Deliberately Approaching

Chapter 573 - 535: Huanhuan Happily Comes to Receive the Bride

The next morning, a gentle breeze brushed against her face.Tang Xiaowan didn’t know what time she had fallen asleep last night, but as soon as Wang Meijuan called out to her, she opened her eyes and sat up abruptly.

"Did I oversleep?"

"No, it’s just six o’clock."

"Oh, right, makeup."

After freshening up, she saw six young women, each carrying a metallic case, walk in. They were dressed uniformly, with name tags on their chests that also listed their responsibilities.

Today, everything from makeup to photography was handled by the staff from the glamour bridal salon.

Their motto was to keep the good stuff within the family.

As the cases were opened and the music started, a festive and busy day began.

Everyone was busy with their tasks; all Tang Xiaowan had to do was to cooperate nicely, without having to think about what to do next or worry about which jewelry to match. Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.

"It’s almost time, hurry up!" Ye Wanhua came in yelling and then left.

Fifteen minutes later, everything was ready.

Tang Xiaowan, dressed to the nines, smiled sweetly.

Fortunately, no dark circles under her eyes.

I really am a beautiful bride!

Just as Tang Xiaowan was about to grab her phone, Wang Meijuan suddenly came back into the room: "Miss, they’re here, the car procession has arrived, hurry up and get ready."

The bridesmaids exchanged smiles.

"It’s okay, Meijuan, leave it to us," Jiuyue said confidently, adjusting her skirt.

"Alright, everyone give it your all, let’s go, let’s go!"

Tang Xiaowan: "..."

It’s as if we’re treating this like a fall sports day.

But I really am so nervous.

Okay, let’s do this. I’m the best!

At eight o’clock sharp, a large group charged upstairs, led by Leng Lingxiao, followed by a uniformed group of groomsmen and Shen Yiming among others.

They even brought along loudspeakers and a band.

"Attention everyone inside, we’re here to fetch the bride, we’re all one loving family, so to cut a long story short, let us in."

With those words, the accompanying music began to play.

"Let us in, please."

"Take a look at how handsome the six-foot-tall groom is!"

"To the lovely and beautiful ladies, help us out, we’re pressed for time with a heavy task, is that okay?"

"How about a dance, or maybe a song?"

Tang Xiaowan in her bedroom couldn’t help but giggle to herself, finding the group hilarious, like a comedy troupe.

"Miss, you can’t go easy on them!"

"Don’t worry, I won’t."

Finally, Wang Meijuan let out a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the bridesmaids silently watched the groomsmen’s various antics, with Cheng Shi standing immovably like a door god at the entrance.

A few minutes later, the noise died down.

Then Jiuyue stepped forward and declared loudly, "First challenge, please translate the following sentence into six different languages, as long as the meanings are similar."

After saying that, Jiuyue pulled out a scroll.

[Destined hearts are known to each other, lifelong companionship is promised.]

Shen Yiming: "..."

Wow, they made it so formal!

Zhao Renjie couldn’t help but wonder: why were all the bridesmaids wearing the same kind of masks?

He suspected that there was a challenge coming that involved them.

The bride? Yes, that’s right!

Of course, it must be to have the groom pick which one is the real bride.

Leng Lingxiao, however, couldn’t stop smiling.

He wasn’t worried at all. Among the groomsmen was a super scholar who was fluent in six languages.

For a while, the second floor corridor was bustling with activity, while Wang Jinhui, Tang Mei, and others were receiving wave after wave of guests with congratulations in the downstairs hall.

The guests were either rich or noble, all well-known figures.

Li Zishen, along with his brother Li Zihan, caused quite a stir upon their arrival.

"He shouldn’t belong to the groom’s side?"

"Just two days ago, he specially sent many expensive red wines to Leng Lingxiao’s bachelor party."

"Why make such a clear distinction?"

The soft murmurs of a few people came to an abrupt halt the moment Li Zishen entered the hall.

In their place were smiles and nods of recognition.

With his made-to-order suit and pricey watch, Li Zishen exuded nobility from every aspect, his features marked with a touch of scholarly grace and humility.

He wasn’t there to ride on the coattails of the occasion for popularity; he was there to see Tang Xiaowan.

His brother, Li Zihan, maintained a smile and gestured throughout the entire event.

The words his brother had spoken the night before had stayed with him, and from that moment he fixed his tie after getting out of the car, he carried himself with the poise appropriate for a scion of the Leng Family.

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Li Zishen slowly walked up to the reception area and took the initiative to extend his right hand.

Wang Junchen raised an eyebrow as he shook it: "Thank you."ang Xiaowan, arm-in-arm with Leng Lingxiao, made her way to the first-floor hall.

Next up were the tea ceremony and group photos.

Leng Lingxiao, in a black custom-made suit, was strikingly handsome, with an extraordinary demeanor; Tang Xiaowan, in a beautiful white wedding gown and a platinum tiara, was like an ethereal sprite who had descended to earth.

The tea ceremony was simplified by Tang Mei, proceeding quickly, yet the red envelopes were very generous.

During the photo session, Tang Xiaowan, surrounded by three exceptional men—her husband Leng Lingxiao, grandfather Wang Jinhui, and father Wang Junchen—beamed with sweetness, truly the picture of a winner in life.

"Has my makeup smeared, my lipstick?"

Leng Lingxiao found Tang Xiaowan’s pouting adorable, his eyes filled with adoration: "No, and even if it smears, it’s fine, I will help you fix it."

"Oh, we need to throw candy when we head out."

"Mmm, and rose petals too."

"We need to change into different clothes before the tea ceremony at your place, and switch to gold jewelry." Tang Xiaowan furrowed her brows, trying hard to recall the upcoming agenda.

"Silly girl, you don’t need to worry about these things."

While Leng Lingxiao made light of it, he was, in fact, even more excited and nervous inside than Tang Xiaowan.
