Chapter 408: 408: I'm Getting Married_1

At four in the afternoon, Qiao Qiao suddenly arrived at Qingmu Garden, much to Su Hongxing’s surprise.

Qiao Qiao looked troubled, as if she wanted to say something but was holding back.

“Su, I’m getting married,” Qiao Qiao muttered.

Surprised by Qiao Qiao’s declaration, Su Hongxing simply stood there for a moment before laughing, “Getting married is a good thing, congratulations. What’s this person like?”

She knew Qiao Qiao had long been nurturing a secret crush, but she didn’t know who the subject of this affection was. Everyone has secrets they’d rather not reveal, and Qiao Qiao was no exception.

Qiao Qiao took a deep breath, “The person I’m marrying is… is Ye Xiandong.”

“Young Master Ye Xiandong?!” Su Hongxing looked at Qiao Qiao in astonishment.

How did she get entangled with Ye Xiandong? It was clear that Ye Xiandong was a man of deep scheming, and marrying him was unlikely to bring happiness to Qiao Qiao.

“Are you sure you want to marry Ye Xiandong? Marriage is a big deal in life one cannot afford to be careless with. The Ye family and its men are complicated. I am the living example.”

Su Hongxing knew Qiao Qiao would not likely listen to her advice.

Even though Qiao Qiao hadn’t said much, Su Hongxing guessed that Ye Xiandong was the object of her quiet affection.

Otherwise, knowing the dangers ahead, Qiao Qiao would not stubbornly insist on marrying into the Ye family.

“Su, I am aware of everything, but I have no other choice. I just want you to hear about my wedding from me.”

Qiao Qiao moved forward and embraced Su Hongxing, “Su, I’m sorry.”

One day, Su Hongxing would find out about what she had done. By then, her best friend would surely not forgive her.

Had it not been for her meddling, Su Hongxing would not have experienced so much, nor would she have ended up with Ye Qilan.

It was her selfishness that led to Su Hongxing’s suffering.

“Why do you always say sorry to me?” Su Hongxing’s heart tightened.

It seemed like every time Qiao Qiao saw her, she would utter these three words.

“Sometimes I feel that if I’m unhappy after marrying Xiandong, it would be…” retribution!

In the end, Qiao Qiao didn’t utter the word “retribution.”

Even before marrying Ye Xiandong, she could already see her own ending.

Maybe this was just to give a closure to her numerous years of feelings, or maybe she was the type who wouldn’t give up until she hit a dead end. But she thought, without trying once, she would never be able to let go.

Ye Xiandong, that kind of man, wouldn’t truly love someone. If he could, it certainly wouldn’t be her.

Upon Qiao Qiao’s departure, Su Hongxing escorted her to the main entrance.

Prior to parting, the two embraced. Qiao Qiao was resolute and Su Hongxing could only offer her blessing.

Also having married into the Ye family, Su Hongxing hoped that Qiao Qiao’s romantic path would be smoother than her own.

That evening, when the upcoming union of the Ye and Qiao families was suddenly announced, Su Hongxing understood why Qiao Qiao had come all this way to tell her in person.

Qiao Qiao did not want her to find out about the news from the television or internet, hence the special trip.

Qiao Qiao once said they were lifelong friends.

The news of Ye Xiandong and Qiao Qiao’s impending marriage spread like wildfire. As Ye Qilan watched images of the seemingly perfect couple on the screen, a cold sneer touched his lips.

He knew that the old man had already started laying the groundwork ahead of him.

Descendants of the Ye family had to bow to the interests of the family. There were no exceptions.

Otherwise, they end up like him.

“Sir, it’s not too late to regret it now, as long as you send Miss Su away!” Age, who was following behind Ye Qilan, still wanted to persuade him.

The point was, there was no point in keeping Su Hongxing here. She didn’t want to stay, nor was it likely she would give Ye Qilan another chance.
