The arrangement plan of the hotel was selected by Luo Xiaoxi on her own.
Actually, the planning team had prepared lots of alternatives according to different perspectives, ranging from simple and elegant to luxurious and marvelous, or from freshness to splendor.
Luo Xiaoxi didnât care to overthink, and just chose an elegant and simple plan which she liked.
She really liked the style of the hotel and didnât want the design of the wedding to destroy its original beauty.
Secondly, as a model standing at the fashion frontier, she couldnât stand rustic rural styles in any case.
This arrangement might seem too simple to the elders and couldnât imply any status.
But it won the youngsterâs praise and admiration as expected.
Luo Xiaoxi held Su Yichengâs arm and pointed at the lobby of the hotel, âI chose this design due to my parentsâ pressure. How do you like it?â
âVery nice.â Su Yicheng firstly appreciated her choice. Then he leaned over and whispered to Luo Xiaoxiâs ear, âThere will be more praises when we return home tonight.â
Praises...
Luo Xiaoxi bit her tempting red lips and revealed some expectations through her eyes, âThere are still eleven hours... before night comes~â
Just an hour had passed after Luo Xiaoxi told Su Yicheng in the same tone that he could do everything he wanted to her after twelve hours passed.
At that moment, a spot in Su Yichengâs heart started to feel itchy as if something had swept by.
Luo Xiaoxi was then emphasizing that there were still eleven hours to go...
There was no doubt that she did it on purpose.
Su Yicheng puckered his lips. âXiaoxi, sometimesâtime flies quicker than how we imagine.â He meant she shouldnât be too daring.
Luo Xiaoxi definitely understood Su Yichengâs warning, but... she wasnât afraid.
âFor meââ Luo Xiaoxi smiled glamorously as she replied, âThe quickerââthe better!â
Su Yicheng liked this Luo Xiaoxi who was equally competent to him. He nodded and said, âGreat.â
âWell, could you leave the stickiness for when youâre alone at home?â There came Shen Yuechuanâs reminding upstairs, âThere are hundreds of people waiting for you on the second floor!â
The battle of intelligence and courage was temporarily over. Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi both quickly changed their expressions to step on the red carpet and walk upstairs.
The second floor was the largest guest hall. It was surrounded by transparent glass windows on all sides and was able to hold thousands of people. Not only could people see the beautiful view in the garden but also observe the busiest part of the city.
All the guests attending the wedding had been seated in the guest hall.
After Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi went upstairs, Shen Yuechuan informed the host through the interphone and a slow and gentle voice of a man was heard in the guest hall.
âThe bride and the groom have arrived. Letâs greet them with our blessings!â
Outside the hall, Su Yicheng signaled Luo Xiaoxi to hold of his arm. Under the watch of hundreds of eyes, he led Luo Xiaoxi on the red carpet and walked into the hall.
Those who sat close by the red carpet were all young men and women. They all held a bottle which could release colorful ribbons. Wherever Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi went, they could hear cracking sounds and then colorful ribbons fell down from upon their heads. With cheers, the hall suddenly became incredibly joyous and noisy.
The long carpet was soon covered with colorful ribbons and both Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi arrived on the stage.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The man who was hosting their wedding was the most popular emcee back home. He had great fame and elegance and was acquainted with Luo Xiaoxi since her Top Model beginnings. He wasnât surprised at all about Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yichengâs wedding.
The emcee uttered some blessings and it could be seen from his words that he knew Luo Xiaoxi pretty well. Instantly, someone asked, âMr. Ji, did you know Xiaoxi when you were in Top Model? Did Xiaoxi and Yicheng start dating then?â
âMr. Ji, tell us.â Someone added to the inquiry, âItâs not a secret when the bride started pursuing the groom, but they never said when the groom agreed to the brideâs request. Weâre very curious about it!â
The story about how Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi got together was not beautiful. During that period, Luo Xiaoxi almost lost her parents and Su Yicheng almost lost the chance to be with Luo Xiaoxi forever.
About that memory, neither of them would like to mention it. So neither of them had clearly answered the question about how they got together or when they got together. The result of their ambiguity was that there were more than a dozen versions going around.
Mr. Ji wore a mysterious smile and answered smartly, âI donât know the accurate time when they started being together. But I can tell you with certainty is that during the competition, the groom went backstage to find the bride more than once. When he didnât go backstage, the groom would watch the bride on first row.â
âDamn it!â Some people got excited, âXiaoxi, your relationship with Yicheng began by then?â
Luo Xiaoxi shrugged. âI wonât deny it.â
âWooâââ The people near the stage cheered.
Luo Xiaoxi continued, âBut I wonât admit it either.â
âAy, Xiaoxi, there are things you donât dare to admit?â someone shouted, âI donât believe it. You must have learned Su Yichengâs negotiating skills now that youâve been with him for so long!â
Luo Xiaoxi leaned her head on Su Yichengâs shoulder, âHis skills... You all want to learn as well? But, it seems that Mr. Su only wants to teach me.â
âThey are bold in showing off their love.â Some people covered their eyes. âI canât see it anymore. Mr. Ji, you should take over.â
Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Mr. Ji stepped out in time and quickly got the situation back in control. Then he signaled the waitress to pass the microphone to Su Yicheng. âItâs the wedding day. Letâs hear what the groom wants to tell us.â
Out of politeness, Su Yicheng simply appreciated all the guests and was about to put the microphone back when someone shouted, âWait a minute, Brother Yicheng. Iâd like to ask you a question.â
Su Yicheng picked up the microphone again and signaled a âplease,â as a way to ask the man to continue.
As expected, the question was pretty stiff, âBrother Yicheng, how do you feel after being pursued by Sister Xiaoxi who is such a beauty? I want to experience it too!â
Su Yicheng smiled, âDonât even think about it. Although there are six billion people on earth, there is only one Luo Xiaoxi.â
The young man who asked the question looked as if he were about to cry. âBrother Yicheng, are you trying to tell me that I canât find a wife who is as beautiful as Sister Xiaoxi?â
âYangyang, Iâm not saying it against you.â Su Yichengâs eyes slightly glanced through the hall. âI mean, anyone who wants to experience this feeling can stop dreaming.â
Su Yicheng didnât look angry at all. But the warning in his tone directly went into everyoneâs ears.
Su Yicheng had been preparing for this warning for a long time.
It was true that Luo Xiaoxi had pursued him and it was destined to be a joke to be told for eternity, but he didnât want to laugh at Luo Xiaoxi because of it anymore.
The way to make them stop joking was to tell them that he didnât like to hear this kind of joke.
Those who sat in the hall were all bright and naturally understood Su Yichengâs warning. They all smiled and stopped talking about it.
Mr. Ji observed the situation and added a few blessings to end the segment. Then he announced the beginning of the wedding and informed everyone, âI heard that no one has dared to get Mr. Su drunk in ordinary parties. Well, I thinkâtoday is a good chance for it.â
In the midst of the resulting laughter, Su Yicheng led Luo Xiaoxi down the stage.
Luo Xiaoxi said in a voice which only she and Su Yicheng could hear, âIn fact, I donât care about it. Iâve gotten used to it since college.â
When they were in college, some boys had been nice to Luo Xiaoxi but Luo Xiaoxi only replied with one sentence, âDude, there is someone I like and Iâve been pursuing him for quite a few years.â
In the beginning, not all of them believed her words and they just thought it was an excuse to refuse them. Until then, Luo Xiaoxi boldly pursued Su Yicheng, which shocked the entire school.
At that time, many people would tease Luo Xiaoxi every time they saw her, âHas Su Yicheng given you a chance?â
So, Luo Xiaoxi had already gotten used to it. Besides, it was true that she had pursued Su Yicheng for more than a decade. If they were bored and had nothing to talk about, they could joke about it as much as they liked. She could just laugh with them.
It was apparent that Su Yichengâs and Luo Xiaoxiâs thoughts were not on the same line.
Su Yicheng lightly said, âBut I care.â
Luo Xiaoxi smiled, âCan I see it as you being protective of me?â
Su Yicheng looked resolute, âYou are Mrs. Su now. If I donât protect you, who do you think deserves my protection?â
Luo Xiaoxi couldnât help smiling. âNice! Iâll take the wine for you later!â
â...â
Su Yicheng desperately thought they would have the chance to enjoy a gentle and soft relationship for their entire lives only if Luo Xiaoxi lost her memory.
In fact, when it really started, there were many people who would take the wine for Su Yichengâs sake.
The first table was definitely taken by Luo Xiaoxiâs parents and relatives, so the best men didnât interfere and just saw Su Yicheng toasting continuously with them.
The second table was taken by Lu Boyan, Su Jianan and a few good friends of Su Yicheng. All of them tried to get Su Yicheng drunk.
This was the time to highlight the importance of the best men.
Of the best men, Shen Yuechuan was the most familiar with them. It took him a few words to stop the wine. So Su Yicheng only took a glass while Shen Yuechuan took the rest of them.
The bridesmaids saw Shen Yuechuan drinking the wine calmly and his handsome behavior, so they whispered to Xiao Yunyun, âThe more you look at Shen Yuechuan, the more handsome you find he is. Donât you agree?â
There was suddenly a strange feeling in Xiao Yunyunâs mind when her expression still looked normal, âI thinkâyou have seen him wrongly.â
The bridesmaid stopped and then she smiled with some meaning, âWe saw it when we were in the auditorium. Youâre pretty familiar with him, right? Are you developing a relationship?â
Xiao Yunyunâs heart ran wildly and could hardly express herself accurately, âHe and I, just, actually almost had a fight...â
The bridesmaid shook her head, âIt didnât look like that.â
âBecause...â After a moment of silence, Xiao Yunyun still failed to make up a sentence.
By then, the table had been fixed. Su Yicheng led Luo Xiaoxi to the next table. Shen Yuechuan turned around and moved his chin in Xiao Yunyunâs direction. âFollow me.â
â...â Xiao Yunyun felt blank.
As expected, the maid pointed at Xiao Yunyunâs elbow, âHey, are you still not admitting that thereâs something going on between you two?â
Luo Xiaoxi wanted to smile but she just felt sad.
The worst state in a relationship had to be the feelings of doubt.
Dubious relationships were truly grievousâhadnât they heard about it?
