After dinner, Grandpa Su spoke to his youngest daughter.
"You should all stay tonight. This old house is so quiet."
Sophie felt inexplicably sad when she heard this.
"Dad, let's stay tonight. I don't want to drive anyway." Not wanting to drive was just an excuse she made up.
Everyone sat in the living room and watched television together.
Seeing this heartwarming scene, Uncle Ning arranged for someone to cut some fruit and bring it to the coffee table. Gu Niansi used a toothpick to pick up a piece of apple and held it to Old Master Su's lips.
"Great-grandfather, come on, have a piece of apple. Mom said it's very nutritious."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Su happily opened his mouth and took a bite of the apple. Seeing him eat it, Gu Niansi smiled sweetly.
Qin Ziming and Shen Shiyi sat to the side. Qin Ziming's eyes were full of love as he looked at her, while Shen Shiyi's gaze remained fixed on the two children. Su Lielong glanced at the directions they were looking in and couldn't help but smile.
With the wedding day drawing ever closer, the bridesmaids' dresses, including Nangong Zixin's, have been ordered. Shen Shiyi, having just finished class, walked into the office carrying materials. Seeing her colleagues there, she smiled faintly and spoke.
"Hello Professor Xu, hello Professor Nan."
The two men greeted her as she entered.
"Hello, Professor Shen."
After she sat down, the two started gossiping.
"Professor Shen, your wedding day is getting closer and closer. How are you feeling?"
Shen Shiyi put down the materials and was carefully organizing them on her desk when she was taken aback.
"Feelings?" What are your particular feelings?
Seeing that she didn't understand, the two had no choice but to stop the conversation.
Just then, her phone, which was on the table, rang.
"Hey, Yiran."
She wasn't surprised to receive Xia Yiran's call, but the next call was one she never wanted to receive again.
"Bing'er, I heard you're getting married." That's good, she still has a choice, but she no longer has the chance.
Shen Shiyi didn't know where she got the information from, and her tone became somewhat unpleasant.
"I didn't expect you to actually dare to call me." She was clearly trying to annoy her.
Mo Xuerong, who looked increasingly haggard, pursed her lips deeply upon hearing her words.
"You still hate me. I know you don't like me. I only called you because I had no one else to call."
Shen Shiyi's reaction to her shamelessness escalated further; she simply hung up the phone. She wasn't some saint who would forgive everyone who hurt her.
Upon seeing the phone call had ended, Mo Xuerong burst into tears.
Mo Xuerong: She regretted it, she really regretted it. But she never had another chance.
Shen Shiyi didn't take this little incident to heart at all.
Many of the Southern soldiers noticed that she looked unwell and quickly offered words of comfort.
"Um... Professor Shen, don't get angry over people who aren't worth it. You're going to be a bride, so don't let it affect your mood."
"That's right, Professor Shen, the bride can't be angry; she has to look beautiful in her wedding dress before the wedding."
Shen Shiyi smiled slightly at their teasing.
The wedding is in two weeks.
This wedding was the first in the Su family in over thirty years; the last one was when Qin's mother got married.
On one floor of the Su Group Hotel, makeup artists, stylists, dressmakers, and assistants were all meticulously preparing the bride for the day.
It was Ye Yingjian's first time wearing a bridesmaid dress, and everything felt new and exciting.
Seeing Xia Yiran tidying herself up in front of the full-length mirror, he quickly went over and took a look around.
"Yiran, do I look pretty?"
Xia Yiran chuckled softly.
"It looks beautiful, but we're all just supporting characters today."
Ye Yingjian rolled her eyes at her.
"You don't have to say it."
Sun Zhiling, who dislikes looking in the mirror, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Haha, Yiran, you've been rejected."
Xia Yiran looked at her with a mournful expression.
"You didn't have to say it."
Just then, the door was pushed open, and everyone's eyes turned to the entrance. A woman wearing a floral print sundress walked in.
Xia Yiran was taken aback when she saw who had come.
"Nangong Zixin." What's she doing here? Is she also a bridesmaid?
Nangong Zixin looked in the direction of the dressing table and walked straight over.
"Shiyi, how's your painting coming along?"
Chen Shiyi looked up.
"Zixin, you're here! We'll be done soon."
Nangong Zixin smiled gently, then stood aside and quietly watched the makeup artist do Shen Shiyi's makeup.
The dressmaker, who was standing nearby, came to Nangong Zixin.
"Miss Nangong, your bridesmaid dress is over there, please come with me."
Nangong Zixin looked up and glanced at Chen Shiyi.
"Shiyi, I'm going now."
Shen Shiyi pursed her lips and nodded.
Qin Ziming greeted the guests at the wedding.
"Hello, Mr. Huo."
A tall, imposing man with a tough-guy aura walked towards Qin Ziming.
"Congratulations!"
"Thank you, please come in!"
The man's name is Huo Zhengshu, which doesn't quite match his appearance. He is the successor of the Huo Group and the current CEO.
In a guest room lounge, Commander Nangong, dressed in a custom-made suit, stood in front of the mirror, looking at himself from side to side.
"Madam, do you see anything wrong with what I'm doing?" He felt a little awkward about it.
Lady Nangong had no choice but to get up and walk to Commander Nangong's side.
“It’s perfect. You’re just too nervous, after all, it’s your first time here.” Usually, the bride is escorted by her father to the groom. Since Shen Shiyi doesn’t have a father, Commander Nangong thought of this and offered to personally escort Shen Shiyi to the groom.
Commander Nangong smiled upon hearing his wife's words.
“What you say is true, madam.”
In another lounge, Principal Wang Chenghao was also fixing his suit and styling in front of the mirror.
Mrs. Wang, who was resting on the sofa, couldn't stand it anymore.
"Stop taking pictures, or you'll find something wrong even if there isn't one."
Upon hearing this, Principal Wang smiled awkwardly.
"This is my first time being a witness at a wedding, so I'm a little nervous. Let me think it over."
As the wedding ceremony officially began, Shen Shiyi felt a little nervous. Although she had been married before, it was entirely out of necessity; this time, it was her own choice, so it was understandable that she was somewhat nervous.
Commander Nangong sensed the bride's nervousness beside him and couldn't help but smile.
“Our fearless Shen Shiyi is actually nervous now.”
It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because once it was brought up, Shen Shiyi became even more uncomfortable and muttered under her breath.
"commander."
Upon hearing her address, Commander Nangong immediately spoke.
"Didn't I say that you can just call me Uncle from now on? You and Zixin have a good relationship, and we've worked together for so long, so you're practically like my daughter."
Nangong Zixin raised her hand to check her watch and quickly reminded those ahead.
"Dad, stop talking, the auspicious time has arrived, we're about to enter."
Upon hearing this, Commander Nangong immediately took a deep breath, while Shen Shiyi, standing to the side, was practically bursting with laughter.
Shen Shiyi: The usually calm and decisive commander is now getting nervous. He was trying to distract her with all the comforting words he gave her earlier.
