Chapter 204 - SUSPICION ARIESE (PART 2)
After eating, Ge Chen and Xue Lin got ready. Xue Lin expectedly finished all the remaining food that Ge Chen couldn't finish. With her filled stomach, Xue Lin was genuinely happy. Her mood was lifted and she even began to hum a piece of classical music.
"Should I do your hair?" Ge Chen asked her.
"Do we have time?" Xue Lin looked at her wristwatch.
Before she could check, Ge Chen answered, "Ten minutes left."
"Okay then. I want a bun up here." Xue Lin pointed at the back of her head.
"As you wish, my wife." Ge Chen smiled. He became better at these things with each passing day. He liked how smooth and silky her hair was. "Done."
Xue Lin found a mirror attached to the dressing table and looked at her bun through the mirror. Ge Chen braided her hair and then made it a bun. She smiled in satisfaction and said, "It's pretty. Thank you,"
"I'm glad you like it. Do you want to add some flowers?" Ge Chen suggested.
Xue Lin shook her head. "No, I like this better."
"Let's go to the party then, shall we?" Ge Chen reached out his hand toward her.
"Okay." Xue Lin took his hand.
Today, she wore a sky blue dress almost covering her ankles, small white diamond earrings and a silver bracelet. She had a purse in her hand. Ge Chen wore a sky blue colored shirt and a white colored tuxedo and pants.
They didn't know why, they always liked to wear matching clothes on occasions.
Once Xue Lin said, "It's fun playing dress-up with my husband."
From then on, Ge Chen played dress-up with her. Since she liked to wear light colored dress and his choice was also the same, they didn't have a problem matching their outfits. Moreover, Ge Chen always chose dresses for her. Since Xue Lin had zero sense in fashion and Ge Chen knew how to dress in each program, he helped her choose clothes, jewelry and accessories.
It was at nine o'clock. Everyone was present in the seventh deck. It was the largest deck. The whole deck was decorated with white and pink colored roses, iris and belle flowers.
Mu Liang stood in front of the altar. The priest was talking to him happily. Yan Su and Qi Ying went to sit with their partners in the second row. Jonah and Meili sat beside them. Grandpa Mu Cheng and Mu Jin sat in the first row. Jing Sheng and Noel sat beside them.
A couple with unexceptionally grey eyes sat on the third row. They were none other than Ge Chen and Xue Lin.
Noel noticed the couple first. He gave them a polite nod and told his wife about them.
Jing Sheng turned around and saw Xue Lin. She beamed. "Xue Lin, child, how are you?"
"I'm fine, auntie. How are you doing?" Xue Lin asked.
Jing Sheng replied, "I'm very happy."
Xue Lin went along with her, "It's a joyous day. I'm glad to see you healthy."
Jing Sheng was as angelic as ever. "Likewise, you have become healthy. It looks like you are taking care of yourself. I'm relieved. Who is the man beside you?" She looked curious.
"He is my husband, Ge Chen." Xue Lin introduced them. "Chen, this is madam Jing Sheng, Xiao Lan's mother-in-law."
Ge Chen politely bowed. "Hello, Madam. I'm honored to meet you at last, Madam Jing Sheng. I've heard a lot from Xiao Liang."
"Oh my! What a lovely young man. You seemed to be a friend of Xiao Liang."
Ge Chen didn't lie. "Yes, we are good friends."
Xue Lin didn't think too deeply about it. She thought since he worked under Mu Liang, they became good acquaintances.
"I'm happy to see you here, Xiao Chen. Please enjoy today." Jing Sheng looked at Xue Lin and said, "I'm surprised to know that you married before Xiao Lan and Xiao Liang. I was thinking you would be the one who would marry after everyone else."
Xue Lin replied with a polite smile, "I thought so too but it just happened after I went back to China."
Forced marriage could never make a person happy. Jing Sheng knew it from her first hand experience. She asked her worriedly, "Are you happy now?"
"Yes, I am," Xue Lin answered. She was able to get an understanding husband who supported her and took care of her. He had everything she lacked and that made them perfect. She was never been more respected by someone who was close to her.
How can she not be happy?
"That's good." Jing Sheng was relieved.
With grandpa Mu Cheng's permission, the musicians began to play 'Wedding March' by Mendelssohn. Everyone straightened their bodies and looked behind.
A young boy and a girl walked in the v.i.r.g.i.n road hand in hand. They were about five years old. Both of them were wearing white clothes. They were the youngest of the Mu Family. They threw white and pink rose petals as they walked. Everyone smiled seeing the adorable pair.
'For some reason, it reminds me of my wedding ceremony. Just how many times did I change clothes and how many people did I greet back then?' Xue Lin tried to remember.
Mu Lan grabbed Juan's left elbow tightly with her right hand and her left hand grasped the white rose bouquet. They walked out of the shed and proceeded forward slowly. They advanced slowly on the v.i.r.g.i.n road.
Looking at her dazzling gown, Xue Lin's eyes blinded. She whispered, "I feel bad for Xiao Lan. The dress seems very heavy."
"So, it seems." Ge Chen agreed. He knew that Mu Liang would pour everything on his wife's wedding dress but seeing diamonds, silver, and platinum on the dress, he thought that Mu Liang lost a fortune.
While looking at the dress, Xue Lin commented, "It reminds me of our wedding."
Ge Chen commented, "Yes, you looked as beautiful as a phoenix."
