664 Single for Life 8 (1/2)
Su Zhinian had always thought that he was a mentally strong person, and as such, he had believed that he could survive the news of her marriage; he had believed that he could attend her wedding with smile; he had believed that he could greet Qin Yinan and Song Qingchun in person and congratulate them on their union.
However… those were just his beliefs.
In the end, he realized, he was not as strong as he had believed. If anything, he found himself to be quite fragile.
He could not even survive the news of her marriage much less attending her wedding in person.
All this while he had been trying his best not to fixate on her marriage, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape the news. The news of her wedding was practically on the lips of everyone he met, including even his own mother.
He knew he should not have manipulated that chance encounter, but his heart had won out in the end. When he saw her in the wedding gown, his world had shattered into a million pieces. After Cheng Qingchong left, he had pulled out all the presents that he had bought her over the years and opened them up one by one. The memories from the past had gradually flooded his mind.
He had searched her for ten years. The night he had lost sleep over her, he wrote down a statement: ”The most heart-breaking moment in the world is when I've been looking for you, but you have already forgotten me.”
From then on, he had made a silent wish deep down in his heart. I've expended three lifetimes to find you, and now, I will use another to make you my wife.
Yes… before finding her, the biggest driving force of his life had been to relocate the girl he had met when he was eight. After finding her, that driving force had changed to become making her his wife…
Making her his wife…
Making her his wife…
Making her his wife…
However, the girl he had been trying to marry as his wife was going to marry someone else in another twenty days.
Finally, he could hold it in no longer. He raised his hand to hold his forehead, and with his shoulders shivering, he started to weep. The wheel of fate kept on turning slowly but surely. He was not even given the chance to pursue his dream, but she had already become the love that he could not touch in his life.
