Yan Nian drove very smoothly, and when the two arrived, Su Ping had just finished adjusting her dress.
"Even if you eat until you're stuffed these next few days, you have to maintain this figure. You lose two pounds every time you try it. Are you sent by God to torment me?"
Meng Wan has a special constitution; if things go even a little slower, her weight will drop rapidly. This is already the third time she's tried on a dress. They've been working late into the night to make the dress and have to adjust Meng Wan's size. Even with Su Ping's gentle temperament, the lack of sleep has made her a bit irritable.
Meng Wan knew that she had been so busy lately that she had no time to sleep, so she didn't dare to argue. She smiled awkwardly and promised to keep her weight stable.
"Alright, go try it on first." Su Ping took off the dress and placed it in Meng Wan's arms.
As soon as Meng Wan entered the dressing room, Yan Nian sat down on the sofa in front of it. He went in to try on a suit, and as before, it fit perfectly, so the process was much faster.
Su Ping glanced at him, but instead of sitting on the sofa, she sat on her high stool.
The staff pulled back the curtain, and Meng Wan appeared in front of the two.
Su Ping nodded in satisfaction, while Yan Nian sat up straight, his eyes brightening considerably.
In order not to overshadow the bride, bridesmaids' dresses are usually more understated and simple. Even so, Meng Wan's face already showed that being understated was impossible.
Even without makeup or jewelry, she can attract everyone's attention the moment she appears.
"This time it's fine, the size is just right." Meng Wan stepped down from the platform with Yan Nian's help and fiddled with herself in front of the mirror.
"Very beautiful." Yan Nian placed a kiss on Meng Wan's lips.
Meng Wan smiled, appearing to be in a good mood.
"That's enough! It's broad daylight, the world is going to the dogs, and there are people around." Su Ping rolled her eyes at the two of them without any politeness.
"If there's no problem, get out of here. Don't get in my way." Su Ping started to shoo people away, completely forgetting that Meng Wan had invested half of her money here.
"Aren't you coming with us?" Su Ping was also one of the bridesmaids.
"I'm worried about my insulin levels rising, so I'll drive there myself later."
Knowing that Su Ping was targeting the two of them, Meng Wan just looked at Yan Nian, raised an eyebrow, and had a mischievous look on her face, which made Yan Nian's heart soften and he couldn't help but want to hold her face and kiss her a few times.
That's what I thought in my heart, but I still restrained myself in action.
"Okay, then about the thing I asked you to do before..."
"It's being done, what's the rush?" Su Ping seemed a little impatient in response to Yan Nian's question.
"What are you two talking about?" Meng Wan looked at the two of them, but didn't think much of it.
"Please ask her to design a suit for me, I'll need it later."
Yan Nian's suits are mostly custom-made, and he had also had them custom-made at W·P before, so she didn't ask any further questions.
After saying goodbye to Su Ping, Yan Nian escorted Meng Wan to the Lan family's residence. The courtyard was decorated with various ribbons and balloons, and many Filipino maids were bustling about, each carrying something in their hands.
Yan Nian didn't go in. After dropping Meng Wan off, he asked for a farewell kiss and drove to the Ji family home, satisfied.
The housekeeper clearly recognized Meng Wan and immediately stepped forward to greet her before leading her into the villa.
Just like the courtyard, the people inside were also busy, making it dizzying to watch.
"Oh, Wanwan's here."
"Hello, Uncle Lan."
Lan Zhenxie was dressed in a dark red Tang suit, which made his complexion look much rosier. He looked radiant, with a broad smile, which somehow managed to create several wrinkles on his face.
"You've all worked hard these past few days. I'll give you a big red envelope later as a reward and to bring you good luck."
"Then I'll thank you in advance, Uncle." Meng Wan accepted without hesitation.
"Okay, come back later. Uncle is also looking forward to your and Yan Nian's wedding banquet." Lan Zhenxie patted Meng Wan on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at her.
"Okay," Meng Wan agreed, but didn't say anything more.
"Wanwan! Uncle." As the two were talking, they saw Cui Qingling coming downstairs.
"Hey! How's Xingxing's preparation upstairs?"
"She's saying she's hungry, so I came down to get her something to eat." Cui Qingling said with a smile in her eyes.
"You're about to get married, yet you're still acting so childish." Lan Zhenxie said, but his hand went straight to the plate on the table and took some pastries.
"Give her some to eat first to tide her over, I'll go check on the kitchen."
"good."
"You young people can chat first, I'll just check tomorrow's menu while I'm at it."
The two nodded and watched Lan Zhenxie leave before going upstairs hand in hand.
When did you arrive?
"An hour earlier than you."
"Did you give me the wedding gift?"
"She wore it all the way up and took hundreds of photos with me. She was very happy, but it was a lot of hard work for us to run around for her."
Cui Qingling complained, but she couldn't shake the smile on her face. Meng Wan smiled along with her; their good friend's happiness made them happy too.
Their good friend has found a good match. As long as she is happy, what does it matter if they are tired a little?
"Are you really going? I heard the transportation there is inconvenient and the living facilities are inadequate. Why are you making things difficult for yourself?"
"There just happens to be a spot available, and I'm quite interested. Maybe I can even find some good prospects."
"I think you've gone crazy from trying to expand your network." Cui Qingling poked Meng Wan's cheek helplessly.
Meng Wan didn't resist, and smiled at her, looking innocent and harmless.
As they spoke, the two pushed open Lan Xing's door.
"Wanwan! You're here!" Lanxing's eyes lit up when she saw the two of them, and she immediately lunged at the pastries in Cui Qingling's hands. Without thinking, she tore one open and threw it into her mouth.
"Thank goodness, I almost starved to death." Lan Xing sat in the chair, and the makeup artist behind her shook her head, trying to suppress her laughter but unable to.
"Is it really necessary? You'll be hungry for even longer tomorrow," Meng Wan teased, patting her shoulder.
"Do you know what my day was like? I started getting my hair and makeup done at 2 pm, tried on my dress, and then had to get up to do my makeup again after less than three hours of sleep. After they picked up the bride, I had to toast the guests and then go to the hotel to greet them..."
As Lan Xing spoke, she slumped into her chair, looking as if her soul had been emptied out.
"This wedding is definitely not something everyone can handle. It's all Ji Sheng's fault for insisting on having it; he just wants to torture me!"
Meng Wan and Cui Qingling exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and silently lit a candle for Ji Sheng.
Lan Xing was pampered and spoiled by the elders of the Lan and Ji families since childhood. Although she was not spoiled, she had never suffered any hardship. She was carefree and childlike, simple and straightforward, and did things entirely according to her own will.
She's always been averse to troublesome things, and weddings are inherently troublesome, plus she'd been hungry all day, so it's perfectly normal for her to be a little emotional.
However, Lan Xing was aware of the bigger picture and wouldn't say anything like not wanting to get married; at most, she would just complain a bit.
Knowing this, Meng Wan and the others all went along with her wishes and coaxed her.
