They'd only just met, and now they were getting married? That was ridiculous. But I'd heard it was a business marriage arranged by their families, so I guess it wasn't that surprising.
The bride was my good friend Xu Zhaozhao. She was twenty-eight and already beautiful, but today, in that white gown with a few delicate flowers in her hair and her elegant makeup, she looked so radiant I couldn't help wanting to look at her again and again.
Zhaozhao is an architect. She studied and worked in Rome for years, only returning to China six months ago. I heard she had someone she liked in Rome. I'd introduced her to plenty of good men before, but she'd turned them all down.
Honestly, I really didn't know why she'd agreed to marry Zhou Yanbai. Her family had always let her choose who she dated.
Zhou Yanbai is a famous, eligible bachelor in our circle. I looked into him, and he really is single. But they say he's still carrying a torch for his first love of ten years. Just look at that bracelet on his wrist. It's a token of his love with her.
He's wearing it on his wedding day, too. It's disgusting.
Everyone says he's cold, restrained, aloof, and hard to approach, and they're not wrong. Look at how coldly he's treating our lovely Zhaozhao. It doesn't matter how handsome he is.
My family once suggested that I marry him, too? Absolutely not! I would never marry a man who's thinking about someone else, no matter how rich he is.
Still, I truly feel bad for Zhaozhao. I hope she won't end up as a substitute.
Wait!
Why do they seem to be exchanging flirtatious glances? And why is Zhaozhao smiling so brightly? She doesn't look forced into this at all...
My sixth sense tells me there's more to these two than meets the eye. I'd better interrogate Zhaozhao about it!
