Chapter 312 - Insecure (1/2)
Muchen and Sara had thought that immediately they were done with the wedding, then it was a Zoom over to their honeymoon. But they had thought wrongly.
Before they knew what was happening, they found themselves in one of Changyu's hotel.
”Did you know about this?” Sara asked Muchen curiously.
He shook his head to show he had no idea what was going on.
They had just finished the church wedding that evening when Minde tricked Muchen into coming here with him, saying that Sara had a surprise for him.
Heya had also told Sara the same thing. Telling her Muchen had a surprise for her.
So they had both left separately while anticipating what the surprise was. But in getting here, they realised that they had both been tricked!
Muchen's phone rang with a call from Minde, who then gave him some instructions.
Once he ended the call, Muchen took Sara's hands and followed the direction Minde had just given him.
They soon found themselves in front of a door and when he opened it, he saw a large staircase first.
Still confused, he took Sara's hand, and both entered.
From the up of the stairs which they currently were, they saw what looked like a party, going on downstairs. And once they were in sight, everyone turned their attention towards them and claooed joyously.
They would have thought they were in the wrong room if they had not seen some familiar faces, and a familiar voice that began to sing Kerri Hilson's 'Knock you down'.
The voice was Heya's. And as usual, she was playing the piano while singing.
????'I never thought I'd be in love like this.
When I look at you my mind goes on a trip. Then you came in and knocked me on my face
Feels like I'm in a race but I've already won first place'????
Sara and Muchen looked on in shock. Never had they imagined that there was another party being held for them. They had simply thought that since they were hurrying with the wedding because of Sun, then it was best they did not waste much time. But who would have thought they still had a night party with every member present?
Muchen's eyes met Heya's who was looking at the both of them with a smile on her face.
”She really knows how to choose her songs well” He whispered to Sara before carefully leading her with him down the stairs so she wouldn't trip since her gown was long and flowing.
????'I never thought I'd fall for you as hard as I did.
You got me thinkin' 'bout our life, a house and kids, yeah.
Every morning I look at you and smile
'Cause boy, you came around and you knocked me down, Knocked me down????
Sara ran her eyes around the place, and stopped when she saw Heya. She smiled before mouthing a ”Thank you” to her.
Heya smiled also and what followed next, was a high-pitched melodious voice as she began to sing the solo slowely.
????'Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down.
Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you down.
Sometimes love comes around and it knocks you down
Just get back up when it knocks you down, knocks you dooown'????
Very slowly, she concluded the song. And as expected, cheers and applauds followed.
Heya smiled proudly. She thought she would never get used to this.
”Hey!” She said into the mic, obviously calling for the new couple's attention.
”I hope you both continue to only find excitement in each other. Happy married life to the both of you. I wouldn't ask for a better friend or a better elder brother. And Sara Wang... Or should I call you Mrs Li?—” She laughed, and so did everyone else.
”I love you so much. And I am glad you are my sister in-law”
Sara blushed and used a hand to cover her face.
Muchen inched closer to whisper in her ear. ”All my family members likes you a lot. I think it is unfair that your father has been glaring at me while your mother still gives me that scary look like she doesn't trust me.”
Sara used her eyes to search around for her family, and she soon found them. But Changyu was nowhere in sight.
And just as Muchen said, Jianjun did not look all too happy.
People gradually began to approach them to wish them a happy married life.
And though Sara felt uncomfortable, she just had to flow along. Once in a while, she noticed some camera flashes on them, but she paid no mind to it.
As soon as Heya stood up from where she had been playing the piano, Hoy approached her first.
”Ever thought of joining G-GLOBAL? You have the potential of being a music star!” He praised, which caused Heya to laugh.
She had never really been very close with Hoy and was surprised he actually made an effort to speak with her first.
”You never seem to let go of any chance to recruit people do you?” She asked back.
”I only offer those I believe are worth it. And with what I have seen so far, I think you are really worth it. Never would I have thought we had such a talent in this family until I saw the video were you sang on the street. And then at grandmother's birthday party, and now. If you hadn't been so isolated and all, we probably would have gotten along pretty fine.”
”I never knew you talked this much” Heya added with a laugh. She really liked it when people praised her.
”I'm glad you are better now. I hope we keep getting along. And don't forget to give me a call soon.” He offered her a handshake, and she willingly took it.
Once he left her, she saw her parents call for her from a distance.
She had wanted to go meet the new couple, but they seemed to be busy with a lot of guests wishing them well.
As she walked towards them, some young men and even some ladies could not help but stare at her.
She wore a long blue lace gown that had a long slit by the side which stopped just below her knee.
