Chapter 112
After two years of internship, Song Anan officially became a resident doctor.
It was also in this year that she and Pei Kuang finally tied the knot after a five-year long relationship.
On Song Anan's 25th birthday, the two registered their marriage.
But their wedding was held the following year at an overseas island.
The wedding was mainly organized by Zhao Ya and Pei Kuang. From the wedding details to the bride and groom's attire, Song Anan was completely hands-off.
In fact, Song Anan didn't want a wedding in the first place. Pei Kuang's celebrity status also made it inconvenient.
Mostly, she just found wedding planning to be too troublesome.
Since they had already registered their marriage, she felt having all these formalities didn't really matter - as long as they were together, that was enough.
But Pei Kuang strongly disagreed. He said this was a once-in-a-lifetime event and they should have the appropriate sense of occasion. It had to be perfect.
He even went to Zhao Ya to convince Song Anan when she refused to budge. As a result, Song Anan got a good scolding from her sister-in-law.
After that, the two no longer let her get involved in the wedding planning.
On the morning of the wedding, Zhao Ya woke up Song Anan early to get her hair and makeup done and to put on the wedding dress.
After all that was finished, Song Anan was left alone in the bridal suite to wait until it was time for her walk down the aisle.
The wedding they planned was relatively small, with only close friends and family invited.
Pei Kuang invited some circle insiders and outsiders he was close with, while the Song family side consisted of some aristocratic relatives and Zhao Ya's family members who had watched Song Anan grow up.
As for Song Anan, her network was simple - either former classmates or colleagues from the hospital.
She only invited three roommates and her teacher Jing Wenjin and his wife.
She didn't invite any colleagues or classmates from medical school since they were all busy and couldn't easily take time off.
In any case, none of the invited guests had arrived on the island yet.
This was the Song family's private island, and lodging capacity was limited. Therefore, all invited guests were put up in nearby accommodations off the island. Only their immediate family and the makeup artist stayed on the island itself. The others would come over the day of.
While Song Anan was sitting alone and bored in the bridal suite, the door was suddenly pushed open from outside.
It was Pei Kuang. When he saw Song Anan, his eyes lit up instantly.
The little girl rarely wore makeup, let alone full makeup like today.
The last time Pei Kuang had seen Song Anan with makeup was when they recorded that lifestyle variety show on the final day during the photoshoot for the guest picture album.
Wearing a pure white wedding dress, she sat there obediently looking so beautiful it was almost unreal.
Seeing Pei Kuang, Song Anan was also surprised, "Why are you here?"
Didn't her sister-in-law say he was going to greet the guests?
Pei Kuang smiled as he walked over, "Linchuan is helping me greet them."
"Oh," Song Anan responded.
Pei Kuang looked her up and down with great interest, making Song Anan feel rather awkward.
"What are you looking at? Does it look weird?"
Pei Kuang smiled and leaned down to kiss her lips, "Not weird, very beautiful."
Song Anan quickly pushed him away, "Don't kiss me, you'll smudge my makeup. I still need touch ups."
Mostly she was embarrassed about the makeup artist walking in on them.
Unlike Song Anan, Pei Kuang was completely at ease. He wasn't bothered at all about being caught. On the contrary, her reaction made him want to tease her more, so he leaned in to kiss her again.
Li Dong slapped Jiang Han's arm, "Pinch me, tell me this isn't a dream!"
Seeing his reaction, a trace of smugness flashed through Jiang Han's eyes.
Back when he first learned of the Song family background, he had been much calmer than Li Dong. At least he didn't suspect he was dreaming!
He lightly coughed and said, "Li Dong, have some backbone. You're a famous agent, don't act like you've never seen the world before."
Li Dong glanced at him but didn't respond.
This guy just loved putting on airs. He didn't believe Jiang Han had been any calmer than him when he first found out.
But right now Li Dong didn't have time to quibble with Jiang Han. His mind was filled with shock that Song Zhenhui turned out to be Song Linchuan's dad! Song Anan's brother!
The Song cousins were really low-key. There wasn't any gossip about it in the industry at all.
If this got out, it would shock so many people!
Seeing Song Linchuan following and helping Song Zhenhui greet guests not far away, Li Dong felt a new sense of admiration.
One had to know, being labeled as the heir of a wealthy clan in the entertainment industry not only commanded respect from industry insiders, but fans also ate it up.
Let's not even mention when Song Linchuan first debuted after winning the talent competition. If his family background had been exposed then, his popularity and topics of discussion would have certainly skyrocketed.
But Song Linchuan didn't say anything at all, and relied entirely on himself to scramble in this circle to get to where he is today, which is also quite remarkable.
In this regard Song Linchuan is actually very similar to Pei Kuang.
Of course, I don't mean their family backgrounds, but the drive both men have within themselves. Song Linchuan doesn't play up his rich second generation image, just like Pei Kuang doesn't play up his 'tragic' family background.
As they've made their way so far, they both place more value on their own abilities.
No wonder they could become friends - their inner cores are actually quite proud.
Li Dong suddenly turned to look at Jiang Han, asking sincerely: "What do you think, does our Pei Kuang count as having married into a wealthy family?"
Jiang Han paused for a moment. Come to think of it, it really does seem so!
He was very clear that Song Zhenhui and his wife Zhao Ya treated Song's younger sister Song Anan like their own daughter.
Jiang Han beckoned Li Dong to come closer and lean in.
Li Dong immediately leaned in. "What is it?" he asked.
Jiang Han pretended to be mysterious and asked: "Do you know how large Auntie's dowry was?"
Li Dong's eyes lit up. Based on his attitude, it must have been a lot.
"How much was it?" he asked.
Jiang Han whispered a number into his ear.
Li Dong's eyes suddenly went wide. "Damn!"
He reacted for several seconds before asking uncertainly: "Really?"
"How could it be fake?" Jiang Han rolled his eyes. "It's absolutely true!"
Li Dong immediately froze in place.
Jiang Han also uncharacteristically didn't ridicule him. He couldn't help it, even he still hadn't gotten over it after knowing for so long.
And so, at the wedding, the two top entertainment agents hid in a corner feeling that the world of the wealthy was simply unimaginable.
The wedding guests gradually took their seats, and before long the wedding ceremony officially began.
As the wedding music started playing, Song Anan took Song Zhenhui's arm as they stood at one end of the red carpet, while Pei Kuang waited at the other end.
The sea breeze blew up Song Anan's veil, sending a flash of white fluttering in the wind.
The newlyweds looked at each other from afar, their mouths slowly turning up at the corners.
