Marriage First, True Love Later-Chapter 88

In the hotel room, this place had temporarily become Lin Li’s Maiden Home. Lin Li had already put on her bridal makeup and changed into the pure white dress that represented holiness. She sat on the bed with a faint smile, her face brimming with happiness and satisfaction.

Anran stood to the side and watched as the bride’s assistant fiddled with Lin Li’s hair. A faint smile appeared on her face. Seeing her best friend getting married, she had an indescribable feeling at the moment.

He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Time really flew by quickly. The young girl from back then was now going to be married. Thinking back to the ten years that she and Chengxiang had been together, she really couldn’t tell whether the two of them, who originally made people envious and jealous, were good or bad after what had happened a while ago.

Lin Li’s stubbornness made her feel an indescribable heartache, but it seemed to be worth rejoicing that Chengxiang was still a responsible man. Although they had been in a relationship for ten years, in the end, they only ended up in a marriage due to responsibility, which was a very sad thing, this was Lin Li’s choice. This was her persistence in her ten-year relationship. What could others say?

The bride’s assistant fixed the veil on Lin Li’s head and looked left and right to see if it was symmetrical. Finally, she put a crystal diamond Crown on her tall bride’s hair bun.

Anran looked at her, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up into a smile. Today was the most important day for her, and she didn’t want to think about anything else. The only thing she could give her was her blessing.

He stepped forward and looked at her seriously. He said sincerely, ” “Lin Li, you’re so beautiful today.”

Lin Li also laughed, unlike in the past when she laughed whenever she wanted to. Today, she lightly pursed her lips, and her face was filled with happiness that could not be hidden.

Anran looked at her, and as she looked at her, her eyes turned red. She half-squatted and took her hand. She tried to smile, but the tears in her eyes were about to fall.

“Aiya, what are you crying for!” Seeing Anran cry, Lin Li hurriedly tried to find some tissues for her, but the tissue box was placed on the bedside table some distance away from her. She wanted to grab it, but she couldn’t reach it no matter how hard she tried. She lowered her head and saw Anran’s tears falling even more happily, so she quickly said, ” “Aiya, an Zi, why are you crying?” He reached out to wipe the tears off her face.

The bride’s assistant pulled a tissue from the bedside table and handed it to Anran. Anran reached out to take it, but she couldn’t stop her tears from flowing. She held Lin Li’s hand tightly and sobbed as she said seriously, ” “You have to be happy, you know? you have to be happy!”

Lin Li looked at her, and her emotions were also touched by her. She couldn’t help but nod, and her eyes became misty. Seeing that tears were about to fall, the bride’s assistant at the side hurriedly called out, ” &Quot; Oh my God, you can’t cry. If you cry, your makeup will be ruined. Look up at the ceiling. &Quot; The bride’s assistant was a little nervous as she spoke. She quickly took out a tissue from the box and handed it to Lin Li. The bride’s makeup was the most difficult to put on. If it was ruined by crying, it would be troublesome. Moreover, it was already quite late. The groom might arrive soon.

Lin Li raised her head and forced back the tears that were about to fall. She took the tissue that the bride’s Secretary handed over and held it in her hand. She looked at Anran with a smile and said, ” it’s all your fault. If I’m not pretty later, I’ll let you off. &Quot;

Anran also smiled and wiped the tears on her face with a tissue. Looking at Lin Li’s neck, which was now empty, he suddenly remembered the pearl necklace he had bought for Lin Li at the mall yesterday afternoon. He quickly took out the necklace from his bag, opened it, and asked the bride’s Secretary if this necklace could be used to match Lin Li’s bridal makeup.

The bride’s Secretary looked at the simple necklace for a long time before she reacted. She nodded repeatedly. Of course, it’s great. The pearl necklace was simple but generous. The elegance made her look even more noble. It was perfect for Lin Li’s bride makeup today. It was even better than the diamond necklace they had prepared before.

Lin Li looked at the necklace in her hand and asked in surprise, ” “Where did you get this necklace?”

Anran personally put the necklace on Lin Li and said, ” “Not mine, it’s yours! This is the wedding ceremony I’m giving you.”

Lin Li looked down at the Pearl on her neck in a daze and said, ” &Quot; I only gave you pajamas that cost a few hundred Yuan, and you actually returned me such a big pearl! &Quot;

Speaking of the pajamas, Anran couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her and say, ” &Quot; you’d better not talk to me about that nightgown you gave me again. I’ve already thrown it into the cold Palace, and it’ll never be able to rise again! &Quot; Just because the pajamas were her wedding gift, he had wanted to throw them away several times, but in the end, he kept them. However, they were kept in the very last layer of the closet!

Lin Li tactfully shut her mouth, a sly smile hanging on the corner of her mouth. She mumbled in a low voice, trying not to let her hear it, ” “If it wasn’t for me, would you and your Mr. Su be so loving? you really don’t repay kindness with kindness.” Don’t think that I didn’t hear her talking on the phone with Mr. Su in the middle of the night!

Father Lin and mother Lin came in from outside, carrying tangyuans for Lin Li and the others to eat. Anran looked at the time. Without eating, she took the bridesmaid dress and went straight into the bathroom to change. Then, she asked the bride’s Secretary to touch up her makeup.

Lin Li only took a few bites of the tangyuan and couldn’t eat anymore. She frowned and shook her head.

Mother Lin was worried that she wouldn’t be able to take it if she didn’t have time to eat during the wedding. In addition, Lin Li’s pregnancy was a special situation, so she held the tangyuan and advised, ” &Quot; Xiao Li, eat more. You didn’t eat much last night. You’ll be exhausted at the wedding. &Quot;

Lin Li shook her head, half-covering her nose, and said, ” &Quot; mom, quickly take it away. I’m about to vomit from the smell. &Quot; There were longans in the tangyuans. He didn’t know what was going on. He used to like eating dried longans, but now he couldn’t even smell them.

Hearing this, mother Lin quickly walked away with the tangyuans, but she couldn’t help but worry when she looked at her daughter. Although Lin Li had eaten these few days, she vomited after eating. It was as if she hadn’t eaten at all. She was really worried that her daughter’s body couldn’t take it. “Xiao Li, what do you want to eat? mom will make it for you.”

“Mom, I’m really not hungry.” Lin Li said, shaking her head.

Mother Lin was helpless. She turned to look at father Lin and shook her head. In the end, he could only ask Anran to help pay attention to Lin Li when the time came.

Lin Li nodded in agreement. She looked at Lin Li, a little worried.

At around nine O ‘clock, Lin Li’s sisters and colleagues also came over one after another. A group of women surrounded the room, and the atmosphere became lively. Not long after, the groom’s welcoming team also arrived. A few women blocked the door and asked the groom for a red packet, and there were all kinds of embarrassment and jokes.

Anran didn’t go out. She sat in the room and looked at Lin Li. She reached out to hold Lin Li’s hand, and Anran could clearly feel that Lin Li was trembling because of her nervousness.

Anran looked at him with a smile and said jokingly, ” you’ve been married for so many years. Today is just a formality. Do you have to be so nervous? ”

Lin Li didn’t refute and said with a serious face, ” &Quot; it’s not the same. Today’s meaning is different. &Quot; As he spoke, he looked at Anran. &Quot; a wedding is sacred to me. It’s only today that I’m sure that I’m going to marry this man and entrust my life to him. &Quot;

Anran held her hand tightly and smiled without saying anything.

When Chengxiang’s best men successfully broke through the bridesmaids ‘Army, Chengxiang finally came in from outside with a bouquet of flowers.

Today, Chengxiang was still as handsome and elegant as ever. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were looking straight at Lin Li. His gaze was gentle and focused. Anran pushed him to the side in a timely manner, and Chengxiang half-knelt in front of Lin Li. He took the diamond ring that had been prepared long ago from the best man, opened it, and looked at Lin Li affectionately.”Lin Li, marry me!”

Lin Li looked at him and stared at him fixedly. She didn’t say anything for a long time. She had waited for this sentence for ten years. From the moment they started dating, she had always longed to marry him and be his most beautiful bride. Today, she had finally waited for it!

Chengxiang didn’t force her. He only looked at her deeply, waiting for her to nod.

Lin Li only felt the tip of her nose turn a little sour. All the sadness and unhappiness from before had become unimportant. All the wavering and uncertainties had disappeared at this moment. Tears unconsciously flowed out of her eyes. Looking at him, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up into a smile. The fatigue at this moment was blissful and happy. She slowly raised her hand and gently opened her mouth to say the words that she had longed for for 10 years in her heart, ” I am willing! &Quot;

With Lin Li’s ” I’m willing, ” warm applause rang out around them. In their joy, some people even whistled to liven things up.

Chengxiang took a while to react, and his chest seemed to heave a sigh of relief. It turned out that he had also been so nervous that he had forgotten to breathe. Although he knew that she would definitely say “I do,” he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous, and the ring in his hand was only held tightly by him.

&Quot; groom, you’re so happy that you can’t react in time. Hurry up and put the ring on the bride. She’ll be your wife once she puts it on! &Quot; Seeing that Chengxiang didn’t make a move, someone shouted from behind him.

Someone shouted, causing everyone to start cheering.

Only then did Chengxiang react to everyone’s cheers. He couldn’t hide the smile on his face and held the ring nervously. He looked at Lin Li and called out, ” “Honey!”

This ‘wife’ made Lin Li unable to control her emotions. She reached out and covered her mouth tightly, not letting herself cry out. She looked at him and kept nodding in response.

Chengxiang’s eyes were also a little red as he looked at her reaching out to take her hand. His eyes were slightly moist as he said, ” “Honey, I’ll put the ring on for you.”

Lin Li was sobbing uncontrollably and kept nodding.

Chengxiang reached out and took her hand, taking the ring out of the box. Looking at her, he solemnly and carefully placed the ring on her hand.

When Anran saw this scene, her nose started to sting, and she felt like crying. She turned around and raised her eyes to force her tears back. When she turned her head back, Chengxiang had already put the ring on Lin Li’s ring finger and pinned the bride’s brooch on Lin Li’s chest. Lin Li’s eyes were red as she looked at Anran. Anran quickly stepped forward and took the ring box she had placed on her hand for her. She opened the brocade box and took out the man’s ring from the box. Then, she reached out and pulled his hand over. Her nose twitched slightly, and she put the ring on his ring finger.

After the solemn ceremony was over, the best men and bridesmaids around them all cheered.

“Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!”

“Kiss him! Kiss him! Kiss him!”

No matter how cheerful and generous she was usually, Lin Li still couldn’t let go at this moment. She looked at everyone with a little embarrassment, but Chengxiang wasn’t embarrassed at all. He stood up, held her face with both hands, and leaned over to kiss Lin Li on the lips.

&Quot; one minute, one minute. Everyone, start the countdown! &Quot; Some people started to liven up the atmosphere.

Anran stood to the side and looked at Lin Li’s blissful expression. She finally felt at ease. Perhaps only a choice would be the best for Lin Li. Just like the size of a shoe, only the person wearing the shoe would know if it was suitable.

Everything went very smoothly. After laughing and joking around, Lin Li’s surprised voice and everyone’s exclamations were heard. Chengxiang picked Lin Li up by the waist and carried her out of the room. He carried her into the elevator and finally carried her directly to the wedding car that came to pick up the bride.

Anran and the other bridesmaids then took another car. The wedding team first took them directly to the new house in the suburbs that the Cheng family’s parents had prepared for them. In the new house, Lin Li and Cheng Xiang, under the arrangements and instructions of the officiant, served tea to the Cheng family’s parents and kowtowed according to the customs of a Chinese wedding.

The two old men smiled and distributed two-person bags to them.

Then, Lin Li and Anran, along with several other bridesmaids, were directly arranged to stay in Lin Li and Cheng Xiang’s new room. They waited for the elders of the Cheng family to arrive, and then everyone went to the hotel together.

A few people helped Lin Li change into the second dress in the room. It was the pure white wedding dress that Anran had specially tried on at the wedding dress shop that day. When they arrived at the hotel later, Lin Li would be wearing this dress and walking arm in arm with her father. Her father would then hand her hand directly to Chengxiang.

The few of them sat in the room for a while, and it didn’t take long for everyone to arrive. Then, the group drove to the hotel where the wedding would be held.

Lin Li was still sitting in the wedding car with Cheng Xiang, a faint smile on her face. Today, her face was filled with happiness.

On the other hand, Chengxiang’s expression had been a little off ever since he got into the car. He would turn his head to look out the window from time to time, and even the smile on his face was a little awkward.

Lin Li naturally noticed the change in the people around her. She asked with some worry, ” “What’s wrong? did something happen?” Looking at him like this, she had a faint bad feeling in her heart.

Chengxiang suddenly retracted his gaze from the window and turned to look at Lin Li. He laughed dryly and shook his head, saying, ” “No, no,” He shouldn’t think too much about it. He was going to hold his wedding with Lin Li soon. The only person he was paying attention to today was her!

Lin Li followed his line of sight and looked out, but she didn’t see anything. He just nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.

When Lin Li and the others arrived at the hotel, the wedding company had already set up the entire venue. Flowers, balloons, and red carpet were all there.

Because the wedding ceremony had yet to begin, Lin Li, Anran, and the others were directly arranged to stay in a small private room in the hotel. Father Lin and mother Lin had already arrived there. When they saw Lin Li enter, they hurriedly asked her to sit down. They were a little worried about whether she was thirsty or hungry.

Lin Li shook her head and felt like going to the toilet.

This private room also had its own bathroom, which was quite convenient, so Anran accompanied Lin Li into the bathroom. She reached out to hold Lin Li’s slightly exaggerated skirt so that it would be more convenient for her to solve her personal problems.

After everything was done and she had washed the water, Anran was about to take Lin Li out when Lin Li looked at Anran. She opened her mouth to say something, but then closed her mouth.

Anran could tell that something was wrong with her. &Quot; what’s wrong? ” she asked.

Lin Li looked at her. She wanted to say that she felt that Cheng Xiang’s expression and reaction when they arrived at the hotel from the Cheng family’s Villa were a little off, but after opening her mouth for a while, she finally nodded and smiled at her. &Quot; nothing. &Quot; In fact, Lin Li felt that she was about to be nervous during this period of time. She was always suspicious and suspicious about whether or not Chengxiang was true to her. However, the moment she saw Chengxiang half-kneeling and putting the ring on her hand, she could feel that he was just as nervous as she was. When he asked her if he was willing to marry her, he was also sincere. Even when he affectionately called her wife, she could clearly feel that his attitude towards this marriage was the same as hers. Perhaps it was just as he had said. He had always known who she was going to spend the rest of her life with and had never thought of leaving her.

Perhaps she was just overthinking it. At this point, what else could happen?

“What’s wrong?” An ran looked at her worriedly.

Lin Li smiled and shook her head. She only said with an excuse, ” “I’m a little nervous. I wanted to ask you if you were nervous when you married Mr. Su, but I just remembered that you only got your marriage certificate and didn’t have a wedding at all.”

Anran believed her and reached out to hug her. She comforted her, ” &Quot; it’s okay, it’s okay. We only have one chance in our lives. It’s normal to be nervous. It’s okay, it’ll be fine in a while. &Quot;

Lin Li nodded and smiled at her.

After sitting in the private room for about half an hour, the bride’s Secretary rushed over to inform them that the music had already started outside and the ceremony was about to begin. She asked Lin Li to get ready to enter the hall from that aisle, arm in arm with father Lin, when the music changed to the wedding march.

Lin Li nodded and looked at her father nervously. In fact, father Lin was also a little nervous, but he still patted his daughter’s hand and told her to relax.

An ran and the other bridesmaids went directly into the venue and sat down at the table reserved for them, while mother Lin was directly brought to the Cheng family’s parents ‘table.

The venue’s decorations were very lively. The red carpet in the middle was laid from the emcee’s stage to the entrance of the venue. A little further from the entrance, there was an arched door with many pillars on both sides of the red carpet. There were many colorful hydrogen balloons floating on the ceiling, and the background of the emcee’s stage was a large LED multimedia screen. The screen was currently showing all kinds of old and new photos of Cheng Xiang and Lin Li in the past ten years, some of which were about their daily lives, and some of which were about to travel. Of course, most of the photos were wedding photos of the two of them. Playfulness, cuteness, happiness, deep love, sweet kisses, and so on.

When the wedding march was played, the people present slowly calmed down, and everyone’s eyes looked at the door where the bride was going to come in later. The people present seemed to have forgotten that Cheng Xu, who was standing under the emcee’s stage and at the other end of the red carpet, had received a text message from his cell phone in his pocket at this time. Cheng Xu’s expression changed drastically. Something seemed to have happened. Chengxiang hurriedly went forward to discuss with the emcee if they could postpone the ceremony and not turn on the music for the time being. However, before the emcee could reject him, Lin Li was already holding father Lin’s arm from the other end of the red carpet and slowly walking towards him with a smile.

At that moment, his phone rang again. He quickly opened it, and his face turned pale. He couldn’t care about anything else. He turned around and ran towards the exit of the venue.

Seeing this, the emcee quickly got the sound engineer to change the music. As soon as the music was changed, there was a sudden commotion below the stage. No one knew what had happened, and even Lin Li, who was holding onto him, was a little stunned. She stood in the middle of the red carpet in a daze, looking at the man who was rushing towards her, unable to react for a moment.

Chengxiang strode over to Lin Li and stopped in front of her. He didn’t have time to explain and only said, ” &Quot; Lin Li, wait for me here. I’ll be back soon. &Quot; With that, he turned around to leave.

Lin Li was a little dumbfounded by his words. Who could tell her what the situation was now?

The Cheng family’s parents, father Lin, and mother Lin were also a little confused by this situation. Father Cheng hurriedly called out, ” “Chengxiang, where are you going!”

Cheng Xiang stopped in his tracks. &Quot; dad, mom, I have something urgent to attend to. I’ll be there in a bit. Let’s hold the ceremony later. &Quot; He was really afraid that he wouldn’t make it in time. Xiaoxiao had just sent him a text message saying that if he didn’t go over, she would jump from the top floor of the hotel. She meant what she said! He didn’t dare to risk her life. What if this was true? Therefore, he had to go to the top floor to take a look and then bring her down.

“You bastard, what’s more important than your marriage?” Cheng Zheng’s father said sternly. He walked around the table and said, ” “No matter what it is, we’ll talk about it after the wedding!”

“Dad, I really can’t explain it. I’ll come down immediately.” With that, he turned around and ran away.

At this moment, Lin Li reacted and hurriedly called out to Chengxiang’s back, ” “Chengxiang!” Wasn’t he going to marry her? What’s going on if he just left like this!

Chengxiang didn’t turn his head and hurriedly ran out of the venue. He was afraid that if what Xiaoxiao said was true, he wouldn’t dare to imagine the consequences if he had been a few minutes late!

Before the crowd could react, Lin Li also threw away the bouquet in her mouth and ran out of the venue closely behind Chengxiang.

When the bride and groom ran away at the same time, the crowd slowly reacted and turned to discuss.

Anran, who had finally reacted, was afraid that something had happened to Lin Li, so she quickly got up and left her seat. When she saw father Lin, she quickly said, ” I’ll go and take a look. &Quot;

Chengxiang ran out. Just as he was about to take the elevator to the top floor, he saw Xiaoxiao in the lobby of the hotel holding a phone and smiling at him. She called out to him in a clear voice, ” brother Xiang. &Quot;

Chengxiang turned his head and stared blankly at Xiaoxiao, who was standing less than ten steps away from him. Then, he turned his head and looked at the elevator, whose numbers were still changing. It took him a while to react, and he strode over to her. &Quot; why are you here?! &Quot;

Xiao-Xiao held his hand affectionately and said coquettishly, ” “Do you really want me to be on top? do you really want me to jump down from there?”

Chengxiang looked at her, then at the phone in his hand, and asked, ” “You’re lying!”

Xiao-Xiao didn’t think so. She took his hand and said, ” “Why else would you come out?”

“You’re so silly!”

“Chengxiang!” Lin Li caught up to them at this time. Seeing them holding hands affectionately and standing together, she felt as if something was knocking on her chest. He was a little unsteady on his feet, and his breathing was also a little heavy from the intense running just now.

Cheng Xiang turned his head and wanted to walk over to Lin Li, but his hand was tightly held by Xiaoxiao. He saw Xiaoxiao mumbling and shaking her head at him, as if saying that she wouldn’t let go!

“Xiaoxiao, let go.” Cheng Xiang was a little angry. He really thought that something had happened to her. If she didn’t let him, he wouldn’t have left Lin Li and ran out of the wedding.

“I’m not letting go.” Xiao-Xiao didn’t take his words as anger at all. Her hand was tightly holding Cheng Xiang’s, and she turned her head to smile at Lin Li with a triumphant smile on her face.

Lin Li only felt as if her heart was being pricked by thousands of needles. It turned out that imagining and knowing was one thing, and actually seeing it with her own eyes was another! She had imagined him with other women, even more intimate than holding hands like this, but the pain in her imagination was not as painful as the pain she saw in reality!

&Quot; Lin Li … &Quot; seeing Lin Li’s pale face, Chengxiang knew that she must have misunderstood.

Lin Li walked over to him in a daze and looked at them expressionlessly, but her tears couldn’t help but fall. In the car earlier, she had felt that something was wrong with him, but she did not expect him to leave on the spot at the wedding!

Standing in front of them, Lin Li’s eyes were fixed on the two of them holding hands. She had once pestered Chengxiang like this and acted like a scoundrel. Every time this happened, Chengxiang would always lovingly pinch her nose and gently kiss her lips before agreeing to all her rude requests! She used to think that she was the only one who could enjoy this position, but she didn’t expect that other women could do the same.

Ha, that’s right, how could she forget? that position was never hers. She was just a replacement for that woman. Because he couldn’t get it, he looked for her to replace it. She had always been a replacement, a shadow of another woman! He had never loved her. Even if they had been together for ten years, no matter how much he loved her, the place in his heart was never hers! She was the one who had been clinging to these feelings and was unwilling to let go!

&Quot; Lin Li, it’s not you. &Quot; Cheng Xiang looked at her and wanted to explain, but Lin Li interrupted him.

“Have you really never loved me?” Lin Li looked at him and asked, tears flowing down her face silently.

&Quot; it’s not like that. I’m Yingying-” Cheng Xiang was interrupted again, but this time-it wasn’t Lin Li who interrupted him-it was Xiaoxiao-who was standing beside him.

&Quot; brother Xiang has always loved me. Look, I only need to send him a text message. I don’t even need to call him, and he’ll come running out. Don’t you think that’s an obvious answer? ” Xiao-Xiao looked at Lin Li and said smugly.

“Xiaoxiao, don’t talk nonsense!” Chengxiang rebuked. He reached out to shake her hand off, but she held it tightly and couldn’t shake it off no matter what!

Lin Li nodded. Yes, the answer was so obvious, but she still asked such a question. Was she asking for humiliation?

However, she was really unwilling to give up. Ten years of love, from the age of 18 to 28, the most brilliant years of a woman’s youth, she had given all of it to the man in front of her. She loved her so much that she was willing to be someone else’s shadow. She loved him so much that she could even follow him without a title. She thought that time would win over everything. She thought that ten years of time, even if there was no deep love, even if there was still a figure in his heart, would at least make him have a trace of affection for her and pity. She was even pregnant with their child at this moment, and the two of them continued on together!

She closed her eyes painfully and allowed the tears to roll down her face. She looked at the man in front of her and asked, ” “Chengxiang, do you still want to go back and marry me?”

Without waiting for Chengxiang to speak, Xiaoxiao, who was beside him, immediately said, ” “You’re such a clingy person, but Xiang-GE doesn’t like you at all. It’s so obvious that you want me to make it so clear. Just now, Xiang-GE ran out of the wedding for me, isn’t that enough to prove everything you want to know? What else do you have?”

“Enough, Xiaoxiao!” Chengxiang was really angry. He scolded Xiaoxiao sternly, then suddenly flung her hand away and said coldly,”Please shut up, you have no right to speak!”

Xiaoxiao was a little frightened by him like this. Chengxiang had always been gentle since he was young. He had never blushed for anything, nor had he spoken to her loudly and harshly!

Chengxiang didn’t look at her and turned around to look at Lin Li’s pale face. A part of his heart felt like it was being torn apart, and it hurt so much that he couldn’t breathe!

Lin Li looked at him and asked again, ” “Chengxiang, do you still want to marry me?” If his answer was yes and she had been foolish for so many years, then it would be fine even if she was foolish again. She really could not let go of a 10-year relationship just like that!

Chengxiang looked at her and firmly nodded his head! It was like a promise. &Quot; let’s get married. I won’t leave you! &Quot; He had never thought of leaving her. Perhaps in the beginning, he only thought of her as Xiaoxiao’s substitute, but as time went by, he knew that she was just her and never someone else’s substitute. No matter how similar her hairstyle was, even if she deliberately imitated other parts, she was still herself. He had never been wrong about her! It was very comfortable to be with her. He could laugh loudly and eat without caring about his image. They had been together every day for the past ten years, and she had become a part of his life. So if she left, it wasn’t that she couldn’t live without him, but that he couldn’t live without her!

“Lin Li!” Anran ran over at this time. Seeing the three of them confronting each other, she quickly went to Lin Li’s side. Lin Li turned around and smiled at her indifferently, saying, ” “It’s fine now. Let’s go back and continue the wedding.” With that, he turned around to leave.

Behind him, Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted at Chengxiang, ” “Brother Xiang! Didn’t you love me since we were young? you even gave me that confession letter the day before I left, and in the letter, you said that you’ve liked me since you could remember. Do you not love me anymore? Big brother Wei Jun doesn’t want me, don’t tell me that you don’t want me too?”

Hearing this, Chengxiang stopped in his tracks and closed his eyes in pain. His hands, which were hanging by his sides, were tightly clenched into fists.

Seeing that he didn’t leave, Xiao-Xiao continued, ” “Brother Xiang, I know that you’ve always loved me. I was stupid in the past and didn’t know that you were the only man who would love me wholeheartedly. But now, I understand.” As he said this, he walked over to Chengxiang, stretched out his hand, and tightly held Chengxiang’s hand. He continued,”I don’t have anything now, I only have you, brother Xiang. If you don’t want me, what should I do?” As she said this, tears fell from her eyes like beads. &Quot; brother Xiang, don’t leave me. Don’t leave me, okay? ”

Chengxiang clenched his hands tightly and didn’t turn his head. He couldn’t even take a step forward.

Upon seeing this, Anran looked at Lin Li worriedly. She saw Lin Li biting her lip tightly, and her lips trembled uncontrollably because of her biting. Her hands were tightly clenched by her sides, as if she was trying to restrain something.

“Brother Xiang, I know you’ve always thought of her as my substitute. In fact, you only have me in your heart, right? otherwise, you wouldn’t have known that I’d come back, and you didn’t even come home to see me. Why don’t you admit it when you clearly like me so much? You clearly don’t love this woman, but you married her because you feel guilty. Isn’t it because of love that a marriage can last long?” Xiao-Xiao clutched Chengxiang’s hand tightly as she spoke.

Chengxiang closed his eyes in pain. He didn’t deny that he had really hoped for Xiaoxiao in the past, and even now, the mainland still had a childhood obsession with her! She could not deny this.

Xiao-Xiao hugged Chengxiang’s waist from behind and said in a slightly emotional voice,”Xiang-Gege, don’t leave me, okay? I really have nothing left. If you still don’t want me, I’ll really die. Do you really want to see me die?”

Anran couldn’t stand it anymore. Just as she was about to go up and question him, Lin Li suddenly turned around, walked up to him-and pulled Xiaoxiao-who was behind Chengxiang, out. She raised her hand and shouted-” slap-Xiaoxiao! &Quot; A slap ruthlessly landed on that tear-stained face!

Lin Li’s strength was obviously very strong. Xiaoxiao’s cheek immediately swelled up from her slap, and the red handprint on her fair face was a little shocking.

Lin Li rushed forward and grabbed Xiaoxiao. She was a little agitated and said, ” &Quot; how could you do this? you didn’t even look back when you abandoned him. We’ve been together for ten years. What right do you have to stick your foot in our relationship? let me tell you, he’s my husband now and the Father of the child in my stomach! &Quot;

Xiao-Xiao didn’t react until now. She covered half of her face and cried, ” “Y-y-you … You actually hit me!”

&Quot; why can’t I hit you? you’re snatching my husband away! &Quot; Lin Li roared at her, her emotions very agitated. As she spoke, tears couldn’t stop flowing down her face.

Chengxiang and Anran also only reacted now after Lin Li slapped them. Anran quickly stepped forward to support Lin Li, who was trembling a little.

Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, pulled Chengxiang and cried, saying aggrievedly, &Quot; brother Xiang, she hit me. He actually hit me. It hurts, it really hurts! &Quot;

Lin Li’s emotions seemed to have been pushed to the limit, and she was completely out of control. She broke free from Anran and went forward to pull Xiaoxiao, who was next to Chengxiang, away. At this moment, she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

Xiaoxiao was a little scared. She instinctively thought that she was going to hit her again, so she quickly hid behind Chengxiang.

At this time, Cheng Xiang also reacted. He subconsciously thought that Lin Li was going to hit Xiaoxiao again, so he quickly stood in front of Lin Li to block her. &Quot; Lin Li, calm down and listen to my explanation. &Quot;

“I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen, I don’t want to listen to you making up those lies to coax me. I know you’ve always seen me as her shadow, you’re not allowed to cut or dye your hair! I’ve been with you for 10 years. I thought that you would love me a little, even if it was just a little. Even if it wasn’t, it didn’t matter. We’re finally going to get married. I’ve waited for 10 years and it’s finally here. But why did you have to do it today? why did you have to run away from our wedding today? even if you told me yesterday that you didn’t want to marry me, even if you rejected me in the morning and said that we weren’t going to get married, why did you have to do it just now? why did you have to do it when my father held my hand and came out? I ran away from the wedding in front of so many friends and family. Chengxiang, can you be any more ruthless to me?” Lin Li was a little excited as she yelled at Cheng Xiang.

At this time, father Lin, mother Lin, and the Cheng family’s parents rushed over from the venue. When they saw this scene, none of them immediately went forward.

Chengxiang couldn’t say a single word after being questioned. He knew that she was so agitated that she couldn’t hear anything. He went forward and wanted to pull her away, but he didn’t know where she got the strength to push him away. He saw Lin Li walking toward Xiaoxiao with a face full of anger. Cheng Xiang thought that she was going to do something to Xiaoxiao, so he subconsciously reached out to grab Lin Li’s hand and pulled her back with force. However, because he used too much force and didn’t catch Lin Li in time, Lin Li lost her balance from the external force. Then, she took a few steps back and fell heavily behind her.

“Lin Li!” Anran cried out in alarm. She watched as she fell backward, but it was too late to go forward!

“Lin Li!”

“Lin Li!”

Behind her, father Lin, mother Lin, and the Cheng family’s parents all cried out at the same time and hurriedly ran over to Lin Li’s side. However, they were too far away, and everything was in vain.

No one was able to help Lin Li up. In the end, everyone could only watch as Lin Li was heavily thrown to the ground, her butt landing on the ground!

“Ah!” The intense pain made Lin Li scream. It was as if something was slowly pulling out of her body. She wanted to grab it, but she was powerless. Her body slowly lay on the ground.

Chengxiang was the first to react. He hurriedly ran forward to help Lin Li up. He was so flustered that he didn’t know what to do. He could only hug Lin Li tightly and call out softly by her ear, ” Lin Li, Lin Li … &Quot;

Lin Li raised her hand with some difficulty. She wanted to touch his face, but in the end, her hand drooped down weakly. Under the pure white dress, blood slowly flowed out, dyeing the pure white wedding dress that symbolized holiness red.
