Ning Shuangshuang also disliked Chu Qingyue. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but become more friendly towards Jiao Qinqin. “Our Ning family doesn’t like her either, but since my cousin likes her, there’s nothing I can do.”

“Yuting is just momentarily bewitched,” Jiao Qinqin firmly held Ning Shuangshuang’s hand. “Do you have a way to stop this marriage?”

“This…” Ning Shuangshuang was troubled. “The wedding is tomorrow, how can I stop it?”

“Yes, the wedding is tomorrow.” Jiao Qinqin was so regretful that she started crying. “Shuangshuang, I regret it so much. I shouldn’t have married someone else. Shuangshuang, what should I do?”

Seeing Jiao Qinqin crying so sadly, Ning Shuangshuang felt pity. “Have you talked to my cousin? What does he say?”

Jiao Qinqin’s tears fell like rain. “I tried, but he drove me away.”

Ning Shuangshuang sympathetically said, “My cousin went too far. How could he treat you like this?”

“Yes, Yuting must have been bewitched; otherwise, he wouldn’t treat me like this. Shuangshuang, please help me think of a way. After tomorrow, there will be no turning back.”

“What do you want to do?”

“I want to stop this wedding. I don’t want Yuting to marry Chu Qingyue. Yuting is mine.”

Ning Shuangshuang hesitated, “But you’re already married.”

“I can get a divorce. Yuting and I are childhood sweethearts. He must be angry that I abandoned him, that’s why he’s marrying someone else. I can’t just watch him act rashly and regret it for the rest of his life.”

“I think my cousin isn’t just acting on a whim; he seems quite earnest.”

Everything at home, from the wedding invitations hand-written by Ning Yuting, to the decoration of the wedding hall and the house, all were done by him, not resembling the actions of someone acting on a whim.

Jiao Qinqin urgently said, “He’s just pretending. Men are proud. He definitely wouldn’t let me know that he still can’t forget me. Shuangshuang, please help me. Can you?”

“How can 1 help you?”

“Help me invite Yuting out for dinner. I’ve booked a private room at Tainan Restaurant. Bring him there, and I’ll talk to him properly.”

Ning Shuangshuang hesitated, still vividly remembering the scene when Ning Yuting warned her last time. “I…”

Jiao Qinqin anxiously grabbed Ning Shuangshuang’s hand, pleading, “You’re the only one who can help me now, Shuangshuang, please.”

Ning Shuangshuang thought to herself, between Jiao Qinqin and Chu Qingyue, she still preferred Jiao Qinqin as her sister-in-law. So she decided to help Jiao Qinqin. “Alright, I’ll help you, but don’t say it was me.”

Jiao Qinqin nodded vigorously, “I know, I’ll keep it a secret.”

“I’ll think of a way. Wait for my good news.”

“Ok.”

As soon as Ning Shuangshuang left, Jiao Qinqin immediately dried her tears and smirked triumphantly. Chu Qingyue, you and Yuting are destined to be from two different worlds.

In the corridor, the maid Chunli handed a letter to Ning Yuting. “Young master, this is a letter from Miss Qingyue for you.”

Ning Yuting instinctively felt something was amiss. The wedding was tomorrow, so why would Qingyue send him a letter today? If there was something important, wouldn’t it be better for the maid to just come back and tell him?

With doubts, he opened the letter, “Yuting, I’ve booked a private room at Tainan Restaurant. Let’s have dinner together, just the two of us.”

It turned out to be an invitation for dinner.

Before getting married, it was not customary for men and women to meet casually, so Ning Yuting rationalized the secretive nature of the letter and decided to accept the invitation.

In the afternoon, at the city gate.

Chu Xuyao stood atop the carriage, looking towards the city gates, when suddenly he pointed ahead and shouted, “The merchant convoy has arrived!”

Chu Qingzhi had arranged for Chu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue to travel to the capital with the Ning family’s merchant convoy for safety. Now that the convoy had arrived, they must be here as well.

Everyone headed towards the city gate.

Riding on a horse, Chu Xuhua, sitting high on the horseback, immediately spotted his parents, “Father, Mother…”

Shen Ruyue opened the curtain of the carriage, “Father, Mother…”

Li Qingyu waved her hand happily, “Ruyue.”

The family finally reunited and after catching up, they headed towards the Chu residence.

Chu Xuhua and Shen Ruyue visited the Chu Residence right away and liked it very much.

Chu Xuhua exclaimed, “This house is nice!”

Shen Ruyue nodded in agreement, “The building is sturdy, the layout grand, and the landscape exquisite. It’s befitting a wealthy family.”

Worried that Shen Ruyue might feel unhappy about the lavish dowry Chu Qingyue received, Li Qingyu quickly said, “If Ruyue likes it, we can buy a similar one in the county town and renovate it like this one. How about that?”

Shen Ruyue was so smart. How could she not understand what Li Qingyu meant? She was not jealous of Chu Qingyue. “Mother, there’s no need. I still prefer the house at home.”

Li Qingyu smiled and patted Shen Ruyue’s hand, “As you wish, Mother supports you.”

Shen Ruyue smiled and nodded, “Thank you, Mother.”

Tainan restaurant.

Ning Yuting changed into a decent set of clothes and took a carriage to Tainan restaurant.

The waiter greeted him warmly, “Young Master Ning, the young lady has already arrived. Please follow me.”

Thinking of Chu Qingyue, Ning Yuting felt a bit nervous. He adjusted his clothes and followed the waiter to the upstairs private room.

The waiter opened the door, “Young Master Ning, please.”

The room was specially decorated, with flowers, fine wine, colorful silk curtains fluttering in the wind, and a table of delicious food.

Ning Yuting entered the room, sensing something was off. This wasn’t Chu Qingyue’s style!

He stood at the door, hesitant to enter.

Then, behind the silk curtains, a figure appeared, and the music of a huqin started playing, creating an exotic atmosphere.

The figure, with a graceful and soft body, danced to the fast-paced melody, with crisp and rhythmic moves. It was very beautiful.

At this point, Ning Yuting was sure that the other party was not Chu Qingyue.

He frowned. Who was using Qingyue’s name to ask him to meet?

He looked in the direction of the gauze curtain, his gaze darkening.

After thinking for a moment, he walked forward step by step towards the back of the gauze curtain…

A woman in a red dress was wearing a veil and had seductive eyes. She held her hips and twisted her delicate body as she danced in a unique foreign dance.

Upon seeing who it was, Ning Yuting frowned deeply and turned to leave.

Just then, the sound of a door closing was heard, and Jiao Qinqin appeared in front of Ning Yuting. She twisted her body close to Ning Yuting and asked expectantly, “Yuting, this is a special dance I prepared for you. Do you like it?”

“Not at all.” Ning Yuting said coldly, stepping away from Jiao Qinqin and continuing to walk out.

Jiao Qinqin reached out to grab Ning Yuting’s hand, stepping in front of him, “Yuting, can’t you be less heartless?”

Ning Yuting was angry, “Can’t you be less shameless?”

Hearing Ning Yuting call her shameless, Jiao Qinqin felt as if she had been doused in cold water, completely chilled to the core, looking at him, not knowing how to react..
