The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 285

Chapter 285: 285

Lin Jingran stood to one side, observing Tang Su as if she were admiring a piece of artwork. For the first time, she felt inferior in front of another woman. Whether it was being called a peerless beauty in the world of pleasure or being the daughter of Heaven Mountain from Xinjiang near Yili Lake, none could distract her. In her eyes, those were just pretty skins hyped up by men; they would shrivel up quickly as soon as something as tiny as a pinprick touched them and were utterly worthless. However, the person before her was different; she didn’t carry an oppressive aura nor did she have any arrogance to compete for supremacy. All she had was a tranquility so profound it seemed to seep into the dust around her, yet just this was enough to make other women feel inferior.

The craftsmanship of the old artisan was truly extraordinary. The brocade satin clothes clung to Tang Su’s skin like the soft and tender skin of a baby, as if they were naturally perfect. A bit more would have seemed bulky, a bit less would have felt devoid of spiritual energy—indeed like a flawless celestial garment.

"I wonder if Ye Tian will like seeing me dressed like this."

Lin Jingran said with a smile, "That stinky boy loves you a lot; no matter how you dress, he will like it. Moreover, you look more beautiful now than at any other time, so how could he have any reason not to like it?"

Zheng Xinru chimed in, "Little sister, saying this now, aren’t you just making us older women feel embarrassed?"

It was a joking remark, but aside from Lin Jingran, not many people around found it amusing, or rather, they didn’t dare to laugh. Tang Su glanced around and softly said, "Everyone has been working hard these past few days. I’ll thank you all on behalf of Ye Tian."

Just then, Liu Ling came in holding a red wooden rice pot. She lifted the lid, and inside were layers of steaming baskets. She took them out one by one: there were eggs, pastries, and some apples. After placing them all on the table, Liu Ling stepped back to the side.

"Ling, what is this..."

"I asked her to prepare this," Zheng Xinru walked over to the table, "A bride on her first day of marriage isn’t allowed to use the toilet, so it’s best to eat less food, hence only these can be eaten. After the wedding ceremony tomorrow, you might only have these to stave off hunger."

Tang Su obviously didn’t know these customs and nodded shyly after hearing Zheng Xinru’s explanation. Probably feeling that her presence was affecting others’ conversation, Zheng Xinru sat for a while before taking the initiative to leave. She asked if Lin Jingran was leaving as well, but Lin Jingran said she wanted to stay a bit longer and let Zheng Xinru go first.

Lin Jingran lingered there until eleven o’clock at night before she left. She had no other reason to stay; she just repeatedly reminded Tang Su of many details to pay attention to at the wedding. Some things she repeated several times, but she didn’t seem to notice. Tang Su also listened patiently to her until Lin Jingran said it was time for her to leave.

Who knows what she was really doing, staying with a bride-to-be. Perhaps, it was merely to reminisce about her own marriage.

After a night of intensive preparation and bustling activity, the bridal procession from Fengyu Inn finally set off early the next morning.

This was Shen Xuepei’s request. She said that Western-style weddings are abnormal in Huaxia and do not conform to the spiritual concept of harmony between heaven and mankind. Thus, she suggested that Ye Tian’s wedding should be conducted according to Chinese customs. Without the need for Shen Xuepei’s input, Ye Tian was already planning to proceed with a traditional Chinese wedding. So, early in the morning, he led a group of skilled friends to Imperial View to pick up his bride.

The car procession was incredibly luxurious, led by a Rolls-Royce with a line of Audi A6L wedding cars closely following. Then came a fleet of luxury cars such as Bentley, BMW, and Aston Martin—each one glamorous enough to host a small car show. All of this was arranged by Zheng Xinru. In every aspect of the wedding, everyone was paying meticulous attention to detail, putting their heart and soul into making this ceremony a classic.

Seated in the wedding car were the groom and his best man, Shen Jingwei. Pig Hu insisted on soaking up some festivity and shamelessly squeezed himself into the wedding car. During the ride, he took quite a beating. There was no helping it; Shen Jingwei couldn’t go a day without hitting him and feeling uncomfortable otherwise. Pig Hu had become experienced in taking hits; he knew how to dodge to avoid pain. Thus, instead of absorbing much festivity, he ended up receiving quite a few punches along the way.

When the sound of the door echoed, Tang Su’s heart clenched. After today, she would be a married woman, transforming from a girl into a woman in just one day.

Most of the people in the room were no longer young girls, with Liu Ling being the only exception. Yet, she was shy by nature and couldn’t bring out a lively spirit. A group of women in their thirties glanced at each other and awkwardly smiled, but soon after they opened the door for Ye Tian. Ye Tian felt secretly relieved in his heart, grateful that Chen Xing, that mischievous girl, was abroad; otherwise, there would have been trouble.

Tang Su quietly sat on the bed with a red veil over her head, while Ye Tian stood at the doorway, staring foolishly for a long time. Suddenly, to everyone’s surprise, he grinned wide, his bright white teeth practically dazzling everyone. Shen Jingwei rolled his eyes. Uncle, how did you become so silly? Pig Hu, disgusted with disappointment, kicked out, "You hopeless thing, look at that stupid face of yours! Go pick up your bride and move!"

Shen Jingwei gave him a look, unusually foregoing his usual bone-breaking mischief. Pig Hu smoothly combed back his greasy side-parted hair, looking quite proud of himself. Shen Jingwei immediately gave him a kick; this man was really asking for it!

There was no sedan chair; although the bride was wearing a red veil, if they started carrying a sedan chair from here to the city center at this moment, it would take them ages. Sitting in the solemn black Audi A6L were the newlywed couple, with Shen Jingwei and Liu Ling seated on either side. Pig Hu had no more excuses to freeload a seat in the car and was forced to follow Zhang Houtu and the others into the cars behind. Originally, he had wanted to be the wedding host—he was quite confident in his appearance—but everyone unanimously disagreed and literally kicked him out of the room.

Several times, Ye Tian tried to lift the veil to sneak a peek and was unmercifully slapped on the back of his hand by Shen Jingwei, forcing his hand back each time. Helpless, he thought to himself, losing one busybody in Pig Hu only to gain an overly involved big nephew. Being a groom wasn’t easy at all... Sigh.

"Mr. Ye, before the wedding ceremony begins, it’s forbidden to peek at the bride."

Ye Tian paused for a moment, then smiled at Liu Ling and glanced at Shen Jingwei before turning his head to look forward.

He couldn’t understand what Tang Su was thinking, why she insisted on having Liu Ling be the bridesmaid. Although the young girl always seemed very honest, Ye Tian always felt something odd about her. Shaking his head, he consoled himself that he was overthinking—she’s only in her teens, what could she do?
