Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C85
When she heard this, she really wanted to laugh. He really was like a child, a domineering and unreasonable child.
“Alright, I have to think about it. It’s getting late, you should go back. Bring your dog with you.”
Chi Yinan left very straightforwardly, leaving her a little tired facing the lights in the room.
Her answer was always delayed, Chi Yinan hadn’t asked again since he had asked her about it two days ago. Su Xiao Yun didn’t come looking for her, and very soon, the Su Family changed hands, and Lin Jingsheng became the majority shareholder. Su Xiao Yun came down from his position as the head, holding enough shares for him to live his life peacefully.
This result was good for everyone, but they didn’t know if Su Xiao Yun was satisfied.
Her life had returned to normal once again. Once she got off work, she would go shopping with her colleagues, eat lunch with them, watch a movie, and live a full life. When Kieran and his boyfriend, Xiao Bei Ting, returned on vacation, they would immediately send her an invitation. When she received the invitation, she would smile.
It was close to the end of the year, when the company was busiest. She worked overtime for a few days, and when she came back at night, she would subconsciously look at the opposite door, but there was no one there. She calculated that they hadn’t met for a week, and she was a bit annoyed that she remembered the time so well.
The year before Kieran’s wedding, she had suspected that they were in such a hurry to get married. She could not hold back her curiosity and asked her if he was pregnant, but she just gave him a big smile.
The day of Kieran and Xiao Bei Ting’s wedding, there had been a big blizzard in the city. The sky was covered with snow, and the wind was blowing gently. When they looked through the window of the hotel, they saw the colorful neon lights brightening up the place, making it even more beautiful.
She was standing at the window. She wore a lavender dress and a piece of fur over her shoulders. She must have been standing at the window for a long time. Her fingers were cold as she closed the window and entered the room.
Kieran was surrounded by the makeup artist, and she was standing behind him, looking at the beautiful bride in the mirror. She had never seen her before.
“Warm Jin, your makeup is too light.”
When she was finished, she turned her head to look at the makeup on her face and pulled her to a seat beside her. The makeup artist walked over to help her put on her makeup.
“Don’t be too strong.”
“Wan-Jin, there are a lot of elites at the scene today. You have to take a good look.”
Kieran knew what she meant, but he did not say anything. He just pulled up the hem of her dress, which was a long dress with small diamonds on it. It was bright under the light, and she could not remember what she had looked like when she had married Chi Yinan. At that time, neither she nor Chi Yinan had the mood to properly arrange a wedding.
Today, when the update ended, the Nine Saints went back to work.
“Let’s go, Xiao Bei Ting should be getting impatient.”
She was standing in front of Qin Guan, so she couldn’t see her expression. She could only see Xiao Bei Ting lowering his head to kiss the side of her face, and with his slender fingers, he took her hand and also left a kiss on the back of his hand. Then, he suddenly carried her by the waist and walked towards the hall.
The wedding ceremony was not that grand as it had been. There were no media outlets, luxury cars or tens of millions of diamonds, only a couple watching from the spotlight. She thought that Kieran was lucky to have met the right people in his prime and returned to his original spot.
Chi Yinan’s seat was arranged at the table next to Su Wenjin’s. Coincidentally, there was a huge pillar beside his table, blocking his view of the woman.
He had no choice but to switch places with the person beside him, so he could see her.
Su Wenjin was shocked when she saw Chi Yinan at the wedding. She had refused Kieran’s invitation to come with her, and he seemed to know what she was thinking. She turned her head away with a grunt.
The exchange of courtesies had already started on the stage, and then there was the kiss. The phone in her handbag kept vibrating. When she took it out and saw that it was Chi Yinan, she quickly hung up and turned it off.
After a while, a hand appeared on her shoulder. She turned around and saw Chi Yinan standing behind her, the light from the lanterns shining down on his handsome, smiling face. Most of the people present were focused on the rookies on the stage, so no one paid attention to Chi Yinan’s actions.
“Chi Yinan, what’s your reason for doing this now?” She finally caught a straw and refused to leave while hugging the crystal lamppost that protruded from the corridor. She stared at Chi Yinan with her big, watery eyes under the glass light, which made Chi Yinan’s heart skip a beat.
“Warm Jin, you can feel behind your back. It’s not too late to say that now.” Chi Yinan let go of her hand and suddenly bent his body over, wrapping her in his arms. She touched her back and her face changed.
The greatest highlight of the dress was the design on the back of the skirt, which was tied up with strings to support the entire dress, and now that the straps had unknowingly opened, if she opened the other two straps, the dress would probably be in danger. Thinking of this, Chi Yinan lowered his head, purposely brushing against her forehead, and moved his slender hands from the wall to her back, pressing her whole body against his chest.
“Chi Yinan, what are you doing?”
“Don’t move, or else I won’t guarantee if the dress will fall off your body.” When Chi Yinan got up, he would definitely eat Su Wenjin tightly. With his chin on her shoulder, he opened his big hand and placed his palm on her smooth back. His fingertips grazed her skin, causing her to quiver and bury herself in his embrace, while biting her lips, “Hurry up.”
“Hurry up and do it?” Chi Yinan hadn’t planned to stay here, but her words “hurry up” hit his heart. It was so soft and tender …
It tickled his heart, causing it to tremble involuntarily.
“Chi Yinan, don’t act like a hooligan.”
“So what if I did?”
As he said this, his hands had really untied all the straps. The clothes in front of him had obviously fallen off, and she was so scared that she came closer to him. She really was sticking close to him, one hand reaching for the straps behind, but she was holding the straps in her hands.
A few people would occasionally walk past in the corridor and glance over at her. Her face was thin, and she was too shy to raise her head, so she was completely buried in Chi Yinan’s arms. He used a suit to wrap her in his arms, his big hands stroking behind her, and only tied her up after a while.
“Warm Jin, your blushing is really bad.” After tying them up, she immediately came out of his arms. She didn’t look at him anymore and walked back angrily on her high heels. Chi Yinan stuck his hand in his pocket and followed her back.
When they went back, the wedding was already at its end. She and Chi Yinan had walked to the front of the stage together, and Chi Yinan was right behind her. She thought about it and walked towards the main table, where her parents were sitting, and her seat was also there. Quite a number of young girls were standing in the northwest corner, trying to catch the flowers. Chi Yinan was already leaning against a pillar of flowers, holding a mobile phone in his hand.
After the wedding, Kieran and Xiao Bei Ting had run off somewhere. They were probably afraid that they would make a ruckus in the bridal chamber, so they had planned to run away. She went to the parking lot with her high heels and bought a cheesecake from the bakery on the way back, and when she got back, she received a call from Lin Jingsheng.
Su Wenjin didn’t even have time to change her clothes. When they got to the hospital, the old man was already out of breath, holding on to his breath as he stared blankly at the ceiling. She pushed through the crowd and entered, gasping for breath.
Chi Yinan raised his head to look at the woman beside him with reddened eyes, but he didn’t say anything as he continued to lower his head. In his hand was the old man’s other hand, and he was looking at her with a patient gaze.
“Grandfather.” She called out again. The old man blinked, but he couldn’t say anything. He could only tremble as he put their hands together. Then, he pursed his lips and looked at the people in the room. Finally, he lowered his gaze.
She held his hand with all her might, not letting him fall. The crying sounds in the room had already started, it was the voice of her mother-in-law Gu Huiru, and the man’s suppressed voice. Chi Yinan and the others held hands, and they threw themselves into the old man’s embrace, trembling, not saying a single word.
She reached out to grab him, patted him on the shoulder, and hugged him from behind. Soon the doctor came to remove the pipe from the old man’s body, covered him with a white cloth, and pushed him away. Chi Yinan fell to his knees on the ground, holding onto him tightly.
