Echoes of Elara's Heart Chapter 2

Congratulations were said, engagement rings were exchanged, and the parents of both parties took the stage to speak.

She was wearing a formal traditional cyan cheongsam at the Cheng family's request for today's ceremony. Because of her graceful temperament, it didn't look dull when she was wearing it, but she had a kind of beauty that blossomed with each step.

There were three sets of dresses in total today. Elara Xia, who had her hair cut short, went to the table to have something to eat first. Without letting the makeup artist follow her, she went to the dressing room to change into the second set of toast clothes.

Mainly because she was too tired and wanted to be lazy in the locker room.

The second dress was a low-cut red dress, which was more in line with the aesthetics of young people. She lay in the room for ten minutes before coming out.

After closing the door and turning around, Elara Xia unexpectedly saw a man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. She recognized him instantly with just his back.

Cassian Cheng heard the sound and flicked the thin smoke between his fingers. When he turned around, a circle of white smoke overflowed from his lips, blurring his dark vision.

Elara Xia felt a sense of oppression.

She glanced at the ajar door, but she didn't feel comfortable speaking directly, so she said euphemistically: "Why is my cousin here? This is my dressing room."

"Feel sorry."

Cassian Cheng put out the half-burned cigarette and said, "Come out and breathe. I'll wait for you."

He said sorry, but there was no trace of sincerity, it was just condescending.

Elara Xia kept a polite smile, but when she heard the last two words, her expression suddenly changed.

Before she could figure out what she meant, Cassian Cheng walked up to her, picked up half a glass of water on the table, drank it all, and looked at her with his dark eyes.

Like a battle-hardened cheetah appreciating the panic of its prey.

He was too tall, and the shadow in the light pressed down on her in vain.

Elara Xia raised her eyes and asked with a smile: "Don't you know how to get back to the hall? I'll ask the waiter to take you there."

Bang------

The transparent water glass was placed on the table by him and turned slightly.

He chuckled lightly and took out a black business card from the lining of his suit. Whether it was out of fun or contempt from a superior, he couldn't tell, and he embedded the business card directly into Elara Xia's chest.

It's October now, it's not too cold yet, the heater is on indoors, and the black business card suddenly touches the softness of her chest, intervening like a cold weapon.

Black and white contrast sharply.

She was uncontrollably angry from the inside out.

The visitor was a guest. No matter how she tried to find excuses, Elara Xia could not understand Cassian Cheng's humiliating behavior as an accident.

"Mr. Cheng, you have gone overboard!"

Elara Xia angrily pulled out the business card from her chest and clenched it in her palms.

"Indeed." Cassian Cheng said in a very candid tone, admiring the anger on her face leisurely, "Put the business card away. It won't be long before you take the initiative to call me."

Ridiculous, simply ridiculous.

Elara Xia's mood at this moment could not be described as angry, but she felt that this person was crazy.

After Cassian Cheng left behind those incomprehensible words.

Elara Xia still found the scene that happened to be unbelievable and ridiculous.

She will officially marry into the Cheng family in three months, and the Cheng family's daughter-in-law, as a cousin, actually flirts with her unabashedly.

She has always had a good temper, and today was another happy day. She didn't want to make everyone unhappy, so she tried to adjust her mentality, and Rowan Cheng came over.

"Are you tired? I saw you haven't come out for a long time, so I don't worry about finding you." Rowan Cheng stroked her shoulder.

"There's no way you can be tired without being engaged. Just take a rest and you'll be fine."

Elara Xia still held the business card in her hand that she had no time to throw away. After thinking for a moment, she gave the business card to Rowan Cheng, "Just now...my cousin was resting here and gave me a business card."

She didn't say anything about Cassian Cheng's outrageous behavior.

Rowan Cheng didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with his cousin resting here. He took the business card and looked through it without noticing the solemn look in her eyes.

"This is my cousin's personal business card. Every time I go to the headquarters for a meeting, I can only ask for his secretary. My cousin looks cold on the surface, but he actually cares about our younger brothers and sisters."

Elara Xia saw that he carefully put away the business card and finally swallowed his words.

During the toast, Elara Xia found that Cassian Cheng had left long ago. While she was relieved, she felt like there was a lump in her heart, unable to keep her grudges at bay.

Today was the happiest and happiest day for her and her boyfriend, who had been in a free relationship for four years before getting engaged. However, this kind of humiliating thing happened that was hard for women to swallow.

As soon as the engagement party was over, Elara Xia really didn't want to stay in the hotel anymore. She didn't go to the suite specifically for the bride and groom to rest. Instead, she told Rowan Cheng that she wanted to go home.

Rowan Cheng was busy seeing off guests and relatives and asked her to go back and rest quickly.

I went home and took a hot bath, completely releasing all the accumulated fatigue in my body. I was not in the mood to think about negative emotions anymore, so I just fell asleep in bed.

After sleeping until she woke up naturally the next day, Elara Xia lay in bed and processed the information about the editorial team. The company had opened a new "Dream Chasing" column, and there were many submissions.

The next second, Xiao Yuxin’s WeChat message came.

[Xinxiangrong: If I give you a day off, why do you still work from home? If I had a day off, I would be a pig if I clicked on the workbench. 】

After graduating with a master's degree, Elara Xia went directly to the Dumeng magazine opened by Sable Yu as an editor. She studied for a master's degree in college and majored in Chinese language and literature. As soon as she stepped out of school, she was dragged to the magazine by Sable Yu, both soft and hard, to work as a slave, a small magazine. The company is still in its infancy and needs the help of professional editors.

[Yao Yao: You, the bridesmaid, worked harder than me last night, how can I sit back and relax? Anyway, I had enough sleep, so I worked hard and thanked my boss for the wine yesterday. 】

[Xinxiangrong: I love you so much, baby. However, I order you to take a rest today. I will start a new column in a few days. There are still piles of manuscripts to review, so you are busy. 】

Elara Xia chatted casually with her for a few words and had no intention of going out. After washing up and leaving the house, she smelled the aroma of food filling the room.

The food in the hotel looks beautiful, but tastes average. Yesterday, I didn’t eat much in order to keep my belly flat and clean.

Three dishes and one soup were served. Elara Xia served the rice and waited for her mother to serve it before starting it.
