Chapter 315 - 293: As Long as You’re Willing, I Can Be Your Bride Today (9)
Dudu sighed softly, moved her gaze away from the mirror, and reached out to touch the necklace around her neck.She remembered that it was during high school when she and her classmates went to work during the summer. With her first earnings, she bought a couple’s necklace. She gave him the other one, but she had never seen him wear it. Perhaps, he had thrown it away a long time ago. He had never valued anything she gave him.
She returned to the sofa and sat down, took out her phone, and looked at the photo she had secretly taken of him on the screen. Her eyes reddened uncontrollably. Fearing that her makeup would be ruined, she held back her tears and didn’t even dare to blink.
There used to be many photos in her old phone, but she had lost it. The new phone had only a few, because she saw him less and less, and didn’t even have the chance to take secret photos anymore. The only photo of them together was probably from their childhood.
She really wished they would never grow up. He was still the Su Bao who cared for and looked after her, who wouldn’t look at her with such cold eyes, who wouldn’t speak to her in such a detached tone.
Ever since she mentioned she was going to get married, she hadn’t seen him again. She had gone to his house several times, always being told he wasn’t home, as though he was deliberately avoiding her...
Did he really dislike her that much?
Somehow, she found his number, and Shen Yiran’s words about him not coming came to her mind.
In a moment of impulse, she called him. She had so much to say, wanted to ask him why he refused to come, why he hated her so much... Would he be happy that she was marrying as he had suggested?
The sudden "beep" cut off sharply, the call connected, but her thousands of words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn’t say a single word.
Both ends were silent, and finally, it was Shen Yiran who spoke first, with a businesslike tone: "What’s up?"
The moment she heard his voice, her tears finally couldn’t be held back any longer. She bit her hand hard, fearful that he would hear her crying.
Despite her best efforts to restrain herself, Shen Yiran still knew she was crying. He lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt a heartache that was suffocating.
Before he could say anything else, she ended the call, disappointedly looking at the number, tightly gripping the phone with both hands, and then slamming it heavily on the desk.
Dudu ignored the tears ruining her makeup, stood up with her phone, opened the door of the rest room, and left through the small door on the side of the church. Ignoring the astonished looks of passers-by, she hailed a taxi and reported the address: "Future Tech."
In the company, everything operated as usual in an orderly manner. When everyone saw a woman in a wedding dress walking in, they were all stunned.
"It looks like Dudu!"
Dudu wiped away a tear, walked straight to the elevator, and pressed the floor button for his office.
Shen Yiran received an internal call from the assistant’s office, saying that a Miss Su seemed to be looking for him. He was still puzzled about which Miss Su it could be, and never thought that the one who pushed open the office door would be her...
Dudu held up the hem of her wedding dress with both hands. Her makeup was already a mess, but the traces of crying were still visible, making her look like a helpless child, standing by the door looking at him inside.
Shen Yiran immediately got up and walked towards her, frowning sternly: "What are you doing here?"
Dudu, with tearful eyes, looked at him, her voice choked and urgent: "As long as you are willing, today I will be your bride."
Shen Yiran’s mind stalled for a moment, almost wanting to take her and leave, regardless of everything.
But in the end, rationality prevailed, concealing his heartache: "Do you dare to mess around with such things? Go back now!"
