The CEO’s Justifiable Betrayal

Of course! What matters is the life after marriage, not the wedding!” Girls naturally dream of a grand wedding of the century, but for him, she can unhesitatingly give up these things. “Thank you! I will do my best… to cherish you…” In fact, what he should have said was “love you”, but he just couldn’t say that word. Now he couldn’t even imagine falling in love with another woman; he only hoped to forget his feelings for Ji Mengtang, which would already be a great blessing! In the end– Where exactly had Ji Mengtang, who had been missing for over a month, gone? It turned out she couldn’t face the truth. On that day, she fled from Taipei, taking buses southward without knowing where to go, and finally arrived at Kenting, a place she had recently visited with Kang Yansheng. She rented the same small wooden cabin and hid herself there, avoiding reality. She had been hiding like this for over a month. During the day, she would either walk along the long beach or sit blankly in front of the door. At night, she would find a place to stargaze or lie in bed, recalling everything about Kang Yansheng. She ruminated past memories, repeatedly thinking day and night, and gradually began to believe that he truly loved her. No one would be so caring about a woman who wasn’t their lover. He was concerned about her hunger, cold, comfort, and emotions. He always tried to fulfill her expectations and wishes, making her happy and joyful, never bearing to see her disappointed. Even when she requested to leave and return to her first love’s embrace, he painfully let her go. She had actually felt the pain of separation but stubbornly refused to look back. If she looked back, it would mean she loved him, and how could she admit that she had fallen in love with him? So she was headstrong, forcing herself to complete the wedding, but unexpectedly something happened… Looking back now, she didn’t blame Gao Zhongwei. Because she no longer loved him, his terrible behavior didn’t truly hurt her. The only thing that concerned her during this time was Kang Yansheng’s condition. Perhaps no one knew that during his hospitalization, she often secretly called the nursing station to inquire about his condition. Learning that he had recovered well and been discharged, she felt very relieved. Of course, she wanted to see him! But– having hated him for so long, she didn’t know how to meet him with a loving heart, so she could only continue avoiding… Sigh! She took out her long-powered-off phone and turned it on, wanting to check if there were any new messages. The moment she turned it on, she was startled. There were dozens of text messages, almost flooding her inbox. Checking the senders, she found that almost everyone she knew had left her messages. What happened? She pressed one of the messages and looked– her expression suddenly turned serious. “Mengtang, come back quickly!” “Mengtang, urgent matter, please call back!” What exactly happened? As she continued reading, her expression became increasingly grave. “Mengtang, Kang Yansheng is about to get married, come back quickly!” “Miss Ji, please come back! Dr. Kang is going to marry someone else…” Kang Yansheng was going to marry someone else? He was getting married?! The phone fell from her hand, silently dropping onto the soft white sand beneath her feet. It was noon, and the warm sunlight shone on her, but she felt cold all over, with darkness before her eyes. He was going to marry someone else? No! How could he marry another after she discovered her love for him? How could he be so cruel? No– she must stop him! She must return to Taipei immediately– She suddenly stood up but immediately knelt back down on the beach, dizzy. What was happening? Was she sick? She touched her cheek and found it terrifyingly cold. She had been feeling unwell these past few days. Could she have contracted some strange illness? Supporting her weak body, she swayed as she stood up, glimpsing someone approaching through her barely open eyes. She immediately reached out to the person for help… “Please… help… me…” Before she could finish speaking, she collapsed onto the beach. ★★★ Another wedding was taking place in the church– Standing solemnly before the sacred altar was a handsome couple. The bride was gentle and beautiful, the groom elegant and tall, but he seemed preoccupied, his face full of bewilderment, his eyes constantly focused on the bride, his distant thoughts wandering. “Mr. Kang Yansheng, do you take Miss Lin Shuruo as your wife?” Kang Yansheng slowly pulled back his wandering gaze, turning to look at the girl beside him. She was looking up at him, her face full of shy anticipation, her sparkling eyes trustingly gazing at him. Until this moment, she was still full of hope for their future marriage, believing he could bring her the happiness she wanted. However, he began to doubt– could he truly forget Mengtang and love another woman? If the answer was no, wouldn’t marrying Lin Shuruo mean hurting her? He regretted it! No matter how heartbroken and painful, he shouldn’t selfishly use another girl to soothe his wounded heart. Having been deeply hurt before, he understood the pain of a broken heart. How could he still have the heart to do this? He was a bastard! But now, it was still not too late to make amends. So he raised his head to look at the priest and loudly said, “I–” “He cannot marry her!” Just as Kang Yansheng was about to say he couldn’t marry Lin Shuruo, someone else spoke first. Hearing this crisp call, everyone turned towards the church’s main door. Upon seeing the newcomer, the scene immediately erupted into a significant commotion because the woman walking gracefully towards the altar was incredibly beautiful– even more beautiful than the bride! She wore a chili-red tight dress that hugged her perfect figure, with a drooping collar sexily revealing a hint of cream-like, snow-white, smooth skin. Her wavy long hair swayed gently with her steps, floating softly in the air. Her perfectly lined ankles were adorned with diamond-studded strappy high heels. This woman was not only beautiful but also naturally sexy, alluring yet not vulgar, charming yet not excessive. She moved with light steps, swaying her jade-like hips, walking to the altar as confidently as on a runway, stopping in front of the groom. Her eyes, filled with deep emotion, could no longer be restrained from searching for his. However, the groom stood like a wooden puppet, expressionless as he stared at her, causing her to become nervous and anxiously bite her lower lip.
