Upon returning, Lu Wanzheng felt a slight pang of disappointment at not seeing Xiao Qifeng. She felt as if her soul was being pulled along by him, and even a short absence felt like an eternity.
That evening, Jiang Qinyi wanted to have a pre-wedding chat with Lu Wanzheng, but Lu Wanzheng stopped her in time.
"What are you thinking about? Tomorrow is such an important day, why aren't you going to bed early! Do you want to attend your own wedding with dark circles under your eyes tomorrow?" Lu Wanzheng said as she scratched Jiang Qinyi's stomach.
"I was wrong... Hahaha... I was wrong... Hahahaha." Jiang Qinyi's words were broken as she was being scratched, and she kept begging for mercy.
Lu Wanzheng stopped what she was doing. "You," she paused, "there will be a lot of socialites coming tomorrow. Be careful not to embarrass yourself. Song Zhishu comes from a wealthy family and is a good person. So many people are envious of him... Be careful they laugh at you and think you are not good enough for him."
Hearing Lu Wanzheng's words, Jiang Qinyi stiffened her neck and blushed, "That troublemaker is attracting all sorts of suitors for me. So many people are eyeing him, which means I have good taste. Others can only watch helplessly. Do they want to laugh at me?" She didn't forget to hum and haw after saying that.
"Alright, go to sleep now, you'll be the most beautiful bride tomorrow."
The two didn't say anything more, and perhaps because the room was quiet, Jiang Qinyi quickly fell asleep.
In the quiet environment, the image of Mu Qifeng unconsciously popped into Lu Wanzheng's mind.
When she realized it, she quickly shook her head to clear her mind. To distract herself, she took out her phone; she was already quite used to the online controversies.
The only thing that can attract her right now is the casting for "The Great Path of Glory". Her agent has already been contacting people for her, hoping to get her an audition for the female lead.
As she was thinking, Lu Wanzheng's phone rang. It was her agent. Speak of the devil, and he appears!
"Sister Yao, how did your discussion go?" Lu Wanzheng lowered her voice, afraid of waking Jiang Qinyi, who was fast asleep beside her.
"It's settled. It's just an audition for the second female lead. The audition is on Saturday morning. I'll take you there then, so you'd better be well prepared."
"Don't worry, I've already memorized my lines."
Lu Wanzheng was now completely satisfied, feeling that everything was going smoothly again.
Feeling great and ready to share on social media, I posted a screenshot of my winnings with the caption: "Congratulations to myself on escaping bad luck and entering good luck!"
After posting on her WeChat Moments, Lu Wanzheng went to read a novel.
I had only read a few chapters when I received a message from Xiao Qifeng.
Xiao Qifeng: You really like Hanfu?
Ah! Lu Wanzheng forced herself not to jump out of bed, but the smile on her face was impossible to hide.
He replied, "Mr. Xiao, how did you know?"
Xiao Qifeng: Your profile picture, your phone screen, and your Moments.
Moments?
Lu Wanzheng exited the chat interface, and sure enough, there was a red number in the "Discover" section of WeChat.
Someone did like or comment on her post on WeChat Moments, but you could count the number of people in her Moments on your fingers. Except for one person lying next to her, fast asleep, the rest of them were all quite busy.
Curiosity led her to click on it, and sure enough, it was true, but the person displayed was Xiao Qifeng!
She was surprised that Xiao Qifeng had liked the post; she had assumed he was just looking at it.
The time was the same as when we were just chatting, meaning he contacted her as soon as he saw the post on his WeChat Moments.
Lu Wanzheng lay on her side on the bed, her back to Jiang Qinyi, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
She held her phone to her chest, closed her eyes, and even as she fell asleep, a smile lingered in her eyes. It was clear how happy this event had made her.
After finishing his work, Xiao Qifeng saw Lu Wanzheng's post on WeChat Moments. He subconsciously liked it and very presumptuously sent her a message. He wanted to quickly retract it, but Lu Wanzheng was faster than him and replied to his message directly.
Looking at the three words "Mr. Xiao" that she sent, which were originally cold, suddenly became warm.
He liked it when Lu Wanzheng called him Mr. Xiao; it had a different feel to it than what people usually did.
He tried his best to reply to Lu Wanzheng's messages instantly.
And that led to the following sentence.
But after sending that message, Lu Wanzheng didn't reply. This made Xiao Qifeng panic. He looked back at the message he'd just sent. Did Lu Wanzheng think he was a peeping tom?
Xiao Qifeng took a deep breath, sat up from his office chair, lay down on the bed, hesitated for a while, and then sent Lu Wanzheng a goodnight message.
Lying in bed, he tossed and turned, finally drifting off to sleep with a hint of frustration.
next day
Lu Wanzheng woke up to the deafening sound of her alarm clock.
She walked to the window and slowly drew back the floor-to-ceiling curtains. The spring sunshine outside was just right, and the sunlight poured into the room, revealing the festive atmosphere inside.
The sunlight shone on Jiang Qinyi's face, stinging painfully.
Jiang Qinyi felt the light, but she couldn't open her eyes. To relieve the pain in her eyes from the sunlight, she buried her face deep in the blanket.
Lu Wanzheng blocked the light with her body, dug Jiang Qinyi out from under the covers, and pulled her hand to help her sit up.
Jiang Qinyi's sleepy eyes were half-closed. She ruffled her hair and rubbed her face with her hands, trying to wake herself up.
"Today is your big day. The makeup artist and stylist are on their way. Hurry up and get ready."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qinyi listlessly got out of bed.
After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I sat down at the vanity and started with some skincare.
Then the makeup artist did a complete makeover from head to toe. Today was Jiang Qinyi's most important day, and the makeup artist dared not slack off at all. She put in all her effort and used all her knowledge to create a very exquisite and beautiful makeup look for Jiang Qinyi.
The wedding dress was delivered by Song Zhishu yesterday. I heard that it was designed by a famous designer from Y country. He spent a week drawing five sheets of paper before Song Ershao approved it. From the blueprints to the fabric and decorations of the wedding dress, everything was supervised by Song Ershao.
This shows that Young Master Song is fond of Jiang Qinyi.
He was willing to give her everything he considered the best, without holding anything back.
After seeing Jiang Qinyi get up, Lu Wanzheng took out her phone and saw a message from Xiao Qifeng.
Xiao Qifeng: Good night.
The time was 10:30 pm last night.
Lu Wanzheng was already asleep at that time.
She actually missed Mr. Xiao's goodnight yesterday!
To be honest, her heart skipped a beat when she saw the words "Goodnight".
Wan Zheng: "Good morning, Mr. Xiao."
Thinking it was a bit abrupt, she added: "I fell asleep last night and couldn't reply in time."
I thought it was over and was just about to exit to change my clothes when I saw the words "The other party is typing" appear in big letters on the chat box.
Lu Wanzheng held her breath. Mr. Xiao was replying to her message!
