Wang Zhao put on the black pants and then he buttoned up his white shirt. He did the last button and looked at himself in the mirror. He took some moisturizer and put it around his face and hands. His face was void of any expression. Even though he knew he was getting married, there was no excitement.
His phone buzzed. He picked it up. He didn't say a word until the other end answered. "Boss, you were right. Miss Mi Chan did go the doctor and.."
Wang Zhao's fist curled up. "And What?" He muttered through his gritted teeth.
"She is four-weeks pregnant."
Wang Zhao's lips twitched. His eyes filled with anger and resentment. He regretted every bit of time he had put on her, trusting her with all his might. "Thanks Kim, You know what will happen right? If Mi Chan doesn't confront the truth, I will have to.."
"Okay boss. Understood, I will be prepared for everything."
"Fine. Do not forget to pick me up. I will be ready exactly in 30 minutes."
Wang Zhao threw his phone aside and continued getting ready nonchalantly. The more hurt he was, the more calm he acted. He knew the volcanos inside him would just erupt one day and everyone will regret it.
All of a sudden a sad expression made it's way on his face. "Why didn't I even believe Sang Qian." He bit his lip. A sigh escaped his lips.

After he was done, he headed downstairs just to find out Li Zinhuo and Wang Yuhan waiting for him. When his eyes landed on Li Zinhuo, something pricked him for some reason.
He stared at him for a few seconds before he turned to look at Wang Yuhan. "Why are guys here, looking better than me?" He complained with a frown, but it made others laugh.
Wang Zhao rolled his eyes. His hair were neatly pulled back. His formal wedding suit was making him look more handsome than he could ever look. His hair pulled back neatly.
A smile was there on his lips when he talked with them. "So how are the preparations, everything okay?"
"Yes! Everything is well settled. I have checked the preparations once because I cannot leave it all up to Mr Kim and mom." Wang Yuhan replied. "Alright, I will go and get the car for me and Li Zinhuo; and Mr Kim can follow us to the venue." He smiled lightly.
Wang Zhao and Li Zinhuo both nodded in response. Li Zinhuo turned his head to Wang Zhao as Yuhan walked away. "I see there was a lot of media, even though you promised Mi Chan there won't be any?"
"I didn't promise, anyone, anything. Moreover, sometimes I feel you know Mi Chan more than I do. I hate this feeling Zinhuo, but I cannot blame you either." Wang Zhao said as a matter of fact.
"This matter can't be a problem in our friendship? Would it be?"
"Unless you have hidden something which you surely know would have protected me and my heart. Only you and Mr Kim are aware of the Migraine Issue. You know how easily I am stressed, if something ever comes out that breaks me, I will completely give up on any hope left."
Li Zinhuo's eyes turned misty. There was something about Wang Zhao's words. He felt pain in his heart, he was betraying his best friend wasn't he?
"Why are you so serious?!" Li Zinhuo scoffed.
Wang Zhao smiled. "I don't know, just felt like it. Anyways, how do my hair look?"
"I am a fan!"

Wang Zhao greeted everyone, his parents and his family. Just then someone caught his eye. The girl had her back facing him. Her hair tied in a neat up-do, revealing her beautiful neckline. Her dress hugged her curves. He wanted to know who it was.
He walked a little closer. Just then he saw her turn around. He stiffened. Sang Qian's beautiful face came in his view. He almost forgot about her. She existed. She gave him her word. She loved him, so she could save this wedding maybe?
He blinked lightly and soon he was dragged away by his brother. He saw her walk out to hallway. He turned to look at Yuhan. "What?" His voice held irritation.
"Brother, why are you so lost today?"
"I might steal your girl," Wang Zhao said as a matter of fact.
"Who?" Wang Yuhan frowned.
"I am just messing with you, go and ask mom how much time is left and text me. I will be right back. I need to use the restroom." Wang Zhao excused himself and walked outside. He looked for Sang Qian but failed to find her.
When he walked a little further, he heard her voice which slightly louder. "Mi chan, It's not the time to pull pranks. Just five minutes before you have to walk down the Aisle."
He leaned against the closer door of the room with a calm expression on his face. With every word he heard. His eyes and face darkened. His heard sank. The pain was too much. His eyes teared up.
He bit his lip trying to control it all inside. After he noticed that there was dead silence in the room. He walked inside. He spotted Sang Qian standing there, staring at herself in the mirror. When she turned around, her eyes widened.
She had shock written all over her face. Wang Zhao decided, he won't embarrass his family because a girl dumped her. He would even sacrifice his happiness and get married to Sang Qian, than to just see headlines on the news the other day.
He was so selfish. He thought to himself and then ignored it. Maybe he could also make it to Sang Qian? He hurt her in the past, maybe he can know the whole truth and get peace of mind?
He pursed his lips and decided to take action. "Where is Mi Chan?"
***
Standing under the golden Chandelier when everyone was anticipating the bride, Wang Zhao wished it won't be a mess.
"Here comes the bride." The exact words rang in his ears. He blinked. He came out of the trance and turned his head to look up. His heart skipped a beat when his eyes landed on Sang Qian walking towards him with a veil. The veil was see through so he could definitely see her face.
Her body fitted perfect in that fishnet dress. He didn't know why, her words from four years ago, ringed in his brain. She said, she could marry him no matter what, and here she was. She was like the prettiest girl he had seen at the exact moment. By her side, was Ji Jin.
Wang Yuhan for the very first time was looking at Jin than anyone else. He didn't care how the bride looked, because it was obvious who else could it be than Mi Chan, but when he turned to look at the bride, his eyes Widened. "Sang Qian?"
Sang Qian lifted the veil up as soon as she stepped closer to Wang Zhao. He put out his hand for helping her step on the stage and she took it. His heart skipped another beat unintentionally. When he turned to look back, he saw surprised faces of almost all the guests.
He cared less. He turned to look at Sang Qian. She didn't look in his eyes. The hesitation was evident. Instead she stared at his chest. "Nervous?" He whispered and she turned to look up. Their eyes met.
"I am." She said. She turned her head to her parents who were staring at her with angered and confused expressions. She bit her lip and again looked at him. "I want to give up, but it is evident you don't plan on letting me go."
Wang Zhao didn't say a word and priest started the ceremony. Media was consistently taking pictures of every moment captured. Sang Qian smiled lightly at the cameras and at Wang Zhao to look natural.
Her heart thumped in her chest. She wondered, if from this day forward, she would have to struggle and endure the pain even more to give him a happy ending. She won't be responsible for his happy ending only but her's too.

Li Zinhuo closed his eyes lightly standing beside Wang Zhao. He couldn't bring himself to witness his love of life, getting married to his best friend. He didn't feel good about it. He was standing there feeling worried and dismay.
When he heard the music play and knew the bride was going to enter. He looked up, and saw Sang Qian. His eyes widened. The realization was too huge. He didn't know if he should cheer up or he should cry.
Mi Chan was not the bride? She didn't marry Wang Zhao, but where was she? What happened that she had to drop the wedding. She was crying the night before but did she really run away from the wedding.
He got anxious; turned to look at Wang Yuhan. "I am sorry Yuhan, I gotta go." He said and calmly stepped back and descended the stairs with a subtle smile as if he wad reminded of something. As soon as he stepped out of the hall, he ran on full speed towards his car. "Take the damn car to my apartment."
He dialled his assistant's number. "I want to know where is Mi Chan and what has she been doing in the last one week. ASAP!"
He removed his bow-tie and bit his lip. "Just be safe little rabbit. I am on my way." He had an anxious expression on his face.
Mr Kim who was witnessed him rush outside smiled subtly. "This is all messed up." He commented and texted someone.
