Chapter 349: All In Vain
Su Wan touched the blue wedding gown and tears appeared in her clear eyes. She seemed to have been moved and she sighed within.
It was easier to love than to be together. She hoped she and Jiang Xuecheng would have a long-lasting love and not betray one another, just like the meaning of this blue wedding gown.
Su Wan’s lips curved into a nice radian. She looked at the blue wedding gown in her hands and was dumbfounded.
When Su Wan spaced out, her little cousin, Xie Xuan, who was wearing a white maid-of-honor dress and was applying makeup, urged her immediately.
“Sis, go and change into the wedding gown quickly. We’re all waiting to see!”
Su Wan nodded bashfully before she carried the blue wedding gown into the changing room.
“It’s a bit complicated to wear the wedding gown. Let me come in to help you!”
Just as Lin Fei’er’s voice died down, she followed her immediately.
As Lin Fei’er had expected, the wedding gown had a slim cut and if Su Wan had wanted to put it on herself, she would need extra effort.
With Lin Fei’er’s help, Su Wan managed to change into her wedding gown in about ten minutes.
There was no mirror in the changing room. So, after Su Wan put on her wedding gown, she was worried if she looked good in her gown.
Today was a special day and it was such an important occasion. Su Wan, who was usually confident, was now nervous.
Moreover, this was the first time Su Wan had ever worn such a complicated gown. The train of the gown was long and she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to control it!
Su Wan straightened out the light-colored shawl on her shoulders and looked at Lin Fei’er uneasily as she murmured, “Fei’er, do you think it’s nice?”
Hearing this question, Lin Fei’er replied almost without thinking, “It’s nice, it’s exceptionally beautiful!”
Although she had personally helped Su Wan change into this gown, she was stunned by Su Wan’s beauty in this gown that she almost suffocated.
She finally understood that if the description she often quoted in her ancient Chinese novels— ‘Helen of Troy’—were to apply to Su Wan, it would be real.
Su Wan was so beautiful that Lin Fei’er wanted to take her home to keep for herself.
“Go out quickly. The people outside must be dying to see you!”
Lin Fei’er pushed Su Wan as she laughed playfully. When Su Wan heard Lin Fei’er’s assurance, she took a deep breath and then lifted the train of her gown as she walked out slowly.
When everyone in the dressing room saw Su Wan, they thought to themselves, ‘There are indeed people in this world who are so beautiful it makes people hold their breaths, not daring to even flinch.’
They were afraid that even their slightest gesture would disturb the beauty in front of them.
All the descriptive words were now pale and powerless. Only that blue like the vast blue sky was deeply embedded in the mind.
A glance was forever and it was destined to be unforgettable in the future.
They knew that Su Wan was pretty but her beauty was never aggressive and it was fragrant, just like the quiet orchids in the valley.
However, today, she was destined to gorgeously surprise the audience and command the floor.
Every gesture of hers was undoubtedly of an unsurpassed beauty of a generation.
There was silence for nearly one minute and the youngest, Xie Xuan, exclaimed and broke the stiff atmosphere.
“Sis, you look gorgeous! You’re the most beautiful bride in the world!”
Su Wan smiled magnanimously and walked slowly toward Xie Xuan. She touched her hair lovingly.
“Xuanxuan, you’ll look prettier than I do when you get married in the future!”
Xie Xuan nodded shyly and then looked at Su Wan with embarrassment. “When I get married, I’ll be satisfied as long as I have half of your beauty!”
Her innocent words amused the audience all of a sudden.
Miss Zhou examined Su Wan and looked at her long neck. Suddenly, she remembered something and waved at Su Wan immediately.
“Miss Su, I’ve almost forgotten something important!”
Su Wan was taken aback and when she was about to ask further, she saw Miss Zhou opening a delicate sandalwood box in front of the dresser and taking out a blue diamond necklace.
The color of that diamond necklace was like the ocean, mysterious and magnificent. Under the light, it sparkled and it was amazingly beautiful.
It was the necklace that Su Wan had bought at the Lu’s auction –’Touched’!
Touched at one glance and the city falls for your sake.
This blue diamond necklace, ‘Touched’, was Su Wan’s parents’ token of love.
Su Wan’s eyes sparkled and she stood in a trance. Was Jiang Xuecheng’s choice of the blue wedding gown inspired by this necklace?
No matter what, there were lots of surprises brought to her by Jiang Xuecheng today.
She really wanted to see him more and more.
Just when Su Wan spaced out, she heard the makeup artist’s reminder.
“Miss Su, let me wear it for you.”
Su Wan nodded smilingly and then lowered her head. Today, she was still wearing the seven centimeter high heels. If she didn’t lower her head, it would be difficult for Miss Zhou to wear the necklace for her.
“Perfect!”
Before Miss Zhou’s voice died down, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door.
“Sis-in-Law, are you ready? The wedding car is here…”
With a gentle cry, the dressing room was opened by someone.
Everyone looked toward the door and saw two women, one old and one young, standing at the door. It was Luo Xiuxiu and Sheng An’ning, who had just come from the Jiang’s old mansion.
For the happy occasion, Luo Xiuxiu who was usually clad simply, was now wearing a red coat. Her gray hair was neatly tied up and she looked neat and energetic.
On the other hand, it was clear that Sheng An’ning had deliberately dressed up today. Her waist-long hair was tied up and secured with a silver tiara. Her face with makeup was so beautiful and she looked like a dazzling flower in full bloom.
What was more special was her white gown with one shoulder strap and a bare back. Diamonds studded her white fluffy skirt and its overall design was gorgeous!
If it was said to be the wedding gown, many people would believe!
Sheng An’ning held Luo Xiuxiu’s hand. She had thought that by appearing in this bridal gown, she would grab the attention of everyone present.
However, when she saw Su Wan’s wedding gown, which was as blue as the sky after the rain, the smile on her face froze.
How could this happen?
Who had ever seen a bride not wearing a white wedding gown at a wedding?
She had spent lot of money to painstakingly hire a designer to customize the gown for so long. All she had wanted was for everyone to misunderstand that she was the bride!
However, now, her plan was all in vain!
This was the second time that Lin Fei’er and Sheng An’ning were meeting but she didn’t like this vicious woman at all. When she saw Sheng An’ning’s deliberate dress up, she could almost read her mind.
Lin Fei’er frowned in disgust and whispered in Su Wan’s ears, “Wan, luck is on your side that your CEO could foretell and had bought a blue wedding gown.”
Otherwise, with Sheng An’ning’s dressing and her resemblance to Su Wan, people would certainly misunderstand when it came to the wedding banquet!
