Chapter 355: I Can’t Drink
At the mention of this matter by Lin Xuan, everyone’s eyes were on Su Wan’s stomach.
Luo Xiuxiu agreed with what Lin Xuan said, “That’s right! We, the old men and grannies, are looking forward to a great-grandchild. Xuechang and Wan, both of you must work hard!”
Xu Ziyao, who had been quiet, nodded too. Obviously, she placed importance in this matter.
Su Wan was embarra.s.sed by the topic. She lowered her eyes and dared not look at anyone.
With his arms around Su Wan’s shoulders, Jiang Xuecheng said magnanimously, “I expect you’ll hear good news by this year.”
Hearing Jiang Xuecheng’s big talk, Su Wan pinched his arm hard but he did not feel anything. There was a smile on his lips.
“Good, I’m looking forward to seeing you and Wan’s children while I’m still alive. It would be good and be it a boy or a girl, I’m sure the child will be bright and beautiful.”
Her granddaughter and grandson-in-law were both good-looking. Their children will definitely be charming from a young age.
Lin Xuan imagined the scene and couldn’t help smiling gratifyingly.
Her biggest wish back then had been to see Su Wan get married. Now that her wish had been fulfilled, greed arose once again and she wanted to see Su Wan’s and Jiang Xuecheng’s children.
Lin Xuan leaned against Xie Changfeng and a faint light flashed through her old eyes.
When Lin Xuan mentioned ‘while I’m still alive’, it was hard for her to avoid feeling sad.
In all these years, her health had been deteriorating. She didn’t know when she would let go of the trivial things in life and leave the world.
Su Wan saw Lin Xuan’s sad look and her eyes were red. She quickly broke away from Jiang Xuecheng’s grip and walked toward Lin Xuan.
“Grandmother, you and Grandfather will live a long life and see our children grow up.”
Lin Xuan choked as she nodded. There was a smile on her kind face.
“I hope so too.”
Lin Xuan raised her hand with effort and caressed Su Wan’s hair. Then, she waved at Jiang Xuecheng to summon him.
“Wan has been spoiled since young, so her temper isn’t the best. She has many shortcomings too and it’ll be hard on you to embrace her in the future. Looking at both of you so much in love, I’m relieved. Both of you must put in effort for this relations.h.i.+p to work. I hope you’ll take care of one another and if there are any knots that can’t be untangled or if Wan does something wrong, you must tell Grandmother. I’ll help you teach her a lesson.”
“Grandmother…”
When Lin Xuan said her temper wasn’t good and that she would help Jiang Xuecheng teach her a lesson, Su Wan felt awkward. However, she knew that her grandmother meant well.
Luo Xiuxiu smiled, “Wan isn’t bad-tempered. Xuecheng’s temper is like a rock, hard and cold. It’ll be hard on Wan to embrace him, actually.”
When both families mentioned their grandchildren’s weaknesses, Su Wan felt awkward.
She couldn’t help looking at Jiang Xuecheng and exchange glances with him. Only then did she realize that her husband was extremely calm, obviously used to hearing Luo Xiuxiu’s complaints about him.
However, seeing the seniors getting along well, Su Wan was very happy.
***
The wedding dinner was held at Fenghuangtai Hotel and there was no change in the guest list.
When Su Wan returned to the hotel, she couldn’t bear to change out of her blue wedding gown.
It was such a pity. Such a beautiful wedding gown would have to be kept in the closet in the future and couldn’t be taken out to wear again.
Jiang Xuecheng could read Su Wan’s mind. “Reluctant to change?”
“How did you know? Did I show it obviously on my face?”
Su Wan darted a glance at Jiang Xuecheng in shock but the man was calm as he was sipping his Longjing Tea.
“Do you still have to ask? Every expression of yours reveals your love for this wedding gown. If you really like it, I’ll get someone to use the design and make it into a dress for you.”
Su Wan was touched. Her hand brushed across the blue wedding gown and there was a hard-to-give-up look in her eyes.
“No, thank you. Some things are better remained unique. In retrospect, it would be wonderful.”
Su Wan paused. She curved her lips and smiled. With a serious look, she said, “Xuecheng, thank you. I like everything you’ve done for me today.”
Su Wan had once imagined what kind of wedding would be better.
Would it be a Chinese traditional wedding, a church wedding, an ocean wedding, a cruise s.h.i.+p wedding or a wedding where they go on a trip without anyone’s disturbance…
Later, she found out that as long as it was given by him, there would never be a lack of surprise.
Because they loved one another, everything seemed so perfect.
“I’ve said you don’t have to say thank you.”
Jiang Xuecheng shook his head helplessly and then stretched out his hand to brush the hair beside her cheeks.
“Wan Wan, go and change into an evening gown, something lighter. This wedding gown is heavy, isn’t it?”
Su Wan was taken aback. She didn’t expect Jiang Xuecheng to notice this.
When she saw Jiang Xuecheng rubbing his wedding ring on his left ring finger from time to time, Su Wan couldn’t help touching her wedding ring too.
It was the unique symbol of their love…
At the thought of this, the warmth in Su Wan’s heart kept spreading and she felt light.
“Alright, I’ll go get changed. You may go to the hall to entertain the guests first.”
As Su Wan spoke, she walked into the changing room. Her eyes swept across the evening gowns which were either gorgeous or simple and was about to pick one.
Initially, she liked a white V-neck gown but she didn’t know why the image of Sheng An’ning in white appeared in her mind.
Su Wan’s eyes darkened and finally, she picked a rose red evening gown.
Su Wan preferred light-colored clothes and seldom wore clothing of such rich colors. However, it was her wedding day today and looking at the dazzling red, she thought it very much suited the occasion.
Su Wan took a lot of effort to remove the blue wedding gown.
In the hotel hall, the party atmosphere was in full swing.
Lan Yue, a famous international pianist, was playing at the edge of the stage. Many male guests had invited their female partners to dance in the middle of the dance floor.
After Su Wan had changed, she walked into the hall again and in an instant, she attracted the entire audience.
Their hearts seemed to have connected the minute she walked in. Jiang Xuecheng, who was surrounded by people, raised his head and met her clear eyes.
Jiang Xuecheng smiled and nodded at the surrounding guests. Then, he held the goblet in his hand and made big strides toward Su Wan.
When everyone saw Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng standing together like a beautiful couple, they made a lot of noise.
“It’s such a great day. Young Master and Young Madam, may I propose a toast? I’ll drink first to show my respect!”
Before his voice died down, the guest who had proposed a toast drank every drop of the wine in his gla.s.s.
With this man leading, very quickly, many others came proposing a toast.
Su Wan took a look at Jiang Xuecheng as if seeking for help. Feeling embarra.s.sed, she explained to the surrounding guests, “I’m sorry, I can’t drink…”
