The Reluctant Bride

"Okay." Qiao Xinwan laughed, took the box in his hand and walked to the bed, opened it, took it out, and looked at the exquisitely crafted white wedding dress with first-class tailoring design, and his eyes were full of admiration.

The chest-wrapped design, long trailing tail, and many layers of white gauze hanging down, looks very noble and generous.

Regardless of whether Gu Xuewu was still in the room, he rushed to Shen Cheng to hug him, and kissed him on his face: "Shen Cheng, it's so beautiful, I love it."

"Thank you, as long as you like it." Shen Cheng curled his lips and looked at Qiao Xinwan, feeling very uncomfortable and uncomfortable, but he didn't show it on his face.

He glanced at Gu Xuewu, and returned to Qiao Xinwan’s face: "Xinwan. Go try on the wedding dress, I can’t wait to see how you look like you wear it." 0

Qiao Xinwan was taken aback, and when she met Shencheng's eyes, she nodded: "Okay, I will try now."

Stepping towards the bed, she avoided Gu Xuewu's sight, her eyes tangled. With both hands clenched, as soon as he picked up the wedding dress, he saw Gu Xuewu stepping towards the door, and when he passed by Shen Cheng, he gave him a deep look.

But he didn't say anything and left directly.

As soon as he left, Qiao Xinwan seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and she put her hand holding the wedding dress down and sat on the bed without moving.

Tired, really tired.

Only when the thought came up, the body was pulled up and hugged again. When she couldn't respond, Shen Cheng's lips were already pressed down.

"Shen..." Cheng did not. Instinctively wanted to refuse, pushing his chest with both hands, trying to push him away. Shen Cheng refused. Hug her and refuse to let go.

The big hands clasped her waist, not giving her a chance to escape, and kissed her lips desperately. She was a little frightened by this Shen Cheng, and didn't know how to react.

His lips and tongue have rushed in domineeringly. The arrogant kiss is completely different from his person.

He is domineering and powerful. Qiao Xinwan had never seen this before.

"Um..." Don't do that, she frowned uncomfortably, struggling harder and harder. However, Shen Cheng held his arms tighter. Motivated her tongue and forced her to dance with herself.

No. She doesn't hate his breath, but...

Anxiously, he pushed Shen Cheng away forcefully, took a big step back, looked at Shen Cheng, his eyes were guarded: "Shen Cheng, you, you don't want to be like this."

"Why don't you give me a slap?" Shen Cheng's expression was slightly injured, and looked at Qiao Xinwan's face: "Tell me, why not give me a slap?"

His eyes were bloodshot. The breath is heavy and panting. Staring at the woman in front of her, there was an urge to swallow her into her abdomen.

"Shen Cheng, don't do this." Qiao Xinwan was frightened. She didn't want to hurt Shen Cheng, not at all.

"Xin Wan." Shen Cheng's expression was full of pain, helplessness, and entanglement. All sorts of things came to my heart and looked at her eyes, and the bitterness in my heart passed for a while. A huge wave formed, almost swallowing him.

"In your heart, for me, is there a little, even a little love?"

Qiao Xinwan's apricot eyes widened sharply, looking at the person in front of him, there was a flash of shock inside. Love? Love Shencheng?

"Shen Cheng, I..."

"Xin Wan." Shen Cheng found out that he was wrong, really wrong. When Qiao Xinwan rejected herself, he felt painful. But when she really wanted to be with herself, he felt more painful.

"I love you." That kind of love started from heartache, and when he discovered it, it was already beyond his control. For so many years, he watched Xinwan stumble all the way, love pain, love tangled.

He feels distressed. He is worthless for her. But Gu Xuewu is a brother and friend. He cannot blame Gu Xuewu for his unloving.

Feelings are beyond human control. But he felt sorry for Qiao Xinwan. The kind is worthless, distressed, and the more it accumulates. In the end, it was a curse that he couldn't escape.

He knew that Qiao Xinwan loved him not, and he knew better that no matter how hard he tried, there was no way to erase the Gu Xuewu in Qiao Xinwan's heart.

She loved Gu Xuewu for too long and too long, until Gu Xuewu took root in her heart and sprouted. No matter how you pull it, you can't pull it out.

She loved Gu Xuewu to the point that the two of them were clearly divorced. She told herself time and time again that she would forget the past and live the life she wanted, but when Gu Xuewu appeared before her, all her decisions, thoughts , It becomes empty talk. She has no ability to fight.

He understands her helplessness and her struggles, but understanding is one thing. Acceptance is another matter. He tried his best to tell Qiao Xinwan not to be so infatuated, not to love Gu Xuewu so much, to the point of fear.

Fear in love is what Qiao Xinwan said. She obviously could not care about anything, regardless of Gu Xuewu. But every time he faced Gu Xuewu, he always lost a bit of momentum.

So she used herself as a shield. Every time he was unable to face Gu Xuewu, Fan pushed him out. And she didn't even have a place in her heart.

Shen Cheng ah Shen Cheng, you are somehow a famous master in Kyoto. But let yourself be reduced to this point, is this a kind of sadness?

Qiao Xinwan was silent. She didn't know what to say, but felt that nothing was right at this time. She is a despicable person, selfish and selfish.

She admits that every time she faces Gu Xuewu, she always feels like losing before fighting. There is always a lack of confidence.

But in the situation just now, listening to Gu Xuewu's words, she was really angry and angry. What does he consider himself?

In his heart, what is he? He will succeed, and he will succeed without self-esteem, principle, and bottom line.

He hurt her, justified. Hurt mercilessly. Her resistance is too poor, even after so many things, she tries to increase her resistance.

But found it difficult, really difficult. Self-hypnosis, self-repression and real confrontation, are two different things.

She was studying hard, trying to make herself not afraid, but found that it seemed to be counterproductive. It seemed that the more she wanted to escape, the more she wanted to face him.

Over time, a vicious circle has formed. How long will it take for her to get Gu Xuewu out of her heart? She didn't know, really didn't know.

Over time, it became a guilty conscience. When facing Gu Xuewu, she felt guilty. That kind of guilty conscience made her weak, and she unconsciously pushed Shen Cheng out.

This is very unfair to Shen Cheng, she also knows. So when Shen Cheng proposed to herself again and again, she couldn't refuse.

I love you.

It was not the first time that Shen Cheng said this, but it was the first time she was so helpless, so sad, and at a loss.

Constricting his eyes, he glanced at the wedding dress on the bed. She stepped forward, carefully put the wedding dress away, and put it back in the box. Turning to face the helpless disappointment and despair on Shen Cheng's face, she bit her lip, her expression a little bit painful.

"Shen Cheng. I'm sorry."

She was wrong, she simply did not have the ability to accept another relationship at this time. Against Shang Shencheng's gaze, her eyes were so clear for the first time, without any emotion.

"Shen Cheng, I'm sorry."

Apologize again. Qiao Xinwan looked at Shen Cheng. The kiss just now and the despair in Shen Cheng's eyes made her unable to escape.

"Shen Cheng, take these all home."

Calmly remove the ring from his hand. Put her back in the box, and the small box she just threw on the bed. It was a gift from Shen Cheng to Belle. Many marriages.

"Shen Cheng, I'm sorry. I don't love you, I can't marry you."

How to face Gu Xuewu is her business. She could no longer push Shen Cheng out, it was really unfair to him.

Calm tone, without a trace of emotion at all. Showing her current mood. She has completely calmed down.

Shen Cheng was stunned, staring blankly at Qiao Xinwan in front of him. She pursed her lips and looked at his gaze, so firm for the first time.

"I have always been headstrong and selfish. I never thought about your feelings and standpoint. I'm sorry."

"Xin Wan?"

"I keep telling myself that I must forget Gu Xuewu. But it's so difficult. It's really difficult." So long. Gu Xuewu filled her whole life.

Her goal in life except Gu Xuewu is Gu Xuewu. He has blended into her limbs, bones and blood. That kind of love is so long that she can't remove her from her heart at all.

So when faced with Gu Xuewu, she was unconsciously weakened in momentum.

"Xin Wan--" Shen Cheng didn't know what to say. Qiao Xinwan didn't give him a chance to speak at all: "I will work hard, and I will try to forget him. I will also try to make myself not afraid of him. I will work hard to make myself strong and live a good life. Together with Belle, give Belle Let her grow up healthy and happy in a loving environment."

"Let me work hard. Don't rely on anyone.

She had said this before, but now she is really thinking about it. Facing the shock in Shang Shencheng's eyes, he put those things into his hands again: "That's it, okay? Shencheng. Make me strong, live by myself, and don't rely on anyone. I will work hard. Forget about Gu Xuewu." uehw.

Although it was difficult, very difficult, she knew that she would work hard starting today.

Shen Cheng was stunned for a while, unexpectedly the result would be like this, staring blankly at Qiao Xinwan's eyes, the corners of his lips pressed into a straight line. Fists with both hands, looking at Qiao Xinwan.

He suddenly became desperate: "Xinwan, I won't push you anymore, okay? I was wrong just now. We are still like before, you marry me. I will try my best not to put pressure on you. Can you?"

"No need." Qiao Xinwan shook her head. The things she decided would not change: "Shen Cheng. Gu Xuewu refused to hand over the child to me. It turned out to be correct. I can't even protect myself. How can I protect my daughter?"

From today on, she will work hard to be a brand-new Qiao Xinwan, even if she does not have Shen Cheng, she must face Gu Xuewu. Protect your daughter from any harm.

Shen Cheng wanted to say something, but felt that all the language was so pale and weak. ()
