2385 Twins
Qiao Jierou knew that as long as Lin Heng changed his mind now, it meant that nothing had changed.
Lin Heng’s mind was blank. He thought of Qiao Weiyang’s coldness and heartlessness, as well as the engagement between the two families.
He seemed to have no way out… He said mechanically, “Alright, then let’s get married.”
If they really got married, would Qiao Weiyang still be so indifferent?
His thoughts changed once more.
Qiao Jierou cried tears of joy. “Okay! Brother Heng, I can finally marry you!”
The weather was perfect.
Because it had rained on the first day, there was a very fresh smell in the air that made one feel refreshed.
Qiao Weiyang drove to the Xiao family’s house early in the morning to pick up Xiao Qing.
“I’m here. I have the headlights on. Come straight to my car when you get out.”
After Qiao Weiyang finished calling Xiao Qing, she put away her cell phone. A moment later, she saw Xiao Qing walking out of the neighborhood briskly. Her face was rosy, and it was obvious that she was in a good mood.
After Xiao Qing got into the car, Qiao Weiyang asked with a smile, “You seem to be doing well recently. How’s your physical condition?”
“It’s good, but there are occasional dull pains, so I think I need to undergo a more detailed check-up today.”
“No problem. I’ll go with you.” Qiao Weiyang drove to the hospital.
She reached out to feel Xiao Qing’s pulse and frowned slightly.
“How is it? Is there something wrong with me?” Xiao Qing asked nervously.
“You have to take care of yourself more recently. When the doctor examines you later, you can ask the doctor in detail,” Qiao Weiyang said.
Xiao Qing nodded. “Alright, I’ll be careful. By the way, I still have to ask you for a favor later.”
“A wedding gown and jewelry, I know. I’ll prepare them for you even without you asking for them. I promised you a long time ago.”
“I’ve basically prepared everything else, but I want your designs for these two things. I don’t like anything else I see. When the time comes, I’ll go to the mall to buy some last-minute things.”
Qiao Weiyang parked the car and accompanied Xiao Qing for her check-up. After registering, she went in with her.
During the detailed check-up, Qiao Weiyang stood outside and waited because she could not be inside with Xiao Qing.
Hearing footsteps, she subconsciously looked to the side and saw Lin Heng and Qiao Jierou walking over.
Qiao Weiyang had never thought that she would meet them like this. However, it was not a big deal to meet them. It was as normal as meeting cats and dogs when she went out.
“Sister.” Qiao Jierou’s face was filled with joy as she showed off. “You’re here too?”
Qiao Weiyang lazily lifted her eyelashes and looked at her without saying anything.
Lin Heng looked at her nervously. For the past few days, he had been looking forward to her reaction and response.
But there was nothing at all. She hadn’t called. There had been no movement, no reaction.
It was as if she had really disappeared from his world.
“Weiyang, what are you doing here?” Lin Heng asked nervously as he glanced at the sign outside the room that read ‘maternity examination room.’
“Sister should be accompanying her friend from last time. Xiao Qing, right? Is she here for a check-up?” Qiao Jierou didn’t want Qiao Weiyang to be well, nor did she want her to affect Lin Heng’s mood. She immediately explained.
“Yes,” Qiao Weiyang replied simply.
“I see.” Lin Heng’s tightened heart secretly relaxed, as if a huge rock had been lifted from his heart.
Qiao Jierou was very dissatisfied with Lin Heng’s reaction. She endured the dissatisfaction in her heart and said with a smile, “Sister, Brother Heng and I are doing a premarital check-up. After getting the report, we’re going to register our marriage. I’m really happy that we’ve finally come this far. Although some things happened some time ago, I wasn’t let down in the end.”
Her hatred for Qiao Weiyang surpa.s.sed everything, but in front of Lin Heng, she still showed restraint.
However, she was showing off too much. Lin Heng kept frowning when he heard that. Only then did he remember that every time Qiao Jierou saw Qiao Weiyang, she would have this att.i.tude.
At that time, he felt that this was a sign that Qiao Jierou loved him deeply. Now, from the perspective of a bystander, he could see clearly that he was just a tool for her to show off and a way to suppress Qiao Weiyang.
A sense of dread and displeasure rose in him. He had mixed feelings.
“Sister, when the time comes, can you come to my wedding with Brother Heng? Although we had some conflicts previously, we’re sisters, after all. I hope that we can forget everything that happened in the past.”
“I’m not free,” Qiao Weiyang said simply.
“Sister…” Qiao Jierou wanted to persuade her again.
Lin Heng only felt embarra.s.sed. He could tell that Qiao Weiyang had really moved on. She no longer paid attention to anything going on between him and Qiao Jierou. She had long stepped out from the shackles of the past.
He grabbed Qiao Jierou’s arm. “Since Weiyang doesn’t want to attend, don’t pester her. There’s no benefit in forcing her.”
“It’s good that you know. By the way, this is the examination area. Can you stop talking?”
Facing Qiao Weiyang’s dominance and pride, Lin Heng pulled Qiao Jierou and turned to leave.
“Brother Heng, I really don’t have any ill intentions. What can I do to Sister at the wedding? I only invited her so that we could maintain our sisterhood.”
“Sisterhood? I don’t want to hear that word again. From the beginning to the end, only Weiyang alone has shown respect. You have nothing to do with that word. She shows us respect, but you show off in front of her every time. What exactly are you thinking?”
Qiao Jierou felt extremely aggrieved. “I’m just very happy about marrying you and want everyone’s blessings. Why are you saying that I’m showing off?”
“You know very well the kinds of thoughts in your head.” Lin Heng didn’t want to explain more to her, nor did he want to beat about the bush.
“Brother Heng, could it be that you’re unwilling to invite people to our ceremony? Isn’t this the most important day in our lives?”
Qiao Jierou asked miserably, wanting to get an answer.
Lin Heng turned around and looked at her. “Jierou, I did agree to marry you, but I also promised my mother that we wouldn’t have a wedding.”
“What?” Qiao Jierou felt as if she had been struck by lightning. “What do you mean?”
“We can get married, but we won’t hold a wedding. We’ll just register our marriage. The wedding is just a ceremony, and I don’t want to hold such a ceremony in the middle of the storm. The influence of JR’s matter is already very bad. If we make such a big fuss, it will definitely cause many people to rebel.”
Qiao Jierou felt powerless. The thing she yearned for the most was to marry Lin Heng in the most beautiful wedding dress.
