Who moved her body?
Chapter 2 I'm sorry, I'm getting married.
"Hi!" Zeng Meiqian waved to Guan Jie behind the glass door.
Guan Jie walked to the car, kissed Zeng Meiqian who was leaning over, then opened the door and got into the car. Then, naturally, he gave his fiancée a light kiss on the forehead.
This is a habit they have maintained since they started dating.
Zeng Meiqian stepped on the gas, and the sports car roared, leaving the office building far behind.
"In the afternoon, Lisa turned down all her clients, giving us all the time, so we can take our time choosing."
Guan Jie knew that Lisa, whom his fiancée was talking about, was her wedding dress designer, a famous celebrity in Senhai City, who even designed the wedding dresses of many well-known domestic artists.
"Actually, you look good in anything." Guan Jie affectionately twirled a strand of his fiancée's hair that had drifted over his finger.
"I know you love me and don't care what kind of wedding dress I wear, but there will be many guests at our wedding, and I don't want you to lose face. I want everyone to envy you as the groom."
"Okay, whatever you say."
……
Guan Jie and Zeng Meiqian have been together for three years, and their wedding is scheduled for the anniversary of their relationship. Guan Jie knows that Zeng Meiqian likes all meaningful dates, although he doesn't think it's really necessary.
It was Zeng Meiqian who pursued Guan Jie relentlessly.
At first, Guan Jie kept Zeng Meiqian at arm's length, and a year later, that attitude remained unchanged.
Guan Jie, a cold and stubborn handsome retired man who grew up in an orphanage; Zeng Meiqian, a passionate heiress. The two had absolutely nothing in common in terms of upbringing or education, so no one believed they would end up together, and no one believed that Zeng Meiqian would be the one who was pampered after they got together.
Three years ago, Guan Jie suddenly said to Zeng Meiqian, "Let's be together." And so, the two began a love that everyone envied.
Many people asked Zeng Meiqian how she won over the handsome man. Zeng Meiqian said that it must have been her persistence that moved Guan Jie. However, she herself did not know the real reason, just as she did not know about Guan Jie's past life. She asked him, but Guan Jie was unwilling to mention it.
Guan Jie didn't say anything, nor did she press him. She said it wasn't important to her anymore; what mattered was that they were getting married soon.
Let bygones be bygones.
The thought of wearing a wedding dress and standing on stage with Guan Jie, receiving everyone's blessings, made Zeng Meiqian's lips curl into a smile.
"I'm so happy!"
"We will be happy for the rest of our lives," Guan Jie said.
"Without a doubt."
The wedding dress shop was quite busy, as evidenced by the number of cars parked outside.
A security guard cleared away the obstructions from the reserved parking space, and then a salesperson came out to direct Zeng Meiqian to park. Although it was unnecessary, it felt quite nice, and Zeng Meiqian returned the salesperson's friendly smile to the one in the custom-tailored suit.
"Ms. Zeng, Mr. Guan, this way please." The salesperson pointed the way and opened the door for them.
"Lisa is waiting for you two inside." The salesperson opened a door leading to a large room at the back. Zeng Meiqian and Guan Jie went in, and the door closed behind them, instantly shutting out the noise of people choosing wedding dresses outside.
A corridor lined with photos leads to a spacious, well-lit studio with a large floor-to-ceiling window. Lisa, with her sleek back, is trying on a wedding dress on a mannequin.
"Hi, Lisa." Zeng Meiqian greeted Lisa in a style of greeting typical of Westerners.
Lisa used a safety pin to secure the fabric on the mannequin, straightened up, took the measuring tape off her neck and casually placed it on the mannequin's shoulder, then stretched out her arms and walked towards Zeng Meiqian. The two approached and embraced.
This is how people who have lived abroad meet.
"This is Lisa, and Lisa, this is my fiancé, Guan Jie." Zeng Meiqian introduced Lisa and Guan Jie to each other.
Guan Jie nodded and then reached out to shake hands with Lisa.
After shaking hands, Lisa said meaningfully to Zeng Meiqian, "No wonder Mr. Guan was able to win your heart. Meeting him today, I can see that he truly lives up to his reputation."
Guan Jie was somewhat surprised; he didn't know Lisa knew him.
Zeng Meiqian quickly pushed Lisa to the back, saying in a coquettish tone, "Didn't you say you had several outfits for me to choose from? Hurry up!"
"Your fiancé is so handsome and has such a great physique, no wonder you're reluctant to bring him out to meet us. Are you afraid we'll steal him away?"
"No way, Guan Jie is very busy, and he doesn't like socializing." Zeng Meiqian tossed her long hair and said confidently, "My fiancé is not interested in women except for me. You can try it if you don't believe me."
"So confident?" Lisa turned to look at Guan Jie.
"Of course." Zeng Meiqian turned around and gave Guan Jie a playful wink.
Although Lisa is over forty, perhaps because she has always been in the fashion industry, she still has the playfulness of a young person. She jokingly turned to Guan Jie and said, "Mr. Guan, you are so lucky. Look how much our rich young lady wants to marry you, hahaha."
The two chatted and laughed as they walked behind a decorative partition, which led to a private room where Lisa displayed her wedding dress, which she had designed and sewn herself.
The salesperson who had previously guided Guan Jie and Zeng Meiqian came in and brought Guan Jie tea and cola.
"Mr. Guan, please have a seat. Trying on the wedding dress takes a while, and it probably won't be ready anytime soon."
"Okay, thank you." Guan Jie chose some tea and sat down on a sofa near the floor-to-ceiling window.
The tea leaves swirled in the boiling water, several tender leaves already unfurling, lazily stretching out their yellowish-green petals, absorbing enough water to slowly begin to fall vertically. Their elegance made one wonder if these tea leaves were actually living, breathing leaf spirits.
Guan Jie, who was staring blankly at the tea leaves, was a little dazed and suddenly couldn't remember why he was there.
Guan Jie looked up and around. The half-finished wedding dress on the mannequin reminded him that he was there to accompany his fiancée to choose a wedding dress. He was about to embark on a new stage of his life.
"If I hadn't left first that day...maybe it would have been you wearing the wedding dress." Guan Jie felt a spasm in his throat. He had always thought he had forgiven himself, but the feeling at this moment made him realize that he had been deceiving himself all along.
"Xiao Xian, I'm sorry, I'm about to marry someone else." Guan Jie clenched his fists, feeling a sharp, agonizing pain in his heart.
The pain was excruciating; Guan Jie would turn pale and break out in a cold sweat every time it happened. This pain had plagued him ever since Song Xiaoxian's death. Although the police gave him three months' leave, the inexplicable pain would still surface from time to time, making it impossible for him to concentrate. So he left the police force.
The long-lost feeling is like an enemy who has been chasing you for a long time but has suddenly disappeared. His appearance makes you both scared and surprised.
……
"Honey, how's this one?" Zeng Meiqian walked out from behind the partition wall, lifting the hem of her wedding dress, and turned around to show it to Guan Jie.
As if he had suddenly received an order while on duty, Guan Jie sat up abruptly from the sofa and stared straight at Zeng Meiqian.
