685 A Million Times for You 47 (2/2)
She walked across the red carpet hand in hand with Lin Mingxi, following along with the Gu family to send their red packet before they reached the area where the wedding ceremony would take place.
There were names labeled on each guest seat so there was no free seating.
An Xiaoning found her own name and realized that beside her was Tuoba Gucheng while Lin Shishi was on his other side. Also seated beside Lin Shishi was Lin Junnan.
At the thought that she would have to sit beside Tuoba Gucheng later, An Xiaoning had inexplicable emotions arising within her.
He was the president now, and during the wedding ceremony, the camera would probably land on him for a longer time. Since she was seated beside him, it would be impossible for her to appear unhappy during the wedding. She had to maintain a smile on her face at all times.
Moreover, it was a happy occasion, so it would not look good for her to be sulking.
Luckily, Gu Beicheng and Lin Mingxi were seated behind her. As for Jin Qingyan…
An Xiaoning took a closer look and realized he was seated on the second row of the other side, which was not exactly far away from her either.
She retracted her gaze and sat there in an extremely poised manner.
Her legs were stuck closely side by side, and her body was extremely upright. Her wallet was clutched in her hands, and an elegant smile was plastered on her face. It was the whole aura of a demure lady.
But anyone would have known that amongst those women who were deemed as demure, An Xiaoning was definitely not one. It was all just for show.
Within half an hour, almost all the guests had arrived.
Only the seats beside and in front of An Xiaoning were still empty.
Jin Qingyan had arrived as well and had his gaze constantly fixed on An Xiaoning. This act of spying on An Xiaoning was captured by someone and put onto the internet, becoming a hot topic of discussion.
There were even netizens who made it into a moving picture of the side view of Jin Qingyan's handsome face looking at An Xiaoning, thereafter flashing a grin. Throughout, An Xiaoning did not turn at all.
Such a moving picture continued to be spread by netizens even after a long time.
While some netizens were astonished at how Jin Qingyan still had feelings for his old flame, others berated An Xiaoning.
The gist of what they were berating her about was how remarkable a woman she was to be able to be deeply loved by Jin Qingyan.
To them, the word ”remarkable” was a form of insult.
Three minutes before the wedding ceremony began, the most important guests finally arrived.
Tuoba Rui, Shi Xiaoyu, Commander-in-chief Jin, and Madam Jin entered.
Following closely behind was Tuoba Gucheng and Lin Shishi.
An Xiaoning and the other guests turned to look at them. Tuoba Rui's gaze landed on her, his face unable to hide his agitation.
His eyes gradually moistened as this was the first time he had seen her all grown up.
Her facial features looked extremely similar to her mother's. Looking at her, Tuoba Rui felt like he was seeing a young Shi Qingzhou from a few decades ago.
Shi Xiaoyu, who was standing aside and had noticed his strange behavior, concealed her anger and continued moving ahead slowly.
Ever since Tuoba Gucheng had entered the wedding venue, his eyes had been in search of the person he wanted to see.
When his gaze landed on the figure in red, his expression became full of joy.
Clad in a classic suit, his slender figure was accentuated.
His hair was combed upwards, revealing his handsome facial features.
His deep eyes were like that of a clear stream that attracts people's attention, while under his straight nose were his lips that were tightly pursed.
At a huge event like this, putting on makeup was a must.
Tuoba Gucheng with makeup on had even more outstanding looks that attracted people's attention. As the President of the nation, his presence made all the cameras turn to him.
Both the bride's and the groom's parents sat down at the row before An Xiaoning.
Shortly after, Tuoba Gucheng and Lin Shishi took their seats as well.
