What the hell–
It sounded awful!
Not a single word was in tune!
The old song "The Most Romantic Thing", when it was sung by Wen Yu, was as if it were a – recitation.
In this way, even if he remember the lyrics, it would be really hard for him to be able to sing the song.
Inside the room, Chi Zhengzheng couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.
It seemed that Wen Yu really didn't know how to sing and didn't like listening to songs. Before, when they were doing the wedding photo shoot, Chi Zhengzheng sang this song to him, he liked to listen to it, so she kept singing it.
Unexpectable, after listening to it so many times, but he learned the lyrics by heart, but not the tune!
Wen Sisi wanted to cover her ears, and didn't wait for Wen Yu to finish singing, she said: "Okay, okay, you passed!"
– Please don't sing anymore!
She made way, Zheng Ye and the others worked fast, and immediately flocked around Wen Yu into the room.
Inside the room, a huge bed was covered in sheer fabric, through the fabric, a person could be seen sitting on the bed, holding a fan in her hand to block her face.
Zheng Ye and others were excited, they were finally able to receive the bride. They've completed the tasks!
Zheng Ye immediately pushed Wen Yu forward: "Hurry up, hurry up, take away the bride! The bridal car is waiting outside!"
Wen Yu didn't move, with great certainty in his voice: "It's not Zhengzheng."
"Huh?" Zheng Ye was taken aback.
Wen Yu turned his head to look at Wen Sisi: "Where's Zhengzheng?"
The voice couldn't help but carry some urgency, he was obviously panicked.
Wen Sisi and the others were also taken aback for a moment. Of course, they knew that the one sitting on the bed was not Chi Zhengzheng, for the sake of similarity, they chose a girl who resembled Chi Zhengzheng's body shape!
He should've been in a hurry to receive the bride, he must've been in a hurry to come forward, that person's face was blocked, they just wanted to see when Wen Yu would find out.
Unexpectedly, he had just entered the door, and he was still separated from the sheer fabric, and Wen Yu recognized her before even seeing her!
This was how familiar they were and how much he cared ah…
"Then you'll have to find it yourself!" They've let him in so easily, that they must have a backward move.
Wen Yu's eyes swept across the room, yet when he looked around, no one could be seen at all.
"Ahem." Someone made a sound.
– It was Chi Zhengzheng!
Wen Yu's eyes lit up and he walked quickly toward that location.
There was a full-length mirror, and there were clothes on it, it was quite messy. It was true that at first glance one wouldn't expect someone to be hidden here.
Of course, most people wouldn't expect that they would have to hide the bride.
"Chi Zhengzheng! You traitor!!!" Wen Sisi gritted her teeth, her voice full of helplessness.
After hearing that, she knew that it must be Chi Zhengzheng who had deliberately exposed herself for Wen Yu to find her!
Wen Yu had already approached her, lifted the clothes, and moved the mirror away. Chi Zhengzheng was sitting on a stool, holding a fan in her hand, her face like a peach blossom, smiling brightly at him.
At that moment, Wen Yu's brain was blank, in his whole heart and in his eyes, there was only this woman in front of him who was smiling at him.
She was so beautiful that he was dazzled, his heart was pounding as if it was about to go out of control.
He opened his mouth and muttered unconsciously: "Zhengzheng…"
Chi Zhengzheng looked at him, her eyes were full of tenderness.
Wen Yu slowly squatted down, half kneeling, carefully holding her hands: "I've come to pick you up…"
After saying that, he reached out and wanted to carry her out.
"Hey hey hey, what are you doing? You still haven't found the bride's shoes yet. Do you think it's so easy to take her away?!" Wen Sisi wouldn't let him do it and stopped him.
– There was finally a chance to make it difficult for Wen Yu. How could she let it go?
Zheng Ye rushed over and gave her a big red envelope and winked: "Sisi ah, don't give them a hard time, look at the two of them, all they can think about and see is each other! Just do them a favor and reveal where they've hidden it."
Wen Sisi took the red envelope and was unmoved: "Find it yourself."
So, the groomsmen went out as a group and searched inside the room.
The shoes were hidden deep and were very difficult to find.
"Don't give us a hard time, just give us face!" The groomsmen frantically gave red envelopes to the bridesmaids.
However, this group of bridesmaids, in the end, just loosely said: "On in the sky, one underground."
Everyone looked up, of course, there was nothing on the ceiling, they also looked down at the ground, on the bed, under the table, and it was nowhere to be found.
Still among the crowd, Secretary Ning was the most perceptive, he paid attention to the bridesmaids' line of sight, and his eyes lit up: "Lights! Look at the lights!"
Zheng Ye brought a stool and a tall groomsman climbed up and removed the lights from the ceiling before finding a shoe.
"It's too cruel, too cruel!"
"This is hiding too deeply, there's still a shoe we don't know where it is!"
"Oh my God, you guys are so good at hiding, how did you put it up there?!"
The bridesmaids remained unmoved.
The groomsmen were lying on the ground, itching to knock the floor tiles off to see.
And Chi Zhengzheng and Wen Yu…
They looked at each other face to face, Wen Yu was half kneeling, Chi Zhengzheng was sitting, they held hands, in their pair of eyes, they only had each other. They clearly didn't say a word, but just looking at it, they felt that they had said a thousand words.
– It was like the kind of secret words that they didn't let others listen to.
Wen Sisi glanced at them a few times and felt that her teeth were a little sour. At this moment, the groomsmen finally found the shoe glued with tape on the bed.
"The groom will take the bride away!"
Wen Yu didn't move and still looked at Chi Zhengzheng in a daze.
Chi Zhengzheng was somewhat embarrassed, pulled him, and glanced at him angrily.
Only then did Wen Yu stand up, bent over and carefully picked her up horizontally, then lowered his head, lowered his voice, and whispered something softly in her ear.
Then he showed a big smile and walked out with her in his arms.
Chi Zhengzheng's face and ears were flushed, her hands were clenched into a fist and lightly punched him twice.
He just said –
"You're so beautiful, I really want to do the 'wedding festivities' soon."
(t/: 洞房花烛 dòng fáng huā zhú is used here, it means wedding festivities and scenes while 洞房花烛夜 dòng fáng huā zhú yè means wedding night.)
The ambiguity in his expression almost overflowed.
Chi Zhengzheng blushed embarrassed.
Chi Yan and Ding Yijun were sitting in the living room, they were both wearing festive clothes. After Wen Yu came out with Chi Zhengzheng in his arms, the two gave them a toast.
From today onwards, Wen Yu would follow Chi Zhengzheng and call them "Mom and Dad".
Chi Zhengzheng and the Chi family had an average relationship, Wen Yu and the Chi family knew this very well in their hearts. They could only visit one another as relatives, what they did wrong before, it was impossible to make up for it and restore it back now.
But these were the parents of this body, of Chi Zhengzheng. The respect must be there, this was also the reason why the Chi family will pick up the bride.
Chi Zhengzheng called out "Mom and Dad", Wen Yu followed after and changed his way of addressing them.
"Dad, Mom."
The two of them blushed and hurriedly took out the red envelope to give it to Wen Yu.
Chi Yan's eyes were wet, and he opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Ding Yijun's tears had already rolled out, she hurriedly wiped them away and smiled: "Look at me, I'm crying with joy."
After a pause, she reached out and helped Chi Zhengzheng up, choked on a sob, and said: "Zhengzheng… I hope you live a happy, joyful, and healthy life in the future."
After saying that, Ding Yijun's tears were like pearls with broken threads, she could no longer hold them anymore.
She didn't know when it started, she had a lot of dissatisfaction with her daughter, she thought she had a bad temper, she thought that she was inferior to An Qinru in every way, and she also thought that she didn't know any better…
Ding Yijun seemed to have forgotten that she was her and Chi Yan's first child. When she had just gotten pregnant with Zhengzheng, she and Chi Yan were so happy, no matter how the child was born, they were only full of joy.
Chi Yan even said – "This was the pearl in their palm". (t/n: means beloved person, especially when referring to daughters)
Chi Zhengzheng was the pearl, but they didn't manage to hold her in their palms all along.
Since when did that change?
Ding Yijun couldn't remember clearly, nor could she remember when she suddenly realized that she was wrong, and she knew that Chi Yan was the same way.
He would occasionally suddenly say – "This can be given to Zhengzheng."
After saying that, they didn't give it to her, just put it in her room. They've always kept her room, when guests came to their house, they wouldn't let others stay in her room.
They are very worried about her now and missed her very much.
– But it was too late, she didn't need them anymore.
Before when Chi Zhengzheng's life was hanging by a thread, they were simply heartbroken.
Even sometimes when they thought about it, they would find it unbelievable how they managed to be so rational when facing their daughter who had become vegetative. How could they still consider their own interests?
Now, Chi Zhengzheng was standing in front of them, wearing a red wedding dress, bidding farewell to her parents.
She was about to marry Wen Yu, start a family, and become a family, from now on, she will have more distance from them.
Although now, they were also very far away.
Ding Yijun wanted to salvage their relationship before, and also wanted to make up for Chi Zhengzheng, but looking at the beautiful bride in front of her, she suddenly didn't think so much.
With their compensation and belated love, Chi Zhengzheng no longer needed it.
The so-called compensation and redemption were nothing more than to make them feel better for themselves, but to stop feeling guilty in their hearts!
The damage had already been done, and even if the injuries were to be erased, there will be traces left.
They didn't need to make amends and redeem, she really didn't need it. They… will also carry this guilt with them for the rest of their lives.
So, for the rest of her life, as long as she was happy and safe.
"Thanks." Chi Zhengzheng smiled.
Wen Yu handed the red envelope to the groomsmen to keep, then picked up Chi Zhengzheng and walked away from the Chi family.
Chi Yan, Ding Yijun, and Chi Zhouchen followed two steps, all with reddened eyes, sadly watching them leave.
Chi Zhengzheng didn't look back.
Of course, she knew how guilty they felt.
But so what?
Still, she was not the original owner and was not qualified to forgive them for the original owner.
Their sorry, and the understanding they want to get, they all need to meet the original owner a hundred years later, and ask a question to their real daughter in person.
The convoy left for the manor.
Except for the driver, there were only Chi Zhengzheng and Wen Yu in this wedding car.
The two looked at each other, and then smiled together, they clasped their hands tightly, a little sweaty.
Chi Zhengzheng said: "I'm a little tired…" She got early up to do makeup, the clothes and the crown were also heavy.
Wen Yu nodded in agreement. He also felt a little tired, more tired than at work, but magically, his nerves were always on edge, as if every cell was burning.
Today was the day they would make it known to the world – Chi Zhengzheng married Wen Yu as his wife.
"Do you want to rest against my shoulder?" Wen Yu looked at her and rubbed her shoulders.
Chi Zhengzheng shook her head: "No, you can't ruin the makeup. Today is a big day, it will be video recorded, and we will later watch for a lifetime." She wanted to be beautiful at all times!
Even inside their car, there was now a camera doing its job.
Wen Yu couldn't help smiling.
He held her hand tightly and took a deep breath as if his restless heart had fallen slightly to the ground, and the stimulated cells were stirred up, but it wasn't as unreal as it was just now.
"Zhengzheng, it's great. You're finally marrying me."
Chi Zhengzheng looked at him with her cheeks slightly red: "You're finally becoming my husband too…"
It was great.
It was such a good feeling to have someone who was placed on the tip of her heart, who happens to place her on the tip of his heart as well.
She was also really lucky.
