“Xiao Jian, we have three more days to the wedding and this heart of mine… just keeps thumping. I don’t know if life after marrying Uncle Ge will be delightful…”
Qin Yirou held Yun Jian’s hand as her heart thumped anxiously.
A regular woman typically had slight pre-wedding jitters but the symptoms were less obvious with some people.
People were normally anxious at the eve of their wedding, more or less of it stemming from fear. Some more severe cases had gamophobia, the fear of commitment.
Qin Yirou had gone through a failed marriage, so it was not unusual that she had such thoughts now.
“Mom, Uncle Ge is sincere in his feelings for you. Right now, you don’t have to worry about anything. What you should do the most is to get a good sleep. I’ll take care of everything else.” Yun Jian patted Qin Yirou’s palm to comfort her, pressing her lips together in a light smile.
“I’ve sent all the invitations out, so you should get as much rest as you can and just put on the wedding dress prettily on May 21st, mom.”
Yun Jian had already completed all the tasks and her words calmed Qin Yirou’s anxiety down instantly.
“Oh, Yirou, Officer Ge is a good man. Just trust my judgement!” Dong Ruan who heard Qin Yirou and Yun Jian’s conversation entered through the door.
The woman was a high ranking official and was usually busy, but since Qin Yirou was getting married in a few days, she had put all her work aside and taken a week’s leave with the plan of accompanying the latter through the process.
She could not do much for Qin Yirou when the latter dropped out of high school in the past. Now that Qin Yirou finally found her happiness, Dong Ruan thought that as her friend, she should stay by her side.
It was not too late to make up for what she did not have the opportunity to do in the past! This time, she wanted her best friend who had gone through youth to middle age with her to get married gloriously!
Why, though, was she feeling a bit reluctant when Qin Yirou was getting married? It was not like it was to a jerk like Yun Gang. Swallowing her possessiveness over her friend, Dong Ruan went to hug Qin Yirou.
“Yirou, I’ll make sure to break Ge Junjian’s leg if you’re unhappy in the marriage!” After decades, Dong Ruan finally said her thought out loud.
Although she sounded a little extreme, Qin Yirou knew that Dong Ruan would not actually break her husband-to-be’s leg. She was saying it to express how important her happiness was to her.
Even if the world was crumbling, there would always be someone like this supporting you silently at the back. She was not your family nor your birth parents but she cared for you from the bottom of her heart.
Friends for decades, their bond would last for life. This was a friendship that they could bring into their resting place with.
Watching Dong Ruan and Qin Yirou, Yun Jian cracked a smile.
It was during then that her phone rang—way to spoil the mood with an incoming call…
Yun Jian cut the call first and left the room, closing the door behind her on her way out. She then fished out her phone again to call the number back. As she did, she made her way downstairs in her flat canvas shoes.
The call connected when she was halfway down the stairs.
“Sister Jian, I’m Diane. We’re here in Longmen City. Where are you?” The voice of the intelligence department leader in Gu Sha Mercenaries, Diane, sounded from the other end of the line.
The higher-ups of Gu Sha Mercenaries had all switched to addressing Yun Jian as Sister Jian.
