Chapter 136: Carrying the Romance to the End
Mingming was very low-key and quietly lined up with everyone to get the marriage certificate. After getting it, she returned home and found that her marriage had gone smoothly. Jingrong didn't mind this. After all, he was her boyfriend, no, now he is her husband. After all, her husband is a star. As the wife of a star, she should at least have this kind of awareness.
On the contrary, G-Dragon was very cautious. He had persuaded Jingrong to get the marriage certificate that day and stopped Jingrong from asking Secretary Lin and others to handle it on his behalf. Jingrong agreed only after he used his personal guarantee that it would not attract attention. As a result, not only did he get attention, but there were also discussions everywhere. He knew that most people were supportive and congratulated them, but after all, there were so many discussions, and it didn't mean that his wife liked the hustle and bustle as much as he did.
G-Dragon got his marriage certificate and then accompanied Jingrong to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. On the way home, he started receiving text messages wishing him a happy wedding. He then found out that G-Dragon had not told anyone outside of Big Bang about the marriage certificate, and it was unlikely that his friends had leaked the news. So he got a little suspicious. When he got home, before he had time to check, his sister and brother-in-law came up to them, smiling at them and saying, "Happy wedding!"
Quan Zhilong was surprised: "How do you all know this?"
"Everyone in the country knows about this..." Before Quan Dami could finish her words, the little one rushed forward and said, "Uncle and aunt, you are getting married today, right?"
G-Dragon glanced at Jing Rong subtly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Quan Dami smiled and said, "Son, ask your uncle and aunt for red envelopes so that you can be their flower girl at the wedding."
When the little one heard this, he immediately cupped his hands. Neither Quan Zhilong nor Jingrong paid attention to this. In the end, it was Quan's mother who came up and gave her grandson a big red envelope. Then she looked at Jingrong and said, "You've been out all day today. Are you tired?"
"fine."
"Go sit down and rest for a while."
The little one held the red envelope in his pocket and held Jingrong's hand: "Aunt, I will go to read with you and you can read the text to your sister."
"Okay." It was obvious that they were going to discuss the details of the wedding in the living room. Jing Rong was happy to be the boss and stopped joining in the fun. He directly took the little one to the bedroom.
The Quan family downstairs were discussing animatedly, and didn't come up to call Jingrong and the others for dinner until dinnertime. The little one patiently read the text for over an hour, but as soon as the door opened, he darted out. Quan Zhilong leaned against the door and urged him to slow down. After watching the little one safely downstairs, he looked at Jingrong and asked, "What did you do to him to make him run faster than a rabbit?"
"He didn't do anything. He was just reading the text." Jingrong glanced at the book still open on the table. Quan Zhilong raised an eyebrow. "He's been reading for over an hour?"
Jingrong nodded, and Quan Zhilong chuckled: "No wonder he ran away."
Jing Rong just glanced at him without saying a word. He reached out to pick up the little one's books and stationery on the table and put them into her small schoolbag. Quan Zhilong sat down and put his arm around her waist: "The little one must want to rest, but seeing how serious you are, she doesn't dare to do anything... Don't be so strict with our baby in the future. It hurts me even if you don't feel sorry for her!"
Jing Rong rolled his eyes at him and emphasized again: "I didn't do anything."
"I know you didn't do anything, but the problem is that you don't have to do anything. The expressionless kid wouldn't dare to move."
"Do I look so fierce and evil?" Jing Rong narrowed his eyes. Quan Zhilong immediately shook his head, "No, my wife is a beautiful flower."
Jing Rong didn't say anything. Quan Zhilong buried his head in her neck, smelling the sweet fragrance coming from her body. The corners of his mouth curled up and he said, "The wedding dress I asked a Milanese wedding dress master to design will probably be airlifted over tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, just in time for our wedding photos. How about we take these wedding photos at home for now? It's not convenient for you to go far, so we can take another set of wedding photos during our honeymoon next year."
Jing Rong nodded, and Quan Zhilong continued, "My sister just said that since it's a Western-style wedding, we can just hold it in the church and let Xiao Budian and a girl from his class be flower girls. Do you think that's okay?"
"It's up to you guys to decide." Jing Rong didn't seem to care. Quan Zhilong looked at her with some concern, "Wife, are you unhappy today?"
Jing Rong raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
"I really didn't expect that there would be so many gossipy people among the people getting married today. It's really too much. It would be fine if they just gossiped among themselves, but they also took photos and uploaded them to the Internet, so that everyone knew about it..." Before Jing Rong could express his opinion, Quan Zhilong decided to confess and explain carefully, without any self-righteousness as he had in the morning. At that time, due to Jing Rong's inaction, he was now carrying the blame for "forcing marriage by jumping off a building", and he felt a little more confident. But now, Captain Quan could only sigh silently in his heart. The saying "fortunes change" definitely had nothing to do with him - it must be said that Quan Zhilong himself has realized it and has no intention of even resisting. No wonder his friends have no doubt that he is already henpecked.
Jing Rong hadn't expected Quan Zhilong to be so self-aware. Since someone had come to her doorstep to be trampled upon, she certainly didn't need to be polite. Jing Rong snorted coldly, and the sound reached Quan Zhilong's ears clearly, making his heart jump. Jing Rong opened his mouth and was about to ask him to cede land and pay compensation when there was a knock on the door. Quan's mother said loudly at the door: "Zhilong, did you have to wait so long to call Jingrong to eat? The food is almost cold."
Quan Zhilong was surprised and happy, and immediately responded and pulled Jingrong up: "Mom is coming up to call, let's go down quickly."
Jingrong glanced at him but didn't object. Quan Zhilong continued to pull her, picked up the small schoolbag on the sofa with his left hand, and went downstairs. Quan Zhilong put the schoolbag in the cupboard at the foot of the stairs. Several people sitting on the sofa in the living room also stood up and went to the dining room. They took their seats one after another. The food was already on the table, but they hadn't started eating yet. Quan's mother was joking with Quan Dami: "Zhilong is really something. He called Jingrong down to eat and made it seem like he was cooking..." As she said that, she smiled at Quan Zhilong, "I said, did you go to America to call Jingrong?"
Quan Dami also said in a teasing tone: "Mom, they are newlyweds, it's normal for them to be a little clingy."
When the Chinese New Year comes, time flies like water. From New Year's Eve to Lantern Festival, it passes in the blink of an eye. The Quan family had a fulfilling and busy Spring Festival. They were mainly preparing for the wedding. The wedding was scheduled for the Lantern Festival. The weather was pretty good. Jing Rong got married in the villa left to her by President Xue. Although she had never lived in the villa, she still had someone at home to clean it, so it was no problem for Jing Rong to go back and live there before the wedding.
Jing Rong has no father, mother or elders in this world. The banquet is arranged by Zhang Jingran and his son. Zhang Jingran's father has been friends with President Xue for decades and he had already informed Jing Rong that he would handle these matters. When Zhang Zhiyao, Cui Yingya, Jin Lina and others moved into the Xue family villa the day before Jing Rong's wedding, they also packed their things and went to accompany her. After all, they have been friends for more than ten or twenty years and are fully qualified to be her family members.
With this calculation, Jing Rong didn't even have to work on the wedding day herself. Everything was taken care of, which was naturally what she wanted. However, there was still a small problem at the end. The three groomsmen had already been confirmed. Zhang Zhiyao and the other two were not married or engaged, making them the best candidates for bridesmaids. The relevant personnel were too busy and didn't have time to notify Jing Rong in advance. They might also think that it was natural for these three to be bridesmaids, so they didn't pay too much attention to it. When they were doing Jing Rong's makeup that morning, they also sent the bridesmaid dresses according to each person's size to give them more time to put on makeup. Cui Yingya and Jin Lina didn't have any problems. It was their first time to be bridesmaids, so they were still very interested. However, Zhang Zhiyao was not very satisfied. He came to Jing Rong's room with the dress and said, "Jing Rong, I didn't say I was a bridesmaid."
Jing Rong was having her eyes closed while the makeup artist drew eyeliner on her. She asked, "Didn't they tell you in advance?"
The assistant sent by the wedding company immediately looked guilty: "Sorry, maybe I didn't notify them at the time."
"What should we do then?"
Jing Rong opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Zhiyao: "Don't you want to be a bridesmaid?"
"They say being a bridesmaid makes it harder to get married."
The makeup artist couldn't help but laugh and said, "Being a bridesmaid and sharing in the bride's joy will bring good things to you quickly. Besides, with your conditions, Miss Zhang, there's no way you can't get married."
Zhang Zhiyao glanced at her without saying anything. The makeup artist continued to put on Jing Rong's makeup. Seeing Zhang Zhiyao's firm attitude, Jing Rong nodded and said, "No problem. Let Secretary Lin come and be the bridesmaid. You can take over her job for today."
"That's fine with me." Zhang Zhiyao paused before saying, "Can't we remove one pair of groomsmen and bridesmaids? Three pairs doesn't sound good."
"When did you still care about this?" Jing Rong glanced at her and smiled. "The personnel have already been decided. How can we withdraw them just like that?"
Zhang Zhiyao thought that the best man was chosen by the Quan family, and Jingrong would not interfere, so she nodded. As she left, Secretary Lin came over with the documents and greeted her. Jingrong pointed at Zhang Zhiyao and said, "Secretary Lin, you and Zhiyao will switch today. You will be the bridesmaid, and she will take over your job."
Secretary Lin was only surprised for a second, then immediately smiled and continued, "No wonder my left eye has been twitching since I got up. It turns out there's something good waiting for me. But Miss Zhang, my work today is rather busy. Are you sure..."
Before Secretary Lin could finish, Zhang Zhiyao interrupted her: "It's okay, this is a bridesmaid dress. I think it suits your figure. Take it and put it on. I'll come back to hand it over to you after I'm done styling it."
Seeing Zhang Zhiyao so straightforward, Secretary Lin was no longer worried. He picked up his dress and went to the bathroom next door to change into it.
I thought the bridesmaid issue was resolved, but when the time came for the groom to pick me up, apart from Jin Lina and Cui Yingya who stayed in the room with Jingrong, the other bridesmaid hadn't shown up. Jingrong asked the assistant next to her, but before the assistant could answer, Cui Yingya said, "I think Zhiyao wants to see her for something. I saw Secretary Lin coming over here in the corridor, but Zhiyao stopped her."
Jin Lina stood up, brushed her charming long hair, and said, "I'll go take a look."
Cui Yingya urged: "Tell her to come quickly, the time is almost up."
Ten minutes after Jin Lina went out, she brought people over. However, the person wearing the bridesmaid dress was Zhang Zhiyao instead of Secretary Lin. Several people looked at her in surprise, but before they could ask, the team to pick up the bride had arrived. Surrounded by flowers, Jing Rong appeared in the yard. The golden morning sun shone on her white gauze skirt, making her look like a dream. In the gorgeous dress, Jing Rong's original appearance of 70% suddenly became 100%, with a stunning beauty.
Jung Yunho stood next to G-Dragon as best man. A flash of unconcealable amazement flashed across his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, smiling as he watched G-Dragon usher them into the wedding car. It's said that a wedding day is the most beautiful moment for a woman, and the same is true for the groom. Now that they're together, no one will think about whether they're a good match or not. They must be a good match, and that's all they can be.
When a rich man gets married, the wedding car procession must be very luxurious. In Seoul, a city that is used to seeing luxury cars and sports cars, some people also looked at it with awe. Fortunately, the Xue family villa was quiet, and such a big commotion was not known to the outside world - because Jing Rong's wedding would definitely be attended by people from the business world, and considering the guests' thoughts, Jing Rong and his family did not plan to let reporters come, so they only announced the wedding news, but did not disclose the specific date, and the outside world did not know that they were holding the wedding today.
When the motorcade arrived at the church, it was already filled with friends and family waiting to watch the ceremony. The usually quiet and secluded church was now transformed into a sea of lilies. The white flowers and green leaves complemented each other, creating a pleasant fragrance that was both pleasing to the eye and relaxing. The wedding program had been slightly adjusted. The ceremony would be held in the church in the morning, while the banquet would be held at Jinxiu Nianhua in the afternoon and evening. While entertaining guests at the hotel, Jing Rong could rest all the time. After all, she was still several months pregnant. Although her belly was completely invisible, she still got tired easily. Moreover, it was not a good idea to wear makeup while pregnant, even with specially made makeup. So the ceremony was completed first. After that, Jing Rong removed her makeup and changed into her beautiful but not very convenient wedding dress, which was much more convenient.
In such an environment, the wedding also became romantic. Considering that Jingrong had no father, G-Dragon simply walked her down the red carpet arm in arm. Behind them were two exquisitely dressed flower girls, one holding a long wedding dress and the other holding a flower basket, which scattered rose petals all the way behind them. The red flowers and the flawless white dress were still breathtakingly beautiful.
At a wedding, the emotions of the couple may vary, some happy, some nervous, but the onlookers all share the same feeling: relief and blessings. Weddings held in a church have an extra, sacred atmosphere. Watching the kind-hearted pastor recite the vows before the newlyweds, and the couples saying "I do," some sentimentalists were moved to tears—literally, tears. Take the Quan family mother and daughter, and Secretary Lin. Their journey has been incredibly difficult. We only hope that from this day forward, they can continue to be as happy and joyful as they are today.
Jing Rong's emotions were complicated. She had never considered the word "marriage" in her life plan. Moreover, this world and this person next to her were completely unexpected. She had never expected to encounter such an incredible thing, and then she met him. After going through so much, they ended up together. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be together for the rest of their lives. Jing Rong had thought she would reject it. After all, she decided to get married only for the sake of her children. According to her usual style, she didn't need the constraints of marriage. But when the pastor read the vows, Jing Rong was not rejected. Instead, she was slightly moved. Especially the smiling eyes beside her looked at her. The gaze was not intense, but she could sense the seriousness in them. At this moment, Jing Rong felt that she seemed to be immersed in the role. When she read the promise, there was a seriousness that she had not expected.
The guests watching the ceremony burst into warm applause at this moment, representing their most sincere blessings. As the best man, Taiyang sat in the first row. He looked at the newlyweds in front of him, suppressed his inappropriate worries, and clapped his hands sincerely.
After the ceremony, everyone left the church and went to the Jinxiu Nianhua Hotel. There was no need for Jingrong and the others to worry about the atmosphere here. The hosts hired by the wedding company were all the most experienced, and all the guests from Quan Zhilong's side were artists who were good at singing and dancing and could adjust the atmosphere. The temporary stage performance was comparable to a concert, and the program was wonderful. Quan Zhilong and Jingrong shuttled between the guests to toast. Of course, she was definitely not the one who actually drank. Jingrong didn't even touch the drink, but brought a glass of water "with tea instead of wine". When she toasted to President Yang, President Yang smiled and joked: "President Xue, today is such a good day, it's impossible not to drink, right?"
Quan Zhilong wanted to help Jingrong block it, but Jingrong smiled and said, "Logically speaking, I should have offered three drinks to President Yang, but I'm pregnant now, and the doctor told me not to drink any alcohol. I have to ask for your forgiveness. I'll definitely drink a few drinks myself to apologize to you when I get a chance."
Actually, it didn't matter what Jing Rong said politely. Her word "pregnant" shocked everyone at President Yang's table. Only then did everyone realize that it was no wonder they were in such a hurry to get married. It turned out that she was already pregnant! Quan Zhilong immediately raised his head and chest. The glances from all directions made him secretly happy. Those who had watched the show at the beginning must be envious and jealous now. Not only did he suddenly have a wife, but the child was born soon. He was the winner in life in every minute!
The groom was so cocky that he didn't notice the complicated look in President Yang's eyes. Of course, he could imagine that after being shocked, President Yang quickly recovered and glanced at Jing Rong's still slender figure without leaving any trace. He smiled and said, "President Xue, please don't make fun of me. I will take it seriously."
"President Yang is becoming more and more humorous, but who would joke about something like this? What do you think?"
President Yang's eyes once again swept over Jing Rong's belly, and Quan Zhilong immediately put his arm around Jing Rong's shoulders to prove her: "President, she is pregnant, but she is not showing it yet."
President Yang's eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "So today is a double celebration? Congratulations."
Quan Zhilong smiled implicitly, and President Yang asked again: "How many months old is it?"
"The due date is at the end of June."
President Yang looked at Jing Rong and said, "Then I wish President Xue a happy and healthy baby soon."
"I'll ask for President Yang's blessing when the time comes." Jing Rong replied with a smile.
It took two hours to finish toasting at each table. After all, it was impossible to just drink one glass and leave. Many business people came, so Jing Rong had to go over and say a few words in person. She stayed at every table and toasted until she was exhausted. She had just removed her makeup before, and her wedding dress was very uncomfortable. She immediately asked her assistant to help her go to the lounge and change into a simple and comfortable dress. After changing into the dress, Jing Rong did not go out immediately, but closed her eyes and rested on the sofa in the lounge.
Even without the leading lady, the banquet hall was still bustling with activity. G-Dragon was forced to drink a lot of wine. The three groomsmen took turns blocking the wine for him but it was of no avail. After dealing with a group of people, G-Dragon slumped on the table without any image. Seungri put his arm around his shoulder and said, "G-Dragon, if I had known earlier, I would have asked Top to be the best man. Otherwise, we wouldn't be the ones being drunk now!"
"Where's the top?"
Shengli looked around and started to grind his teeth: "He's with a beautiful woman!"
"Alas, I was not careful in choosing friends!" G-Dragon obviously saw his elder brother's cheerful face, so he sighed and said that he shouldn't be soft-hearted towards this foodie!
Jung Yunho was so amused by the brothers that he patted G-Dragon and said, "Hurry up and hide over to Jingrong before the next wave of toasts arrive."
Sun leaned on the table dizzy and asked, "Where is Jingrong?"
Zhang Zhiyao next to him replied, "She's in the lounge next door."
The sun then looked around and smiled: "She really knows how to be lazy."
G-Dragon listened to Jung Yunho's advice and actually wanted to leave, but he wasn't quick enough and was blocked at the door. A new round of battle began. Taeyang was also drunk, so he was not allowed to go in. Seungri and Jung Yunho went to help G-Dragon block the wine. Secretary Lin saw Taeyang's red cheeks when he passed by and asked, "Taeyang, do you want to take a break?"
Taiyang naturally nodded. Secretary Lin paused slightly, but still stepped forward, intending to help him walk to the small room where Jingrong was resting. Although Taiyang was the best man, Secretary Lin knew that he had a very good relationship with her company's president, so there was nothing to be shy about.
Taiyang pulled his hand away: "Thank you, I can walk by myself, please just show me the way."
"Okay." Secretary Lin withdrew his hand obediently, walked to the door and pointed the way to Taiyang, who then walked over slowly.
Jing Rong had just rested enough and just stood up to go to the hall when there was a knock on the door. The assistant immediately went forward to open the door. Taiyang leaned against the door and said, "If they hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were slacking off here."
Jing Rong glanced at him and asked, "Have you drunk too much?"
"I blocked a few bottles of wine for Zhilong." Taiyang said as he walked inside. Jingrong moved to the single sofa next to him and sat down, letting Taiyang lean on the sofa to rest. Taiyang fell down and supported his head for a while. Jingrong asked again: "Are they okay?"
"Who are you asking?"
"Giyong, Seungri, and Yunho."
Taiyang smiled and said, "You know how to care about him. Not bad."
Jing Rong frowned slightly, thinking that Taiyang was probably really drunk. Thinking of this, he raised his head and said to the assistant next to him: "Please help me go to the hall to see how the groom is doing now, okay?"
The assistant took a look and knew that they probably had something to say, so he nodded and closed the door when he left. Jingrong looked at Taiyang again and happened to meet his slightly drunk eyes. Taiyang looked directly into Jingrong's eyes: "Honestly, how do you feel about Zhilong?"
"What do you think?" Jing Rong asked calmly.
Taiyang shook his head. "At first I thought you two were in love, but now I'm not so sure."
"But no matter what, I'm married to him, and it's another kind of emotion that will maintain our relationship in the future, right?" Jing Rong did not deny Taeyang's words. In fact, the last time Big Bang went to Hong Kong to attend the MAMA Awards Ceremony, she knew that he had guessed it from the text message Taeyang sent her that night, and he had made the decision long ago, so it made no difference whether he denied it or not. Taeyang would remind her that she had dealt with G-Dragon's suspicion that time, and it was impossible for her to suddenly run to G-Dragon and tell him the "truth" now.
Taiyang seemed to be fooled by Jingrong's words. He no longer had any questions and just put his hands in front of his forehead to cover his eyes. Jingrong covered him with the blanket beside him and said softly, "You take a rest. I'll go out and take a look."
Taiyang hummed, Jingrong opened the door and went out, closing it again. Silence returned to the lounge, so quiet that Taiyang could even hear his own heavy breathing. Seeing such a beautiful scene in the church made him mistakenly think that he had thought too much before. He originally wanted to hear Jingrong's affirmative voice with his own ears, but he didn't expect such a result. In front of him, she didn't even hide anything, and her frankness shocked him... After a while, Taiyang smiled bitterly. After all, they were brothers who grew up together. How could he feel at ease if he kept such a big thing from him and let him get deeper and deeper into it?
However, Jing Rong's judgment was not wrong, he really couldn't say it...
Jing Rong hadn't reached the lobby yet when she ran into Secretary Lin in the corridor. Secretary Lin looked at her in surprise and said, "President, aren't you going to take a break?"
"No, I heard they were given a lot of alcohol?"
Secretary Lin smiled knowingly, "Yes, GDXi was drunk so much that he's stumbling a bit. You can go over and block it for him." As he spoke, he was about to take Jingrong's hand and lead her in. Jingrong waved his hand, "No hurry. Let me first ask you what happened this morning with Zhiyao?"
Secretary Lin shook his head. "I don't know either. After changing, I handed over all my work for the day to Miss Zhang. She didn't show any signs of wanting to change back, so I left the guest list and seating arrangement with her. Not long after, Miss Zhang asked me to change back with her."
"Don't you know what made her change her mind?" Jing Rong frowned slightly. As the eldest daughter, Zhang Zhiyao was proud and domineering, and was also very delicate. If it was any other situation, she would have paid temporary attention. But Zhang Zhiyao, who had mysophobia and never wore the same clothes as others, was actually willing to wear the bridesmaid dress that Secretary Lin had just changed out of. It really puzzled her.
"I'm sorry, I don't know either."
"Forget it, I'll go ask her myself. Let's go in first." After Jing Rong finished speaking, he stepped towards the hall. Secretary Lin followed closely behind him. They soon arrived at the hall, where there was a lot of noise and chatter. Jing Rong first glanced at G-Dragon, who was still chatting and laughing with others, but his eyes were a little blurred. Jing Rong curled his lips, and when he looked away, he saw Cui Yingya and Zhang Zhiyao chatting with Mrs. Zheng, and Jin Lina had run to Top's side, apparently discussing food from all over the world. Top's eyes were full of smiles of finding a soulmate.
Jing Rong seemed to know something and instructed Secretary Lin behind him, "Go and apologize to Madam Zheng for me. Tell her that I'm busy right now and that I'll definitely spend some time with her when I find time."
Secretary Lin nodded: "Okay, President."
Jing Rong smiled and walked towards Quan Zhilong. When Quan Zhilong saw her, he felt like he had seen a savior. He walked over in two or three steps, put his arm around her waist, and put most of his body weight on her. Jing Rong ignored him and just smiled at the person opposite: "President Che..."
President Che also smiled and greeted Jing Rong. The two chatted for less than a minute, and then President Che left with a glass of wine in his hand, smiling and no longer pouring wine. This made several people feel relieved. Sheng Li looked at Jing Rong with great admiration: "Sister-in-law, how could you send them away so easily? I almost collapsed from drinking..."
Jing Rong smiled: "It's really hard to resist too much enthusiasm." Upon hearing this, Quan Zhilong buried his head in Jing Rong's neck and laughed. He thought she would mercilessly call him "stupid", it seems that his wife is still very protective in front of others.
Seeing that Quan Zhilong was now determined to rely on her, Jingrong didn't say anything, but pointed the direction to the two groomsmen who had worked so hard beside him: "Seungri, your brother and the others are all over there, you should rest for a while. Yunhao, I saw that my aunt seemed a little bored, can you go over and keep her company? By the way, please apologize for me, I was too busy today and didn't have time to take care of her."
Jung Yunho glanced at the crowd and found that his mother was not lonely at all. There were two beautiful girls beside her, making her very happy. So he looked at Jingrong with a dim gaze. Jingrong showed a surprised look: "When did Zhiyao and the others go over? I didn't see them just now... But at most they said hello and left. Yunho, you should go over and keep your aunt company."
Jung Yunho thought that Jingrong was being cautious with his mother because he felt guilty about his relationship with him. He didn't doubt it and nodded, "Okay, I'll go over then."
Jing Rong nodded with a smile: "Thank you for the trouble."
After Jung Yunho left, Quan Zhilong raised his head from Jingrong's shoulder and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone: "He still listens to you so much!"
Jing Rong rolled her eyes at him, and Quan Zhilong immediately put away the sly look on his face and asked her with a smile: "If your best friend and the senior get together, how much red envelope should we ask for as a matchmaker?"
"Why are you so anxious when the matter hasn't even been settled yet?"
"How can I not be anxious if he keeps staring at you even though he's not looking for a partner?" Quan Zhilong raised his voice, sounding quite confident. Jingrong was already used to his jealousy and was about to leave. Quan Zhilong followed without a care in the world.
Quan Zhilong didn't slack off for long, just taking a moment to relax while Jingrong asked the kitchen to make a few servings of hangover soup for everyone. This was the advantage of holding a wedding banquet at your own hotel; you could always ask for anything. After drinking the hangover soup and cooking for a few more minutes, the four of them were refreshed and ready for the next battle.
Jing Rong did not follow. She finally fulfilled her promise and chatted with Madam Zheng for a while. Then, under the other party's warm and friendly gaze, the relationship became much closer. Then she led Zhang Jingran's mother, Madam Zhang, over here, "Aunt Zheng, I'm sorry to be mismatched again. Aunt Zhang is the wife of my father's good friend and also a close elder. Let Aunt Zhang sit with you for a while." Jing Rong smiled and pulled Madam Zhang to sit down, "By the way, Aunt Zhang is also Zhiyao's aunt."
Madam Zheng's eyes lit up, and before she could say anything, the ever-sophisticated Madam Zhang patted Jingrong's hand and said with a smile, "Alright, I know you have a lot on your plate. Go get busy. I'll take care of Madam Zheng for you." Then she turned back to look at Madam Zheng and said, "I just saw Madam Zheng chatting with our Zhiyao. Did that child bother you?"
The topic was thus opened. Jing Rong retired after completing his mission, and by the way, he also won the favor of the two ladies. In fact, although Jing Rong was busy, she also had time to take a break. Seeing Zhang Zhiyao sitting alone in the corner, she walked over and asked, "Why are you sitting here?"
Looking up and seeing Jing Rong, Zhang Zhiyao was annoyed: "I just took a break and you come over to arrest me?"
"Why should I? You can't help me at all, and going there will only cause more trouble."
"Xue Jingrong, don't think I won't beat you up just because you're getting married today." Zhang Zhiyao made a fist. "If you think I'm useless, why do you keep me running around like this?"
"Are you busy?" Jing Rong stared at Zhang Zhiyao with his sharp eyes. "It was Secretary Lin who was busy all day long, and you were just a decorative figure for a while. No wonder you asked Secretary Lin to switch your assignment just before we were about to leave!"
"That's not why I'm here."
"Then why?" Jing Rong asked with a smile.
Zhang Zhiyao saw her clear eyes and fell silent again. Jing Rong didn't care and pulled Zhang Zhiyao to chat aimlessly, "They drank a lot of wine today. The best man is even harder than the groom."
"Of course not." Zhang Zhiyao responded incoherently.
Jing Rong glanced at her and smiled again: "I should have found you a best man who can drink well, so you wouldn't have been drunk like this. I think Chen Changminxi is better than Yunhao."
"Come on, Jung Yunho has been good enough to you. Even if he can't walk into the marriage hall with you, he will still be by your side. How can an ordinary man do this..." Zhang Zhiyao answered subconsciously at first, and her voice gradually became smaller. When she looked up, she saw Jingrong looking at her with a smile on his face. Zhang Zhiyao paused. Avoidance has never been her style, although she has been quite strange recently. Thinking of the woman who was like the wind in the past - or maybe she was a crazy woman, Zhang Zhiyao did not avoid Jingrong's gaze, and said frankly, "Okay, I admit that I temporarily switched tasks with Secretary Lin because I saw that Jung Yunho was the best man in the guest list." As she spoke, she muttered softly, "Who knew that he was so broad-minded and could be your best man without any grudges."
Jing Rong smiled: "That was agreed upon a long time ago, and now he has let it go."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhiyao couldn't help but find Zheng Yunhao's figure in the crowd. He subconsciously turned around, and their eyes met. Zhang Zhiyao's eyes flashed, and he looked away as if nothing had happened. "I don't think so. Even if he has let it go, I'm afraid he won't want to enter another relationship so soon." As he said this, Zhang Zhiyao looked at Jingrong with a burning gaze. "Although I think I'm no worse than you, I'm afraid I will never be able to compare with you in front of him. In his heart, my label is just your friend, and it will probably be difficult to change. He can get married and have children, so it's unlikely that his partner will consider me."
Zhang Zhiyao is different from Xue Jingrong. Since she became an adult, she has learned to play along with the situation. Since then, she has had many boyfriends, both sincere and casual acquaintances. She has experienced so much that she can see through things naturally. This is why she did not admit it when Jingrong mentioned it last time, because she really did not think that she would have such an intersection with Jung Yunho.
"But when it comes to love, who can say for sure? At first, I never thought I could really be with G-Dragon, but now we're married, aren't we?" Jing Rong smiled, "Zhiyao, I still say that you're not the kind of person who cares about these things. How can you be willing to give it a try if you don't give it a try?"
"Indeed, our friendship for so many years has not been in vain. You still understand me." Zhang Zhiyao also smiled, his raised eyebrows showing a bit of confidence and indifference. "The more difficult it is, the more I want to try. Not to mention that I am determined to win him over, it is impossible that I can't even compare to a married woman, right?" As he spoke, he glanced at Jing Rong meaningfully, and his eyes stayed on her belly suspiciously for a few seconds. Jing Rong subconsciously touched her belly. The book said that this was a subconscious action of many mothers, and it was not a defense against anything.
Jing Rong was helpless: "Even so, you don't need to belittle me to improve yourself, right?"
"Aren't rivals in love supposed to step on each other? Do you still expect you and I to love each other?" Zhang Zhiyao smiled.
"Don't worry, if you want Quan Zhilong, I will give him to you with both hands. There is really no need to step on me."
Zhang Zhiyao's eyes flickered. "Keep it to yourself. He doesn't even care about the strategy. He doesn't even see anyone else. I don't need to torture myself."
The bride and bridesmaid hid in the corner and whispered to each other, but were soon pulled out by their other friends. Jingrong accompanied G-Dragon for the last round of greetings.
The lively atmosphere lasted until ten minutes before the end of the event. The wedding host came on stage and told everyone mysteriously that a big gift was prepared for the newlyweds. He did not say who prepared the gift. Then the screen behind the host lit up, and the surrounding lights dimmed. Only photos could be seen. There were only two people in the photos from beginning to end, and they were the protagonists of today's wedding. At first, there was a photo on each side of the screen. They were two little kids, then they became little boys and little girls, and then one was gorgeous and the other was calm. These two photos were the most familiar to everyone. Then the photo became one, suggesting that the two people began to intersect from then on. More photos appeared like raindrops, from small to large, and as soon as one disappeared, the next one appeared. It was a feast for the eyes. When the photos were played, there was simple music accompanying the sound of the piano, "ding dong ding dong". It was a song that no one had heard of. It might be a bit simple when played at other times, but with these photos, there are only four words to describe it - complement each other! Finally, all the photos merged into a single sentence: "Just keep going," signed "Big Bang." The word "End" appeared on the screen, and then the lights came back on. The multimedia system was turned off, and thunderous applause echoed in the hall. Even President Yang pulled a few people aside and asked, "Who wrote that song?"
A shrewd person like President Yang, when hearing unfamiliar music, his first reaction is originality. After all, his powerful team Big Bang is well-known for its songwriting skills. Everyone can write their own songs, and each of them is very powerful. G-Dragon is a fighter among them.
Seungri said, "It was made by Jiyong himself, but it's still a work in progress. The one who played the piano is Youngbae."
"Not bad, not bad," President Yang nodded with a smile. While it was still a work-in-progress, it essentially established the song's quality. It wasn't particularly outstanding, but its artistic conception was strong. If paired with a beautiful music video, it might become a hit. President Yang was already considering who to sing it. His first thought was CL. She might release a solo album next year. While this song wasn't typical of her, she definitely wanted to diversify her style, and it would be a good way to broaden her horizons. But then President Yang thought about it and decided Lee Hi might be a better fit. Her ethereal voice would be the perfect way to capture the song's artistic conception. Several names flashed through President Yang's mind, but G-Dragon or any of Big Bang's members weren't on his mind. Regardless of who the song was written for or its meaning, if the style didn't fit with Big Bang, President Yang would rather not release it than have them sing it, just like he did with "Lies."
After all, the wedding ended in a lively atmosphere. Even though G-Dragon drank a hangover soup in the middle and was fully recovered, he died again because Jingrong was pregnant and did not book a honeymoon suite at the hotel. After the wedding, the two went home. Taeyang, as the best man, did a very good job. The men in the Kwon family drank a little too much, and even Quan's brother-in-law could not escape the bad luck. The other two could at least walk by themselves. G-Dragon could not rely on Jingrong to get up, so Taeyang had no choice but to take on the responsibility of carrying the groom home.
Taeyang carried Quan Zhilong all the way to the bedroom. As soon as his hand loosened, Quan Zhilong fell on the bed. Jingrong was waiting for Aunt Wang's sobering tea downstairs. Taeyang skillfully got some water and wiped his face and hands. Because the door was not closed, he could hear the footsteps on the stairs clearly. Taeyang looked at Quan Zhilong with complicated eyes, and finally sighed deeply. Jingrong pushed the door open and walked in. "Taeyang, Aunt Wang is making a midnight snack. Why don't you go downstairs and eat something? It seems that you didn't eat anything tonight."
"Yeah." Taiyang nodded and looked at the steaming bowl in Jingrong's hand. "Do you want my help?"
"No need." Jing Rong put the bowl on the cabinet beside the bed, then sat on the bed and called Quan Zhilong, "Zhilong, get up and drink the hangover soup..."
Quan Zhilong opened his eyes slightly, but just pulled Jingrong into his chest, which was full of alcohol. Jingrong pinched his nose and patted him, "It smells so bad. Drink the hangover soup and take a bath quickly."
"Hmm..." Quan Zhilong snorted and released his hand around Jingrong's waist, "Feed me——"
"Then sit up first!"
Quan Zhilong pouted and sat up a little obediently, still with his eyes closed, leaning against the headboard in a half-asleep state. Jingrong handed him a spoon and said, "Open your mouth." He opened his mouth obediently, but the food in his mouth was not as delicious as he had imagined. Quan Zhilong frowned and shouted in a long voice like a cat, "Wife, it's not delicious..."
"It's not for you to taste anyway." Jing Rong snorted, but continued to gently pass the spoon to his mouth, "Open your mouth."
G-Dragon reluctantly opened his mouth, but his wife was still so cruel and fed him such a disgusting thing! G-Dragon kept shouting "hangover soup" and refused to swallow it, so his face was puffed up like a bun: "Wife, this is really disgusting..."
"Okay, be good. If you want to eat a few more mouthfuls, you can't eat anymore." Jing Rong softened his voice. Quan Zhilong was not yet drunk and unconscious, so he was naturally unable to resist. So he frowned pitifully and kept talking. What Jing Rong called "a few mouthfuls" was actually feeding him a whole bowl of hangover soup! Quan Zhilong, who had regained some consciousness, opened his eyes and looked at the empty bowl. He stared at Jing Rong with resentment, hugged her and let her lie on him. Quan Zhilong slapped his hand away: "I'll go get you some water. Take a bath and rest quickly."
"No, I'm so tired."
"You reek of alcohol. You should take a shower even if you're tired, unless you want to sleep in the living room."
Quan Zhilong immediately changed his tone: "Wife, please stay with me!"
"Stop it, just take a shower yourself. I'll go downstairs to see the sun later. He brought you back specially." Jing Rong got up from Quan Zhilong without saying anything and went into the bathroom to run the water. When she came out, Quan Zhilong was still leaning on the bed. She got him pajamas and Huanxi underwear, then pulled the pitiful person up from the bed without any mercy. "I'll give you ten minutes. If I come up and you haven't finished your shower, you can try again."
After saying that, Jing Rong walked out of the bedroom without looking back. Quan Zhilong looked at her figure disappearing from his sight with resentment, held his head and groaned, then walked into the bathroom with unsteady steps.
Taeyang was very perceptive. When he saw Captain Quan acting so coquettishly towards Jingrong, he immediately left their bedroom and left the time alone with the newlyweds. It must be said that seeing Jingrong "taking care" of Quan Zhilong so well, Taeyang felt a little relieved. He also came to terms with the things he had been worried about before. As the saying goes, one knows the warmth and coldness of the water after drinking it. Or maybe no matter what Jingrong felt in her heart, as long as she treated Zhilong the same way as before, Zhilong would be happy with it. In this case, his honesty was really not a good thing.
Jing Rong went downstairs with the bowl in her hand. She only saw Aunt Wang packing up her things, but no sign of the sun. She asked, "Aunt Wang, where is the sun?"
"Mr. Dong just drank half a bowl of porridge and left. Let me tell you something."
"Why didn't you let him stay overnight?"
"I did, but Mr. Dong said he had something to take care of and would stay here next time."
Jing Rong nodded, put the bowl on the table, and asked, "Have Mom and Dad rested?"
"Yes."
"Then Aunt Wang, you should also go to bed early."
"Okay." Aunt Wang, who was busy working, looked up and responded. Jing Rong smiled and then went upstairs.
In fact, the banquet ended not too late. Except for the groom and five groomsmen who were forced to drink, everyone else was fine. The wedding of G-Dragon and Jing Rong was not up to the standards of the wedding in the last century, but every link and every design was very attentive. Moreover, he was the first one to get married among his group of friends. Everyone was still curious about it, and they learned that Jing Rong was pregnant. So many friends, as if they had made an appointment, uploaded the photos taken at the wedding when they got home. The picture of Jing Rong and G-Dragon in front of the pastor was naturally among them. It was obvious who was the protagonist and who was the focus. So with the promotion of the friends, within an hour, the news of G-Dragon and Jing Rong's wedding spread everywhere.
Because the wedding invitation said the wedding would be held on the Lantern Festival, many people did not notice the date in the Gregorian calendar, but many netizens and VIPs noticed it. The older elders celebrated the Lantern Festival today, but they were also celebrating a romantic Valentine's Day - even if they didn't have a lover, they would still be romantic forever.
So, when everyone knew that Captain Quan was getting married on the perfect time for the double holidays of Lantern Festival and Valentine's Day, their first reaction was not the sadness and indignation of "Fuck, we weren't invited to the wedding, but they couldn't even tell us about it." Instead, after getting the marriage certificate on the day of "Love you forever" on 201314, Captain Quan actually got married on Valentine's Day. Is he going to continue the romance to the end!
Many losers expressed their admiration, and finally realized that the reason why they could not catch up with the beautiful, rich and beautiful/tall, rich and handsome men was not because the rich men were rich, but because they were not as romantic as them. The tomboys now say: "If a man confesses his love to you on that day and asks you to get a marriage certificate on Valentine's Day, just agree to it for the sake of gesture. This must be true love!" It can be seen that tomboys are not unromantic, but ordinary romance cannot move that invulnerable heart.
