Chapter 254 - Alive

Previously, Shangguan Ning, like every other girl, used to dream about having a princess-like elaborate wedding. But as she became older and more experienced, the charm of grand weddings went away from her mind. Besides, she felt very lucky and happy at the moment. A wedding function was really nothing when she was already living a happy life.

As long as the days after the wedding were sweet and happy, it wouldn’t matter if there was one held.

But Jing Yichen had always wanted to give her an unforgettable and grand wedding.

“Let’s wait for a bit. We have been so busy recently and there are still tons of things pending. We can hold it when the issues are settled.”

“I have already started the preparation. It has been going for half a year. Everything should be ready soon except for our clothes.”

Shangguan Ning was really surprised hearing this. She reached out to pull his ears and said, “Half a year? So you started the preparation right after we got the certificate?”

He smiled as he thought back to the old times and replied softly, “No, I started preparing even before we got the certificate. I didn’t expect that we would get married so fast. I had thought about following the normal process which might have taken us half a year… that’s why I started back then.”

Shangguan Ning laughed. She planted a kiss on Jing Yichen’s face and said, “A kiss for your devotion!”

Jing Yichen smiled and looked lovingly at her.

He hadn’t spent much effort in courting his wife. Shangguan Ning was an honest woman whose face showed everything. It was very easy to see through her. She would get moved as long as he was nice to her and she would be even nicer to him, afterwards. She was easily satisfied and they had fallen in love naturally. In the beginning, he had loved her more, but now, it was impossible to tell which one of them loved the other deeper.

“It’s a deal. We can ask Grandpa to choose a day for our wedding. He has been fascinated with Yi Ching and Eight Diagram during these past two years, and he can handle this matter.”

Shangguan Ning couldn’t help but smile. She thought that Grandpa Jing was a serious man but could be really childish sometimes as well. No wonder people talked about “the old child” all the time – when people reached a certain age, they behaved more like a child.

Jing Tianyuan turned out to be a man who studied Yi Ching and the Eight Diagrams, different from those sage-like people who were interested in these mysterious things.

She remembered that some fortune-teller once said that she had a good destiny who would bring fortune to her husband and that was why the family had gotten her engaged to Xie Zhuojun. He had been a sage and even told about her future. With her birthdate, he had made an estimation and kept saying good things about her as if she were a rare treasure.

That man was capable enough to convince everybody except for Shangguan Ning, because at that time, she thought that she must have possessed a terrible destiny to be forced to get engaged to a man lying in a coma.

Leaning on Jing Yichen’s broad shoulders, Shangguan Ning now somehow believed what the fortune-teller had told her as she felt the steady life and warmth Jing Yichen gave her.

It had been her biggest luck to have met Jing Yichen. She really had a good destiny!

She didn’t resist it anymore. The wedding would have to happen sooner or later. Although she didn’t want the staff at the company to know her true identity, she couldn’t hide it forever.

“Okay, then ask Grandpa to pick a date for us so that I can be a beautiful bride.”

Shangguan Ning sounded happy. That made Jing Yichen’s heart tremble slightly.

He had always been guilty for not giving his wife a perfect wedding. Seeing that she had agreed with what he said, he suddenly felt that what he had been planning was all worth the while.

“My wife will definitely be the most beautiful bride!” Jing Yichen was very happy. He did believe that Shangguan Ning was going to be the most beautiful bride.

“We will go and pick the clothes in a couple of days. I have hired a designer from UK for your wedding gown. Tell her what you like, and we can make the most expensive and luxurious one. We are rich after all!”

Jing Yichen sounded like a nouveau riche, not the president of a successful enterprise. Shangguan Ning suspected that he was the son of a coal mine owner!

She chuckled leaning over his body.

Jing Yichen also chuckled as he tried to scare her. “Honey, why are you chuckling so hard in this empty and dark graveyard? Aren’t you worried that those sleeping here would wake up and come to you?”

Shangguan Ning instantly grabbed his neck and held onto it. In a timid voice, she said, “Nonsense! These are all people from Family Shangguan. All of them were my relatives and I have never offended them. Why would they come to attack me? I have never done anything bad in my life. Stop scaring me!”

They reached the car and Jing Yichen helped her climb in. Then he said with a smile, “Silly girl. There are no ghosts or demons. I was just teasing you. Even if there are, they won’t dare to come. Grandpa says that I am born to fight the ghosts.”

Many people had died because of Jing Yichen, and if there were really ghosts who took revenge, he couldn’t have been alive at this moment.

The scariest thing in the world were not ghosts, but humans.

For example, there was Jing Yiran who and the beautiful woman sitting opposite him who were controlled by hatred.

“Shangguan Rouxue? Aren’t you supposed to be dead?”

“How can I die when Shangguan Ning is still alive? But I will kill her soon. Don’t be sad, ok?”

The woman sounded gentle and nice. She still had a graceful smile on her but looked evil.
