76 The Wedding 3 (1/2)
Jiang Mingyue sat in the bridal chamber in a daze. The wedding ceremony felt like a dream. Her cheek turned hot as she thought that she has now become Yang Yun's wife. Mingyue clenched her hands into a fist under her sleeve when she heard footsteps heading towards her.
”Master, it is now time to unveil your bride,” someone said beside them.
Yang Yun nodded. He approached Mingyue and slowly lifted the red veil covering her face. Then, he stared at Mingyue's beautiful face absentmindedly. The red color of the wedding dress against her white, dewy skins made her look even more alluring.
”Congratulations, Young Master, congratulations Young Madam,” the attendant said. ”Good wishes for master and madam. May you grow together until the hair turns white with many children and grandchildren.”
Yang Yun snapped out of his thought as the elderly madam spoke. His lips curved into a smile as he watched his bride lowered her gaze bashfully. Being stared intently for a long time caused Mingyue's cheek to turn redder as seconds tick away.
”It is time to drink the cross-cup wine,” the attendant announced.
A servant appeared by their side with two cups of wine on a tray. Yang Yun picked up a cup, and Mingyue picked the other. The pair moved closer, linked their arms, and drank their wine in one gulp.
Yang Yun placed the cup back on the tray. His gaze never left Mingyue. There was a lot of things he wanted to say to her right now, but he suppressed his thought as other people surrounded them. Yang Yun swallowed. He opened his mouth and spoke a word, ”wife.”
Mingyue blushed at his words. She bit her lips as she looked at the people around them. She looked at Yang Yun timidly and replied, ”husband.”
Suddenly, a knock sounded on the door, causing everyone in the room to turn their head towards the door. ”Master, the guests are waiting for your presence to join the celebration,” a steward announced from the outside.
Yang Yun frowned. His expression softened when he turned to Mingyue again. ”I have to go out toasting with the guests. It will be a while before I return.”
Mingyue nodded. ”Alright. You go first. Don't drink too much.”
