That night, Jiang Sui treated Xiao Wen and Li Ai to a big dinner.

It was at the dinner table that she learned that Xiao Wen was getting married, and that he wanted her to be his bridesmaid.

Jiang Sui was so shocked that she was speechless at first. It took her a while to react and wish Xiao Wen a happy birthday.

"Congratulations, Wenwen. Your six-year relationship has finally come to fruition. Not to mention that I'm back now, even if I were still in Canada, I would still fly back to be your bridesmaid."

The three sisters hadn't seen each other for many years. After dinner, Jiang Sui called Jiang Guodong to report. She didn't go home that night and went directly to the hotel where Xiao Wen and Li Ai were staying.

At night, the three of them squeezed onto a big bed and had a long talk.

When talking about Xiao Wen's wedding date, Jiang Sui suddenly asked Li Ai, "Sister Ai, what about you and Brother Haozi? When will you get married? I thought you should be the first to get married."

Li Ai lay flat on his back, looking at the ceiling, and sighed softly, "I want to do it too, but you see how busy Old Wu is. He can't even spare a whole day's work. How can we get married? Well, in the final analysis, it's all Si Nian's fault. He clapped his hands and became a hands-off boss. He ran to Beijing North for a few years and I don't know what he has been doing. It's hard for our Old Wu. But Old Wu has no complaints and works hard. I am convinced."

After Li Ai finished her complaints, the two people beside her suddenly became quiet.

She turned her head and saw that Xiao Wen was asleep.

On the other side, Jiang Sui was staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Li Ai then realized that he had said the wrong thing and shouldn't have mentioned Si Nian in front of Jiang Sui.

But it has already been brought up, and looking at Jiang Sui's expression, it seems that he hasn't let it go completely yet.

So she turned sideways and pushed Jiang Sui. Jiang Sui came to his senses and tilted his head to look at her in a daze.

"According to Old Wu, Si Nian has never found a woman in these years. What about you? Have you ever had a boyfriend in Canada? Or is there someone you like?" Li Ai asked Jiang Sui in a low voice for fear of waking up Xiao Wen.

Jiang Sui shook his head and said, "No, the races are too different, I can't like them."

“So no Asians?”

"Yes, but they all look down on me."

Her voice was low and soft, and she spoke seriously, but Li Ai didn't believe it.

"You're just talking nonsense! If you say you don't like her, it must be you who look down on her. Others may not know, but I know that Si Nian holds a very important place in your heart, and no one can shake it. Sui Sui, if this continues, how can you start a new relationship?"

How to start? Jiang Sui didn't know either.

In recent years, Jiang Sui has been surrounded by many outstanding Asian students, some of whom are interested in her, but she doesn't have any feelings for any of them. She always secretly compares them with Si Nian in her heart, and the result is that she can only politely refuse.

She thought that as long as he was not erased from her heart, she would never fall in love with anyone else.

But it was too difficult to erase him from her heart, and she had given up hope of starting a relationship with another person.

"That's it. It's good to be alone. I'm free and can go wherever I want."

"Since others can't do it, have you ever thought about starting over with Si Nian?"

Start over?

Why didn't she think about it?

She had thought about this question countless times when she was alone since she met Si Nian again in Jincheng.

But she was afraid and no longer had the courage she had when she was eighteen or nineteen.

She was afraid that one day in the future, when something happened again, she would be the one not chosen by him.

She would rather not have it than live in a relationship without trust and security all day long.

"The same problems would arise if we started over. I broke up with him not because he didn't want to go back to the Si family with me, but because I couldn't accept that he didn't tell me anything. He took all the bad things on his own and never told me to share them with him. If he had discussed it with me in advance, how did he know I wouldn't agree? But he made the decision without even asking me."

"I don't want to remain passive in front of him and be forced to wait for his choice."

That night, Jiang Sui didn't know when Li Ai fell asleep. Anyway, after she finished speaking, she was still awake, but she didn't ask any more questions.

Maybe she also felt that her and Si Nian's actions and ideas were a bit difficult to understand.

One person tries his best to do good for the other person, but is somewhat inconsiderate of the other person's feelings.

One person just wants to share the good and bad times with the other person, but is always pushed away and excluded by the other person.

The next day, Xiao Wen and Li Ai left separately, and Jiang Sui continued to work overtime miserably.

Fortunately, she finally didn't have to work overtime during the week of Xiao Wen's wedding.

Otherwise she wouldn't know how to talk to her boss.

It was already evening when Jiang Sui arrived in Shenhai. Xiao Wen said on WeChat that someone would pick her up at the airport.

But she didn't expect that the person who came to pick her up was Wu Chunhao.

When Jiang Sui first saw Wu Chunhao in the airport lobby, he was stunned.

"Brother Mouse?"

"You are a little girl, you still have a conscience and haven't forgotten me!"

Wu Chunhao opened his arms towards him and raised his eyebrows. "It's been a few years since we last met. Can I give you a hug?"

Jiang Sui smiled and hugged him, then asked him, "Why are you here to pick me up?"

"What else? Who do you want to pick you up?"

Wu Chunhao's words always made Jiang Sui feel that he had some hidden meaning, and she didn't know if she had misunderstood.

She giggled, "I'm not thinking of anyone. It's good that you came to pick me up. I just feel a little flattered that you came to pick me up in person in your current status."

On the road, Wu Chunhao was driving while answering the phone constantly. Jiang Sui was sitting in the passenger seat with her brows furrowed. She was really worried that he would take her to catch up with the car in front at any moment.

After Wu Chunhao hung up another call, Jiang Sui joked with him, "Brother Haozi, you are already a big CEO, why do you still drive yourself? Shouldn't you have a driver or an assistant? This is a bit unsafe."

Wu Chunhao smiled and said, "I am healthy and have normal eyesight. I am not used to having someone around me all the time, unlike your brother."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Wu Chunhao wished he could bite off his tongue.

He actually forgot that this girl made some harsh words when she left, and she and Si Nian were no longer even siblings from then on.

"Sorry, sister, I forgot about you two..." Wu Chunhao said to Jiang Sui with some apology.

Jiang Sui shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

But after a while she reacted to Wu Chunhao's words. He said that he was in good health and had normal eyesight, unlike Si Nian.

What does it mean?

Looking back, Si Nian seemed a little different when I came back this time. He was wearing a pair of glasses.

She remembered that he used to have very good eyesight and did not need glasses.

"Is his eyesight bad? Well, I saw he was wearing glasses when I came back this time."

Wu Chunhao was concentrating on driving, and Jiang Sui's voice was so soft that he didn't hear clearly at first and was stunned for a moment.

Later I realized that the "he" Jiang Sui was talking about was Si Nian.

"Maybe, a little bit..." Wu Chunhao said vaguely, "I'm not sure."

"Sister Ai said that you have actually been managing the Si Corporation all along, and he has been in Beijing North for the past few years. So what is he doing there?"

Seeing Jiang Sui suddenly asking him about Si Nian, Wu Chunhao curled his lips.

"Why are you asking me? I don't know, why don't you just ask him directly?"

I can ask him, why would I ask you?

Just don’t tell me.

Jiang Sui said nothing more and turned to look out the car window.

How could he not know Si Nian’s situation?

Jiang Sui didn't believe it.

She knew that Wu Chunhao just didn't want to tell her more about Si Nian.

The car drove for a while and then stopped after seemingly entering a private club.

A waiter came up and took Wu Chunhao's car keys, and then he asked Jiang Sui to get out of the car together.

Jiang Sui followed Wu Chunhao and asked him puzzledly, "Why did you bring me here? Shouldn't we go directly to see the bride?"

Wu Chunhao laughed at her: "You've been studying for so many years, haven't you become stupid? You must be brought here because the bride is here, otherwise why would I bring you here to play? I don't have the time, it's Brother Jin and Xiao Wen who are holding a pre-wedding party here."

"oh!"

Jiang Sui didn't expect that getting married would have so many gimmicks.

The waiter in the hall saw Wu Chunhao coming in, greeted him and led them directly to Cui Jin's box.

As soon as the door of the box opened, many pairs of eyes looked towards Wu Chunhao and Jiang Sui.

Jiang Sui felt a little restrained in the face of this situation. She took a step back and stood behind Wu Chunhao to avoid the unfamiliar gazes.

"Why are you here so late? I've been waiting for you two!"

When Li Ai saw them come in, he hurried over to pull Jiang Sui.

“Sui Sui, you’re finally here!”

"Where are Wenwen and Jinge? Why can't I see the protagonist?"

Li Ai led Jiang Sui inside and said, "Wenwen loves to show off her beauty, Cui Jin is accompanying her and the makeup team is retouching her makeup."

Jiang Sui couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's rare to find a big boss like Brother Jin!"

"They used to be like this, you know that."

As soon as Li Ai said this, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.

While chatting and laughing, they had unknowingly walked to the sofa. Jiang Sui raised her eyes and saw Si Nian's eyes also looking towards her.

Jiang Sui's smile froze instantly.

Even though she was mentally prepared to meet Si Nian at this wedding, she still felt uncomfortable when she actually saw him.

Thinking of what she said the last time he sent her home, she didn't know what to do now.

Was she just pretending to say hello casually, or was she really pretending not to know him as she said?

Jiang Sui began to feel conflicted again.

However, Si Nian only looked at her for a moment before glancing to the other side to talk to other people.

He actually listened to her and acted as if he had never known her when they met.

But why did her heart still feel depressed and uncomfortable, and a feeling of loss suddenly surged up in her heart?

She stood there for a long time. Li Ai sat down on the sofa, then stood up and pulled her.

"Come here, sit down, what are you staring at?"

Jiang Sui was somewhat dazed as Li Ai pulled him to sit down.

She noticed with her peripheral vision that Si Nian was sitting only one empty seat away from where she was now.

They were so close, but after that glance, he never turned his head to look at her again.

Only at this moment did Jiang Sui deeply realize how painful it was to see the other party put into practice what he said, "We didn't recognize each other when we met" and "Just pretend we've never met each other."

Wu Chunhao started joking and laughing with the young man next to Si Nian at some point. He walked over and motioned for Si Nian to make room for him.

Si Nian had no choice but to move to the side to make room for Wu Chunhao.

But in this way, he would end up sitting next to Jiang Sui.

It was summer, and both Si Nian and she had half of their arms exposed. At such a close distance, if they were not careful, their shoulders and arms might touch.

The muscles in Jiang Sui's tense arms began to stiffen.

But in fact, she was overthinking.

After Si Nian sat down, he was staring at the crowd playing nearby and didn't look at Jiang Sui, but he also kept a proper distance from Jiang Sui.

A bitter feeling welled up in his heart. Jiang Sui turned his head to face Li Ai, not wanting to pay attention to his every move anymore.
