Chapter 175 The Wedding
Early in the morning, before I was even fully awake, I was dragged out of bed.
Chen Yan's housekeeper smiled and said, "Madam, today is the wedding day. You should get up early to do your makeup and be a beautiful bride."
This aunt looks so happy; anyone who didn't know her would think she was a bride.
Song Yilin closed her eyes and let the makeup artist apply makeup to her face.
Including getting her hair done, it took her two hours to finish.
A row of wedding dresses was laid out for her to choose from.
"Madam, please choose one."
If she is looking forward to the wedding, she will take her time choosing her dress.
Since Chen Yan has already arranged the wedding, why doesn't he just help her choose the wedding dress?
Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, the aunt had someone display the wedding dress again.
"Alright, that white one with the train will do."
This wedding dress is clearly haute couture. The fact that Chen Yan could buy so many shows that his financial strength is not to be underestimated.
The wedding dress is haute couture, and the brand needs to help her put it on.
They were then shoved into a car and taken to the hotel.
Many girls dream of a romantic wedding from a young age, and she did too.
She's been married twice, and today she's finally married, but the groom isn't the one she wanted.
Upon arrival, Song Yilin went to a VIP lounge to wait for the time to go on stage for the ceremony.
There happens to be a mirror in the VIP room.
The person in the mirror is gentle and quiet, the sharpness in their eyes and brows gone.
It seems like all wedding makeup artists like to make the bride look gentle and soft.
The common perception is that once married, one should temper their sharp edges and become a good wife.
Song Yilin sighed.
There are countless media outlets out there, and who knows what they'll write about her. Not long ago, she was showing off her love with Xu Qingmin and announcing their child together, and now she's getting married to Chen Yan. Hopefully, Xu Qingmin can handle this media storm.
She didn't want to marry Xu Qingmin before because she didn't want to live in the media spotlight every day. Unexpectedly, even before she got married, Xu Qingmin will live in the spotlight every day, and he will be even more loved by the media than if she had married Xu Qingmin normally.
Bored, I glanced in the mirror and turned around to find Chen Yan standing at the door. I had no idea how long he had been there.
"Is it time yet?"
"Not yet, I just want to see my bride first."
Song Yilin generously showed it to Chen Yan: "Look."
She was a hired model, and he had to do his job as the doll he created himself.
Chen Yan's gaze was full of admiration, without revealing any uncomfortable stare.
"My wife is beautiful."
Chen Yan watched for a while before letting Zheng Li push him away.
It seems she didn't even have a bridesmaid at this wedding.
She didn't notify any of her relatives or friends.
Waiting in the VIP room was boring.
Suddenly, Wang Qianqian's voice rang out from the doorway: "Is this the place?"
Then came Xiao Zhang's voice: "I think so."
Clang, clang...
"Qianqian, this is it, come in."
I felt indescribably moved. Wang Qianqian and Xiao Zhang were friends I met at work. Workplace friendships usually fade away when you change jobs, so it's rare to have two genuine friends.
"Why are you here? How did you know I was having my wedding today? Did Chen Yan invite you?"
Xiao Zhang took out his phone and handed it to Song Yilin: "No, it's the news of your marriage that's already spread online."
It seems that Chen Yan announced it to the media in advance.
Wang Qianqian stepped forward and took her hand: "Yilin, are you alright?"
Song Yilin touched Wang Qianqian's belly: "I'm fine. We've been through a lot, this little thing is nothing."
Xiao Zhang looked around the huge lounge and saw that she was the only one there.
"Mr. Song, don't you have a bridesmaid? Shall I be your bridesmaid?"
Song Yilin shook her head: "No need. Chen Yan doesn't have a groomsman either. I only found out about this wedding yesterday. It's normal that there are no bridesmaids."
She didn't have any expectations for this wedding; why make it so formal?
Even so, Xiao Zhang and Wang Qianqian still took a lot of photos with her, which made up for the photo session that bridesmaids would normally have at a wedding.
But Xiao Zhang, without anyone noticing, also got a bridesmaid dress and walked out with her at the beginning.
They walked together to the stage.
Chen Yan was nominated by Zheng Li, who was dressed very formally. No one noticed that there were no groomsmen at the wedding; those who didn't know would have thought Zheng Li was the groomsman.
The wedding was awkward. There were no speeches from either set of parents, nor any heartfelt farewells between the bride and groom. Chen Yan simply gave a speech thanking everyone for coming.
There were no bridesmaids vying for the bouquet.
Fortunately, it ended soon afterward.
However, the media was very excited about this matter and asked her many questions, but she did not answer any of them. As soon as the ceremony ended, Song Yilin left.
Chen Yan also left with her. Normally, the bride and groom would toast together, but Chen Yan was in such a state that he couldn't drink either. The rest was left to Zheng Li to deal with those people.
"Mr. Chen, do you want to go home or to the hospital?"
Chen Yan's foot hadn't reached the point where he could be discharged from the hospital. As a working wife, she had no obligation to advise him to take care of his health.
Besides, people who don't cherish themselves won't listen to any advice.
"No, I'm going home."
Song Yilin sighed, finally feeling a pang of pity: "Let's go to the hospital. You've been through so much today. Your chances of standing up were already slim, and if you keep going like this, it'll be even less likely you'll be able to."
Chen Yan was delighted: "Yilin, are you concerned about me?"
Song Yilin looked out of the car with a helpless expression.
"If you say so, then so be it. After all, without you, my daughter wouldn't be alive."
"But I hope your concern for me isn't just because of your daughter."
There was a hint of loneliness and desolation in Chen Yan's tone, something he rarely did.
Even the driver couldn't help but glance at him in the rearview mirror.
Song Yilin glanced at Chen Yan and said, "President Chen, I thank you, and I truly appreciate it."
There are no pure emotions in this world. Just like her feelings for Xu Qingmin, besides love, there is also the familial affection that he is the father of her child.
When I got home, there was a flower archway at the entrance.
The house was decorated very romantically, with rose petals all over the floor and even the stair railings were decorated with flowers.
Set up a Western-style dining table in the living room, with steak, flowers, and candles on it.
Although she knew that Chen Yan's leg couldn't do anything to her, this arrangement made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Mr. Chen, what does this mean?"
Chen Yan's wheelchair is now electric, so he can drive it around the house by himself.
Chen Yan drove his wheelchair to her side: "Today is our wedding night. What we just had was a wedding for others to see. Now is our own ceremony."
Chen Yan then had someone open the red wine.
The sight of red wine sets off alarm bells for her.
She doesn't know if she's pregnant yet, and if she is, she can't drink alcohol.
