Chapter 268: Mr. Tang, Come Marry Me

5:00 PM.

Guangying Media (Imperial Capital) Branch.

"Wenzhe, the complete cost budget is printed, here."

"Thank you, Sister Li."

"I've already reviewed the PPT here, confirmed there are no problems."

…

After packing and organizing the documents, Wen Ruan sat quietly at her workstation, with no abnormalities visible on the surface.

This made Zhang Xintong next to her breathe a sigh of relief.

Ever since noon, Wen Ruan had been a bit silent, but after throwing herself into work, she performed very normally.

She was still that serious and responsible planning team leader.

Opened her phone and left a message on Tang Song's WeChat: "Everything is normal, maybe it was work pressure before, in a bad mood, it's fine now."

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—"

【Tang Song: "WeChat transfer 10000.00, please collect"】

【Tang Song: "Thank you, Xintong. I'm going to attend a banquet later. Help her order something delicious, or take her to a big meal nearby, tease her, and chat with her at night."】

"Holy crap!" A suppressed exclamation rang out.

"What's wrong, Xintong?"

Colleagues around cast surprised gazes.

Zhang Xintong waved her hand hurriedly: "Nothing, nothing, just thought a bug fell on my leg, hehe."

After saying that, she replied excitedly: "No, no, this is too much! Ordering a meal costs at most a few hundred!"

【Tang Song: "Accept it, consider the extra as hard work fee. By the way, there will be things to trouble you to help with later. Also, she likes spicy food, preferably Hunan or Sichuan cuisine."】

Looking at Tang Song's sincere reply, and then looking at the glittering 10,000 yuan, Zhang Xintong almost knelt down.

Instantly realized that Sister Ziqi had taken a kickback from her subordinate!

What kind of fairy boyfriend is this!

LV bag, Rolex watch, Su Yu concert tickets...

To take care of his girlfriend, he directly sent a big red envelope of 10,000 yuan.

Handsome, rich, romantic, high EQ, atmospheric, outstanding temperament.

And according to Sister Wen Ruan, while serving as the CTO of a big company, he also started his own business doing livestreaming e-commerce.

My god! Which woman can withstand such a boy!

Glanced at the quiet and serene Wen Ruan, Zhang Xintong's hand couldn't control clicking to collect.

Yes, I can't withstand it either!

Looking at the string of numbers in the balance.

Zhang Xintong instantly became passionate, opened the Dianping APP, and found a Sichuan restaurant with a very good reputation on the must-eat list.

Leaned over to Wen Ruan and whispered: "Dear Sister Wen Ruan, we are getting off work soon, I'll treat you to something delicious! Let's take a taxi directly!"

Wen Ruan glanced at her and shook her head lightly, "Next time, I have an appointment with a college classmate tonight, going to her place for dinner, and trying the bridesmaid dress by the way."

"Eh..." Zhang Xintong, who had just received a large red envelope, felt a bit guilty. She thought for a while and continued: "Then wait until you come back at night, let's go eat some late-night snacks together. Anyway, I have too much money to spend recently, must treat you to a big meal."

"Pfft—" Wen Ruan was amused by her words, "Fine, you're awesome."

Looking at this assistant specialist, Wen Ruan suddenly pointed to her laptop.

Zhang Xintong blinked, not reacting for a moment.

"Tap, tap, tap" keyboard tapping sound rang out.

Immediately after, a WeChat message popped up on her laptop.

【Sister Wen Ruan: "Xintong, I'm going to jump ship after returning from the Imperial Capital this time. You've been following me for almost a year, and our cooperation has always been very good. If you are willing, you can follow me over. The new company is the Yancheng branch of Xingyun International Group."】

Seeing the content of the message, Zhang Xintong's heart jumped.

She naturally knows Xingyun International Group, Wen Ruan's previous work unit, the industry leader, the giant.

Compared with it, Guangying Media can only be said to be in the development stage.

If she can enter Xingyun International, for her who just graduated for a year, it is definitely a precious opportunity.

Even if she jumps ship again in the future, it counts as having work experience in a big company.

【Sister Wen Ruan: "Consider it carefully, no rush, this matter won't be that fast, it's estimated to be in August."】

Zhang Xintong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and typed and replied vigorously: "Sister, I'm willing! If you need me, you must take me!"

Just kidding, these are secondary.

The key is that Wen Ruan's boyfriend is Tang Song!

A ruthless person who directly transferred 10,000 yuan to her little assistant.

If she follows Sister Wen Ruan in the future, even if it happens occasionally, it will be enough to make her rich!

…

Time approached 6:00 PM.

Wen Ruan submitted today's work log and started packing her things, preparing to get off work.

"Tap, tap, tap," a heavy footstep suddenly approached.

"Don't leave yet, Wen Ruan, the budget control mechanism and evaluation criteria you sent me have some problems, change them again." Liu Chuanzheng stood beside the desk, looking at her with a calm expression.

Wen Ruan furrowed her brows slightly: "Liu Zong, this material was made according to our company's template, it has always been like this."

"But this time our client is Meigou Technology, it should be more flexible, right?"

Took a deep breath, Wen Ruan's hand pinched the shoulder strap of her bag, looking at Liu Chuanzheng with sharp eyes.

This afternoon, the other party sent her a few more hypocritical messages.

After not getting her reply, he started playing small tricks.

Currently, they and Meigou are still in the negotiation stage, and the content related to the budget is not important.

Looking at that disgusting face, Wen Ruan's already out-of-control emotions appeared with violent fluctuations again.

Her face instantly turned cold, "This material was made according to your requirements, Liu Zong. You also replied to the audit approval in the email the day before yesterday. If you think it's inappropriate now, then you change it yourself!"

Hearing Wen Ruan's words, Li Meiling at the opposite workstation instantly beamed with joy.

It's here! Finally here!

She worked so hard to fan the flames, isn't it just for this scene!

It's best if Liu Zong is furious and directly optimizes Wen Ruan.

Then in the future in the company, there will be one less person to add blockage to her, and she can also work comfortably.

Others were all startled by Wen Ruan's sudden outburst, looking at the two tit-for-tat people with uneasy expressions.

Liu Chuanzheng's face turned completely gloomy, pulling his throat and shouting:

"What kind of attitude is this! I worked so hard to bring in a big client for the company, if there is any mistake, can you be responsible!?"

"Fine, don't say anything else, I am very disappointed with your performance and attitude. You don't need to follow the Meigou case, lest it affect our work! If you want to leave, leave now! I will tell the big leaders of the head office about this!"

After saying that, he crossed his arms and looked at her with a solemn expression.

He really didn't expect that Wen Ruan would dare to contradict him in front of so many colleagues!

Completely disregarding the dignity of him, the leader.

This matter will definitely spread in the company, if he doesn't do something, it will be a major blow to his prestige.

The office was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Wen Ruan's brows jumped, and a cold smile rose at the corners of her mouth, "Go to your mother! Are you worthy of being a leader? I am creating benefits for the company, saying it as if this opportunity was given to me by you!"

After saying that, she grabbed a stack of A4 paper on the desk and threw it over hard.

"Slap—" The A4 paper exploded on Liu Chuanzheng's face and fell to the ground.

Zhang Xintong and others saw this and stood up hurriedly.

Some picked up paper, some persuaded peace.

"Sister Wen Ruan, don't be impulsive!"

"Liu Zong, Wen Ruan has been under a lot of work pressure recently, don't be angry, I'll accompany you back to the office."

Liu Chuanzheng's lips trembled slightly, teeth clenched, and a low roar squeezed out from between his teeth.

Now he is in full swing in the company, and he is about to go to the head office to serve as vice president of sales.

Originally, he just wanted to beat Wen Ruan, and then give a sweet date later to get close to her.

Didn't expect things to develop to this extent.

What kind of madness is this crazy woman having!

"Every day just playing with the little power in your hands, idiot! Isn't it just to sleep with me? Go sleep with your mother!"

"Clack!" Wen Ruan pushed the office chair into the desk hard, grabbed her bag, and walked out with big strides.

Her thick long hair swayed slightly, her back was free and sexy.

The employees in the office looked at each other.

Even Li Meiling was startled, feeling inexplicable. According to her understanding, Wen Ruan has always been a person with stable emotions, mature and sensible.

Joining the company for more than two years, it is not that there have been no similar situations.

For example, a big client poured wine for her at the reception banquet and said some harassing words.

At that time, Wen Ruan performed very rationally and responded freely.

Zhang Xintong's eyes changed, she picked up her bag directly, lowered her head, and chased after her quickly.

She naturally knew what she was doing.

If Liu Zong is promoted to vice president of the head office, she will definitely be laid off.

But thinking of Tang Song's words, and the jump-ship opportunity Sister Wen Ruan mentioned.

She still resolutely followed.

"Ding—" The elevator door opened slowly.

"Wait for me, wait for me!" Before the elevator closed, Zhang Xintong rushed up quickly.

Wen Ruan looked at her and said in a low voice: "Xintong, go back to work."

She can not care about being retaliated against, but she doesn't want Zhang Xintong to be implicated.

Zhang Xintong clicked the elevator close button, grabbed her arm, and cared: "Sister Wen Ruan, I've decided to jump ship with you, what am I afraid of! Let's chat together, you can tell me anything you are unhappy about."

"I'm fine, just in a bad mood, I'll adjust in a few days." Wen Ruan pursed her lips, her gaze lowered.

The elevator went down slowly.

Zhang Xintong comforted her in a low voice beside her.

Talking about the rumors about Liu Chuanzheng she heard from other colleagues.

For example, snatching employee performance, divorcing because of cheating, and still fighting a lawsuit for child support with his ex-wife...

The two walked out of the building and walked into Tuanjiehu Subway Station unconsciously.

While waiting for the subway.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—" The phone suddenly vibrated.

Wen Ruan looked at the caller information.

【Director - Ning Song】

Hesitated for a moment, then connected the call, "Director Ning."

Ning Song is a good leader, he was also the one who recruited her at that time, and has always taken good care of her.

Salary increases when it should, and promotion opportunities are given.

Soon, Ning Song's urgent voice came from the receiver: "Wen Ruan, what's going on on your side? Liu Zong in the Imperial Capital said in the executive group that you maliciously sabotaged the cooperation with Meigou, just now the president notified me to transfer you back from the Imperial Capital, this matter is very serious!"

"I haven't done anything harmful to the company, I'm not in the mood to explain the specific situation now. In addition, our company's human resources don't need to think of crooked tricks, I will submit my resignation application in a moment."

"Wen Ruan! What are you doing!? Don't be impulsive, the current environment is not good, I will communicate this matter well with the leaders..."

"No need, Director Ning, thank you for your care for me in the past two years, I'm going to get on the subway, the signal is bad, bye."

Hung up the phone, Wen Ruan opened the browser, logged into the mobile OA system, and submitted the resignation application directly.

Originally, she planned to finish the last work at Guangying Media, and then happily break up with the company peacefully.

However, reality is often full of accidents.

Now she is really not in the mood to continue working.

She also knows her own problem, to put it bluntly, her mentality exploded.

Everyone has a time when they collapse.

The more squeezed, the more surging when it breaks out.

Looking at former colleagues and classmates, career, love, family on the right track.

Thinking of her past ambition, dreams, and current age status, and the future with Tang Song that doesn't know where to go.

Confusion, loss, pain, collapse in her heart...

Now she needs time to heal slowly.

Only then can she provide emotional value to those around her.

Also because of this reason, when Tang Song called her, she could only shirk that work was busy.

Really afraid that her negative emotions would affect him, and also afraid of saying something inappropriate.

After all, she has always been an elegant and gentle sister in front of him.

"Sister Wen Ruan, where are we going now?"

"Line 10 to Yizhuang Line, get off at Yizhuangqiao Subway Station."

……

Banquet hall.

"Chairman Tang! This is the deputy general manager of Yancheng Guzhen Film and Television Base I mentioned to you, Li Quanhong." Liu Fangbo introduced with a red face: "Director Li is also my good friend for many years, our company's current short dramas are all filmed at Guzhen Film and Television Base."

"Hello Chairman Tang! Long admired your name, seeing you is better than hearing about you! Rare to see such an excellent young man in Yancheng."

"Director Li is over-praising."

…

Besides Tang Song and Fanfusushe's two groups, there were also several cooperative partners invited by Liu Fangbo.

The purpose is naturally to increase the company's weight in their minds by taking advantage of this 24 million A-round financing.

6:00 PM.

Everyone sat down at the huge round dining table, and the waiter started serving dishes.

"Ding~" Wine glasses touched, golden wine liquid swayed in the glass.

Cups crossed, pleasantries, entertainment, the atmosphere appeared enthusiastic and harmonious.

The first venture capital investment progressed smoothly, and Tang Song was also exceptionally happy in his heart, drinking a bit more with everyone.

"Chairman Tang."

A faint scent of perfume wafted over.

Lin Empress Mu Xue sat down beside him with an elegant posture, moving the perky buttocks wrapped in the half-skirt.

Leaned to his side, exhaling like orchids: "These are the business cards of the three bosses just now, I have also exchanged contact information with their secretaries and assistants, you can find me anytime if you need."

Her mouth carried a fresh fruity fragrance, entangled with the perfume on her body, warm, and very good to smell.

"Okay." Tang Song nodded with satisfaction and reached out to take it.

Noticing Tang Song's expression, Lin Empress Mu Xue raised her eyes slightly.

In order to prepare to accompany Tang Song to attend the TS negotiation and banquet, she really put in a lot of effort.

Specifically found tutorials online and firmly remembered some business reception etiquette in her heart.

Overall, she was satisfied with herself.

Hope Tang Song can also drink a bit more, by then, she will find an excuse to want to go to Yanjing Tiancheng to take care of him, and logically enter his house.

Then?

Tipsy men and women, ambiguous atmosphere, one-night stand.

Lin Empress Mu Xue couldn't control shaking her legs.

It will be her physiological period soon, hope to eat Tang Song's meat one more time.

The only problem is that she can't control herself at all when playing ball.

In case it's still like last time, being held by him and drawing a map on the spot, that's really...

Noticing Tang Song taking out his wallet from his pocket, Lin Empress Mu Xue took the initiative to open her mouth: "Chairman Tang, I'll help you put it in the card holder."

Tang Song raised his eyebrows, smiled, and handed the wallet and business card over.

Have to say, this assistant Xiao Xue is still very capable.

Her eye for detail is sharp, pretending to be a financial high-knowledge person, performing elegantly, intellectually, confidently, and calmly.

And her figure and appearance are also presentable, really not bad.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz—buzz, buzz, buzz—"

The phone in his pocket vibrated several times.

Tang Song took out his phone to look, his brows instantly furrowed.

【Zhang Xintong: "Tang Song, something happened!"】

【Zhang Xintong: "Sister Wen Ruan had a falling out with the branch leader, the two had a big fight in the office, now her emotions are very bad, I don't know the specific reason, Sister Wen Ruan won't say either, why don't you call and ask her? Care about her."】

【Zhang Xintong: Wen Ruan. jpg】

The photo is a picture of Wen Ruan standing in the subway, her body leaning against the handrail by the door, expressionless.

Tang Song stood up, walked out while dialing Wen Ruan's phone, "Hello, Sister Wen Ruan."

"Mm, I'm on the Line 10 subway now, the signal is bad, the sound is very noisy, can't hear clearly, I'll call you later, ha."

Her voice, although trying hard to cover up, still carried a feeling of being lost.

Tang Song also finally determined that this big sister had a problem.

It could be work, family, or it could be the stimulation of the classmate's wedding.

Fortunately, he will head to the Imperial Capital tomorrow, and after meeting, he can accompany her well and comfort her.

Hung up the phone and returned to the dining table.

Lin Empress Mu Xue handed the wallet back, her eyes shining: "Chairman Tang, the photo in the photo slot of your wallet is really handsome! It has a movie lens picture feeling."

The photo is Tang Song, whom she is very familiar with, or rather, the Tang Song she loves most.

Very similar to him at the investment exchange meeting that day.

Aloof like a lonely peak, confident and sharp, attracting attention, like a male lead walking out of a novel.

Lowering his head, holding an umbrella, his left hand holding a bunch of blooming tulips, and a dark suit draped over his arm.

In the misty rain, set off by the Mercedes S450.

It's so good! Looking at it, Xiao Xue is about to melt into water!

Hearing Lin Empress Mu Xue's words, Tang Song, who took the wallet, couldn't help but open it lightly.

Slender fingers slid over the transparent film, stroking the familiar photo.

Since getting the wallet, he hadn't used it much.

It was also the first time taking out the photo.

The texture is outstanding, and the four sides are trimmed neatly and delicately.

After looking for a while, Tang Song was just about to tuck it into the photo clip, when he discovered something in a trance.

Flip the photo.

A line of handwritten words came into view, followed by an emoticon smile.

【Mr. Tang, come marry me!】

【＾＾】

Tang Song looked at the smile blankly, the strokes on it seemed to have been wet, a bit blurry.

In an instant, an inexplicable emotion rushed to his forehead.

His heart felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer.

I want to see her immediately!

Noticing the abnormal Lin Empress Mu Xue opened her mouth to care: "What's wrong, Chairman Tang?"

"Xiao Xue, drive me to Yancheng Railway Station." Tang Song's breathing was a bit heavy.

"Ah? Now?" Lin Empress Mu Xue looked around.

Tang Song didn't answer her, stood up directly, and said apologetically: "Everyone, very sorry! I have an emergency here, have to leave first, very sorry! I'll treat everyone to another gathering later!"

His voice was very firm.

Liu Fangbo and others stood up hurriedly, saying some polite words of concern.

Immediately, they sent Tang Song out of the banquet hall door.

Lin Empress Mu Xue looked at the silent Tang Song and sensibly didn't ask more.

Soon, the silver Mercedes S-Class drove out of the parking lot.

Tang Song sat in the passenger seat, opened the ticket booking software, and booked the nearest high-speed rail business seat from Yancheng to the Imperial Capital.

Fortunately, he brought his wallet today, and the documents inside were very complete.

Then, he sent another WeChat to Zhang Xintong, asking about Wen Ruan's location.

Due to the close distance, ten minutes later, the Mercedes S-Class stopped at Yancheng Railway Station.

"Bye Xiao Xue." Tang Song waved at Lin Empress Mu Xue and walked toward the entrance with big strides.

Watching his figure disappear, Lin Empress Mu Xue sighed and rubbed her face hard.

Today's plan is ruined!

Don't know when there will be such a good opportunity next time.

Sigh! Playing ball is not easy, Xiao Xue sighs!

……

Imperial Capital.

The afterglow of the setting sun gently covered every corner of the city like golden gauze.

"Beep, beep, beep—" The sound of car horns came.

Wen Ruan gradually came back to her senses.

Looking at the familiar yet strange street scene around, she sighed in her heart.

She lived in Jiugong for 5 years, and was also very familiar with Yizhuangqiao, often strolling around here along the Liangshui River with Simin.

At that time, the two imagined the future, and Sun Simin always said she would buy a house here in the future.

Now she finally got her wish, in the Fuyuanli community next to Yizhuangqiao Subway Station.

2 bedrooms, 1 living room, 83 square meters, 56,000 per square meter, down payment of nearly 1.5 million.

The two followed the flow of people into the small gate of the community.

Wen Ruan looked at the map and led Zhang Xintong toward Building 13.

People coming and going around, couples, elderly, walking dogs, children.

The community environment is very suitable for living, all are old-fashioned residential buildings with 5 or 6 floors.

Thanks to the Imperial Capital's urban renovation project, the building body had been painted once a few years ago, looking very good.

"Soft! Soft! Ah ah ah!"

Screams and footsteps rang out.

Immediately after, Sun Simin, wearing casual clothes, ran over from downstairs of Building 13, and the two hugged each other heavily.

"Mwah~mwah~ finally waited for you, you are really busy, can't make an appointment with you at all. How is it, is work going smoothly?"

Now she has finally gotten her wish, right here in the Fuyuanli residential compound next to the Yizhuangqiao subway station.

"Welcome, welcome!"

The three chatted while entering the unit door, going up to the 4th floor along the somewhat dilapidated building body.

Sun Simin snapped her fingers, gripped the smart door lock handle, and mysteriously said: "We just bought a whole set of furniture at IKEA half a month ago, I haven't posted it on Moments yet, take a look, give some small opinions with your elegant artistic aesthetic."

"Ta-da—" Sun Simin pulled open the door.

The warm environment inside came into view.

Light wood-colored floor, white walls, colorful cushions, white wooden TV cabinet, light gray fabric sofa...

The overall presentation is simple and fresh IKEA style, very atmospheric for life.

Immediately, she saw several familiar faces on the sofa.

College classmate Zheng Jinpeng, former colleague Su Keke, and Sun Simin's husband Zhou Bo.

"Wen Ruan." "Wen Ruan, you're here!"

"Wen Ruan!" Zheng Jinpeng, wearing casual clothes, stood up, looking at her with some emotion: "Long time no see."

It had been almost 4 years since they met, and the greenness on this college goddess had completely faded.

Every move was full of mature and sexy charm.

Meeting again, that heartbeat and loss still lingered in his thoughts.

This is the lethality of the white moonlight, right.

She didn't do anything, just standing there, was the focus of the line of sight.

After exchanging greetings.

Sun Simin and Zhou Bo enthusiastically greeted everyone to sit at the dining table.

The food was full of the table, besides home-cooked stir-fry, there were also cooked food that Wen Ruan particularly liked to eat when she was in the Imperial Capital.

The small dining table was a bit crowded for 6 people.

Making Zhang Xintong very embarrassed, secretly sharing the location information to Tang Song.

"Wen Ruan, I heard from Brother Zhao that you are going back to Xingyun International?" Su Keke asked curiously.

Wen Ruan nodded calmly, "The resume has already been sent, Old Zhao is communicating with Director Ji, by then it should be directly going to the Yancheng branch to handle entry procedures."

Su Keke is her previous department colleague, 3 years younger than her.

During her tenure, the relationship between the two was very good, and she also counted as a friend with Sun Simin.

Later, Su Keke was arranged to the department managed by Sun Simin, and the two gradually became best friends.

Like her, she is here to be a bridesmaid for Sun Simin.

As for Zheng Jinpeng, he was the best man who volunteered.

After eating for a while, Wen Ruan suddenly opened her mouth and asked: "Simin, is there any wine?"

"Eh..." Sun Simin was stunned, then immediately smiled: "Yes, come, come, come, happy today, let's have a small drink together."

From the beginning of the meeting, she found that Wen Ruan was not right, and her mood was very bad.

Always wanted to let her be happy by chatting.

Soon, three cans of beer were opened.

Glass cups lined up, filled.

"Cheers!" "Cheers!"

"Ding~~ding~~ding~~"

Cold and astringent beer entered the throat, Wen Ruan tilted her head and drank it all.

Sun Simin opened her mouth, but finally helped her fill it up.

As a good sister, she understood Wen Ruan too well, at this time, accompanying her to drink is right.

Su Keke looked at Wen Ruan opposite, emotion flowing in her eyes.

Once upon a time, Wen Ruan counted as the most prominent employee in their business department.

Youthful, outstanding work, super ability.

Meeting again, what she saw from her was thick fatigue and helplessness.

It seems she hasn't had a very good life these years.

Also right, 30 years old, if she hadn't left Xingyun International, she should have a higher position than Zhao Mingying now.

Now she can only think of ways to go through internal recommendation and go to the Yancheng branch.

The treatment there naturally cannot compare with the Imperial Capital, and the rank given will not be high.

And, when Wen Ruan left Xingyun International, she carried a lot of humiliation and unwillingness.

Coming back this time, perhaps she wants to fight one last time to prove herself.

"Wen Ruan, let's have a drink alone, haven't seen each other for years, really miss you." Su Keke raised her wine glass, "In the future, we will work in the same group again, there will definitely be more contact opportunities, come on!"

"Come on." Wen Ruan touched her with a smile and drank again.

Zheng Jinpeng said worriedly: "Wen Ruan, eat some food first, drinking on an empty stomach is not good for the stomach."

"After leaving the Imperial Capital for these years, my stomach has been thoroughly adjusted, it's fine." Wen Ruan shook her head lightly, a faint blush rising on her face.

Outside the window, the last afterglow of the setting sun passed away quietly, replaced by the night like ink.

……

High-speed rail stopped slowly at Beijing West Station.

Tang Song walked toward the outside with big strides.

The crowded crowd brushed past him.

Gradually, his footsteps became faster and faster, and the scenery around him began to blur.

"Bang!" The taxi door was closed hard.

"Master, to Yizhuangqiao Subway Station."

"Okay!" The driver master responded, and soon the two-color BAIC new energy car started quickly. 【268-

Zheng Jinpeng said with some concern, "Wen Ruan, eat something first; drinking on an empty stomach is bad for your stomach."

"In the few years I've been away from the Imperial Capital, my stomach has been completely nursed back to health, it's fine." Wen Ruan shook her head gently, a faint blush spreading across her face.

Outside the window, the last trace of the sunset's afterglow quietly faded away, replaced by a night as dark as ink.

……

The high-speed train slowly pulled into the Imperial Capital West Station.

Tang Song strode toward the exit.

The crowded throng of people brushed past him.

Gradually, his pace became faster and faster, and the scenery around him began to blur.

"Bang!" The taxi door was slammed shut.

"Driver, take me to Yizhuangqiao subway station."

"You got it!" the driver replied, and soon the two-tone BAIC new energy vehicle pulled away quickly.

"Ding-dong—" A WeChat notification sound rang out.

【Zhang Xintong: "Sister Wen Ruan and the others are going to a bridal shop to try on groomsmen and bridesmaid outfits. Don't worry, I'm still following them! I've been comforting Sister Wen Ruan the whole time."】

Tang Song: "Xintong, send me the location of the bridal shop."

【Zhang Xintong: Time Impression Bridal Shop. map】

He tapped to open it and saw it was in the commercial space right next to the subway station.

As the car drove out of the high-speed rail station.

The familiar nightscape of the Imperial Capital burst into Tang Song's line of sight.

The brilliant lights twinkled like stars, outlining the silhouette of this international metropolis.

Tang Song pursed his lips, his mood complex.

……

Time Impression Bridal Shop is a very famous chain store.

The owner is a client Sun Simin met through work, and all the wedding-related matters this time were handled here, earning them a big discount.

Sun Simin handed the two bridesmaid dresses in the selected sizes to Wen Ruan and Su Keke, then told her husband and Zheng Jinpeng to go pick out groomsmen suits.

More than ten minutes later.

Zheng Jinpeng looked at Wen Ruan as she walked out of the fitting room, his gaze somewhat dazed.

A snow-white lace dress, a sparkling silver headband, delicate collarbones, a slender neck, a charming face, and a sexy, statuesque figure.

She stood there quietly, just like a beautiful painting, making it impossible for people to look away.

If she appeared at a wedding like this, she would definitely be the most eye-catching presence.

Sun Simin excitedly gave a thumbs up and laughed, "Ruanruan, Keke, you two are too beautiful, and of course, my taste is also very good."

Su Keke beside her had a slightly unnatural look on her face.

Her figure is quite average; it looks pretty good on its own.

But once she stood next to Wen Ruan, she looked very unremarkable.

"Oh right, and our handsome groomsmen! Jinpeng, with his 1.8-meter height, is a natural clothes hanger, really great!" Sun Simin patted her husband Zhou Bo's arm, "Honey, can that classmate of yours still come?"

This time, two bridesmaids and two groomsmen were arranged.

However, Zhou Bo's college classmate went on a business trip at the last minute and hasn't come to try on clothes yet.

Zhou Bo smiled awkwardly, "The company arranged a business trip today; it's not certain if he'll be free on our wedding day."

"Alright, then let's prepare for the possibility that he can't make it." Sun Simin nodded, patted Wen Ruan helplessly, and whispered, "It's a pity you don't have a boyfriend, otherwise it would be great if he could be a groomsman."

Out of the six in their dorm, only Wen Ruan isn't married yet; she's actually quite worried about her.

Wen Ruan's eyes trembled slightly, and she didn't say anything.

Zheng Jinpeng suddenly spoke up, "Hey, there's a guitar prop here for shooting; how about I play a song for you all!"

Although he said "you all," his gaze was fixed straight on Wen Ruan.

"Okay! Jinpeng was a member of the school band in college; it's been a long time since I heard you play the guitar." Sun Simin clapped her hands immediately.

Others also joined in the cheering.

Zheng Jinpeng picked up the folk guitar in the corner.

Leaning on a high stool next to Wen Ruan, his youthful college life flashed before his eyes.

A "white moonlight" isn't something that's easy to let go of.

Especially seeing her this time, he felt that Wen Ruan wasn't living happily, and his heart ached for her.

……

"We're here!" The driver stopped on the side of the road.

Tang Song paid the fare, pushed open the car door, and got out.

A slightly warm evening breeze rushed toward him.

He looked at "Time Impression Bridal Shop" across the street, took a deep breath, smoothed out his messy hair, and strode inside.

It was already close to 9:00 PM, and there were no customers on the first floor.

"Hello, sir, is there anything you need?" A slender waitress's eyes lit up, and she walked over quickly.

"My friend is upstairs picking out bridesmaid dresses."

"Oh, you're Ms. Sun's friend, right? Please go upstairs."

Tang Song nodded and walked up the wooden stairs step by step.

The "ding-dong" sound of a guitar came through, accompanied by a male voice.

【BGM: Let me look at you one more time, from south to north...】

Tang Song took a deep breath and stepped onto the second-floor landing.

In the corner by the window, six men and women were gathered together.

Tang Song's gaze instantly converged on one figure.

Dressed in a bridesmaid gown, she really looked just like a bride, beautiful and moving.

"Da-da-da—" Hard-soled leather shoes tapped on the wooden floor, making a crisp sound that also attracted their attention.

Wen Ruan's gaze swept over inadvertently, and she froze in place instantly.

Tang Song strode forward, passed through the group, grabbed Wen Ruan's body, and kissed her hard.

"Zhuangzhuang, I'm sorry," he whispered in his heart.
