He really was quite good to her.

Whenever she went through difficult times, he unconditionally stood by her side.

In all her years, there were very few people who could match his level of support.

If it weren’t for the presence of Lin Yan and Lu Beicheng between them, maybe she could have been in a relationship with him.

But alas…

Jiang Yining felt a faint regret.

Ye Xiaoxi approached Jiang Yining quietly and patted her shoulder.

Without looking back, Jiang Yining said, “Xiaoxi, how old are you? You’re still playing such childish games?”

“No matter how old I am, it doesn’t affect my youthful spirit,” Ye Xiaoxi replied while sitting cross-legged on the carpet, looking at the splendid fireworks outside the window. “These fireworks were prepared as a surprise by your husband, right?”

“Yes,” Jiang Yining nodded.

Ye Xiaoxi expressed her envy. “Yining, you really chose the right person. If my future husband can be half as good as Lu Zhi, I’d die content.”

“Perhaps when the time comes, you won’t be so willing to die,” Jiang Yining teased.

Ye Xiaoxi nodded, thinking that what she said was true. People who lived happily would be reluctant to leave their other halves.

Because they had to wake up early the next morning, after enjoying the fireworks, Jiang Yining and Ye Xiaoxi lay down side by side and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, at the villa, Gu Zhanqing’s phone buzzed incessantly.

He stepped aside to answer the call. “Everything has been arranged, no need to worry. Tomorrow night, just follow my instructions.”

The person on the other end seemed to say something, but he grew impatient.

“Miss Chen, don’t use a commanding tone with me. We’re not in a cooperative relationship; I’m the one in control of everything, and you’re only qualified to follow my orders. If you dare to defy my will, I don’t mind finding someone else.”

In just a few sentences, he exerted invisible pressure.

Chen Kexin on the other end of the phone nodded obediently. “Yes, I’ll listen to you.”

“Good.”

Gu Zhanqing hung up the phone and turned around.

To his surprise, Jiang Rou had appeared behind him without him noticing.

He walked over and asked, “Why haven’t you slept yet?”

“The fireworks woke me up, and now I can’t sleep,” Jiang Rou replied softly. “Uncle, are you thinking of finding someone to replace Yining and go against Lu Zhi…”

She was cut off before she could finish her sentence.

“Would she be willing to leave with me if I don’t do that? You and Yining are twin sisters who grew up together. You should understand her temperament. She won’t give up unless her hope is completely shattered.”

For example, the situation with Lin Yan had been going on for over half a year. She hadn’t received any messages from her and had even discovered what appeared to be Lin Yan’s body…

But she still refused to believe that Lin Yan was dead and had traveled all the way to A-City to search for her, even at the cost of her own marriage.

Gu Zhanqing didn’t want to continue dragging things out. He had more important matters to attend to and needed to take Yining away as soon as possible.

This plan would definitely sever her emotional ties with Lu Zhi.

Jiang Rou wanted to say something, but considering Gu Zhanqing’s difficulties, she remained silent.

“Uncle, can you stay with me for a while?”

“Sure.”

Gu Zhanqing held her hand and went to her bedroom.

Since childhood, Jiang Rou had difficulty falling asleep once she was startled. It was only when he sat by her bedside, watching over her all night, that she could finally rest peacefully.

The night grew quiet.

The housekeeper made sure no one was around before coming out of the study.

She had overheard the conversation between Gu Zhanqing and Jiang Rou earlier. She had only heard half of it, so she wasn’t sure about the specifics, but it seemed like it could be detrimental to the master and young mistress. She felt it was her duty to remind the young mistress.

The next morning, at dawn, Jiang Yining and Ye Xiaoxi were awakened from their warm beds by the household maids.

Then, a team of people, including stylists and makeup artists, rushed in.

They seated Jiang Yining in a chair and began preparing her.

Once Jiang Yining was fully awake, she cooperated with their efforts.

After about two and a half hours, everything was ready.

Ye Xiaoxi, who had been waiting nearby, had fallen into a deep sleep on the couch, with drool nearly dribbling down her chin.

Jiang Yining stepped forward and nudged her.

Ye Xiaoxi startled awake.

Seeing the girl in a wedding gown before her, she felt a mix of unfamiliarity and familiarity.

“Miss Fairy, where did you come from?”

Ye Xiaoxi wiped the corners of her mouth and asked with a sleepy, cheerful smile.

“You chatterbox.”

Jiang Yining’s wedding gown fit her perfectly. She had to maintain good posture and composure.

She walked up to the mirror and admired herself.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly. “No wonder people say that even if a girl doesn’t plan to get married, she should wear a wedding gown at least once. After putting it on, it’s like becoming a different person..”
