The melodious piano music echoed in my ears as I slowly walked towards the vibrant wedding scene.
Today, I am here to disrupt a wedding.
Lu Ting Shen is the man I have loved for three years. He's getting married, but, the bride is not me!
His once-promised vows still linger in my ears, yet with one turn, he abandoned me and proposed to another woman.
That woman is none other than my half-sister, the person I loathe the most in my lifetime.
Watching An Luo Xue, brimming with happiness, on Lu Ting Shen's arm, my heart ached with each throb.
Lu Ting Shen could choose not to love me, not to marry me, but he should not be with An Luo Xue.
Her smile on her face seemed like a stab in the eye.
I took a deep breath, walked onto the red carpet leading to happiness, and stood in front of Lu Ting Shen and An Luo Xue.
The smile on An Luo Xue's face stalled slightly, then she pulled a not-very-friendly arc, "Xin Xin, if you have anything to say, let's talk in private. Now is not the time."
I ignored her and just looked at Lu Ting Shen.
There was no expression on his icy face.
Today is his wedding, shouldn't he be very happy?
Looking at him, looking at him, I couldn't help but laugh.
Whether I was mocking him, or self-mockery, I couldn't tell.
"I'm pregnant," I stated blandly.
The thick, long eyebrows of Lu Ting deeply raised slightly, in his eyes were confusion, shock, incredulity, and there even seemed to be... a flash of joy.
Was there any joy?
Or did I see it wrong?
My words made the norm abnormal, stirring whispers among the quiet crowd, "Isn't this the second daughter of the An family? How did she end up carrying the groom's child? Is the groom playing two-timing?"
An Luoxue, who was always calm and composed, was glaring at me angrily. She tried to moderate her anger, making her voice sound as soothing as usual, "Xin Xin, stop talking nonsense and go back."
"I'm not making a scene, I am pregnant, with Ting's baby," I repeated insistently.
An Luoxue's mother, Xiao Shuhua, came rushing over, pointed at my nose and yelled, "An Xin, you little bastard, get out of here."
My father tried to stop her for the sake of face, but how can he hold back a shrew like Xiao Shuhua?
I gave a bland chuckle and glanced at the aggressive Xiao Shuhua, "Auntie, don't be angry, I'm here to save my sister."
"I am carrying Ting's child, he has to take responsibility! If he refuses to accept this responsibility, it means he's an irresponsible man. Auntie, are you comfortable marrying your daughter to an irresponsible man?"
"You..." Xiao Shuhua was so angry her face turned red, if not for so many guests being present, she would have torn me apart.
"We don't need you to meddle in our family matters, get lost."
"Auntie, rest assured, I will leave. Before leaving, though, I want to ask my child's father."
After offering her a slight smile, I turned my head to look at Lu Ting. I wanted to see how he would decide.
"Everyone out." Lu Ting's words were like a decree, people slowly started filtering out.
As Xiao Shuhua was leaving, she was still cursing loudly, "An Xin, you shameless slut, your mother stole my husband when she was alive, now you are trying to steal my daughter's groom. You and your mother are two of a kind, lowlifes..."
The air grew tense, silent as a tomb.
An Luoxue's eyes welled up with tears, looking at Lu Ting, she choked up while asking, "Brother Shen, is what she said true?"
