Part Three Chapter 24 Zheng Ke's Wedding

。Look, these two are standing right in front of him now, their faces clearly saying: "Who would believe your nonsense" He was only being a bit polite to Lin Zhixuan because of that person, but now it..."I messaged you before I left, you might have missed it." She explained again as they pulled up to her apartment building.

Song Jingye only realized his attitude after the fact, making him feel wronged He thought that she was a graduate with a job now, no longer the little girl she used to be. It wasn't necessary to look at his face anymore, so she got out of the car and called her name from the side of the road: "Chen Ning, come back."

Chen Ling stopped her steps and turned back to look at him. Though she felt wronged, she had gotten used to it with him. Today, she had at least bravely expressed her emotions. So when she called his name, turning back, her face was already clear after the rain, and her eyes shone brightly under the streetlights.

Song Jingye thought she would be wronged and want to explain a few words, but seeing her like this, he was taken aback for a moment, not knowing what to say, so he just said: "Go upstairs. Send me a message when you get home, and I'll leave."

"Okay."

After returning home, Chen Ning didn't send a message right away like she did last time. She didn't even turn on the lights in her room. Instead, she stood by the window and watched him downstairs for a while.

He leaned against his Jeep, phone in hand, seemingly waiting for her message, occasionally glancing up.

Chen Ning held her breath, silently counting to ten in her mind. Just as she reached ten, her phone lit up. "Are you there" he asked.

She immediately replied: Just arrived, wait for me a moment.

After saying that, she picked up the bag beside the door and ran downstairs. She ran all the way from her apartment to his front, panting heavily in front of him.

Song Jingye looked at her with confusion.

She took out a card from her bag and handed it to him: "Uncle, this is the living allowance you gave me before. Now that I'm working, I can support myself."

"Here's your card back."

She was being vague and didn't explicitly say that the card contained all the money he had given her over the past few years, because if she did, he definitely wouldn't want it.

She insisted on paying him back, at least in her mind, she and he were equals.

Song Jingye didn't think much of it, thinking it was just a simple matter of returning the card, so he accepted it. What he had said before was that his assistance would end when she officially started working.

I put the card back in my pocket. For some reason, thinking about not having to put money into this card every month felt a little disappointing. This had been a habit for almost 7 years, and I wasn't quite used to the idea of it changing.

"I'll take you up there," he said, initiating the offer as a way to soften the slight disappointment.

Chen Ning was somewhat flattered and said, "Okay."

He walked her out of the elevator and then stopped, Chen Ling took the initiative to say her room number, and after speaking, she felt a little awkward, as if inviting something.

"Goodbye, Uncle," she said, waving before turning and leaving. Thankfully it was late at night, so no one could see her blushing face.

Song Jingye watched her enter the house before turning away and leaving. Back home, he put his bank card in his wallet without looking at it again; therefore, he never knew how much money was inside from beginning to end.

After that, the two didn't see each other for a while. They met again because of Zheng Ke's wedding preparations. As mentioned at that dinner party, Chen Ling returned to be Zhang Ni's bridesmaid, and Song Jingye was also pulled by Zheng Ke to be a groomsman.

Song Jingye refused, he disliked any publicity.

Zheng Ke: "This time, all the groomsmen I invited are our comrades from back then. They heard you were also a groomsman and specially took leave from work to come."

This feeling

The emotional card struck a chord with Song Jingye. Those years he spent in the northwest left him with the deepest imprint of this wartime friendship. Unable to resist, he could only agree.

Zheng Ke struck while the iron was hot: "Tomorrow morning, I and Zhang Ni are going to try on wedding dresses, you can also go and try on the best man's suit."

Song Jingye agreed without understanding the situation, thinking it was a normal procedure.

The next day when he arrived at the dress shop as scheduled, the designer came out to greet him: "Mr. Song, please wait a moment, they are trying them on inside, you'll be next."

As soon as the designer finished speaking, a door on the side opened. A simple silver long dress came into view, swaying gently with every movement.

Song Jingye didn't look up at the skirt's owner, being naturally uninterested in such things.

Until the designer's surprised voice rang out, "Ms. Chen, this dress suits you very well."

"Is your shoulder a bit too low" Chen Ling asked the designer, slightly covering her chest with her hand. She wasn't used to wearing this style of dress, so she didn't notice Song Jingye sitting outside the fitting room the whole time she came out.

But Song Jingye only suddenly looked up at the owner of the skirt when he heard a familiar voice, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

The silver satin spaghetti strap dress seemed to perfectly outline her figure, with a defined waist, ample bust, and curvaceous hips. Anyone looking at her would have a hard time connecting her to the usually demure Chen Ling they knew.

Song Jing looked again, making sure it was Chen Linghui he knew.

Because he glanced at her a little longer, Chen Ning felt the gaze and then looked in his direction. When she saw him, she took a quick breath: "Uncle."

Then subconsciously, I used the palm of my right hand to cover < >.

Her chest, which was already somewhat revealing in her clothes, being exposed to him like this felt truly embarrassing.

Actually, Song Jingye didn't think much about it. Girls should try various types of clothing, dress up beautifully, and there's nothing wrong with that.

At this time, Zheng Ke and Zhang Ni came out from the other dressing room. Both of them were wearing wedding gowns and suits for the wedding, looking very well-matched and eye-catching.

"You're here at last, go try on your clothes and see how they fit."

The designer immediately led Song Jingye into the dressing room.

Zheng Ke's best man outfit was a standard Western suit. However, when Song Jingye came out dressed in it, he instantly captivated everyone's attention. He was a natural clotheshorse, but usually wore military uniforms at work and casual wear during his downtime, so it was rare to see him in a suit.

Chen Ning dared to swear, he was the best-looking man in a suit she had ever seen. His whole body of tight muscles could support the suit jacket, and the trousers made his legs appear longer and straighter.

Humans are visual animals, and Chen Ling is no exception. Seeing him made her heart race.

Zheng Ke and Zhang Ni both expressed satisfaction: "The groomsmen's and bridesmaids' outfits are just perfect."

Zheng Ke chuckled and said, "Will Team Song and Xiaoning steal our limelight when the time comes"

"Zhang Ni:"It's worth being overshadowed by such eye-catching bridesmaids and groomsmen."

"Or perhaps my wife is the one who truly understands." Zheng Ke embraced Zhang Ni, giving her cheek a kiss. He had already restrained himself from publicly displaying affection.

Chen Ning watched from the side and smiled. Zheng Ke might look rough on the surface, but she knew he was an incredibly gentle and considerate person. Anyone who married him would be happy.

She smiled at him.

"Wow, I didn't expect Ninghui to have such a great figure. This bridesmaid dress seems like it was tailor-made for her," Zhang Ni exclaimed unexpectedly.aoyi, she couldn't focus on work. She kept wanting to pick up her phone and ask Zhao Tingxing about his girlfriend, but she held back in the end. 。Shut down the computer and drive home. 。Deep in the...
