Chapter 803: Wedding
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yinghua Island appeared sunny and pretty, the air fresh and relaxing. With the extravagant setup organized by Qiao Yanze, it was truly beautiful.
Qiao Yanze and Xiao Ying had arranged their wedding to be at the beach. A long red carpet was arranged that extended from the hotel to the wedding venue, and Qiao Yanze had imported more than ten thousands of fresh roses from all over the world.
When the sea breeze blew at them, all anyone could smell were roses.
Wedding photos of the couple were placed everywhere on the venue, the man handsome while the woman was beautiful.
Madam Qiao and An Feng brought Xiaojie to sit in the first row. Even up to now, Madam Qiao still did not like Xiao Ying and was still unwilling to let her enter the Qiao family.
However, Qiao Yanze seemed to have been possessed by something and was extremely stubborn in only marrying Xiao Ying.
Also, the most important thing was that Xiao Ying was pregnant. No matter how much Madam Qiao did not like Xiao Ying, she would still want her grandson…
An Feng grabbed Madam Qiao’s hands, whispering softly, “Mom, let it go a little. Everyone will have their own fate, won’t they?”
Madam Qiao closed her eyes and nodded. “I can only let go. I hope Xiao Ying is someone who keeps to herself and will learn the rules properly in the future so she doesn’t embarra.s.s the Qiao family!”
As Madam Qiao said so, she glanced at the entrance. “Why isn’t Zhizhi here yet?”
“Pretty Zhizhi went to change, so she might be retouching her makeup!” Xiaojie replied.
Madam Qiao stared at Xiaojie, who was becoming more handsome as he grew older, looking like a small masculine man. An affectionate smile graced her lips. “Zhizhi has really taught you well.” With that said, she glanced at Pei Xuan and Nan Yao, lowering her voice. “I heard that Nan Yao has never taken care of her son ever since she had him. The child is fed milk made from milk powder usually as well.”
An Feng glanced at Nan Yao.
She naturally did not have a good impression of Nan Yao and her mother, Ding Shuman.
“Nan Yao is really similar to her mother. They tend to be more selfish and only care about their own well-being.”
Grabbing onto An Feng’s hand, Madam Qiao patted the back of it. “The Pei family will definitely not let Nan Yao marry into the family. If she wants to be with Pei Xuan, she can only be her mistress and not have an official status for the rest of her life. It can also be seen as a punishment for her!
An Feng nodded.
When it was time for the wedding, Qiao Yanze stood on the stage in his white suit, looking extremely handsome like a G.o.d that had come from the heavens.
The wedding march started to play.
Xiao Ying, who was wearing a pure white wedding gown, slowly got on the red carpet, while the two flower girls followed behind her, helping her lift her train up.
Several of her bridesmaids followed behind her, throwing flowers in the air without stopping.
The atmosphere was really warm and romantic.
However, Madam Qiao, An Feng and Xiaojie were not happy at all.
“Great Grandma, Grandma, why isn’t Pretty Zhizhi here yet?” Xiaojie furrowed his eyebrows, saying worriedly.
An Feng was extremely uneasy as well. Zhizhi was not someone who would be so tardy.
It was her uncle’s wedding. Even if she disliked Xiao Ying, it was impossible for her to not attend the wedding.
“Ah Feng, call Zhizhi.”
An Feng patted her head, taking out her phone hurriedly. She even forgot to call her daughter once she started to panic.
An Feng looked down to call Nan Zhi.
She nodded at Madam Qiao and Xiaojie. “It went through.”
As Xiao Ying slowly walked over from the other end of the red carpet, she had a gentle and happy smile on her lips.
As she stared at Qiao Yanze who was waiting for her on the stage, happy tears fell from her eyes.
She looked away. When she glanced at Madam Qiao from the corner of her eyes and noticed that An Feng and her were not looking at her at all and were looking down instead. What were they doing?
Xiao Ying furrowed her eyebrows, slight unhappiness crawling within her.
However, she immediately thought that it was fine as long as Qiao Yanze only had her in his eyes. She could ignore everyone else.
Step by step, Xiao Ying arrived at the stage, and Qiao Yanze grabbed her laced hands to guide her to the s.p.a.ce by his side.
The pastor stood in front of the couple on the stage, starting to read the vows solemnly to the couple.
“Mr Qiao Yanze, are you willing to take Miss Tang Xiao Ying as your wife. Will you stay with her no matter in times of rich or poor, in good health or sickness, for as long as the two of you shall live?”
Qiao Yanze stared at Xiao Ying, his lips smiling gently.
Before he replied the pastor, he glanced at the guests watching them.
When his eyes reached the row Madam Qiao and An Feng were sitting at, he furrowed his eyebrows slightly when he did not see Nan Zhi.
Where did that girl go?
Madam Qiao discovered Qiao Yanze’s eyes on her and waved her hand at him.
Following Qiao Yanze’s eyes, Xiao Ying glanced at Madam Qiao as well. Seeing Madam Qiao wave her hands at Qiao Yanze to get him to go down, her expression changed.
What in the world?
This was the most crucial time of their wedding. What was Madam Qiao doing by getting Qiao Yanze to go down now?
Did she not want the wedding to continue?
Noting that Qiao Yanze was not answering, the pastor asked once more. “Mr Qiao Yanze, are you willing to take Miss Tang Xiao Ying as your wife. Will you stay with her no matter in times of rich or poor, in good health or sickness, for as long as the two of you shall live?”
Qiao Yanze did not answer.
Xiao Ying called for him softly. “Yanze.”
Madam Qiao kept eyeing Qiao Yanze.
Qiao Yanze realized that something was wrong. Had something happened to Zhizhi?
“Xiao Ying, let’s hold the ceremony later. I need to go look for Zhizhi.”
Before Xiao Ying could say anything, Qiao Yanze ran down the stage.
“Mom, what’s wrong? Where did Zhizhi go?”
“Your older sister is calling Zhizhi. The calls are going through, but no one is answering.”
Yinghua Island was an island gifted to Xiao Ying by Qiao Yanze, so it was a private island that had not been opened to the public. It was impossible for outsiders to come in and do something to Zhizhi.
COMMENT
Qiao Yanze walked in front of Pei Xuan with a dark expression, dragging him up by his collar. “Tell me, is it you?”
Pei Xuan looked extremely innocent. “Yanze, what do you mean by is it me?”
“Don’t beat around the bus.h.!.+ If you’re not honest, don’t blame me for what happens!”
“Aiyo, what are you doing?” Seeing that Qiao Yanze was being violent to Pei Xuan during his wedding, she wiped her snot and tears. “Yanze, why aren’t you doing your wedding properly and coming over to hurt out our Pei Xuan for?”
“That’s right. What did our Xuan Er do to you for you to treat him like this?” Mr Pei said unhappily.
Qiao Yanze narrowed his eyes, ignoring Li Ying and Mr Pei as he stared at Pei Xuan coldly. “It really isn’t you?”
“I’ve been with Yaoyao for the entire day, what do you think I could do?”
Qiao Yanze let go of Pei Xuan’s collar, his expression dark. “You’d better not let me find out that it’s you. Or else.”
Xiao Ying lifted her skirt and walked off the stage to stop Qiao Yanze from leaving. Her eyes were red and filled with tears. “Do you really have to leave now?”
Seeing Xiao Ying’s face covered in tears, Qiao Yanze furrowed his eyebrows. “Zhizhi might be in danger.”
“How do you know that she’s in danger? She never liked the fact that I was getting married to you, so she might have disappeared on purpー”
Before Xiao Ying finished speaking, Qiao Yanze had swung her hand away as he eyed her sharply. “Zhizhi isn’t like that!”
This was the first time Qiao Yanze had lost his temper at Xiao Ying ever since they started their relations.h.i.+p.
Xiao Ying stared at him in disbelief, the tears in her eyes swelling even more.
What was happening?
The guests around them were all pointing at them. But it was like she could not see anything, only being able to see him giving up on their wedding in order to go look for Nan Zhi!
