Chapter 697 - 558: Third Watch
In her eyes, Shi Wangyue also saw a sense of melancholy and complexity.
Observing her closely, he was amazed at how her eyes seemed like a vast universe with each blink.
It was breakfast time.
The two of them sat leisurely at the dining table, having a simple breakfast.
Shi Wangyue had made tuna sandwiches and scrambled eggs with milk after tidying up the bed, while Ning Youguang had washed and cut the fruit and made hot coffee.
"There’s something I have to admit to you; I’m incredibly in love with you, but I still love myself very much."
They talked about why Ning Youguang insisted on waiting so long to get married.
She gave him a reason that was half-true, half-false, "Because I want to spend a lot of time becoming the person I want to be, achieving what I want to do. Loving you and loving myself are different. Loving you means I just want you to be happy and joyful. Loving myself means I will spend enough time actively pursuing my mission and tasks, and there will surely be pressure and pain in this process; it won’t be that easy."
Shi Wangyue put down his fork and sighed softly, "I understand you very well."
Because their cognitive and philosophical modes were the same.
But he also deeply understood where the difference between them lay.
Compared to loving oneself.
He knew that in Ning Youguang’s life, he was very important but definitely not the center.
But in his life, she was very important, important to the extent of being the center of his entire world.
"I’m thankful for your tolerance and support. Only with your support and tolerance can I have enough time and energy to do my things." Ning Youguang thanked Shi Wangyue sincerely, "You are a great boyfriend, and you will surely be a good husband in the future. You consistently go to bed early and get up early, keep up with your fitness routine; you are my role model and give me a sense of security."
...
A few days before Fang Han’s wedding.
Ming Jinxin received a WeChat message from Ning Youguang asking her to help transfer the gift money when the time came, and immediately called her, "You’re really not coming back with us to attend Hanhan’s wedding?"
"I’m not going, Auntie, I don’t have time." Ning Youguang was straightforward with Ming Jinxin about the reason.
Ming Jinxin was silent for a moment, then smiled, "It’s so far, it’s okay if you don’t go. I’ll bring your blessings and explain it to them."
"No need to explain, Auntie." Ning Youguang said, "I already personally told my cousin last time; she shouldn’t mind that I can’t be there."
...
Does Fang Han care if Ning Youguang doesn’t attend her wedding?
Of course, she cares.
And quite a bit, too.
When she received the red envelope Ming Jinxin passed on behalf of Ning Youguang at the wedding.
She stood in the presidential suite of a famous five-star hotel in Jincheng, for a moment unable to describe her emotions.
She stood there in a daze, looking at the elegantly dressed Ming Jinxin, and asked in shock, "Aunt, is Youyou really not coming to my wedding?"
"Youyou’s work at the research lab is very busy, so busy that she often doesn’t even have time to eat, so she really can’t make it." Ming Jinxin explained on behalf of Ning Youguang.
"Auntie, it’s my wedding." Fang Han’s face, with only base makeup applied, looked incredulous, "Is her work so busy that she can’t spare a day?"
"Yes." Ming Jinxin said, "She hasn’t taken a vacation in a long time."
Fang Han was furious but couldn’t say much more to Ming Jinxin.
She could only grit her teeth, "Okay, Auntie, I understand."
Ming Jinxin, being a smart person, could feel Fang Han’s anger in her tone, no matter how controlled Fang Han was.
She actually didn’t understand why Fang Han would be angry because Youyou wasn’t coming to her wedding.
After all, they were just cousins, and reason and sentimentally, it’s not something that should be considered rude.
Moreover, she also sensed that the two cousins weren’t close, so Youyou not coming should be more understandable to the other party.
However, since it was Fang Han’s special day, she didn’t want to argue with her.
Thinking this in her heart, Ming Jinxin kept a friendly smile on her face, "Hanhan, continue with your makeup, and I’ll go over there to chat with your aunt."
"Okay, bye, Auntie." Fang Han felt waves of suffocating frustration and smiled as she saw Ming Jinxin off.
Once Ming Jinxin left, she closed the hotel room door, furiously took out her phone, and dialed Ning Youguang’s number.
After the call connected, there was a long beep... beep...
It rang for a long time, and no one answered.
After quite a while, she realized what was happening, stared at her phone, and dialed again and again, but couldn’t reach her.
She tried using her assistant’s phone to call, but it just kept ringing, and no one answered.
With that, Fang Han’s patience was completely exhausted.
She forcefully threw her phone onto the sofa, slumped onto it, and her expression was somewhat disheveled.
She thought of her wedding, all those people from various circles who would appear, and those waiting to see Shi Wangyue at the wedding.
If Ning Youguang didn’t come, if Ning Youguang didn’t bring Shi Wangyue...
She picked up her phone and called Ning Xian, "Mom, where are you? Come to my room now."
Her voice was filled with urgency and a hint of tears.
It startled Ning Xian on the other end, "Hanhan, what’s wrong?"
Fang Han gritted her teeth, "Mom, Ning Youguang isn’t coming to my wedding. I don’t care what method you use, she has to attend my wedding!"
"If she doesn’t come, she doesn’t come. What’s the big deal?" On the other side, Ning Xian couldn’t yet understand her daughter’s feelings.
Fang Han was already both angry and anxious, so hearing Ning Xian’s indifferent tone only fueled her anger, "She must come, do you hear me? I don’t care what method you use, make sure Ning Youguang and her boyfriend are at my wedding tonight. If she doesn’t come, the thing you want, I won’t be able to help you with."
