Chapter 199 - 181 Her Man
Since last night, the wedding news of business leader Shen Yanchen has spread everywhere, the media reported it at the first moment late at night, and major networks have put it on the front page, the news quickly spread...Caught off guard but also exciting.
The grand wedding convoy formed a long line, led by a black Ghost. Shen Yanchen, dressed in a white suit, bent down and stepped out from inside.
With short, neat hair and a dignified demeanor, his suit was impeccable. He casually tugged at his hem and then walked straight into the building.
The media followed behind all the way. Shen Yanchen, who usually doesn’t like exposing his private affairs, generously allowed the reporters to follow and shoot this time, because he was announcing to the world that from now on, this woman was his.
Shen Yanchen and Madam Gu stood waiting at the bottom of the hallway, watching the servants assist Gu Qimiao as she slowly walked down the stairs.
No elaborate ceremony was needed; he could disregard everything as long as the person walking towards him in a wedding dress was her.
The wedding dress had been chosen a long time ago; she had lost some weight and had it resized last night, fitting perfectly now. Under the makeup, she looked incredibly beautiful.
With a shy expression, her gaze dared not fall directly on him, holding the handrail, she slowly walked down the spiral staircase.
Shen Yanchen looked up, his gaze fixated on her as she approached, never having felt her so close.
He reached out to her, and she shyly placed her hand in his.
Shen Yanchen pulled gently, and she was right in front of him. Looking down at her, she shyly avoided his gaze.
"Beautiful," he said.
Gu Qimiao lowered her head and smiled slightly, lifting the skirt of her wedding dress gently as they walked into the wedding car together.
Not thinking about the purpose of the wedding, this moment was still very beautiful.
Wearing a white suit, he looked less serious and gloomy than usual, a bit more warm. His hand was large and warm, just like the one that held hers when she was a child, unchanged...
Walking beside him, she only had eyes and heart for him, and the flashing lights around them couldn’t distract her.
Inside the wedding car, sitting side by side, her eyes lowered, she didn’t dare to look at him beside her, afraid her joy would be noticed by him.
"Nervous?"
His voice made her freeze for a moment, then she hurriedly shook her head, smiling somewhat unnaturally, denying, "No..."
"You’re trembling."
Gu Qimiao hastily found an excuse, "It’s a bit cold this morning..."
Shen Yanchen smiled and didn’t expose her lie, instead reaching behind him to take a thin blanket and drape it over her.
The car started slowly, and the convoy behind followed in neat rows.
Gu Qimiao took a deep breath quietly, her gaze always falling outside the window.
While Shen Yanchen’s gaze rested leisurely on her profile, finding her more beautiful the longer he looked.
Luckily, she was willing to go with him during the last wedding crash, or else such a beautiful bride would have become someone else’s...
"Miaomiao."
Gu Qimiao froze, without the makeup, her face might have turned completely red. Being in a small, enclosed space with him was already nerve-wracking enough, but he even called her so intimately...
It seemed like the first time he called her this, not even in childhood.
"...Hmm?" She turned her head, trying her best to look natural.
Shen Yanchen tilted his head, scrutinizing her, "Today, you seem to be avoiding me particularly."
Gu Qimiao smiled awkwardly, "Not at all..."
Shen Yanchen continued to tease her, "Shy? Is it the same feeling as last time wearing a wedding dress?"
Gu Qimiao perfunctorily said, "Almost..."
How could it be the same feeling?
Last time, sitting in the car, was only filled with regret and heartbreak, thinking they would never be together, but this time, it was a wedding with the person she loved the most, how could the feeling be the same?
The familiar route brought the car closer to Mai City and passed by the place where the wedding was last time, her heart filled with emotion.
If it weren’t for him back then, what would the outcome be now?
There was one question she never figured out, or rather, the answer in her heart was something she didn’t dare to believe or think more of.
"Brother Yan Chen..."
"Hmm?"
"Why did you come last time...?"
Shen Yanchen naturally knew what she was asking about, how could he not know the incident she remembered? This was the place where they met again.
Shen Yanchen smiled, actually, in her heart, she must also be expecting him, right?
Without giving her a clear answer, he just smiled meaningfully and said, "What do you think?"
Gu Qimiao frowned slightly, the question in her heart, she didn’t dare to ask, afraid that she would be laughed at for being self-indulgent.
She wanted to ask if he liked her...
Although she always felt that he had some special feelings for her, he never spoke any words of love. She didn’t dare to be sure, didn’t dare to think too much, afraid that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment...
Let it be. Just being with him now is enough to be content with.
With her head facing forward, her eyes slanting to look at him, Brother Yan Chen, being with you is really happy.
She didn’t handle anything related to the wedding. The wedding venue was at the cathedral. When the car arrived at the entrance, she could see there were quite a few people inside.
With the Shen family’s connections, the scene was naturally not small.
Su Nian, Shen Hanciuxiu, and Grandma, as the groom’s parents, greeted the guests outside the cathedral. Shen Hanciuxiu was expressionless, it was always Grandma and Shen Mom welcoming the guests, and he just stood at the door showing face.
Although Shen Hanciuxiu had retired from the business world for many years, entirely leaving it to Shen Yanchen to manage, his legendary stories in the business world made everyone still respect him, and greeted him politely.
The wedding car stopped, and everyone eagerly anticipated the arrival of the bride and groom.
Gu Qimiao held Shen Yanchen’s hand as she got out of the car, and they walked towards the cathedral together. She looked around and saw that even the usually busy Yi An and Su Yan had taken the time to come, but Xiaoxiao wasn’t there. She had always stayed in the hospital, never leaving Mo Ming’s bedside.
Thinking of Mo Ming, Gu Qimiao’s expression dimmed somewhat. When she got married, she thought Mo Ming had to attend, but if it wasn’t for his accident, this absurd fake wedding wouldn’t have taken place.
"Miaomiao, you look so beautiful!" Yi Bao, wearing a little dress and a flower crown on her head, looked like a little fairy, twirled around Gu Qimiao.
Li Yihao walked over and picked her up, "Don’t run around, you might trip Miaomiao later."
Gu Qimiao smiled and said it’s okay.
Before the wedding officially started, Shen Yanchen brought Gu Qimiao to the lounge. "Don’t run around. The heels are too high, you’ll get tired walking. I’ll come to get you later."
Gu Qimiao nodded. As he turned to leave, she suddenly grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Brother Yan Chen... do your parents know the real reason for our marriage?"
Shen Yanchen paused for a moment, then said, "Don’t worry about that."
"You should tell them, otherwise when we get divorced, they might misunderstand..."
Shen Yanchen frowned. She was thinking about divorce before they even got married, which made him start to doubt if she really liked him.
Then he thought, maybe he didn’t give her enough sense of security.
He patted her shoulder reassuringly and said, "I’ll handle it."
Gu Qimiao lightly nodded. He had his own sense of discretion in doing things, she shouldn’t worry too much.
Shen Yanchen left, and Dudu and Jiajia pushed the door open and came in.
"Miaomiao, this dress was originally prepared for you!"
Gu Qimiao paused, not understanding what it meant. Dudu said, "I saw this wedding dress in a magazine before and liked it very much. When I asked about it, they said it was custom-made and not for sale."
Gu Qimiao was stunned. A long time ago, for whom had he originally intended this beautiful dress?
"Miaomiao, you’re really quick in action!"
Gu Qimiao forced a laugh and said to Jiajia, "I’ll tell you the details after the wedding."
"What’s going on? Is there something more?"
"Click" sounded as the door was pushed open again. This time it was Yi An who walked in, "Sister-in-law! Is this sister-in-law for real this time?"
As he spoke, he took out his phone. "Come on, let’s take a group photo, I’ll post it on Weibo! The bride and the bridesmaids!"
After taking the photo, Dudu complained, "An’an, are you about to get married too? Haven’t you and your little rich boyfriend almost settled the deal?"
While Yi An was posting on Weibo, he frowned and said, "Settled what? I feel that although we’ve been dating for so long, the total time we’ve spent together doesn’t even add up to twenty-four hours. It’s either I’m busy or he’s busy, and ever since we became official, he never calls me!"
Dudu said, "You were spoiled by Little Uncle. With Little Uncle being so good, you don’t fancy any other men outside. But An’an, do you really like that rich guy?"
"It’s not about liking. It’s just about planning for the future since I’m getting older. I need to find someone suitable to live with. I can’t live like this forever. When Little Uncle gets married, I’ll be so pitiful alone."
On the other side, standing alone in a quiet corner, Su Yan held a cigarette between his fingers.
Having attended many weddings, every time he saw the look of envy in Shen An’an’s eyes, he always thought about when he would be able to give her a grand wedding.
The sound of "tat tat tat" came from the pocket, it was Shen An’an’s phone.
She didn’t like carrying a bag, so whenever she attended events with him, her phone was always in his pocket.
Su Yan took out the phone and frowned when he saw the man’s name on the screen. After staring at it for two seconds, he answered the call. The person on the other end said, "An’an, I’m also at your brother’s wedding. Where are you?"
Su Yan took a puff of his cigarette and the person on the other end called again, "An’an?"
Slowly exhaling the smoke from his mouth, Su Yan finally spoke, "Don’t look for her anymore."
The person on the other end was clearly stunned, "Who is this?"
"Her man. You’re not worthy of her. She was just bored and toying with you. It ends here." After speaking, Su Yan hung up the phone, deleted the call record, and blocked the contact. This level of familiarity indicated that it wasn’t the first time he had done this.
He checked her contact list again. It was quite decent, mostly work contacts, and the only male celebrity was the one she worked with on a TV show. The call history ended after the TV show, with no further contact thereafter.
It seemed she was obedient enough.
