Chapter 364 - Bridesmaids

Mu Chenyan and Yue Yue were about to leave when they heard Shui Xian talking about a wedding photoshoot with Raelle and then they both couldn't walk away from it. Especially since it seemed like Raelle actually agreed! She AGREED?!!!

"Excuse me?" Mu Chenyan suddenly spoke up. "Whose wedding?"

Shui Xian placed his arm around Raelle as he announced, "Our wedding."

Mu Chenyan's brows quirked up showing her surprise quite clearly on her face at the moment as her eyes moved from Shui Xian's smiling face to Raelle's straight face. And then her eyes shifted back and forth between these two and yet the answer stayed the same. That only added fire to her surprise.

Saying that she was not expecting it would be an understatement.

"Ellie," she called out softly. "You... You really agreed to hold a wedding?"

Raelle nodded her head in response to her question and she could actually see the disbelief on Mu Chenyan's face as well. In fact, she could understand that disbelief too. Even she had never thought she'd agree to something like that one day. But now that she had agreed, she couldn't just take back her words. 

Besides, Shui Xian looked way too excited, and seeing his happiness, Raelle didn't feel like taking back her words.

"I still can't believe it," Mu Chenyan rubbed her forehead as she muttered to herself.

"You said, we can't always be stubborn in a relationship," said Raelle and Mu Chenyan looked up to face her. "My Yanyan said it's okay to do something against your principles if it makes someone happy."

Mu Chenyan felt like her eyes were stinging all of a sudden. She didn't know why she felt so touched even though she knew Raelle always remembered every little detail in life. It still meant a lot to her that she not only remembered her words but she also cherished those words in her own way.

"Aiyah! Who raised this beautiful girl?" 

Yue Yue pointed at her and Mu Chenyan burst out laughing as she continued, "That's right. I raised her. I suddenly feel so proud of myself."

Yue Yue rolled her eyes at Mu Chenyan and left her reeling in her own feelings while she went over to Raelle and said, 'How about I make your wedding dress? Is that okay?'

Raelle nodded her head, "Isn't it obvious? If it's my wedding dress, it has to be made by my Yue Yue."

Yue Yue was over the moon to hear that and there was so much inspiration exploding in her mind right now. Just the thought of making a wedding dress for Raelle had her hyped up. She felt like she won't be able to sleep tonight from all this excitement. But it's alright. She could put all this energy into the design tonight. 

"When did you both plan it?" asked Shui Koshing as he came out of his surprise. "And why didn't I know that? How am I gonna prepare everything at such short notice?"

"Bà, you don't have to worry so much," said Shui Xian. "Raelle is still busy with a project and won't have time for at least a couple of months. We'll hold a wedding after that as I promised to her. Meanwhile, you can plan everything you want to."

Shui Koshing relaxed when he heard that. "That sounds so much better. It's good that I got a heads-up early on." He took a moment to add, "Oh, by the way, how about a destination wedding?"

"We can just go to the private island we have," Mu Chenyan also added.

"Since we are already holding a wedding, let's make it a bit grand, eh?" Shui Koshing spoke again.

"Usually, I don't want to show off but if it's about my Ellie, I have to show her off to the whole world. So, yes! Let's make it grand," Mu Chenyan also agreed. "It's also a good thing that I chose a good son-in-law, at least, he has something to show off about."

"Ouch!" Shui Xian mumbled to himself and only Raelle heard it. Not because his voice was low, but because the rest weren't paying attention to him at this point. 

Right now, these elders were too absorbed in putting forth their ideas for the wedding. 

"Isn't it, my wedding?" asked Raelle all of a sudden catching everyone off-guard.

"Of course, it is," answered Mu Chenyan.

"Then why aren't you asking for my opinion?"

That shut everyone up. Indeed, it was her wedding and they were supposed to get her opinions but... Did Raelle really have an opinion when it comes to something like weddings? Weddings that she had always found tedious and troublesome? 

Well, the truth was, that Raelle really had no opinion. 

"We still have time, don't get so excited," added Raelle.

"But weddings are always like this," said Mu Chenyan. "You always have to prepare everything as early as possible."

"And how many weddings have you arranged, Yanyan?" questioned Raelle straightforwardly.

Mu Chenyan licked her lips and answered, "None." She took a brief pause to add, "But just because I haven't seen a lamb running doesn't mean I have never eaten lamb kebabs. I have to take everything into consideration before planning your wedding."

"You don't have to do anything," was Raelle's bland response. "Because in today's society, we have wedding planners. Let the professionals do their jobs. Since you like eating lamb kebabs, focus on that. You don't have to watch the lambs running."

Yue Yue pursed her lips to suppress her laughter while Mu Chenyan's shoulders slumped down. "It looks like I really am not needed."

"Who said that?" 

Mu Chenyan looked up at Raelle who went on, "Your job is to dress up and stay your beautiful self. After all, I still want my Yanyan to stand beside me as my bridesmaid." Her eyes moved to Yue Yue as she continued, "And you too." Yue Yue was just as stumped as Mu Chenyan when they heard that from Raelle. "You both are the closest women in my life. Also, the most important ones as well."

Mu Chenyan held Yue Yue's hand to stop her own hand from trembling as she said, "Let's go back home, Yue. I might start crying if I stayed here any longer."

Yue Yue couldn't even laugh at her condition when she was no better right now.
