Chapter 541 - The rehearsal (3) (1/2)

Jeremy watched as his men checked the sound system. He smiled as he crossed his arms. The men did not dare to play around and quickly make sure everything was working perfectly.

The elder men quickly went to greet the priest when he arrived. Jason also went with them to meet the elder man.

Ryn accompanied Mika who can stop chattering. Mika was so excited she could not stop babbling as she looked around. Despite mostly being decided by her mother and grandmother, the venue looked perfect. She loved it. She did not even mind that a lot of her requests were vetoed from the plan. She should believe in their vision.

”Girls, we can start now,” Jeremy called them once he received the signal from the men.

Mika and Ryn quickly went to the others hand in hand. Mika let Ryn's hand go and held Jason's hands.

The priest started to tell them what to do during the wedding. The wedding planner stood beside them and said a word in between. Jason gazed at Mika who was listening attentively. He looked back to the priest and smiled back. his hand holding Mika's hand tightened. Today has finally arrived. Mika would belong to him officially.

The wedding planner started to lead the rehearsal and helped them to practice what they were supposed to do during the wedding. Mr. Long and Mr. Wu already left, bringing along their wife and the Dowager to have some rest before the wedding. She watched carefully as Ryn followed behind Mika, pretending to hold the train as Mika walked toward Jason. She smiled hugely as Jason held out his hand to her.

”Calm down,” she told herself every few seconds, holding herself from running toward him. Be more ladylike and sophisticated. She wanted to look the best when he saw her walking to their future.

He took her hand and kissed the back of it gently. Then, they turned to face the priest who later explained to them what he would say and what they were expected to say.

Ryn who was holding the train before went to stand beside the bride. She looked at Jeremy who was smiling back at her. He gave a secret signal, informing her when to start but as this was a surprise, they would not go to the stage. Jeremy would be the only one who would go to the stage to perform as that was what everyone expected.

And Jeremy did just that. But he did not sing at all. He just played around with the microphone before he went back to his position as the best man. He winked at Jason.

The rehearsal continued for another half an hour before the two couples left the venue. The priest went to his room. In order to make the priest comfortable, they chose the next best room for him to stay. He would not have to travel too far for the wedding.

The two couples went to have their meals afterward. Jason teased Mika, saying that it was the last diet meal Mika would have because afterward, she did not have to go on diet anymore to fit her wedding dress.

Mika giggled as she leaned to his arm. She even pinched his waist for having fun of her. Ryn giggled watching the couple.

Jeremy and Ryn held hands as they watched Jason teasing Mika. The food came and was arranged neatly on the table. They ate their meal while watching the couple flirting.

”Are you nervous?” Jeremy leaned to her and whispered to her ear.

”Hmm...” she was nervous as it was the first time she would do this kind of surprise and in front of guests too. She was used to be singing with only the other three watching but today she would be singing in front of everyone. Ryn forgot that she actually sang when she was recording her third episode. As it was still unaired, she totally forgot about it.

”Don't worry. I'll back you up,” he comforted her. He knew which part brought nervousness to her. The singing part.

Jeremy looked at his phone when the light blinked. He smiled.

”They're preparing there,” he whispered to Ryn. He was not afraid that the couple in front of him could accidentally hear it because they were so involved with each other, teasing and joking around.

”Are they alright?” Ryn made sure she did not utter the word 'kids' so as not to reveal the surprise.

”They were alright and could do it. After this, they can have the rest they need, and then tomorrow they will be brought around sightseeing before they return home,” Jeremy explained. It was unfair not to bring the kids around the place after they needed to perform during the wedding. It was their reward as well as a hint of what they could enjoy if they determined to do this and work hard for it.

Ryn gripped his hand and smiled sweetly. She was glad that the kids were no longer suffering from the jetlag.

Jerremy did not bother to inform Ryn that he already reminded the caretaker in charge to give enough caffeine to wake the kids up. As long as everything worked perfectly as planned, she did not have to be informed of every single thing.

”Thank you.”

They spent almost half an hour there eating and chatting. Then, they returned to their hotel room to prepare for the wedding.

Jeremy did not take long to get ready. Once he was done, he went straight to the venue to check it for the last time as well as to make sure the kids did not lose their composure when they saw who attend the wedding. As Long and Wu were being united officially, there are reporters attending the wedding as well. It was Jeremy's job as well to ensure the reporters follow the rules they have agreed before they were allowed access to the ceremony.

He talked with the wedding planner for the last time before he went to have a short talk with the kids again before he went to meet Jason. He actually went to pick him up because he was worried Jason was too nervous that he would drink too much to calm down.

As he expected, when he reached Jason who was using his parents' room to get ready. His parents were laughing at him when Jason was unable to tie his bow correctly. Jason refused to get any help. He insisted he could do it but he was too nervous to stop his hands from shaking.
