Thinking back, he had stopped talking to Lin Qianqian ever since he got back with Song Xiangsi. Yesterday, after he had overworked himself the night before and had a long meeting, he decided to take a nap in his lounge area at work. At that moment, Lin Qianqian had come over, pouncing onto him and demanding to know when they were going to hold a wedding.

The moment he had heard the question, Song Xiangsi's image popped into his mind. He hesitated for a long while before randomly throwing out an excuse - after she graduated.

Lin Qianqian continued to ramble on afterwards about the wedding details, and weirdly, he felt strangely pressured. After enduring it for a short while, he pushed her off violently, heading to the restroom.

After that incident, his heart started to waver.

Was marriage between companies really that beneficial?

Didn't his parents end up in a tragedy?

What about Lu Jinnian and Qiao Anhao? They didn't quarrel and lived their lives in happiness, even if they bickered, it was overflowing with joy and love.

Their love seemed to be infectious, causing him to desire more...

"Xu Jiamu? What are you doing here?" Lu Jinnian asked when he saw him outside the restroom.

Xu Jiamu extinguished the cigarette silently, washed his hands and headed out. Just when he was about to enter the changing room, the female changing room opened and Song Xiangsi walked out in a white lace gown, her hair done up into a tight bun.

He stopped in his tracks, staring at her as Zhao Meng continuously sang praises to her beauty.

Even though it was just a bridesmaid's gown, it was still beautiful enough to shake him, leaving him mesmerized and in awe.

The image of Song Xiangsi as a bride flowed into his mind uncontrollably, how pretty would that be?

Song Xiangsi as a bride... Who would the groom be?

Xu Jiamu's heart fell.

He honestly had no idea why he had helped Song Xiangsi seven years ago, and even maliciously kept her by his side for so many years.

He had always thought that he would end up in a corporate wedding during those seven years, and so he had disregarded the happy memories. Not once had he thought of marrying her and never once thought that she could marry someone else.

But now, the moment he imagined her being someone else's ravishing bride, he couldn't help feeling empty and cold. It felt as though someone had dug out his heart.

"Brother Jiamu, why are you in a daze?" Qiao Anhao's clear voice sounded, snapping him out of his daze.

Xu Jiamu struggled to move his gaze away from Song Xiangsi. "What's up?"

Lu Jinnian pointed to the designer who had pushed a few male suits into the room. "Try the clothes."

"Oh." Acknowledging his tasks, he entered the changing room.

-

Qiao Anxia knew that Lu Jinnian and Qiao Anhao were having a fitting at "Bliss for a Hundred Years" tonight. Her mother had informed her two days ago, reminding her to try the clothes that she had ordered for her.

After crying for half the night, Qiao Anxia's eyes were terribly swollen the next day. Even though she had never intended to attend the fitting, she hesitated, finally deciding to drive over.
