Chapter 18

This caught Wen Ning off guard.

She had thought about the misunderstanding of any of the passersby on the scene, but hadn’t considered suffering from Zhou Yinchu’s misunderstanding.

His head-on questioning caused all the people on the spot to gather around and stop, and Wen Ning’s feet were like cement, unable to move a single step at the moment.

The opening of the luncheon hall is imminent, and the bride’s hand bouquet is still clutched in her hands, she could not not be anxious.

“You wear the shoes I gave you and turn around and marry another man?”

His anger did not subside, but rather dripped out in a more visceral way.

Zhou Yinchu’s eyes flirted with the end of his eyes, letting his anger consume him: “Wen Ning, do you have a heart or not?”

How long had they been apart, only a week, and she had already abandoned herself for another man without a second thought?

Yes, there were plenty of men in the world, but that didn’t mean she could turn her back on them.

Compared to her leaving, choosing another man over and over again was a weight Zhou Yinchu could never bear in his life.

Wen Ning felt a moment of social death.

All the gazes around her focused on her and Zhou Yinchu, as if she was the scandal of the day, she was really an immoral bride, choosing to wear the shoes given by one man, yet marrying another without any burden.

At this moment, she was really depressed.

Of course, compared to the misunderstandings and accusations of the bystanders, Zhou Yinchu’s cross-examination regardless of the reason made her unbearable.

Jiangcheng was too small in the end.

It was only because of this that she had been humiliated to such an extent.

The only way she can solve the problem is still hard to talk to the indignant man in front of her: “This is not my wedding, I came to participate in someone else’s wedding, just missing a bridesmaid ……”.

Quietly stationed in the elevator entrance of the man at this moment finally learned to breathe smoothly.

After a long time, Zhou Yinchu said, “I’m sorry.”

He did not get on that elevator.

The rare opportunity to meet originally made him feel instinctively angry, going to suddenly cherish the special meeting at this moment: “I misunderstood.”

In the last second, the man with the tense expression was relieved in this second.

He suggested: “Perhaps, you can introduce your friend to me.”

As if the just happened to be the sound of cross-examination and reproach is not enough to talk about, clouds of smoke over, he quickly adjusted his state and accepted her reasonable explanation.

However, the little bit of reluctance that showed under Wen Ning’s eyes easily made Zhou Yinchu expect the worst.

It had been a week since they had met.

It was precisely because of the distance-free proximity that made this week seem extraordinarily long.

Zhou Yinchu said in a deep voice, “Is it hard to believe that your friend who is getting married is just a front, and you’re really going to tie the knot with another man again?”

The slender and beautiful woman sighed helplessly, “Please, stop talking nonsense.”

In the lobby, gazes from all directions annoyed Wen Ning like ants on a hot pan.

Obviously, she had agreed to someone else’s kindness, rightfully attending her friend’s wedding, because of this to match the bride’s likes and dislikes, changing into this white soft and bright cheongsam, but not so much that she had done anything wrong.

Now I do not know why involved in a do not go to self-evidence can not be innocent of the strange circle.

Wen Ning was puzzled.

And Zhou Yinchu on the shamelessness of the body is also at this time at a glance to show out, let her anxious, he can ignore their respective identities, in favor of a superfluous explanation.

He even made a show of following her along to the wedding feast.

“I can’t take you with me,” Wen Ning looked embarrassed, but was unwilling to continue to climb with him, “Anyway, I’m not going to get married, you’re the one who misunderstood me, and I don’t have the time to testify against myself with you.”

She dragged the cart loaded with wedding candies and looked at the other bridesmaid’s fading back in distress.

“It’s fine, I have plenty of time, so just busy yourself for now.”

Zhou Yinchu almost immediately gave up on the idea of having a meal with Mr. Zhang’s group of old men, thinking that a partnership with him should take less than a meal to maintain.

He snatched the trailer from her hand and pushed the cart of wedding candies for her, truly looking like someone who had come to help out in an empty space.

However, Wenning didn’t want to.

Obviously, Xiao Yang and Che Che were staying in that banquet hall, and she didn’t know how to explain to them the relationship between herself and Zhou Yinchu. And it was impossible for today’s bride to not be gossipy at all.

She had to grudgingly deal with him, even though she was never powerless to do so:

“Zhou Yinchu, we have our separate lives.”

Wen Ning’s resistance was overflowing, expressing her unwelcomingness to his intrusion into her life; it wasn’t that Wen Ning was unkind, but she didn’t want to be eye-catching and shameful at this little Fan’s wedding, and make her friends lose face over it as well.

I’ve seen those who brought new lovers, but I haven’t seen those who brought old lovers when attending a wedding banquet.

But life is uncontrollable, and they can’t stay frozen outside the hotel lobby, much less look at each other like this forever.

The bride finally remembered her bouquet of bouquets that had been left out before the auspicious time, and hurriedly sped in the direction of Wen Ning.

This is the first time Wenning saw a bride in a wedding dress running wildly, and the object of running wildly is not the groom, but himself.

This dramatic scene was close at hand.

But right now, she didn’t have the pleasure of flirting with this one thing.

She couldn’t keep her focus off of her awkward relationship with Zhou Yinchu.

Even as Bride Fan Yijin scrambled for time at the moment, she didn’t forget, “Ningning, your boyfriend? You can eat at the table together later, our family’s drinks table has a lot of space, adding an extra chair is no big deal.”

Wen Ning had not yet had time to deny it, but the man had already answered with a “thank you”.

Then he revealed a bright, triumphant smile.

Zhou Yinchu had come to the wedding banquet in such a shameless manner. The man who participated in it didn’t get easy satisfaction, but rather, he got the better of her and sat beside her.

Fortunately, Li Che, as the flower girl, was now guarding Little Fan outside the door, and would have to make his entrance later, so that he wouldn’t be able to see at a glance that there was an additional man by her mother’s side.

Wen Ning whirled around and admonished, “Later, you’re not allowed to talk nonsense in front of my son.”

For a moment, she didn’t know how to explain this extra stool by her side with Xiao Yang, Wen Ning wanted to explain a few times, but felt that she simply couldn’t give a flawless answer.

Just lowering her head, she frowned and said, “This is my old classmate.”

Xiao Yang was of the nature that she would believe anything she said, never being suspicious, only muttering in a low voice, “Sister Ning, your old classmate looks quite handsome.”

That’s right, no matter how Zhou Yinchu’s character was in private, his handsomeness was intuitive, impeccably handsome.

She thought that in the future, she must teach Xiao Yang well, teach her to understand what is called “human face and beast heart”.

On the table, there are always three boxes of cigarettes, the opposite side of the love of taking advantage of the man took the best box, and then, towards Zhou Yinchu threw the cheapest box, even do not want to have any association with him Wen Ning vaguely feel the air permeated by the unhappiness, according to the theory that Zhou Yinchu for the best box of cigarettes on the table is always disdainful of it.

But no one had ever thought that he would actually accept it secretly, without any pretense of depth, nodding his head in an unusual way.

The man seemed to realize that the unusual cigarettes were not worthy of Zhou Yinchu’s aura, and personally went to another table to ask for a box for Zhou Yinchu.

There were always flattering faces everywhere.

Zhou Yinchu did not refuse.

Wen Ning was incredulous.

He seemed to be in some kind of mood, and all the little good and bad incidents were not enough to affect his mood.

Until Zhou Yinchu’s big hand reached out to himself, Wen Ning finally realized at this moment that Zhou Yinchu was still that bottomless man.

It had to be said in an ambiguous and unpleasant statement, “You look good in a cheongsam.”

“Be honest.”

For the world under the dining table, Wen Ning nonchalantly stepped on him with the sharpest heel of her shoe, but she did not see any pained expression from Zhou Yinchu’s face.

The joyful man promised, “I’ll try my best.”

This wedding finally officially kicked off, built lush rainforest style theme of the wedding is still beautiful, and that full of infinite vitality.

The chiaroscuro effect created by the fake palm fronds and the large screen was also unexpectedly intriguing.

The white wedding gowns trailed by the beautiful tail veil, walked on the platform belonging to them.

Being in the middle of someone else’s wedding, occasionally she was unconsciously touched by other people’s happiness.

It was clear that right now was the time when she was having the biggest mood swings of the day, but the man had no intention of letting her off lightly, he had to come up to her ear and spit into the contours of that ear:

“Do you still want to get married?”

Wen Ning answered him without thinking, “I don’t want to.”

The question he threw out was like a cannonball that had exploded the moment he spoke it.

However, an unrealistic thought grew in her head, it was hard to believe that Zhou Yinchu was more than just playing around, had he really considered marriage?

But soon enough, a woman who had polished herself in society would not be so naive as to aspire to such an impossible wedding.

She realizes that this might be another one of his crowning statements as a bait to attract her, and fortunately, her reply is timely enough.

“What, afraid of grimacing me to death?”

Wen Ning couldn’t figure out what exactly Zhou Yinchu was talking about.

He was like a monster who didn’t have to think rationally at all, and in the midst of the many problems straddling them, he would even bring up marriage out of place.

It also caused her to recall the old story of Li Yuanzhe’s death.

Wen Ning was annoyed, “If you die, you die, what’s it got to do with me?”

“Have you ever thought of a possibility, suppose you follow me, and after we get married, I die,” Zhou Yinchu seemed to be talking about a business as if he was on cloud nine rather than exploring life and death, as he threw out what he thought to be a bait, as he said also, “All my money would be yours. ”

It sounds like a complete and utter lie.

After all, who doesn’t know that good people don’t live long, and woe betide them for a thousand years.

Wen Ning glared at him.

The ceremony ended, and before the applause around him dissipated, Li Che returned to his place beside his mother. Wen Ning almost immediately gave him a bowl of soup, and also gave Xiao Yang a bowl of soup, soon, Wen Ning realized that the man in front of her was so talkative, it would be better to have a bowl of soup as well, and she familiarly “took care” of everyone around her.

Although Zhou Yinchu, who was included, got the last bowl, it was not difficult to see that she still had a place in her heart.

“Mom, this is …….”

Precocious children were always keenly aware of the emotions of adults, for example, Li Che sensed her mother’s discomfort at the moment.

The small act of his mother serving soup to others fell into his eyes, and it more or less had a certain impact on him at this moment.

One must know that even when dad was alive and mom and dad were in love, it was always dad who did these insignificant little things for his mother.

“It’s an old friend of mom’s.”

Wen Ning subconsciously tried to excuse herself, “The bowl of West Lake Beef Soup at the dining table just now was going to be automatically turned around, so mom thought to help him with a bowl in passing as well.”

Instantly, Zhou Yinchu let out a careless laugh, as if Wen Ning’s explanation darkened all of a sudden, with no way to cover up her lies in plain sight.

“Children.”

Zhou Yinchu had never been a fan of children, and in a rare moment, he faced another timid child rather patiently and did not utter any accusatory words.

In fact, he didn’t know how to get along with children at all.

Under the eyes of Zhou Yinchu, who had been celibate for so many years, children were natural monsters, they were noisy, annoying, and had more or less problematic IQs.

Zhou Yinchu waved, “Just call me ‘Uncle Zhou’.”

“Uncle Zhou, hello.”

Li Che was originally a rather polite kid, and at this moment, he definitely didn’t want his mom’s friends to see the good upbringing in him.

Originally, she thought that their first meeting would be a stone-cold shock that would make her want to run away, but the truth of the matter was that both of them behaved better than Wen Ning had expected; after all, Che Che was not clearly aware of the hidden relationship between herself and Zhou Yinchu, and Zhou Yinchu did not look like he was so far gone as to target a child who was a flower girl.

Wenning breathed a sigh of relief.

The wine passed three rounds.

The toasting party finally took their turn at their table, and Fan Yijin was so excited that people only thought she was happy to be a bride, and only Fan Yijin herself knew the excitement of a line of melon eaters.

She didn’t know who to share it with, but considering Chuchu’s special status, she didn’t address the new gentleman in a high-profile manner as Ning’s boyfriend.

But Zhou Yinchu wasn’t quite sure.

He couldn’t wait for everyone to recognize the relationship between him and Wenning within a day, and even if that was the case, he didn’t mind it too quickly at all.

The reason was simple, he had already waited long enough.

Not long after, he took it upon himself to take a bunch of banknotes, and asked Wen Ning for a red envelope shell to come and give the newlyweds gift money for her.

Wen Ning’s scalp was confused, but she didn’t know how she had condoned Zhou Yinchu to do so, while Fan Yijin was generous and bright enough to accept this gift money given by Zhou Yinchu, whispering with Wen Ning, “If you give it to me, I definitely won’t accept it, but if your man is willing to pay it, then I’m definitely going to accept it.”

Wen Ning didn’t know what to say, she silently finished the clink of glasses, only to see the smile on Fan Yijin’s face grow brighter and brighter.

She called out to her other little sister who was a bridesmaid and said, “Keeping score, Wen Ning goes with ten thousand.”

Sitting back at her own table, the preoccupied Wen Ning immediately threatened, “Later, I’ll pay you back.”

She almost didn’t know how to differentiate clearly with Zhou Yinchu.

She could only comfort herself that perhaps if she gave the money, Xiao Fan might not be willing to accept it, this was but a different way to pass it on to the other party, which was not a bad thing.

Good thing, sitting on the other side of the small Yang concentrated on eating children do not notice this scene between adults.

Wenning still very much valued the image of herself in the child’s mind.

Also can not bear to complain, in fact, give a three or five thousand is also completely fine, she can not figure out Zhou Yinchu this play, but instead to let himself ride the tiger.

He is on purpose.

It’s hard not to want to borrow the excuse of this ten thousand dollars, will she straight hook to deceive the past?

Zhou Yinchu, however, acted more humane this time, “It’s a piece of my own heart, you don’t have to return it, and there’s nothing to ‘exchange’ for.”

The two words emphasized had to make Wen Ning wary.

However, he was unimpressed, clinking his glass with his own in a loose manner, his afterglow even falling on his little friend, well enough to keep his voice low enough.

“Your friend said that I’m your man,” Zhou Yinchu looked at her impartially, “that alone is worth ten thousand.”

Wen Ning didn’t want to ignore him.

Lest some people just don’t know what’s important on the stage.

Finally, it was Wen Ning’s turn as a bridesmaid to hand out the wedding candies, and she was able to leave from Zhou Yinchu’s side, but after she left, she couldn’t help but turn around frequently, and realized that Zhou Yinchu was asking questions to his own child, and for a moment, alarm bells went off in Wen Ning’s heart.

Zhou Yinchu deliberately stood in front of his child and smiled at her recklessly, and based on this scene alone, she should also clearly understand that this man was definitely doing it on purpose.

She was unable to not turn around and worry about her child.

And he was precisely utilizing her mentality as if those gazes were all falling on him alone.

The wedding candies were handed out.

It was rare for Wen Ning to have a conversation with so many people she didn’t know one by one, and she, a not-so-social person, was forced to open up. Although the corners of her mouth maintained the curve of a smile, some bad premonition would always arise in her heart.

After saying goodbye to Fan, she almost immediately found Chuchu who was peacefully waiting for the adults, “Zhou Yinchu …… Uncle Zhou didn’t do anything to you, did he?”

“No.”

Li Che scratched his head, not understanding his mother’s moment of being like an enemy, describing with her one by one how he and Uncle Zhou got along with each other, “He took a Sudoku puzzle out and said he wanted to test me.”

Wen Ning rubbed her son’s broken hair and asked softly, “Did you solve it then?”

“I solved it, but Uncle Zhou taught me a faster method.”

Wen Ning was relieved, lamenting the few times Zhou Yinchu was still personal.

“Mom, do you know Uncle Zhou well?”

“Sort of for a while in the past.” Wen Ning spoke with a bit of ambiguity, but didn’t choose to avoid talking about it just because Li Che was still a child.

The child’s gaze looked at her with particular trust, “Uncle Zhou said that mommy used to be a particularly good friend of his, only because he went abroad …… you guys didn’t come and go for a long while.”

Thank goodness.

Zhou Yinchu’s conscience was still intact, and he said a few words that were still reliable.

Wen Ning would smile, “Pretty much.”

Her child didn’t press on, as if she was just recognizing an old friend in her mother’s life.

Wen Ning wanted to take advantage of someone’s absence to hoof it out of this hotel, “Let’s go back early, you prep a little more homework, and mom goes to sell two more bowls of wontons ……”

“Good.”

Her children were always well-behaved and understanding.

When Wen Ning walked out, she realized that perhaps she had experienced too many things during this daytime, and the person was forgetful, almost forgetting about the Volkswagen in the underground parking garage, and Xiao Yang had a few distractions and didn’t remind her.

It turned out that it was because when there was interaction on stage, the emcee would give away dolls based on the questions answered.

Xiao Yang raised her hand several times.

The emcee only called out to the first few tables, and didn’t take into account the whole room.

So Xiao Yang did not get a response, suddenly feel this wedding banquet is boring, the heart bitter, Wen Ning immediately on the phone to buy a nearby game city currency, hoping to make Xiao Yang happy again.

Attentive Wen Ning began to arrange: “Wait a moment, we turn back to catch, we together catch a playground city’s largest.”

Xiao Yang’s heart is simple, instantly happy again.

In front of the fountain.

Wen Ning is not willing to stay in this open space for too long, lest she see the old man again, unbeknownst to her, Zhou Yinchu is already waiting for a rabbit.

It was only because the open space in front of the old hotel was not spacious, and there was a Buick in front of him that kept blocking his way, that he came late.

He had no qualms about pulling into the most congested section of the road.

He ignored the honking behind him.

“Get in.”
