My 26-Year-Old Female Tenant

Chapter 19 – Castle in the Sky

Jian Wei exchanged a look with Xiang Chen, her expression unreadable. Xiang Chen took out an exquisitely prepared gift box from his pocket and opened it. Inside was a necklace with a crystal pendant encrusted with diamonds.

The lighting technician turned off the lights in the hall and used a spotlight to highlight Xiang Chen and Jian Wei. They looked radiant, while I felt invisible in the darkness.

"This crystal diamond necklace was designed by the best jewelry designer in the country. There is only one in the world. I named it... Devotion. It represents my sincerest and purest love for you, just like diamonds and crystals. Give me a chance to put it on for you... please?"

I wanted to tell Xiang Chen that he was wrong. Anyone with money can buy a crystal diamond necklace for a woman, but the sincerity and purity that come from love are heartfelt and do not require any material possessions.

But how many women would believe such a pure truth? The brilliance of the diamonds had already dazzled their eyes.

I didn't argue with Xiang Chen. I just kept shrinking the fortress in my heart, making it smaller and smaller...

Find the original at " ".

Everyone present was moved by Xiang Chen's gesture, and they applauded to encourage Jian Wei to accept his confession.

Jian Wei glanced towards a dark corner and finally nodded in silence. The applause and cheers grew louder as Xiang Chen excitedly put the necklace on Jian Wei. In that moment, a couple found love at Circle and Yan Yan's wedding, adding to the joy!

At this moment, no one except me remembered the rainy dusk when we promised to take a series of wedding photos with the theme "Silent Joy."

...

The wedding banquet was coming to an end amidst the excitement of the crowd. The guests who attended the wedding bid farewell to each other, and I walked alone towards the hotel entrance with unsteady steps.

The sunlight outside the hotel was beautiful, but it was too bright for me to open my eyes. I leaned against a pillar and squinted, looking at the blue sky and white clouds. In my drunken dizziness, I seemed to see the fortress in my heart flying up into the sky with the floating air, merging with the blue sky and white clouds, gradually becoming crystal clear, without a trace of loneliness and pain!

Yan Yan and Circle, both in wedding attire, supported me as I swayed.

Yan Yan apologized to me, "Zhao Yang, we really didn't know that Xiang Chen would confess to Jian Wei at our wedding... I'm sure you're not feeling well. I'm sorry!"

"Haha... I'm not sad, why would I be sad?... By the way, did you... did you see the fortress in my heart flying into the sky, shining inside the sunlight..." I said incoherently, then took out the transparent film from the cigarette box and covered my eyes,

We both looked at the river surface, and after a while, Mi Cai answered my question: "I came to see if you were dead."

"What do you mean, dead?" I asked in confusion, having already forgotten about the call I made to Mi Cai before I passed out.

"So you're lying to me again, aren't you?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" I exclaimed.

Mi Cai patiently said to me: "You called me at noon and said you wanted to jump into the river. If you have any doubts, you can check your call history on your phone."

"Let me check." I said, starting to feel my pockets.

"Huh! Where's my phone?"

Looking at the river again, I finally remembered that in a fit of impulse, I had thrown my phone into the moat. With that, my memory was unlocked, and I remembered that I did indeed call Mi Cai at noon like a madman, saying I wanted to jump into the moat......

I apologized to Mi Cai a bit guiltily: "I'm sorry, I drank too much at noon and was talking nonsense. I really wasn't trying to deceive you."

"Scumbag, deceitful liar!" Mi Cai cursed without mercy.

"Can you stop cursing me like that?" I paused and then said, "It's just jumping into the river, right? I can make it up to you now, it's not too late, is it?"

"Go ahead and jump." Mi Cai said to me, looking at the river.

"Jump it is." I said, walking towards the river, and jumped onto the railing by the river.
