Chapter 325 - 327: Missing a Groom
As the man spoke, he still looked heartbroken and thunderstruck. That stunned expression was definitely not an act.
[Sorry, but that’s hilarious!]
[I’ve never heard anything so bizarre!]
[Forget it, I’ve been through weirder stuff. All you young ladies out there, find someone while you’re still young. I’m on the blind-dating scene now, and I regret it so much. They’re all duds. Ugh, I’m speechless!!]
The man grimaced, his heart aching with sorrow. After that girl, he had completely lost hope in blind dates.
’Who would have thought a girl who seemed so innocent on the surface could be like that behind the scenes?’
He couldn’t help but sigh before continuing his rant.
"Back then, I was in a hurry to get married. I thought, ’She’s from the countryside, but she seems like a good person. It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t have money or an education, as long as she’s willing to build a life with me.’"
"Who knew it would turn out like this!"
The man grew angry again just thinking about it, letting out a heavy sigh on camera.
[I’m speechless too.]
[Sigh, it’s actually pretty common. In the countryside, a lot of girls who look really young actually get married super early. Don’t be fooled by her age; she might already have two or three kids.]
Su Nian gave him a strange look and asked a different question.
"Do you know what’s going on with your ex-girlfriend?"
The man looked melancholic and sighed. She was, after all, the one who got away. Even after so many years, he couldn’t help but ask about her.
Although he didn’t understand why Su Nian had brought her up out of the blue, he answered truthfully.
"I was just asking about her not too long ago. I heard she’s getting married this month."
His voice was filled with regret. He couldn’t understand why her parents and his parents just couldn’t get along. Both sets of parents were against it.
He sighed again, overcome with gloom at the thought that she was about to get married.
Meanwhile, he didn’t even have a prospect for a girlfriend, not to mention he was traumatized after being deceived so many times.
After a long silence, he finally spoke.
"Host, do you see any possibility of me getting married? If not, I might as well go to an orphanage and adopt a child."
"I get it now. You really can’t meet anyone reliable through these blind dates. I’ve met so many people, and not a single one has been normal. I have absolutely no hope left for blind dating."
The man’s face was a mask of sorrow, the misery in his eyes about to spill over.
Lord knows how much he, an "older single man," wanted to get married. But all he ever met were oddballs or people with bad intentions.
His parents were pressuring him relentlessly, but there was nothing he could do. He was a government employee, for crying out loud, yet here he was, resorting to online fortune-telling. Thinking about it just made him feel pathetic.
Su Nian glanced at him and said slowly, "Don’t worry. You will have a grand wedding this month."
’A grand wedding?? How is that possible?!’
The man glanced at his phone. Today was already the 25th, and the month had 31 days.
’How could I possibly get married in just a few days? How could there be a grand wedding?’
"Are you kidding me, Master?"
His face was full of doubt, his earlier trust gone.
But Su Nian just shook her head seriously.
"Get ready to be a groom. Don’t worry, you will get married this month without a hitch. And don’t forget to come back and thank me after you do."
[Whoa, what does she mean? It’s already past the 20th.]
[Is the host saying he’s going to find someone to marry in the next few days?]
[Would that be a flash marriage? Not necessarily. Maybe it’s a childhood sweetheart he’s known for years. She’s been secretly in love with him, but he never knew, and then something happens in the next few days that brings them together.]
[Oh my god, do you think this is a romance novel? "Childhood sweetheart," really?]
[You can’t explain it without it being a romance novel! Who would just randomly marry you in a few days?]
"Oh, and remember to buy a ring on your way back. For the wedding."
The man was even more bewildered. But before he could say anything, he saw the girl before him smiling.
"Alright, you can go now. This marriage is your true destiny. Your marriage will be a very good one. Hurry back and get ready."
The man blinked in confusion, unable to process what was happening. He was a man in his thirties...
...but right now, his thought process felt like a grade schooler’s. He couldn’t even quite understand what she was saying.
’What does she mean, get the ring ready now for the wedding?’
’I don’t even have a girlfriend. Could I really find someone to marry in the few days that are left?’
[The host has to be telling the truth.]
[Buying the ring already... something feels a bit weird about this. It’s almost like the bride is going to be home-delivered.]
[I don’t get it! I want to get married too. Host, can you do a reading for me? When will I get married?]
[This guy’s pretty lucky. Sigh, his first reading and he finds out he’s getting married this month.]
Basically, none of the viewers doubted Su Nian. After all, everyone who had doubted her before had been proven wrong.
Many even felt it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Su Nian had a "golden mouth and jade words," since whatever she said came true.
As for matters of marriage, even though this was the first time they’d seen her do a reading on it, the viewers were still full of confidence in Su Nian.
On his way back, the more the man thought about it, the weirder it seemed. A part of him didn’t want to believe it, but then he recalled how resolute Su Nian had looked when she said it.
He felt hesitant. As he was driving home, he happened to pass by a shop.
He had no intention of going in, but as if moved by some unseen force, he walked inside anyway.
He looked around, trying to imagine how big his bride’s hands might be.
But as he thought about it, he laughed at himself.
"I must be going crazy wanting to get married this badly."
Despite that, he still picked out a pair of rings that he found pleasing to the eye.
’Oh well,’ he thought. ’Even if I don’t find a wife, I can just keep them as a memento.’
The man chose a pair of simple, elegant rings that suited his taste. When it came to the size, he subconsciously thought of his ex-girlfriend.
His heart was full of regret. Thinking about how his ex was getting married soon, all he could do was bury this regret deep inside.
’Forget it. I’ll just have to continue on my path of blind dating.’
’Maybe in these last few days, I really will meet someone reliable.’
Although he tried to comfort himself with this thought, holding the pair of rings, he couldn’t help but let out another self-deprecating laugh.
But to his surprise, early the next morning, he received an irate phone call.
"Hello, Xiao Dong, are you married yet?"
The man was bewildered. It was his day off, and he was still asleep at home.
He was still groggy from the call and couldn’t quite process it. He looked at his phone—it was a number he knew by heart.
He froze. That familiar voice sent him into a daze, and he didn’t know what to say.
But before he could speak, the woman’s voice on the other end continued, "I’m getting married today, but I’m short a groom. Do you want to come?"
The man was even more stunned. Then, his eyes involuntarily drifted to the pair of rings he had just bought yesterday, sitting on his desk.
’It seems what the Master said is coming true...’
