Because it turned out, after only one telephone name, Wu Zhilun very readily agreed to the request and was even awfully excited, saying he had by no means been requested to be a greatest man earlier than, in all probability as a result of he was too good-looking and the groom would really feel pressured from the stress that introduced.

Jia He was fairly speechless at this, however nonetheless she echoed his phrases. “Yup. I reckon should you’re the very best man, the bride will really feel lots of stress, too.”

The particular person on the opposite finish of the decision was very a lot of the identical opinion. “That’s true. I would like to debate that with A-Ze. To your wedding ceremony, I ought to steer clear of the highlight to keep away from placing an excessive amount of stress and stress on you.”

Her coronary heart gave somewhat skip. She wished to ask if Yi Wenze had talked about something.

Nonetheless, after fascinated by it, she swallowed these phrases again down.

Thankfully, Heaven bestowed its favour and the radiant solar shone excessive within the sky on the marriage day. The one pity was that it was deep within the winter and frightfully chilly.

As Jia He, sitting within the dressing room, took in Qiao Qiao’s beautiful look, she remarked with feeling, “For those who have been prepared to shave your jaw and chin down so you’ve a pleasant, sharp chin, you would positively go into performing.”

Qiao Qiao glowered at her. “On at the present time that I’m most psyched, are you able to not say phrases that I don’t like listening to?”

Jia He laughed. “The opposite day, I learn a saying on Weibo that I actually wished to ahead to you: ‘Normally, the particular person in your life whose phrases are the harshest and most callous is the one who cares for you essentially the most.’”

Qiao Qiao scowled. “Then you may solely rank second. Nobody can examine to Xiao Yu.”

Jia He very a lot concurred. Strolling over, she helped Qiao Qiao straighten her wedding ceremony robe. “In a bit, there are going to be six flower ladies. Stroll slower. For those who’re not cautious and journey, that will likely be an issue.”

Jia He had solely arbitrarily talked about this, however Qiao Qiao immediately grew to become paranoid and started discussing along with her how issues needs to be dealt with within the occasion that she did journey, even training the elegant postures she would assume when she fell and when she rose again to her toes. Ultimately, the make-up artist was overcome with chortles, in all probability having by no means come throughout such a zany bride earlier than.

Besides, what she had not thought of was that surprises are in every single place.

When the priest introduced that the couple might alternate rings, the elegantly-attired greatest man standing to the facet immediately, in very gentle voice, referred to as, “Qiao Qiao.”

Qiao Qiao paused in shock. The groom was totally stupefied.

With everybody’s stares on him, Wu Zhilun acknowledged phrases that have been imbued with deep emotions. “I’ve really all the time favored you. Once I agreed to be the very best man, I had thought I’d have the ability to offer you my honest properly needs—however I can’t do it.” Very slowly, he prolonged his hand to her. “You continue to have an opportunity to choose.”

For a second, stillness enshrouded the whole wedding ceremony website. Even the priest was round-eyed, doubtless solely having seen such a scene in films and by no means having thought that he, too, would have such luck to be a part of one.

One was a director who had simply acquired an award. One was a star and idol who had been common for greater than a decade.

Qiao Qiao’s life had lastly, on her wedding ceremony day, made an entire comeback…

She was quiet for a very long time, seemingly mulling this over…

On the head desk, Xiao Yu very wickedly checked out Jia He. “Are you the one directing this manufacturing?”

An “Ah?” slipping from her, Jia He requested, “How’d you already know?”

Xiao Yu was someplace between tears and laughter. “That buddy of Yi Wenze’s really dared to behave it out, too. However the precise phrases of the monologue actually sucked. You need to not have put a lot effort into writing that.”

Her face falling, Jia He was about to say one thing, however Qiao Qiao was already talking.

She first gave somewhat peck to the groom. “Darling, I’m sorry.”

Then she introduced her gaze, which teemed with deep love, onto Wu Zhilun. There was a way that she really was going to go away with him.

However to everybody’s shock, the subsequent immediate, as if she couldn’t maintain herself in any longer, she burst out in mirth. “All proper, simply say it: how a lot was the looks payment that Jia He paid you? I had initially wished to behave together with you, however alas, essentially the most superb man in the whole world is by my facet and he completely beats you. Like, crushes you.”

Out of reflex, Wu Zhilun rubbed his nostril. “Now that you simply point out it, she by no means did focus on with me what my look payment can be… Overlook it, then. I’m quitting this manufacturing.”

With this dialogue between the 2, everybody else clued in, and noisy laughter resounded.

Solely now did Qiao Qiao once more smile tenderly on the groom, whose face had gone by a collection of expressions, and end the second half of what she had been saying. “Darling, I’m sorry. I’ve stored some unhealthy firm and gave you a foul scare.” Cheng Hao pulled on the knot of his tie, his face nonetheless not having recovered its color but…

A grand wedding ceremony was thus kicked off.

Within the heat sunshine of winter, when Qiao Qiao positioned her hand into the groom’s and started this primary dance that she had dreamed about for twenty years, it was nearly instantaneously that she dissolved into tears. Deeply moved, as if this was all taking place to her personally, Jia He felt her nostril tingle. She watched as Cheng Hao held Qiao Qiao shut, talking regularly in her ear with smooth tones, however Qiao Qiao’s sobs solely got here ever fiercer till she mainly grew to become a blubbering mess of tears and forgot all her dance steps.

With a view to fulfill this first-dance dream of Qiao Qiao’s, Cheng Hao had practiced for practically a full week, and everybody had believed he can be so nervous he would find yourself making a mistake. Opposite to all these expectations, he now merely adeptly held Qiao Qiao in his arms and completely drew everybody into the environment of this primary dance.

As Jia He, her arms resting on the tabletop, admired this image, she immediately felt extraordinarily envious.

“Would you want to bounce?” A voice unexpectedly caressed over her ear.

Startled, she turned her head round and was met nose to nose with Yi Wenze’s smile. Her coronary heart started racing crazily. “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t have the ability to make it again on time? “

Yi Wenze solely smiled. “You don’t need to dance?”

Jia He gave him a plaintive look. “I don’t dance very properly.”

The results of this, certain sufficient, was that he pulled her out onto the ground. She gazed at him with slight apprehension. There have been numerous folks right here; regardless that they have been properly acquainted with a lot of them, there have been additionally lots of strangers and outsiders. This was his first time showing along with her in public.

Her eyes had been mounted on him for too lengthy, and, lastly, he introduced his face down and returned her gaze. “It’s your good friend’s wedding ceremony at the moment. Are you eager to be the star and centre of consideration?”

Jia He’s thoughts nonetheless had not caught up but, and she or he checked out him in bewilderment. He moved in somewhat nearer to her. “I haven’t seen you for a lot of days. If in case you have that thought, I received’t actually thoughts both.” That expression in his eyes, and in addition this specific angle…

She fell into full gloominess. “I’m the maid of honour. I must have integrity in my function. We can’t wreck the occasion… Qiao Qiao would hack me to loss of life.”

All the wedding ceremony lasted for twelve hours. On the finish, when everybody was partying away in drunken revelry, Jia He lastly gave a tug to Qiao Qiao and instructed her, “I’m leaving first. I can’t maintain up anymore.”

Qiao Qiao knew very properly what she was considering. “You go. You’re simply scared that your Yi Wenze goes to be destroyed by all of the gazes on him, aren’t you?”

Jia He mumbled some type of response, not daring to say that Yi Wenze had really flown two back-to-back legs at the moment to get right here on time and she or he was afraid he was too worn out.

After they arrived again at his house at night time, she straightaway went inside and started nonstop packing.

From upstairs to downstairs, she time and again rigorously opened up baggage, asking him if the contents have been okay, after which painstakingly sealed them again up once more and put them into the suitcases. Yi Wenze sat beside the bar counter and drank water. Seeing her staring anxiously at him, he beckoned to her. “There’s no should be so rushed. We’re not flying out till tomorrow afternoon. We’ll pack within the morning.”

It was solely with these phrases of his that she realized it was already the midnight.

Poor him. He’d been exhausted for an entire day and had nonetheless stayed along with her for an additional dozen or so hours at Qiao Qiao’s wedding ceremony… Stepping over to him, she took a drink of water from his glass, then softened her voice to ask, “Drained? How about we go to mattress?”

He pulled her away barely, filling some sizzling water into the glass. “Don’t drink an excessive amount of chilly water within the winter.”

Uttering an “mm,” she took the cup from him, clasped it between her arms, and, following after his each footstep, went upstairs with him.

As soon as she stepped into the bed room, a really outstanding feeling struck her. Their relationship had begun in Shanghai, however they lived in Beijing. She was aware of each room on this place, apart from his bed room, which she had by no means stepped foot in. Nonetheless, even along with her eyes closed, she might guess what it appeared like. It was the structure and inside color scheme that he was accustomed to. Barefooted, the ingesting glass cupped in her arms, she very contentedly evaluated his bed room. She gave a deliberate sniff. “There appears to be a girl’s scent in right here.”

Yi Wenze took exception to that. “One simply walked in.”

More than happy, she held the glass close to its mouth and set it down on the desk. Then, of her personal accord, she sidled as much as him and took his face between her arms. Pursing her lips in a smile, she flirted, “Properly, hiya there, good-looking fella. On the wedding ceremony earlier, I’d really had my eyes on you for a very long time.”

Seeing this seldom present of exuberance from her, he reckoned that she had been influenced by the environment of her good friend’s blissful event. Very cooperatively, he performed alongside along with her, slipping one arm round her waist and bending himself down nearer to her, however he solely gazed at her. After a while, he lastly breathed, “Males needs to be those to do the hitting on.”

When he completed saying this, he gave a faint smile, efficiently sending her coronary heart into overdrive.

One mustn’t so readily provoke actual, expert actors…

The following day, rain fell in a deluge.

Whereas packing away the final of the stuff, Jia He gave Qiao Qiao a telephone name. “You’re simply too fortunate. The climate you had yesterday was so good.”

Qiao Qiao made some moans and groans earlier than, after a while, asking, “Have you learnt what day it’s at the moment?”

Jia He closed her suitcase. “Sunday.”

There was silence on Qiao Qiao’s finish of the road. Lastly, she snapped aggrievedly, “It’s the day after I acquired married! The day after I had my wedding ceremony night time! Generally generally known as ‘the honeymoon interval,’ you already know? Do you get it?!”

Oh shoot…

Jia He knew that the particular person on the opposite finish had utterly erupted. Simply as she was about to say one thing after which quickly grasp up the telephone, Qiao Qiao unexpectedly added, “No matter. Contemplating that you’re flying out this afternoon and are simply too excited, I’ll forgive you. O great maid of honour, I’ve given you an superior trip reward. Bear in mind to put on sun shades, a face masks, and a hat if you go to the airport.” Dropping her voice, she continued, “One of the best is that if it’s a kind of wide-brimmed solar hats for the seashore. It must be sufficiently big.”

“… It’s not that critical, proper?” It was not as if Yi Wenze’s journey plans have been utterly clear to the general public eye.

“Who instructed the 2 of you to bounce out within the open yesterday? It’s a Weibo society these days, get it?”

Oh no, she was totally performed for…

She hung up the decision. Flusteredly watching as Yi Wenze got here down the steps, she shuffled over one little step at a time. “I’m performed for.”

He checked out her in wry amusement. “Completed for for what?”

Jia He anxiously clutched his arm. “In a bit, we should break up as much as go to the airport. From the second we go away right here, we’ll go in two separate automobiles.”

“Why?”

“I’m afraid of the media…” she defined truthfully. “For certain there would have been folks on the wedding ceremony yesterday who took photos and uploaded them onto Weibo. I’m scared that if I’m going with you, we’ll be chased and surrounded. It’ll simply trigger you hassle.”

He gave somewhat giggle. “You must get used to it.”

Used to it?

As Jia He took in his somewhat unconcerned expression, she grew much more tense. She had all the time been somebody accustomed to hiding exterior of the highlight. One of the best can be if nobody paid any consideration to her. That approach, she could possibly be relaxed and do no matter she happy. However now… for this New Zealand journey, which she had already been nervous about to start with, her coronary heart was already shuddering in panic from merely fascinated by how she would even get out the door.

Seeing her gazing at him, eager to say one thing however then swallowing her phrases, Yi Wenze smoothed her hair along with his arms. “As a result of that is the primary time, all people actually desires to know what you appear like. Simply be assured and open and allow them to take their photos. Then the subsequent time, it will likely be extra pure.”

She understood the logic, nevertheless it wasn’t that easy… What would observe was all of the shut scrutiny, issues like “Photographs of Yi Wenze’s Girlfriend Out and About Unkempt,” “The Two haven’t Seen Every Different for a Lengthy Time, Suspicions of Breakup,” and so on.…  Even imagining this was sufficient to emphasize her to her wits’ finish. No surprise so many individuals selected to maintain issues underground. There have been positives to every, however for her persona sort, she simply is likely to be extra suited to staying hidden away…

Whereas her ideas have been on this mad helter-skelter, Yi Wenze had already made the choice. “Honey, you’re marrying a well-liked idol. Now we have to offer some type of clarification. My followers are all very affordable and wise; they need to shield you.”

He was beginning to use a magnificence entice once more… Jia He sighed secretly, giving in to her destiny.

Ah, overlook it, overlook it. Doomed if I do and doomed if I don’t.

Her tooth clenched collectively, she mumbled, “Simply who’s marrying you? …”

His smile was very gentle and his response brimmed with profound that means. “Isn’t your purpose to ‘hold the wonder hidden away in your golden home’? I’ve been respectfully awaiting this for a number of months already.”

Jia He’s mouth open and closed wordlessly. Then, she totally wilted.

He’s not… going to have me be the one to suggest, is he?

This query swirled about in her head. Even after they had arrived on the airport, she was nonetheless pondering on what he had meant. However she additionally remembered what he had as soon as mentioned, that some issues, he needs to be the one to do them… Ah, overlook it, overlook it. She was not going to overthink anymore. She was simply overly excited after seeing Qiao Qiao get married. They hadn’t even been collectively for a 12 months but. Issues shouldn’t be transferring to the wedding stage that rapidly.

Previous to getting off the automobile, she, in nice seriousness, even requested A-Qing for a face masks.

A-Qing stared again with wide-eyed perplexity at her. “Boss’s Spouse, why would you need that? You simply want to face by Boss’s facet and also you’ll be like the feminine lead of a younger idol drama.”

Practically choking to loss of life on that, Jia He pleaded softly, “Let me off the hook, please? Hurry, simply hand over the whole lot you’ve that can be utilized to cowl the face.”

Beside her, Yi Wenze took a take a look at her and, discovering this all very comical, identified, “You’re not scared that folks will write, ‘Yi Wenze’s fiancée remains to be recovering from cosmetic surgery and wore a face masks to cover from cameras’?”
