Su Wanwan looked up and glanced at the clock on the wall of the waiting room, the hour hand had already pointed to eleven o'clock, but Pei Muniang still hadn't arrived.

  It's already been two hours, even with traffic jams, I should have arrived by now.

  So, did he have something else come up at the last minute or did he change his mind?

  Su Wanwan couldn't express her feelings at this moment, she wanted him to regret it, but in fact, she didn't want to force him to marry her either. Yet, she was afraid he would regret it, after all... the Su family was pressing down on them.

  Su Wanwan took out her phone, hesitating whether to call him and ask, but the words he said to her last night involuntarily floated into her ears again, and her fingers stiffened once more.

  If I call him again, he will probably say some very unpleasant things, right?

  Su Wan is now really afraid of what he said, because every word he says is like a sharp knife that pierces the bone and hurts too much.

  -

  Pei Muniang had been sleepless for a whole night. He sat on the bed, watching the dark curtain gradually turn white as the sun rose and the sunlight shone in.

  Today is a good day for weddings.

  That was not the day his mother had chosen for him, but he himself flipped through the calendar and found a good day that was closest.

  Even if he denies it a million times, he can't deceive his own heart. His answer to the question Lu Sheng asked him before was affirmative.

  Marrying her is because he still loves her, yet also because he still loves her, so he hates her scheming even more, and hates that she doesn't love him.

  He watched as the clock ticked away, time slipping away, and suddenly felt a twinge of hesitation. Was he really going to keep a woman who didn't love him by his side in such a way?

  He thought for a long time, but there was no answer.

  He knew that if he didn't hold on tight, he would never get Su Wanwan in this lifetime.

  In her mind, she couldn't help but recall the words she had spoken to him that day in the hotel room: "You said I shouldn't appear before you again. From now on...I won't appear before you again, never again..."

  It was as if three years ago he said don't let him see her again and she really didn't...let him see her for three years.

  Pei Muni thought and thought, and his heart couldn't help but be stained with a hint of fear.

  The pain of three years ago, the heart-wrenching days since then, he didn't want to spend his whole life like this, it's better for him to tie her to his side, even if they torment each other.

  Pei Mu Nian immediately got out of bed, quickly washed and dressed, then grabbed his wallet and car keys, and quickly went out the door.

  Pei Muniannian stepped on the gas, speeding all the way, and arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau in just over twenty minutes. It was now 11:55, only five minutes away from the end of the morning shift.

  He got off the car, slammed the door shut and strode into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

  -

  Su Wanwan lifted her head for the nth time to look at the time, then swept her gaze around again. Originally, the place was packed with people, but now only she remained...

  Su Wanwan knew that she probably didn't need to wait anymore, Pei Muniang might be... unwilling to marry her.

  Although she thought it was okay, she couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable loss deep down. She curled her lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, then stood up, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave.

  Suddenly, a tall figure walked into the waiting room. Su Wanwan looked over and was stunned for a moment. Then, her beautiful big eyes couldn't help but flash with a hint of brightness, and her voice carried a slight lightness, "Pei Muniang, you're here..."
