Translator: 549690339
Strangely, it felt so melancholic.
Song Zhidao reached out to wipe away his sister’s tears.
Song Zhizhi looked at her brother.
“No matter what the future holds or what happens,” Song Zhidao said, “our family, me, and dad will always have your back”
“I know.”
“Sister,” Song Zhidao said, “no matter what happens in the future, in my heart, you will always be the most important person to me.”
Song Zhizhi held her brother’s hand, “Me too.”
In her world, nothing could shake the position of kinship in her heart.
Only after losing it once does one learn to cherish it more.
Cherish it always.
Song Zhidao stood up, “Sis, you should get some rest, so you can look beautiful on your wedding day.”
“You should go to sleep early too.”
“Mhm.”
Song Zhidao left.
Song Zhizhi looked at the pale blue crystal bracelet her brother had given her.
A smile graced her lips.
At this moment, she suddenly felt very fortunate.
Her loved ones were still by her side, and true love remained.
Upon reflecting, a second chance at life was all she had truly wanted.
Such a deep, night sky.
Under the same sky, in a rather noisy place.
Yin Qin was singing. His voice was actually quite good, but he just didn’t enjoy singing properly. After a few drinks, his singing became all jumbled.
“Brother Yin Qin, why don’t you take a break?” Ji Baili just couldn’t take it anymore.
Couldn’t his brother have a quiet single night?
“I’m not tired,” Yin Qin responded, bouncing up to the microphone again.
Ji Baili was speechless.
Ji Baijian seemed used to Yin Qin’s unconventional antics.
So was Yan Zhen. He said to Ji Baili, “Let him be, he’S all alone.”
“Apart from my brother, everyone else is also alone,” Ji Baili chuckled. “Didn’t your brother say he was going to arrange your wedding?” “Ah ha.” Ji Baili chuckled, seemingly unwilling to say more.
Yan Zhen wasn’t a gossip either.
Suddenly, Ji Baili’s phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, he said to Yin Qin before answering, “It’s my sister’s call, she should be here soon.”
Immediately, Yin Qin fell silent.
Ji Baili smiled.
In this world, perhaps only Ji Baixin could stun Yin Qin.
And in this world, there was perhaps only Yin Qin who loved Ji Baixin so much.
Unfortunately, they were a tragic couple, where only he was in love with her. Tough!
He answered the call, “Sis.” “I’m here, which room?” “The Zunbo.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Ji Baili said, “She’ll be here soon.”
Yin Qin sat back down on the sofa earnestly, pretending to be at ease as he shared a drink with Ji
Baijian.
Ji Baijian was in good spirits today and didn’t refuse any drinks.
But Ji Baijian was a heavy drinker. Over the many years, they had never managed to get him drunk, no matter how much they served him.
“Are you going to have sleepless nights?” Yin Qin asked, teasing him deliberately. Getting excited at just a wedding photo shoot, wouldn’t getting married be over the moon!
Ji Baijian didn’t answer him.
But he smiled suddenly.
Was this spring in the air for Ji Baijian?
Or perhaps, an overflowing of youthful spirits?
As Yin Qin was about to tease him, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Yin Qin’s heart skipped a beat.
He knew Ji Baixin had arrived. However, he never expected that Ji Baixin would bring… Li Wenjun.
His face twisted with shock.
He was not the only one, the others seemed to furrow their brows too.
“Sis, why did you bring him along?” Ji Baili asked, his voice revealing his displeasure.
“I’ve never formally introduced him to you all,” Ji Baixin said.
Ji Baili turned to look at Yin Qin.
Yin Qin looked completely unfazed.
“Come on,” Ji Baixin pulled Li Wenjun along.
Their fingers were intertwined.
Yin Qin picked up his drink and took a sip nonchalantly.
“Brother, this is Li Wenjun,” Ji Baixin said.
Ji Baijian turned to look at him.
“Nice to meet you, older brother.” Li Wenjun extended his hand first.
Ji Baijian slightly nodded his chin, as a greeting.
Li Wenjun’s hanging hand became somewhat awkward. Ji Baixin naturally took his hand, acting quite affectionately.
“Baili, come and meet brother Wenjun.”
“He’s yours, not mine. I only have Brother Yin Qin.” Ji Baili articulated each word distinctly.
Ji Baixin’s expression was rather unhappy.
At that moment, Yin Qin spoke, “Please sit down, we all know each other. After all, tonight Baijian is the protagonist; let’S not steal his spotlight.” Ji Baixin turned to look at Yin Qin.
Her expression wasn’t quite good.
As if unaffected, Li Wenjun proposed, “We are here tonight to drink with older brother. Baixin, let’s join together in a toast for older brother, wishing him a happy marriage.”
Ji Baixin and Li Wenjun both picked up their glasses.
Ji Baijian glanced at them.
In that moment, he drank for Baixin’s sake. After he finished, Ji Baijian said, “Baixin, come with me for a moment.”
With that, he stood up from the sofa.
Ji Baixin bit her lip.
She said to Li Wenjun, “Wait for me here.”
Li Wenjun gave a slight smile, it was even kind, “Go ahead.”
Ji Baixin followed Ji Baijian out of the private room.
The corridor outside the private room.
Because it was the VIP area, there were very few people. Ji Baijian stated bluntly, “For now, don’t be with Li Wenjun.”
“Why?” Ji Baixin’s face changed instantly.
She had a strong character; she would resist things she didn’t like fiercely!
“In what capacity are you with Li Wenjun now?” Ji Baijian asked back.
Ji Baixin looked at him.
“As Yin Qin’S fiancée?” Ji Baijian asked each word distinctly.
“I will break off the engagement with Yin Qin. I can’t possibly be with Yin Qin, I don’t like him at all, why do you always force me!” Ji Baixin was very agitated, “What if Dad asked you to marry someone you don’t like? Made you marry any woman other than Song Zhizhi, would you agree?!”
“I haven’t stopped you. I’m just reminding you not to do this for now. Media is everywhere, do you want to experience the events of a few years ago?”
“The events a few years ago, wasn’t it all Yin Qin’s fault?!” Ji Baixin retorted angrily.
“Even without Yin Qin, the media would’ve discovered it and it would still be the same!” Ji Baijian’s voice also raised a bit, “Ji Baixin, I have no objection to your character and your pursuits, but some things, knowing when to do and when not to do, you must have some sense!”
“Then tell me, when can I legitimately be with Li Wenjun!”
“After the breakup.”
“When can I cancel the engagement?” Ji Baixin laughed coldly, “Would my dad let me cancel the engagement? Would he?”
“Yin Qin would.”
“Yin Qin?” Ji Baixin laughed even colder, “He will just drag me down!”
“Yin Qin is not as bad as you think!” At this moment, Ji Baijian was a bit angry.
“Really?” Ji Baixin looked at Ji Baijian, “Then why doesn’t Yin Qin cancel the engagement, knowing that I don’t love him, knowing that I feel nothing for him, why does he treat me like this!”
‘Your engagement concerns the interests of the two major families, any decision needs to be assessed, assess the value …”
“Brother, I’m not a businessman! I can’t consider all those things!” Ji Baixin interrupted Ji Baijian’s words, “I’m just a woman pursuing her own happiness. I thought that by bringing Li Wenjun to meet you today, considering you as an important family member, I would get your support. It seems like I thought too much. Just like my father, all you care about is money!”
Ji Baijian had a chilly expression, “Without money, do you think you can live the life you do now?” “I do not care for such things!”
“But you are taking it for granted and enjoying it!” Ji Baijian articulated each word, “You think we prioritize profit in everything while you, you center everything on yourself! When have you ever considered others? You scorn the upper class, you detest the machinations, false sentiments of the high society, you think you’re living above it all, in my view, you’re just foolish!”
“Brother!”
“In a love affair, you can be as romantic as the wind, flowers, snow and the moon, but once you have a family, you will realize what the so-called ‘money smell’ really means!” Ji Baijian said, “Think it through yourself!”
After saying this, Ji Baijian opened the door and went in.
Yin Qin was standing at the door.
Ji Baijian looked at him.
Yin Qin spoke, still smiling brightly, “The biggest advantage of this nightclub is that its soundproofing is particularly good.”
Ji Baijian didn’t expose him.
Ji Baixin didn’t look at Yin Qin at all in that moment.
She walked in briskly, took Li Wenjun and left straight away.
Yin Qin watched their retreating figure.
Ji Baijian said, “It’s getting late, let’s go back.”
“Don’t you want to celebrate a bit more?” Yin Qin teased, “Tomorrow, you will no longer be a single nobleman.”
Ji Baijian glanced at Yin Qin and left.
After that, everyone else left.
Yin Qin didn’t want to leave.
He felt, he could still drink.
He could drink a lot more…
Only this way, could he forget every word that Ji Baixin had said!
Sunday.
The day of the grand wedding.
Song Zhizhi fell asleep very late, and so now, she was really sleepy.
She watched as more than a dozen staff members entered her room, lining up neatly in two rows.
It oddly felt like an ancient princess’s wedding procession.
“Is it necessary this early?” She asked.
It was 4 0’clock in the morning.
“Miss Song, it’s necessary.” Said one staff member who seemed to be in charge, he spoke with utmost respect. “Firstly, we will provide a full-body skin care for you, followed by a thorough facial cleanse, a facial mask, hydration, and finally we’ll help you into your first wedding gown and apply an exquisite bridal makeup. This would approximately take 4 hours, and it would just be in time for Mr. Ji’s appointment.”
Couldn’t Ji Baijian be any simpler?
Song Zhizhi struggled to get up.
The staff quickly moved forward to assist her.
“I can do it myself.” Song Zhizhi was not used to such attentiveness.
She had a fair share of housemaids, but even they never reached this extent.
“It’S necessary.” The head staff member smiled the standard professional smile, “Mr. Ji said, you are the queen today, you should enjoy the treatment a queen deserves.”
Song Zhizhi couldn’t help but laugh.
Did Ji Baijian get infected by Yin Qin? He’s being so silly!
Despite her words, she found herself unexpectedly enjoying the attention.
She headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
“Miss Song, you should take a milk bath first.” a staff member approached her, “We have prepared everything for you, the temperature is just right.”
“I took a bath last night.” Song Zhizhi said.
“The milk bath will make your skin even smoother. You’ll be the center of attention today, we will ensure you astonish everyone.” The staff member said, “Also, Mr. Ji specifically instructed us to ensure you relax your body and mind throughout because today will be quite tiring.”
“Did Ji Baijian say anything else?”
“Mr. Ji said that tonight is your wedding night, he reminded us to ensure Miss Song is well prepared.” The staff member smiled, “So taking a milk bath will certainly make you feel more comfortable.”
Song Zhizhi blushed.
Ji Baijian really did say everything, everything!
“Miss Song, please.” The staff member politely pointed her to the bath.
Song Zhizhi cooperated and went to take a bath.
It was indeed quite comfortable.
Red rose petals were scattered throughout the white milk bath.
Ji Baijian must have plagiarized this romantic notion from the internet.
“Miss Song, please close your eyes. We will now perform a facial skin care treatment for you.” Song Zhizhi closed her eyes.
Subsequently, an elegant piano melody filled the bathroom. The soothing tune allowed her to relax, immersing herself as though she was drifting in a sea of clouds.
Half an hour later.
With the help of the staff, Song Zhizhi exited from the milk bath, dried off, and put on her first wedding gown.
The wedding gown was not the main wedding dress of the day, yet it was still incredibly luxurious and solemn.
The gown fitted perfectly on Song Zhizhi. The upper halter design was made up of several layers of small white flowers, with 8 layers of tulle trailing down from her waist. The tulle was not the typical white, sprinkled with white flowers on the waist and the lower half, which made it seem like countless small flowers cascading down her body, it was luxurious yet unique. Just as Song Zhizhi had finished dressing, there was a knock on the door.
Xin Zaozao entered from outside the room.
Gazing at Song Zhizhi and the crowd of people, she candidly apologized, “Did I come too late?”
“Not at all, ” Song Zhizhi smiled. “Just in time, in fact. You can give me some feedback on my wedding dress now.”
Xin Zaozao sincerely said, “It looks good.”
Indeed, it looked really good.
A staff member also complimented, “The series of wedding gowns and dresses that Mr. Ji has prepared for you are the finest I’ve seen in my many years in the wedding industry.”
Song Zhizhi was also in a good mood, she responded, “Let’s get started on the makeup then, and please help Zaozao get dressed and make up too.” “Of course, Miss Song, Please take a seat.”
“Miss Xin, could you please change your clothes over here?” Song Zhizhi sat down before the vanity.
Xin Zaozao went to change into her bridesmaid dress.
The bridesmaid dress was what they had tried on during the wedding photo shoot, but the wedding gowns and dresses Song Zhizhi was wearing were not the ones from the photoshoot.
Song Zhizhi thought Ji Baijian was quite extravagant.
A wedding dress was only worn once, it was not necessary to be so wasteful.
Moreover, each dress was so beautiful that she couldn’t decide which one she liked best.
Let her sleep in as much as possible.” Song Zhizhi suddenly said.
“Sure thing, Miss Song.”
At this point, Xin Zaozao had also finished changing into her bridesmaid dress.
It was a short white dress, with a strapless design that looked very playful.
Xin Zaozao was actually very attractive.
She was the kind of person who would attract attention at first sight.
However, Xin Zaozao was unpretentious and dressed low-key, so very few people noticed her.
However, once you do notice her, you’d be stunned by her looks.
Because anyone who took a closer look at her would be amazed why she chose to hide her striking features. It seemed as though she was intentionally avoiding attention. Because of this, the contrast was even more pronounced.
Her appearance left the staff in awe when she stepped out after changing into her bridesmaid dress. They couldn’t help but exclaim, “Miss Xin, you are very beautiful, and this bridesmaid dress suits you well.”
Xin Zaozao gave a slight smile, “Thank you.”
“Please have a seat.” The staff member guided Xin Zaozao to another vanity.
The vanities were all set up temporarily.
Song Zhizhi had no idea when they had set everything up. Her room had been transformed into a luxurious makeup room.
Xin Zaozao took her seat.
The staff member said, “Miss Xin, because we want to give you a bridesmaid makeup that complements the bride, we need to remove your existing makeup and reapply it. Is that alright with
Only then did Song Zhizhi realize that Xin Zaozao had arrived with makeup on so early in the morning.
And it must have taken a long time.
Her makeup was obviously very delicate and exquisite.
“She looks pretty this way.” Song Zhizhi spoke, she actually did not want to make things too complicated.
“It’s okay, I put on makeup to cover the wounds on my face.” Xin Zaozao seemed to be a particularly relaxed person, she said, “I apologize for the trouble.”
The staff nodded, “You’re too polite.”
Then the makeup artist came over and started to remove her makeup.
After it was fully removed, the makeup artist couldn’t help but comment, “Your facial scars…” Song Zhizhi turned her eyes to look.
True enough, the makeup had concealed them very well, and no one was scrutinizing Xin Zaozao closely enough to notice the long, red scar running from the bottom of her eye to the corner of her mouth. It made her look slightly fierce.
“How did it become so severe?” Song Zhizhi asked.
Xin Zaozao said, “I was careless.”
“I don’t believe you were so careless as to scratch your own face like that.”
“It’s not like that.” Xin Zaozao had never intended to hide it from Song Zhizhi, “I was careless and let Wan Quan take advantage of it. At the time, my bodyguard was not around, and I had a conflict with her. Mu Cidian restrained me, which resulted in Wan Quan scratching me.”
“Why didn’t you call the police?”
“Mu Cidian took me to the hospital immediately for treatment, but reporting it to the police would have been useless because there wasn’t enough evidence.”
“Be more careful next time.”
“Wisdom comes from experience,” Xin Zaozao laughed, “I won’t let myself make the same mistake again.”
“Um.” Song Zhizhi did not say anything more.
Some things are better left unsaid.
After all, everyone has their private matters they do not wish to discuss.
The two of them continued to put on their makeup in silence.
Luo Xiaolang came over half an hour later.
He was served by the staff, getting dressed and groomed.
Luo Xiaolang was in a state of confusion throughout the whole process.
Song Zhizhi even felt that Luo Xiaolang had no idea what he was supposed to do, so he let Song Zhizhi arrange everything.
It took a full hour.
Everyone was finally finished with their makeup.
Song Zhizhi looked even more beautiful.
She was undeniably the most beautiful bride of the year.
The staff swiftly disassembled the makeup table in the room and redecorated the room smoothly and quickly.
“Miss Song, it’S about time. Please take a seat on the bed,” said the staff.
Song Zhizhi was then arranged on the bed by the staff.
The staff carefully spread out her bridal dress, and then thoughtfully placed red rose petals among the white flowers on her gown, making her dress come alive, becoming even more enchanting.
After the bed was adorned, the staff neatly placed the white high heels that Song Zhizhi had taken off at her bedside and picked up one of them, “In our country, there’s a tradition where one of the bride’s shoes must be hidden. The groom needs to personally find it and put it on the bride’s foot. If the bride does not object, it signifies that she is willing to entrust the rest of her life to the groom, willing to follow him wherever he goes, regardless of poverty or wealth, sickness or health.”
Song Zhizhi chuckled to herself.
So, a fun red envelope grabbing game has been packaged by the wedding company in such a refined manner.
“Where do you think it should be hidden, Miss Song?” the staff asked. “As the saying goes, the harder it is to find, the sweeter the couple will be in the future.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course not.” The staff was serious but humorous, “The goal is to give the groom a hard time. The bride can’t be whisked away that easily.”
Ji Baijian mustn’t have given you enough benefits,” Song Zhizhi laughed. The staff was, surprisingly, quite honest, “There’s no harm in having more benefits.”
This is a typical case of burning the bridge after crossing it, isn’t it?
But still.
It’s meant to be a happy occasion, a playful game will only add to the joy of the day.
Song Zhizhi thought for a moment, “Hide it under my wedding dress.”
The staff said, “Okay.”
And the shoe was hidden.
Song Zhizhi thought that everything had been arranged properly.
However, the staff spoke up again, “Miss Song, do you want the groom to go through the pains of journeying to the west, or just to have him slay a few generals, or do you want to have everything sweet?”
“What?”
“In English, it means do you want to give the groom a really hard time, a moderately hard time, or no hard time at all.”
“Give him a really hard time,” Song Zhizhi laughed.
The staff answered in-kind, “Miss Song really has good taste. I will prepare it well for you. Rest assured l”
Song Zhizhi had a feeling that she was being a little mischievous.
But she couldn’t resist the excitement.
She watched the staff busily preparing everything.
If Ji Baijian comes, if Ji Baijian comes, will he turn green with anger?
She was looking forward to it.
Looking forward to it.
Outside the door, someone suddenly shouted, “The groom’s wedding car has arrived!”
Her heart suddenly beat very hard.
Song Zhizhi was anxiously looking towards the door.
At the same time.
The bedroom door was closed.
It was one of the steps in the Yanshang Country’s bride fetching tradition, guarding the door.
And just like that, Song Zhizhi was waiting….
