Three days before our wedding, the young woman Lu Wenzhou had been keeping on the side was exposed. To spare her the blame of being called his "new love," Lu Wenzhou suggested that we pretend to break up.
"Her father died saving my life. I can't just abandon her."
"Once this blows over, you'll still be my fiancée, and we can still have the wedding."
Over the years, this wasn't the first time I'd stepped aside for Ning Xi. This time, I could do it too.
Only not temporarily. This time, I'd step aside forever.
