He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

In the study, the makeup artist had quickly set up a simple dressing table.

Song Zhi sat in front of the mirror, looking at her plain face in the mirror, and her heart suddenly beat faster.

After today, she will officially become Mrs. Fu.

"Let's start with basic skincare," the makeup artist said softly, gently cleansing Song Zhi's face. "Your skin is in great condition; you'll definitely look beautiful today."

Xiao Wan sat to the side watching, feeling a little envious.

Song Zhi reached out and took Xiao Wan's hand, smiled, and said nothing.

Xiao Wan sighed: "Zhizhi, that's so nice. I really envy you."

"Okay, you will meet your true love too."

The morning sunlight streamed into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains, and Wei Yinuo was jolted awake from her hazy dream by the ringing of her cell phone.

She groped her way to the bedside table, and only when her fingertips touched the cold screen of her phone did she suddenly remember what day it was.

"Hello, Mom."

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, her voice still carrying a hint of drowsiness.

"Nono, how are your aunt's preparations going?"

The mother's voice on the other end of the phone was filled with undisguised anticipation.

Wei Yinuo sat up abruptly.

"I don't know, I just woke up..." She glanced at the time on her phone and suddenly felt a little guilty.

"Did your aunt just get up too?"

"no."

She stepped barefoot onto the soft carpet. "I must have overslept. My aunt must have been up long ago. I'll go check on her now."

After hanging up her mother's phone call, Wei Yinuo quickly washed up.

As I pushed open the bedroom door, the aroma of fried eggs wafted out.

The living room was empty, with only the sound of spatulas clattering coming from the kitchen.

Good morning, Great-Auntie...

She peeked out from the kitchen door frame, scratching her messy hair like a child who had done something wrong.

The old lady turned around, her apron covered in flour, and her smile smoothed out the wrinkles around her eyes.

"Little girl, you're finally awake? Your aunt is putting on makeup in the study; she's been busy for two hours."

Wei Yinuo was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I overslept."

"It's alright. Do you want to have breakfast now? Breakfast is ready."

Wei Yinuo waved her hand: "No need, I'm going to see my aunt now."

As he spoke, he walked toward the study.

Just as I reached the door of the study, my phone vibrated again.

The words "Xu Ning" flashing on the screen made her fingers freeze in mid-air.

Wei Yinuo hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the phone.

"Nono," Xu Ning said cautiously, as if afraid of disturbing something, "I heard you went back to China?"

"Um."

She stared at the peeling nail polish on her nails, her voice unusually calm.

"When did you get back? How come I...?"

“Yesterday,” she interrupted him, her nails digging unconsciously into her palms, “I went to your apartment yesterday.”

I heard the sound of a glass being knocked over on the other end of the phone, followed by a flurry of activity.

Wei Yinuo could almost picture his panicked state at that moment.

"You saw everything?"

Xu Ning's voice suddenly became dry.

"Yes, I can see it very clearly."

She looked out the window, the sunlight stinging her eyes. "You and her are kissing."

"Nono, I can explain."

"No need."

She took a deep breath, her fingernails leaving crescent-shaped red marks on her palms. "We've broken up, remember? You crossed the line first."

"I don't agree to break up!"

Xu Ning suddenly raised her voice, then immediately softened it, "Nono, give me another chance, let's meet and talk, okay?"

Wei Yinuo closed her eyes, and the image of the unfamiliar high heels at the apartment door and the ambiguous light leaking from the crack in the door floated into her mind.

After six months of long-distance relationship, she knew that there were many problems between them.

She subconsciously felt that Xu Ning loved her so much, for so many years, how could he possibly fall in love with someone else?

He must have been pestered, so he secretly came back, only to be met with this "surprise".

"I'm busy today, it's my uncle's wedding."

She heard herself answer mechanically.

"I know, I received an invitation too."

Xu Ning said eagerly, "Shall we have a proper talk at the wedding?"

Wei Yinuo did not answer and hung up the phone directly.

The moment the phone screen went dark, a tear fell onto the lock screen photo.

That was a photo they took together when Xu Ning went to see her.

"Nono?" the old lady's voice came from behind, "Why are you standing there daydreaming?"

She quickly wiped her eyes, then turned around with a bright smile: "I was a little nervous."

"What are you so nervous about? Eat something first before you go in."

"Can I take it inside?"

"OK."

"it is good."

Wei Yinuo brought breakfast to the study.

Song Zhi's makeup was almost done.

She exclaimed, "Wow, Auntie, you're so beautiful! My uncle would definitely drool if he saw you!"

Song Zhi smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"I want to take a picture."

Wei Yinuo was somewhat excited.

Song Zhi smiled and said, "Let's take pictures together after the painting is finished. There's still time now."

"Good."

After Wei Yinuo finished speaking, she remembered that she needed to report the situation to her elderly mother.

"Auntie, let me call my mom first."

Song Zhi nodded: "Okay, go ahead."

Wei Yinuo left the study and called her elderly mother.

A moment later, the old lady came in: "Zhizhi, did Fu Lu say when he's coming?"

"It's on its way, it should be here soon."

"I'll go down and see if the wedding cars have arrived yet."

"Grandma, you don't need to go. They'll come up when they arrive."

Xiao Wan, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement: "Yes, no need."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and said, "Zhizhi, how about we block the door and hide the shoes or something?"

"No need, I think it's too much trouble."

Xiao Wan teased, "Tsk tsk tsk, she's starting to speak up for her father-in-law now."

Song Zhi blushed: "No, then how about you guys just place a bet as a token gesture?"

"What about the shoes?"

"Tibetan."

Xiao Wan nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it."

After finishing her makeup, Song Zhi returned to her bedroom.

The bedroom was decorated in advance, and it was very festive.

After the two girls hid the wedding shoes, they tidied up Song Zhi's wedding dress and had her sit on the bed, waiting for Fu Lu to come over.

Suddenly, the sound of cannons being fired came from downstairs.

Xiao Wan was a little excited: "They're here, they're here, quickly close the door."

Seeing Xiao Wan and Wei Yinuo's excited expressions, Song Zhi smiled faintly.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door.

Song Zhi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Xiao Wan blocked the doorway: "If you want to come in, give me a red envelope first."

He then pushed the door open a crack.

The next second, the door was pushed open forcefully, and Xiao Wan screamed, trying to block it and push the person out.

Fu Lu handed the red envelope in his hand directly to her: "Is this alright?"

Xiao Wan felt the heavy red envelope in her hand and then led the person to the room with satisfaction.

"come in."

Fu Lu walked in and saw Song Zhi sitting on the bed, holding a round fan in her hand.
