Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 115 Memories of Good Times
This man was exactly the kind of man she dreamed of. Nan Wu was captivated by him and secretly inquired about him in various ways. His phone number sat in her phone for a month, but she didn't dare to call him.

It wasn't until she heard that a girl was pursuing Ning Zhiyuan that Nan Wu finally mustered up the courage to call him.

"Hello, is this Ning Zhiyuan from the University of Finance and Economics?"

"I am... and you are..."

"I'm Su Ying from Yangcheng University. We met at the school's arts and culture exchange event before, don't you remember me?"

"Oh, it's you. I remember you. Is there something you need?"

"I'd like to...I'd like to ask you out for dinner, is that alright?"

After making the call, Nanwu's face was so hot it could fry an egg. She then buried her face in the pillow and happily kicked her toes around.

That summer breeze was gentle, blowing through her hair and ears. As the pleasant dinner came to an end, Ning Zhiyuan called out to her.

"Su Ying, will you be my girlfriend?"

He stood under the cherry blossom tree, open and sincere, confident and expectant. Under the soft glow of the streetlights, he looked like a prince on a white horse, ready to marry his beloved princess.

At that moment, Nan Wu was stunned.

So he liked me too!
That night, he became her boyfriend, and she became his girlfriend. They became the campus couple that everyone envied.

Because they went to different schools, whenever Ning Zhiyuan didn't have classes, he would come to Nan Wu's school to wait for her. He would bring her snacks, give her cute and exquisite little gifts, and secretly watch her through the classroom window.

Their figures can be seen in the school corridors, on the playground, and under the pavilions.

Because of Ning Zhiyuan, Nan Wu became a spoiled little girl who would cry, make a fuss, and throw tantrums. Ning Zhiyuan always indulged her and gave in to her. He would sit cross-legged on the lawn and spontaneously play and sing a song for her.

Nanwu doesn't like fatty meat, so he's responsible for eating what she leaves behind. Nanwu doesn't like him being confessed to by girls, so he announces on the school forum that he has a girlfriend.

In short, he does whatever makes Nan Wu happy, and his eyes are only for her.

Everyone assumed that their relationship would last a lifetime, and even Nan Wu herself thought that she would definitely marry him someday. However, until one day...

I'd rather leave without saying goodbye.

She heard it from others: Ning Zhiyuan went to Switzerland to find his birth mother. His parents divorced when he was in high school, and his birth mother later remarried overseas. His stepfather was a wealthy businessman. He went to Switzerland to rely on his birth mother and stepfather's connections and wealth to settle down there and pursue a better quality of life.

He simply vanished from Nanwu's world, without a single phone call or message, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, or as if he had never existed at all.

Love arrives with unforgettable intensity, but the sudden pain of its departure leaves her utterly devastated, like a broken, abandoned doll on the verge of collapse.

After a period of depression and despair, Nan Wu quickly regained her spirits. In order to forget this relationship, she studied desperately and kept herself busy, thus numbing herself and forgetting the past.

For the past four years, she has occasionally thought of the man who once appeared in her life and brought her sunshine and happiness, but she never thought that they would meet again one day.

Upon seeing Ning Zhiyuan again, Nan Wu was agitated and filled with hatred—hatred for his abrupt departure and for toying with her feelings. Just moments ago, she should have slapped him and demanded to know why he had abandoned her. However, Nan Wu felt that all of this was pointless now.

Ning Zhiyuan's appearance was like a stone thrown into the lake of her heart, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.

As if possessed, she walked to the window and lifted a corner of the curtain.

The figure was still standing straight in place. As if sensing something, Ning Zhiyuan suddenly raised his eyes.

Nan Wu's heart skipped a beat. She quickly hid behind the curtains and, after a moment, looked back, only to see the car's taillights gradually fading away...

The next day, early in the morning.

Bang bang bang!
Nanwu had insomnia last night. She had just managed to close her eyes when she was woken up by urgent knocking on the door.

"Dad, what are you doing so early in the morning?" Nan Wu asked, yawning as she opened the door.

Nan Dongxue immediately launched into a tirade, "Young Master Xiao called this morning saying he wanted to call off the engagement. What happened? What happened between you two? Tell me, did you upset Young Master Xiao? Otherwise, why would he want to call off the engagement for no reason?"

"Just for this? I'll tell you all about it when I wake up!"

Nan Wu had expected Xiao Jiayang to cause trouble. She hadn't gotten any advantage last night and had even been knocked unconscious. Anyone would feel humiliated in that situation, especially someone like Xiao Jiayang, who was a shady character.

Nan Dongxue gritted his teeth and grabbed her arm. "You're about to be kicked out by the Xiao family, and you still have the mood to sleep? I think you're deliberately trying to make me unhappy, aren't you? Do you know how many rich heiresses and socialites in Ningcheng are lining up to marry into the Xiao family? The fact that this spot fell into your lap is a testament to your good fortune in your past life. You actually dared to offend Young Master Xiao. Let me tell you, Xiao Wu, if this marriage falls through, I'm not finished with you!"

Nan Wu brushed his hand away, her expression turning cold. "There's no point in yelling at me like that. It's not like I broke off the engagement!"

"you!"

"Sister, this is not right of you!" Jiang Rourou, who had been watching the scene unfold for a while, walked over gracefully, clearly there to sow discord. "Young Master Xiao is gentle, considerate, filial, and reasonable. He certainly wouldn't break off the engagement without a reason. So, sister, could it be that you did something to offend him, which is why Young Master Xiao is so furious?"

Nan Dongxue glared at Nan Wu with a fierce look that seemed to want to devour her alive. "Tell me, did Young Master Xiao find out you were messing around outside? I knew it! Why were you always staying out all night lately? I should have known! You shameless thing, doing this kind of thing behind Young Master Xiao's back! I'll beat you to death today!"

Nan Dongxue raised his hand as he spoke.

Nan Wu didn't dodge; instead, she brought her face closer. "Go ahead and hit me. You'd better just kill me; that way you won't have to look at me and get annoyed!"

Nan Dongxue raised his hand, but ultimately didn't swing it. It wasn't because he was reluctant, but because the matter wasn't resolved, and if he slapped him, he might extinguish even the last glimmer of hope.

Nan Wu used to be easy to handle, but since her personality changed, she has become rebellious and cunning, and there's no way to deal with her.

Just like now, Nan Dongxue had his hand raised above his head but wouldn't bring it down. He angrily swung his arm and helplessly pointed at her from afar, "How could I, Nan Dongxue, have given birth to a daughter like you? It's truly a sin!"

"You, go to the Xiao family right now and apologize to Young Master Xiao. In short, no matter what method you use, you must make Young Master Xiao forgive you and accept you back. If this marriage really falls through, don't come back. I won't acknowledge you as a woman anymore, hmph!"

After saying that, Nan Dongxue stormed off with his hands behind his back.
