Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 610 - 590: Chang Xi’s Wedding (Part Two)

Before long, the two of them had eaten their fill, and the makeup artist thoughtfully reapplied their lipstick and handed them some chewing gum; they couldn’t very well go out reeking of gourmet food.

Chang Xi set down her soy milk, "When it’s your turn to get married, I’ll bring a whole bunch of tasty treats and eat them right in front of you." She said, clutching her still-protesting stomach, "Good thing this is just a one-time deal."

"No, no, no, there’s more, like when you get pregnant and throw up what you eat." Luo Qianqian grinned as she picked up the bridal bouquet, looking devoutly at the camera on the side, "My dear Nuannuan, will you marry me?" she said, before turning to kneel on one knee towards Qin Nuan.

The cameraperson covered their mouth to suppress a giggle, this bridesmaid was clearly here to crack jokes.

"Ah, really, really? But I don’t want to, oh, you’re too short, I’m concerned about genetics..." Qin Nuan also began to joke seriously, resting her chin on her hand in a thoughtful pose, then shook her head resolutely, "Drink more milk, child."

Chang Xi’s eyes sparkled as she watched the two, and with a sweeping gesture of her hand, she declared, "What’s all this fuss about? You’re both mine. Noble Consort Qin, Beauty Luo, would you sing a little tune for me?"

Luo Qianqian stood with hands on her hips, her face full of indignation, "That’s not fair, why is she the Noble Consort and I’m just a Beauty?"

Qin Nuan covered her mouth and giggled, "Don’t you know? Because you’re short." This again provoked a round of laughter from everyone.

Luo Qianqian pouted, feeling unjust, she was still young, okay? Still young...

It wasn’t long before the photographer left with the camera, but the atmosphere in the room grew tenser.

Chang Xi’s legs trembled, "I suddenly need to use the bathroom, what should I do?"

"Then go, don’t end up wetting your pants from the nerves..." Luo Qianqian immediately agreed with Chang Xi going to the bathroom.

Who knew Qin Nuan would quickly slap a hair tie down, "Should we tie up this dress first?"

Chang Xi’s mouth twitched as she looked at the long train of the dress, sighing, "I’ll hold it."

"You can go when we change outfits later," the make-up artist spoke with experienced ease, "The actual ceremony won’t take that long either, don’t scare yourself."

"Actually, being a bridesmaid is relatively fortunate; at least you can eat," Qin Nuan sighed as she listened to Chang Xi’s stomach growling. If getting married was this complicated, she’d rather not do it at all.

"You won’t force me to starve with you when you get married, will you?" Luo Qianqian shrank her neck a little and looked uneasy.

Qin Nuan rolled her eyes dismissively, "Who could manage you? In a fit of pique, you could even eat me."

"Speaking of which, did you know your big brother is coming back?" Chang Xi looked towards Qin Nuan, "Qin Liang."

"Ah?" Qin Nuan’s face showed a frightened expression, "How come I don’t know? He’s not coming back to beat people up, is he?"

Naturally, Qin Nuan wasn’t worried about Qin Liang coming back to beat her up, but she might not be so forgiving of those who almost got her hurt...

"How could that be? Boss isn’t someone who resorts to violence easily," Luo Qianqian hurriedly defended her cheap big brother.

Qin Nuan rolled her eyes; yes, the times he did resort to violence, it was certainly no trifle.

"According to my brother, it’s a transfer within the company," Chang Xi spread her hands, "But that’s all I know, I don’t have any more news."

Qin Nuan’s face still wore a look of confusion when she heard someone knock on the door, "The ceremony is about to begin..."

Having relaxed from chatting about other things, Chang Xi’s heart suddenly jumped back into her throat, thumping with presence. She gently patted her chest, a picture of calm.

Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan checked themselves in the mirror before saying, "Let’s go, no one will be there to share your nerves on stage." As bridesmaids, they had to go up earlier than Chang Xi.

"I now sincerely think that a destination wedding is a good idea," Chang Xi put on her veil, took two deep breaths, and then approached the closed doors of the banquet hall where Father Wei was already waiting.

After greeting Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan, they entered the banquet hall; the bridesmaids had a different entrance from the bride.

The host was already sound-checking.

Seeing Xi Ming and Wei Ming, who were already coolly in their designated spots, Luo Qianqian felt a surge of gossip: "Did you guys eat anything? Sister Xi only let me have half a cup of soy milk."

Wei Ming’s mouth hung open in surprise, then, remembering their current location, slowly closed it and whispered, "You’re not going to faint during the ceremony, right? We ate something this morning."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qianqian could only resent the unfairness in her heart. Why could they eat while the bridesmaids had to starve? But then again, she didn’t really feel like she was starving right now, did she?

"Now, please welcome the bridesmaids and groomsmen," the host called. Since Ye Liang’s family wasn’t present, it had already been arranged for Father Wei to handle this step and all the related comments later on.

Luo Qianqian was caught off guard and then was swiftly taken by the arm by Xi Ming; behind them, Qin Nuan and Wei Ming also kept their arms linked. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

It wouldn’t have mattered before, but as Luo Qianqian walked on stage, she felt two sharp gazes directed at... Qin Nuan.

Yep, without a doubt, it was the jealous Yanran.

And her fiancé? Jimo Cheng was holding a camera, taking photos of her, nodding with a smile on his face.

Once on stage, the men and women separated and stood on opposite sides; Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan stood together, both barely holding back their laughter. Looking at the tightly clenched fist of Qin Nuan, Luo Qianqian knew that gaze had put quite a bit of pressure on her.

Luo Qianqian’s gaze fell on one of the guests, who was looking at her unlike the others who were focused on the host. She was sure of it, but frustratingly, she couldn’t recall any memory of this person.

After introducing the bridesmaids and groomsmen, the host continued, "Now, please welcome the bride and her father..." Romantic music immediately played, turning everyone’s attention to the entrance of the banquet hall.

As Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan stepped down from the stage, the former furrowed her brow slightly, "Nuannuan, I think I saw someone familiar, but I don’t recognize him."

"Familiar? But you don’t recognize? Have you gone nuts?" Qin Nuan squeezed the words out from between her teeth, her face wearing a smile.

"I’m sure I’ve seen him before, and it feels very familiar, but the outfit is unfamiliar, I just find the eyes very familiar." Luo Qianqian smiled as she watched the ceremony proceed, and seeing Yanran’s persistent gaze on Qin Nuan, couldn’t help but tease, "My brother’s eyes are about to fall into your clothes."

Qin Nuan’s face blushed: "Stop talking nonsense!" She glanced at her chest, wondering if indeed she was revealing too much?

Watching Father Wei place Chang Xi’s hand into Ye Liang’s and embrace him, entrusting him to look after Chang Xi, Luo Qianqian shed tears: "I always feel like crying at scenes like this."

Looking up at Qin Nuan, who was also tearfully watching the couple under the spotlight, her tears instantly vanished. Considering Qin Nuan’s own wedding would be next and she was still very young, why was she getting so emotional for nothing?
