Time passed day by day, and soon it was the day of Baili Chengfeng and Chu Zhixin's engagement ceremony.

The Baili family made the scene very grand, following a purely Chinese style that was traditional yet romantic.

Chu Zhixin wore a rose-red, close-fitting cheongsam. The soft silk surface was mainly black and gold, and was embroidered with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns.

Her waterfall-like hair was lightly tied up, revealing her fair and slender neck, giving her a swan-like elegant and noble look.

"gorgeous!"

Aunt Mei stood in front of the mirror in the dressing room, looking at Chu Zhixin with her delicate makeup, as if she was looking at her own daughter, with a loving and gratified expression.

"If the gentleman and the lady saw you, Miss Xinxin, looking so beautiful and elegant, they would definitely be very happy."

Aunt Mei gently placed her hand on Chu Zhixin's shoulder and said with some emotion: "Back then, you married into the Sheng family alone, and I didn't have the chance to accompany you. You must have suffered a lot of grievances. Now it's all right... I will always be with you, protect you, and be your strongest support."

Back then, the Chu family was impoverished, and Chu Zhixin was an orphan who married into the Sheng family alone. It is easy to imagine how much contempt she would encounter.

But it’s different now. Chu Zhixin, who has remarried, will no longer be isolated and helpless like before. She has a group of people behind her who support and protect her. She has the most powerful group of relatives and friends!

"Aunt Mei, thank you for always being with me. You brought me up single-handedly. I've been involved in so many things over the years and you've been worried about a lot. The two children are also thanks to your meticulous care. You are the person I'm most grateful to and the one I rely on the most."

Chu Zhixin leaned back in Aunt Mei's arms like a child, and said with a smile: "Everyone in the Baili family is very kind to me. They will not let me suffer any grievances. From now on, you just follow me and enjoy your life."

She believed that the Baili family loved her and accepted her, her brother, and their two children, and would definitely treat Aunt Mei well.

Aunt Mei stayed with her in North City so she wouldn't have to bear the hardship of raising two children alone. It was time for her to enjoy her retirement.

Aunt Mei was a little stunned when she heard this. "Miss Xinxin, from what you said, you plan to live in North City permanently?"

"I……"

Chu Zhixin paused, then nodded honestly, "I do have this plan."

"But your career, your relationships, and your roots are all in Haicheng. Wouldn't it be too much trouble for you to move to Beicheng? There are too many things involved. What if in the future..."

Aunt Mei originally wanted to say that if there was any unpleasantness with the Baili family in the future, it would be too embarrassing to move back, but she felt that it was not auspicious to say this at the engagement ceremony, so she forced herself not to say it.

Although, she was not optimistic about the marriage between Chu Zhixin and Baili Chengfeng from the bottom of her heart, but since it was Miss Xinxin's choice, she would support it unconditionally.

But Aunt Mei didn't expect that. She originally thought Chu Zhixin was just looking for a replacement, but now he is going to move to North City. It is obvious that he is serious about it?

"What if he and I separate in the future?"

Chu Zhixin saw Aunt Mei's confusion and took the initiative to continue what she had not finished saying.

"Yes, yes!"

Aunt Mei saw that Chu Zhixin had said this, so she stopped hiding it and said directly: "I can see that you don't really like Master Baili. Your marriage is purely to escape reality. If that's the case, why do you have to be so decisive? Have you ever thought about how much gossip you will bear if you move to North City with great fanfare and you two really can't get along well and you return to Haicheng in disgrace? I don't know how badly people outside will say it. Why do you want to put yourself in this situation?"

"Aunt Mei, you don't understand..."

Chu Zhixin looked at herself in the mirror. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and a unique charm. She seemed like a bride walked out of an ancient painting. It was impossible for anyone not to be moved. Even she almost fell in love with herself.

Therefore, she was very clear that in the relationship between her and Baili Chengfeng, she was the dominant one, and as long as she did not call a stop, they would continue.

Now, she was afraid that she couldn't hold on any longer and that it would end on her own.

And the only reason why she wanted to end it was because of Sheng Tingye.

"If I continue to stay in Haicheng, I will inevitably have interactions with Sheng Tingye. I know very well that I have no self-control. Sometimes, if I look at him, meet him, or say a few words to him, I will be shaken again, so..."

"So, you choose to leave where he is to avoid being shaken?"

Aunt Mei instantly understood Chu Zhixin's thoughts, and felt heartbroken.

Chu Zhixin looked at Aunt Mei, smiled bitterly, and lowered his head with some guilt, "Aunt Mei, do you think that I am a scumbag, or a very useless scumbag, who has been scumbed to that state, but still can't forget it, and can only solve the problem by escaping."

"No!"

Aunt Mei held Chu Zhixin in her arms and gently touched her head. "Because Miss Xinxin is a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty, she definitely won't let go just like that."

"Yes, if you don't see me, you won't miss me anymore. Maybe after a while, you will forget it and let it go!"

Chu Zhixin sighed and said weakly: "This is really the only way I can think of."

She can promise that she will never take the initiative to provoke Sheng Tingye, but she really can't guarantee that if this man provokes her again, will she still be able to resist?

Since I don't have the confidence to control myself, I can only cut off all possible connections with him, just like I escaped to Xiangyang Island that year, to a place where I will hardly have any contact with him again.

North City is the place that the Sheng family cannot enter!

"If you have made up your mind, then go ahead and do it. As I said before, Aunt Mei supports you unconditionally."

After Aunt Mei knew Chu Zhixin's true thoughts, she resolutely chose to support Chu Zhixin, "Don't worry about the children. The two little guys are very sensible and have good adaptability. I will communicate with them more, and they will definitely be willing to come here."

"I am sorry for them."

Chu Zhixin closed her eyes, sadness spreading across her face. "Since they were born, I have been taking them everywhere. They finally adapted to Haicheng, and now I want them to come to Beicheng. I am really not a qualified mother."

"Wherever you are, your child will be there. There is no such thing as traveling or not traveling."

Aunt Mei comforted Chu Zhixin, "Okay, okay, today is your engagement ceremony, be happy and don't think too much."
