He hesitated, hesitated, and finally nodded, "Okay...but it's best not to show up."
"I know." He smiled bitterly, "As long as I look at her, I will leave..."
She is already happy. As long as he takes one last look at her, he will leave, because she already has someone by her side who can protect her for the rest of her life. Does she still need him? No... no more.
Even if she never thinks of him again in the future, even if she never knows that there is someone who loves her silently behind her back, just pretend that he has never appeared in her world.
Since it is the past, let it be in the past...
What was left to him, even if it was just a memory, he was satisfied...
…
"Li Ying, how long does it take to leave the venue?"
Xixue sat in front of the dressing mirror, looked at the figure reflected in the mirror, and asked lightly.
"Xuan'er, have you really decided?" Li Ying put down the hand that was combing her hair and asked a little worriedly. This affects many people, and this is not just Xuan'er's business. This cannot be taken carelessly.
"..." Xixue smiled, turned back, held Li Ying's hand, "Don't worry."
"Okay..." Li Ying nodded lightly, "Then I'll go out and take a look."
After Li Ying left, Xixue's eyes dimmed, and he just smiled very faintly, with a hint of bitterness and sadness.
She sighed.
She owes everyone more than she can repay in this lifetime.
Now that you have decided, what reason is there to regret it?
…
"Brother." Li Ying gently opened the door and walked in.
Jiang Xunxi was leaning on the sofa, with his eyes closed and his brows slightly wrinkled. It seemed that some disturbing problem was troubling him.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Li Ying walked up to him and waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"Nothing." Jiang Xunxi opened his eyes.
"Is there a problem?"
"No." Jiang Xunxi replied, "It's about to start. Go get ready."
"Do you think this is a good thing?" Li Ying suddenly asked this question.
Jiang Xunxi was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his lips, a little painful, "As long as she is there, it will be fine. No matter what."
"But you know. Xuan'er..." Li Ying stopped here because she saw Jiang Xunxi standing up and he didn't want to talk about this issue.
Jiang Xunxi then walked out.
Before walking out of the door, he lowered his voice and said, "I love her..."
So is it okay to do anything?
Li Ying looked at his back.
She has already said what she can say, brother and Xuan'er, maybe they can really be happy, as long as there is no trouble today, that will be fine.
…
At the engagement ceremony, the music was playing melodiously. Clusters of aristocratic ladies and young gentlemen were gathered together, chatting and laughing. Some were drinking juice, some were eating snacks, and some were dancing.
Dancing. It’s so lively.
Suddenly, the music suddenly stopped. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the stage.
At this time, an old man with a majestic and kind expression walked out of the gorgeous stage, with a smile on his face.
"Today is the engagement ceremony of my daughter Xi Zixuan and Master Jiang Xunxi. Everyone is welcome to come and celebrate."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into vigorous applause.
Then, a pair of beauties walked out on the stage. The woman was wearing a white lace dress, with two big eyes as clear as glass shining on her delicate little face like a glass doll, and wearing a flower ornament on her head. The whole person looked gorgeous and elegant.
Quite aristocratic.
The man was wearing a suit, which showed off his erect figure. He had an extremely charming face, a smile on his lips, and a pair of golden eyes that shone brightly. His golden hair was so dazzling in the sun.
As soon as he appeared, everyone was shocked.
The man is so handsome that the sun and moon eclipse him, and the woman is as beautiful as a fairy.
In everyone's eyes, they are so compatible.
Jiang Xunxi held Xixue's arm and walked step by step to the center of the stage.
In the audience, Li Ying watched with a complicated look in his eyes. But his father and grandfather were smiling happily.
"Let me tell you, Dad, Xuan'er will be a very good wife." Jiang Xunxi's father smiled and patted his grandfather on the shoulder.
"Yes." Jiang Xunxi's grandfather nodded, smiling kindly, "Xuan'er, you are indeed very good."
"That's not to say that my son knows how to pick people."
"That's still my grandson." Jiang Xunxi's grandfather retorted with some dissatisfaction.
"That's my dad!" Xiaoyi interjected.
He was immediately stared at by two people.
Ye Ningxuan gloated, "You kid, it's your own fault."
"You!" Xiaoyi was furious.
Li Ying had long been accustomed to this scene, and sighed helplessly. These two people, both elderly, were still so noisy. And the other two looked like children who had not grown up. Really~~ However,
She was in no mood to break up a fight now.
She is worried...
Li Ying's eyes swept around the venue, and suddenly she saw the figure in the corner. Her heart tightened. He was still here, as long as he didn't show his face, which was what she promised him.
The people over there lowered their peaked caps and stared at the stage. As they looked, there was deep sadness in their eyes.
Xixue still couldn't help but feel nervous. Although she was used to seeing so many people staring at this place, this was not the main reason. The main reason was because of the evildoer next to her.
Her eyes searched the audience, but she didn't see the silver hair. Somehow, she felt a slight sense of loss in her heart.
However, she saw the man she called her brother, and her former friend Ning Shuangxin. Next to her was Qi Yichen. Although he was wearing big sunglasses, it did not affect his temperament at all.
Her thoughts were entirely in the audience, and she didn't listen to a word of the host's chatter on the stage.
Until, grand and romantic music started playing.
She just reacted.
"Now, please ask Master Jiang Xunxi to bring the engagement ring to Miss Xi Zixuan."
Jiang Xunxi and Xixue were facing each other. Xixue looked away from her in a panic because she was afraid of meeting Xunxun's affectionate gaze.
Just when she was about to put it on, Xixue suddenly turned her head and caught a glimpse of the figure in the corner.
His pupils couldn't help but widen, and he pursed his lips.
