Marrying the Wrong Mr. Right

Chapter 21: The Sound Outside the Door

Chu Yannan suddenly spoke up, 'Grandpa, we came today to introduce you to Yanbin's future daughter-in-law. If you have no objections, Lianghan and I plan to organize a wedding for the two children.' 'Oh, is that so?' Chu Chengbi said, looking at Shen Yujin beside Ye Yanbin. Seeing the old man's gaze shift towards her, Shen Yujin immediately approached him happily, 'Great-grandpa, hello, I am Shen Yujin, you can call me Yujin.' 'Yujin,' Chu Chengbi said, seriously observing Shen Yujin. Shen Yujin continued, 'Yes, great-grandpa, if I marry Yanbin, then we will be even closer, because I am also Ningxuan's sister, and my father is Shen Shihui, the president of Shen Corporation.' 'Oh, really?' Chu Chengbi clearly felt a bit surprised, his gaze turning to Shen Ningxuan, 'Ningxuan, she is your sister?' Shen Ningxuan spoke up, 'Yes, grandpa, she is my sister.' 'Hehe, the Shen family and our family really have fate,' Chu Chengbi said with a smile. 'Then grandpa,' Chu Yannan looked at the old man, 'do you agree?' All eyes in the living room turned to the old man; as long as he nodded, the matter would be settled, and even if Ye Yanbin resisted, it would be meaningless. Shen Yujin nervously watched the old man; his decision would determine her future. Chu Chengbi did not directly answer but turned his gaze to Chu Haoxuan, smiling and saying, 'Haoxuan, what do you think? If you think there is no problem, then let's settle this matter.'

Everyone couldn't believe that the old master had actually handed over the decision-making power to Chu Haoxuan. Shen Yujin suddenly became nervous. The person who could decide whether she could stay in the Ye family was no longer the old master, but Chu Haoxuan. She knew Chu Haoxuan's way of doing things, and now she didn't have much chance of marrying into the Ye family. Chu Haoxuan was not caught off guard by this sudden dominance, but calmly looked at Shen Ningxuan in his arms and asked affectionately, 'Wife, do you think we should agree to this marriage?' It was another astonishing scene. Ye Yanbin, who had been holding back, couldn't help himself any longer. He hurried over to Shen Ningxuan, looked at her eagerly and said, 'Ning'er,' but the words that followed were unspeakable, and he could only shake his head to signal Shen Ningxuan. Shen Ningxuan understood in her heart. Ye Yanbin's pained expression clearly showed that he didn't want to marry Shen Yujin. His eyes were full of anxiety, as if it were a fire pit, and once someone pushed him in, he would fall into the flames. Seeing this situation, Shen Yujin suddenly walked in front of Shen Ningxuan, blocking the space between Shen Ningxuan and Ye Yanbin. With a forced smile, she looked at Shen Ningxuan and said awkwardly, 'Ningxuan, you won't stand in the way of your sister's happiness, will you?' As she spoke, Shen Yujin suddenly grabbed Shen Ningxuan's hand. Shen Ningxuan shuddered at Shen Yujin's action and looked at her without saying a word. Chu Haoxuan clearly felt Shen Ningxuan's body tremble and immediately said to Shen Yujin, 'Let her go.'

Chu Haoxuan's hateful gaze frightened Shen Yujin into letting go. The whole scene was in a stalemate, and Shen Yujin didn't know what to do anymore. She thought to herself that Shen Ningxuan must hate her thoroughly, and since Ye Yanbin was the person Shen Ningxuan loved the most, how could she let Ye Yanbin marry her? After a long while, Shen Ningxuan politely looked at the old master and said, 'Grandpa, my sister is now the vice president of Shen Corporation, and she is capable in her work. You have seen her appearance, she is definitely a good match for Yanbin. Moreover, Yanbin and my sister,' Shen Ningxuan paused for a moment, then continued, 'they should have been dating for a long time, don't you think they can be separated?' Shen Ningxuan's question actually gave the old master a better answer, even Chu Haoxuan beside her looked at the woman in his arms in surprise. She really knew how to speak, expressing her meaning with a whole bunch of words, making the outcome seem even more credible. 'Good, good,' Chu Chengbi smiled ear to ear, 'then let's settle this matter, Yannan, Lianghan, pick a good day to organize Yanbin's wedding.' 'Okay, Grandpa,' Chu Yannan replied happily. 'But,' Ye Yanbin wanted to say something, yet before he could speak, he was stopped by Shen Yujin. Chu Haoxuan leaned on Shen Ningxuan's shoulder and said affectionately, 'I didn't expect you to be able to bring them together.' Shen Ningxuan slightly turned her head, 'I want to let them go, and even more, I want to let myself go.'

Two weeks later, the wedding was held as scheduled. Shen Yujin happily wore her wedding dress and spent the happiest day of her life, while Qiao Yuzhen was so joyful that she had forgotten what smiling was. Her daughter was able to marry into the Ye family, to marry the deputy governor, which was already the happiest thing.

Standing in a concealed spot, Shen Ningxuan watched as the bride and groom, not far away, happily held hands and walked towards the wedding stage. Tears finally uncontrollably flowed from Shen Ningxuan's eyes.

Once, he was the man she loved the most. His kindness to her was something she could never forget in her lifetime. She was her sister, and even though she had bullied her since childhood, she didn't care. However, when she stole the man she loved the most, her hatred for her sister erupted all at once. Moreover, even if he had made a mistake, her pursuit of perfection would not forgive him. A mistake was a mistake, and once missed, it was missed; there was no going back.

On this painful day, at this glaring moment, she still witnessed it with her own eyes, so dazzling that the light made her eyes hurt.

Not far away, every move of Shen Ningxuan was seen by Chu Haoxuan. Chu Haoxuan watched Shen Ningxuan's back seriously, seeing her slightly trembling shoulders, his heart felt as if it was being cut with a knife. She, after all, still couldn't let go of that man.

Life continued as usual. Since Shen Yujin and Ye Yanbin got married, Shen Ningxuan no longer went to work at Shen Corporation, focusing on being a military wife at home, occasionally serving Chu Haoxuan. When she had nothing to do, she would go to the bar to find Xia Lingwei, have a few drinks, and the two would stroll around the pedestrian street, living a leisurely and relaxed life.

When Chu Haoxuan had no duties in the army, he usually went home to stay because this woman at home had already captured his heart. Not seeing this woman for a minute made him feel as if he had lost something, feeling very uncomfortable.

In the morning, Shen Ningxuan woke up naturally and opened her eyes to find Chu Haoxuan still sleeping beside her.

Shen Ningxuan glanced at the clock on the wall and hurriedly woke Chu Haoxuan up, 'Get up, get up, aren't you going to the army today?'

“Don't make noise, I want to sleep a little longer,” Chu Haoxuan murmured in a drowsy voice. Upon hearing this, Shen Ningxuan knew that Chu Haoxuan didn't have to go to the troops today; otherwise, how could this always disciplined superior sleep in? Shen Ningxuan slowly got out of bed, planning to make a rich breakfast for Chu Haoxuan. When Chu Haoxuan opened his eyes and saw that the place beside him was already empty, a surge of anger instantly rose in his heart. Where the hell did this damned woman go? Chu Haoxuan walked out of the bedroom, and the aroma that hit him made him smile instantly. The food this woman made was always so fragrant. Chu Haoxuan went downstairs and entered the kitchen, seeing Shen Ningxuan still standing there simmering porridge. He walked over and hugged her from behind. Smelling Chu Haoxuan's scent, Shen Ningxuan said without turning her head, “Awake?” “Yeah, why did you get up so early?” Chu Haoxuan whispered in Shen Ningxuan's ear. “I couldn't sleep, so I got up. Go brush your teeth and wash your face quickly, we'll eat in a bit,” Shen Ningxuan said, like a housewife. Chu Haoxuan kissed Shen Ningxuan's cheek and said, “Okay.”

After speaking, Chu Haoxuan let go of Shen Ningxuan and turned to leave. Shen Ningxuan shook her head helplessly, a blissful smile appearing on the corner of her mouth. Although there was no deep and unforgettable love, she still enjoyed such plain happiness. In the afternoon, Shen Ningxuan sat on the sofa watching TV, while Chu Haoxuan was in the study reading some military books. Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and upon opening the door, Shen Ningxuan saw it was Lu Yu. 'Sister-in-law, hello,' Lu Yu greeted Shen Ningxuan anxiously, then continued, 'Is Haoxuan at home?' 'Yes,' Shen Ningxuan looked at Lu Yu's anxious appearance, 'Do you need to find him for something urgent?' Lu Yu glanced at Shen Ningxuan and nodded with difficulty. 'Come in, he's in the study,' Shen Ningxuan said. 'Okay,' Lu Yu went in, heading straight for the study. Shen Ningxuan closed the door, intending to continue sitting in the living room watching TV, but feeling that it was impolite to sit still with Lu Yu visiting, she decided to bring a glass of water to the study. Shen Ningxuan brewed two cups of tea and carried them towards the study. Just as she reached the door of the study, before she could knock, she heard the two of them talking inside with somewhat stiff tones. Out of curiosity, Shen Ningxuan stood at the door of the study, wanting to listen to what they were saying inside. 'Haoxuan, what do you think we should do now?' Lu Yu's tone was a bit anxious. 'Where is she now?'

Chu Haoxuan's voice sounded a bit nervous. "At a friend's house," Lu Yu said, and then hurriedly added, "She doesn't know you're married yet. If she finds out, she probably will..." Lu Yu didn't finish his sentence; he knew that Chu Haoxuan understood what he meant. Chu Haoxuan didn't respond, just sat quietly, not saying a word. "Haoxuan, say something, will you? He Xuyan is the woman you love the most. You've grown up together since you were a child. Now that she's back, you can't just not see her, can you? Haven't you been looking for her all these years?" Lu Yu's voice sounded a bit reproachful towards Chu Haoxuan. Shen Ningxuan outside the door was already stunned. He Xuyan? The woman Chu Haoxuan loved the most? He had been looking for her all these years? Shen Ningxuan suddenly felt her mind in chaos. He actually had someone he cared about. Then why did he marry herself in the first place? Shen Ningxuan couldn't listen to what they were saying anymore. She couldn't control her emotions either. Why did she care so much? She had no feelings for Chu Haoxuan, but she cared so much about that woman, the woman named He Xuyan. Shen Ningxuan felt a wave of weakness, her hand loosened, and the plate in her hand instantly fell to the ground. The sound of breaking glass shocked Chu Haoxuan and Lu Yu in the study. Chu Haoxuan exchanged a glance with Lu Yu and immediately realized what had happened. Shen Ningxuan must be outside the door, so she must have heard their conversation just now.
