At five in the morning, Yi Xiangnuan was standing in a suite on the 22nd floor of the Yiting Hotel. The floor-to-ceiling windows were covered in ink. There were also warm street lamps on the street, and there was not much traffic.
Standing here, she could overlook the entire scenery of City M.
This city was still the same as she remembered. The bustling scene was like a drunken dream. Some people obtained power and influence here, while others obtained wealth here and lived in luxury every day. Some people became phoenixes, while others fell into the abyss and became ants.
Yi Xiangnuan smiled bitterly. She should have gotten used to this kind of life long ago. At the very least, her life now was much better than the five years she spent in prison.
The door was opened and Jing Yan walked in in her high heels. Her chestnut-colored wavy hair was smoothed out and two young girls followed behind her. She instructed the people to hang the things in the room skillfully and then said to Yi Xiangnuan,""Miss Yi, the gown is ready. Please change.”
Yi Xiangnuan came back to his senses and his gaze fell on the snow-white wedding dress behind them.
Oh right, tomorrow was her big day.
The person she was going to marry was the head of the R.C Corporation, Su Chen. Outsiders all said that he was talented and capable. At a young age, he was able to take charge of his own affairs and take on the responsibility of a family. In the eyes of thousands of girls in City M, he was the model of Prince Charming. He simply satisfied all their imaginations of the man of their dreams. Yi Xiangnuan sighed inaudibly." I know."”
She walked over to take the next piece of clothing and turned around to change into the room. However, the moment she closed the door, she heard a few people whispering outside.
"I really don't understand why Mr. Smith likes her. At most, she's just good-looking-"
"That's right. Mr. Smith can have any kind of woman he wants. Why would he have to marry a down-and-out lady? It's really a loss for Mr. Smith.”
Jing Yan glared at the two of them when she heard that, and they immediately fell silent.
Yi Xiangnuan did not say anything and closed the door.
Her fingers caressed the hem of the wedding dress in her hand inch by inch. It was delicately embellished with sparkling diamonds. The style of the wedding dress was custom-made by Su Chen from Europe. Every single needle and thread was handmade overnight. She lowered her head to look at the ring on her ring finger. For a moment, her mind was filled with thoughts. She still remembered that when the details of the gown were revealed, it attracted the envy of countless people. They all said that Su Chen was deeply in love with his fiancée and that he treated her so well.
It was true that she was not worthy of this marriage.
The Yi family used to be one of the top families in City M. Yi Xiangnuan was also a princess born with a silver spoon in her mouth. However, five years ago, the Yi family had fallen overnight. Her father had fallen from a building and died. In the eyes of outsiders, she was a heartless ingrate who had stolen all the assets of the Yi family and fled overseas, leaving the adopted daughter of the Yi family, Jiang Xinran, to face this cruel wave.
However, only she knew that all of this was not true.
She didn't go overseas, but was sent to prison under Jiang Xinran's instigation. No one knew how Yi Xiangnuan had been living in the last five years. After she was released from prison, she wanted to find Jiang Xinran and ask her about it, but it was only then that she found out that Jiang Xinran had been by Su Chen's side for so many years. In this lifetime, she no longer had the face to face Su Chen. She had no choice but to look for her old friend, Ji Qianmu, in hopes that he could help her find Jiang Xinran. However, she did not expect Su Chen to come instead of Jiang Xinran. He dragged her into the car without any explanation, his gaze vicious." Yi Xiangnuan, how dare you come back?”
After five years, when Yi Xiangnuan saw Su Chen again, they were already strangers. He covered her with his broad body, and with a suffocating sense of oppression, he stopped beside her ear." You left quietly for five years, and now you're here. Is it because you were lonely in a foreign country that you came back to look for Ji Qianmu?”
"No!" Yi Xiangnuan retorted, but the moment he met his eyes, he retreated in shock.
Su Chen pressed on until she had nowhere to go. He leaned his back against the wall and said,""We're all adults. There's nothing to argue about. However-" He leaned in a little closer, and his cold lips were almost pressed against Yi Xiangnuan's ear. She could even feel his hot breath clearly, as if it carried a numbing electric current that swept through her entire body." Why did you have to look for Ji Qianmu? What he can give you, I can also give you. I guarantee that it will be better than him. Don't you know that?”
As he said that, his kisses fell like a storm, but it was like a beast venting its anger by biting. It was daytime, and they were still in the car. The driver in the front seat lowered his head. Yi Xiangnuan kept avoiding him and protected his body with both hands." Su Chen, you can't do this to me!”
"Can't?" Su Chen grabbed her disobedient hands." Come on, you used to like me very much. Now that you're rejecting me, don't you think it's like playing hard to get?”
" No…Su Chen, let me go…Let me go, please…"
Yi Xiangnuan's fair little face scrunched up, his eyes misty as he begged for mercy in a low voice.
She couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. Sure enough, after that day, their relationship was no longer the same as before. The Su Chen of the past would never treat her like this.
Su Chen looked at her expression and lost interest. He sat back down and tidied up the crumpled corner of his suit. He threw a red velvet box in front of her expressionlessly. His expression was cold as ice. He ordered in a formal tone,""Yi Xiangnuan, wear this and marry me.”
She opened it and looked at the huge diamond on the base. She was a little stunned and didn't say anything. Su Chen smirked." What? You're not happy?"
He suddenly lost his patience and ignored her. He pulled her hand over and roughly put the ring on her hand. He pinched her wrist so hard that it hurt. She couldn't help but gasp." Hiss-"
"Pretending?" Su Chen snorted and brought her closer." Let me tell you, Yi Xiangnuan, you don't have a choice. You have to think about the consequences from the moment you lied to me. Don't you want to be Mrs. Smith? I'll satisfy you. From now on, I want you to open your eyes wide and see how I, Su Chen, get it back from you. You can forget about leaving my side. Even if I die, I will chase you to the netherworld. You can only be my accessory.”
Yi Xiangnuan suddenly recalled the time when the two of them had played house in the courtyard. He had weaved a ring from the flower tassel and said in a childish voice that he wanted her to be his bride. During their graduation trip back in university, he had gone hiking and camping, but they had unexpectedly lost contact. After she heard the news, she had gone to look for him without hesitation. She carried him on her back as she limped across the muddy mountain road. The two of them wore wet clothes and were frozen by the mountain wind. When the east gradually turned white, he hugged her and solemnly promised that he would never marry her in this life.
He had fulfilled this promise now, but the love he had for her had long been replaced by hatred.#
