Chapter 1995: Chapter 1996: The Wedding of the Century
The wedding hasn’t started yet, and Rong Yan was placed in the lounge.
Not long after, Gu Linxi came to accompany her.
The Lin Family members were all outside waiting for the groom to greet the guests with them. Li Shengxiao had been urged several times to leave her on the bed, crouching down to put her shoes on before looking up, “I’ll go out to greet the guests first, see you later.”
Rong Yan’s toes shyly curled, her face reddened, too embarrassed to look at him, hurriedly nodding, “You go ahead, see you later.”
The girl’s skin fairer than snow, her eyelashes lowered, her pupils like clear water reflecting his image, made Li Shengxiao feel both warm and excited. He stood up, leaned down, and planted a kiss on her forehead, hovering briefly before moving away, releasing her hand as his throat bobbed, “Darling, wait for me.”
As soon as he left,
Not long after, Chu Aotian came to escort her.
Rong Yan vaguely heard the music outside, and she stood outside the hall doors, holding onto the tall man’s arm.
The doors were tightly shut, and she couldn’t see inside.
All she could hear was the voice of the host.
“On this sunny, beautiful day, let’s welcome the bride to the stage…”
Despite telling herself not to be nervous, Rong Yan couldn’t help but hold her breath, showing a hint of tension on her face.
Wedding… marriage… These words seemed so distant to her just yesterday, totally unrelated to her. Yet in just half a month, she had become the heroine of a wedding.
She’s getting married.
She hadn’t been nervous in the morning, but now Rong Yan inexplicably started to get nervous, perhaps due to the intense atmosphere created by the music, or maybe it was because the suddenly closed doors opened… She couldn’t quite put her finger on why everything before her eyes seemed so unreal.
Just when she was in a daze, suddenly, someone patted the back of her hand, saying steadily, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Rong Yan snapped out of her daze, meeting a pair of tea-colored eyes.
Chu Aotian must have been very handsome in his youth, and even at an older age, he still exuded a mature charm.
Rong Yan didn’t see any of her own reflection in him, but she had looked in the mirror and knew that she resembled Jiang Chenyue more. If she had to say where she inherited the Chu Family genes, it would probably be the color of her eyes.
Her eyes, like those of Chu Aotian and Qin Jun, were an authentic tea color. From a distance, they looked no different from the black pupils of Asians, but up close, they had a mixed-heritage aura, seemingly influenced by a generation of the Chu lineage marrying a foreign woman who passed down mixed genes.
Two pairs of eyes of the same color looked at each other, and Chu Aotian first took her hand and hooked it onto his arm, smiling at her gently, “With Dad here, don’t worry. Just hold my hand and follow me, I’ll safely hand you over to him.”
Dad…
The word made Rong Yan feel a sense of disorientation.
As if separated by a century.
“I…” She didn’t know how to express her feelings.
“Yan, it’s okay, you don’t have to force yourself. Your mom and I understand your feelings. If I were in your place, I couldn’t immediately accept my heritage either. You don’t want to change how you address us, and your mom and I don’t blame you. We’ll wait for you to slowly accept us.” Chu Aotian gently patted her head, withdrew his hand, and spoke with a dignified tone, “You’ve found a man you love, and Dad is happy for you. For your wedding today, I have no instructions other than for you to remember: in our family, we don’t follow the outside notion that a daughter becomes someone else’s after marriage. If you’re wronged or bullied after marriage, you must tell me, and Dad will stand up for you!”
