Chapter 150

The three cordially invited editors immediately slipped into a state of darkness.

XunMi went right back to Ni family’s residence. Father Ni was thinking, since XunMi already had the ability to protect herself and she was already publicly engaged to Ou JinYan, then there was no need to hide her true identity. She was Ni family’s little princess, afterall.

XunMi didn’t mind revealing herself now. Besides, when this historical epic broadcasted, her identity would be discovered anyways. The media would definitely dig deep, even more so now that she planned to announce her wedding with Jin ge.

“Mi’er, you’re back! Come and look at the wedding gown, do you like it!” Ou JinYan held a slim red gown, and excited showed it off to XunMi.

XunMi originally smiling face suddenly froze in shock. Her eyes watered with tears. This wedding gown was too similar with the one she wore in the previous world. They were both embroidered with a phoenix. Both were red with golden sleeves. The difference was that one was long sleeved while the other had sleeves that ended right off the shoulders.

Looking at the uncannily familiar gown, XunMi had an incredible guess. Did Jin ge remember something? Had Jin ge regained his memories?

“Jin ge, y-y-you, why did you choose this gown for me?” XunMi’s voice was a bit choked back. Her eyes looked up at him in glimmering anticipation.

Ou JinYan didn’t understand why his Mi’er was tearing up but he knew it was related to the gown. He immediately threw the gown aside and went to hug XunMi. He comforted, “Mi’er, don’t cry. If there’s something wrong, tell Jin ge. Do you not like the gown? I’ll have someone burn it now. We can make another one, we’ll make one that you like, okay?” He kissed her teary eyes helplessly.

XunMi shook her head and made a fist around a bundle of Ou JinYan’s shirt. “Jin ge, no. I really like this wedding gown. I was just surprised. Can you tell me why you chose this kind of gown? I really really really like it. I’m really happy.” She waited for an answer. Although she didn’t mind that her husband couldn’t remember her, there was a question that she hadn’t dared to think about. A million points was a large number. She had gone through so many worlds and had only managed to save about one hundred thousand. If, one day, she did save up so many points and left, what about him?

Ou JinYan noticed that XunMi was a bit saddened. His face scrunched as his heart hurt for her. “I don’t know either. Sometimes, I get these flashes of images of you wearing this gown. I thought, maybe it was because I wanted to marry you so much so I kept imaging you wearing a red wedding gown. Then, I drew those images on paper and had the design team improve and produce the final product. My drawing skills aren’t that great. I keep feeling like it’s a bit different than the one I keep thinking of. But it’s still very beautiful.” He excited rambled before remembering that Mi’er seemed to have some strange feelings about the dress. He carefully watched Mi’er’s expressions. After seeing her begin to return to her calm demeanor, his heart finally relaxed a bit. “Mi’er. If you don’t like it, we’ll change it. Don’t force yourself, Jin ge will worry about you.” Seeing unhappy makes me unhappy. So you must be happy, okay?

XunMi understood Ou JinYan’s meaning behind his words. A brilliant smile emerged on her face. “Jin ge, when did I ever lie to you? I really do like this wedding gown. Thank you for letting me see it again.” Even though it wasn’t exactly the same thing, but it allowed me to make a hopeful guess. Jin ge, I’ll wait for the day that you completely remember me.

Ou JinYan saw XunMi’s change in mood and finally relaxed and smiled back.

“Jin ge, wait here. I’ll go try it on.” She shimmied out of Ou JinYan’s arms and ran upstairs with the gown. She had a late realization that she was at her parents’ home and not her own apartment. Luckily, her parents and brothers weren’t home.

The oblivious XunMi didn’t know that her parents and brothers had all been upstairs watching in secret. Even the anti-Ou JinYan representative, Second Brother Ni, was moved by the two’s interactions and the revealed information that they had heard. What more was there to think about when you meet such a doting and caring person? Get married first before thinking about anything else!

Ou JinYan couldn’t take his eyes off of XunMi as she walked down in the red wedding gown.

“Your wedding gown will burn across the sky’s horizon like fire, and embed in my heart like cinnabar. It is said that your eyes flutter with the world’s peach blossoms, but it has only brought me a shower of peach blossoms rain.” His husky voice whispered the familiar song lyrics.”Mi’er, I won’t be the person that hurts you underneath peach blossom rain.”

This was his promise, this was his everlasting vow. He would abandon himself before ever abandoning the most important person to him.

XunMi hugged the tall and handsome man in front of him, leaning her entire weight into his arms. She knew that her lover was someone that kept his promises, even if he didn’t remember them. Even after all these worlds and lifetimes, she didn’t deserve such heavy affections from him. But that was fine. They could remain in debt to each other, so that they would never separate from each other.

Where there is happy men, there are sorrowful men. When Bai QianWei still couldn’t get ahold of JK after three months, she knew that this person might truly be gone. She collapsed and hid in her apartment, as if she had lost all purpose to live on. She was numb. Even now, she still didn’t understand how she arrived to this point. Shouldn’t she have revolutionized the entertainment industry to become the Queen of the new era?

This wasn’t fair. None of this was fair. Why did Ni XunMi take everything? Why did she have to be the one that was ridiculed by everyone?

But pitiful people had their hateful reasons. {T/N a saying that basically means there is a reason that some people end up in pitiful situations. Aka karma}. They were at this point but Bai QianWei still refused to self-examine her role in the situation. Instead, she placed all the blame on others.

Soon, the 80^th anniversary of the country’s founding arrived. On this day, the entire nation celebrated. Every television station watched the large flag wave above the central square. Across the large square, soldiers of all areas of the military and wearing all colors and uniforms, filed in. They carried with them their unique air of rigidity and perseverance, making others stop in their tracks instinctively. It took 30 minutes for all the men to finish filing in. Afterwards, the drummers and flag bearer walked to their positions.

When the national anthem sounded, everyone from serious spectators to curious onlookers, felt united in the military soul. They vigorously sang the simple national anthem as if it were the most beautiful prose in the universe.
