A few weeks later, it was finally time for the wedding. Ni Ming"s anxiety could be spotted from miles away, much to her dismay. Her white wedding dress was mermaid-style with lace, flower-like designs st.i.tched all over. The beautiful dress was made up of silk and fully accented Ni Ming"s loveliness."Little girl, I"m so n-nervous!" Ni Ming stuttered. "What if he changes his mind at the last second? What if—"
"Ni Ming, please take a deep breath." Xiao Yunhua tried to soothe. Currently, Xiao Yunhua wore a simplistic, lavender short dress and her long hair was curled in lose waves. Her makeup was natural, yet her pinkish-purple lips added a hint of unruliness.
"I can"t! You know, after today, I"ll never be working as an entertainer at Riverside or anywhere else ever again!"
"Wow... Does w.a.n.g Yaowan know?" Ni Ming nodded at her question.
"At first, he insisted for me to continue to do whatever. His pampering ways are truly unexpected, especially with his status and wealth." Ni Ming smiled, "But I have decided to quit and take care of our children... if we were to have any."
"Of course you will!" Unexpectedly, this statement didn"t come form Xiao Yunhua. Both women looked in the direction of the voice and immediately noticed a dressed-up Mrs. Bao.
"Mrs. Bao, so happy to see you!" Ni Ming exclaimed. She tried to hug Mrs. Bao, but the old lady shook her head.
"Ni Ming, you wouldn"t want to ruin anything. Think of your poor stylists. They"ve worked so hard that they wouldn"t want anything to ruin your perfect look." Mrs. Bao gently scolded. Ni Ming nodded and continued to walk around, anxiously.
Suddenly, her eyes glinted with mischief. "Little girl, you did invite Zhou Lang, right?"
Xiao Yunhua nodded and Ni Ming squealed. "Oh my goodness! You know, I still remember our discussion with the tea. Even if you don"t harbor much feelings for him now, I"m sure you"ll grow to love him eventually. Besides, you"ve tamed the infamous playboy! And after that night—"
"Ni Ming!" Xiao Yunhua interrupted, her eyes full of distress. "I told you to not talk about that night."
"Oh yes, you and your lover boy don"t wish to expose your naughty rendezvous." Seeing Ni Ming drop the topic, Xiao Yunhua sighed in relief. To this day, they thought that she was with Zhou Lang. But luckily, she had managed to convince them to stay quiet about it. Xiao Yunhua knew they"d be so many problems if the exposure of her night with Zhou Feng was revealed.
Suddenly, Xiao Yunhua got a phone call. Excusing herself from the room, she went outside and answered. "h.e.l.lo?"
"Little Beauty!" Zhou Lang"s cheerful voice greeted her on the other end. "I was just wondering, between lavender and pink. And before you ask "why", just know that it"s a surprise."
Xiao Yunhua furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Alright, then I choose lavender."
After that extremely brief conversation, Zhou Lang told her that he"ll see her soon and hung up. Xiao Yunhua rolled her eyes at his antics and walked in the direction of the previous room again. But before she could step into the room, her phone rang again.
Not bothering to look at the name, she facetiously said, "Zhou Lang, why are you calling again?"
Silence followed her words. Xiao Yunhua thought that he hung up before a cold voice uttered, "Zhou Feng; not my brother."
Xiao Yunhua widened her eyes. How awkward! She should"ve expected this! After all, the man would constantly text or call her, almost like he was telling her to not forget him.
"Meet me at the penthouse again."
"No!" Xiao Yunhua immediately disagreed. "Once was scandalous enough. Did you ever think that it would be harmful to my relations.h.i.+p if we were to keep seeing each other?" Xiao Yunhua sighed and gently said, "Zhou Feng, simply texting or calling is alright, but if it were to progress any further, then..." her sentence faltered, but Zhou Feng knew exactly what she meant.
Once again, the ugly feeling of envy clawed at his heart. Nonetheless, he agreed. "Alright fine." And then hung up without saying goodbye. Xiao Yunhua felt the infamous heartache and headache coming forward, courtesy of the system. It"s constant warnings were a pain that she could never forget. What she thought was her imagination wasn"t really her imagination as the pain was chronic and constant.
Xiao Yunhua went back inside and looked at the time. Thirty or so minutes later, w.a.n.g Yaowan appeared and embraced his wife-to-be. He greeted Mrs. Bao and Xiao Yunhua, although his cold gaze lingered on the latter a few seconds more than necessary.
Xiao Yunhua turned her head away from his intense gaze and looked at the time one last time. It seems like it was time for both of benefactors to get married. The happy couple deserved all the happiness they could get.
