Chapter 156 Love Will Find A Way (Section Begin) 2

“What wedding room, what wedding hall?” Yang Jing Zhi captured the key words, interrupting Su Shuilian’s complaint.

“Eh? He didn’t tell you anything? My brother told me that he’s about to get married. He asked me to clean and prepare his house. He even asked me to decorate the new house so it will look like it’s just been built. I thought you knew it already, and I even thought that you’re upset because he made an insincere proposal to you, which made you not want to meet him.” Su Shuilian looked at her friend in surprise.

“I don’t know anything. He has never told me anything.” Yang Jing Zhi’s pale face showed her shoke. He was about to get married, but she wasn’t his bride. Ha… how funny! Then the self punishing days she’s been living recently was for who?

“Eh? Jing Zhi, perhaps my brother wants to give you a surprise, so he hasn’t told you yet? Su Shuilian lowered her head and thought. “I’m going to find him and get a clear answer. Don’t worry. I’ll make him give you an explanation.” After she spoke, Su Shuilian rushed out of the room.

Yang Jing Zhi was left with a pale face. Explanation? No need. If he had wanted to give her a surprise, he should have told her as soon as he returned to Fan Luo County. He wouldn’t have kept it a secret, which she had to get from someone else, after an entire month. Liang En Zai, how heartless of you!

“Madam? Why are you returning early? Don’t you want to have lunch here? Our doctors don’t have any more appointments.” Seeing Su Shuilian rushing out of the clinic with her head down, Qing Qing hurried to call after her.

Su Shuilian didn’t even lift her head. She waved at Qing Qing to signal her farewell. After she finally got inside the horse carriage, she lifted her head and burst out laughing.

“Hahaha! Heavens! I wasn’t aware how difficult it was to keep a straight face when pulling a prank on someone. I almost couldn’t hold it. Xin Zhi, we’re going to the Wangye’s mansion first. I need to tell my brother that we’ve done the play he asked.”

Eight days before the Mid-Autumn Festival: the almost-full moon was slowly making its way to the center of the sky.

It was really late at night, but she didn’t feel sleepy at all.

She hugged her knees, sitting on the porch outside her bedroom. She blankly watched the moon. During daylight, she could abuse her busyness to temporarily forget the man in her heart. However, when the night fell, the crazy craving swarmed her and followed her as if it was her shadow. She was always unguarded at this time.

Damn! He was about to marry. Why is she still thinking of him? She should forget him. She should make him know that she could still live well without him!

Under the dim moonlight, she lowered her head and checked her palm. She had never been superstitious, but now she was scrutinizing her marriage line on her palm. After a while, she sighed from the bottom of her heart. Then, she realized she had been sitting there for almost half a night.

Several months ago, after every three or five days, he would come to her room and hug her to pass the long night. Sometimes, he would tangle with her to satisfy his desire. But there were also times when he just wanted to hug her to sleep.

She did not care about her virginity. He had taken it two years ago. She came from the twenty-first century, how could she be less brave than Jiang Ying Yun? So what made her yearn and contemplate during the middle of the night? What was her heart aching for at this moment?

She sighed again and returned to her room. Her hand lingered on the lock of her door. Finally, she understood where the ache in her heart came from. She might be jealous of the woman he was about to marry. She was jealous because that woman could rightfully claim that warm and broad chest for the rest of her life…

Yang Jing Zhi blew off the flickering candle. With the moonlight creeping into the room through the window, she groped her way to her bed. As soon as she kicked her shoes away and took off her coat, she was pulled into a familiar and warm embrace.

She had stiffened for a moment then struggled to break free.

“Don’t move. Let me hold you.” Liang En Zai took a deep breath, locking her in his embrace.

“Let go of me!” What was he doing? He was about to get married and now he was on her bed. What did he think she was? Yang Jing Zhi was embarrassed and indignant as she struggled harder.

“Xi Xi…” His low, husky voice lingered by her ear. “I didn’t know you would be so sad when I didn’t tell you this. I thought…”

“You thought what? I’m not upset at all. You’re nothing of mine. It doesn’t matter to me if you’re getting married or not!” She tried to suppress the wetness in her eyes. She was so afraid that if she were careless for a moment, the strong defense she had built through harshness would be broken easily.

“Why doesn’t it matter? It’s true that I want to get married and you can not avoid this.” He held her moving arms and kicking legs, stole a kiss from her lips, and poured his last words into her mouth. “I want to marry you, Xi Xi. No one else. Only you.”
