Zou Jin met Su Yunluo because his sisterâs child was in her class. They crossed paths at a kindergarten cultural performance. After a few contacts, the two developed into a relationship.
They have been dating for a year and a half. Su Yunluo always thought he would be the man of her life. She often imagined the day she became his bride, but unfortunately, that day would never come.
During the meal, Zou Jin was uncharacteristically silent. Although Su Yunluo felt strange, she did not ask more questions.
When the meal was finished, Zou Jin looked at Su Yunluo like he wanted to say something. Su Yunluo couldnât help but speak wonderingly, âAâJin, whatâs wrong with you? Did you encounter any problems?â
âNo.â Zou Jin hesitated for a moment but still spoke. âLuoluo, I have something to tell you.â
âGo ahead, Iâm listening.â Su Yunluo looked earnestly at him.
âI⌠Am getting married next month⌠To Xiao Yu, the daughter of Xiaoâs Group.â Zou Jin barely finished the sentence.
âClang,â Su Yunluo dropped the fork on the plate. She squeezed out a smile. âAâJin, this is not true, right? Youâre kidding me, right?â
Under the womanâs begging gaze, the man nodded reluctantly. âLuoluo, itâs true. The invitations have been sent out.â
âWhy? We are obviously in a relationship. Why do you want to get married to someone else?â Su Yunluo questioned him with tears in her eyes.
âI⌠This is all an accident.â
In Zou Jinâs narrative, Su Yunluo pieced together the causes and consequences of what happened: Zou Jin went to the Xiao family to attend a cocktail party, got drunk, and accidentally barged into Xiao Yuâs room. They had an affair accidentally, losing Xiao Yuâs innocence. She wept and wanted to commit suicide. The Xiao family wanted an explanation, so Zou Jin was forced to marry her.
âYou want to marry her. What about me? What about me?â Su Yunluo bit her lips, and her eyes were red.
âI⌠I donât know.â The man looked pained, then spoke anxiously, âLuoluo, letâs not break up for now, okay? Give me some time. I promise I will divorce her soon.â
âWhat do you mean? You want me to be your mistress? Donât you dream? I wonât agree. Letâs break up. Itâs better for everyone.â Su Yunluo spoke.
The womanâs firm attitude frightened the man. Zou Jin babbled, âNo, I refuse to break up! Luoluo, give me a chance. This was an accident, and I have no feelings for her.â
Su Yunluo slapped him and looked at him angrily. âEnough, since you did it, you have to bear the responsibility. Since you want to get married, letâs part. Please also stop pestering me. I am not going to be someoneâs mistress!â After saying that, Su Yunluo turned and left without hesitation. Even though Zou Jin was chasing after her, she did not look back.
