Chapter 2070: Wedding (2)
Time flew by like that. Before Dongfang Liuyun could react, it was time for the wedding.
Taking into account Dongfang Liuyun’s condition, Qi Lei did not arrange the wedding early. Instead, he mainly arranged it in the afternoon. The wedding invitations he sent out were also for a large-scale dinner at the International Exhibition Center in the evening.
Dongfang Liuyun slept until nine in the morning as usual. The night before the wedding, she went back to Tanshan Villa area. Dongfang Gan and Song Siting still hoped that she could be married off from home, hence, Dongfang Liuyun went along with it.
The makeup artist came early. After Dongfang Liuyun had breakfast, she let the makeup artist apply makeup on her.
Xi Xiaye came over too. Mu Yuchen said that they were familiar with each other so they could chat. Dongfang Xue came over too. The bridesmaids were Dongfang Liuyun’s cousins and some friends who had a good conversation, Ji Zitong was already quite heavily pregnant, so it was not convenient for her to go over. Su Chen would bring her straight to the wedding venue.
The child in Dongfang Liuyun’s belly was only three months old, and her lower abdomen was not showing, so she wore the custom-made wedding dress with her usual figure. However, when she put on this gorgeous wedding dress and put on some light makeup, she was devastating beautiful, even Xi Xiaye could not quite catch her breath at that sight.
Xi Xiaye’s hand that was helping her fix up her veil paused for a long time as well. She looked at her for a long time before she lost control and pursed her lips into a smile—
“I was saying that Qi Lei was finally loyal after so long. Now, I remember what he said before. He seemed to only be attracted to someone as beautiful and elegant as you. Now that I think about it, he really did follow his own standards.”
“I’m embarra.s.sed to tell you that I chose him back then because of his handsomeness. I didn’t expect myself to judge others based on their looks.”
Dongfang Liuyun smiled self-deprecatingly, yet her gaze was a little gentle, “But I admit it now. I’ve judge others based on their looks, if I won’t even be able to stand them at first glance, I might not persist. Xiaye, do you think I’m a shallow person?”
When she heard this, Xi Xiaye instantly laughed out loud. She thought about it carefully and said, “Actually, in the beginning, you do need some affinity, but after you’ve fallen in love with him, you don’t feel anything anymore. He would tolerate all of your shortcomings, and you wouldn’t mind his shortcomings. Perhaps, this is because of the relations.h.i.+p between the two of you. Relations.h.i.+ps are very wondrous like that.”
As Xi Xiaye said this, she naturally felt the same way. was she not the same before?
She had spent quite a long time before falling in love with Mu Yuchen. Perhaps he had fallen in love before her, and he had given more than her. She was touched by his tolerance and persistence.
“Your relations.h.i.+p with Mu Yuchen is admirable.”
“Doesn’t Qi Lei love you very much too?”
Xi Xiaye smiled calmly before helping her to fix up her veil. “You’re very special in his heart, Liuyun. I sincerely wish the both of you happiness.”
“Thank you, you too. As long as I live, seeing everyone live happily is my greatest wish.”
Dongfang Liuyun smiled happily as well.
‘Knock, knock—’
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Song Siting, who was dressed in a wine-red suit, walked in with a rare smile on her face.
“Liuyun, is everything ready? The parade of cars are here, it’s past two. Qi Lei had been waiting for a long time, so they should hurry over! Your aunt is down there, your father is leading you over. Do you remember the etiquette that you should remember? Do you remember the matter of throwing a few coins every time you cross the bridge…”
Song Siting explained nervously as well.
“I’ll remember it, Mother. Don’t worry!”
Dongfang Liuyun glanced at XI Xiaye in amus.e.m.e.nt. Xi Xiaye smiled. “Aunty Song, you’re a little nervous and excited too.”
“It’s my first time marrying a daughter, so I’m a little…”
Song Siting was a little embarra.s.sed.
“Hurry up and put down your veil. Let’s go out. The weather is just right outside. It’s not as cold as a few days ago. It’s quite warm. Your father said that today is a good sign.”
…
A long parade of cars filled the road in the villa area. Dongfang Liuyun, accompanied by the bridesmaids and Xi Xiaye, rushed straight to the cathedral by the sea.
There was a cathedral that was hundreds of years old over there. Qi Lei was waiting there, saying that he wanted to give Dongfang Liuyun a mysterious surprise. When he said it that night, Dongfang Liuyun even glanced at him and did not think much of it.
The car slowly drove into the auxiliary road of the seaside town. In front of them was a large stretch of soft and beautiful beach. The sea was sparkling, and Dongfang Liuyun, who was sitting in the car, could hear the sound of the waves.
It was almost dusk, and there was a gorgeous red sun hanging on the sea. The windmill in the flower field was still spinning slowly, and the street lamps on both sides were decorated with festive and beautiful rose ribbons, winding past, there was also a pink gauze.
From afar, they could see a huge arch made of fresh flowers. The red carpet was winding all the way to the high stairs in front, and then the tall and magnificent cathedral was in front of them.
The car stopped, and the bodyguard in black came over to help Dongfang Liuyun open the car door. Dongfang Liuyun also held the wedding dress in one hand and carefully got out of the car.
“Liuyun.”
Dongfang Gan stood in front of her. He smiled as he looked at his daughter who was so devastatingly beautiful. His eyes were filled with blessings and gratification, but more than that, he was reluctant to part with her.
“Father…” Dongfang Liuyun also called out to him softly.
Dongfang Gan lowered his gaze and looked at her for quite a while. After that, he took a deep breath and nodded. His voice was a little hoa.r.s.e as he asked very kindly, “Are you ready?”
Dongfang Liuyun listened and met Dongfang Gan’s gentle eyes. For some reason, her eyes could not help but burn.
“Father, I… I can’t bear to leave you.”
Dongfang Liuyun could not help herself.
“Silly child, what do you mean by not leaving? You’ll always be my daughter even after you get married. When you miss your Mother and me, you can always come home to visit. No matter what, this will always be your home, come back whenever you want to. You’re our only daughter…”
Dongfang Gan consoled her and patted Dongfang Liuyun on the shoulder. “You have to be a good wife in the future. Qi Lei is a good husband. I believe that he treats you well. You have to treat him well too. It’s not easy for him either, understand?”
Dongfang Liuyun sniffed and quickly nodded. She blinked and forced the burning in her eyes back. “Don’t worry, Father. I’ll definitely treat him well and lead a good life.”
