Preparations for the wedding are proceeding smoothly.

The makeup artist arranged by Song Mengwan arrived at Ning You's house early to wait.

Both of Ning Wan's wedding dresses were designed and prepared by Ning You herself.

The dragon and phoenix gown she is wearing now is the "King of Gowns" with a gold thread embroidery density of 100%.

Ning You specially invited top-notch embroiderers to prepare this outfit a year ago.

The embroidery on the skirt features dragons and phoenixes, symbolizing long-lasting affection.

The lotus flowers blooming side by side symbolize a beautiful union of hearts.

The embroiderers are very skilled.

The dragon and phoenix are lifelike, and the lotus is elegant and luxurious.

This not only contains Ning You's blessings for Ning Wan, but also the ingenuity of several embroiderers.

Even if you take it out to admire it again in the future, it won't feel outdated.

On the contrary, they have very high value for collection, preservation of value, and inheritance.

Song Mengwan circled around Ning Wan and couldn't help but praise, "She looks so beautiful... but I feel like something's missing?"

Ning You remained silent and quietly carried out many brocade boxes from the room.

Zhao Jiajia also helped spread the brocade boxes on the sofa and opened them one by one.

It was shiny inside, and it was all gold.

Necklace, gold hairpin, dragon and phoenix bracelet.

Gold ingots, gold bars, and gold ruyi (a type of scepter).

It's so dazzling that it leaves people breathless and exclaiming how extravagant it is.

Indeed, you only realize how precious gold is when you reach a certain age.

Song Mengwan's eyes widened in astonishment: "My goodness! Does all this gold add up to at least 2000 grams?"

"I think so," Ning You replied as Ning Wan put on her hairpin. "That ruyi alone weighs 500 grams."

Song Mengwan was greatly shocked.

She grinned and stepped forward, asking, "Sister, my dear sister, do you need another sister?"

Ning You rolled her eyes at her, somewhat speechless.

Then he stepped aside and said, "See, that's it."

Song Mengwan looked up and saw Ning Wan surrounded by a pile of gold jewelry.

Besides the elaborate gold necklace around her neck, Ning Wan wore two dragon and phoenix bracelets on each of her wrists.

Not even one of the ten fingers was missed.

What impressed Song Mengwan the most was the phoenix hairpin in Ning Wan's hair.

The hairpin has a lively and elegant design.

Above the auspicious clouds stood a dancing phoenix, its head held high, letting out a long cry.

The craftsman's meticulousness and patience are perfectly embodied in every feather on the phoenix.

Song Mengwan could even see the outline of each feather clearly.

This can no longer be described simply as jewelry; it is simply the most perfect work of art!

Ning You gently took Ning Wan's hand and said, "What our Wanwan didn't have before, you will have in the future. The love that your parents couldn't give you, your sister will make up for a thousand times over. Our Wanwan is also a little girl who is cherished in the palm of someone's hand. Even if it's not Chen Fu, it will be someone else, because the best Wanwan deserves the most solemn and presentable love."

"This gold is your dowry from your sister. When you are rich, it will be your gold and silver jewelry. When you are poor, it will be your means of survival and your confidence to face anything."

Ning Wan couldn't help but hug her with tears welling up in her eyes: "Sister..."

"Alright, alright, don't cry~ It's a joyous occasion, you can't cry..." Ning You comforted her and wiped away her tears.

Even though her eyes were already brimming with tears.

But this time, she could finally stand firmly by her side like an older sister...

...

Because Ning Jianshe and Su Lin both went to prison.

There are no other relatives or uncles in the family.

So Ning You, as the older sister, took the place of the elder and sat on the sofa to receive Ning Wan and Shen Fu's kowtows and tea.

Taking the tea from Shen Fu, Ning You reluctantly told him, "Shen Fu, I'm entrusting my only sister to you. If you treat her badly, I'll kill you."

"Don't worry, sister." Shen Fu smiled faintly, her phoenix eyes crinkling. "If that day ever comes, I will kill myself first."

"Pah, pah, pah, what are you saying on such a joyous occasion?" Xu Xiufeng quickly stopped their strange conversation: "Children say whatever comes to mind, it's all for good luck."

"These two kids are absolutely ecstatic today," Chen Limin said with a smile, trying to smooth things over. "On this joyous day, we wish the newlyweds a long and happy marriage, and many children and grandchildren!"

"I see..."

Ning You put down her teacup and handed them the red envelopes she had prepared in advance.

His face beamed with joy: "Then I wish you a lifetime of happiness and unwavering love."

...

When evening came, Ning Wan took off her dragon and phoenix gown and changed into another wedding dress.

The wedding dress was also designed by Ning You.

She was very familiar with Ning Wan's physical advantages.

The off-the-shoulder design of the wedding dress showcased Ning Wan's elegant shoulder and neck lines. The fitted boning and fishtail bodice further accentuated her slender waist, making it appear incredibly delicate.

Below that is a large and gorgeous train.

The skirt was densely studded with crystals and gemstones.

Under the refraction of the light, the gemstones shimmered with dazzling brilliance.

As she walked, the skirt swayed slightly, rippling like waves on water.

Even Song Mengwan, who has tried on countless haute couture gowns, was still amazed by this wedding dress.

Especially when Ning Wan wore the gorgeous wedding dress, it didn't overshadow her at all.

Instead, it made Ning Wan's quiet and pleasant temperament appear even more noble and gorgeous.

Ning You turned around, took out a blue crystal necklace, and put it around Ning Wan's neck: "It looks better this way."

The stunning blue quartz is dazzling yet understated.

The soothing and clear blue color is so pleasing to the eye that it makes one feel relaxed and happy.

Just like Ning Wan as a person, she is gentle and healing.

Just then, Shen Fu walked in with Ning Yanshu.

Upon seeing Ning Wan, Shen Fu froze on the spot.

Ning Wan stood there in a noble and pure white wedding dress.

Her delicate features were like white jade and pearls, not as ostentatious as gemstones, yet breathtakingly beautiful.

She seems to be a fairy who accidentally fell to earth.

It's breathtaking, and it makes you want to get closer.

Shen Fu wanted to reach out and gently touch her, but he was afraid of disturbing the fairy and scaring her away.

Until Ning Yanshu's delighted voice came from beside him—

"Mom!" Ning Yanshu ran excitedly to Ning Wan, her little face beaming. "You look like a fairy from heaven!"

Ning Wan smiled gently: "Our Xiao Shu looks very handsome today too!"

Beneath the serious little suit and bow tie, there's a hint of cleverness, quirkiness, and cuteness.

Ning Yanshu held her hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

With hopeful eyes, he asked cautiously, "Mom, after tonight, will you fly back up into the sky and disappear again?"

Everyone was amused by Ning Yanshu's innocent and childlike words.

Only Ning Wan smiled and squatted down.

She took his hand and solemnly promised, "No, Mom won't leave again."

"...Because Mom's favorite person is here."
