At Love's End, I Won't Look Back

On the day we were supposed to register our marriage, Xie Xinghe suddenly asked to put his aunt's child under my name. "My aunt got pregnant before marriage, and it would hurt her reputation. If the child is registered under your name, we can treat it as ours." When I refused, Xie Xinghe laid down an ultimatum: "We won't register our marriage until you agree." Then he abandoned me at the civil affairs bureau and walked away without hesitation. This was the ninth time our marriage registration had fallen through because of his aunt. Did he think I would wait for him like I always had? A post popped up on my social media: [The girl I love most is about to register her marriage to someone else. I'm heartbroken, heartbroken!] It was from my childhood friend, who had been pursuing me for five years. I sent him a message: "Want to get married? Meet me at the civil affairs bureau. Now."
