an unknown period of time, Xiao Yunyun finally calmed down a little. She choked with sobs and said, “I understand… Yuechuan, I understand everything you said…”
Shen Yuechuan thought for a moment and asked, “Since you understand, will you force them to maintain the marriage for you?”
Of course, Xiao Yunyun would not.
But that was also the reason why her crying got even more out of control. After a long time, she said intermittently, “Yuechuan, I’m afraid…”
Shen Yuechuan soon understood what Xiao Yunyun was afraid of.
He was about to have an operation, and the result… could be one that was unacceptable to Xiao Yunyun.
Xiao Yunyun already had this unstable factor to worry about.
If Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan divorced now, it would be a fatal blow to Xiao Yunyun, and it meant that everything she was familiar with would change.
Xiao Yunyun was afraid that she would lose her current home. What was more, she was afraid that it would give rise to a vicious cycle. In other words, she was afraid that it would make everything worse.
Shen Yuechuan touched Xiao Yunyun’s head and comforted her with a smile. “Silly girl, you should think about it from another view point.”
Xiao Yunyun raised her head and looked at Shen Yuechuan with tears in her eyes. “What other viewpoint?”
Shen Yuechuan explained slowly, “After your parents divorce, they will still love you as before, and they will live separately. You will lose your current home, but you will have two in the future.”
Xiao Yunyun understood what Shen Yuechuan meant.
After Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan divorced, they would definitely start their own new lives, but they would still be her parents.
In the future, she could go and look for her father or her mother separately.
With this thought, it seemed that the divorce between Su Yunjin and Xiao Guoshan was not so hard to accept.
Xiao Yunyun dabbed at the corners of her eyes and looked at Shen Yuechuan with a teary smile. “You are so good at comforting people.”
Shen Yuechuan smiled modestly. “I’m flattered. I’m simply telling the truth.”
Xiao Yunyun lowered her head. In order to hide her sobbing tone, she whispered, “Although I will have two homes in the future, I don’t have a complete home…”
“…” Shen Yuechuan was silent for a moment, then slowly tilted Xiao Yunyun’s face up so she had to look at him and said, “Yunyun, we will have a complete home. Don’t be afraid. I will give you a home.”
Xiao Yunyun obviously did not expect Shen Yuechuan to say that. She looked at him in a daze and the tears that had finally stopped started flowing again.
This time, Xiao Yunyun felt as if the valve of her tear ducts had been opened. Her tears surged forth in a torrent, as if they would never stop.
She once heard that in this world, days and nights would always alternate. No matter what you lost, fate would compensate you in another way one day in the future.
For example, when dead leaves fell to the ground, there would be new shoots appearing on the branches.
Although she would lose her home where she had grown up, Shen Yuechuan would set up a new and complete home with her.
How lucky she was to have Shen Yuechuan!
Xiao Yunyun did not know whether she was moved or sad. She threw herself into Shen Yuechuan’s arms and sobbed so much that she could not speak.
Shen Yuechuan lowered his head and kissed the top of Xiao Yunyun’s head. He said with a touch of overwhelming affection in his voice, “Yunyun, no matter who gets separated, no matter who leaves you, we will always be together.”
Xiao Yunyun nodded while choking with sobs and threatened Shen Yuechuan, “You said it. If you break your promise, I’ll never forgive you!”
Shen Yuechuan smiled and said, “I will try my best to keep my promise.”
He would try his best to get over his illness.
Xiao Yunyun looked at Shen Yuechuan, and the mist in her eyes dispersed little by little. Her eyes cleared and she was her usual spirited self.
After arriving in City A, Xiao Yunyun suddenly encountered some problems that she had never experienced before, especially emotional ones.
Fortunately, after overcoming those problems, she had one more person who loved her now.
That person would be with her always to face and to shoulder any problems.
Actually, fate treated her pretty well.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunyun could not help smiling. She pressed Shen Yuechuan down on the bed and said, “Well, go to sleep. I’m going to get our stuff in the living room for the Spring Festival!”
Shen Yuechuan had just woken up, so he did not want to sleep at all. He also knew that Xiao Yunyun did not need to get any stuff in the living room.
However, he could roughly guess Xiao Yunyun’s purpose for going out.
Shen Yuechuan thought for a moment, then lay down cooperatively, and closed his eyes.
Xiao Yunyun finally felt relieved. She closed the door and walked to the balcony of the living room.
At the sound of the door closing, Shen Yuechuan opened his eyes and glanced around the entire room. After thinking for a while, he closed his eyes again.
Even if he could not sleep, it would be good to have a good rest.
After all, tomorrow was a big day, and he needed to nurse his strength for it.
It turned out that Shen Yuechuan overestimated his physical strength. Not long after he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Yunyun calculated the time, then quietly pushed the door open and poked her head into the room. When she saw that Shen Yuechuan was indeed asleep, she dialed Su Jian’an’s number with relief.
Su Jian’an always carried her mobile phone with her. No matter who called, she would usually pick it up as soon as possible.
But this time, she answered the call only when Xiao Yunyun tried for the second time.
“Yunyun, I’m sorry.” Su Jian’an apologized first and then explained, “I was too busy today, so I didn’t notice that my phone rang.”
“It doesn’t matter. You and my cousin-in-law have really put in a hard day’s work!” Xiao Yunyun smiled and asked in a low voice, “Cousin, is everything all set for tomorrow?”
“Yes. We’re doing the final arrangements now,” Su Jian’an said, “and once it is confirmed that everything is okay, you can go to the church. Let’s do a rehearsal.”
“A rehearsal?”
It sounded very grand.
Xiao Yunyun tilted her head in confusion. “Cousin, Yuechuan and I will be holding a small wedding. Do we need a rehearsal?”
“It’s a small wedding, so we must make it detailed and memorable!” Su Jian’an’s words sounded reasonable. “Yunyun, the wedding is a very important beginning for a person, and it will become a very vital part of your life memories. We can’t just have a random one just because it’s small.”
Xiao Yunyun thought about it and suddenly felt that Su Jian’an’s words made sense. She replied with an “okay” and asked, “Then shall I go to the church now?”
“Okay.” Su Jian’an paused and added, “Don’t drive on your own. Get the driver to send you here.”
The last time Xiao Yunyun drove was when Lin Zhixia framed her. She almost lost her life due to this sudden impulse.
Since then, Su Jian’an and the others had tacitly blacklisted Xiao Yunyun and forbade her to drive.
Xiao Yunyun did not forget the mistake she had made. She stuck out her tongue guiltily and said, “Well, I won’t drive on my own.”
Only then did Su Jian’an hang up the phone with relief.
Xiao Yunyun ran back to the room and saw that Shen Yuechuan was still asleep, so she left a note on the bedside table. She only said that she had some things to do and was going to look for Su Jian’an, and that she would come back after she settled everything.
The church that Su Jian’an chose was quite a distance from Shen Yuechuan’s apartment. The car sped on the road for more than three hours and finally stopped in front of the church.
The church, which was not big, had a western architectural style and its interior layout was very welcoming and peaceful. It was a place suitable for holding a small and intimate wedding.
Xiao Yunyun was not surprised that Su Jian’an could find such a place.
Some decorations that could be set up in advance had already been placed outside the church. The wedding services staff bustled about, which made the small church look particularly lively.
Xiao Yunyun opened the door, got out of the car, and approached the church slowly.
Some of the staff recognized Xiao Yunyun, and they smiled and said playfully, “The bride is here!”
Xiao Yunyun pursed her lips and tried to hold back her smile, but she failed.
She had to admit that the word “bride” gave her an indescribable sense of happiness.
She was rather excited at the thought of becoming Shen Yuechuan’s bride tomorrow.
Su Jian’an was supervising the final arrangements inside the church. When she heard someone outside shouting “The bride is here”, she came out and saw Xiao Yunyun.
She smiled and waved at Xiao Yunyun. “Yunyun, come in.”
“Cousin!” The smile on Xiao Yunyun’s face was brighter than the midday sunshine. She skipped toward Su Jian’an and asked curiously, “How do we do the rehearsal?”
Su Jian’an looked at Xiao Yunyun carefully for a moment and exposed her directly. “Yunyun, in fact, you really want a rehearsal, don’t you?”
Xiao Yunyun coughed hard and continued to keep up the pretense. “Cousin, I’m just curious…”
“Okay.” Su Jian’an was quite cooperative. She stopped teasing Xiao Yunyun and pulled her into the church, saying, “I’ll satisfy your curiosity then.”
