I Ran Away from the Wedding, She Went Crazy

1

"Lin, does the overseas division head position you mentioned last time still stand? I've made up my mind, I'll take it."

My brother was overjoyed to hear that I was willing to work abroad.

"That's great, I need someone as talented as you to help me! But aren't you getting married? Have you talked to your fiancée about it?"

"Not getting married anymore. A man should have his own career."

I tried hard to control my emotions.

Hurriedly hung up the phone.

Looking at the hundreds of video clips on Liu Qing's computer, I was momentarily entranced.

The wedding company asked me to find photos that captured our love over the years and select a few to send to them.

So they can create a video to play on loop at the wedding.

But she went to her friend's single party tonight, with her phone turned off.

Helplessly, I could only open her computer, aiming to pick some nice materials to send over, but ended up seeing these.

For eight years, Liu Qing always maintained a pure, conservative, and family-oriented demeanor in front of me.

She never celebrated those messy anniversaries, and never asked for gifts, telling me not to waste money.

She always said holidays should be time for making money, so she often worked overtime during those days.

I was deeply touched, thinking I found a sensible and good woman.

But seeing her in the videos playing endlessly, laughing so joyfully, I realized I was just a fool.

Recently, she hasn't been feeling well, often feeling nauseous, unable to stand grease.

Soon after, she suddenly proposed marriage.

I thought our long love journey had finally reached the end,

Now thinking about it, perhaps she was already pregnant, eager for me to take over.

I contemplated canceling the wedding while picking up the phone to directly propose a breakup.

But upon opening the phone, I discovered she hadn't replied to a single message from me today,

From the dresses to the hotel, she cared about none of it, leaving all the wedding matters to me.

Clicked into the Moments, the latest update was posted tonight, containing just a phrase.

"The last craze, also the last chance."

Back then, I thought she was referring to her final single party.

Now I realize, this message was intended for the man in the video.

In that case, let everyone bless you both together.

I reopened the computer, packaged all her videos, and sent them to the wedding company in one go,

After the wedding company repeatedly confirmed the wedding and costs remained unchanged, they agreed to keep it a secret for me.

Once the call ended, I directly booked a flight ticket for the wedding day.

Let them perform this drama themselves.

Just after booking the ticket, Liu Qing's friend suddenly called me.

"Gu Chen, Liu Qing drank too much, why don't you come and take her back, I'll send you the address."

From the receiver, I heard Liu Qing's familiar voice calling "Jiang Hua,"

And the voice of the man from the video…

The anger that had just subsided was reignited.

The other party immediately hung up the call while covering the phone.

I shook off the feelings I shouldn't have and got dressed to leave the house,

The real show wouldn't begin for another three days, so there was no need to rush.

Quickly arriving at the address sent to me by her friend, as I reached the door of the private room, laughter and teasing questions came from inside.

"Old Jiang, Liu Qing is getting married in three days, you still have time to back out!"

I took a deep breath and reached out to push the door open and walk in.

The laughter inside ceased immediately, and everyone wore expressions of awkwardness.

The woman who is supposed to marry me in three days was lying tenderly in the arms of another man.

I had just seen that man's face countless times on her computer.

He was none other than Jiang Hua.

There were five or six women in the private room, and he was the only man.

Suits, gold-rimmed glasses, the look of a successful man.

But he looked even older in person than in the video.

Yet Liu Qing clung to him like a treasure, refusing to let go even when drunk.

The suit and glasses, I had also tried this style before, but Liu Qing said it looked too old-fashioned and told me not to follow online trends.

Now I see, it wasn't my style she disliked, she simply didn't like me.

Liu Qing's friends didn't expect me to arrive so quickly and hurriedly reached out to pull her away from Jiang Hua.

Unfortunately, Liu Qing seemed quite drunk and was indifferent.

Murkingly cursing, "Get away! Don't touch me!"

It was my first time seeing her this drunk.

Her friend whispered in her ear, "Gu Chen is here to take you home! Wake up! You're getting married soon..."

The others also stepped forward to help upon seeing the chaos unfold, while I picked up a glass of wine from the table and smiled.

"Let me do it."

Then, amidst their utterly shocked gazes, I walked straight to Liu Qing.

Grabbing her hand, I roughly pulled her off Jiang Hua.

"You're hurting me!"

Just as Liu Qing started to throw a fit, the wine in my hand splashed onto her face.

I leaned close to her face and spoke, word by word,

"Are you awake now? Did you forget that I'm the one who's your fiancé?"

My actions instantly stunned everyone present. Liu Qing sobered up a bit, her gaze flickering as she looked at me.

"Gu, Gu Chen, you're here... I drank too much..."

Liu Qing immediately hugged me, hanging her whole body on mine.

Impressive, even drunk, she didn't forget to act.

Well, I should play along, shouldn't I?

I regained that once gentle, harmless demeanor.

Holding her, I stood up and apologized to everyone,

"Sorry, my wife drank too much, causing you trouble."

Her friends finally breathed a sigh of relief and introduced me.

"Gu Chen, this is our college senior, he's very caring to us. He happened to come back from a business trip today and joined our gathering. Liu Qing drank too much, don't overthink..."

If it were before, I might have lost it there, beating this "senior" until he couldn't take care of himself.

But now, I just smiled indifferently.

Jiang Hua watched me with an amused, probing gaze.

I looked at him and gave a polite smile:

"Hello, senior. You've h
