No matter what happens, Mina's wedding cannot go wrong.
I only have this one good friend, and the more I see unreliable men, the more I feel that women's friendship is more precious. Mina has never been wrong to me, and I cannot let this small matter ruin her important life event.
I didn't want to say much to Xiao Minxing, so I turned around and walked back.
But when I turned around, I realized that I had no idea how far I had walked. After wandering around, I had already lost my way back and couldn't see the hotel either. Although a man was following me now, I didn't want to ask him for help; I just didn't have any money or a phone with me, and when I reached an intersection, I was completely at a loss.
Xiao Minxing was very patient, following me at a steady pace. When he saw me stop, he stopped too. When I walked, he followed without saying much.
I was walking anxiously, feeling increasingly frustrated and hating myself more. What could a woman who couldn't even tell directions use to compete with others or win a man's heart?
I didn't know how long I had been walking. Tired, sleepy, and hungry—being attacked from all sides made my legs weak. I didn't want to move another inch and just leaned against a bench by the roadside.
Xiao Minxing silently sat beside me, his tone steady: "If you think walking all night can help you vent your anger and turn this around, I'll accompany you."
I felt a surge of anger: "This anger will never go away; this page will never be turned. If you don't want to accompany me, just leave quickly and don't block my way here."
Before I could finish my sentence, Xiao Minxing bent down and picked me up, heading towards the roadside.
Once again, I miscalculated. I was too exhausted to struggle now; apart from letting out a few cries, there was nothing I could do about him.
He hailed a cab by the roadside effortlessly and stuffed me inside before sitting next to me.
I fell asleep in the car almost immediately; I was really too tired. After a whole day of turmoil, my heart felt utterly drained, so I didn’t even know how I got back to the hotel.
I was woken up by Xiao Minxing. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw him sitting by the bed, fully dressed.
"Get up, or it will really be late," he said.
My clothes were at the head of the bed, and breakfast was laid out on the table. The aroma of the food wafting from inside was like a rope, pulling me out of bed.
But seeing Xiao Minxing reminded me of everything that happened last night, and my good mood vanished in an instant.
I climbed down from the other side of the bed, grabbed my clothes, and headed to the bathroom.
When I came out again, Xiao Minxing was still sitting by the bed, holding his mobile phone and seemingly engrossed in something.
I didn't want to pay him any attention; right now, Mina's matters were the most important. I would settle accounts with him later.
When a group of us arrived at Mina's wedding hotel, it was still dark outside, but the indoor lights were bright as day.
Mina was in the inner room getting her makeup done and changing into her wedding dress.
As I approached her, she looked at me through the mirror—her cheeks rosy, lips painted red—she was stunningly beautiful. When she smiled slightly, she was even more breathtaking.
"Big beauty, I regret not being born a man. How wonderful it would be to marry such a beautiful girl like you."
Mina laughed at me: "You’re a woman; we could still get married! Isn’t it true that we can’t discriminate against same-sex relationships anymore? But if you want to marry me, you’ll have to get divorced first."
This statement suddenly pulled me back to Xiao Minxing's words.
Yes, if he wants to marry someone else, he has to get a divorce first. So, is Xiao Minxing already thinking about how to leave me?
This time is different from last time. Last time it was one of his schemes; he still wanted to live with me, so he considered my feelings in everything.
But if he wants to marry Chen Xiangzhi this time, then it definitely has nothing to do with me anymore. What will happen between me and Xiao Zhe in the future?
"What are you thinking? Are you really planning to marry me? Look at your serious face," Mina asked as she tilted her head from the mirror to look at me.
I looked back at her, trying hard to regain my composure. I walked over and stood beside her, saying, "I'm afraid your family Longwen will kill me."
Mina smiled at the mirror, reached over from her shoulder to hold my hand, and when she stopped smiling, she said, "Anan, even though I'm just one person here, I'm already content that you can be by my side right now."
I actually wanted to smile at her, but for some reason Tears started flowing down my cheeks. I hurriedly wiped them away with a tissue and said, "What are you talking about? Don't say that. Even if you marry in Africa, I will go there to see you. Besides, it's not far from here; we can meet anytime in the future."
"You're the one who should marry in Africa."
Mina laughed and hit me. I retaliated, and we ended up in a playful scuffle that left the makeup and hairstyling staff stunned, quickly putting down their things and stepping aside.
Once we had our fun, she sat with me in front of the mirror and looked at our faces reflected there. She said, "Anan, we need to take care of ourselves in the future."
I nodded.
But inside, I felt a deep sadness. Can we really take care of ourselves?
Mina's wedding was unprecedentedly grand; half of the business circle in this area attended, along with merchants who rushed in from the mainland, most of whom had business dealings with the Dragon Family.
We were just a small, inconspicuous part of the crowd, but since we were Mina's family, we were treated well and given seats at the front.
Everyone else seemed fine, but Miyong looked restless, his eyes constantly fixated on the female guests coming and going.
Since it was a grand banquet, everyone was dressed in luxurious gowns, and this was the largest event in the business district, so the women's dresses showcased various styles.
Miyong's wife noticed him staring at others and started arguing with him, venting her frustration by banging the dishes on the table.
Mina's parents tried their best to mediate between the two, but their words only made things worse, like adding fuel to the fire. Miyong even claimed that they had deliberately lost him back then, leaving him to suffer outside while Mina received their affection and now married so well.
The more they spoke, the more outrageous it became, eventually leading Mina's parents to tell Mina to keep them both in Hong Kong and that they would never return to that poor place again.
People nearby had already started looking our way; however, Miyong showed no signs of restraint and continued shouting.
Su Qian and Zhuo Feng both stood up simultaneously, grabbing him and dragging him outside.
His wife, who had been arguing fiercely with him, immediately shifted her focus and loudly demanded to know what they were doing.
Xiao Minxing couldn't sit still either and stood up to pull her outside as well.
Seeing their son and daughter-in-law being dragged away, Mina's parents quickly got up and followed them out.
I wanted to keep an eye on Ye Guang and naturally didn't dare to follow them outside. However, with such a large group shouting as they left the crowd, many people were already watching. The situation was getting out of control; if I left with Ye Guang now, what would happen if something unexpected occurred here?
