Chapter 205 Extra Chapter 1: The Wedding (2)
After arriving at the wedding venue, Wenxi rested in the dressing room backstage.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Bai Wei went to open the door, and upon seeing who it was, she immediately stood at attention: "President Wen..."
Wen Zhou's indifferent face held a faint smile: "How is Xixi?"
Although Wen Zhou appears refined and scholarly, he exudes an aloof and authoritative air that always makes Bai Wei a little intimidated.
Bai Wei obediently replied, "Wen Lu is quite good."
"Let me see her."
Bai Wei immediately stepped aside to give way.
Wenxi was a little sleepy and was quietly dozing off when she saw Wenzhou. She immediately perked up: "Brother! What brings you here?"
"Just came to see you." Wen Zhou held a box in his hand and asked casually, "Nervous?"
Wenxi thought for a moment and shook her head: "I don't seem very nervous."
"You trust Shang Chen that much?"
Wenxi smiled and said, "I believe in him, and I believe in myself."
Wenxi is not a person who enjoys crowds.
For her, the wedding was just a secular ceremony.
What she values more is mutual trust and support in daily life.
So at today's wedding, she was more like a doll dressed up beautifully, putting on a performance.
A smile appeared on Wen Zhou's delicate face: "But I'm nervous."
Wenxi was taken aback.
Before the wedding, Wenxi discussed it with the Yan family.
During the entrustment ceremony at the wedding, she wanted Wen Zhou to go on stage.
For Yu Wenxi, Wenzhou was the father and brother figure in her life.
So today, the one who took Wenxi's hand and went on stage to entrust her to Shang Chen was Wenzhou.
Wen Zhou said he was nervous.
Wenxi's eyes suddenly stung, but she smiled and said, "Brother, don't be nervous, I'll hold your hand later."
Wen Zhou's eyes held a hint of helplessness: "I was indeed influenced by Shang Chen. You used to at least offer me a few words of comfort."
Wenxi was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Even though his brother had already accepted Shang Chen, he still couldn't hold back with his words.
Wen Zhou handed the box to Wen Xi: "Take a look."
Wenxi took the box, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "What is this?"
"Let's open it up and take a look."
Wenxi opened the gift box as Wenzhou had instructed.
Inside was a crown studded with diamonds; the brilliance of the diamonds refracted so brightly it brought tears to my eyes.
Bai Wei and the others couldn't help but gasp.
Wenxi was stunned for a moment.
When Wenxi was eight years old, she participated in the school's end-of-term arts performance.
After the stage play ended, Wenxi was still reluctant to leave.
Her eyes sparkled as she made a wish: "Brother, when I get married, I want to wear such a beautiful crown!"
Wenxi held one of her small hands in Wenzhou's hand, while she gestured in the air with her other hand.
"It should be completely covered with sparkling diamonds, and also have little stars and little moons!"
Wen Zhou smiled as he watched Wen Xi gesturing excitedly, "Okay."
It was a casual remark from childhood, and so much time has passed that even Wenxi herself has almost forgotten about it.
Upon seeing the crown in her arms, Wenxi was instantly reminded of that night.
The stars are bright, and the stage lights are dazzling.
After the performance, the school playground was filled with parents dragging chairs and children playing around.
She was wearing a princess dress, holding her brother's hand, and talking enthusiastically about what was happening on stage.
The brother and sister walked home hand in hand.
Back then, Wenxi's world was very small, so small that it consisted only of her and her brother.
The breeze felt wonderful, and my brother's smile was full of affection.
Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and Wenxi choked out, "Brother."
Wen Zhou carefully wiped her face with a tissue: "Why are you crying on such a nice day?"
Wenxi's tears kept flowing, and she couldn't speak.
Wen Zhou chuckled: "So excited?"
Wenxi raised her hand to her chest, smiling through her tears: "I just... feel so sorry for my brother."
That night, the other children all came to see the show with their parents, and went home together after the show.
Wenxi's parent is eleven-year-old Wenzhou.
But eight-year-old Wenzhou had no one to hold his hand and take him home.
Wen Zhou was slightly taken aback, but his smile remained unchanged.
He wanted to reach out and touch Wenxi's head to comfort her, just like he used to.
Wenxi was wearing a hair crown, and Wenzhou's hand finally landed on Wenxi's shoulder: "Brother is fine, don't worry."
Wenxi threw herself into Wenzhou's arms and cried out, "Brother!"
"If there is a next life, I still want to be your sister, and I still want you to grow up with me."
Wen Zhou patted her shoulder and gently coaxed her, "Yes, you will."
"Don't cry, sweetie."
"Shang Chen will be coming to settle accounts with me later."
Wenxi tried to smile, but her eyes were filled with tears: "He doesn't dare."
"That's not necessarily true." Wen Zhou: "He's already sold out your little secrets, what else wouldn't he dare to do?"
"He already knew about the scoring system, and even said that you were using the money I gave you as your relationship fund."
A hint of doubt flashed across Wenxi's face, then she burst into laughter.
Wenxi took the opportunity to ask her own question.
"Brother, Shang Chen's score isn't full yet, why are you letting him off so easily?"
Wen Zhou said calmly, "It's full."
Wenxi was puzzled: "?"
After Shang Chen wrote the first love letter, Wen Xi went to Wen Zhou to show off and ask him to give her points.
Wen Zhou added a point for Wen Xi's sake.
Later, Shang Chen wrote her more than a dozen love letters, and Wen Zhou generously gave her points for each one.
But even combined, it still didn't reach the passing score set by Wen Zhou.
Wen Zhou: "The purpose of the assessment is not to accumulate a hundred points, but to assess whether he is a qualified husband and whether he can take good care of you."
On the day of the National Top Ten Lawyers Award Ceremony, Wen Zhou, as usual, left early and went backstage.
As soon as he arrived backstage, he saw Shang Chen kneeling on one knee, helping Wenxi change her shoes.
Wen Zhou was also carrying a pair of flat shoes at the time.
In the past, Wenxi would have to stand in high heels for half a day to attend such award ceremonies.
Wenzhou would always prepare a pair of flat shoes for her and leave early to wait for Wenxi backstage.
This time, Shang Chen beat him to it.
Shang Chen has taken good care of Xi Xi, so he should step back and give the couple some space.
On that day, Wen Zhou simply gave Shang Chen a passing grade.
Wen Zhou: "He's qualified to be my brother-in-law."
After hearing what Wenzhou said, Wenxi felt like crying again.
