Chapter 151 - The Wedding (2)

Over 800 bottles of different types of wines from across the world was ordered. The chefs were brought in from all the five star hotels to cater to the guests. They had to prepare a five-course meal for the guests.

The guests started pouring from all over the country and overseas from two days earlier. They were all put up in resorts and villas. All the cousins of Yang Xinyu also poured in and they partied everyday.

The best feature of the wedding was the 'The Eight Stefaltos' band that was roped in to play along with three other bands. His father had remembered it and Yang Xinyu was ecstatic about it. The band was called a two days before the wedding and they would play Yang Xinyu's favorite songs. Along with his cousins Yang Xinyu would dance all day long. He was having one of the best times of his life. Wu Lina, on the other hand was being introduced to each and every member of the Yang family. It was important since some of them were also on the board of the company.

As the day approached an army of workers descended the ten-acre Yang property. Marquees were erected, lanterns hung and all the linen was laid. Under the canopy golden thrones were placed for the bride and the groom. It appeared as if the king and queen were to sit on their thrones.

Dragon dance was arranged for which local artists were called. Some of the artists were called from villages in order to give authentic look to the dance.

The only people who hadn't slept through all the preparations were Bo Xilai and Zhou Zhili. They were overlooking so many things.

Bo Xilai had managed to keep one of the items a big secret. Only the Chairman knew about it.

Since the Chairman had decided to marry his daughter Yang Chen Lin and Sebastian on the same day, he wondered how would this plan fit well. Luckily Yang Chen Lin understood his predicament and she requested him to register their marriage a day earlier. All Chairman had to do was to announce their wedding the next day.

The Chairman presented Wu Lina and Yang Chen Lin with jade bangles. The jade was so pure that both the girls gasped, while those who were present around them only got jealous. Yang Fangxu was affected the most. She disliked Wu Lina for becoming the wife of Yang Xinyu and getting all that wealth for free.

Wenqian would come everyday to support Wu Lina. She would tell her how to participate properly in all the rituals before the wedding. Wu Lina was happy to have her by her side. During one of the ceremonies Wu Lina asked her, "Mother, will father come for the wedding?"

Wenqian lowered her head and said quietly, "I don't know Wu Lina. I have told him but I am not insisting."

"Does he know about my biological father?"

"Yes, he does. Although Wu Yi-Zheng is not telling but I feel he is feeling very guilty."

"Mother, if possible please bring brother for the wedding. It would mean a lot to me. I haven't seen him for a long time now."

"Of course, my dear. Your brother is eager to come," said Wenqian with a smile. "Now concentrate on the ceremony."

Wenqian wanted to meet Mrs. Yang but for some reason the Chairman had avoided all her questions. Even Wu Lina wasn't answering her properly. He understood that Wu Lina hadn't spoken a thing about her mother-in-law to her mother.

When the last ceremony was over, it was already midnight. Yang Xinyu and Wu Lina came back home totally exhausted both mentally and physically. They took a shower and went to bed. As if in reflex, Wu Lina rolled over Yang Xinyu's c.h.e.s.t and lazed while he glided his fingers through her hair.

"Wu Lina, we have to go to the bungalow tomorrow after the wedding," said Yang Xinyu affectionately. "We will start our married life from there."

Wu Lina smiled and said softly, "I would love to darling." Then she raised her head and supported it on his c.h.e.s.t with her hand beneath her chin. "What about all the clothes and the furniture? I haven't packed anything!"

He smiled back at her and said with a glint in his eyes, "You just have to take care of your husband."

She sighed and went back to laze on him remembering that she was in a different world now. A few minutes later one could hear Wu Lina snoring softly over Yang Xinyu whose hand and legs were spread like a starfish.

Finally it was the wedding day!

In the penthouse, Yang Xinyu woke up early. He cradled Wu Lina on the mattress and turned towards her. He looked at her for a long time. 'From today she would be officially mine.' He heart was filled with an intense feeling of affection and deep intimacy. He moved forward on the pillow and kissed her lips lightly. Wu Lina responded sleepily by a moving her lips in a semblance of a kiss.

The stylist came at 8am. She waited for the couple to come out. As soon as they were out, she called her battery of assistants and ushered Wu Lina to a room where her wedding attire and all the accessories were kept. The wedding was supposed to begin at 11am. The stylist had assigned two assistants for Yang Xinyu and five for Wu Lina. She was running between the two rooms like a madwoman.

The bride and the groom walked out of their rooms at 10am. Both were looking grand. Wu Lina was looking stunning in her beautiful red qipao and a tiara. Her hair was tied in a neat bun and the veil was pinned at the back. She had worn the four-inch heels. There was so much jewelry on her that she was shimmering. She was wearing the jade bangle that the Chairman had given a day earlier.
