A Long-Awaited Marriage - Chapter 16

“Yaoyao, you don’t understand…” Lu Anran lay down on the sofa, her fingers interlocked and resting on the back of her head. At this moment, even the interesting plot on TV could not attract her. Her eyes became empty and lifeless.

Scenes from the past flashed through her mind like a movie. Jiang had once said, “You’ll always be my little fool…”

Forever a silly little thing…

Lu Anran’s heart ached sharply. How far is forever? It was a promise neither of them could keep.

“I don’t understand. If it were me, I would definitely talk to the other party and make things clear.” Ding Shuyao frowned slightly, unable to comprehend Lu Anran’s struggle and pain.

Lu Anran sighed silently, “Yaoyao, tell me, if only time could turn back, how wonderful would that be?”

The image of Jiang Ye angrily leaving Nanjing South Railway Station back then became a pain she could never let go of.

The more passionate the love, the more devastating the breakup.

She really didn’t want to hurt him, but she still deceived him in the most vicious way.

If time could turn back, would she have been braver? Would she have been more determined? Would she have overcome countless difficulties to stay with her beloved?

And then there’s Su Ang, he’s an innocent person too, innocently dragged into her entanglement with Jiang Ye, and innocently punched.

She cried and begged Su Ang to act with her. Su Ang didn’t treat her like a lunatic. He didn’t blame her even after she was beaten. He even thought about her for four whole years.

At that moment, Lu Anran felt that she was utterly wicked.

“Alright, alright, it’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have asked about your romantic history. I shouldn’t have been so nosy.” Ding Shuyao couldn’t help but feel sorry for Lu Anran as she looked so distraught.

“I will never ask again, Ranran, please forgive me!” Ding Shuyao cupped Lu Anran’s face in her hands and looked at Lu Anran with deep regret.

I never expected my first love online to be so hurtful to Ranran. It’s been more than four years since we broke up, and I still can’t forget him!

She was starting to wonder what kind of person the other person was.

Lu Anran gently shook her head. “Yaoyao, this has nothing to do with you. It’s just me who can’t get over it. As long as I don’t think about him, my life will still be normal.”

“Back then, everyone thought we’d grow old together. Who would have thought we’d break up four years ago, haha…”

“Yaoyao, I’ve never told any of my friends about this. It makes me feel better to talk about it. You don’t need to blame yourself.”

Ding Shuyao put her arm around her shoulder, looked at her reddened eyes, and said with some heartache, “Okay, if you want to cry, just cry. Don’t pretend to be strong. My shoulder is always there for you to lean on, come on~” Ding Shuyao patted her own shoulder.

Lu Anran leaned on Ding Shuyao’s shoulder as instructed. She recalled the dream that had been bothering her for more than half a year. “But I keep having dreams lately. I dream that he got married, and I also dreamed about the bride. She was very familiar, but I just couldn’t see her face clearly.”

Ding Shuyao became interested again, “This is called ‘dreams arise from the heart.’ I’ve heard that lovers whose fate hasn’t run its course will definitely meet again.”

“Dreaming of a former lover seems to mean that he is also thinking of you. Maybe you will be able to meet again soon!” Ding Shuyao said seriously.

“You’re quite the comforter! I didn’t know you could interpret dreams!” Lu Anran was finally amused by Ding Shuyao.

However, she quickly felt a pang of loss, never having considered the possibility of her and Jiang Hui ever meeting again.

If they were to reunite, what would they say? Would they say “hello” or “long time no see”?

Or perhaps, say nothing at all?

Where is he? What is he doing? Who is he with? How has he been all these years…?

Lu Anran sighed silently, rejecting her hopes. He must hate her to death; he definitely wouldn’t want to see her again…

If there’s still longing, keep it in your heart. Let’s not disturb each other, and each be well.

“Why worry so much! Just live your life as it comes, and seize the opportunity when it comes. It’s already eleven o’clock, hurry up and go to sleep! I’m exhausted after a long day,” Ding Shuyao urged. “I don’t want to become a haggard housewife!”

Lu Anran glared reproachfully at Ding Shuyao, who had wandered into the wrong room, “Hey, Ding Shuyao, that’s my room!”

“Haha, tonight, I’ll sleep with you!” Ding Shuyao turned around, playfully stuck out her tongue at Lu Anran, and gave him a charming smile.

Then, with lightning speed, she slipped into Lu Anran’s room and shouted, “Sister, come and keep me company when you’re done!”
