Chapter 194 - Lan Mo Xian’s Wedding (2/2)
When Feng Yi Xuan left to go to the front hall, Lan You Nian was still a bit dazed. She was a little looking forward to marrying him.
Lan You Nian, as Lan manor’s legitimate daughter, as the most popular and most noble lady in the capital, stood docilely beside Lan Jian Jun, witnessing Lan Mo Xian holding Hua Mu Qing’s hand as they performed the ceremony, witnessing them bowing to one another, witnessing a wedding as old as time.
Lan You Nian raised her head and saw Feng Yi Xuan sitting at the men’s seating area, his expression gentle as he watched her. It seemed no matter when she looked back, she will always see this man standing somewhere not far from her, tenderly gazing at her, never leaving her.
Meanwhile, Feng Xia Qi and the others only gazed sourly at the newly wedded couple. Because they lost the bet, they had to give out more money. When the groom was toasting, Feng Xia Qi was so angry he started to coerce Lan Mo Xian to drink more. It’s only a pity He Chu Yang and Gui San weren’t easy to deal with and let Lan Mo Xian slither away much earlier.
“Say, should we go crash the bridal chambers?” Yu Liu Li asked excitedly. They didn’t have much friend. Since they were genuine friends, so when a friend marries, they all felt joy.
{T/N: Crashing or visiting (if you prefer) the bridal chamber is another traditional chinese wedding custom. Usually the groom’s friends or relatives of the same generation would visit the bridal chambers and plays games, joke around and tease the bride and groom, so the atmosphere becomes more lively and intimate to help the bride and groom get to know each other, since the bride and groom usually don’t even know what each other look like before marriage}
“You should go back to practice pressing down!” Gui San said in contempt. He blocked a lot of wine for Lan Mo Xian tonight, so his words were a lot more straightforward. And he was a frequent resident of Xiao Jin Pavilion, so how innocent could he be? But none of them were sanctimonious people, so no one minded.
“Just you wait, I will be on top one day!” Yu Liu Li vowed, making all of them burst into laughter. Jing Wu An didn’t say anything, because no matter how tough Yu Liu Li was, he was always on top in bed.
The lively day passed quickly. That night Lan You Nian nestled in Feng Yi Xuan’s arms, she was looking forward to their own wedding. She wondered if she would be like Hua Mu Qing, feeling uneasy yet happy.
“What are you thinking about?” Feng Yi Xuan tucked Lan You Nian in, asking. Actually, ever since that event happened that night, a lot of times, he wanted Nian Nian to help him take care of his desires, but he was a little unwilling. Fortunately, as long as he left Nian Nian, he wouldn’t feel any desire, so most of the time the two of them didn’t sleep together. But for some reason Feng Yi Xuan wanted to hug her to sleep. Though he wished for this every night, he especially longed for it this night.
“Nothing. I’m just so happy!” Lan You Nian smiled. She was really happy. She had a lot of people who loved her. These people will find their own happiness. It gave Lan You Nian a wonderful feeling.
“Then Nian Nian, when will you marry me?” Feng Yi Xuan’s voice was slightly depressed. He glanced at the petite little one in his arms, sighing, “I feel like I can’t anymore!”
“After I’ve come of age, I’ll marry you!” Lan You Nian snickered. In Feng country, once girls reached the age of sixteen, they can marry, but a lot more girls married at fifteen. There were even some who married at thirteen, but that’s because those girls were chess pieces on the political arena.
“There’s still two more years!” Feng Yi Xuan muttered in displeasure. It wasn’t he couldn’t wait. For the girl in his arms, no matter how many years, he will wait, not to mention two years. It’s just after seeing today’s wedding ceremony, he didn’t feel like it was fair.
“What?” Lan You Nian reached out and pinched Feng Yi Xuan’s arm, huffing angrily like a little hot pepper, “You’re not willing to wait?”
Feng Yi Xuan allowed Lan You Nian her mischief. For him, it didn’t hurt at all. He liked Nian Nian showing him a different side of her. It made him feel that Nian Nian only belonged to him.
“No matter how long, I’m willing to wait!” Feng Yi Xuan didn’t know how to sweet talk but because he didn’t know, everything he said was from the heart. The most sincere was often the most moving and Lan You Nian was the one moved.
Feng Yi Xuan felt he was very greedy. In the beginning, he just wanted this girl’s heart to have him in it. After he learned Nian Nian liked him, he started to long for them to be together in matrimony, so they became engaged. And now he wished for them to get married. It seems, since meeting this girl, he learned to be dissatisfied. He loved her too much, so he was always thinking about letting the two of them be together forever.
“Sleep!” Feng Yi Xuan coaxed. He was reluctant to shut his eyes. He was greedy yet pleased…it seems after meeting Nian Nian, he’s become different. He had someone he cared about, had someone he wanted to knead into his life, blood and bones.
“Alright!” It only took a while for Lan You Nian to fall asleep. The corner of her lips were still slightly curled upwards, as if even in her dreams, she was happy.
