Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The customs of marriage in different parts of the country were different. According to the customs of Binhai city, the bride had to get up at three or four in the morning to wash up and put on makeup. However, according to the customs of the West, the wedding would usually begin in the afternoon or dusk.
Lu An knew Jin Nian too well. She was a person who would rather stay up late than wake up early. Lu An didn’t want Jin Nian to suffer so early, so he specially told Teacher Tan to let Jin Nian sleep more during the holidays.
At 10 a.m. the next day after the Dragon Boat Festival, Jin Nian had just opened her eyes when her phone rang.
“Are you awake?” Lu An asked softly.
Jin Nian: “I just woke up.”
“Little lazy pig, get up quickly. The makeup artist has been waiting outside. The wedding dress is ready. I’ll be here in two hours to fetch you.”
Jin Nian’s brain buzzed and she realized what Lu An had said. She instantly jumped up from the bed. “Lu An, what are you doing?!”
Lu An laughed. “What else can we do?”
“Are you kidding me?”
“I’m serious. I’m not joking.” There was a rare seriousness in Lu An’s tone as he enunciated each word, “Jin Nian, I’m here to marry you.”
Jin Nian was dumbfounded. She quickly walked over and pushed the door open. Sure enough, it was already decorated with the word ‘happy’ in red. The makeup artist and stylist were sitting on the sofa. They had obviously been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Jin Nian push the door open, Qiao Ranran, who was wearing a bridesmaid’s dress, rushed over with a smile and shouted at Jin Nian, “Surprise!”
Only then did Jin Nian realize that it wasn’t a prank, but that she and Lu An were really going to have their wedding today.
She had heard of people who wanted to surprise the bride with a marriage proposal, but she had never heard of people who only knew they were getting married on the day of their wedding.
After Jin Nian finished washing up, she sat obediently in front of her dressing table. She didn’t have to do anything. Someone brought her breakfast and she ate while putting on her makeup.
After putting on her makeup, she put on her wedding dress. The wedding dress she was wearing was tailor-made. It was tailored to fit her, and the style was just what she liked. It was all prepared by Lu An in advance.
Lu An arranged everything precisely. She didn’t have to care about anything else. She just had to dress up and attend.
Jin Nian finally understood. So Lu An had been secretly guarding against her all this time because he was preparing for this!
Surprise, grat.i.tude, and emotions filled her heart.
When she was young, Jin Nian had attended other people’s weddings. At that time, she had fantasized about what kind of wedding she would have.
Unfortunately, she had a bad experience, which made her lose her expectations and desire for the wedding. But today, because of Lu An, Jinnian felt that her life seemed to have been injected with new blood.
After putting on the wedding dress, Jin Nian stood in front of the mirror. The person in the mirror had pink cheeks and exquisite makeup. Her skin was as clear as a peeled egg. Her black hair was tied up on top of her head, and she wore a diamond crown that was shining with silver light. She also wore a pure white veil that was shining with gold.
The one-shoulder wedding dress revealed her exquisite collarbone. The fabric pattern on the chest was complicated. It was obvious that it was hand-embroidered. The hem of the wedding dress was not thick, but there was a long tail. It made Jin Nian look like an angel who had fallen into the world.
When she was preparing for her wedding with Jiang Qingchi, Jin Nian tried on many wedding dresses, but none of them were as suitable as the one she was wearing now. This wedding dress was designed by a world-cla.s.s professional wedding dress designer hired by Lu An. It was completely handmade.
This was the only wedding dress in the world that belonged to Jin Nian.
A moment later, someone knocked on Jin Nian’s bedroom door. Lu An’s voice came from outside. “Wife, I’m here to pick you up.”
According to the customs of Binhai city, the bridesmaids had to block the bride’s door and embarra.s.s the groom before allowing him to come in and pick up the bride. This was equivalent to the bride’s friend giving the groom a warning to not bully the bride in the future.
As the bridesmaid, Qiao Ranran pretended to make things difficult for Lu An. She raised a few tricky questions that Lu An easily resolved.
The door was opened very quickly. Jin Nian, who was wearing a grand wedding dress, looked at Lu An shyly.
Jin Nian’s heart was pounding. She didn’t know what she looked like in his eyes. She only knew that Lu An was dressed in a well-ironed black suit and a bow tie. He looked extremely formal and handsome, like a prince from a fairy tale.
In Lu An’s eyes, Jin Nian’s appearance seemed to always have a filter. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.
There was an old saying in China that went, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Xi Shi was a great beauty in ancient times. If one liked someone, no matter what she looked like, she would still be a great beauty in one’s eyes. This was the case in Lu An’s eyes. Jin Nian, who was already very beautiful, was the most beautiful woman in the world in his eyes..
