Chapter 778: The Wedding is Approaching
Starting that night, Lan Yan became very busy. He used to be able to leave work on time, but for several days in a row, he was nowhere to be seen.
His wedding date with You Niannian is getting closer and closer, and the two busy people don't even have time to choose their wedding attire.
Chu Yan's team is really professional. Through videos and other means, they finally settled on a few outfits, and now we're just waiting to try them on.
With five days left until New Year's Day, You Niannian finally got a vacation.
"Take good care of yourself these next few days, and while you're at it, go try on your wedding attire. You'll need to try on the attire you wear the night before the wedding, and on the wedding day you'll wear military uniforms. You'll also need to wear formal attire when you toast the guests, and you'll need to wear formal attire when visiting relatives after the wedding. There are so many rules in Beijing, but it's good that there are so many rules, because it means that they are taken seriously!" The old lady pulled people in and chatted with a smile.
Yu Niannian wasn't annoyed by this nagging at all; on the contrary, she felt very warm inside.
"I'll do whatever Grandma says! I have no objections!" For the wedding, she has grown her hair long in the last six months. Although it only reaches her shoulders, it's long enough to style.
The old lady shook her head: "You have to have opinions! Just say what's wrong. Five days is enough. You don't need to worry about anything else!"
Gu Yin didn't join their conversation. The house was heated, so she reached out and took the coat from You Niannian's hand, hung it up, and sat down to listen to their chat.
On a cold winter day, Gu Yin lazily nestled on the sofa, her waterfall-like black hair cascading down her shoulders, making her small face appear even more delicate.
You Niannian reached out and gently pinched her little face, smiling as she said, "How did our Ayin grow up? Just sitting here, she looks like a little fairy, so incredibly beautiful. Luckily she's ours, otherwise I would have wanted to steal her home and raise her as my little sister!"
Gu Yin knew she was good-looking, and she didn't mind being praised by strangers, but sincere compliments from her family made her a little embarrassed.
Gu Yin's body went limp, and she half-reclined on the sofa, saying a little shyly, "Sister Niannian is beautiful too! Especially beautiful! And handsome! So charming!"
You Nian laughed lightly: "That's right, all the ladies in our family are beautiful! By the way, would you like to be my bridesmaid? Want to have some fun?"
Her groomsmen for the six-month Blue Flame event were all teammates from the team. Considering that Gu Yin was at an age where she loved to play, You Niannian asked with a smile.
Gu Yin quickly shook her head: "No, I'll just be a simple cook that day. Being a bridesmaid is too tiring. Let the older sisters do it! My little body can't handle it!"
She was quite interested in this, but she was more afraid of trouble.
You Niannian thought about it and agreed. There would be a lot of people and they would have to drink, so she nodded and said, "There will be a lot of people coming and going that day, it will be tough."
Chu Yan heard this as he came in. He hung up his coat, sat down next to Gu Yin, and gently lifted her hair that was hanging on the ground: "Then I won't be a groomsman. Let Ji Yang go. There will be a lot of people coming that day, and maybe he can get a project."
Gu Yin: "...Most of the people who went that day were people from within the system, working on some kind of project."
Chu Yan raised her eyebrows: "There are plenty of options. It's settled then. You're not going to be a bridesmaid, so what would I do? I only agreed because you're there."
Yu Niannian rolled her eyes helplessly: "Alright, alright, we're still here! Grandma's still here!"
Grandma Gu was quite pleased to see this: "It's alright! Just pretend I don't exist! These days are so much better. Back when your grandfather and I were talking, I didn't even dare to look at you for too long! You're doing so well now! Just looking at you makes me happy!"
Gu Yin patted Chu Yan's wrist: "Then you should tell Ji Yang not to delay your brother's wedding."
Chu Yan nodded: "No, I happen to be free tomorrow. Sister Niannian, would you like to try on the dress tomorrow? Most people usually need to try it on three or four times before they are sure. You don't have much time, so you can only try it on once. Once it's confirmed, if anything doesn't fit, it needs to be altered immediately."
You Niannian nodded: "I'm fine with it, then I'll have to trouble you tomorrow! Just make a custom-made suit for Lan Yan based on the one we have at home, since his weight hasn't changed at all."
She's too busy and there's nothing she can do. Lan Yan has gone abroad to pursue her, so she can't know anything more. This information was only given to her by her superiors as a special exception because they're getting married.
The next morning, Chu Yan arrived at the Gu family home. After having breakfast together, they set off for the studio.
In the car, Gu Yin looked at Chu Yan: "The accessories and jewelry are provided by Grandma's studio. They've all been arranged. All I need to do is try on the dress."
Chu Yan handed the booklet to You Niannian: "Take a look, there are models of the jewelry over there, but the real ones are still in the safe in Grandma's studio. We'll wear them on our wedding day."
You Niannian flipped through the booklet, looking at the exquisite clothes and jewelry. Even though she didn't know much about these things, she knew they weren't cheap. Moreover, all the dresses and jewelry were given by her family and friends, and she and Lan Yan didn't have to pay a penny. She got up, a little hesitant to take them, but the Gu family kept telling her not to overthink it, saying that these were wedding gifts and that she should just keep them.
Closing the booklet, You Niannian said, "Jewelry and the like can be made with models. I heard from my teammates that in their hometown, they use fake ones for weddings. Real ones are easy to be stolen. With so many people around, you wouldn't even know if they were stolen!"
When she heard this, she was incredulous and devastated! But she also felt it wasn't impossible. With so many people at the wedding, coming and going, it was easy for someone to take it without her noticing. Such a thing could indeed happen easily.
Gu Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry, the jewelry is being watched over by someone. Besides, who would dare to cause trouble in this kind of setting? Would they be courting death?" Knowing that she still couldn't accept the jewelry, Gu Yin reassured her, "It's a gift from an elder, so just take it. We're all family, so there's no need to feel pressured!"
Yu Niannian nodded helplessly: "I'll try my best."
Upon arriving at the studio, the group got out of the car, where someone was already there to greet them.
"What are you doing here? Aren't you busy?" Gu Yin asked, raising her eyebrows as she saw Tie Mao come out to greet her.
Tie Mao smiled and said, "President Chu instructed the studio to make preparations beforehand. I was worried that something might have been overlooked, so I came along to take a look. The best makeup artists, stylists, and designers are all here, just waiting for Miss You's arrival!"
Upon hearing this, You Niannian smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Tie Mao waved his hand: "It's nothing, no trouble at all! Let's go, tea and everything are prepared inside, let's see which set to try first!"
