Annabelle stood there and looked at Vanessa. Her gaze was indifferent but she could tell Vanessaâs feelings towards Song Jing.
At that moment, Song Jing raise his gaze and accidentally made eye contact with Annabelle. Annabelle did not shy away and she stared at him.
There wasnât any hint of unhappiness or blame, none whatsoever emotion at all.
However, that kind of gaze gave Song Jing a great disappointment.
She didnât show him even the slightest bit of emotion...
None at all.
The man stood there and looked at Vanessa. After that, his lips curled up, "Sorry, I forgot..."
At that moment, Vanessa was stunned. Because it had been a long, long time since Song Jing smiled at her like that. At that moment, Vanessaâs heart was filled with sunshine and rainbows. She hadnât thought that Song Jing had his own agenda.
At that time, Song Jing walked closer and looked at Vanessa. The two of them looked at each other and that very moment, Vanessa thought that it was her persistence that moved Song Jing...
However, as another fellow man, Alistair understood what he was thinking.
He looked at them and squinted. The manâs lips curled up sophisticatedly and examined them.
"I can tell that the relationship between the two of you isnât as simple as growing up together!" Alistair was always straight-forward with his words.
Song Jing turned his head back and look at them, "Let me introduce, Vanessa, the daughter of Yalman!"
When Alistair heard that, his eyebrows furrowed deeply. He stared at Vanessa and asked, "Your father is Yalman!?" At the same time, Annabelle was shocked as well. The woman had stayed in London for two years and she had heard of that man.
According to her knowledge, the man Yalman was tied to the royalties. He was a very respectable man.
At that time, Alistair's lips curled up and he said, "Pleased to meet your acquaintance, princess from London!"
Vanessa simply smiled humbly and didnât deny. Alistair was indeed a knowledgeable man.
"Welcome to A city, China!" Alistair lifted his glass. At that time, Vanessa lifted hers as well and all the others followed along.
"Thank you!" Vanessa smiled. The woman was graceful and elegant, justifying her well upbringing.
"If thatâs the case, please stay for a few more days. You are most welcome to attend my wedding with Annabelle..." After saying that, he turned his head over and smiled at Annabelle.
Annabelle looked at Alistair and she was smiling as well. Although she knew that he was saying that on purpose, that was still the truth.
However, right after Alistair said that, everyone else was stunned. Song Jingâs reaction was the biggest.
Vanessa looked at them and she was surprised, "Are the two of you getting married?"
Alistair nodded, "After Annabelleâs brother is done with his, we will be next!" Originally, he didnât plan to announce it. But now that Ralphy gave him such a surprise, he decided to improvise and take it up a notch.
Song Jingâs body tensed up. He looked at Annabelle in disbelief but he saw the woman smiling...
At that time, Vanessa was stunned. She turned her head back and looked at Song Jing. The moment she saw that he had a pained expression, she felt sorrowful for him...
He still couldnât forget her and let go...
"Annabelle, brother Alistair, have the two of you decided to get married?" Renee asked from behind. She was the main character for the night and she had everyoneâs attention on her. As she said that, everyone from around heard her clearly, and that included Ralphy, who was greeting his guests...
When the crowd heard that, all of them averted their gaze to them.
Alistair glanced over at Ralphy and then back to Renee. His lips curled up as he said, "Thatâs right, we will be the next after you guys!"
"The two of you finally made the decision, congratulations Annabelle, brother Alistair!" Renee cheered.
Annabelle smiled, "Thank you, but you are the main character for the night!"
"Whatâs the problem with that, we can get married together!" Renee fantasized.
"No!" Alistair rejected the idea right away, "I want to give Annabelle an unprecedented, the most special marriage. I will not do it together with you guys!" Alistair rejected it determinedly.
Renee smiled, "Brother Alistair, since when are you such a romantic?"
Alistair smiled and looked at Annabelle...
At that time, those that heard the news came over to congratulate them.
It was Ralphyâs engagement party but Alistair ended up becoming the spotlight.
Ralphy stood behind and looked at them. The man had a grim expression. He hadnât thought that things would become like that.
At that time, Annabelle was chatting with Dorie and Vanessa came over and looked at Annabelle, "Miss Xia, can I talk to you alone?"
Dorie turned her head back. The moment she saw Vanessa, her intuition told her that she wasnât a bad person like Yoi. She rested her heart and looked at Annabelle, "I will take a walk over there!"
Annabelle nodded and Dorie walked away.
Annabelle stood there and Vanessa came forward, "Sorry for my rudeness."
Annabelle shook her head, "Itâs okay. Donât worry and speak your mind!"
Vanessa pondered for a while and decided to speak, "You should know that Song Jing likes you, right?" Vanessa asked.
Annabelle hadnât expected her to be so straightforward. She nodded, "However, he is nothing more than a brother and a friend to me!"
"Do you really think so?" Vanessa asked.
Annabelle nodded, "If I have even the slightest feeling towards him, I wouldnât make such a decision today!"
Vanessa looked at Annabelle and her eyes were somewhat envious. Annabelle was a determined woman and she had that resolution and perseverance in pursuing her own happiness.
"I believe you!"
Annabelle looked at her and said gently, "I think the relationship between the two of you isnât as simple as growing up together, right?"
When Vanessa heard that question, she had no intention to hide from Annabelle. She nodded, "the two of us were betrothed to each other since we were kids, I am his fiancée!"
When Annabelle heard that, she was surprised. She had known Song Jing for so long and she had never heard him saying that.
When Vanessa looked at Annabelleâs expression, she knew it.
She smiled, "Song Jing might not have told you about it!"
Annabelle nodded. Right before she wanted to say something, Vanessa continued, "But I know you!"
Annabelle was speechless.
"Two years ago, our family asked us to get married but he was strongly against it. At that time, I knew that something was wrong. There was a time that I accidentally saw a picture in his office. And that was when I learnt of you!" Vanessa said.
Annabelle had never known anything about that.
Two years ago, she was still in London. Therefore, everything that happened started back then...
When she knew Song Jing, she thought that he came from a wealthy family. However, she hadnât thought that his background would be so prestigious. Annabelle had never asked about his privacy and they continued to maintain an ambiguous relationship. Therefore, she had no knowledge about that.
"Sorry, I didn't know about all that!"
Vanessa simply smiled, "I know, thatâs because he had hidden it from you..." Although it was a harsh and infuriating conversation, Annabelle couldnât see any sign of anger on Vanessaâs face. Whenever she mentioned anything about Song Jing, her eyes were gentle.
Annabelle looked at her and she didnât know what to say. After pondering for a while, she said, "I might be a close friend or family to him in the future.
Or maybe I will simply be a temporary passerby in his life. I will never be the person that could stay by his side and he needed someone like that!"
Annabelle looked at Vanessa and said smilingly.
When Vanessa heard that, her eyes were gleaming in hope. She looked at Annabelle and said, "Really?"
Annabelle nodded, "Song Jing isnât a heartless person. He had invested too much of his attentiveness on me earlier and he turned a blind eye to anything else. There will be a day when he notices the very person that treated him best..." Annabelle said sincerely.
Vanessaâs lips curled up, "I believe so too. Miss Xia, thank you!"
Annabelle smiled, "Vanessa, I am really happy that you are together with Song Jing!" Even the last ounce of guilt was gone after her meeting with Vanessa.
So Song Jing had someone that loved him so dearly... Annabelleâs heart was rested.
Vanessa smiled.
At that time, Song Jing appeared behind them, "Vanessa!"
Vanessa turned her head back. The moment that she saw Song Jing, she was stunned, "Song Jing..."
Song Jing walked forward and looked at the two women. He frowned as he asked, "What were you girls talking about?"
"Nothing, just some cultural experiences!" Annabelle said right away, before Vanessa could say anything.
Song Jing knew that they wouldnât be talking about their cultural experiences. He knew Annabelleâs personality too well.
If she were to talk about that, she might as well watch kidsâ cartoon.
Vanessa looked at Annabelle and smiled. After that, she said, "Iâll go look for Ira over there!" After saying that, she gave them some space and walked away.
As Annabelle looked at Vanessaâs back view, she couldnât help but feel impassioned. A similar circumstance but an entirely different woman. Vanessa was miles apart compared to Yoi.
If Yoi was half the woman Vanessa was, none of those would have happened...
However, she had stubbornly gone to the path of no return. And now, she finally hits a wall.
Annabelle could feel how much Vanessa loved Song Jing. And she was generous enough to leave them some privacy to talk. All of a sudden, Annabelle had great respect and admiration towards Vanessa.
At that time, Song Jingâs gaze was fixated on Annabelleâs face, "You got chubbier..." He said suddenly.
When Annabelle heard that, she was stunned for a moment. After she came back to her senses, she looked at Song Jing and smiled, "You lost some weight!"
Song Jing smiled bitterly and averted his gaze. He pondered for a while and looked back in her eyes, "You... Have you really made up your mind to marry him?"
It seemed that the man had mustered every ounce of his courage to ask that question.
Annabelle nodded, "We still havenât fixed the date." But she had made up her mind.

"I can tell that Vanessa loves you very much..." Annabelle said.
