Do You Want to Marry Me?

Chapter 30

Xu Tian smiled when she heard that and felt relieved. “That’s great, Jin Nian. I was afraid that you would be deceived by Jiang Qingchi, but I’m relieved to see that you’re so clear-headed.” Jin Nian looked at her, feeling a bit confused. “Are you afraid that I’ll be cheated?”Jin Nian asked. “Yes,” Xu Tian replied. “But yesterday, I saw Jiang Qingchi holding your shoulder at the airport.” “You didn’t see wrongly. I took the initiative to contact him, hoping that he would never bother me again.

However, I didn’t expect that he would have so many fans waiting for him at the airport. I couldn’t push him away, and I didn’t want to create a scene in front of so many people.”

After Xu Tian went abroad, the two of them occasionally kept in contact because she didn’t want to make their relationship too strained. However, Xu Tian eventually grew tired of Jiang Qingchi calling her every day, crying and wiping his tears, so she blacklisted all his contact information. Xu Tian had been abroad until she officially returned half a year ago. Jiang Qingchi had asked someone to get her new number and called her to say that he needed her help. Even though they had broken up, Xu Tian didn’t intend to become enemies with him, so she agreed to his friend request. “If I had known what happened after that, I would never have agreed to his friend request.” Xu Tian honestly admitted, “I thought the two of you had broken up. He used to send me WeChat messages every few days, saying some random things. Later, I learned from my classmates that you two were about to get married.”

Xu Tian was a straightforward person. After knowing the truth, she immediately went to find Jiang Qingchi to clarify things. She admitted that she had been momentarily tempted when she thought Jiang Qingchi was truly single, but once she found out the truth, she felt only disgust and revulsion. “Jin Nian, I’ve never considered you as a love rival or a competitor. I just think that this kind of person is too disgusting and unworthy of both of us. “Jin Nian lowered her head and took a sip of her fruit juice, feeling a chill run down her spine.

She was actually a cheerful person. If there was anything sad happened, she would just sleep it off and wake up to ease her mood. After waking up from her drunken stupor, the engagement banquet seemed like a dream. With Xu Tian’s reminder, Jin Nian fell into endless grief and indignation once again. Six years of youth had been wasted. Xu Tian continued, “I didn’t want to get involved at first. No matter how crazy he is, I can just block him.” But after thinking about it, I feel that it’s unfair to you. You shouldn’t be kept in the dark.” Xu Tian let out a long breath. “D*mn it, I’m suffocating! ” Although Jin Nian had already known everything, she was still grateful for Xu Tian’s honesty. The two of them had a glass of juice in each hand as they strolled around casually. It was as if they were back in their school field, walking around the campus like senior and junior students.

Xu Tian patted Jin Nian’s shoulder lightly. “Jin Nian, you deserve better. You’re young and beautiful. It’s not too late to find someone treating you better. There’s no need to continue wasting time on such a person.” Jin Nian nodded, unable to smile. Someone called Xu Tian. Xu Tian told Jin Nian apologetically that she had something to do and had to leave first. She would have treated Jin Nian to a meal if there had been a chance in the future. After Xu Tian left, Jin Nian took a stroll along the pedestrian street with a glass of fruit juice in her hand. Without a destination, she didn’t know where to go.

After walking around, Jin Nian sat alone on a stone bench in the square in front of the hotel. She lowered her head, and everything around her seemed like an illusory backdrop. In this season, the lotus flowers in the pond should have been in full bloom, but because it was already late, they had closed up one after another. A teardrop dropped from the corner of Jin Nian’s eyes without warning. She quickly wiped it away, not wanting to admit that she was weak and powerless. When she saw the messages on Jiang Qingchi’s phone, she pretended to be calm. When she announced the annulment of the engagement, she didn’t shed a single tear. When she got drunk, she didn’t cry. Wasn’t he just a scumbag? So, what if they broke up? What’s the big deal? Jin Nian, can you not be so useless? she thought to herself. However, she suddenly couldn’t hold it in anymore. She let out a few tears. It was pitch black outside anyway, and no one could see her.

Jin Nian covered her eyes with her cold hands. Tears poured out and she couldn’t stop. She bit her lips to stop herself from crying. The more she endured, the faster her breathing became. A tall figure had appeared in front of Jin Nian, blocking the dim light. She hadn’t noticed him at all. When she heard the sound of the other party’s breathing, Jin Nian subconsciously raised her head. Her vision was blurry, and she could not see who it was.

“Jin Nian, it’s me.” Lu An said as he bent down and squatted in front of Jin Nian. He looked noble, but his eyes were filled with pity. Without waiting for Jin Nian to speak, Lu An reached out and pulled her into his arms. He held her like a child, showing a gentleness he had never shown before, and his tall figure enveloped her. She leaned against his chest and heard him say softly, “Don’t hold it in. If you want to cry, cry. No one will see.”
