Chapter 208: Chapter 193: For Whom the Flower Blooms (Part 3)

"You guys hadn’t even settled the dispute when Qianqian came out, haha," Li Qi said unabashedly. "Just now, they were arguing about what color dress you would wear. Gu Yanzhi and Pei Yutian thought you would wear white, Pei Yuhao thought you would wear red, but it turns out you wore pink."

Luo Qianqian’s mouth twitched: "You all won, none of you were wrong, my dress color is pink made from red and white."

Seeing the MC already testing the mic over there, Luo Qianqian hurriedly returned the stool: "I’ll come and find you when I have a chance later, I need to go back now." With that, she picked up her bag and scuttled off, ducking to avoid the groomsmen who were searching for her with their phones raised.

"Were you out shopping?" Luo Shufan was about to go out to look for someone when he saw his sister running over with a bag in hand.

"It’s a congratulatory gift from a classmate, hold on to it for me," Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue. "Did Mom look for me?"

"It’s the Demon Lord of Mayhem who’s looking for you." Luo Shufan pointed at Li Menglin: "She needs to go to the bathroom, and she won’t go with anyone else but you."

"Demon Lord of Mayhem?" Luo Qianqian winced as she took Li Menglin to the restroom.

Luo Shufan rubbed his head and returned to the makeup room: "It’s true, Qianqian wasn’t such hard work when she was little."

"That’s because Qianqian was sensible," Luo’s Mom quickly defended her daughter upon hearing her son’s words. "When you were little, you were even fussier than Linlin, refusing to eat unless the veggies were cut just right."

"Was I?" Luo Shufan protested with a flushed face, not conceding.

"Later, after Qianqian was born, you gradually started to understand and started to act like a big brother," Luo’s Mom said with emotion, her eyes beginning to blur as she reminisced.

"Mom, you can’t say that in front of Qianqian. I am a good brother," Luo Shufan quickly diverted his mother’s attention.

"It’s about time for us to enter," Lin Jiayou knocked on the door and said softly.

Luo Qianqian had just come back at this moment and quickly handed over Li Menglin to Luo Shufan: "Linlin, play with brother for a while, sister will be back soon."

According to the process designed earlier, both sets of parents had already gone in, and the groom had arrived; it was time for the bridesmaid and the best man.

Luo Qianqian stood inside the venue with Lin Jiayou, holding a bouquet of pink roses, nervously smoothing her hair. Lin Xu was already standing to the left of the officiant.

"Please welcome the best man and the bridesmaid," as the music started, Luo Qianqian took Lin Jiayou’s arm and walked down the wedding aisle: "The best man for this wedding is the groom’s son, and the bridesmaid is the bride’s daughter, walking down the aisle in harmony, becoming one family henceforth."

After the ceremony, Lin Jiayou stood in front of the male guests, while Luo Qianqian, under the cover of her own relatives, sneakily slipped away.

"Brother, take Linlin, you and mom need to hurry to the banquet hall outside to prepare," Luo Qianqian said in a flurry as she dove into the makeup room.

Even though he had already known that his sister had changed the wedding proceedings in advance, and that as a son he would take the place of the bride’s father and personally hand his mother over to Lin Xu, he still couldn’t help feeling nervous.

At the entrance of the banquet hall, Luo Shufan extended his arm resolutely, and An Zilan smiled gently and took her son’s elbow. When had her son, who used to cry, grown so big? When had he become such a stalwart man? An Zilan thought, but she held back her tears. Her son and daughter were both wholeheartedly busy; she couldn’t add to the chaos.

"Now, please welcome the bride." The staff member inside the door opened the grand doors, and the light shone upon Luo Shufan and An Zilan: "In a woman’s life, there are two men who will deeply love her, one is her father, and the other is her husband. Mrs. An Zilan is different; from today onwards, she will have four men who love her. Now accompanying the bride down the red carpet is her son, with firm steps, guarding his mother’s happiness. Groom, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and welcome your bride!"

Under the floral arch, Luo Shufan halted his steps, waiting for Lin Xu to come over.

"I will bring happiness to your mom, and bring warmth to you all. The shelf life of this promise will last until our hair turns white." Lin Xu looked at Luo Shufan with steadfast eyes.

"My sister and I trust you; we leave our mother in your care." Luo Shufan nodded and stepped back, finding Luo Qianqian in the corner comforting Li Menglin.

"Not bad performance, just make sure you do the same when you get married." Luo Qianqian teased.

Luo Shufan pursed his lips: "You didn’t see it just now, mom was crying."

Luo Qianqian was startled: "Didn’t ruin the makeup, did she?"

Luo Shufan’s mouth twitched, wondering why his sister’s focus was so odd?

"Linlin is good, look, brother and sister already went up, isn’t Linlin going too?" Luo Qianqian continued to coax Li Menglin, this timid little bundle of flesh had been frightened by the speakers: "Sister will wait for you there, after you speak, give the rings to sister, then you can go to the table and eat."

"If sister goes, Linlin goes too." Li Menglin nodded towards the spot her sister pointed out, right below was mom’s table, she wasn’t scared at all, sister wasn’t scared.

"Now we invite the little angel bringing happiness to pass on the Thumb Ring that represents eternal promises to the newlyweds."

Luo Qianqian quickly placed the ring box in her sister’s hand: "Go on, don’t forget your lines, sister will wait for you over there." Then she nudged Li Menglin, pulling Luo Shufan through the tables to get back to their original position at the end of the stage.

Li Menglin obediently took one step at a time down the red carpet like her brother and sister had done, while An Zihua watched her little girl with camera in hand, continuously clicking the shutter.

Watching Li Menglin reach her spot, Luo Qianqian passed the microphone to her, whispering a gentle reminder: "Just say your part."

"Linlin on behalf of my brother and sister wishes Auntie and Uncle a happy marriage, a harmonious union for a hundred years filled with bliss, to be forever united, and grow old together." Having finished her speech, she was ready to leave the stage, but Luo Qianqian hastily took the ring box, allowing Li Menglin to leap into Luo Shufan’s arms and return to her seat; after all, with brother there, no harm would come to his little sister.

Holding the ring box, as she watched the bride and groom exchange rings, Luo Qianqian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With a face full of timid happiness, Luo Qianqian chuckled: Mom, Qianqian wishes you happiness.
