511 Wedding Day (I)
The Jade Hotel.
Unlike the other peaceful days, the Jade Hotel was the busiest and filled with loud noises and chaos. The hotel staff was running here and there to make sure that the wedding preparations were going perfectly so that no glitches would occur at the last moment.
The staff at the entrance of the hotel were welcoming the guests and were busy leading them to their assigned rooms upstairs. Meanwhile, the kitchen staff was busy preparing the special wedding banquet for the lovely couple who is going to tie the auspicious knot in their hotel.
Being the topmost hotel in the country, the Jade Hotel was known for its hospitality and quality of service. Along with being the best hotel, it has never hosted any wedding or big event at the hotel to not disturb the other guests who will be staying at their hotel.
However, this time, things were different.
It was not just any wedding ceremony that they are holding in their hotel. It was the wedding ceremony of the owner of the Jade Hotel, who is also the President of the Han Corporations, Han Zihao, and Xu Nuan, whose name is growing steadily in the entertainment industry.
Not only that, the guests who will be attending the wedding ceremony have quite a reputation and status in society as well. Many stars and celebrities from the entertainment industry will be attending the ceremony, meanwhile, many big-shot businessmen will come to bless the couple on their joyous day.
It was not just a simple wedding ceremony but almost like a red-carpet award show where big names from the entertainment and business industry will be attending the event.
They cannot go easy when it comes to preparation for such a large-scale event.
.....
This is why to accommodate the guests who will be attending the wedding ceremony, Han Liang had asked the hotel manager to not make any reservations for a few days before and after the wedding ceremony and keep the rooms empty and clean to avoid last-minute confusion.
All the guests will be staying at the hotel and after getting ready, they will attend the wedding ceremony in the evening which will be held on the extensive terrace of the Jade Hotel under the blanket of the shimmering stars.

Since the bride and groom cannot see each other before the ceremony, Xu Nuan was getting ready in the bridal suite, meanwhile, Han Zihao was getting ready in a different room.
A few days before the wedding, Grandmother Han suggested that they should live separately until the wedding ceremony. That is why she moved back to the Gu mansion for a few days until the wedding.
She didn’t want to go back to that household ever again, however, Grandfather Gu suggested or more like pleaded with her to come and stay with them for a few days until the wedding. She couldn’t break the heart of the old man, that is why she agreed to his request and stayed at the Gu mansion.
Surprisingly, her stay at the Gu mansion wasn’t too bad this time. Gu Xingren wasn’t in the country and Lin Ran didn’t say anything to her either.
Even if she wanted to say something to her, Grandfather Gu and Xu Nuan’s Father Gu Zhang didn’t let her say anything to her and ruin her joyous mood.
More than that, Grandmother Han had warned the Gu family or more likely threatened them to take good care of her and if anything happened to her, she would deal with them herself.

In the bridal suite, Xu Nuan was getting ready for the wedding ceremony which will commence in a few hours.
After getting ready, she was sitting in front of the large mirror table and was looking at her reflection in the mirror in a daze. She was clad in her wedding dress and was wearing her natural bridal makeup to enhance her beauty and emphasize her special facial features.
She is looking at her reflection in the mirror, however, it still feels as if she is looking at a stranger’s face. Her face and facial features were different from her past life, however, the person who is living this life and experiencing all these magical changes in this life is her, Jiang Yue!
“It’s finally happening!” She let out a deep breath as she tried to calm herself down. She still cannot believe that today she is going to marry Han Zihao, the man with whom she is going to build her new family.
Not only is she getting married to him, but she and Han Zihao are also going to start a new chapter in their lives as new parents.
More than a year ago, she was confused and lost in her life because she lost everything in her life, her family, friends, fame, and everything. However, things are finally coming together in her life and now she has everything that a person could wish for; friends, family, a blooming career, and more importantly, the love of her life.
She is living the best life that she could ever imagine for herself. That is why she was feeling more nervous, worried that someone might curse this happiness and everything will change in an instant.
When Xu Nuan was taking deep breaths to relax her racing heart, she heard a knock on the door before it was pushed open.
“Oh? Why are you alone in your room? Where are your makeup artist and her assistant?” Luo Dan asked when she entered the bridal suite to accompany Xu Nuan and find out that she was sitting alone in her room.
She went away for a while to quickly get ready and was surprised to see her sitting in the room alone. If she had known that she was sitting here alone, she wouldn’t have left the room to get ready or would have asked someone to accompany her while she was gone.
Xu Nuan looked up at her with a smile and shook her head, ” Don’t look for her. I was the one who asked her to step out of the room for a while. Because I needed some time to prepare myself mentally before attending the ceremony.” She revealed honestly.
She had never thought that getting married could be so frantic and overwhelming. Since yesterday, she was going through so many overwhelming emotions and had cried many times until her eyes were swollen like a panda’s.
Her messed up pregnancy hormones were only adding up to her difficulties by making her overly sensitive.
Luo Dan and Jia Fei were worried that she might get sick if this continued and stayed at the Gu Mansion along with her to accompany her and entertain her so that she would not start crying at night because of the overflowing emotions.
“Aww! Don’t worry. Everything will be alright. Just take it as a small ceremony where all of your family and friends will be present. That’s it.” Luo Dan said as she tried to comfort Xu Nuan by patting her back.
“What are you guys talking about behind my back?” Jia Fei asked like a nosy person when she entered the suite and saw them talking to each other.
She walked up to Xu Nuan and placed a glass of fresh orange juice on the vanity table in front of her and said, “Here is your orange juice. Do you want something to eat as well?”
Xu Nuan picked up the glass and said, “This will be enough. I don’t have any appetite to eat anything anyway.” She said while taking a sip of it.
Jia Fei noticed the tense expressions of Xu Nuan and pursed her lips before saying, ” Why do you look so sad? It is your wedding day.”
“Xu Nuan, you have one last chance before getting married. If you have one percent doubt about this wedding, you can tell me honestly. I will not question you again and will help you out of this mess.”
“I will fight everyone and will stop this wedding ceremony before it starts. You know that I am good at fighting with people. I even slapped Hao Mei and Qin Ju to avenge you. Even though I will have to fight with more people this time, if it will be for you, I am ready to do that. I can give you my word for that.” She said and assured Xu Nuan that she could tell her anything and she will never judge her for it.
Luo Dan was shocked by Jia Fei’s provocative comment and slapped her hard on the back, “Have you gone mad? How can you say something like that on her wedding day? Are you her friend or a foe?” She scolded her and questioned her friendship.
She should be happy for her and be her support on such a day. However, here she was adding some provoking thoughts in her head instead.
“Ouch! Why are you hitting me? Can’t you see that I am wearing a dress right now? It hurts.” Jia Fei cried out when Luo Dan hit her hard on her back. She was wearing a backless dress and it hurt like hell when Luo Dan slapped her on her bare skin.
She is not her friend but a monster. A monster who is living under the mask of an angel.
