Chương 2: She was Overreacting?
An Nuan gathered her skirts and rushed out of the room to look at the situation.
She refused to believe Wen Xi's words.
It was their wedding day.
There was no way that Pei Zhi Yi would choose to leave at this time.
Her steps halted as she reached the elevator. An Nuan's heart sunk the moment she saw Pei Zhi Yi's figure in front of the elevator.
The elevator's door was wide open.
His parents were holding his arms, preventing him from leaving while Pei Zhi Yi struggled to remove their grip around his arms.
"Mom, Dad, just give me five minutes. No. Ten minutes." Pei Zhi Yi struggled. "I will come back as soon as I can."
"This is your wedding day," Father Pei spoke through his gritted teeth. "You cannot leave."
"Dad. Jiao Jiao is in danger. She needs me."
An Nuan's face turned pale as she heard the name coming from her fiance's lips. Her legs turned wobbly. An Nuan took a step forward with her shaky legs. "Pei Zhi Yi."
The commotion in front of the elevator stopped. The Pei family members were stunned to see An Nuan in front of them.
They had tried hard to keep this matter a secret from her. Unexpectedly, An Nuan came out and witnessed this mess.
"Nuan Nuan..." Mrs. Pei walked over to her daughter-in-law, wanting to explain. However, she realized that she did not know how she should explain the situation to An Nuan.
"You're here." Pei Zhi Yi stood up straight. "Nuan Nuan, help me to speak some sense into them."
"You..."An Nuan gripped her skirt a little tighter. "What's going on? Zhi Yi, what are you doing?" She pretended as if she had not heard their conversation earlier.
"I can't explain now. An Nuan, I just need to step away for a while.," Pei Zhi Yi said. He glanced at the phone in his hand a few times. Pei Zhi Yi grew anxious as his father was holding his arm tightly.
"Whatever it is that you need to do, you have to wait until the wedding is over!" Mr. Pei reminded his son. "The guests are all here. If you leave now, what are we supposed to tell them later?"
"But Dad, Jiao Jiao..."
"Don't say that name again!" Mr. Pei whispered angrily.
Mrs. Pei glanced at her daughter-in-law anxiously, wondering how would An Nuan react when she heard Sun Jiao's name.
She walked over to An Nuan's side, wanting to coax her. "Nuan Nuan, don't be angry. Zhi Yi is just worried about Jiao Jiao's health. You know that Jiao Jiao is like Zhi Yi's younger sister."
Younger sister...
Pei Zhi Yi might consider Sun Jiao as his younger sister. However, Sun Jiao would never consider Pei Zhi Yi as her elder brother.
The Pei family took Sun Jiao into their care when her parents passed away. Sun Jiao grew up with Pei Zhi Yi in the household.
The first time An Nuan met Sun Jiao, Pei Zhi Yi introduced that girl as his younger sister. However, An Nuan had always felt that the way Sun Jiao looked at Pei Zhi Yi was a little strange.
Her instinct was telling her that Sun Jiao did not view Pei Zhi Yi as her elder brother.
Sun Jiao wanted to be more than a little sister to Pei Zhi Yi.
This was not the first time that Pei Zhi Yi chose to leave for Sun Jiao. In the past, Pei Zhi Yi had left her side because Sun Jiao was in trouble.
She thought that she should give up on this man. But An Nuan thought that Pei Zhi Yi would change now that they would be married.
The light in An Nuan's eyes faded. This time, she could not pretend as if she did not understand what was going on.
"That Jiao Jiao..." Mrs. Pei mumbled. "What is she doing, calling Zhi Yi to meet her at a time like this? She should know that today is Zhi Yi's wedding."
"Pei Zhi Yi, are you leaving our wedding for Sun Jiao?" An Nuan's voice trembled slightly.
Pei Zhi Yi frowned. "I'm going to step out for a while. An Nuan, I promise that I will be back before the wedding ceremony starts." He peeled off his father's hand from his arm and stepped into the elevator.
"Pei Zhi Yi, the moment you step into the elevator, it's over between us."
Mrs. Pei could not hide her shock. She did not expect that An Nuan would threaten to break up with her son because of Sun Jiao.
"Nuan Nuan..." Mrs. Pei held An Nuan's arms again, wanting to coax her. "Think properly. Don't make a decision when you are angry. You are going to regret it."
An Nuan ignored the woman beside her. "Pei Zhi Yi, would you still leave?" She looked straight into Pei Zhi Yi's eyes, daring him to make his move.
"An Nuan, don't be like this," Pei Zhi Yi spoke. There was a trace of helplessness in his voice. "You're overreacting. It's not like I'm canceling this wedding. I'm just going to see Jiao Jiao for a while. She's in trouble."
Her lips trembled.
She was overreacting?
Her fiance was going to leave for another woman on their wedding day...
She was overreacting?
"Just stay here for a while." Pei Zhi Yi spoke. There was a trace of annoyance in his eyes. "I promise you... I will come back before the wedding."
Without waiting for An Nuan to reply, Pei Zhi Yi walked into the elevator and pressed the button urgently.
"Zhi Yi!" Mr. Pei called his son. "You are not leaving!"
"Dad, you and Mom should stay here and calm our guests. I will come back soon."
An Nuan pursed her lips tightly as she watched the elevator door close until she could no longer see Pei Zhi Yi's figure.
In the end, Pei Zhi Yi chose Sun Jiao over her.
An Nuan closed her eyes as she tried to compose her emotions.
Her heart broke into a thousand pieces. It felt as if something within her had died.
