Two days later, Ji Siyue saw the specific time and location of the wedding on Weibo.
It was coming so soon! It was just three days away!
The wedding would be held in the auditorium on the first floor of the Golden Dragon Hotel. Media friends would be invited, and there would also be a live broadcast.
It was such a high - profile event, and there were already a bunch of people on Weibo singing its praises.
[After all this time, it's finally settled. Those two were never going to be together.]
[They're getting married. Can we stop dwelling on the past?]
[It was a passionate love story after all. Now that he's getting married, but the bride isn't the one from back then, is it wrong for us to sigh a bit?]
[Huang Feng and Hong Dou (a metaphor for the couple) have been involved for almost six or seven years. Even if they didn't end up together in the end, can we just bless them?]
[You're discussing his ex - girlfriend so vigorously. Have you ever thought about how his current fiancée would feel if she knew?]
Others didn't know what Liu Xuejiao was thinking, but she herself knew that there was no joy of an upcoming wedding, only nervousness and unwillingness.
This wedding was clearly a bet that Qin Chengyao had made to force someone.
No one knew who would win or lose this bet. It seemed like the odds were fifty - fifty, with no one having an edge.
Liu Xuejiao felt mixed emotions as she looked at the news and comments on the Internet about her upcoming marriage to Qin Chengyao.
Even if she were to win this time by a fluke, she would probably never be able to escape the shadow that Ji Siyue had left behind.
After looking for a while longer, Liu Xuejiao took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hello. Are you free?"
"Why are you calling me?"
"I'd like to meet you. Can we set a time?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before a response came.
"Send it to my phone."
Two hours later, at a coffee shop.
Liu Xuejiao sat there, dressed simply but exuding an air of nobility.
In the past two years, Qin Chengyao had spoiled her like a noble lady. She had everything except his love.
If she were suddenly asked to give all this up, would she be willing?
The answer was that she would rather die than give it up.
"Dinglingling～!"
The door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and the wind chime on the door rang, catching Liu Xuejiao's attention.
This was the sixth time she had looked up after hearing a sound. The previous five times, it wasn't the person she was waiting for, but this time she finally did.
Liu Xuejiao watched as the person walked slowly towards her.
She was wearing a white tracksuit and Air Force One shoes. Her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail. Her face was bare of makeup, but her skin was astonishingly white, with a glow that seemed to come from within her bones.
Liu Xuejiao unconsciously touched her own face.
She was getting older. After the early signs of aging, there were fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and no matter how expensive the skincare products were, they couldn't reverse it.
But this person always seemed so young, vibrant and full of energy whenever she saw her. Even though she had become more mature now, the lightness in her bones was something Liu Xuejiao could never achieve.
Liu Xuejiao suddenly knew where she had lost.
The person sat down in front of Liu Xuejiao and got straight to the point. "Why did you ask me to come here?"
"I have some questions for you. Siyue, order a cup of coffee. I might need some time."
Ji Siyue was silent.
She would respond if anyone called her Siyue affectionately, but for this person in front of her, she didn't really want to answer.
In her subconscious, it seemed that this person had taken away everything she had once had - although she knew it was all her own doing.
In the end, Ji Siyue ordered an iced Americano.
Liu Xuejiao looked at the coffee in her hand and smiled. "More than two years ago, I was lying in the hospital. Qin Chengyao took care of me for two hours every day and was very impatient. But whenever I casually mentioned you, he would open up and talk a lot about you. He said you liked sweet cappuccinos the most."
But now Ji Siyue was holding an iced Americano.
Ji Siyue also looked down at the coffee cup in her hand and unconsciously tightened her grip.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is... actually, two years ago, he took care of me in the hospital because I threatened him with the thing about Bai Yu. That's when I started having feelings for him. I said if he didn't agree to come and accompany me for two hours every day, I would take revenge on you."
Ji Siyue's eyes widened involuntarily.
"What on earth did you ask me to come here for?"
"Do you feel a bit guilty and uneasy now because you misunderstood him two years ago?"
Liu Xuejiao guessed right. Ji Siyue did feel a bit guilty. She hadn't asked him clearly back then and had wrongly thought that Qin Chengyao was with Liu Xuejiao.
"So what?"
"Yeah, so what?" Liu Xuejiao seemed to suddenly relax. "I'm telling you this just to make you feel bad. Even if you regret it, you can't change anything. Three days later, I'm going to marry him. You can just live with this guilt and uneasiness for the rest of your life."
At this point, Ji Siyue finally understood why this woman had asked her to come here.
She just wanted to show off.
She suddenly laughed, but unconsciously tightened her grip on the coffee cup.
"What if I said the reason I broke up with him back then wasn't what you said?"
"What?" Liu Xuejiao frowned.
"I broke up with him for other reasons. We had an argument because of you, but that wasn't enough to break up. I broke up with him voluntarily. Yes, I do feel guilty, but I was even capable of running away without saying a word. How much uneasiness do you think I can have? In the end, you're nothing."
As Ji Siyue said these words, her heart seemed to be bleeding, but she deliberately put on a strong - willed look on her face.
"You—!"
"And there's one more thing I forgot to tell you. I saw the recording you secretly made of me saying that sentence. I said it on purpose so you could go and tell on me. Do you believe that if I go to Qin Chengyao right now and say I regret it, he'll come back to me, and you'll be nothing."
Liu Xuejiao's face turned pale, and she trembled with anger.
Ji Siyue finally wiped away all the smiles on her face and said coldly, "So stop coming to me to show off. You're annoying."
