Chapter 237 Blessing
Soon, Xu Songning and Xiang Yun received wedding invitations from Zhou Qiao and Qin You.
Xu Songning wanted to test Xiang Yun's attitude towards marriage, but Xiang Yun acted too normally. He didn't react much to Zhou Qiao's marriage proposal, nor did he mention their progress to Xu Songning.
When the scene of the male and female leads getting married was playing on TV, Xu Songning stole a glance at Xiang Yun, wanting to see if he would react. Xiang Yun calmly put his arm around her and fed her a date.
At this moment, shouldn't he look at her with deep affection and ask, "Will you marry me?"
Or, could you mention marriage a little?
Xiang Yun's reaction was too indifferent, which made Xu Songning a little conflicted.
Xiang Yun moved his arm and cleared his throat. Xu Songning pricked up his ears, thinking he was finally going to bring it up, but he just changed his posture and said, "My hand is numb."
Okay, I should hold your arm down so your hand goes numb!
Xu Songning sulked and turned off the TV. "I'm not watching anymore, I'm going to sleep!"
"Okay." Xiang Yun got up and was then sent to the bathroom outside by Xu Songning to take a shower.
A faint smile appeared on his lips as he picked up his clothes and left.
It seems that Sister Xu is not entirely indifferent.
Zhou Qiao's wedding day was fast approaching. Xu Songning was her bridesmaid, and Xiang Yun was Qin You's best man. The two were briefly separated.
Lu Xiaomeng was arranging Zhou Qiao's wedding dress, a fitted white fishtail lace dress. The simple style was full of design sense. Unlike the traditional large skirt, it had its own characteristics. It was revised several times before it was finally settled.
The makeup artist was applying the final eye makeup to Zhou Qiao. Zhou Qiao opened her other eye and said, "Song Ning, I can't believe it. I was actually the first of the three of us to get married. I thought I wouldn't get married until I was thirty."
Xu Songning stood behind her, waiting for the makeup artist to finish the eye makeup. She put her hand on Zhou Qiao's shoulder and looked at her makeup. "Qiao Qiao, you look really beautiful today."
"Of course! When am I not beautiful?" Zhou Qiao got up, changed into her wedding dress, and prepared to get her hair and makeup done.
When the wedding dress was hanging on the wall, it didn't seem that amazing, but when Zhou Qiao put it on, Lu Xiaomeng's mouth dropped open. "Wow, it really suits you, Sister Zhou."
"It's alright, it cost me five figures to get this dress done. If Qin You hadn't paid for it, I really wouldn't have wanted to go through all this trouble." Zhou Qiao lifted the hem of her dress and sat back down, while the makeup artist continued to style her hair.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it's worth the trouble," Lu Xiaomeng said with a bright smile.
“Who says you can only get married once?” Zhou Qiao said.
Xu Songning agreed, saying that given their personalities, they might get married a second time.
"By the way, Songning, haven't you and Captain Xiang talked about marriage? Are you two planning to talk a little longer?" Zhou Qiao asked.
Lu Xiaomeng also looked at Xu Songning with curiosity. In her mind, Sister Xu and Captain Xiang's relationship was much more stable, unlike Sister Zhou and Qin You, whose breakup, reconciliation and marriage were all done in a rocket-like fashion, which was really unexpected.
"..." Xu Songning didn't know how to answer. This was her own question. She was a little afraid of marriage, so she answered truthfully, "We haven't talked about it."
Zhou Qiao was somewhat surprised. Captain Xiang seemed like a very reliable man; surely he hadn't thought about his future with Xu Songning?
"You haven't talked to him? If you're not in a hurry, isn't Captain Xiang? Isn't his family pressuring him?"
“…I don’t know.” Xu Songning shrugged.
Zhou Qiao stopped the conversation at the right time. She knew about Xu Songning's family situation and Xu Songning himself. If she wanted to talk about this, she would bring it up regardless of whether Xiang Yun wanted to or not.
If they haven't talked about it, then it's very likely that Xu Songning doesn't want to.
Zhou Qiao respects her friend's decision; whether or not they get married, as long as they're happy, that's all that matters.
When the wedding officially began, Xu Songning and Lu Xiaomeng, dressed in light-colored bridesmaid dresses, stood in the crowd, and she saw Xiang Yun again.
Xiang Yun was dressed in a well-tailored suit and a bow tie. He leaned slightly forward and talked to the person next to him.
Xu Songning seemed to see his wedding day again, and was somewhat stunned.
Noticing her gaze, the person opposite her pushed through the crowd and walked to her side. "Are you tired?"
"Not tired," Xu Songning said with a smile, shaking his head.
She actually wanted to ask, "Why do you never talk to me about marriage? Is it because you don't have that plan either?" If Xiang Yun didn't have that plan either, she would be a little disappointed.
Even though she herself didn't really want to get married, this strange sense of disappointment just popped up out of nowhere.
"It's almost time for the bride to throw her bouquet, do you want to go over?" Xiang Yun asked her.
Zhou Qiao was on the stage, her eyes shining as she looked at them. A group of young men and women had already gathered in front of the stage.
"How about..." Xu Songning hesitated.
“Okay,” Xiang Yun said.
Xu Songning was stunned. She hadn't said anything yet, so how could Xiang Yun have already agreed?
"No matter what you think, I'll stand with you." Xiang Yun took her hand, and her warm palm made her not want to let go.
Xu Songning felt that Xiang Yun knew everything, including her fears and worries.
Zhou Qiao picked up the microphone, shook her bouquet, and said, "Master of Ceremonies, could you please bring over the things I prepared?"
The emcee took several gold ingot dolls handed to him by someone next to him and gave them to Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiao tossed the bouquet into Qin You's arms, holding the gold ingot dolls in her hands. "Let's change the bouquet tossing rules, okay? Today is my wedding, so everyone has to listen to me. I'm tossing gold ingots to wish everyone great wealth and prosperity!"
The audience became even more excited. Could the allure of a bouquet be greater than the temptation of sudden wealth? Of course, everyone wanted gold ingots!
Zhou Qiao turned her back, threw the gold ingot doll off the stage, picked up the bouquet, and divided it into two small bouquets.
"As for the bouquet, I'm giving it to my two best friends. Although I don't know when one of them will get married or whether the other will get married at all, I want to say that marriage is just one experience in life. Whether you experience it or not, as a friend, I offer my blessings unconditionally. Come find me to collect it when you're back in the audience."
Xu Songning's eyes welled up with tears. The real feeling of watching her best friend get married finally settled in her heart. Then she looked at Lu Xiaomeng, who was already sobbing.
"Sister Xu, do you think Sister Zhou will still have time to play with us in the future?"
Xu Songning patted her head. "Don't worry, can marriage stop her? Even when she broke her arm, she still managed to sneak off to drink and look at handsome guys."
After the wedding ceremony, Zhou Qiao changed into a toasting dress and handed two small bouquets to Xu Songning and Lu Xiaomeng, saying, "I wish you happiness, my dear sisters!"
"I wish you happiness," Xu Songning replied with a smile.
