"Sis, please believe me, I didn't mean to sabotage your and Yichen’s wedding.”

- On the other end of the video call, Pei Jinyuan tried to explain with a guilty look on her face. "An accident occurred during my performance, and Yichen was delayed by rushing me to the hospital and missed his flight back home."

Pei Jinyan looked stunned – was this the case of a jilted bride?

Bridesmaid Sheng Yanan immediately exploded, “Lu Yichen, what the hell are you doing? The wedding is about to start, and you are still abroad?"

The about-to-be groom Lu Yichen appeared on the video screen, "I’ve booked a flight back home for tomorrow morning—"

Before he could finish, Sheng Yanan abruptly interrupted him, “Lu Yichen, remember that it's your wedding. This is the first time I've ever seen a groom abandon his bride at the hotel! Do you know how many guests have arrived in the hall? How do you expect her to face them?"

Lu Yichen responded with severity, "Jinyuan fell from the stage during her performance, how could I stand by and watch her suffer without care?"

Sheng Yanan sneered, "Lu Yichen, you haven't married your bride yet, and you're already getting cosy with her sister?"

Lu Yichen's face darkened. "Sheng Yanan, what nonsense are you talking about? Jinyuan is Jinyan’s sister. How could I turn a blind eye when she's in a situation?"

Sheng Yanan retorted, "I'm just afraid you've seen more than you should have."

"Sheng Yanan!" Lu Yichen was outraged: "This is between Jinyan and me, why are you sticking your oar in?"

Sheng Yanan laughed derisively, "You want your bride to go out, smile at the guests and say, 'Sorry, the groom is busy accompanying his future sister-in-law, couldn't make it back in time for the wedding. The ceremony will be postponed until tomorrow. Please come back then'? "

Lu Yichen finally snapped, “Sheng Yanan, shut up!”

The silent Pei Jinyan finally spoke, “I won’t postpone the wedding!”

Before Lu Yichen could say anything, Pei Jinyan hung up the phone.

Sheng Yanan gave Pei Jinyan a thumbs-up and said, "Did you know you looked like a female knight just now when you hung up the phone?"

"But," Sheng Yanan was troubled, "How is the wedding supposed to take place if the groom is not here?"

Sheng Yanan noticed Pei Jinyan was looking at her.

Sheng Yanan smirked: “Don’t tell me that I should dress up as a man and marry you? I don’t mind, but I’m afraid Uncle Pei might kill me.”

“Don’t overthink,” Pei Jinyan said seriously, “We're going to look for someone who can go through the wedding ceremony with me now.”

“What?” Sheng Yanan was shocked, “You can’t be doing this on purpose to upset Lu Yichen. Although he can be an ass, but who in Luo City doesn’t know you're his sweetheart?”

Pei Jinyan gave a wry smile. Lu Yichen, he wasn’t just nice to her, but he was good to everyone.

This made her wonder who he truly cared for more.

If he were indifferently kind to everyone, then she might as well not have him.

Maybe she was being spiteful, or being stubborn.

Anyhow, she didn’t want to continue with this life anymore.

She said: “Luo City is so big, I should be able to find someone who can hold a wedding ceremony with me, right?”

Sheng Yanan quickly went through her mind, “Among our circle, everyone seems to know everyone. Which one of them isn’t an irresponsible scum? Who could match up to you? Even myself——”

She sighed, “I was quite someone wherever I would go, but standing next to you, I'm pushed into a supporting role.”

Pei Jinyan couldn't help but laugh, “Even though it's an attempt at flattery, it sounds pretty nice.”

Sheng Yanan chuckled, then continued, “Perhaps we should just wait for that bastard Lu Yichen to come back?”
