Chapter 573 The Happy Day Has Arrived

The old man had already arranged a place for the guests, but who would have thought that they were unwilling to go and wanted to follow Li Rongsen? Naturally, it was not easy to refuse their kindness, so he had to let them out of the city and close the city gate, waiting to open it again at an auspicious time.

His heart was also beating like a drum. Although he had tried his best to organize a lively wedding banquet for An Yan and Li Rongsen in the past few days, he always felt that something was wrong.

I hope this wedding banquet is not a fleeting dream and that nothing unexpected happens.

But there are exceptions. Some people just want to be there to watch the show. Ouyang Yude and Ouyang Mingxi, who came from the Sea Country, are still in the city. They are very leisurely and look completely indifferent. They don't join in the fun. Now that it is almost time for the wedding, they are still staying in their own room.

Ouyang Yude said to Ouyang Mingxi, "Brother, since we're here, we should put on a good show. We should at least pretend to give you our blessing."

"Why bother? They can't be together." Ouyang Mingxi said with a chuckle.

"Are you so sure, big brother?" Ouyang Yude just came to join in the fun. If big brother hadn't insisted on him coming, he might not have come. After all, it wasn't a happy event for him.

Ouyang Mingxi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if smiling, and said, "The main event will begin soon."

"What kind of drama is this? It's just a wedding ceremony, what's the point?" Ouyang Yude disagreed, adding, "It has nothing to do with us anyway."

"I'm going to meet her today to settle this matter." Ouyang Mingxi said with a hint of meaning.

But Ouyang Yude was even more confused. He said, "Brother, you are becoming more and more mysterious. I can't understand you at all. If this marriage can be successful, you and I will be asking for trouble. If this marriage cannot be successful, I guess the atmosphere in this city will be bad." Ouyang Yude felt that it was a wasted trip and it was very boring.

"Why are we here today?" Ouyang Mingxi asked him.

"Watch them get married." Ouyang Yude thought the question was strange, but he answered it timidly. After all, he noticed that Ouyang Mingxi's eyes were not very good, as if he was disappointed in him.

Ouyang Mingxi glanced at him and said, "Let me show you what your sister-in-law looks like in her wedding dress."

Ouyang Yude didn't understand at all, but was also shocked. He thought that his elder brother had never said that he wanted to marry a woman, but today he dared to say the word "sister-in-law", which showed that he was serious about this woman.

"Do you think I was just talking to you in the past?" Ouyang Mingxi had already seen through his thoughts.

Ouyang Yude quickly lowered his head and said, "I dare not. It's just that I thought that Big Brother might not have real feelings for any woman. He was just talking."

Ouyang Mingxi ignored him and just walked aside. He stretched out his hand and found that the red line on his little finger was already very clear. He believed that An Yan should be ready too.

An Yan was dressing up in her room. She had already tied her hair into a high bun and was wearing a golden crown designed for her by Li Rongsen himself, with many long tassels hanging down.

"The city lord is so beautiful, I'm afraid no one can compare to her." The matchmaker praised An Yan in the mirror, and put a gold necklace on her and a few bracelets on her wrists.

"It's a bit heavy." An Yan said. She was not used to wearing so many jewelries, piled up layer by layer. But she also knew that there were rules and it would not do to wear one less.

"That's what marriage is all about. First, to bring joy, second, to show off your nobility, and third, to let everyone see how unique our West City Lord is." The matchmaker explained to her with a smile.

"Half of it is the old man's idea, and half of it is Li Rongsen's idea. I can't refuse their kindness." An Yan chuckled. She took a look at the gold necklace on her chest. It was so exquisite that it could be called a work of art. If it were to be auctioned outside, it would not be sold for less than 100 million.

"Our Mr. Li is truly a talented man. He's first-rate at everything he does. Even when it comes to making jewelry like this, he's unmatched. He's a perfect match for the City Lord." Bridegroom couldn't help but praise Li Rongsen again, adding, "All the jewelry on her body was made by him. How could a man be so meticulous?"

An Yan chuckled and glanced down at the gold collar on her chest.

The other girls standing by also began to praise him.

"I guess those guests are envious."

"Of course. Even I envy Mr. Li. Why am I not a man?"

"You think you can win the city lord's heart just because you're a man? That's a naive thought."

"At least you have to be better looking than Mr. Li."

The bridesmaid quickly stopped them and said, "You are so unruly and presumptuous in front of the city lord. The old man will punish you later."

But An Yan was not angry. Today was a big day, and there was no old man around, so she let them relax a little and said, "It's okay."

"You need to wear another bracelet." The matchmaker said as she put another one on An Yan.

An Yan chuckled. She didn't know what was wrong. She felt a vague sense of unease in her heart, but she didn't know why. In the end, she attributed it to the fact that she was nervous because she was going to get married.

"City Lord, please stand up and try on your outer robe." The bridesmaid gestured for An Yan to stand up.

An Yan walked out from the dressing table and stretched out her arms to let the matchmaker put on the brocade robe for her. It was indeed a perfect fit.

Mei Die came in from outside, she was also wearing a pink long dress, and said to An Yan, "I came to see you, is there anything I can help you with?" Then she looked An Yan up and down and praised, "You are so beautiful, Li Rongsen is so lucky."

"I am also a blessed person." An Yan said.

Meidie nodded heavily and said, "I will stay by your side today. If you need any help, just tell me. Beifeng has gone out of the city to accompany Li Rongsen."

"Okay." An Yan nodded and asked, "Do you know if Li Rongsen is coming?"

Meidie laughed and said, "I heard from the servants that they are on the way and should have arrived."

An Yan finally felt relieved, and then she heard Mei Die say, "So you can't live without him for a moment either. It's only been a short time, and you already miss him."

Everyone around him laughed too.

An Yan was not afraid of being laughed at and said, "That's natural. If I don't think about him, who else should I think about?"

Meidie lowered her head and just smiled, thinking that what she said was absolutely right.

At this time, a servant came running in from outside and said, "The old man asked me to come over to tell you that the auspicious time is approaching. Please go to the city gate as soon as possible."

"I understand. You go down first." Meidie said to the servant.

"Would the City Lord like to hold a fan or cover himself with a red gauze scarf?" The matchmaker came over with a peacock feather fan and a thin red gauze scarf, indicating that An Yan could choose one by herself.

An Yan looked at them and said, "They're all fine, let's get the fan." Then she stretched out her hand, as she thought the fan would be more convenient.

The bridesmaid handed her the fan and said, "Please keep your face covered at all times, Lord. Mr. Li must not see your face before we enter the bridal chamber."

Mei Die couldn't help laughing when she heard this, which made Xi Niang laugh embarrassedly. She said, "This is a rule. Everyone knows that the City Lord and Mr. Li meet every day."

An Yan also laughed. She held the fan in front of her face and asked, "Is this so?"

"Yes." The bridesmaid nodded with a smile, and then gestured for An Yan to go out with her.
