October 1st, the leaves of early autumn spread all over the ground, the streets are sprinkled with a layer of golden gingko leaves on both sides.
Soo Guoguo arrived at the hotel just in time, and right as she reached the guest seats, the host was reading the wedding speech into the microphone.
She didn't find the wedding speech from the host interesting, what she was interested in was how her friend would look in her wedding gown during her grand entrance.
"Yuxi, in your wedding dress, I bet you're stunning. I can't wait to see you walking down the aisle." At the guest table, Soo Guoguo gazed intently at the entrance, through which the bride and groom would make their appearance, with joyous excitement in her eyes.
"Now, let's welcome our handsome best man and our beautiful maid of honor to open the door of happiness for our bride and groom!"
The lights in the venue went out as soon as the host finished his lines. Then, a spotlight shined on the T-shaped stage laid with a red carpet.
Before Soo Guoguo had a chance to redirect her gaze, a male figure swaggered into her line of sight.
On the T-shaped stage with the red carpet, Gu Yichen walked with a beautiful woman on his arm, taking steady steps towards the host in unison.
From the guests' table against the light, Soo Guoguo stared in a daze at the familiar figure on the stage, different emotions overlapping in her heart.
The man she had been avoiding for five years appeared before her eyes without warning, her heart pounded and was filled with shock. At this moment, all she could think about was to run.
But reality told her she could not and should not do so. This was her best friend's wedding, the most important moment in her life, and she couldn't miss it.
Regardless, she would have to wait until after the ceremony to leave.
Some people are born privileged.
The man on the stage was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, his body tall and straight. The tailored shirt perfectly accentuated his physique, his eyebrows, his eyes, and his exceedingly handsome facial features all highlighting his inherent superiority.
The woman beside him wore a strapless white dress, looking at him with an affectionate and shy face.
The man's aura was overwhelmingly strong, strong enough to make Su Guoguo feel as though she was about to mistake him for the groom at this wedding.
"Next, let's welcome our bride and groom to the stage," announced the host, his voice filled with anticipation and excitement, as if he were the one getting married.
As the 'Wedding March' played, Su Guoguo pulled her emotions together. A warm smile blossomed on her face with a sparkle of joy in her eyes.
Watching her best friend dressed in a beautiful white wedding gown, Su Guoguo burst into tears of excitement.
Following that, the new couple, under the scrutiny of hundreds of pairs of eyes, concluded their sacred wedding ceremony.
"Sister Yu Xi, you look beautiful in your wedding dress. I have something to do, so I'll leave first. 'Happy Wedding'!" Sending the message left her fingers shaking. As she grabbed her purse and headed towards the exit, Su Guoguo hoped deep down that the man hadn't seen her.
With her heart beating out of her chest and her footsteps unsteady in her ten centimeter heels, Su Guoguo was desperate to leave.
Yet fate played its cruel joke. The more you wanted to avoid someone, the harder it was to actually do so.
In the hotel hallway,
Su Guoguo clenched her hands hanging by her side, gripping her skirt tightly. Her fair and soft face displayed her inner turmoil.
Gu Yichen stood in her way, blocking her path. When she moved left, he moved left. When she moved right, he moved right.
