Chapter 29 - Whose Heart Is Crying? (6)

On the night before the wedding, Lan Jinyao made another phone call to Fu Bainian. “Fu Bainian, you’ll come, right? After this wedding, if you still insist on being with that woman, then...”

She was silent for a moment before she whispered, “Then, I’ll comply with your wishes.”

On the other end of the phone, Lan Jinyao could hear Fu Bainian’s steady breathing. After a good while, he finally said, “Good! I’ll come. You have to remember your promise, otherwise...”

“Hehe,” Lan Jinyao chuckled. “You don’t have to threaten me. Also, don’t worry about me breaking my promise; I’ll keep my word. I’ve already said it: after we’re divorced, we’ll no longer be friends and only be strangers to each other.”

Fu Bainian’s voice was hoarse as he responded, “Alright!”

Lan Jinyao managed to add a few more words before Fu Bainian hung up the phone. “You must come!”

Fu Bainian didn’t answer her and hung up.

That night, Lan Jinyao lay on her bed and found it impossible to sleep. Tomorrow was her wedding day. Perhaps, after the wedding, Fu Bainian would choose not to believe her and still decide to be with Lan Xin.

She told herself that it didn’t matter because even if she bumped her head against the wall with all her strength, she wouldn’t be able to change what was fated to be. For her, the best result now was that she could marry him, and if nothing else, she was happy that she’d get that wish granted. In the future, regardless of whether or not she fell in love with someone else, she’d at least walked into a wedding hall with the first person she’d ever liked.

The next day, Lan Jinyao was awakened by the sound of her phone. Mother Fu’s tone was full of excitement as she said, “Meimei, hurry up and come join me. The customised wedding dress has been sent over.”

“Mum, isn’t this all happening a bit too fast?”

Her heart was beating like a drum. She’d always felt that things wouldn’t go this smoothly, despite personally getting a confirmation from Fu Bainian last night that he would be there.

“This is indeed a bit rushed, but what other choice do I have? To think that, even after getting married, that worrisome son of mine would actually get into a scandal with another woman. If I don’t announce to the whole world now that you’re our Fu family’s daughter-in-law, I think it’s highly probable that wave after wave of women would approach my son.”

Mother Fu’s voice was filled with admiration, and she sounded thrilled.

Lan Jinyao chuckled. “I understand, I’ll head over now. Fu Bainian, he...”

“I called him; he’ll be here soon! Don’t worry, how could those foxes delay my son?” Mother Fu said vigorously.

Lan Jinyao was relieved. Nevertheless, when she was freshening up, her heart suddenly had a bad premonition, but she tried to ignore this strange feeling.

However, with her longing for love, she decided to sacrifice her self-respect and moved forward with the wedding; regardless of her misgivings. Unfortunately, this would ultimately result in her becoming a joke to everyone.

On this day, the sky was bright and cloudless, and Lan Jinyao was currently sitting in a taxi on the way to the hotel. Typically, this was a bustling road with traffic delays ranging anywhere from thirty minutes to one hour. However, today, the car was steadily making progress towards its destination with plenty of time to spare. It was as if God was opening up a path for her.
