146 1.3.68: Engagement Party I

"It was a surprise that my infamously cold, little brother decided to contact me out of his own will." Zhou Ming said, his dark eyes gleaming with amusement as he saw Zhou Lang appear.

"Ming'ge, I am not here to joke with you."

"Oh? Then tell me, why you asked to meet me?"

"You can't get engaged," Zhou Lang took a deep breath, "It'll destroy her."

"I see you've become so intimate you even know her state now." Zhou Ming coldly answered, ignoring the meaning behind his words.

"You know that it doesn't matter when she loves you and you only. You can't allow her to wither away and watch you get married—"

"She and I have nothing to do with each other." Zhou Ming stood up to leave but Zhou Lang's next words abruptly stopped him.

"She tried to end her life."

Zhou Lang was confused when he saw that his brother's facial expression didn't change. It was almost as in he already knew. "You know it..."

A cold smirk appeared on Zhou Ming's face, "How could I not know something that happened to her?"

"Then you must know she doesn't have much time left! You can't let her diminish away." Zhou Lang didn't want her to love him back as long as she was living the best of her life. He was willing to do anything to stop her from fading away without a purpose.

"All in due time," Four words and Zhou Ming left, leaving Zhou Lang alone with his confusion.

A week later, the date of his engagement party had already been announced all over social media. Oddly enough, it wasn't with the famous 'Angelic Goddess' that still stunned many people to this day with her elusive pictures. Zhou Ming's engagement was with a woman who had no pictures exposed of her, leaving her identity a mystery. All the Zhou family had let the public know is that she was close to the Zhou family and knew Zhou Ming well.

Xiao Yunhua couldn't stop finding out the details because the news of the engagement were everywhere, including gossips in the café she often visited to relax in. Just the thought of Zhou Ming marrying another person felt like thousands of needles were piercing her heart.

His engagement was happening in two days and she had been so absentminded, that the two days went by in a blur. The location of his engagement party was happening in a expensive and private venue only for the best elites in three hours. Her haze was so obvious that even Madam Xu noticed her strange behavior. "Xiao Hua, are you alright?"

"Y-Yes Aunt Xu," she stuttered as she snapped out of her thoughts, "I've just got a lot on my mind at the moment."

"Does it have something to do with love?" Madam Xu saw the shift in her face and smiled. "Oh dear, it's too late to deny it. It seems like you're bothered by something love-related. Don't worry, whatever it is...I'm sure it'll resolve eventually."

Xiao Yunhua pouted and sighed, "Auntie, I don't think it's that's simple. He and I...after today, there will be no more chances. Our ending is not a pleasant one." Noticing the depressed looking on Xiao Yunhua's face, Madam Xu softly patted her head.

"You say 'after today' meaning that you still have today as a chance. Why not go meet him?"

"Aunt Xu, I don't think I—"

"Silly child. At least don't regret today and go end it properly. Or see an ending yourself. It's best to personally cut the ties or create the ties rather than remember this love as a bitter memory." Madam Xu's words were beginning to make sense in Xiao Yunhua's head. So she found herself slowly nodding and standing up.

Yes, she will sneak in the engagement party and see for herself what kind of woman that heartless man was marrying. What kind of woman she lost to. Afterward, it was only a matter of time when this body would finally give away and she could remember this world without any regretful feelings.

She quickly dressed up in simple clothes and was off to the venue.
