The pain suppressed in Darren’s heart eventually broke out. When he looked at Lingjiao, there was only hate and coldness in his eyes without any warmth.
Lingjiao was covered by such coldness, as if she was trapped in an icehouse so that she was too numb to move.
“Darren, you are just blinded by anger.” She was never willing to accept the truth.
“Lingjiao, I hate you!” Finishing these words, Darren turned around and left in order not to stay with her.
She stared at the closed door until her eyes got sore and she was near to tears. She started to bawl when she felt the pain was piercing through her body
Today it was as if she had fallen from heaven to hell. She could feel Darren’s determination that he would never get back to her.
Jemima opened the door and stood there, looking at her sympathetically, “Ms. Xiao, please don’t cry. You have just miscarried. Crying is bad for your eyes.”
Lingjiao didn’t respond but kept crying.
“I understand that you are sad losing the child, but your health is more important.” Jemima came up trying to hold her.
“Don’t touch me!” She shook Jemima’s hands off with tears on her face.
She stood up slowly with a trace of malice in her eyes and rushed out of the ward.
She ran towards an elevator and saw Darren enter it.
She took the elevator to the sixth floor and eased towards the door of Carmen’s ward when it was in the dead of night.
She opened the door and entered the ward. There she saw Darren through the lounge door.
He sat by Carmen’s bed. His face was not as cold and gloomy as before but mild.
“Have a Drink, mom.” He handed a cup of water to Carmen, “I have asked the doctor. He said you are all right now and you can leave here tomorrow.”
“My body is all right and the wound can heal as well. But, I am still feeling nervous…”
She sighed before finishing her words, “I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed that the baby Lingjiao is carrying is not yours, not Jin.
Darren, Lingjiao is wily, Recalling how badly she had treated Zhan in those days and let you and Zhan end in regret, I am afraid that you will fall for her trick.”
“Mom, don’t worry.” Darren held her hands and smiled, “I have made it clear to her that our relationship is over.”
“Really?” Carmen was surprised, “Have you given it careful thought? What about the baby? What if the baby is yours?”
“Mom, the baby can’t be mine.” Darren wiped away her concern, “I am done with her, so please don’t hurt yourself anymore. Mom, I do things by measure and by reason. What you need to do is trust me.”
“So did you stay with her before so as to make sure if the baby is yours?” She figured out the reason that only when he was with Lingjiao could he verify whether Lingjiao had lied.
“Yes.” He didn’t tell her the truth, “Now everything is clear, there is no need to keep her. I gave her a divorce agreement. If she doesn’t sign within three days, I will take legal action. Mom, I am always your good son.”
Carmen stretched out her hand to fondle his head and her eyes were moist, “Now I am relieved. Darren, Lingjiao doesn’t deserve you. Even if the baby is yours, I won’t let her be with you and get in the Jin family.”
“Mom, don’t mention her anymore.” Darren even felt disgusted when hearing her name.
“Okay, I won’t mention her anymore.” Carmen smiled with delight and this was her most sincere smile these days.
Hearing that, Lingjiao was totally upset. She returned to her own ward absent-mindedly.
With the talk between Carmen and Darren in her mind, she was rendered extremely painful by their harsh words. Her chest was sore as if blocked by dark clouds.
Lingjiao kicked out Jemima and took out her phone, “Hepeng…”
Hepeng heard her crying and asked, “What happened?”
After crying for a while, she sniffled, “Hepeng, I am fine. We need to fix Carmen right away.”
“Right away? Like… now?” He asked.
“The sooner the better. I can’t wait another second.”
She acted like a spoiled child, which worked for Hepeng every time. She said, “Carmen will be discharged tomorrow.”
“Okay. I get it. Wait for my good news.” He promised.
Throwing the phone on the bed, she sat on the bed with her knees bent, held her legs in arms, put her chin on legs and stared straight with evil thoughts in her mind.
In her mind, Carmen was the biggest barricade that kept her away from Darren and stirred things up.
And it was also because Carmen liked Zhan so that Darren broke up with her. Therefore, Carmen had to be killed.
In fact, she was just cheating herself as if been bewitched by a demon.
Zhan would follow Carmen. Only one of them could survive and that would be Lingjiao herself.
***
Zhan brought grandpa home recently and his work was going well. Because of work, he had more contact with Darren than before, but he had talked only about work with him and kept him at a distance.
This afternoon he would have a negotiation with Darren in terms of work in the Beach Hotel.
“Zhan, thanks for your efforts these days. I would like to treat you to dinner.”
“Mr. Jin, I…” His phone rang and it was Yibo, “Honey, I have been here and you can come down now.”
Zhan glanced at Darren and said, “Mr. Jin, I am sorry that my husband has come to pick me up.”
“Okay, I’ll bring you there.” Darren was a little bit upset.
“No, thanks.” Zhan was afraid that Yibo and Darren would get angry when meeting each other.
“But I also need to go downstairs. Let’s go.” Darren walked towards an elevator.
Getting out of the hotel, Zhan saw Yibo standing in front of the car. He was tall and attractively handsome.
Seeing them come out together, Yibo walked up to them and held Zhan’s shoulder, “Thank you, Mr. Jin.”
“Mr. Wang, are you available today? I would like to treat you and Zhan to dinner.”
“What a pity! We are trying on wedding dresses today.” Yibo showed it off to Darren.
Hearing that, Darren tried hard to keep calm on the surface, but there was a storm in his heart and disappointments in his eyes.
“Well, Congratulations.” Darren smiled bitterly and sent them his sincere wishes.
Although he was reluctant and upset, he clearly knew that he was not qualified to give Zhan happiness. Why not bless them generously?
“Thanks.” Zhan appreciated that and gave his wishes, “I hope one day you can find your happiness.”
Maybe he had complained of God’s injustice to him and of Darren’s distrust, but now the misunderstanding between him and Darren had been cleared up.
The reason why they would be like this was mostly because of Lingjiao’s tricks, so Zhan didn’t hate Darren and now he regarded him as his friend and brother.
“Let’s go.” Yibo opened the door and helped him get in the car considerately. Then he got on the car and left.
He held to the wheel and glanced at Zhan next to him, “Let’s have dinner first.”
“Try on the dresses first, or I am afraid that I will be too full to wear them.” Zhan asked, “Has Jiyang arrived?”
Zhan had made an appointment with Jiyang that they needed to get married on the same day or be the other’s bridesmaid. However, when Jiyang got married, he was not in Chongqing. Now he was going to have a wedding, but Jiyang was married.
It was said that once getting married, one could not be groomsman or bridesmaid. So it was a pity for them.
However, Zhan didn’t care about it. He just wanted his best confidante to be his bridesmaid even though Jiyang had been married.
“Just ask him.” Yibo’s voice was filled with pleasure because their wedding was approaching. He was so expectant and excited that he was just like an immature youth.
After Zhan texted to ask Jiyang, he looked up at his handsome face, “Do you mind if I insist on him being my bridesmaid? Would your family..”
“As long as you are happy.” His face was filled with affection for Zhan and his voice was so mild, “As my wife, you don’t need to care about how others view or think of you. I will always be with you.”
Zhan was overwhelmed by such warm words, his heart bursting with happiness.
“Thanks for your consideration. I appreciate it.” Zhan laid his hand on Yibo’s knee.
“Polite again? How can I make my wife remember to stop thanking me for this and that?” Yibo stopped the car when the traffic light turned red.
He held Zhan’s hand and unfastened his seat belt. He leaned forward and kissed his lips, then there was a tenderness between their lips.

Before the traffic light turned green, he had already fastened his seat belt and started the car.
Soon they reached the best wedding dress store in Chongqing.
Jiyang was there waiting for them and drinking coffee elegantly.
“Here you are!” Jiyang put down the platinum coffee mug and stood up.
“Have you selected the dress?” Zhan asked.
“Zhan, come and see who this is.” Jiyang brought him to the zone for wedding dresses.
Then the silk drapery of the circular dressing room was pulled back by the staff and a woman in purple came out.
“Lulu?” Zhan was surprised to see her.
He hadn’t taken time off to tell Lulu about the wedding. Because he wanted to go to Tianjin to send Lulu an invitation in person once the date was fixed so as to surprise her.
However, Zhan was one who was surprised.
“Zhan, congratulations!” Lulu stepped forward and her smile revealed her blessing for Zhan.
“Thanks.” Zhan received her wishes and said to Jiyang, “Do you want Lulu to be my bridesmaid with you? It’s a great idea.”
That his best friends could be his bridesmaid really made him happy.
“Zhan, I know Lulu is your best friend in Tianjin and it was she that helped you get through the toughest years. Therefore, she is more suitable to be your bridesmaid.” Jiyang made efforts to persuade Lulu to cooperate with him, “Compared with the bridesmaid, I have a preferred role in your wedding.”
“What’s that?” Zhan asked.
“The wedding MC.” Jiyang said, “Though we cannot be each other’s bridesmaid, our sincerity is enough. Moreover, Lulu is single, and I am married. So she needs more chances to meet some single men.”
“Have you considered it carefully?” Zhan didn’t continue to persuade him, because no one could change what he decided.
“Sure.” Jiyang nodded and looked at Yibo behind Zhan, “However, to be the wedding MC needs Mr. Wang’s agreement.”
“It will be okay if I agree. Don’t mind about him.” Zhan held Jiyang’s and Lulu’s hands, “I will be happy as long as you are here.”
“…” Jiyang glanced at Yibo who was not able to join their conversation.
Yibo mildly held Zhan’s shoulders in his arms and said, “It depends on Mrs. Wang.”
“Mr. Wang, are you scared of your wife?” Jiyang wanted to laugh, but he dared not.
“No. I respect him no matter what he does.” Yibo explained.
“Okay, I understand.” Jiyang nodded, “Then it’s a deal.”
“Sure, no one can make it except you.” Zhan thought that would be a good arrangement.
“Okay, now try on your wedding dresses with Mr. Wang. Lulu and I haven’t had dinner. We are looking forward to your treat.”
Jiyang pushed him towards the three models in wedding dresses in the middle.
Yibo had been taken to the other dressing room by other staff.
“These three wedding dresses were just shipped back from Europe. They are not only man-made and are the latest styles, but also the most beautiful. Pick one and we are going to take the fabulous wedding photos. The most fascinated ones!”
Jiyang introduced the dresses to Zhan.
Looking at the three red holy wedding dresses, Zhan couldn’t help admiring the designers who made the wedding dresses. They were so beautiful that he dared not touch them.
“Lulu, which one do you think is the best? I have difficulty in choosing one. I think they are all wonderful.” Zhan looked at the delicate lace and the shiny pearl diamond, and found it was hard to pick one that he loved.
“I have no idea either,” replied Lulu.
“If you like them all, take them away to take photos. Anyway, Mr. Wang won’t mind spending money on it.” Jiyang put his arm around Zhan’s shoulder. “Then you don’t have to choose.”
Zhan looked at Jiyang with a look that seemed to say that money was not to be wasted in such way.
“Silly boy, a person only gets married once in his life, so he has to be very beautiful.” Jiyang pointed to one of the dresses and said, “Try all three before you decide.”
Jiyang beckoned the staff to help and led Zhan into the wedding dressing room.
Before Zhan had changed his wedding dress, Yibo had got changed.
He was wearing a pure white shirt, a milky white vest and coat, and a tie of the same color. The white color softened his cold look and lightened his harsh and oppressive aura, making him look tender and gentle.
This man was a synonym for unsurpassed elegance.
Jiyang and Lulu were both fascinated by the noble and elegant Yibo and couldn’t help gazing at him.
Jiyang had seen many excellent men, but a man like Yibo who had superior temperament, was as Yibo as the sun, much more excellent than many other people.
He admitted that Yibo was the most handsome man he had ever seen, but he still had Bowen in his heart. If he were still around, how handsome he would be in a wedding suit.
Thinking of this, Jiyang’s eyes got misty.
At that moment, the staff pulled back the silk curtain and Zhan went out of the dressing room.
Zhan came out of the dressing room slowly, like a noble goddess. His beauty was beyond words.
Zhan noticed something was wrong with Jiyang, “Jiyang, what’s wrong with you?”
Jiyang’s eyes were red. “I’m fine. I just think of him.”
Zhan naturally knew who Jiyang referred to. It was his piano teacher, his first love, Li Bowen.
“Don’t think too much.” Zhan didn’t know what to do to make Jiyang get over the man. “He misses you in the other world and wants you to be happy.”
Jiyang took a deep breath and raised a bright smile, “Well, it’s your happy day today. Don’t focus on me. You are the protagonists.”

Jiyang pushed Zhan to Yibo and let them stand straight. Then he turned to Lulu and said, “Lulu, do you think they are a perfect match?”
“Of course.” Lulu gave a thumb up at Zhan.
Zhan knew that these two friends would make him happy by saying nice things.
He tilted his head and looked up at Yibo. “Do I look good in this dress?”
“No one is more beautiful than you, Mrs. Wang,” Yibo said seriously.
“Oh, how sweet they are.” Jiyang pretended to look jealous.
“Mr. Jiyang, you’re jealous.” Yibo reached out to hold Zhan by the waist. “For the sake that you are Zhan’s good friend, I won’t quarrel with you.”
Jiyang’s eyes widened. “Well, I am jealous,” Jiyang admitted.
“Darling, change another suit and I will also change another. Let’s see which one is more beautiful.” Zhan sent Yibo away.
In this way, Zhan changed the three wedding dresses, and Yibo, like Jiyang, ordered all wedding dresses. What’s more, they were Chinese-styled. So, it added up to almost ten sets up of dresses.
Since Yibo didn’t feel it bothered, Zhan just accepted it.
It was dark after they tried on the wedding clothes, and they were all hungry and tired. And then, the four of them went to Jiyang’s restaurant and had a feast.
Zhan and Lulu talk a lot… She also confessed that she was in a relationship now with Cao Yuchen. First Zhan was surprised but after Lulu explained he was very happy for both, how their parents arranged the date for them, they both were surprised when they met on date…
Yuchen knew Lulu, So he requested her to accept this relationship in front of their parents. So they will not force them to meet or date others. Lulu was also tired, because her parents always arrange someone to meet her.
So they started fake relationships in front of their parents, but after a long time their fake relationship turned into real.
After listening to her, Zhan and Jiyang tease Lulu a lot.
Yibo arranged a room for Lulu at the Four Seasons Hotel, because she didn’t want to see Jiyang and Zhan, a married couple showing affection in front of her and didn’t want to disturb them.
So, Lulu was sent to the Four Seasons Hotel.
Jiyang and Zhan bade goodbyes and went home respectively.
Back at home, Zhan went to see her daughter first. Fei was lying in bed.
When Zhan came back, Fei asked Zhan to tell her a bedtime story.
Yibo, on the other hand, went to the study after he received a phone call.
“Mr. Wang, I will act tomorrow. I will do what I promised you and I will give you the evidence.” the man said. “But there are some things I need your help.”
“Yes?” Yibo answered him quickly.
Then the man explained the plan briefly and highlighted what he was going to do.
“That’s what you have to do, I’m sure she can’t escape this time.” The man was full of confidence. “Let her have a good taste of what I have had.”
