Chapter 373: 372 decides to marry well for once

The wedding dress was beautiful and ethereal.

Uncle Wei said although it was a bit rushed, Wen Nian still managed to find a top wedding dress designer who spent an entire month designing and making it. Every stitch and thread were personally sewn by the chief designer.

She hadn’t tried it on.

The reason was that she really hadn’t made up her mind about whether to wear the wedding dress or not.

In her closet were her military uniform and her guard uniform, together with Wen Nian’s old-fashioned Xilin military uniform.

The wedding dress was already hanging on a mannequin, placed in the dressing room.

...

In the afternoon, Uncle Wei brought over the wedding ceremony schedule, and to Tang Xiaohua’s surprise, the entire schedule was very simple, without any tedious procedures.

"Young Master Nian is worried that you won’t be able to endure a grand ceremony, so everything has been simplified. Of course, if there is a particular part of the ceremony you’d like, just say it, and Young Master Nian will make sure it’s arranged perfectly," said Wei Yuandong with a beaming smile.

Tang Xiaohua huffed lightly as she looked at Wei Yuandong’s grinning face,

"Since when has Uncle Wei become so crafty and cunning..."

"Why do you say that about Uncle Wei?"

"Back then, when Wen Nian told you that I had lost the child, you stopped caring for me too."

"Really? Haven’t I been looking after you every day, fearfully ensuring you have a good postnatal recuperation?"

Wei Yuandong denied.

"Hmph... Anyway, you were deliberately indifferent to me back then. I could feel it,"

Tang Xiaohua grumbled, leaning on the table.

"Xiao Li, I’ve been looking forward to this day, hoping that you and Young Master Nian can get on the right track. What’s with these secret marriages and being separated by distance? It’s torturous for both. Why be afraid of standing in front of the world, openly and honestly?"

Tang Xiaohua was flipping through the wedding schedule in her hand, which indeed was very simple. Wake up in the morning, have a good breakfast, then get makeup and dressed and afterwards, get into the bridal car and head to the chapel for the oath-taking ceremony.

Then came the wedding luncheon.

After the luncheon, Wen Nian would bring her back, and as for the wedding scene, the bridesmaids and groomsmen would take charge.

She had never had a wedding before, but she had seen many and generally knew the process.

As for the choice of groomsman, it was quite surprising to Tang Xiaohua; the name written was Zhongli Wuzhi. As for the bridesmaid, it was still vacant.

"Xiao Li, who do you want as the bridesmaid? Miss Lu?"

Wei Yuandong speculated.

Tang Xiaohua glanced at Wei Yuandong, "Uncle Wei, I’ve never told Wen Nian that I would attend the wedding."

"Oh, I see. You want to embarrass Mr. President?"

Wei Yuandong said with a wink and a laugh.

Clearly, by this point, anyone looking at Tang Xiaohua’s response would think she was going to attend the wedding despite her equivocal words, as her actions and demeanor pretty much affirmed it.

Whether it was Wen Nian, Tang Xiaocao, or Wei Yuandong, they all thought so.

"He wants to hold the wedding, but I have been strongly opposed to it from the beginning,"

Tang Xiaohua muttered to herself.

Wei Yuandong looked at her and asked, "What are you still worried about in your heart? Even if there’s no wedding, you and Young Master Nian are still husband and wife, right?"

"...That’s right."

"Xiao Li, ever since you married Young Master Nian, Uncle Wei has felt as though there’s a knot in your heart that you just can’t untie, binding yourself tightly."

"..."

"Only by letting go of yourself can you accept others."

"..."

"Uncle Wei has known you for so many years. I know you have your boundaries, your thoughts, and that you are a person of deep feelings. So I know, you won’t let Young Master Nian’s efforts be in vain."

"Here’s the guest list for the banquet, see if there’s anyone you want to adjust,"

Tang Xiaohua flipped through the guest list listlessly; there were pitifully few names on it.

The Wen Family, from the oldest to the youngest, were all there, and then...

Tang Xiaohua took a deep breath.

Her father, Song Jiayu, was on the list, but no members of the Miu Family were.

Besides, there was the Vice President and his spouse.

To Tang Xiaohua’s surprise, apart from the above, the rest were mostly friends who were quite close to Wen Nian, and there weren’t many big names from the political and business arenas invited.

The list of invitees totaled less than thirty people.

"Alright, think it over yourself. If there’s nothing to adjust, I’ll go ahead and arrange everything with the current list."

"..."

Tang Xiao Hua stared blankly at the blank space at the end of the guest list.

Wei Yuandong had already left the room, closing the door behind him.

Tang Xiao Hua felt a bit weary and rested her head on the table, closing her eyes for a short while.

When she awoke, she found herself lying in bed, with the sound of water coming from the bathroom. She got up and walked to the window. Outside, the clouds were a brilliant red...

It had already reached evening.

The room was cool, but even through the windowpane, she could feel the heat from outside.

The water in the bathroom stopped, and not long after, footsteps approached from behind, followed by strong arms wrapping around her body. The scent of Wen Nian filled her nose.

"Woken up? Did you sleep well?"

"Mhm. Have you finished with your work?"

"Almost. Have you tried on the wedding dress?"

"...I haven’t."

"I put a lot of thought into it."

His lips gently brushed against her ear.

"If... I really don’t attend the wedding... what would you do?"

"Become the joke of the entire world?"

"Are you threatening me?"

"No. It’s your choice whether to come or not,"

Wen Nian said earnestly.

Tang Xiao Hua took a deep breath, turned around, and gazed intently at Wen Nian.

"What’s wrong?"

"I just feel that there are too many inexplicable, mystical things in this world."

"Like what?"

Wen Nian asked, wrapping his arms around her waist.

Like rebirth, like love.

"Why, after how I’ve treated you, do you still not want to give up on me? Am I really that good?"

She couldn’t understand.

If one mentioned the former Song Lili, although her end wasn’t happy, at least she started out pure, beautiful, carefree, and she loved him deeply.

The current Song Lili...

Was old and ugly, not even slightly resembling a fine lady.

Her heart was complicated, she was cruel to him, uncertain, both ruthless and apathetic towards him.

She acted contrary to his wishes and said the most hurtful things.

Wen Nian shook his head, "You have many flaws."

"..."

"But somehow, I feel these flaws are what endear you to me."

"..."

"I know you lack a sense of security, so I will give you everything that can offer you that security. Lili, my wife, won’t you accept me?"

Tang Xiao Hua looked at him, her hand involuntarily caressing his handsome face, and she asked with a light laugh,

"If I still reject you after you’ve said so much... wouldn’t that be too ungrateful?"

Wen Nian took her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing it tenderly, repeatedly.

Behind her was a large window; during the summer evening, the remnants of the sunset cast shattered rays of red light into the house, creating a most beautiful painting.

...

Since she had decided to marry properly.

There was one person who must not be absent from her wedding, and that was Lu Xiaoer.
