Bo Jingzhou's gaze fell coldly on Xiao Hengyu.

Xiao Hengyu was clearly dressed up carefully today, wearing a dark bespoke suit and his hair was combed meticulously, making him look quite presentable.

Ah.

Bo Jingzhou scoffed inwardly.

Instead of stepping forward immediately, he chose to stand in a corner where he could observe the whole situation without being discovered, waiting for an opportunity to act.

He wanted to see what Xiao Hengyu was really up to.

When Song Yunchen arrived, he happened to see Bo Jingzhou standing alone in a corner smoking.

A huge potted plant blocked his view.

His gaze was fixed on the two people standing opposite each other in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the distance.

Song Yunchen walked to his side, followed his gaze and looked ahead, naturally seeing Xiao Hengyu as well. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You're just going to watch? Why don't you go over?"

Upon hearing this, Bo Jingzhou glanced at Song Yunchen, then looked away. "What would I do there? I trust her."

Song Yunchen looked at the cigarette butt flickering between his fingers and couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, teasingly saying, "If you believe me, would you really smoke here by yourself?"

Bo Jingzhou glanced at him again, this time with a hint of "what do you know?" in his eyes, but his tone remained indifferent: "There are rules before the wedding that the bride and groom should not meet, so it is not appropriate for me to show up now."

Song Yunchen raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing understanding and a hint of amusement: "Is that so?"

He clearly didn't believe it.

Is it an excuse to show off one's magnanimity, or just a pretext?

However, Song Yunchen was a smart man. Since his good brother had said so, Xiao Hengyu was not there to cause trouble, so naturally there would be no problems.

But he still offered a word of comfort: "But honestly, there's really nothing to worry about."

He looked in Xiao Hengyu's direction and chuckled, "Because of his rival in love, you are still slightly better than him."

Bo Jingzhou sneered: "Ha, a rival in love?"

"Is he worthy?"

He paused, then glanced at Xiao Hengyu again, his tone extremely confident: "He's barely qualified to be a rival in love."

The implication was that Xiao Hengyu didn't even qualify as a rival in love.

And he will not shake the relationship between him and Su Yutang at all.

Song Yunchen smiled and then patted Bo Jingzhou on the shoulder: "Okay, as long as you know what you're doing. I'll go ahead and greet them. Don't smoke too much, you'll be on stage as the groom later."

Bo Jingzhou nodded, stubbed out his cigarette in the nearby extinguisher, but his gaze remained fixed on the two figures in the distance.

Although he believed Su Yutang could handle it, he also wanted to make sure that nothing unexpected could ruin their wedding today.

......

Over there, Su Yutang walked up to Xiao Hengyu and stopped.

She cut to the chase and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Xiao Hengyu looked at her, his gaze lingering for a moment on her exquisite makeup and gorgeous wedding dress, a strange emotion flashing in his eyes.

Then, he pulled out an exquisite dark blue velvet box from behind him.

He opened the box in front of Su Yutang.

In an instant, even under bright natural light, the light inside the box almost overflowed.

It was a complete and flawless set of pigeon blood ruby ​​jewelry, including a necklace, earrings, rings, and a bracelet.

The gemstones are rich and pure in color, perfectly cut, and exquisitely set with dazzling diamonds. The entire set of jewelry is magnificent and eye-catching, exuding a breathtaking beauty and... an aura of immense value.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is an absolutely priceless, possibly even hundreds of millions, rare treasure.

Xiao Hengyu turned the box towards Su Yutang and said in a calm voice, "It's for you, a wedding gift."

Su Yutang's gaze swept over the jewelry set, and her brows furrowed: "Xiao Hengyu, you know I don't lack these things."

She was right.

With the wealth and status of the Su and Bo families, and Bo Jingzhou's doting on her, what kind of jewelry couldn't she have?

There was really no need for Xiao Hengyu to send such a generous gift.

Moreover, the significance and meaning of this gift seem particularly abrupt and heavy when given at this moment.

Xiao Hengyu seemed to have anticipated her response. He tugged at the corner of his mouth, his gaze still fixed on her face: "Of course I know you don't lack anything. What I can give, Bo Jingzhou can give you as well, perhaps even better than what I have."

He paused, his tone becoming somewhat stubborn, "But this is a gift from me, it's different."

Upon hearing this, Su Yutang chuckled softly: "The one you gave me is indeed different. Precisely because it was given to me by you, I won't wear it. In that case, why bother?"

Her refusal was decisive and even carried a sense of drawing a clear line.

But Xiao Hengyu did not back down.

He still held the open jewelry box, looking at her with deep eyes. His voice sounded painful, yet unusually sincere: "Then keep it and give it to Little Candy. Consider it a dowry that I, her former fake father, prepared in advance. Whether you believe it or not, my feelings for that child are genuine."

These words were spoken with such sincerity that it seemed as if he had come today simply to offer his blessings.

Whether it's true or false, an excuse or the truth, it doesn't matter.

Su Yutang frowned, her gaze falling once more on the valuable ruby ​​set, then glancing at Xiao Hengyu's hand, which was still holding the box.

After much deliberation, Su Yutang finally decided to accept it.

She didn't refuse again and readily accepted the velvet box containing the priceless jewelry: "Alright, then I'll thank Mr. Xiao for his kindness on behalf of Little Candy. I'll accept it."

After accepting the substantial "dowry," Su Yutang thought the meeting was over.

She was getting ready to leave.

Xiao Hengyu suddenly called out to her, "Su Tangtang."

Su Yutang was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him.

Xiao Hengyu looked at her and continued calling out, "Su Tangtang, this may be the last time I call you that."

the last time?

For some reason, Su Yutang's heart tightened slightly, and her brows furrowed involuntarily.

She suddenly had a premonition that this would be the last time she saw Xiao Hengyu.

Because at this moment, Xiao Hengyu's eyes had shed their usual scheming and obsession, revealing a seriousness she had never seen before, even mixed with a trace of emotion that was hard to decipher.

He came all this way today, and it certainly wasn't just to give a wedding gift.

So she didn't say anything, but just stood there quietly, waiting for Xiao Hengyu to continue.

Xiao Hengyu gazed intently at her, watching her in her wedding dress, about to marry another man.

He knew all too well that this woman did not belong to him.

He also knew that the only difference was that the name Su Tangtang was something he had forcibly given her and had only briefly possessed.

In that short time, he had already recalled those six months, the six months after she lost her memory, when he lied and said she was "Su Tangtang" and kept her by his side.

During those six months, although there was much deception, there was also genuine sincerity in him.

Su Yutang clearly remembered it too, her brows furrowing even more; it was clearly a bad memory for her.

But it was different for Xiao Hengyu.

He slowly began, “Su Tangtang, I just want to tell you that those stolen six months, though built on lies and though short… were the happiest six months of my life.”
