13 Chapter 13 : The Wedding 1 (2/2)

Yang Bo accomplished most of his tasks and he's joyful that his master is getting married. Like finally, no more awkward break up tasks for him. He kind of felt a sudden freedom. He's also very very happy that his master is getting married to a woman like Song Xiulan. Sophisticated, conservative, beautiful, smart and most of all kind!

”I see. Let me just leave the car keys and we'll go.” Xiulan softly said and smiled. It's good that Hongqi asked Yang Bo to fetch her. She was not feeling well from the lack of sleep and the coffee has now entered her blood stream. She might get a nervous breakdown later because of too much coffee.

As soon as they arrived in her hotel room, bunch of women with bright pink uniforms were waiting for her and approached her with such enthusiasm.

”Is she the bride? Very beautiful!”

”So gorgeous even without any makeup!”

”As expected from Xing Hongqi! He definitely will pick a bride in the same tier as him.”

The women chitchatted and praised her so much that it was borderline annoying already. Obviously they were showering her with too much sugar coated words. But deep down they were not genuine at all. It made Xiulan more exhausted. So early in the morning but she has to oblige to such treatment.

Is it really a requirement to have this kind of majestic beauty make over in a wedding? When some of her colleagues got married, it wasn't like this. But there was a huge difference since their husbands is not Xing Hongqi.

”Ugh. That man is so dandy!” Xiulan grunted to her heart. That man is so obsessed in making everything aesthetically beautiful. She remembered Hongqi sent too many overly expensive branded clothes to her apartment a week ago. He implied that his future wife should always be fashionable.

She understands why Hongqi wants her to be fashionable, it's not like her clothes were ugly but there's a deeper meaning. His exes were celebrities and decorated with luxury by him. It's a matter of 'how a man treats his lover' image and lowkey expressing his expensive taste.

He doesn't want others to think that he was stingy or unfair. After all, he is god damn rich. The more he splurge expensive things on his lover, the more people will think of his wealth and conclude that he's really no ordinary man. Clothes are also a way to indicate the social status of a person. Another socialite points for him to broaden the gap between him and the others.

Xiulan actually managed to see through Hongqi's greatest vanity. He always wanted to have that good and cool image. Even though he has countless of scandals, he wanted to bury them with other positive stuff like philanthropy, generosity, fake friendly façade, and humbleness.

She's actually not sure if its plain narcissism or he's trying to send a message to his enemies. Whatever reason it was, it makes her tired and overly pretentious.

While the women are busy with Xiulan's hairstyle, she started to doze off and finally got her sleep while they were doing their work. It was so relaxing for her when someone is touching or massaging her head.

The women giggled and started to whisper the gossips.

”I bet Hongqi's former women are now burning in jealousy.”

”Truly. Especially, Gong Yuming. That woman is a skank!”

”Keep your voices down. The Miss is sleeping.”

”But I'm really surprised that Hongqi married a simple woman. Though from a very rich and powerful political family, she's really humble.”

”Very different from Hongqi's type, to be honest.”

”Wanna bet? They will get a divorce because of incompatibility.”

”I'm betting my salary for next month.”

”Me too! Me too!”

The women started betting and giggling. Unbeknownst to them, Xiulan is not actually fast asleep. She only rested her eyes and somewhat in a dreamlike state but she can still actually hear her surroundings. Maybe it was her instinct that she was not with familiar people.

She also wanted to join that bet but of course she can't. Kidding aside, divorce is a not a good idea for the both of them since there is a huge money involved. As much as she wants to divorce and escape from him, she really can't with that huge compensation.

Whenever she remembers the reason why she has to oblige with Hongqi's ridiculous plans, she starts to curse her father for being stupid. But at the same time pity him since his daughters were no good.

The women suddenly became quiet and softly murmured and bowed their heads in unison. ”Good morning, Master Xing.”

Xiulan thought that it might be Hongqi. But when she opened her eyes, she saw an older version of Hongqi.
