Stars In His Eyes-Chapter 1707: Her Whole World Is Only You 40

No one knows, for Lan Li, watching Ding Jinshi wear a wedding dress and marry another man was an indescribable pain.

Ding Jinshi and Ding Long got engaged, and he couldn’t calm his restless heart for a whole night. Back then, when he hurt Ding Jinshi, wasn’t he also riddled with holes?

He originally wanted to make up for the regrets he had towards the Gu Family, but even though he satisfied Gu En, he still ended up hurting Ding Jinshi.

"Jinshi, all these years, I missed you, and when I couldn’t see you, I missed you even more. After you came back, and I saw you, I missed you even more. I originally thought I could persuade myself to watch you marry Ding Long, thinking that as long as Ding Long could make you happy, I could eventually let you go from my heart. But it’s hard, really hard. What I want more is to personally give you happiness, and I want you to marry me, to become my wife, Lan Li’s wife. Jinshi, I hurt you, I missed you for so many years, are you still willing to give me a chance to make it up to you? Are you willing to leave with me? To leave this place, to turn away from this wedding, and leave the rest to me. No one will say a word against you, and no one will blame you, trust me."

Outside the door, the makeup artist couldn’t hear what the two people inside were saying, but after waiting for two minutes without seeing them come out, she turned around and headed towards the banquet hall.

In the banquet hall, Ding Long was happily chatting with people. When he noticed the makeup artist coming over alone, his expression slightly changed, and seeing her motioning for him to come over, he walked towards her and asked, "Why are you alone?"

The makeup artist hesitated, then whispered something in Ding Long’s ear.

As soon as the makeup artist finished speaking, Ding Long’s face changed dramatically, and he quickly left the banquet hall.

Fortunately, everyone was drinking and chatting, so no one noticed the change in Ding Long’s expression. When they saw him heading to the back makeup room, they assumed he was going to see the bride.

In the makeup room, Ding Jinshi had already burst into tears. Lan Li held her hand tighter and tighter, his palms slightly sweaty, from nervousness and a bit of fear.

Ding Jinshi, with tear-filled eyes, looked at the man in front of her whom she had loved so deeply and hated so deeply.

She had imagined many times that one day Lan Li would appear before her and tell her everything was alright again. She had fantasized about this moment even in her dreams, and now, suddenly, it had become real.

Ding Jinshi looked at Lan Li, biting her lip, finally gently shaking her head as she withdrew her hand inch by inch from his grasp.

Her voice trembled slightly, "Lan Li, you’re too selfish. Back then, you gave up on me with not even a word of explanation, and now you ask me to give you a chance, but did you ever give me a chance back then?"

"I was wrong; I made a huge mistake back then. In this lifetime, I made two big mistakes: one was being immature when I was young, and the other was letting go of your hand." Lan Li’s voice was hoarse, even somewhat choked.

If it were two years ago, if Lan Li had apologized like this, even knowing she might hit another wall, Ding Jinshi would have gone ahead without hesitation.

But now, things have changed and so have people.

"Lan Li, leave. I know with the abilities of the Lan Family and the Gu Family, you could find a way for me to leave this wedding as the bride, and no one would dare speak a word against me. But Lan Li, this is my wedding with Ding Long, and if I leave, what will happen to Ding Long? I don’t want to see Ding Long become a laughingstock, nor do I want Ding Long to become someone’s joke." Ding Jinshi’s tone was firm. "Lan Li, please leave, and don’t come looking for me in the future. From now on, you and I are strangers."
