📕He stood me up for the 7th time for his FL, so I accepted my best friend's brother's proposal.

00:00 Story 1: Miles was called away by a phone call just as we were about to take our final photo at the marriage registration office. He left me standing there alone, trapped and unsure whether to stay or leave.
I tried calling him, but he didn’t answer. I sent messages—no reply. Finally, I dialed his first love’s number, and it was Miles who picked up.
“Serena, aren’t you annoying? Crystal twisted her ankle, and I have to take care of her today. Stop calling and waking Crystal up. We can reschedule our registration day,” he said irritably.
I bit my lip softly and murmured, “Including this time, we’ve already changed the date seven times.”
“So what? The civil affairs bureau isn’t going anywhere!” he snapped.
I kept a blank expression, my heart aching like a knife twisting inside.
The clerk looked at me sympathetically and asked if I still wanted to proceed.
I nodded gently. “Yes, I do.”
35:18 Story 2: Cyrus and I never talked about love, yet we did all kinds of intimate things. Until a young assistant appeared by his side. And I was constantly asked to give in. Give up the gifts. Give up the projects I was in charge of. Give up that special position beside him. Later, when I saw Cyrus, who was always so critical of me, calmly drink a cup of instant coffee brought by the young assistant, I suddenly felt it was quite boring. So I submitted my resignation. "Why?" "I'm at the right age now and have to go back and get married." "...That's good." Cyrus twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled. But for a long time, the pen in his hand didn't come down to sign.
