Chapter 109 Wedding (2)
Is she really going to get married?
The experiences of her first half of life kept replaying in her mind. She was on a deserted island and had to kill her friends with her own hands in order to survive.
Seeing the pleading eyes of them as they died under her sword, she once softened her heart, but once she stopped, she would be the one to die.
Later, when she finally left the island, she only had to kill strangers. Before they died, they would look at her with pleading eyes, but at this time, she would no longer be soft-hearted.
She thought that this was how her life would be, killing people and being killed in the end. She wanted to end this kind of life, but she never succeeded.
But unexpectedly, Ruan Haoyu appeared. He was like a ray of light in her life, always appearing when she needed him most. Unconsciously, she became dependent on him and also... fell in love with him.
"Bride, lift your feet and step over the fire basin." The bridesmaid reminded her in a low voice, interrupting her thoughts. She then heard the loud noise of gongs and drums and the bustling voices again.
Lifting her foot over the fire basin, she felt as if she had stepped over half of her life, and then, it was her new life!
Because Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao were both orphans, the complicated rituals could be omitted. As long as they worshipped heaven and earth and everyone was having fun, the ceremony was considered complete.
In the world of society, who cares about so many red tapes?
The wizard was the master of ceremonies today. He stood next to Zhuo Sheng, looking at the two of them with a smile, and walked in holding the red silk in his hand.
Although he knew that their happy life would not last long and their fate was destined to make them unable to have a good ending, but who said fate could not be broken? He firmly believed that one day, their true love would definitely break the fate and achieve the right result.
As for this life, this short life, he could just be happy as long as he could. Since they were destined to be entangled in life after life, he had no way to separate them, so why not bless them?
Sometimes it is very painful to know your destiny but not be able to reveal the secret.
The newlyweds had already walked up to him. The wizard collected his thoughts, cleared his throat, and shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived. Let's begin the ceremony! Bow to heaven and earth."
Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao turned around, knelt down, and kowtowed devoutly towards the heaven and earth outside.
"Two thanks to the high hall."
The two turned around and faced Zhuo Sheng, kneeling down and kowtowed.
"Good boy, get up quickly, get up." Zhuo Sheng was also very excited. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Couple greetings!"
The two stood face to face and bowed to each other.
"The ceremony is completed and sent to the bridal chamber."
Mu Xiaoqiao left the wedding hall with the help of the bridesmaid, and she could hear congratulations all the time. Ruan Haoyu kept returning the greetings with a smile on his face. The noise became farther and farther away, and finally the two returned to the bridal chamber.
Mu Xiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was not for long, her heart was still in her throat. She didn't know why, but she had never been so nervous before. As soon as she relaxed, she wanted to reach out and take off the veil, but Ruan Haoyu grabbed her wrist.
After waving his hand to let the bridesmaids and maids leave the room, Ruan Haoyu smiled softly and whispered in her ear, "How can a bride lift her veil by herself? Are you so impatient to spend your wedding night with me?"
His voice was low and mellow, close to her ear, and the air he blew gently swept across her eardrum, causing her whole body to tremble.
Mu Xiaoqiao was very embarrassed. Although she didn't understand love affairs, she knew that this was Ruan Haoyu's words to tease her. She took a step back and whispered, "Who can't wait?"
Ruan Haoyu was in a good mood, and he knew that Mu Xiaoqiao was too shy, so he stopped teasing her, took her hand and sat down on the bed, laughing softly, "Yes, I can't wait to see how beautiful my bride will be today."
Picking up the wedding scale, Ruan Haoyu slowly lifted the veil.
Under the red veil, Mu Xiaoqiao's eyes were affectionate and her cheeks were rosy. With her makeup on, she looked less heroic than usual and more charming. She was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes away.
"Amu, you are so beautiful." Ruan Haoyu had never seen Mu Xiaoqiao like this before, and he was stunned for a moment.
After hearing what he said, Mu Xiaoqiao stopped talking for a long time. Finally, she couldn't help but raise her eyes and said timidly, "Can I take off these headdresses?"
Ruan Haoyu laughed. She must have never worn so many head ornaments before and must feel extremely uncomfortable.
He raised his hands and began to help her remove the headdress one by one, and instructed: "I will go out to toast the guests later, you can eat something in the room first and wait for me to come back."
"Why is it so troublesome to get married? I would not have gotten married if I had known." Mu Xiaoqiao said with a pout.
"Silly talk." Ruan Haoyu dotingly helped her tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "Getting married is a lifelong event. How can you not get married just because of the trouble? Anyway, it's just this once. You take a rest. I'll be back soon."
Mu Xiaoqiao nodded obediently. Ruan Haoyu kissed her on the lips before reluctantly walking out.
In the guest room, Ling Xiao sat alone in a corner, drinking one glass after another, and soon felt a little drunk.
Zhao Minna walked over and sat down opposite him. After a moment of silence, she also picked up a glass of wine and drank it all.
"If you like her, why didn't you tell her? What's the point of drinking alone here?"
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly, "What if I tell her? If I tell her, we might not even be friends anymore. Isn't it good like this now?"
"It's fine if it's someone else, how are you?"
"Of course I am too. I am happy for her. Love is about giving and letting go, isn't it?"
Zhao Minna frowned, "For me, love can only be possession. Ling Xiao, I know you like Mu Xiaoqiao, but I like you too. I don't care if you have me in your heart or not. It's impossible for you and her to be together. Why don't you look at the people around you?"
Ling Xiao was a little surprised by Zhao Minna's sudden confession. Although they had been together during this period, they never crossed the line. They just traveled the world together and took care of each other. She had never said that she liked him, and he had always treated her just like a brother.
But he forgot, how can there be pure friendship between men and women?
"Minna, I..."
Zhao Minna interrupted him and said, "You don't have to promise me anything. It's your business if you like her, and it's my business if I like you. I won't force you to do anything. If one day you find that I'm not bad and want to be with me, I will be very happy too."
Ling Xiao didn't know what to say. Compared to her, he seemed not as free and easy as Zhao Minna. The things that he couldn't let go of were not worth mentioning to her. How embarrassed was he?
His mood suddenly became clear, and he smiled heartily, "You're right, this is our own business, and no one else is to blame. Come, let's drink today, cheers." After that, he drank another bowl of wine.
