Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 609: Chapter 589: Chang Xi’s Wedding (Part One)

The Wei Family’s grand wedding was not an extravagant affair; after all, with Old Master Wei’s status, the guests were mainly people from the big courtyard, along with the Luo and Qin families invited by Chang Xi, and other closely associated individuals. Yet, even so, the place slowly filled up with people early in the morning.

Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan had arrived the day before because they were afraid they wouldn’t make it in time if they waited until the day of the wedding.

Elder Wei initially wanted to keep things simple, maybe even have the ceremony in the military barracks, but since neither his granddaughter nor her husband-to-be were military folks anymore, he had no choice but to agree to Chang Xi’s request to have a regular wedding ceremony.

At that moment, Luo Qianqian giggled from behind the door, teasing the people outside, ”Big Brother Ye, start by singing three songs that express your love, and sing loud, okay? The room has pretty good soundproofing.”

Ye Liang’s face was one of helplessness, while Xi Ming and Wei Ming, standing beside him, covered their mouths, trying to hold back their laughter. They definitely wouldn’t be helping him; after all, they were on the bride’s side, though they were supposedly groomsmen.

”I love you, my dear, as mice love rice...” Ye Liang’s voice, loud and grating like a duck’s, was practically unbearable to the ear, but at that moment everyone was too busy laughing to criticize his singing.

”You ask me how deep my love for you is, the moon represents my heart...”

”You are the song in my heart...”

Qin Nuan was laughing so hard she nearly cried, ”Old Master Wei won’t get scared, will he?” After spending a night there, Qin Nuan and Luo Qianqian knew more about the house’s soundproofing than Ye Liang.

The night before, the three of them had been discussing their various concerns about the wedding, when they were interrupted by Elder Wei’s coughing from downstairs.

After all, at that time, Chang Xi was awaiting her wedding the next day, Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran were quite stable, and Luo Qianqian too had a fiancé.

Chang Xi asked her, ”Do you like it?”

She couldn’t come up with any response; did she like it? She didn’t know.

”Ahem, Big Brother Ye, time for the second question, tell us Sister Xi’s five favorite things. This includes but is not limited to food, colors, brands...” Luo Qianqian continued.

”You’re giving hints?” Qin Nuan pouted, ”Then he should name ten!”

”Meat, red, sportswear, sunny days, pandas, durian candy, roast duck, grape-flavored ice cream, flat shoes, and me!!!” Ye Liang heard Qin Nuan’s voice and didn’t hesitate for a second, especially when he shouted the last part the loudest, repeating, ”Most of all, me!!!”

Luo Qianqian bent over with laughter, ”Here comes the last question, what would you name your kids?”

”If it’s a boy, Ye Muxi; if it’s a girl, Ye Nuoxi,” Ye Liang answered confidently, stunning the three people inside the room. Ye Muxi, Ye Liang adores Chang Xi; Ye Nuoxi, Ye Liang promises to Chang Xi.

”Sister Xi, don’t get so emotional that you cry, I still haven’t received the red packet,” Luo Qianqian said as she looked at Chang Xi’s teary eyes and quickly shouted outside, ”Do you have the red packet? I won’t open the door without it.”

”Yes,” Ye Liang answered loudly.

Luo Qianqian cracked open the door a bit, then saw Ye Liang stuff a handful of red packets into her arms before pushing the door open.

Luo Qianqian was dumbfounded; was this how one gave red packets?

Xi Ming and Wei Ming stood there stunned. Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan’s dresses were specially custom-made by Chang Xi, both in apricot-pink.

Qin Nuan wore a strapless flowing gown, while Luo Qianqian was in a spaghetti-strap puffball princess dress.

They had never imagined how well the dresses would suit the two of them.

”They look beautiful,” Xi Ming said as he patted Luo Qianqian on the head, laughing at the red packets in her arms. The Wei family had no children, so all the red packets Ye Liang had brought were now in Luo Qianqian’s arms.

”Hey, Big Brother Ye, don’t rush your declaration of love,” said Qin Nuan with a smile, looking at Luo Qianqian collecting red packets in a daze, ”There’s one last step before you can take the bride away. That is to find the bride’s high heels.”

At this, Luo Qianqian snapped out of it, throwing the red packets into a drawer on the dressing table and ran to Qin Nuan’s side, ”Hehe, I hid them, you have to find them to take Sister Xi away.”

Who knew that right after these words were said, we’d see Xi Ming awkwardly tiptoeing to grab a pair of high heels down from the shelf: ”Height determines the angle,” he said, with a face full of exclamation, which made everyone in the room laugh uncontrollably.

Luo Qianqian pouted and stomped her feet.

Wei Ming laughed until he cried: ”Aren’t you just reminding us? We can see everything clearly that you can’t,” he said while looking at the red high heels in Ye Liang’s hand, his face full of blessings.

Then, he watched Ye Liang pick up Chang Xi before he wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes.

Luo Qianqian handed him a tissue: ”If you’re moved, just say so. You make it sound like it’s because of me that you’re crying. I’m quite aggrieved, you know?”

Wei Ming wiped away his tears and gave her a look: ”What’s wrong with me crying at my sister’s wedding? I can if I want to.”

Luo Qianqian didn’t say anything, but quickly followed them. The four of them, bridesmaids and groomsmen, were in one car, with Xi Ming driving simply because the car was originally his, brought to fill in as a wedding vehicle.

”I’ll take a couple more photos of you later, after all, who knows when the next time will be, ” Qin Nuan said with a smile, patting Luo Qianqian’s shoulder.

Luo Qianqian pursed her lips, hey hey hey, isn’t the next time going to be your own wedding? And you don’t know when that will be????

It wasn’t until they arrived at the restaurant that Luo Qianqian had time to snatch herself a piece of candy, needing to feed herself before the ceremony started.

”Qianqian, don’t you have your phone with you?” Qin Nuan asked, puzzled by the message on her phone.

Luo Qianqian patted herself down, then looked embarrassed: ”I must have left it at Sister Xi’s house.” Where on her would she have room to fit a phone?

As she watched Qin Nuan slide her phone back into her clothes, she inwardly sighed, sometimes having a bigger bust had its advantages, like being able to hide things.

”Your Fourth Brother said that your fiancé packed some food for you, they couldn’t find you.”

???? Luo Qianqian’s eyes widened, food? What a good person: ”Where is it?”

”In the hall, of course. Go and come back quickly,” Qin Nuan said as she waved her hand, calmly watching Chang Xi touching up her makeup and changing her hairstyle, and she also picked up a candy: ”Is Sister Xi going to stay without eating until the ceremony is over?”

Chang Xi laughed bitterly: ”How could I? I barely ate anything this morning, just had a bowl of sugar water.”

Qin Nuan knew this because none of the three of them had eaten.

”Here, here, here, have some hot siu mai, xiao long bao, and shrimp dumplings, one bite each without messing up your makeup,” Luo Qianqian said, bringing over a big bag of snacks not long after: ”I’m so moved, I want to marry him now, he’s so thoughtful.”

Qin Nuan was speechless, weren’t you already his fiancée?

But she didn’t slow down her hands or feet, opening a box that was still steaming, Chang Xi swallowed hard on the side, then watched as Luo Qianqian calmly took a cup of hot soy milk: ”It’s not easy to do the bride’s makeup, let’s not give the makeup artist sister a hard time, so Sister Xi, just have some soy milk, be careful not to get lipstick on your teeth, okay?”

After speaking, Luo Qianqian sat on the side, happily eating with Qin Nuan.

Chang Xi thought it was good that this kind of thing only happened once in a lifetime, or else she would definitely explode.

She angrily drank her soy milk and then saw her mother coming into the makeup room, also holding a cup of something, and was surprised to see her drinking: ”Who gave that to you, they are so thoughtful?” she asked, pointing to Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan on the side.

Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan were eating happily: ”Auntie.”

”Qianqian’s fiancé.” Chang Xi looked at the thing in her mother’s hand and felt helpless: ”It’s also something to drink? Well, forget it then, I’m afraid I’ll want to go to the bathroom later,” she said, knowing it would be too troublesome in her outfit.

”I was thinking of getting something for you both as well, the kid did good, Qianqian is fortunate,” Mrs. Wei said, laughing at the sight of Luo Qianqian and unable to keep from looking affectionate, always grateful to this child for her daughter’s happiness. This is how she always felt, treating Luo Qianqian like her own child.

Luo Qianqian paused for a moment, said nothing, but continued eating, filling the emptiness in her stomach.
