Chapter 52 Kissing
Zhongtian rode a tall horse to Yuan Jun'an Private Kitchen, where Xia Jin'an would be getting married.
This was Nakata's first time riding a horse, and she was very nervous, afraid that the horse would kick her off. But thankfully, the horse was very cooperative today.
Ma led Zhongtian to Yuan Jun'an Private Kitchen, where the atmosphere team was making a lot of noise with banging and firecrackers going off.
After Zhong Tian left, the Zhong residence was very quiet. Xia Muning looked at Ding Yucheng, Ding Yucheng looked at Xia Fang, Xia Fang looked at Song Jinshu guiltily, and Song Jinshu could only look at Yu Yijin in the corner. Yu Yijin looked up and glared at him.
The people inside were in turmoil, each preoccupied with their own thoughts, and remained silent for a moment.
An hour, then two hours passed, and Zhongtian still hadn't welcomed Xia Jin'an back.
Xia Fang couldn't help but speak up: "We've already drunk quite a bit of tea and wine. The Zhong residence isn't far from Yuan Jun'an, is it? Why hasn't Zhong Tian returned yet? Could something have happened to him?"
Shi Shu rushed back; an hour earlier, Xia Muning had sent Shi Shu to investigate.
"Young Master, Xia Jin'an has disappeared!"
What does "disappeared" mean? It means that after Nakata's marriage, her husband disappeared!
The servant's voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the quiet environment heard it very clearly.
The teacup in Xia Muning's hand fell to the ground with a jarring sound. He stood up abruptly: "Let's go see!"
Ding Yucheng smiled and gently placed the teacup in his hand on the table: "Let's go take a look."
Xia Fang and Song Jinshu exchanged a glance and stood up at the same time.
Yu Yijin sneered. He was very happy that the marriage was off the table. He had to go and see something so happy.
The Zhong family mansion was in complete chaos, and the entrance to Yuan Jun'an's residence was also in disarray.
A few days ago, the store issued a notice saying that it would be closed for a few days due to the joy of Manager Yuan Jun'an! Zhong Tian welcomed Xia Jin'an into the Zhong Mansion from here.
Therefore, may Jun'an be dressed up in a festive and colorful manner by Zhongtian, Xia Jin'an and his friends.
But today, Nakata stood dejectedly at the gate, her face filled with extreme frustration.
She waited there for two hours, but Xia Jin'an still didn't appear. She seemed puzzled as to why. What was the reason?
However, after thinking about it, he realized that there had been signs yesterday!
Xia Jin'an received a letter yesterday, and left in a hurry with a nervous expression, not returning until late at night. Zhong Tian was worried about him and sat there by candlelight waiting for his return.
Xia Jin'an didn't return until midnight. When he came back, he looked very strange; his eyes were red and swollen, as if he had been crying.
He saw Nakata waiting there and seemed startled.
Zhongtian touched his hand, which was icy cold: "It's so cold. Did you go out on something? Can you tell me?"
Xia Jin'an withdrew her hand, seemingly afraid that her cold hand would chill Zhong Tian: "Zhong Niang, it's alright, you don't need to worry!"
Zhongtian hugged Xia Jin'an, placing his cold hands in his arms: "We will be getting married tomorrow. Although I am not used to taking care of men, I will learn to take care of you and try my best to be your support. If anything happens, you must tell me!"
Xia Jin'an hugged him tightly. He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't speak. After a while, he said in a calm tone, "It's nothing. I just have this pre-wedding jitters you mentioned. I'm afraid I won't be a good husband."
Zhongtian chuckled: "If you marry me, you will be the best husband in the world."
Xia Jin'an's gaze was deep as she released Zhong Tian and took out a red wedding dress from the room. "Zhong Niang, try it on. Does it fit?"
Xia Jin'an's craftsmanship is excellent, and the custom-made items naturally fit perfectly. However, Xia Jin'an looked around and was still somewhat dissatisfied: "This part is still a little ill-fitting. Take it off and I'll make some alterations."
"Are you so tired?"
"It's alright. Tomorrow is so important, everything has to be perfect."
Xia Jin'an took out her needle and thread and slowly corrected the stitches, while Zhong Tian sat beside her, watching her quietly.
Suddenly, the lights went out.
All around was plunged into darkness, with only the moonlight shining on the ground, making it possible to vaguely see people's shadows.
Nakata was about to light the oil lamp when a hand stopped her.
Xia Jin'an was extremely close, close enough to feel his breathing.
"Don't turn on the lights, I turned them off! Don't move, I want to kiss you!"
After he finished speaking, his lips touched hers.
He seemed rather inexperienced; he started first, but then he stopped.
Kissing?! Nakata immediately took the initiative.
She hugged Xia Jin'an tightly around the slender waist, her tongue licking his sensitive palate.
“Darling, open your mouth and stick out your tongue.”
Xia Jin'an obediently stuck out her tongue.
Their tongues danced together, exchanging saliva, until they could no longer breathe, at which point they separated.
But their eyes met, and they immediately kissed.
It was Zhong Tian who regained his senses first and pushed away Xia Jin'an, who was somewhat confused and infatuated.
“Zhongniang…”
Nakata was also a little reluctant to part, but she still said, "Go back to your room and rest early. You have to get ready early tomorrow morning. Goodnight, I will ride a tall horse and greet you with all my heart, making you the happiest husband!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Jin'an's face turned pale instantly. He looked at Zhong Tian, his eyes seemingly about to well up with tears.
"what happened to you?"
Zhongtian frowned, as if he sensed something.
Xia Jin'an wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "It's okay, I was just too excited. I'm going back to my room."
She looked back every few steps, clearly reluctant to leave!
Xia Jin'an returned to her room, and candlelight burned for half the night. The next morning, while it was still barely light, Zhong Tian, lying in bed, saw Xia Jin'an's departing figure. He must have gone to Yuan Jun'an Private Kitchen!
Zhongtian thought with some joy that he got up, changed into the wedding dress that Xia Jin'an had altered to fit him better, and greeted the guests.
However, she came full of joy.
The door to wish you peace was locked, and Xia Jin'an, who was waiting inside, was not there. The place was empty, with nothing inside!
Zhongtian's heart felt as empty as this deserted room. She held her head in her hands, her eyes stinging with tears.
She came to this strange world alone, without family or friends. She finally opened her heart to accept a man who was completely different from herself, but he left without saying goodbye!
Perhaps it was because he had other reasons, or perhaps it was because he was coerced, but at that moment, Nakata felt betrayed.
……
"Madam Zhong, are you alright?" A cautious voice sounded behind her. Zhong Tian looked up and saw Xia Muning.
Zhong Tian rubbed his stiff face and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "I'm fine, but Xia Jin'an is the one in trouble. He's gone!"
Extreme hatred welled up in Xia Muning's heart. Xia Jin'an! Xia Jin'an, I gave you the contract of indenture so that you would treat Lady Zhong well, not so that you would break her heart!
Nakata's wedding ended in an utterly absurd way: her husband disappeared! Nakata became a laughingstock once again!
