Chapter 406 - The Wedding (Part 1) (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On October 10, the president of An Ning International, Ye Chen, married his princ.i.p.al secretary, Cheng Anya.
It was an extremely grand wedding that was like none other. The church, decorated by millions of roses, felt surreal and an intoxicating fragrance from the roses wafted through the air. Cheng Anya looked at the wedding grounds. It looked so beautiful to the point it felt surreal.
She used to hear a saying that went, “All fairy tales are merely fairy tales.” He, today, brought a fairy tale to life. Having Ye Chen in her life surpa.s.sed everything else.
She was satisfied.
As MBS International’s television station was the only television station covering Third Young Master Ye’s wedding, there were no other reporters on-site. Even the reporters from An Ning International knew their limits. Questions that should be asked and those that were off-bounds were clarified. Since they knew their limits, the scene was not as chaotic.
Long Fei, the hall master of the Dragon Gate’s branch in City A, and Number Six had men guard the four corners of the church. With eyes on every possible dead spot, there were even more concealed sentries with the intent of preventing anything that could go wrong.
Third Young Master Ye wanted to organize the perfect wedding. He would not allow the slightest mistake.
In the bridal lounge, Cheng Anya sat nervously. She was already dressed up in a gorgeous gown and wore the Rose Tear, An Ning International’s crown jewel, and her immaculate looks made her seem like an angel who had descended. She was so beautiful and people were charmed.
Li Yun and the young kid accompanied her in the resting room. Li Yun was in a silver bridesmaid dress and was gorgeously elegant and unmatched. Cheng Anya, in a bid to ease the tension, could only praise her gorgeous wedding dress and make small talk.
The young kid laughed and asked, “Mommy, are you very nervous?”
Cheng Anya nodded. Like any other bride, she was naturally extremely nervous. As she thought about how she would walk up to him later, her heart thumped. They had already rehea.r.s.ed the wedding ceremony in church yesterday, and she clearly remembered every single step but did not feel nervous. They did whatever the Father said. When she was walking toward Third Young Master Ye while holding Daddy Cheng’s hands, she even laughed. Third Young Master Ye said she needed to focus and gave her a dressing down. He even evilly claimed that if she dared to laugh during the walk-in the next day, he would slaughter her for not taking the wedding seriously. Cheng Anya was thoroughly speechless as it was, after all, a rehearsal and it was normal to be out-of-character. She, however, would not be laughing today. She was extremely nervous.
Li Yun shook her head and could not help but jab her. She said, “How unpromising of you. You’ve witnessed so much. Is getting married such a huge challenge to you? When you first snuck into somebody’s wedding banquet and helped yourself despite the non-invitation, you were not even this nervous! This is no major setting, and you’re facing familiar people. You are getting so familiar with your husband to the point there is barely any pa.s.sion left, so relax! Dear Anya, you are too stiff!”
The young kid tucked his lips and laughed. “Auntie Li Yun, if my daddy heard what you said, he would definitely separate you and my mommy.”
Li Yun sure was capable of such talk. Cheng Anya could not help but laugh.
“What did I say to warrant something as severe as isolation? Am I the plague?” Li Yun raised her eyebrows in immense unhappiness.
“You are getting so familiar with your husband to the point there is barely any pa.s.sion left. Is that something you ought to say to the bride? Are you goading the bride into running away from the wedding? You should not say that there is no pa.s.sion anymore. This exponentially affects the rate at which an emotional crisis develops. Also, based on my daddy’s logic, you will definitely be cla.s.sified as non grata. Mommy, is your darling child spot-on?”
“Indeed.” Cheng Anya gave her own son a thumbs-up. There was no other explanation that was even more spot-on than this, and Third Young Master Ye’s face would certainly blacken if he heard it.
“Am I not telling the truth then? Your child is already so old, and if this were a normal relations.h.i.+p, you would have reached the seven-year-itch now. Being pa.s.sionate in its first month is novel, but it no longer stays novel thereafter. This explains why divorce rates are this high. Young people sure are averse to the truth, and that explains why divorce rates are sky-high.” Li Yun feigned shaking her head.
Cheng Anya laughed and said, “Whatever you say makes sense. I’ll gift you the same statement, word for word, when you get married.”
“Deal! Save that for my marriage. That said, I do not want to be as unpromising as you when I get married. Look at you. You are about to break your pinkie, so stop twisting it.” Li Yun tapped her hands away.
“Mommy, who was the one who laughed at the scene yesterday?” The young kid teased Cheng Anya. She kicked the kid and said, “Children should stay out of this conversation.”
“Your mommy is getting angry from the shame,” Li Yun calmly said and then touched her abdomen. “Given how tightly this is tied, would there be any problem to the child?”
“I did ask the doctor, and it’s okay as long as it’s for a few hours. Once the ceremony is over, a change of clothes should fix it. It’s still small, so all is fine,” Cheng Anya said, motherly love radiating on her face. The child was only slightly over a month, so her bulge was still not visible.
There were steps outside the door, and the guards called Third Young Master Ye. Li Yun smartly kept quiet and the young kid smiled. When Ye Chen came in, the young kid said, “Daddy, what are you doing here when the bridegroom should be outside?”
“Do you have a problem with me seeing my bride?” Third Young Master Ye raised his eyebrows in laughter. Li Yun and the young kid smartly left the bridal lounge.
Li Yun grabbed the young kid and laughed. “Your daddy and mommy are really inseparable. Let’s walk around and take a look.”
“Okay. Oh, Auntie Yun, I have to tell you something and I will need your cooperation.” The young kid raised his eyebrows and smiled cunningly. He whispered something into Li Yun’s ears and Li Yun’s eyes went wide.
“What did you say?” She was extremely shocked. How could this be possible? “Why, my darling child, why?”
“Hehe. You will know in a moment.” The young kid mysteriously laughed and pulled Li Yun whilst walking forward. “Let’s watch the show.”
When the two of them reached the front, the wedding had yet to begin. Although not everybody was present, it was already crowded. Ye Wei and Eleven stood in a corner of the hall and watched on. n.o.body had any idea what they were talking about or joking about.
The young kid went over and waved. Ye Wei exclaimed, “Oh, my darling child, you look extremely handsome today.”
The young kid, in a black suit, was the flower boy. As he already had delicate looks, his clothes made him even more delicate and cute. Ye Wei and Eleven’s eyes lit up.
Li Yun said, “When he grows up, he will be even more gorgeous than Third Young Master Ye.”
“Definitely.” Ye Wei stroked her chin and smiled. They were now at a more visible place in the church, so they were able to see all the visitors entering the church. As they were chatting, the manager of the wedding planning company rushed over and said, “Miss Ye, we have a slight situation. Could you allow me to make a change?”
“What is the situation?” Ye Wei frowned.
The young kid was no longer smiling. If a hiccup occurred during the wedding, it was not auspicious. While he did not believe it, it was a cut and dry truth.
The manager of the wedding planning company said, “The flower girl has a bad stomachache and severe diarrhea. This…”
