I stood in front of the mirror, meticulously combing my hair, and the white veil on my head seemed to herald the beginning of a happy life. Jiang Yantao, a familiar name, echoed in my heart. I put on my white wedding dress and smiled and prepared to step into the palace of marriage.
The whole wedding went on picturesquely, however, an unexpected arrival made my mood inexplicably heavy. My cousin, Yu Xinyue, has always been one of the closest people in my life, and her worries have caused ripples in my heart. Halfway through the wedding, she walked up to me and whispered, "Sister Ling, are you sure this is what you want?"I was stunned, the uneasiness in her eyes that made me feel a wave of doubt.
Just as I was immersed in my inner conflict, a group of groomsmen suddenly broke into the bridal room. Their faces were full of slyness and their eyes were mischievous. I felt a pang of embarrassment, and Xinyue retreated into a corner. They began to tease us mischievously, with words full of teasing and teasing. I tried to keep my composure, but I felt anger and shame inside.
Don't take it too seriously, Ling, it's just a joke. The groomsman said, but he didn't see the firmness in my eyes that could not be ignored. I stood up, confronted these uncontrolled men, and said, "It's not a joke, it's disrespectful to me." Please leave. My voice was resolute, but insignificant in their laughter.
At this moment, Jiang Yantao returned to the room. I'm looking forward to him stepping up and protecting me. However, his expression was full of impatience and helplessness. "What are you doing here?He asked coldly. The groomsmen explained that it was a joke, but he wasn't on my side.
This is my wedding, not your playground. "I stood up bravely, but I didn't get the support I was expecting. Jiang Yantao not only did not stop the groomsmen, but looked at me indifferently. "Don't go too far, these are wedding conventions, you don't understand. His words made me stunned, and I couldn't figure out what kind of "convention" this was.
Sign. I handed him the agreement, and there was not a hint of emotion in my voice. "Are you crazy?This is the wedding scene!He shouted angrily, and the agreement in his hand was slammed to the ground. He's trying to redeem himself, but I've seen his true colors. I am no longer the woman who blindly pursues happiness, but a woman who knows how to protect herself.
I don't need your protection, and I don't need your marriage. I said indifferently, pulling Xinyue away. At the door, I glanced back at Jiang Yantao. He was stung by a line on the agreement: "I'm sorry, I chose to leave." ”
His expression became extremely complicated in the moment he was stunned, as if someone had poured cold water on his head. I don't look back because I know it's the beginning of my freedom again.
We traveled through the wedding scene and back to the familiar streets. Xinyue took my hand, her eyes full of understanding and support. At this moment, I realized that although the wedding was not as beautiful as I imagined, I had won dignity and freedom for myself.
Jiang Yantao chased after me angrily and tried to hold me back. I got rid of his hand without mercy. "Don't dwell on it, or I'll call the police. I said firmly, looking into his stunned eyes. Although the dream was shattered, it cultivated the strength and maturity of my heart. Walking on the way home, I felt the warm companionship of Xinyue, as if it was a soul **.
