Su Yicheng stopped for a moment and began to recall the past.
Luo Xiaoxi bought Su Jianan a cup of yogurt when she was in high school. As a result, he told Luo Xiaoxi both his contact information and schedule, from then on, Luo Xiaoxi would frequently visit him.
He remembered that he scolded Su Jianan for that. However, he simply smiled and said, “Xiaoxi says she wants to marry you, and that she would definitely marry you. In that case, she’ll know about your schedule sooner or later. It doesn’t matter if she knows now or in the future, does it?”
He simply regarded it as a joke that Luo Xiaoxi would marry him back then.
However, it became a reality today. Luo Xiaoxi was in a wedding dress he had gotten customized for her.
He had specially chosen Luo Xiaoxi’s favorite brand alongside its chief designer, it was all to give her a tailored wedding dress with superb craftsmanship and elegant style.
Owing to her career as a model on the catwalk, Luo Xiaoxi nailed the look on the wedding dress.
It fitted Luo Xiaoxi well and outlined her curvy body. Both Its elegant style and Luo Xiaoxi’s charm made her look really unique.
Luo Xiaoxi’s beauty at that moment could be described as… breathtaking.
Su Yicheng could only gaze at her, all the while feeling indescribably moved.
He thought he had been ignorant, like those who had spent too much time and energy to reach their happiness through a rough path instead of an easy one.
If he knew that when Luo Xiaoxi put on a wedding dress for him and his soul would tremble in happiness, then he would’ve hugged her hard when Luo Xiaoxi confessed to him for the first time, instead of pushing her away.
To his relief, Luo Xiaoxi had been waiting for him at the end of that path although he had once made the wrong choice.
Su Yicheng smiled and walked toward Luo Xiaoxi with firm steps.
Luo Xiaoxi stood up and fixed her eyes on Su Yicheng who looked more handsome than ever at this very moment, without paying attention to those behind him.
Luo Xiaoxi prided herself in seeing the world and holding a big picture of it. However, upon seeing Su Yicheng focusing on her with flowers in his hands, she felt her heart racing as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
All the others in the room were quiet at that moment, only the sound of Su Yicheng’s steps could be heard. They could all feel the couple’s excitement.
Su Jianan and Lu Boyan looked at each other and smiled tacitly. The others could also feel their romance besides Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi’s excitement.
Su Yicheng stopped in front of Luo Xiaoxi, then, he handed her a bouquet of white roses and reached out towards her.
Luo Xiaoxi took the bouquet with one hand, and held Su Yicheng’s hand with the other. The two smiled more brightly as they gazed into one another’s eyes.
Shen Yuechuan finally went into the room when he was finished dealing with the girls outside, he then said, “It’s time to hit the road.”
Su Yicheng walked in the front with Luo Xiaoxi, while Lu Boyan and Su Jianan walked hand in hand at the back for fear that she might bump into the crowd.
Su Jianan whispered to Lu Boyan, “I heard that Yunyun and those girls are guarding outside as the 12 barriers. How did you reach here in such a short time? What on earth happened?”
Lu Boyan leisurely replied, “Those 12 barriers were broken as soon as Yuechuan told Xiaoxi’s friends that he could arrange for them to meet their idols.”
“…” This was definitely within her expectations.
Su Jianan only looked at Lu Boyan, not knowing what to say.
By now, Su Yicheng had already gone downstairs with Luo Xiaoxi.
Upon looking at their daughter and son-in-law, Lao Luo managed to stay calm while Mrs. Luo was about to cry.
Although Luo Xiaoxi and Su Yicheng were already husband and wife in the legal sense, but for them, when Luo Xiaoxi put on a wedding dress and walk out of the house today, this meant that their only daughter was going to marry in the truest sense of the word.
Luo Xiaoxi walked up to her mother. “Mom, don’t cry.”
Mrs. Luo wiped her tears. “I’m just too happy.” With this said, she gestured for Luo Xiaoxi to lower her head and then closed the bridal veil for her.
It seemed that Lao Luo had a lot to tell Su Yicheng. However, he simply patted his shoulder and said, “Go.”
He wanted to tell Su Yicheng to take good care of Luo Xiaoxi; he wanted to tell him about her likes and dislikes; he also wanted Su Yicheng to never to let his daughter down in the future.
However, Lao Luo realized that it was unnecessary to say all this, because Su Yicheng had always made Luo Xiaoxi happy.
He would love to see his daughter find her happiness earlier since he knew he would leave him one day.
“Dad, Mom,” Su Yicheng said solemnly, “We’re leaving.”
Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi left the house hand in hand, followed by the young gentlemen and ladies. Then, the two got into a Rolls-Royce Phantom limousine, while the others separately got into their cars. After that, dozens of luxury cars ran toward the church downtown.
They reached the church at 11:30 a.m., precisely when their wedding was scheduled to start.
Lao Luo helped Luo Xiaoxi get out of the car and gestured for her to hold his arm as they had rehearsed, all the while after Su Yicheng went into the church with his groomsmen.
Luo Xiaoxi smiled and held her father’s arm affectionately. “Lao Luo, are you extremely reluctant to part with me now?”
Lao Luo responded, “You’re not going to marry into a place on the other side of the earth. Why should I feel that way?”
“Anyway, I’m going to get married today.” Luo Xiaoxi turned and gazed at Lao Luo. “Aren’t you going to miss me?”
Lao Luo simply said, “No! I’m happy to see you get married because you’re always making a mess at home!”
“Well, well.” Luo Xiaoxi buried her head in her father’s shoulder. “I don’t want to leave you and mom, that’s why I’ll definitely come back and see you as long as I’m free. Take it easy. Don’t miss me too much!”
Lao Luo managed to hold back his tears and patted Luo Xiaoxi’s head. “Let’s go. Be serious.”
The church gate opened as the symphony of Wagner’s Wedding March played.
Through her bridal veil, Luo Xiaoxi saw Su Yicheng standing upright on the other end of the red carpet, his smiling eyes were focused on her as if he was saying:
I’m waiting for you.
Luo Xiaoxi slowed down and solemnly stepped forward with her heart filled with joy and expectations, it was either because of seeing Su Yicheng’s soulful eyes or hearing the Wedding March that filled up the entire church.
Xiao Yunyun followed Luo Xiaoxi with the other bridesmaids and began to ponder amongst themselves.
She had never dreamed of a wedding. However, at this moment, she couldn’t help but wonder whether there would be a man she would love who would be waiting for her on a red carpet, just like what happened to Luo Xiaoxi.
Shen Yuechuan’s face sprang to Xiao Yunyun’s mind.
Xiao Yunyun felt surprised as she blinked, almost as if she just woken up from her dream, trying to get Shen Yuechuan out of her mind.
She thought to herself, “D*mn, why am I missing Shen Yuechuan at this crucial moment? I’m asking for trouble!”
“It’s stupid of me to have done that.” With this closure in mind, Xiao Yunyun managed to focus her attention on the wedding.
Lao Luo had just reached Su Yicheng with Luo Xiaoxi in tow.
Lao Luo solemnly placed Luo Xiaoxi’s hand in Su Yicheng’s palm, he then patted Su Yicheng on the back of his hand. “Yicheng, I’d like to entrust my only daughter to your care. You’re not just taking her hand from mine.”
Su Yicheng smiled. “Yes. Xiaoxi has lived a happy life with you for the past 25 years. I’ll take care of her for the rest of my life. Dad, you have my word. I won’t let her down, she will be as happy as ever.”
Lao Luo nodded and waved his hand. “Go ahead.”
Luo Xiaoxi held Su Yicheng’s arm and walked up to the pastor with anticipation.
The pastor asked the bridegroom and the bride whether they wanted to be bonded for life after reading out the wedding vows.
Luo Xiaoxi smiled and said without hesitation, “I do!”
Su Yicheng also responded without missing a beat after he was asked the same question, “I do.” He sounded firm although his voice wasn’t as excited as Luo Xiaoxi’s.
The pastor nodded and looked at the guests in the church. “Do you want to remember this moment for them?”
They answered in unison, “We do!”
The pastor asked, “Who allowed him to marry her?”
Lao Luo stood up and said solemnly, “They held this wedding as the bride wished. She married her groom with the blessings from her mother, our friends and relatives, and me.”
Su Yicheng took Luo Xiaoxi’s hand for the vow. Luo Xiaoxi also did the same according to the customs.
It was time for them to exchange wedding rings.
Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun took the rings to the groom and the bride. After they exchanged the rings, the pastor said, “You may kiss her!”
The young guests in the church began to yell as soon as the solemn ceremony ended. Su Yicheng lifted Luo Xiaoxi’s bridal veil, only to find her cheeks blushed from either excitement or shyness.
In Su Yicheng’s eyes, his wife, Luo Xiaoxi, was the most stunning beauty in the world, regardless of what had made her blush at that moment.
“Xiaoxi!” The crowd yelled, “Watch out for his kiss! Haha!”
Su Yicheng glanced at the young girl who was yelling and then said, “Zhou Qi? I heard that you want to be a designer in Cheng An, but your father wants you to help him with his businesses. Is that true?”
Zhou Qi got Su Yicheng’s point and said, “Xiaoxi, just ignore me. I don’t want to run a company or things like that. I just want to work as a designer in Brother Yicheng’s company…”
Su Yicheng gently kissed Luo Xiaoxi as the others all burst into laughter.
He saw her joy as well as his happy face in her eyes when he stopped kissing Luo Xiaoxi.
The two had just experienced the most exciting time of their lives.
Luo Xiaoxi suddenly approached Su Yicheng and embraced him again. “We got married!”
Su Yicheng laughed as he put his arms around Luo Xiaoxi’s waist. He replied in a soft and contented voice, “Yes, finally.”
