Xue Lin yawned. She never thought that the wedding could be so exhausting. She tiredly tugged Ge Chen"s sleeve. Ge Chen looked at her gently and asked, "What"s wrong?"
Xue Lin requested, "Can you take off my tiara? If it stays on my head for another minute, I think I"ll lose my neck today."
Ge Chen"s eyes glanced over her tiara and commented, "It does look heavy. Lean forward."
As Xue Lin leaned toward him, Ge Chen checked from both sides of the tiara to understand where it was stuck and then took it off with great patience. Some strands loosened up and brushed against her cheeks.
While he was doing so, Xue Lin commented, "I pity all the brides in the world. In their happiest occasion, they have to suffer the most. What"s the point of this happy occasion if they are going to suffer?"
Ge Chen commented, "Maybe it"s because they have to work hard to gain something and that gives them happiness."
"You might be right." Xue Lin agreed.
After a while, Ge Chen moved away from her and declared, "It"s done."
Xue Lin sat up straight and moved her head back and forth, left side and right side. "Ah, I feel much better. But my hair! How can I face the guests later with this hairstyle?"
He smiled at her, "Don"t worry about it. We won"t face any guests today."
Xue Lin blinked. "Huh? How come?"
"We will eat at the villa." Ge Chen thought that she wouldn"t eat much in front of the guests. So, he considered if they ate alone, she could eat as much as she wanted.
"What? But why?" Xue Lin was surprised.
Ge Chen answered her, "I thought you were tired and you didn"t like this sort of gathering."
Xue Lin shook her head helplessly and said, "You are right, I don"t like gatherings of unknown people. Thanks for the consideration. But it"s our wedding reception party. Even if the guests came for the Su Family and the Su Company, we are the main fact here. How can we walk away without ending the ceremony we started? We should change our clothes quickly and go there. You have to toast with the guests."
"Alright… I will call grandfather." Ge Chen took out his cell phone and dialed Su Fengfei"s number. After talking to him, he hung up and ordered the drive, "Drive faster."
"Yes, Young Master." The driver obeyed the command and they reached the villa in seven minutes. He couldn"t believe that his Young Master just listens to his wife without complaints. "I guess marriage does change men." He wondered.
Xue Lin met the makeup artist and she helped her to change her clothes and jewelry. Since they didn"t have enough time, the makeup artist complained, "Your hair is a mess."
Xue Lin stubbornly said, "I had to take off the tiara."
The makeup artist sighed. "I guess I will tie it up into a normal bun. I"ll only use one hairpin, so please don"t ruin it this time. You still have a night party."
"I… have to attend a night party as well!" Xue Lin exclaimed. "Why does no one tell her all the exclusive details beforehand?" Now she doesn"t want to go to the reception anymore.
The makeup artist was shocked too. "Ara, ara… I didn"t know that you didn"t know."
"I want to murder my husband." Xue Lin pouted.
"If you don"t want to become a widow on your wedding day, you are welcome to do so." The girl giggled.
Xue Lin wore a baby pink qipao and white jade jewelry. With one hairpin attached to her hair, a pair of earrings, and a pair of white jade bangles. She wore a pair of white heels. After dressing up, she went out of the room and saw Ge Chen was waiting for her outside. He was wearing a baby pink shirt with a white bowtie, pants, and a tuxedo. His shoes were also white.
He opened his mouth to say something but stopped seeing her pouty face. Xue Lin strode forward and grabbed him by his shirt and said, "Are we having a night party as well?"
Ge Chen calmly looked at her angry expression and then asked, "Did no one mention it to you before?"
Xue Lin didn"t answer him. Rather, she asked him back, "Why do I have to know from others? Is your mouth for decoration? If it is, remove it."
Ge Chen quickly surrendered saying, "I"m sorry, my wife. It was my mistake indeed."
Xue Lin frowned and pointed it out, "It"s not your mistake. It"s your habit. I don"t care if you are like this with others but if we are doing something together, you have to let me know beforehand. It"s quite annoying to find out something important too late."
"I see, I"ll keep it in my mind." Ge Chen could only agree obediently.
"Good, let"s go." Xue Lin let him go and they headed toward the reception party.
After they left, the maids started gossiping, "Young Mistress is so bossy."
"I know right!"
"She is so cool!"
The guests were already waiting for them. The bride and groom greeted everyone. Su Fengfei and Gu Xiali surprisingly noticed that Xue Lin was acting like a good girl. She wasn"t acting like a little firecracker. She was being shy when she was being teased by her cousins and greeted everyone with a warm smile. If Su Fengfei and Gu Xiali didn"t know her face, they would think that it"s her twin.
Meanwhile, Ge Chen visited every table where the guests were and toasted with them. Xue Lin observed that the guests were being overly formal with him. They even kept a respective distance. His striking feature was too hard to ignore. All the ladies were looking at him dreamily. Xue Lin was feeling proud for some unknown reason.
Her one female cousin commented after seeing her face, "Look at her smug face. I"m sure Xiao Lin is thinking, "Look, this handsome man is mine"."
Other cousins giggled and Xue Lin put on a hardcore expression.
Her male cousin patted her back. "Alright, it"s your big day. Don"t make that face. Smile as much as you want. No matter what face you make today, no one will say anything."
Xue Lin commented, "I just realized that I cannot smile with an empty stomach."
Her uncle handed her chocolate wrapped in green paper. "Eat it. You have to endure your hunger for a while."
