Chapter 204 Zhenzhen’s Father
The bride and the groom walk slowly with the blessings of their guests. Zhenzhen looks at them with admiration, “Wow, the bride is very beautiful. I will also be such a beautiful bride in the future.”
“You will be more beautiful.” Xia Ning strokes her head.
Well, Xia Ning herself has never worn a wedding dress.
The new couple gets to the pastor and gives speeches under the instructions of him. The bride and the groom express their vows and exchange their rings.
“Mr. Lei Yang, do you believe that this marriage is arranged by God? Will you admit and take Miss Li Lile to be your wife?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Miss Li Lile, do you believe that this marriage is arranged by God? Will you admit and take Mr. Lei Yang to be your husband?”
The bride glances at Lei Buyang. She mildly smiles. She is just going to speak.
“I don’t agree.”
Suddenly, someone shouts outside the cathedral. Then, a man riding a yellow racing bike rushes in.
“I don’t agree! I don’t agree! Li Lile, you are my wife. Don’t you know? I don’t agree!”
The sudden change shocks everyone in the cathedral.
Xia Ning is shocked blankly. Can it be a grabbing-bride ceremony?
God! She really comes across such a ridiculous event!
The bride changes her color when she sees the man, “I…I…”
Seeing this, Lei Buyang goes to stand in front of his wife. He points at the man, “Mister, I don’t know you. Today is my wedding day. I hope you don’t make trouble here. If you leave now, I will ignore what you do here today. Please!”
The man laughs coldly, “Mr. Lei Yang, you are arrogant because you are rich. Let me tell you, Lile and I have grown up together ever since we were kids. I quarreled with her and you took the advantage! You shameless rat! You may listen carefully. Lile only loves me all her life! Lile, come to me now!”
Lei Buyang darkens his face, “I don’t care what happened in the past between you and Lile. Now, she is my wife! If you dare do anything, I…Lile!”
Lei Buyang has not finished his words when the woman pushes him away and runs straightly to the man and embraces him, “Li, take me away!”
The man glances at Lei Buyang. On the face of all the guests, he holds Li Lile and walks proudly out of the cathedral.
It is totally beyond their expectation. People murmur.
Lei Buyang stands there blankly until the man rides away with the woman.
“Mr. Lei, what are you doing? Go after them!”
Xia Ning can’t stand it. She can’t help shouting at Lei Buyang.
Lei Buyang seems to be woken up by Xia Ning. He collects himself and says hurriedly, “Yi, Zhi, get some cars to go after them!”
With Lei Buyang’s order, everyone takes their actions. Several cars come around and dozens of people go to trace the runaway bride.
Those who don’t have cars stay and wait at the cathedral. Zhenzhen widens her eyes, “Sister, what happened just now?”
Xia Ning slightly frowns. Zhenzhen is such a pure girl. How can Xia Ning bear to tell her the cruel truth?
“Well…The big brother and the sister are playing games. It is a program in the ceremony. They will come back soon.”
“Will they?” Zhenzhen cocks her head, “I don’t think so. It seems that someone takes the bride away. The groom is tracing them. It is unknown whether the groom will take back the bride.”
Hearing this, Xia Ning twitches her eyebrows. Seemingly, the little girl Zhenzhen has understood what happened.
Xia Ning gives a sigh, “Zhenzhen, it is an issue between adults. Don’t keep what you see today in your mind. Marriage is a very good thing.”
Zhenzhen curls her lips, “Does marriage mean that two people stay together with each other forever?”
“Hum.” Xia Ning nods, “Marriage means two people in love stay together forever.”
“Does it?” Zhenzhen looks sad, “My father married my mother. Why don’t they stay together forever?”
“…” Xia Ning is speechless. Zhenzhen is clever. However, she is too young to understand something.
People have waited at the cathedral for quite some time and still the groom and the bride don’t come back. In the end, one of Lei Buyang’s men comes back to announce that the wedding ceremony is canceled. Everybody feels regretful and leaves.
In the evening, Xia Ning stays at Zhenzhen’s house and prepares a rich dinner for her.
“Sister, my mother thanks you. The supper is delicious.”
Zhenzhen carries the empty plate and comes down. It seems that Zhenzhen’s mother likes the food very much.
Xia Ning smiles, “It is good that your mother likes them. I will come often if I have time to cook for you. Do you like that?”
“Really?” Zhenzhen puts the plate down. She grasps Xia Ning’s sleeve, “Though my mom told me not to bother you, Sister, you make very delicious foods. Sister, can I make a request?”
“That’s silly, of course you can.” Xia Ning finishes the washing and takes off the rubber gloves. She strokes Zhenzhen’s head, “I will say yes whatever you may ask for.”
“Then, would you teach me how to make cookies? And the western desserts, too. Will you?”
Xia Ning nods, “Yes, of course. But you are too small. You have to be very careful when you make them.” Xia Ning pauses for a while here and continues, “Well, how about that I come here to make them with you whenever you want to have some? OK?”
“Hum!” Zhenzhen forcefully nods.
In the following days, Xia Ning doesn’t meet Lei Buyang in the bar. She is a little worried about him. However, as a big shot like Lei Buyang, what hasn’t he experienced? She believes that he will be fine soon.
On the fourth evening, Xia Ning finally sees Lei Buyang.
As what happened before, he initiatively comes to her and orders a cup of Happiness for her.
With mustaches and messy hairs, Lei Buyang looks completely different from that several days ago. Xia Ning sighs in her heart. For an instant, she doesn’t know what to say.
Lei Buyang is aware of Xia Ning’s hesitation. He smiles bitterly, “I know what you want to say. Hehe. It is fine. You may speak out. Any questions, you may ask. But I will tell you. She left with him. She cried and begged me not to interfere. Hahaha…”
Lei Buyang laughs, while it sounds as if he is crying. Xia Ning feels very sad for him.
At the time, the waiter serves a big plate of potato cake. Lei Buyang grasps a piece and puts it into his mouth.
Xia Ning takes a sip of Happiness. She feels so sad.
Happiness is common, but few can really get it. That is ironic.
“I was thinking that after we got married, she would sit with me to have the potato cake like this. She might do whatever she wanted, as long as she was happy. I would agree with her on everything.” Saying this, Lei Buyang takes up another piece of potato cake and bites a mouthful of it.
“Mr. Lei, I don’t know what to say. The only thing I can say now is that I hope you don’t think about it again. It will be the past.”
Lei Buyang pauses. Then, he gives a long sigh, “Thank you.”
They sit in silence. Lei Buyang drinks sadly, but he doesn’t say anything.
After quite a while, Xia Ning asks, “Do you still plan to stay here?”
Lei Buyang shakes his head, “Since she doesn’t want to be with me. Is there any meaning for me to stay here? The environment will make me sentimental. I plan to leave tomorrow. I may work honestly and stop dreaming.”
Xia Ning darkens her eyes. She can’t help giving a sigh in her heart.
At the time, a little girl runs into the bar from the door. She looks around anxiously and comes straightly to Xia Ning.
“Sister Ning. Sister Ning!”
Xia Ning is surprised. She turns to her, “Zhenzhen!”
“Sister Ning!” Zhenzhen runs to her and says anxiously, “Sister Ning, are you free now? Could you help me?”
“Yes. Yes. Don’t worry. Tell me slowly. What happened?” Xia Ning wipes the tears on Zhenzhen’s face.
“Sister Ning, my mother feels painful. Sister Ning, could you help me send my mother to the hospital?”
Xia Ning is shocked to hear this. Then, she turns to Lei Buyang, “Mr. Lei, can you do me a favor?”
“I see. Wait for a minute.” Lei Buyang takes out his phone and dials a number, “Send a helicopter here in five minutes.”
With the help of Lei Buyang, ten minutes later, Zhenzhen’s mother is sent to the hospital.
The light of the operation room is on. Zhenzhen walks around in front of the operation room anxiously.
Xia Ning feels sad for her. She holds Zhenzhen and comforts her, “Zhenzhen, don’t worry. Your mom will be fine. Sit here.”
Zhenzhen sobs. She is going to say something while she lifts her head and sees someone suddenly. She cries, “Daddy!”
Daddy!
Xia Ning lifts her head. When she sees clearly the man in front of her, she is stunned, as if she is shocked by the thunder!
The comer is also shocked when he sees Xia Ning.
The man Zhenzhen calls Daddy…is Dai Zhongheng!
“Daddy!” Zhenzhen runs to Dai Zhongheng, “Daddy, mom is undergoing an operation. It is lucky Sister Ning helps us.”
Dai Zhongheng and Xia Ning look at each other. They don’t speak for quite a while.
“Oh. I know.” After a while, Dai Zhongheng collects himself and he turns to Xia Ning, “Thank you.”
Xia Ning curls her lips. She is displeased. She responds in a cold voice, “Never mind. You are welcome.”
It is a little embarrassing. At the time, the light in the operation room is turned off and Zhenzhen’s mother is sent out. Dai Zhongheng sees it. He goes to the doctor, “Doctor, how is Hua?”
The doctor glances at Dai Zhongheng, “What is the relation between you and the patient?”
“Uncle Doctor, he is my daddy.” Zhenzhen says.
“Oh.” The doctor nods. He glances at Zhenzhen and says in a deep voice, “Mister, please come with me.”
Dai Zhongheng understands. He turns to Zhenzhen, “Zhenzhen, you stay with Sister Ning. Daddy is going to talk with Uncle Doctor about your mom’s illness. I will tell you later. OK?”
Zhenzhen thinks for a while and nods, “Then, Daddy, after you talk with Uncle Doctor, you have to tell me.”
Dai Zhongheng nods. He strokes Zhenzhen’s head. He turns to Xia Ning, “Mrs. Yi, I will explain to you later. Please help me to look after Zhenzhen. Will you?”
