Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

After the two returned to Guangzhou, Wang Dashan finally called his second brother Wang Erhai, saying they would hold the wedding together on New Year's Day, and Wang Erhai was thrilled beyond measure upon hearing this.

"That's wonderful, I've wanted this for a long time. By the way, have you told Dad and Mom about this? If not, I'll call back later."

Wang Erhai was overjoyed; he felt that if he could hold the wedding together with Wang Dashan, it would be an extremely special and commemorative wedding.

"I already mentioned it to Dad and Mom before. Today Xiao Juan and I just went back to her hometown, which counts as finalizing this matter. As for the wedding venue arrangements, I'll leave that to you to handle."

Wang Dashan said this.

Wang Erhai nodded and said:

"That's absolutely no problem. By the way, have you and Eldest Sister-in-law taken wedding photos yet?"

"Not yet."

"Then the wedding photos can be taken together too. Later I'll pick a wedding company, and let the wedding company handle both the wedding photos and the wedding ceremony; that can save a lot of trouble."

"Good, good, then I'll have to trouble you."

"Big Brother, what are you being polite with me for? We two are good brothers!"

Wang Erhai laughed heartily.

He hung up Wang Dashan's phone and immediately couldn't wait to tell Liu Mei Qi this good news.

However, when Liu Mei Qi learned that Wang Erhai wanted to hold the wedding together with his big brother Wang Dashan, she immediately became somewhat unhappy.

"Why do it together with your big brother? Can't we hold our own?"

Liu Mei Qi's face was full of displeasure.

She felt that a wedding, for a girl, might only happen once in a lifetime, so as the bride, she must be the protagonist.

If Du Xiaojuan also attended wearing a wedding dress, then she wouldn't be the sole protagonist.

"What do you mean by this? Are you saying you don't want to get married?"

Wang Erhai immediately darkened his face.

"I don't not want to marry; I just don't want to hold the wedding together with your big brother and sister-in-law!"

Liu Mei Qi directly stated her attitude.

Wang Erhai, however, said:

"Don't you think holding the wedding together with Big Brother and Sister-in-law has more commemorative significance? That's my real big brother, not someone else."

"So what if he's your real big brother? Your future days — are you going to spend them with your real big brother, or with me?"

Liu Mei Qi coldly questioned.

Wang Erhai immediately flew into a rage:

"You're forcing me to choose, is that it?"

"Yes, you must choose one: spend your days with your real big brother, or with me."

Liu Mei Qi dug in her heels.

The two, without realizing it, quarreled fiercely again.

The previous agreement not to quarrel was now thrown to the back of their minds by both.

"Liu Mei Qi, then let me give you a clear answer right now: in this world, besides my mother, there is no woman who is more important than my big brother. If you want to marry, marry; if not, get lost!"

Wang Erhai's attitude was also extremely clear.

His previous ex-girlfriend Zhang Xiaoyun had also forced him to choose between her and his big brother, and the result was Zhang Xiaoyun got lost.

He had some affection for Zhang Xiaoyun, but Zhang Xiaoyun still had to get lost all the same.

Let alone now, when he basically has no love whatsoever for Liu Mei Qi, so naturally it's impossible to indulge Liu Mei Qi.

Hearing Wang Erhai's answer, Liu Mei Qi's heart nearly broke; her nose soured involuntarily, and tears flowed down.

This stinking man, about to marry her, yet treats her like this!

Could her weight in his heart really be this insignificant?

"So, in your heart, what exactly am I?"

Liu Mei Qi looked at Wang Erhai, sobbing as she asked.

"Worth a damn hammer!" Wang Erhai didn't want to waste so many words on Liu Mei Qi. "This matter is settled. You'd better straighten out your position. I'm here to notify you, not to discuss with you. If you're unwilling, I don't mind temporarily switching to another woman."

After saying this, Wang Erhai turned and left.

Not giving Liu Mei Qi any room to discuss at all.

Liu Mei Qi was both angry and hateful about this, but in the end she still swallowed her grievance and chose to compromise.

Things have reached this point; if she doesn't compromise, what else can she do?

Could she go back and tell her parents that the marriage is off?

Besides, Zhang Sheng wouldn't agree to her changing her mind at the last minute either.

Calling off the engagement at this time would mean too great a loss in terms of benefits for her, Liu Mei Qi.

"Liu Mei Qi, you must adjust your mindset. You're not marrying for love; you're finding a guarantee. Don't go longing for happiness. What you must do is maximize your own benefits..."

Liu Mei Qi could only keep admonishing herself like this, to adjust her mindset well and accept everything she was unwilling to accept.

After Wang Erhai turned and went out, he too had a face full of depression.

He really couldn't understand why Liu Mei Qi would disagree with such a good thing.

Two brothers marrying together — how commemorative is that!

Additionally, he felt some guilt in his heart, feeling that he had been a bit too overbearing toward Liu Mei Qi just now.

He also thought of how Liu Mei Qi's original family was not very good to begin with, her parents were discordant, she had endured enough of her parents' quarrels at home, and now being together with him, she still had to quarrel like this; he should do his utmost to tolerate and understand her, and do his utmost to communicate with her...

But for some reason, when facing Liu Mei Qi's refutation, he could never control his emotions, and couldn't help but want to scold her.

Perhaps it was because Liu Mei Qi was in a weak position, he subconsciously felt that Liu Mei Qi was easy to manipulate.

Or perhaps it was because he did not love Liu Mei Qi.

He knew he was in the wrong, but to have him take the initiative to apologize to Liu Mei Qi — that was impossible.

In the blink of an eye, it arrived at the next day morning.

Liu Mei Qi instead took the initiative to come apologize and admit fault to Wang Erhai.

"Yesterday's matter, sorry..."

Liu Mei Qi swallowed her grievance for the sake of peace; she did not want to fall out too badly with Wang Erhai, after all they were about to get married, falling out too badly would do her no good.

She was truly afraid she would fall into her parents' vicious cycle, quarreling constantly after marriage, surviving wretchedly in the quagmire of an unhappy marriage for most of her life.

So she took the initiative to yield.

Seeing Liu Mei Qi actually take the initiative to come apologize, Wang Erhai's heart couldn't help but feel some guilt, but his face still expressed icy coldness:

"Knowing you're wrong is good; don't sing a contrary tune with me again in the future."

Wang Erhai gave a stick then a carrot, then said to Liu Mei Qi:

"I know you care a lot about this wedding; you just want to make it a bit better, right? Holding the wedding together with my eldest brother doesn't mean it can't be done well; wedding dress, gold and silver jewelry and such, I'll accompany you to pick them out later, whatever you like I'll buy for you."

"If I see something very expensive, would you also be willing to buy it for me?" Liu Mei Qi asked this one sentence.

She felt Wang Erhai would definitely not be willing to pay for anything too expensive.

Unexpectedly, Wang Erhai instead said:

"Marriage for a lifetime happens only once; I also want to make it a bit better, so no matter how expensive, I'll buy it for you!"

Hearing this, Liu Mei Qi couldn't help but be stunned:

"Really?"

Wang Erhai's face was full of seriousness:

"Do I look like someone who would lie?"

Liu Mei Qi was immediately moved beyond words, and threw herself into his arms:

"Husband, you're so good; from now on I'll never quarrel with you again!"
