115 Is She Rushing to Hell? (2/2)
——
Ye Xiaotian and Bai Ranran's wedding was set to be held on the 26th of March of the following year.
News of their wedding made the headlines as soon as it was verified by the Ye family.
Sun Weiwei heard about the news in the morning.
Refusing to believe her eyes, she repeatedly read through the morning newspapers for a total of three times while lying in bed. Her sleepiness vanished at the instant that she processed the information in her head.
”Sis Weiwei, it seems Bai Ranran had brought the wedding forward, in case something unfortunate happens in between. She must've gained the approval of Mr. Ye.”
Sun Weiwei sat up straight and tore the newspapers into shreds, snapping in frustration, ”This wretched woman. It's almost new year, she must be planning to get married as soon as Brother Xiaotian recovers. Is she rushing to hell!?!”
”From the way I see it, Bai Ranran doesn't seem like one to be trifled with. Moreover, she's the heiress of a wealthy family. Mr. Ye's mother actually fancies her, despite how sickly she is, and Mr. Ye treats her exceptionally well. Sis Weiwei, I doubt you'd stand a chance, especially since there's only so little time left,” said her assistant, lowering her voice towards the end of her sentence.
”Since my chances are slim, I'll have to think of a way out then,” said Sun Weiwei as she reached for a pack of cigarettes on the bedhead. Her assistant hurriedly handed her a lighter as soon as she retrieved a cigarette from the packaging.
She lit up the cigarette and took a puff before placing it between her fingers. ”I really wonder what Brother Xiaotian is thinking. Why would he even want to marry a sickly weakling like her? She might just die in the midst of doing the deed. Look how pale she is, even the blind can tell how fragile she is,” Sun Weiwei hissed, overwhelmed with frustration and annoyance at the thought of their marriage.
”Yeah, I don't get it either.”
”Bring me my clothes.”
Upon her command, her assistant quickly turned around to bring her some clothes. After a meticulous round of selection, she picked out a set and handed it to Sun Weiwei. ”Sis Weiwei, where are you headed to?”
”Where else could I possibly go? To the hospital, of course,” said Sun Weiwei as she got out of bed in one fluid motion. She then proceeded to get dressed and do her makeup, which took an hour.
After buying breakfast while on her way to the hospital, she quickly strode along the corridor of the hospital while clad in a face mask and a hat, with her head hung low.
She instructed her assistant to wait at the seats along the corridor while she opened the door of the ward gently and entered.
There were no other visitors in the ward. Sun Weiwei sat beside his bed and said smilingly, ”Why are you alone, Brother Xiaotian?”
”My Mother and Ranran aren't here yet, while the nurse and bodyguards are outside. It's not like you didn't see them when you entered,” he snapped coldly, seemingly upset with her.
”Brother Xiaotian, you seem to be in a foul mood. What's wrong? Did something happen?”
”Nothing, I'm just getting really sick of staying here.”
”I read the news this morning, about your wedding with Sis Ranran. Why has it been brought forward?” she asked, trying to sound him out.
”It doesn't matter, actually. A few months won't make a difference.”
”You're already getting married, yet I still don't have a boyfriend. After you get married, you'll be wrapped around Sis Ranran's finger. By then, it may be difficult for me to meet you again,” she said with a sigh.
”Why would it be difficult?” asked Ye Xiaotian.
”Because Sis Ranran will be keeping a close eye on you, of course. I really wish you weren't getting married,” Sun Weiwei said dejectedly, with seamless expressions.
”I'll still get to enjoy my freedom, even after marriage. Besides, Ranran won't be so uptight and strict with me, just rest assured.”
”Brother Xiaotian, how's your recovery going?” Sun Weiwei asked while forcing a smile.
”It's going great. I forgot to ask you, what have you been busy with lately? Filming TV dramas and movies, or what?”
”I'm filming a reality show. It's so exhausting. Thankfully, there's a script for me to follow. I wouldn't know how to cope, otherwise.”
