Chapter 226 - THE WEDDING DAY

"Sister Ge'er, how did you do it?" Jiang Xue asked eagerly as she paid full attention to what Lie Ruge's reply would be.

"How did I do what? I don't get your question?" Lie Ruge replied to her with a question.

"Oh! I mean how did you both sleep in when it is just a few hours to your wedding? I would have been so nervous and anxious if I was you. So I want to learn from you so that I will know how to calm my nerves when Tan Fan and I decide to get married," Jiang Xue smiled shyly. Xiao Bai, who had thought a person like Jiang Xue did not  know what it meant to be embarrassed, was shocked to see how she behaved shyly when she talked about her marriage with Tan Fan.

"Don't worry Jiang Xue. With the way you guys have s.e.x where ever you go, I'm very sure that you won't be as nervous as you assumed because you will be a mother by then," Xiao Bai said teasingly as she laughed loudly when she saw the displeased look on Jiang Xue's face when she mentioned her becoming a mother before she and Tan Fan would have their wedding.

"Xiao Bai, stop teasing my woman or you will not like it when she gets provoked, okay," Tan Fan, who had overheard their conversation, said loudly.

"What BaiBai said isn't a lie. She is just advising Jiang Xue politely to be careful whenever you unleash the beast on her if she does not want to hold her wedding with a big belly. Jiang Xue likes looking pretty all the time and I'm sure that she would not want to hold her wedding looking like that," Yun Yi said in Xiao Bai's defence, although, that wasn't what Xiao Bai meant when she told Jiang Xue to be careful.

"What is wrong with adding a little weight due to getting pregnant or being a mother? My hubby doesn't worry about these silly things. He will love me even if I become chubby after I become a mother. And Bai Bai, you should worry about yourself too. By the way, Yun Yi loses control over his little brother whenever he kisses you. Who knows what will happen in the next six months? I'm sure that you guys will have to postpone your wedding if you get pregnant five months before your wedding," Lie Ruge spoke up in Jiang Xue's defence to the surprise of everyone.

"Sister-in-law, why do you keep on touching your belly when you talk about getting pregnant? Those who don't know the fact that you are not pregnant might misunderstand that you are pregnant," Tan Fan, who had been watching Lie Ruge from his seat, spoke up.

"You can't blame Ge'er. This happens to every lady when they get too anxious about getting pregnant. It is called the aspiring mother's syndrome," Xiao Bai quickly spoke up. She would have freaked out if she had known that Tan Fan's words were true. Lie Ruge felt so guilty for not telling her best friend about the baby when Xiao Bai defended her.

"Did you guys come to my home to argue on my wedding day? I can't believe how fearless all of you have become. I will not hesitate to throw all of you out of my Mansion if you dare chat instead of getting to work immediately. I will not hesitate to murder all of you if Ge'er and I arrive late at the venue of the wedding because of you guys, got it?" Yi Lan asked sternly, startling everyone except Lie Ruge with the tone of his voice.

"Yeah, everything we need is already at the venue as you both are aware. Both of you just have to shower and get dressed. We will drop you guys off at the venue so that the both of you will be prepared for the wedding ceremony, which will take place in about three hours," Yun Yi said timidly. They didn't wait to get thrown out of the room, but they voluntarily left when they saw that Yi Lan was getting pissed off by all their chatters. After dressing up, they all left for the venue of the wedding. Since it was still very early, none of the guests had arrived so everyone went in to get dressed.

"Wow! Sister Ge'er, you look breathtakingly pretty right now. I almost mistook you for an angel that just descended from heaven. I'm very sure the goddess of beauty must feel very jealous of you right now," Jiang Xue, who had just entered the room where Lie Ruge was being dressed, exclaimed in astonishment with her mouth wide open.

"Why the look of surprise? Didn't you know that Ge'er has always been breathtakingly beautiful even without makeup? She is just slightly prettier than her normal self. So stop behaving as if this is your first time seeing her," Xiao Bai, who was with Ge'er all this time, said proudly.

"It's just that I can never get enough of her beauty. I have known her for more than three months now, but I get smitten by her beauty every time I see her," Jiang Xue said admirably as she walked to where Lie Ruge was sitting down.

"Hey ladies, how is everything outside? Have all of our guests arrived? What about mum and dad? I haven't seen them since I arrived here, I hope they are alright? And what about Lanlan, is he dressed already?" Lie Ruge bombarded them with questions.

"Slowly Ge'er? Let's take your questions one at a time," Xiao Bai said meekly when she saw how nervous her best friend was.

"Majority of the guests have been around. Your dad and your in-laws are busy greeting the guests that is why they haven't visited you yet. I'm sure they are going to be here very soon," interrupted Xiao Bai.

"And as for Yi Lan, he is already dressed and so are his groomsmen. So you don't have to worry about them. The only thing you have to do right now is to relax and wait for when you are called, Ok?" Xiao Bai said caringly. Just then the door flew open, Yi Lan who had been so impatient to see his wife entered the dressing room, but Jiang Xue quickly stood in front of Lie Ruge to prevent him from seeing Lie Ruge while Xiao walked towards him to challenge him.

"Hello Mr. Yi, what are you doing here? I remember saying none of the men should enter this room after Ge'er is in so please kindly exit the room. If you have anything to tell the bride then you can tell me then I will relay your message to her," Xiao Bai said sternly as she immediately stopped him in his tracks before he could walk further into the huge room.

"It's Ge'er I want to see, not you, so get out of my way," Yi Lan said coldly, but Xiao Bai did not move an inch from where she was standing. Just then Yun Yi and Tan Fan entered the room at the same time.

"Honey, take your groom out of here so that Ge'er will have time to rest a little before she will be called, alright," Jiang Xue said loudly.

"Third bro, as you can see the ladies are scary when it comes to protecting sister-in-law. I can barely recognize them. So please, let's get out of here quickly. Ok? There is no need to fight with them over this trivial issue, as we are all aware, Ge'er will be out of this room in less than thirty minutes. So you will see her then, alright," Tan Fan said as the both of them forcefully dragged the stubborn Yi Lan out of the room. The ladies heaved a sigh of relief after they had left.

Time flew by quickly and now it was the time for the bride to show herself to everyone. As people waited for the bride to come out, the bridesmaids and the groomsmen walked down the aisle in pairs of two, smiling and waving their hands in the air. After each one of them had come out it was now time for the grand entry of the bride. The flower boys and girls stepped out first before Lie Ruge followed suit. What a wonderful sight to behold as Lie Ruge walked through the door and unto the aisle. Every step she took was slow and graceful. Her glittery wedding dress shone brightly under the light. Holding onto her father's hand was the lady who was the envy of billions of ladies all over the world. Xiao Bai ,who was her chief bridesmaid, held the edges of the long dress from sweeping the floor. The bright smile on her face showed that she was very happy for her best friend.

"Wow! This dress is beautiful. The glittering of the diamonds on the dress are blinding," Miss Wei, the daughter of a very wealthy businessman, commented as her eyes shone in envy.

"Yeah it is, it was written on the front page of the magazine that it was Sofia who designed CEO Lie's wedding dress," the Lady standing beside her said, her eyes still focused on Lie Ruge.

"I know that. I could not help but get a bit upset when I heard that it was the mother of all designers, Sofia, that designed CEO Lie's wedding dress. The legendary designer Sofia always designed one to two dresses a year and her dresses are worth the equivalent to a huge Mansion in the city. That is why it is almost impossible for any wealthy socialite to afford her dresses since it is always too pricey. We can only admire it from her afar because we can never afford it," Miss Wei said enviously.

"This is the difference between us and the CEO Lie. She is filthy rich to a point where she could buy whatsoever she wants, while we can only rely on our parents' company's funds to buy even the latest designer goods," Yao Yao said.

"I heard that Sofia is a good friend of the three musketeers. The thing we never knew was that the majority of the clothes the three musketeers own were personally designed by the legendary Sofia," Miss Ning said to the awe of everyone.

"CEO Lie is so beautiful and so is Miss Xiao Bai," a young business tycoon said.

"Both of them are already taken. There is nothing we can do," CEO Yang said as he tapped his friend's shoulders encouragingly. The press who were present, did not fail to record this big event of a lifetime. They captured every movement of the bride and the groom. After Lie Ruge and Yi Lan exchanged vows and rings, it was reception time. After dancing the first round, Lie Ruge threw her flower bouquet and all the single ladies jumped up to catch it. When Lie Ruge turned around and saw who caught the bouquet she could not help but smile charmingly at her. After the main wedding event in the grand palace ballroom, the largest hall that could contain more than six thousand guests, it was time for the after-party. The after-party event only consisted of the closest friends and relatives of the bride. And those who planned this particular event were none other than Xiao Bai, Jiang Xue, Tan Fan and Yun Yi. Yi Lan and Lie Ruge knew that these four were up to some mischief.
