Chapter 29 (2/2)
Lu Man felt that it was funny. He had chosen to be with another woman but still he wanted her to wait for him patiently.
What was he thinking? Was there something wrong with him?
She did not regret loving him. She was just sad to see that her past lover had become like that. She did not know why he had turned out like that.
It was a western-style wedding.
Lu Man had mixed feelings when he saw both Mu Yunhai and Wang Yunxi exchanging their vows at the altar.
It was not pain.
She just had a little bit of feeling.
It was a slight feeling.
She felt suffocated.
She wanted to leave the crowd.
Dream Manor was indeed a beautiful place. There were fresh flowers on both sides of the road when she walked down the small boulevard. She felt better now when she smelled the scents of the fresh flowers.
The violet flower bed in front of her was so dazzling and captivating.
She was quite familiar with the flowers. Everybody in Haicheng was familiar with that kind of flower. It was the city flower of Haicheng.
Suddenly, she saw a young couple standing in the middle of the flower bed. The young man picked a flower and helped the young girl to wear it on her head. The young girl smiled shyly.
“Manman, you’re so beautiful. Will you be my wife in the future?”
The image changed and the young couple were much mature now. They did not appear so childish now. But, it was still the same flower bed. He knelt down in front of her and pulled out a silver ring. “Manman, I cannot afford to buy a diamond ring for you now. But, I’ll be able to buy one for you one day. Be my wife and I’ll love only you for the rest of my life. I’ll make you the most happy woman in the world!”
She still smiled shyly.

She touched her ring finger subconsciously. Although the ring was not there anymore, it still left a mark there.
If anyone asked her what was the most frightening thing in the world, her answer would be time.
The time went by so fast that it could change a lot of things.
No matter how deep their love for each other was, it still could not escape the cruelty of time.
People change every day.
No matter how beautiful their lives are, it would not remain forever.
She heard that people should learn to let go instead of striving to gain what they yearned for.
She did not understand that before. She understood it now.
If she did not know how to let it go, she would always carry that baggage with her. How could she gain something else if the past remained with her like heavy baggage and she was suffocated by it?
So, she needed to let it go. She needed to learn to let it go so that she could be more relaxed.
She touched the mark on her ring finger. She let go of her hand and told herself that the mark would disappear one day no matter how deep it was.
When she turned away and wanted to head back, suddenly a person came and covered her mouth from the back. Her eyes widened. She struggled vigorously but soon she lost consciousness.
Pei Xiuyuan went to look for Lu Man after casually chatting with some important people. But, she was not seen among the crowd.
He frowned when he called her cellphone and it was turned off.
Someone else told her that Lu Man was seen walking toward the boulevard.
He went there immediately.
He could not find her there either. He saw a high heel among the flower bed when he turned away from the flower bed.
That high heel belonged to Lu Man!
He picked up the high heel and he soon grew cold.
