Chapter 483 - Pre-Wedding Jitters? (1/2)

”Thank goodness I called Ying and she arranged the wedding planner so fast and efficiently. Or else, I'd been really worried.”

Qiu Meihui was coming down the stairs with Asteria when she heard her mother talking. Everyone was gathered for the breakfast and she silently came to sit beside her dad while her daughter, Asteria went to sit beside her grandmother.

Francesca smiled at Meihui as she replied to Zhao Wei, ”I honestly never thought Yan Ying would know a wedding planner. I was really surprised seeing the top wedding planner, Suzy standing before me yesterday.”

”As Zizi always say, Ying, knows all sorts of people.” Qiu Jiayi also joined the conversation before adding, ”But did anyone ask Xiao Mei?” Qiu Meihui looked up at her father who went on, ”You met the wedding planner yesterday, are you okay with it? Or should we keep looking?”

Qiu Meihui smiled bitterly, ”It's fine. How can Ying's choice ever be wrong?”

”But it's not Yan Ying's wedding. It's yours. So, your own opinion matters the most,” said Francesca.

”Grandma, is mom going to be a bride?” Asteria asked as she looked up at her grandmother and blinked her curious eyes.

Zhao Wei rubbed her granddaughter's head lovingly and nodded, ”Yes, your mom is gonna be a bride.”

”She's gonna wear the princess dress?”

Everyone chuckled at her innocence and Zhao Wei replied, ”Yes, she is gonna wear the princess dress.”

Asteria clapped her hands excitedly, ”Mom will be the prettiest bride.”

Qiu Meihui smiled at her daughter while Zhao Wei agreed, ”Yes. She is gonna be the prettiest bride.” Qiu Meihui's smiled stiffened when she met her mother's eyes. Seeing the love and sincerity in her mother's eyes, she felt strange inside.

Asteria jumped down her chair and came to Qiu Meihui. ”Mom, who is the groom?”

Qiu Meihui pinched her small nose saying, ”Didn't I tell you? It's your favorite Xiaoli.”

Asteria jumped up in joy as she exclaimed, ”So, now I can call him dad? He is gonna be my dad, right? I'm finally getting a dad, right?” Qiu Meihui's heart clenched when she saw her daughter's expressions. She knew how much Asteria was attached to Xiaoli. And she also knew how much her daughter longed for a father.

She hugged her daughter tightly and answered, ”Yes. Now, you can call him dad.”

”Yay! Asteria now has a dad. No one can bully me now!” She skipped over to her grandfather and tugged at his shirt, ”Grandpa, hurry up! I'm getting late for school. I need to tell everyone that now Asteria has a father as well. Get up!”

”Calm down, my little star...” Qiu Jiayi didn't know whether to laugh at her excitement or cry over the fact that she wasn't even letting him finish his breakfast? But then again, he couldn't turn down his one and only granddaughter. So, he left his breakfast halfway and got up saying, ”Let's go. I'll drop you off to school.”

”Dad, you don't have to...” Qiu Meihui spoke when she saw how her father was leaving breakfast.

”It's okay. I'm done. You take your time and concentrate on your wedding stuff. Leave the rest to me.” Qiu Jiayi patted his daughter's head before picking his granddaughter up in his arms.

Seeing them leave, Francesca remarked, ”It's a blessing that Asteria loves Xiaoli.”

”She sure loves him,” agreed Zhao Wei.
