Chapter 1: I can marry you, but I can't fall in love with you
Someone once said that we can be cruel for the sake of those we love. How many people have you loved? And how much love?
Mu Aoqing wore the most beautiful wedding dress in the world and slowly walked into the palatial church, baptized with thousands of envious eyes, she fantasized about her wedding countless times, but no matter how boundless she fantasized every time, she never thought that she would one day marry a man she had only met once.
Not far away, a man walked slowly towards Mu Aoqing, one by one red petals like Mu Aoqing's lips, fell, two fell on the man's shoulders, and his eyes were extraordinarily deep, although he had been expressionless, his handsome face was eye-catching enough. Among them, Mu Aoqing imagined him as Meng Liang more than once, and when Meng Liang's shadow could still appear in her mind, she felt a bitter pain in her heart.
After the two exchanged rings, the officiant announced that Mr. Chu Ziming and Miss Mu Aoqing would be married from now on. With a burst of applause, the moment they got closer, he whispered to her, "Now I can marry you, but I can never love you."
She was stunned, didn't look at him, and then said lightly, "Me too."
It seems that from this moment on, a marriage in the name of "lovelessness" imprisoned two strange hearts.
"Xiaoqing, I don't care if you have forgotten Meng Liang in your heart now, from this moment on, for the sake of Xuanyi Group, you must marry into the Chu family with a smile."
Mu Aoqing's father held her arm with a kind face, and the words of advice pierced her already scarred heart like a sharp blade. He can always play a good father in front of everyone, and she will continue to play his good daughter.
"Do you want to take Meng Liang and continue to blackmail me?"
"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try? You can resist, you can make a big fuss, as long as you want Meng Liang to disappear from this world. ”
… Her father's words lingered in her heart like a spell, and the plug dried up.
Mu Aoqing's good friend, Luo Wei, with red and swollen eyes, stood in the audience. Mu Aoqing once said to Luo Wei, "What kind of people we are born into, what kind of life we will have, no matter how much you envy another life, if it is not yours, it is not yours." ”
At that time, Luo Wei didn't think so, and laughed at her for looking like she was going to be manipulated for the rest of her life, which was really cowardly. But it wasn't until now, when she saw Mu Aoqing forced to leave the person she really loved, and instead, marry a stranger, that she finally understood the meaning of Mu Aoqing's words.
Chu Ziming is the heir of the Chu Group, of course, this will be after today's wedding, and his father will promise to hand over the company to him completely. Chu is a company that his mother and father worked hard together, and later when he was four years old, they divorced, one of them got half of the equity, and his father remarried and gave birth to Chu Zihe, Chu Zihe has no business acumen, but he is a genius doctor. Even if he will no longer engage in business, his father will threaten Chu Ziming with marrying the Mu family as a bargaining chip, otherwise he will leave half of the equity to Chu Zihe.
Chu Ziming doesn't believe in love, although he has been with his childhood sweetheart Shen Qing for so many years, he was thinking that if it weren't for his father's persecution, Chu Ziming would rather not have Chu than marry a woman he didn't love. He knew that Xuan Yi Group could reborn the troubled Chu family, so he regarded marriage as a price.
The wedding seemed reasonable in the eyes of everyone, but it also felt incredible. Because now I know that the situation of the Chu Group can only rely on the Xuan Yi Group, but I can't imagine that Mu Zhongxuan, the boss of the Xuan One Group, will marry his beloved daughter so confidently.
The wedding ended with the dance of the two newlyweds, and Mu Aoqing's hands were cold, just like her expression.
There is no emotional basis, just because each wants to get benefits from the other party, they want to start a marriage with only interests, and they don't know how this marriage will go on and how long it will last.
Mu Aoqing took Chu Ziming's arm and watched everyone leave. It's obviously painful, but they still have to squeeze out a smile and use their expressions to show the world how much they love each other and how happy they are.
"Mr. Mu, we will be in-laws in the future, and we will treat Xiaoqing like our own daughter", Chu Ziming's father Chu Zongde was full of spring breeze, as if he had photographed a very sought-after antique. Listening to their greetings in the company and interests, Chu Ziming and Mu Aoqing thought at the same time, will they have to live this kind of life in the future?
The dramatic day was over, Mu Aoqing changed her clothes, stood at the door of the church, raised her head, and looked at the starlight in her eyes, what is Meng Liang doing now? He must not have known that today, a month and four days after their separation, she got married, she gave up their feelings, she gave up the promises they kept... He must hate her, he must ......
"Let's go", Chu Ziming glanced at Mu Aoqing and walked over, seeing that Mu Aoqing didn't move, he continued: "Since you have chosen interests, you have to continue acting even if you act." ”
Mu Aoqing sat in the back of the car, closed her eyes, and really hoped it was a dream.
Chu Ziming drove quietly, and there was no communication between them. Outsiders say that Chu Ziming looks like a demon and has a cold heart, in the eyes of outsiders, Chu Ziming is decisive and ruthless, mysterious and unapproachable.
However, Mu Aoqing has no interest in finding out what kind of person he is, she is also a daughter, and she has not seen a rich and powerful son, and he has become a candidate for his father, it must be because he is now the most suitable and suitable to become Xuan Yi's ladder.
Came to the villa, the location is very good, in the Long Island villa area. Ordinary people can't afford it, the house is very big and empty, Chu Ziming said that he doesn't like the feeling of having strangers at home, so he didn't hire a nanny, Mu Aoqing smiled to himself, don't like the feeling of strangers? To whom is this being heard? If she hadn't been threatened by her father, would she have agreed to come back with him?
He pointed to the master bedroom to let Mu Aoqing rest, and went to the opposite room by himself.
This night, neither of them slept, one stared at the old photos on the phone, suffering the pain of missing, and the other kept smoking, looking at the files on the computer, and buried himself in work.
The morning sun was oppressive by the dark gray curtains. There was no sound in the huge house, Chu Ziming packed his bags and knocked on the door of Mu Aoqing's room...
Knocking on the bedroom door, about two minutes later, she pushed the door open, her face pale, but her eyes were sharp, like a hedgehog with thorns, full of vigilance at all times.
