Chapter 19 - She Needs Trust (1/2)

Globe string lights in rose gold color were draped from the welcome table. A ton of Lanterns was hung from the hall's ceiling making it as a winter fairytale. The dangling lights along with flowers made a perfect atmosphere. Around 50 round tables with 6 seats each were set up in the hall. The chairs were decorated with sparkly rose gold sashes with a silk flower which added an extra layer of glamour.

Pedestal and floating candles aisle decor added a stratum of beauty and sophistication. The wedding arch was designed with flowing sheer fabric draped Chuppah with Flower Accents.

When Xu Mey entered the hall, Ye Jie had a cheeky smile. The veil they decided on last time was semi-transparent with embroidered flowers on it. It didn't give a clear view of her face but her aura alone was enough to leave people in awe. That slit down her knee was showing her long slim leg with each step she took.

Exchanging rings vows, all in all, the ceremony was long and tiring for both Xu Mey and Ye Jie. After the ceremony, they had to greet the guests but Ye Jie didn't let her take off the veil.

But Xu Mey ignored him and took the veil off her face. The guests were already in awe of her beauty.

"Miss Xu, this is for you," A girl in her early twenties presented a small gift to Xu Mey with a polite and respectful smile. Xu Mey didn't pay much attention to her and placed the gift on the table beside her.

After a while came a young man with black rimmed glasses. "Miss Xu, this is to congratulate you on your wedding." He presented the gift with a bow and left the way he came.

"Ex-boyfriends are on the run," Wu Wang tried to tease her but Ye Jie's expression halted his movements.

"Well, seems like I'm late on my little Mey's wedding."

"Uncle Wu!" Xu Mey was surprised and also very happy to see Wu Wang's father. "You said, you can't make it." She looked accusingly at him.

Uncle Wu chuckled and gave her a side hug. "I had to come. My little Mey is getting married. I had to see the rascal who's snatching you from us." Uncle Wu turned to Ye Jie. "Young man, if you hurt my little Mey even a bit, I'll be a very hostile person."

"I won't hurt her, Mr. Wu."

"You better not."

"Wu-Wong, what are you doing here?" Grandfather Xu and Father Ye came when they saw Uncle Wu.

"Naturally, I'm here to congratulate my little Mey." Uncle Wu replied in an obvious kind of way making Wu Wang and Xu Mey roll their eyes.

"You are familiar with Xu Mey?" Father Ye asked with uncertainty.

"She's my son's best friend for 20 years. I obviously am more than familiar with her."

"Ugh! Why are you here earlier than us?" They turned to see Li Man and He Kun with presents in their hands.

"Looks like I won this round," Uncle Wu laughed proudly.
