My Groom Ran Away

“A Jue, let’s break off this marriage …”

“Let’s break up.”

The sudden sentence was like a rock hitting the surface of a pool of water.

Both sides suddenly fell into a deadlocked and awkward silence. The atmosphere gradually turned heavy.

After being silent for a long time, the man’s deep voice was filled with unconcealable anger, “I admit that I should not have missed the wedding. There is a misunderstanding, I will explain it when I get back. ZhiYin, don’t use words like cancelling the marriage and breaking up to mess around with me. You’re crossing the line.”

Qin Jue’s words carried a hint of accusation which caused Ruan ZhiYin to fall silent.

They had known each other for eight years and had dated for three. In her memories, he had always been gentle and polite.

When they were abroad, Qin Jue had treated her well, so Ruan ZhiYin thought they would be able to be with each other until the end. Even though after they returned to their country, they had quarrelled a few times, he had never lost his composure like this.

But at this moment, Qin Jue, the groom who ran away from his marriage for his ex-girlfriend is saying that she should not be messing around by saying that she wants to cancel the marriage and break up?

Ruan ZhiYin felt that this was preposterous, but she knew very clearly that she was not joking.

It wasn’t that she didn’t give Qin Jue any chances, nor did she not give him enough trust. But she could only helplessly watch as the number of lies and blatant favouritism ended up turning into a large pile of disappointment.

Maybe Qin Jue also loves her, but he could not abandon the feelings he had for the other woman.

She could no longer continue to maintain her dignity in this relationship.

It was too tiring. She’s willing to let go of him and free herself.

But Qin Jue did not believe that she would not forgive him. After all, she had loved him for eight years and had blindly followed him the entire time. Even during two difficult years, when he had broken away from the Qin family, she had continued to accompany him.

Everyone knew how much she loved Qin Jue. It is too difficult for others to believe that she would give up right before the final step.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to say something. A delicate and charming female voice came through the phone, abruptly cutting her off, “Ah Jue, can you pass me a cup of water?”

The woman’s voice was familiar and it was full of intimacy. At this moment, Ruan ZhiYin felt a hint of embarrassment.

She laughed coldly and hung up the phone the next second.

She knew that Lin JingFei had intentionally spoken, but she did not want to continue this endless quarrel.

Thinking back on the decision she had made, she even felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

Just as she was lost in thought, a knock sounded on the door. Kang Yu hesitated before walking in, “Miss Ruan, Mister Qin’s assistant just called and said that the wedding will be delayed until tomorrow?”

Qin Jue was very busy and thus, he did not show his face often. These days, Kang Yu normally discussed the groom’s wedding matter’s through Assistant Zhai.

As she said that, a tall woman suddenly appeared behind her. The woman’s heels clacked loudly against the floor. She directly passed Kang Yu and stormed into the room angrily.

“YinYin, what the hell is Qin Jue doing?!”

Gu LinLang put one hand on her hips, her brows furrowed as she frowned. Her cheeks were flushed with anger. She took her phone and placed it in front of Ruan ZhiYIn.

The news headline on the screen shook her – “The up and coming star, Lin JingFei was sent to the hospital late at night after being suspected of slitting her wrists while accompanied by her rumoured boyfriend.”

In the photo, the man was wearing a dark tailored suit. The tie was neat and straight, giving him the appearance of an immaculately dressed man with aristocratic confidence. His cultured and handsome side profile showed a set of frowning eyebrows, a straight nose and gold-rimmed glasses that reflected the light off the lens.

He was tall and had broad shoulders. He was slightly leaned over and he had his head lowered, as though he was gently comforting the petite woman he was cradling. 

As for Lin JingFei’s pretty face, she had a bashful expression, but her face seemed a little pale and weak.

It was a deeply unpleasant sight. 

Looking at Lin JingFei’s pale face, Ruan ZhiYin felt that she had applied too much powder.

In the end, the media had a few misgivings about the Qin family, so they did not reveal Qin Jue’s full face. But anyone familiar with him would be able to recognize him.

The watch wrapped on the man’s wrist was the birthday present that Ruan ZhiYin had given him last year. The side of the watch face had their names engraved on it.

When Qin Jue received it, he was very happy. He had a warm look in his eyes as he wrapped his arms around her. Then he asked her to take off the old watch that Mother Qin had given to him – when he came of age and put the new one on.

He never took the watch off again.

The warmth from that time was still vivid in her memories. Even though she had already decided to let him. Looking at the picture of him carefully protecting another woman as they walk out of the hospital, Ruan ZhiYin still felt a stabbing pain spreading out from her heart.

For feelings to become indifferent…

Some time is required to forget it completely.

She pinched her fingers together as struggled to push down that sour feeling and read over the comments under the post-

“Y is FeiFei’s English name, right! That’s so sweet!”

“FeiFei posted a WeiBo explaining that when she was cooking dinner for her friend, she cut her hand by accident. This garbage marketing account even came up with this clickbait title saying she slit her wrists.”

“Making dinner this late at night? Are they only friends? Whatever! They are, after all, an open secret in the entertainment circle.”

“I heard from a friend who graduated from A University that when FeiFei had dated this man, it was a very strong love. When they broke up, he was so dejected that he went abroad not long after.”

“That’s amazing. After all, she is the straight men killer.”

Lin JingFei entered the entertainment circle after graduating. She’s currently a very hot female star.

Qin Company had an entertainment company under their conglomerate and the CEO was Qin Jue’s childhood friend, Jiang AnZheng. He has a good relationship with Lin JingFei. When Lin JingFei signed with the company, she directly signed a ten-year contract.
