Chapter 29 I am my wife's loyal dog
September 22nd.
The 19th day of the eighth lunar month is an auspicious day for marriage.
At five o'clock in the morning, before it was fully light, Jiang Qingying was woken up by her alarm clock. She had barely slept for five hours and wasn't particularly tired.
Lin Tingwan, standing beside her, was a different story. The dark circles under her eyes were even blacker than squid ink. Jiang Qingying laughed at her, "You didn't sleep all night, did you?"
Lin Tingwan looked at her with a mournful gaze and accused her, "It's all your fault, I had nightmares all night."
After Jiang Qingying finished telling the story, she couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep immediately, leaving Nan Chun and Lin Tingwan staring at each other. Nan Chun had experienced a big scene before, so she fell asleep after a brief moment of surprise. But Lin Tingwan didn't react for a long time. She stared at the ceiling with her big eyes for two hours before finally falling asleep.
As a result, I had nightmares even after falling asleep.
In her dream, she was much like Shen Shuyun, witnessing Jiang Qingying's ruthless actions all the way, only to be killed by her and Lu Jinyuan to silence her after the truth came out.
In my dream, she was wailing, why! I always have to catch her!
"What nightmare did you have?" Jiang Qingying asked.
Lin Tingwan's pupils dilated suddenly. "I don't remember it when I woke up." How could she dare to say that she dreamt of her and Lu Jinyuan making love?
When the stylist and makeup artist came in, Jiang Qingying stopped teasing her.
The morning look was simple: a light purple halter-neck dress as a morning robe, complemented by light makeup and a simple hairstyle.
The two bridesmaids were all ready, and the photographer was called in to take pictures. The bedroom had been decorated in advance, with a pure white and simple style, with a few touches of red for a festive touch, making for great photos.
After a flurry of photoshoots, Jiang Qingying changed into the queen of traditional dragon and phoenix gowns. The skirt featured pink and gold phoenix embroidery, symbolizing auspiciousness, while the auspicious cloud pattern paired with densely woven gold thread represented harmony. The stylist added hair extensions to her short hair, styling it into a low bun. Her head was simply adorned with a pure gold, handcrafted phoenix hairpin, and matching earrings, creating an overall elegant and understated yet luxurious look.
Nan Chun was drawn to the golden phoenix hairpin in Jiang Qingying's hair. She touched the tassels on the hairpin and her eyes lit up with admiration: "So beautiful."
Jiang Qingying smiled and said calmly, "Of course, this is my family heirloom."
Nan Chun immediately stopped touching it, pulled her hand back, and even slapped her hand hard. "An antique?"
“Hmm, it’s a set with the earrings, passed down for generations.” Seeing her envious expression, Jiang Qingying took her hand and said, “When you get married, I’ll have someone make you a unique gold phoenix hairpin.”
While delighted, Nan Chun joked, "Then you might have to wait a long time."
Lin Tingwan leaned her face closer and blurted out, "Me, me, me? I'm getting married soon."
Before Jiang Qingying could speak, she continued, "I prefer a phoenix crown, the pure gold kind."
Jiang Qingying reached out and pinched her cheek. "You have quite an appetite."
Time passed quickly amidst laughter and chatter, and Lu Jinyuan's wedding procession arrived.
Jiang Qingying couldn't resist her curiosity and went to the window to peek down. A long line of dozens of black luxury cars was parked downstairs, almost as far as the eye could see. The sound of cannons kept ringing out, creating a grand and solemn scene. A person got out of the wedding car at the front of the line.
Lu Jinyuan stood tall and straight in front of the courtyard gate, dressed in a black suit. His red bow tie was crisp, and a delicate gold corsage was pinned to his left chest. On this special day, he was no longer so aloof and cold, and his eyes were filled with tenderness.
"Stop looking, the groom can't see you beforehand," Nan Chun said.
Jiang Qingying was dragged back by her and obediently sat on the bed waiting.
Downstairs on the other side.
Lu Jinyuan ran into Jiang Xu in the first challenge. Jiang Xu stood with her arms crossed in front of the first-floor entrance, her expression unreadable.
“Speak, what do you want?” Lu Jinyuan stood in front of him, head held high, without a trace of fear.
Jiang Xu curled her lips into a smile. "You know, I don't lack anything."
"so?"
"Just agree to two conditions."
"you say."
"My sister has a bad temper. When you argue with her, please be more accommodating to her. It would be even better if you could coax her."
"Can."
"If she hits you, you can't hit back."
"certainly."
Jiang Xu stared at him for a while, then stepped aside to make way for him.
Lu Jinyuan was surprised and asked silently: Did you pass so easily?
Jiang Xu smiled meaningfully, her eyes saying: You'll find out soon enough.
Lu Jinyuan tossed him a car key—a limited-edition Bugatti, a supercar worth eight figures. Jiang Xu had everything, but he wouldn't refuse it.
The wedding procession cheered as they went up to the second floor, where Nan Chun and Lin Tingwan were already waiting. When the groom came over, they handed him the prepared computer.
"I heard you studied computer science abroad, so if you crack the code on the computer, you can get in."
Lu Jinyuan took the computer and, seeing the two of them looking so confident, assumed it was some extremely difficult code. But he cracked it in just five minutes.
Lin Tingwan and Nan Chun stared at each other, dumbfounded, and began arguing as if their hearts were connected by electricity.
Nan Chun: Didn't you say you found a really skilled expert? How come you solved it so quickly? What's next?
Lin Tingwan: I don't know either. I don't understand code. He made it sound so amazing that I believed him.
Seeing that they were losing face, Lu Jinyuan waved his hand to signal the best man to give them red envelopes. Stacks of red banknotes, as thick as bricks, were put into the pockets of the two bridesmaids. Finally, Lu Jinyuan even took out two black cards from his pocket himself.
"This is a special VIP card for any department store under the Lu Group. It can be used at any store. There are only two available. You two can use this card to shop at the store and buy anything without paying."
Upon hearing this, Nan Chun and Lin Tingwan lost all interest in blocking the door. Their minds were filled with thoughts of designer clothes, shoes, and bags. After each taking a card, they jumped open the door without hesitation to let others through.
Jiang Qingying, who was inside, heard everything that was happening outside. She was so envious. She wished she could have a card too. She wanted to buy things without spending money. But then she thought, now that she was the mistress of the Lu family, it seemed that she didn't need to spend money anyway.
While he was secretly pleased with himself, Lu Jinyuan had already entered.
Jiang Qingying's room faces the sun, and in the morning when the sun is shining brightly, the sunlight shines into the room and falls on her dragon and phoenix gown, making her look as if she is surrounded by a warm golden halo. Wearing a traditional dress inevitably makes one feel a sense of constraint, but at this moment she is still that unrestrained and flamboyant divine girl.
Lu Jinyuan paused slightly, his gaze fixed on the person sitting by the bed. She was very beautiful. Although she had always been beautiful, she was exceptionally different today. Her makeup was heavier and more exquisite, highlighting her stunningly beautiful face.
Not only was Lu Jinyuan stunned, but the group of people behind him were also mesmerized by Jiang Qingying's beauty.
"It's not that easy to take away such a beautiful bride," Nan Chun said, trying to lighten the mood.
Lu Jinyuan rubbed his temples. He wasn't very patient to begin with, and now there were still difficulties to overcome. Jiang Qingying was also surprised. She had told them beforehand that the wedding procession didn't need to be too complicated, and she knew about the things at the entrance, but no one had informed her that there was more.
Under the questioning scrutiny of the newlyweds, Nan Chun mustered her courage and took out a piece of paper covered with dense writing, handing it to Lu Jinyuan: "Groom, please kneel on one knee and read your declaration of love."
Given who Lu Jinyuan and Jiang Qingying are, it's a rare opportunity to really mess with them, so the contents of this so-called declaration of love are extremely cheesy.
Lu Jinyuan glanced at her, a hint of embarrassment that never appeared in his eyes in a million years, but it did today. He looked at Jiang Qingying, who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, and said with an air of arrogance, "My lovely, generous and beautiful wife, I hereby swear."
He paused, then mentally prepared himself again, "My wife is the most important person, everything she says is right, I'm her loyal dog, I'll do whatever she tells me to do, her scolding or hitting me is a sign of affection, and I'll always be there to comfort and kiss her, lift her up high and hug her..."
"Alright, alright! Stop reading."
Jiang Qingying covered her face when he read the first sentence. Even though it wasn't her reading it, she still felt embarrassed. She didn't dare to watch how Lu Jinyuan read the sentence with a serious expression.
She snatched the paper from his hand and threw it aside, as if afraid he would read another word.
The onlookers were laughing so hard they couldn't stop. Luckily, they recorded a video so they could enjoy it later.
