I understand now. Mina didn't win last night. Although she put in a lot of effort, in the end, she exchanged her own compromise for marriage.
What she lost, besides her current job, was everything she had in Haicheng. Perhaps she truly loved Longwen, which is why she was willing to make changes for him.
After Mina left, my mind was still in a jumble. One moment I was recalling the scenes from last night, and the next I was thinking about her expression when she talked about getting married.
Those images kept overlapping and alternating, ultimately all becoming Longwen's face.
From what we know, he really is a good man, but he clearly doesn't love Mina as deeply; otherwise, it wouldn't have been Mina who compromised first.
In the world of love, everyone knows that the one who loves deeply will also be hurt deeply.
I hope they will be well in the future, but I'm afraid that when that time comes, Mina might lose herself in the process, especially since she has to follow Longwen to a foreign land.
Feeling very blocked inside, I wanted to talk to someone.
When I called Xiao Minxing, he just hurriedly said he was busy and hung up without any intention of listening to my idle chatter.
Feeling stifled at home, I decided to drive out. I took a tour around the streets of Haicheng and finally stopped at the bar we went to last night.
At this time, the bar's doors were still closed. It looked quite desolate outside. The colorful lights of Night could only reveal a few small light bulbs hanging online, losing their brilliance and looking somewhat ugly.
Su Qian was also here last night. From his appearance, he seemed to come often, and the woman he was with looked familiar as well.
A long time ago, Xiao Minxing mentioned that he was busy with something. But looking at him now, it seems like he hasn't done much; he still loves to have fun just like before.
However, every time I think of him living recklessly, my heart feels heavy.
I drove to the studio and unexpectedly saw Su Qian sitting on a chair in the lobby downstairs.
He rarely wore a suit, and he was focused on his mobile phone, completely unaware that I had walked right in front of him.
"Hi, you’re not here to see Ye Guang again today, are you?" I asked him.
Su Qian looked up, his eyes showing a moment of surprise before he quickly turned his gaze elsewhere. With a habitual smile on his face, he said, "Yeah, but it seems like he’s not here."
I explained to him what happened last night and then said, "I’m too tired; I didn’t want to come today. So if he shows up, there won’t be anyone to take care of him. It’s better for him to rest at home."
Su Qian nodded and said, "Alright then, I’ll head back to rest too."
I hurriedly stopped him and asked, "What happened last night? When did you guys leave the bar?"
He looked at me with a serious expression but suddenly covered it with a smile and said, "I don’t know; I drank too much and went to a hotel with that woman. I just got home this morning."
I felt a bit awkward and didn’t dare to ask further, so I changed the topic and said, "Did you know Mina is getting married?"
Su Qian quickly nodded and said, "Getting married? That’s great! She’s not getting any younger; it’s about time she settled down."
"But I find it surprising. You see, the three of them yesterday..."
Before I could finish my sentence, Su Qian interrupted me, saying, "They’re all adults; they have their own thoughts and ways of doing things. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get married soon too."
After saying that, he smiled at me and waved as he walked toward the entrance.
I almost wanted to check an old calendar to see if this was a particularly good time for weddings since even those who were against marriage were now getting married.
But who was Su Qian with?
I quickly learned about this the day after we finished drinking, when I was shocked for an entire day.
Guan Mingyue came to find me.
It was a huge surprise because we weren't friends, and there was no benefit involved. Plus, she had left a bad impression on me in the past, so I hardly wanted to see her.
Guan Mingyue stood in my office. Although she wore a professional smile, there was still a hint of arrogance in her expression.
After greeting her, I really couldn't think of any good topics to discuss, so I could only ask her, "Is there something Dr. Guan needs from me?"
She nodded and said, "It's nothing much. I noticed Su Qian has been coming here often, so I thought I'd come by and take a look. I didn't expect to run into you here."
What a load of nonsense. She had already reported my name at the entrance; otherwise, the front desk wouldn't have let her in. Now she was claiming she didn't know I was here.
Is she a doctor or a mental patient?
Thinking this was one thing; saying it out loud was another.
Since she wanted to put on an act with me and keep smiling, I tried my best to maintain a smile as well and replied, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect Dr. Guan to come here either. Su Qian was here yesterday, and you might want to wait a bit; he might come by later."
Guan Mingyue laughed: "That shouldn't happen. He’s busy preparing for his wedding and won’t have time."
I looked at her without showing any emotion. In fact, I was more shocked by the news of Mina's wedding than anything else. But seeing Guan Mingyue's face forced me to calm down as I said, "That's good news. Thank you for coming to tell me, Dr. Guan."
I really didn't want to play this game with her and had no desire to see her. Besides, I couldn't understand how Su Qian's marriage had anything to do with me. My husband is Xiao Minxing; even if Su Qian came here more frequently, it would be for Ye Guang. Did she really need to make such an effort?
Even if Su Qian wasn't getting married, what difference would it make for us? The way she thought was truly peculiar.
Moreover, what does Su Qian's marriage have to do with her Guan Mingyue? What does it mean for her to come all the way here to inform me?
However, after she left, I couldn't help but call Su Qian.
"What's going on? Why are you guys getting married just like that?" I asked.
Su Qian chuckled on the other end before saying, "Is it really that strange?"
I couldn't control myself at all, and the words just slipped out: "It's not strange; it's simply unbelievable. You aren't marrying Dr. Guan, are you? She just came over specifically to tell me about it. You Good Fellow too, we met a couple of days ago, and you didn't say a word. You had to wait for someone else to tell me. Is it that you don't want me and Xiao Minxing to attend your wedding?"
After rambling for a while, I realized it was unusually quiet on the other end, not a sound at all.
The obvious silence startled me, and after calling out a few times, Su Qian finally spoke up: "It's nothing. If you don't have anything else, let's hang up for now."
"Hey, hey, is it really true…"
My words were cut off on the phone; Su Qian didn't tell me whether it was true or not, nor did she confirm if she was really going to marry Guan Mingyue. Even her last response to me was cold.
It was a bit strange, but I didn't think much of it at the time until later that evening when Xiao Minxing came to the studio to pick me up and asked, "Did you see the news today?"
I looked at him oddly and said, "I was so busy today that I didn't have time. Did something strange happen?"
