Chapter 348: A Blue Wedding Gown
When Lin Fei’er said she and Jiang Xuecheng were suitable for her novel, Su Wan immediately raised her chin haughtily.
“No, thank you. The novel you wrote are all heart-tormenting. You can deceive some readers’ tears but Xuecheng and I will not be willing to be the male and female lead.”
Lin Fei’er tapped Su Wan’s shoulders and raised her brows in disdain. “I give you an inch and you take a yard!”
As she spoke, she started to tickle Su Wan’s waist. Su Wan couldn’t stand being tickled and quickly begged for mercy.
“Your majesty, please have mercy on me. I recognize my fault!”
“That’s more like it!”
Seeing Su Wan begging for mercy, Lin Fei’er chuckled. Then, she retracted her hand and let Su Wan go.
“Alright, I’ll stop messing around with you. You’re going to be the bride tomorrow, so get an early night’s rest. If you were to wake up with a pair of panda eyes, you would cry.”
Su Wan hugged Lin Fei’er’s shoulders and leaned her head on it. “Please sleep with me. I can’t sleep alone.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Fei’er was speechless. Su Wan had been very independent in the past, since when did she cultivate this habit?
However, Lin Fei’er still agreed happily. Apart from squeezing and sleeping together during college, the last time was when she got married…
At the thought of her wedding, Lin Fei’er’s eyes darkened. She lowered and narrowed her eyes. She then put aside her melancholy and began to cover herself and Su Wan with the blanket.
Both of them curled up under the blanket. Su Wan tried sleeping for a long time but perhaps because she was too excited, she couldn’t sleep.
“Fei’er, are you asleep?”
Lin Fei’er yawned and shook her head silently. “Not yet.”
In the dark, Su Wan’s pretty eyes were widely opened and in her eyes were confusion and expectation.
“I’m wondering what Xuecheng will wear tomorrow and how my wedding gown will look like…?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Fei’er was shocked and nearly jumped up, “It can’t be true. You’re getting married tomorrow and you’ve not tried your wedding gown?”
Hearing Lin Fei’er’s surprised tone of voice, Su Wan snorted.
“Yup, don’t think that Jiang Xuecheng looks serious. He likes to be mysterious and surprise people.”
Jiang Xuecheng was not considered a romantic person but after living with him for many months, Su Wan realized that he was definitely not a dull and boring person.
“A show of affection.” Lin Fei’er pouted and then yawned again, “Don’t worry, when you wake up tomorrow, you’ll be able to see everything you wish to.”
Lin Fei’er paused and said seriously, “Wan, there’s nothing to be anxious about. You’d better sleep earlier. You can count sheep or hypnotize yourself.”
“Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.”
After exchanging greetings of goodnight, it wasn’t long before Su Wan heard Lin Fei’er’s even breath.
Su Wan pursed her lips and smiled. For a moment, it was difficult to sleep. So, she took her mobile phone and couldn’t help sending Jiang Xuecheng a text message.
“Are you asleep? I miss you.”
Jiang Xuecheng replied unexpectedly quickly. “I miss you too, my dear bride. Goodnight.”
“Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Goodnight.”
After sending the message, Su Wan switched off her mobile phone and started to count sheep attentively.
That night, Su Wan had a grand dream. In her dream, there were gorgeous flowers. Perhaps her dream was to show her that tomorrow would be better than her dream.
***
It was the first of June and the Chinese calendar showed that it was a day suitable to get married, to bathe, to sign a treaty of alliance but to avoid blessing, avoid offering sacrifices to G.o.ds or ancestors, and avoid making a new home.
On the edge of the sky, there was a little dew and a faint glow. It gradually dispelled the darkness in the sky and continuously scattered light.
There were many things to do today so Su Wan and her team had to get up early.
As soon as Su Wan finished cleaning herself, she settled her breakfast very quickly as if she was in a battle. Then, she and her younger cousin, Xie Xuan, were dragged into the changing room together.
Miss Zhou, the makeup artist, was employed again, probably because she had a unique makeup technique.
“Miss Su, we haven’t met since that day.”
Su Wan nodded politely at Miss Zhou as she greeted, “Good morning, got to trouble you again.”
Miss Zhou brought Su Wan to the front of the dressing table and smiled teasingly. “Not at all. I love doing makeup for you, Miss Su, and I don’t mind waking up early.”
This sentence was not just a compliment but Miss Zhou really liked Su Wan, especially when she recalled Su Wan in white with a bindi on her forehead last weekend. She couldn’t help feeling pleased.
Perhaps everyone who really loved their work had a special obsession with their work.
Today, Miss Zhou picked light makeup for Su Wan just like she had previously done. The makeup was delicate and light but she made Su Wan’s lips brighter and more vivid. It set off Su Wan’s thick black hair and jade-like cheeks.
After the makeup, it was time to change into the wedding gown.
The a.s.sistant makeup artist opened the box and immediately exclaimed in pleasant surprise, “It’s…a blue wedding gown?!”
Generally speaking, wedding evening dresses could be diversified but shouldn’t a wedding gown be white?
When everyone heard the a.s.sistant’s exclamation, they couldn’t help turning around. Su Wan was shocked too.
In an instant, a beautiful sky blue met her gaze and it was a shade of blue that one could not easily forget at one glance.
This was a pure handmade wedding gown designed by the world’s most senior wedding gown designer. Not only was the color exceptional, but its tailoring was unique too.
Layers of blue organza had an extraordinary texture. The train of the gown was long and it dragged to the ground but because of its brilliant design, it didn’t make people feel it was too heavy when they looked at it. On the contrary, it made the wearer seem slender.
The wedding gown was an off-shoulder design with a cinched waist line. The train of the gown was adorned with numerous dazzling fine diamonds and pearls and when the sunlight shone on it, it was dazzling and beautiful.
This wedding gown was indeed a beautiful work of art!
Some of those who were present and able to tell good from bad were shocked. Putting aside the design fees and materials, just the diamonds alone was of a frightening high cost!
Goodness, a wedding gown was not an ordinary gown. One could only wear it once in a lifetime, and it could only be used for display in the future.
The young master was too willing to spend!
Su Wan’s attention was not on how much the wedding gown was worth. Her eyes raised slightly and she looked hesitantly at Miss Zhou, who was very calm.
“Does it matter if the wedding gown is blue in color?”
The color of the wedding gown must match well with the makeup, so Miss Zhou had long known about the blue wedding gown.
Miss Zhou gave Su Wan a soothing look and she was smiling.
“Don’t worry, Miss Su. Blue wedding gowns have a long history. In the west, it meant quiet, loyal, and long-lasting, depicting that you and the young master would live hand in hand and grow old together, not abandoning one another for the rest of your lives.”
Quiet, loyal, and long-lasting?
Was this the reason Jiang Xuecheng had chosen a blue wedding gown?
Was he trying to tell her that they would protect and never abandon one another through this wedding gown?
