659 On Your Wedding Day (2/2)

”Ying! Watch your words!”

Ying shook her head, ”Yo! Do you really want to have this conversation on your wedding day? Just what the hell are you even thinking?” Taking a step forward, Ying held her wrist but her expressions didn't change as she enunciated on each word, ”I warned you before. You can hurt me all you want but I won't take it lying down if the one getting hurt is Ah-Li.”

”Ah! Such love, how heartwarming!” Ying felt herself getting another headache because of how Qiu Meihui sounded. ”But such a pity that the same love is not returned. Aww... Poor you!”

Ying's hand clenched into a fist. She so wanted to punch her face right now.

”Your boyfriend seemed to have kept you very busy, eh?”

Both Ying and Qiu Meihui looked up at Xiao Li who was staring at Ying.

”I can't believe you missed the wedding ceremony with your best friend. But then again, love before friends, eh.” He took a pause before adding, ”But shouldn't you cover it up?”

Ying who had been frowning at his words, suddenly had an epiphany as her hand instinctively went up to cover the mark on her neck. What the fudge! She actually forgot all about it! And she even flipped her hair back dramatically. What an idiot!

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Li laughed at her, ”I think everyone already saw it.”

Ying shrugged her shoulders as she did before Han Bohai and casually repeated herself, ”I've got nothing to hide.”

Her response made Xiao Li roll his eyes as he said, ”Of course, you don't. How can the might Yan Ying have anything to hide? She'd rather make everyone blind than hiding anything herself.”

Ying felt proud as she replied, ”Thanks for the compliment, Ah-Li. And congratulations!” She looked at Qiu Meihui who was fuming for some reason. ”You finally married the person you always wanted to.”

Qiu Meihui wrapped her hands around Xiao Li's arm as she looked at Ying provokingly, ”He did. That's called destiny.”

Ying burst out laughing. ”Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. You really have no idea about destiny at all.”

”What are you implying?”

Before Ying could open her mouth, Xiao Li threw her a warning look, ”Ying! Go and say hi to your grandmother.”

Ying exhaled a long breath, ”Fine.”

Only when she walked away, Qiu Meihui let go of Xiao Li's arm and said, ”Don't get the wrong idea.”

”I've stopped getting the wrong ideas,” replied Xiao Li calmly.

Qiu Meihui looked at the side of his face with a complicated gaze. She was pretty sure that Xiao Li didn't react like he used to do. In fact, even when she ignored him, cursed him, or did whatever else, his behavior never changed with her. But lately, he had been very distant and polite around her like a stranger. Perhaps, it was the anxiousness that his behavior caused within her that urged her to propose this marriage.

And when Xiao Li agreed to the marriage without any hesitation, she was certain that she was overthinking. She still mattered just the same to him. Or so she thought.
