Soon the day of the wedding arrived. And what happened to Zhang Yong during his mother's birthday is a story for another day. Well, we can just say that he got his hand on the piece but the price was too high.
After the wedding ceremony, all the family and friends settled in the reception hall.
"Thank you all for coming and enjoy yourself" with this the party and mingling started.
The wedding venue was an open space decorated with white lilies and lavenders. Under a huge willow tree, two beautiful souls recited their vows and kissed. Not only was it a joyous occasion but the overall setting created a calm and romantic environment.
"Never expected to see you here cousin." a beautiful and tall lady said.
With the pair of light brown eyes and sculptured nose and lips, she gave an illusion of a goddess while flaunting her light purple bridesmaid dress. The goddess was none other then Zheng Quinlin, one of the top models in the industry.
"Same could be said about you" a sharp and deadly voice of Yan Julong was heard.
Few of the passers-by choked on their drink thinking that the dangerous voice was aimed towards them. 'Was this their last day on earth?'. If Zheng Quinlin did not know better she should have thought that her cousin was after her life. Or maybe he was or will be in the near future.
Rolling her beautiful eyes she murmured "show off" and turned around in search of her forever target completely obvious about the thoughts of the males eyeing her.
Yan Julong narrowed his eyes. He never understood this cousin of his, she was his cousin from his mother's side but still, she managed to give him a headache. It was not that he loved her a lot like a sister, he always knew that they both respected each other and that was it, along with the fact that she was the only one in the family who was not afraid of him.
She was self-dependent, never once using his name to gain fame. She worked extremely hard and was able to achieve everything on her own and he respected that. But there was something that changed her. Something he was unsure of.
She used to be so shy and frightened little girl but once she changed school she was a completely different person with reason still unknown.
'When did she became so close to these siblings' maybe he would get the answers with time.
While walking Zheng Quinlin tool a champagne glass from the passing waiter and moved towards the bride and her cousin.
"Still no sign of Ciaxia?" worried and anxious Mui Wengie asked. "It's my wedding today!"
"Don't overreact Wengie, she told you she would try. And in any case if she is really unable to come, her gift will be here soon" comforted Huo Keung.
Huo Keung was Mui Wengie's cousin. They have spent a lifetime together. When Mui Wengie lost her parents she was adopted by the Huo family and from then onwards they were like siblings. Well almost.
"Do you think I care about the gift? I want her to be here!"
"Oh come on, don't cry now. Your husband will think that we bullied you"
"But---"
"No but, you should be thoughtful of her condition too. How can you expect her to ----"
"Guys I think the gift arrived" the words of Zheng Quinling worked like magic and the whole venue turned silent.
