Chapter 912 - A Simple Vow (1/2)
”Do I have to cover my eyes for this surprise?” joked Xiu when she led out of the house by both her fathers.
They didn't take her far, in fact, she was brought back to the house she had been living in for the last few months now. However, when Xiu had just stepped inside the garden, she was stunned to her place.
It was supposed to be a place she was really familiar with. She often took walks in this very garden with Darren. But today, the same garden looked so unfamiliar to her. She looked at the board that was placed by her side which read, 'Welcome to the wedding of Regan and Xiu. It's never too late to live happily ever after.' There were even small hearts doodled at the corner.
Right before her eyes were the aisle decorated with floral petals. Shepherd hooks suspended flower arrangement was done on both sides of the walkway. White and peach-colored flowers and green leaves dominated the whole setting. It looked like a dreamy garden wedding but it had a very intimate feel to it.
Xiu blinked the tears that welled up in her eyes as she looked at Darren in a suit standing right there waiting for her. She wanted to glare at her fathers for hiding this from her but when she looked at their smiles, she lost her momentum.
Xiao Li ran over and put a flower crown on Xiu's head. He tapped her nose saying, ”You're the most beautiful bride ever.”
Xiu scoffed at his words, ”Liar!”
Ah-Si also came over and gave her a loose bridal bouquet. The bouquet was made of light-colored blossoms, wildflowers, and ample foliage. ”Sister Xiu, do you like the surprise?”
”Shut up! Don't talk to me right now!” said Xiu as she held the bouquet and glared at him.
Ah-Si instantly shut his mouth. It wasn't that she didn't like this surprise. She was just taken aback a little. Adding on the fact that hormones were raging during this period, she was overwhelmed with emotions right now.
She really wanted to cry out but she also wanted to smile at how touched she was because of the surprise. But in the end, she was so conflicted by her own emotions that she was left in a daze.
She didn't notice when Dylan and Nora walked down the aisle together as taking the responsibility of the best man and maid of honor respectfully. But when she did, she couldn't help rolling her eyes at Nora's cheeky smile.
Soon after, the ring bearer carried the rings down the aisle to the altar. Xiu looked at Jackie and chuckled at how he looked like he didn't want to be the one doing this job but he had no other way out. Besides, it was his Sister Xiu's wedding, he had to take this big responsibility on his small shoulders.
Right behind him, Ava and Asteria played the role of flower girls. For some reason, Jackie slowed his pace when the flower girls joined him on the aisle. Xiu couldn't help laughing heartily at this scene.
She only came back from the high of this surprise when her fathers brought her to Darren who had been waiting for her at the altar. While giving her hand to Darren, both Xin Zimen and Xin Zemin stared down Darren.
”You, take care of her.”
”Don't let her get hurt.”
”She is a little crazy but you must not complain.”
