Just as Cheng Qingchong thought everything was set in stone, during a charity dinner where she accompanied Su Zhinian to, she ran into a friend whom she had enquired about Qin Yinan from earlier. When they were catching up, the friend suddenly remembered and informed her, "Hey, remember you asking about updates on Qin Yinan? He"s getting married to Song Empire"s young lady soon. If I"m not mistaken, the wedding date is March 14th, White Valentine."
Cheng Qingchong heard the news and was stunned beyond words. She eventually came to. She smiled thinly at her friend and excused herself. Cheng Qingchong was used to social gatherings like a dinner party, but she found herself a corner and hid herself from any social interaction that night.
The chandelier lit up the dinner hall, and like usual, she managed to pick out Su Zhinian"s shadow among the many guest with just one look. The man looked calm and serene on the surface; it seemed like he had all the time in the world.
She had been tricked by this demeanor of his… She spent time with him daily, but she still failed to notice any flaw in him. Had he hidden it too well?
Big Boss chose to suffer the pain and agony silently and alone. In the darkest hour of the night, will he have difficulty sleeping or shed tears thinking about Miss Song"s upcoming marriage like he used to?
Before the dinner ended, Cheng Qingchong messaged Su Zhinian, saying that she need to leave early because she was not feeling well. That night, she could not sleep at all. The next day, she asked for a day-off from work and went to the hospital.
She found an old friend and chatted with her for a long time. In the end, she gave her friend a stack of money and finally got what she needed—a fake certificate.
It was already 3 pm when she exited the hospital. She hailed a cab to return to her residential area. She didn"t hurry to return to her room but sat in the park on a bench and allowed the chilling wind to ravage her. She sat there in contemplation for a long time before she pulled out the fake certificate that she had wrangled from the hospital. She snapped a few pictures and sent them to Qin Yinan.
Since I"ve taken the first wrong step, there"s no reason not to walk this road to this end, right?
I must be mad… Perhaps, but as long as I have a breath in me, I will not allow anyone to steal Big Boss" love away from him!
…
Song Qingchun walked along the deep winter streets aimlessly for some time before she joined the hurrying crowd into the subway. She swiped her public transport card and allowed herself to be carried into the train by the crowd.
She remained on the train until it reached its end and got off because she felt the station name look quite familiar. Coming out of the subway entrance, she took a left and walked for about ten minutes. She found herself at the corner leading into s.h.i.+ning Light Residences.
She walked along the sidewalk and took multiple turns. When she stopped ten minutes later, she realized that she had wandered to Su Zhinian"s bungalow without realizing. Ever since she came to his place and overheard his conversation with Auntie Su, she had never returned.
Ever since they had known each other, the best memories that they shared had all happened within this bungalow.
Since they returned from Hai Nan, Song Qingchun had promised herself that she would let many things go, but when she was standing in front of this bungalow and when she raised her head to look at the building that was washed in the burnished glow of the setting sun, many memories rushed into her mind.
