The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife - Chapter 326

Chapter 326: We Used to be So Happy
Lin Xiao Feng sat alone at a table not too far away from his wife. His eyes were on An Nuan all the time.

A while ago, An Nuan told him that she had a few things that she wanted to say to Pei Zhi Yi.

Lin Xiao Feng hesitated briefly before letting her talk to her ex.

An Nuan and Pei Zhi Yi parted not on a good term.

After months of separation, perhaps Pei Zhi Yi had calmed down. Now that An Nuan could talk to him properly, she wanted to make a clean break with Pei Zhi Yi.

As long as An Nuan was within his eyesight, Lin Xiao Feng could be at ease. He was worried that Pei Zhi Yi would suddenly turn aggressive and harm An Nuan.

Lin Xiao Feng was not too happy to let An Nuan and her ex meet again, but he wanted to let An Nuan know he trusted her. An Nuan had trusted him when his former secretary tried to slender his image. This time, he wanted to do the same.

Lin Xiao Feng could see that An Nuan’s feelings towards him had grown.

One meeting with Pei Zhi Yi won’t make An Nuan change her mind.

…

An Nuan stared at her steaming cup of coffee while watching Pei Zhi Yi from the corner of her eyes.

The two of them have been silent ever since the waiter delivered their coffee.

An Nuan wanted to let Pei Zhi Yi speak first but the man continued to stay in silence. It was starting to make An Nuan annoyed.

“Nuan Nuan.”

Pei Zhi Yi finally spoke after staying quiet for a long time. “I did not expect to see you here.”

“My husband had to attend a seminar and I’m here to accompany him.”

Pei Zhi Yi felt uncomfortable hearing An Nuan referring Lin Xiao Feng as her husband.

The one who should be An Nuan’s husband was him. But now, An Nuan had someone else as her husband.

Pei Zhi Yi did not understand how this thing happened.

They used to be so happy. How did everything change?

His gaze shifted to Lin Xiao Feng who was seated not too far from them. He could sense Lin Xiao Feng’s unfriendly gaze from afar. He suddenly had an urge to do something to An Nuan just to see how Lin Xiao Feng would react. But then, Pei Zhi Yi knew that An Nuan would only leave if he tried to do anything.

Right now, he needed some to talk to her.

“Are you happy with him?” Pei Zhi Yi asked.

“Yes.” An Nuan did not hesitate. “I’m happy. Pei Zhi Yi, I love him.”

There was a hint of surprise on Pei Zhi Yi’s face. His expression then turned to pain. Pei Zhi Yi did not expect to hear An Nuan telling him that she loved that man.

He quickly realized that he shouldn’t be too surprised. After all, he had seen An Nuan and Lin Xiao Feng kissing earlier. He hated to admit that they looked good together.

“You moved on too fast,” Pei Zhi Yi said.

“You think so?” An Nuan chuckled. “Pei Zhi Yi, it has been nine months. If I did not move on, do you expect me to wait for you?”

Pei Zhi Yi felt like it hadn’t been a long time since the day they were supposed to marry.

He remembered picking up An Nuan at her house. She was dressed prettily in her wedding dress.

But now, she had become someone else’s wife.

“Actually, I did not expect that I would move on this fast.” A faint smile appeared on An Nuan’s face. “But I guess, if you meet the right person, everything is possible.”

Pei Zhi Yi could not help glancing at Lin Xiao Feng again and wondered how did he make An Nuan like him that much. He lowered his gaze as he pondered over what happened between him and An Nuan.

“Nuan Nuan, we used to be so happy,” Pei Zhi Yi said. “We loved each other deeply. We are supposed to marry. I just don’t understand… How did everything change so fast?”

An Nuan looked at Pei Zhi Yi in disbelief. Until now, Pei Zhi Yi did not know what he had done wrong.

“Pei Zhi Yi, let’s not forget that you are the one who left on our wedding day,” An Nuan pointed out.

“Didn’t I tell you that it was an emergency?” Pei Zhi Yi countered. “Something happened to Jiao Jiao. I can’t just ignore her.”

“Pei Zhi Yi, it was our wedding day.” Her eyes grew sharper. “If something happened to Sun Jiao, you can always ask someone else to go. You don’t leave me on our wedding day. Do you know how it feels to stand there and watch someone you’re about to marry go to another woman?”

“But Jiao Jiao is not another woman,” Pei Zhi Yi said. “Nuan Nuan, you know that she is like a sister to me.”

An Nuan wanted to laugh. “Sometimes I wonder if you’re an idiot.”

Pei Zhi Yi frowned. He did not look too happy when An Nuan called him an idiot.

“Something happened to Sun Jiao, but why do you have to be the one to leave?” An Nuan asked. “If it was something serious, then why didn’t your parents leave to go to Sun Jiao as well?”

“You know that I am closer to Jiao Jiao.”

An Nuan chuckled. “I am not an unreasonable person. If it was a matter of life or death, I wouldn’t say anything. But Pei Zhi Yi, you left without giving me and everyone else an explanation. You told us something happened to Sun Jiao and left just like that. What do you expect me to think? In the end, I am not that important to you. I will never be your priority.”

“Nuan Nuan…” Pei Zhi Yi felt uncomfortable to hear An Nuan’s words. “You are always an important person to me.”

“Pei Zhi Yi, that was not the first time you left me for Sun Jiao,” An Nuan said. “How many times have you left me in the middle of our date because something happened to Sun Jiao. In the past, I could still ignore it and comfort myself, knowing that you considered Sun Jiao as a family member. But Pei Zhi Yi, I cannot tolerate it when you leave me on our wedding day.”

Pei Zhi Yi could not come up with an excuse.

“You have always considered Sun Jiao as your younger sister. But Pei Zhi Yi, have you ever thought that Sun Jiao might not think the same?”

Pei Zhi Yi looked surprised. “What do you mean?”
