Chapter 31 - Wedding Day (2/2)

“Great! My friends are all concerned about you. But they haven’t had a chance to see you since you were released from the hospital.” Luo Nan kissed Dong Ci on the forehead before he went out.

Dong Ci had gone to Luo Nan’s company a few times, and also attended some parties with Luo Nan. She didn’t get along with those madams. Some of them wore an air of superiority and the others always tried to ingratiate themselves with her. Dong Ci thought that Luo Nan’s secretary, Shang Linglong, was more suitable for such an occasion because she was a very smooth character and never offended anyone.

When you were alone at home and looked at yourself in the mirror, you would draw a conclusion: “I’m strikingly good-looking” or “I’m so ugly”.

Dong Ci decided to go to Windflower Manor. There was an old saying in China, “A monk may run away, but the temple remains.” Perhaps she could find him at his villa.

“Buds on the trees are a sign of spring. I keep looking for Chen Qi. Is it a sign of my love for him? Do I really love him?” Dong Ci asked herself.

When she arrived at Windflower Manor, she was a bit surprised because there were few people in the manor. It looked desolate.

A mean-looking security guard with his face covered with pimples, stopped Dong Ci and said, “Miss, please register first.”

“Does Chen Qi still live here?” asked Dong Ci.

The security guard looked her up and down and asked, “What’s your relationship with him?”

“He’s my friend,” Dong Ci answered. She looked at the winter jasmines blooming in the courtyard. The flowers flickered in the breeze like a beautiful woman swaying her hips, charming and vulgar.

“Don’t you know that he’s dead? The newspapers have reported the event. At the end of last year, the crime investigation department seized his usury company. The government workers searched his villa and found many corpses in his basement. They had died in various ways. He’s a cruel psychopath, a killer! How did you become friends with him?” Hearing his words, Dong Ci turned pale.

She asked, “How did he die?”

“He was executed by shooting. He deserves to die! Because of him, other villas in this manor become unmarketable. Many occupants said that this manor was haunted and they were often awakened by the sound of crying in the middle of the night. So they have moved away one after another. Because of him, I’m going to lose my job,” the security guard said with emotion, as his saliva splashing on Dong Ci’s face.

“Thank you.” Dong Ci wiped her face and left.

Walking in the street, she quietly shed tears.

‘I once thought we would meet again, but death took you away. I will never see you again. Our story ends in the same way as in the previous life. It was in the Song Dynasty when we first met. However, we forgot each other after reincarnation. We are now separated by death again. Will you forget me again? I once had a feeling we might have met before. But I didn’t recognize you. In the previous life, you didn’t recognize me when I was wrapped in the mole furs. Master, we have made the same mistake.

My wedding will take place on May Day. By then there should be a lot of people coming to my wedding.’

Lost in deep thought, she found herself at the door of her house.
