Chapter 1279 Wedding (5)

“Still so secretive, won’t say how much the third young master’s family gave for the betrothal gift! Just look at the jewelry set around her neck… Yan Xixi, I dare bet, even if you graduated from South Country University, on your own, you’d never earn enough in your lifetime for this set of jewelry…”

“Sigh, it’s really maddening to compare oneself to others… How hateful, marrying so well, it’s truly enviable, jealousy-inducing, and hateful…”

“Enough, let’s not talk about it anymore. You go and attend to other guests. Xu Xiaoya and I will know how to eat and drink ourselves, don’t worry about us…”

Yan Xixi kept on smiling cheerfully.

In her whole life, she had never been harmonious with Zhou Xiaoxuan.

However, maybe you have countless relatives and friends, numerous classmates, countless so-called bosom friends — yet, when you’re in a foreign land, unaware whether you’ll live or die — only Zhou Xiaoxuan and Xu Xiaoya hurried to act as if they were your family, didn’t they?

In this lifetime, she wasn’t even a friend, much less a bosom friend — she was nothing.

The two of them quarreled even at first sight, mocked each other, and didn’t get along.

However, she knew that from then on, she would surely maintain contact with this woman until they were old.

…

Wan Donglin accompanied her all the way, his new formal attire, well-tailored, highlighting his impressive figure even more.

Throughout, he kept smiling happily. After socializing for a while, he quietly asked, “Xixi, are you tired? How about taking a break first?”

“Not quite tired yet, it’s fine. When I feel wearied, I’ll take the initiative to rest.”

Today, Yan Xixi’s spirits were unusually high. After all, it was the big day of their wedding, necessary appearances still had to be put on.

He gazed at her, as if she had transformed — three months spent lazing around at home, unkempt, and yet with a little pampering, she immediately dazzled, subtly causing hearts to race.

He quietly pressed her hand to his chest.

She wondered, “What are you doing?”

He whispered into her ear, “Silly girl… look, my heart is beating so fast… hahaha, don’t know why, just seeing you still makes my heart race… sigh, in this lifetime, I’m stuck with you…”

She replied calmly, “That’s nothing. When I have children, I will definitely be more radiant than now, when I am fifty, I’ll still make your heart race…”

He chuckled as well.

…

By the door, a pair of eyes filled with doubt, pain, unwillingness, indignation, yet helplessness… Zhang Chuchu had been outside the flower hall all along, pretending to casually watch this way…

She didn’t want to come close, nor did she want to greet the couple — in fact, she didn’t want to attend the wedding at all.

However, she couldn’t resist her curiosity — she wanted to see what that woman looked like on her wedding day.

So, she really did see it.

The rumored bride, tall and slender, an incredibly luxurious set of jewelry making her look regal like an empress — truly, it was a surprise.

An orphan with nothing, at her wedding, she had neither parents — she had even inquired about it, because the wedding was simple and low-key, only two people came to the bride’s side: Xu Xiaoya, Zhou Xiaoxuan! All women from small, insignificant households.

Yan Xixi, surprisingly, had the nerve to invite them. Additionally, she chatted and laughed with them every so often, as if those two women were something remarkable.

However, it didn’t affect her aura.

She didn’t feel the slightest bit inferior — look, she was smiling so joyfully, so proudly…

Really seeing herself as the empress type.
