The Secret of Second Marriage

It's a tangled mess, impossible to unravel.

Did I owe President Jiang something in my past life?

I turned off the lights and lay in bed, forcing myself to rest, trying to shift my focus to the upcoming wedding. Once the wedding is over, I can give my parents an explanation.

Jiang Man, you're over 30 years old and a mother of one child. What are you still thinking about?

I told myself not to overthink things. Maybe President Jiang deliberately disappeared because he heard I was having a wedding, hoping to make me worry about him and go looking for him.

But my overthinking eventually led to insomnia. What if something really happened to him?

The most terrifying thing is that once this thought appears in my mind, it grows wildly and uncontrollably like weeds, and can no longer be suppressed.

A series of unsettling anxieties kept me awake all night; I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

I became increasingly irritable, so I simply called Juan and asked, "Juan, are you asleep?"

"Um"

Juan said with a hint of sleepiness, "I'm going to sleep. Women over 40 can't stay up all night anymore. They feel tired the day after staying up all night."

I currently run a company with over 100 employees, and I'm out there doing business every day.

"Man, the economy's not doing well these days, and being a boss isn't easy for me. We're best friends, could you be a spokesperson for my company? The endorsement fee is negotiable!"

"We're sisters, Juan, I'll be your spokesperson, so you won't have to pay the endorsement fee."

I said, "But there's something I need your help with. Could you find out about Mr. Jiang for me? Ask your friends in the business world if they know where he's been lately?"

"General Manager Jiang has disappeared."

Juan perked up immediately and said, "He wouldn't be that infatuated, would he? Could it be that he couldn't handle the shock after hearing that you were getting married, and ran away to wander the streets like a walking corpse?"

Wow, Man, you're so charming! Every man who falls in love with you will be like a moth drawn to a flame, unable to forget you.

Sigh, I think you're really lucky with your love life. Could I borrow some of your luck?

"What kind of time is this to make jokes like this with me?"

I smiled bitterly: "Where is my luck with love? My ex-husband was a complete scumbag, like an animal. I finally got a divorce and found my biological parents. Now my life is finally a little more stable."

To be honest, I'm really worried about President Jiang.

I used to think that if I broke up with Mr. Jiang, I could just break up and let him go without any hard feelings. But when I suddenly heard the news that he had disappeared, my heart still skipped a beat. Juan, do you think my reaction is normal?

"Man, since you're worried about that man, I'll help you find out about him. However, he's a high-ranking executive at Jiang's Energy Group, not someone a boss like me can just meet whenever he wants. I need to make an appointment to see him."

Okay, I'll organize a few dinners soon and ask some of the company's middle managers what they think of President Jiang.

When Juan heard me say that, she stopped joking and became serious.

"Yes, Juan, thank you for always being there for me and helping me whenever I encounter difficulties. It's so great to have you as my best friend!"

I say.

When Juan heard me praising her like that, she started to comfort me, saying, "Man, don't worry. President Jiang is always shrewd and rational, and has never done anything out of line."

Maybe he was just in a bad mood and went out to clear his head. His phone just happened to be dead and he couldn't get through. Don't worry too much about him!

I've been looking into it for you, and I'll let you know if I find anything!

"it is good"

I say.

Juan said to me at the end, "Go ahead and get married. I heard that the boyfriend your parents introduced you to is a policeman and seems pretty reliable."

I think Lu Xiao is a better match for you than Shen Xing and President Jiang. You're well-matched, you have mutual feelings for each other, and you're both good people. It's a good match.

"It's pretty good."

I say.

Juan and I said goodnight to each other and hung up the phone. I couldn't sleep, so I put on a nightgown and went to the balcony to look at the moon for a while. It was a winter night, the clouds were very thin, and the moon looked ethereal.

Even late at night, the city sky is still brightly lit, with several lights always shining.

I'm thinking that everything about Lu Xiao and me is perfect, but does he really love me? Is it the kind of love that's all-consuming, a love that you decide at first sight is for life, a love that's passionate and intense?

I don't know.

Around two or three in the morning, I was very sleepy. I yawned, went back to my room, and drifted off to sleep. In my dream, I hoped that President Jiang would be safe... I also dreamed of Shen Xing. My relationship with Shen Xing began with deception.

He took my ex-husband's money to deceive my feelings, but after going through so much, I no longer hate him.

Perhaps out of sympathy for his pitiful background, I hope God will give him a happy life... and I sincerely hope that he will meet a girl he truly loves and is willing to cherish with his life!

As for President Jiang, where did he go?
