You Are My Unforgettable Love - Chapter 823

Chapter 823: The Wedding (5)

The following day was the auspicious date chosen for Shen Zihao’s and Xia Nuannuan’s wedding.

Xia Yehua woke up early in the morning and woke Qiao Lian up as well. The two women were in the fitting room, discussing what they were going to wear.

Excitedly, Xia Yehua held a bright red top up and said, “Today is Zihao’s big day, how do I look in this?”

Qiao Lian said, “Pretty and festive!”

But Xia Yehua shook her head and decided, “It’s too bright. I’m too old… Forget it.”

Having said this, she tossed the top aside.

Qiao Lian grabbed her hand and said, “Mom, today you’re the mother-in-law! Of course, you should dress brightly. Zihao will be displeased If you dress too simply and subtly.”

Xia Yehua looked troubled and hesitated.

Shen Liangchuan stood at the doorway in his suit. “Mom, we’re just going to a wedding. Why are you so nervous?”

Xia Yehua immediately rolled her eyes and said, “What do you know? This is the first time a son of mine is getting married. Of course I’m nervous!”

The moment she said this, the room fell silent.

Xia Yehua quickly looked up and saw that Qiao Lian had froze on the spot.

Throughout all the preparations for Shen Zihao’s and Xia Nuannuan’s wedding, Qiao Lian had been feeling uneasy, or even slightly unpleasant.

Now she finally understood why.

Because she had not even had her own wedding.

Now that Xia Yehua pointed it out, Qiao Lian felt somewhat at a loss.

She didn’t know how she should respond to the remark. Her eyes flashed as she turned to look at Shen Liangchuan.

Neither had Shen Liangchuan considered this matter till Xia Yehua made the remark. His eyes clouded over as he looked at Qiao Lian and saw that her eyes were glistening. She obviously did not wish to address the matter.

He thought of his initial intentions for marrying her, of how he owed her a wedding, and of how she had been trying in all kinds of ways to cheer him and his mother up recently.

But he, on the other hand, had neglected her because of Soul Fighter.

He felt guilty at once and walked into the room.

He said with absolute certainty, “Xiao Qiao, I assure you that you’ll have a special wedding.”

Then he turned to look at Xia Yehua and said, “Mom, today’s a good opportunity for you to learn. It’s a good reference for when you prepare for my wedding.”

Sensing the awkwardness between the couple, Xia Yehua immediately held Qiao Lian’s hands and said with a smile, “Yes, and we won’t hold the wedding in Beijing. Let’s look for an island! It will have to be exceptionally romantic.”

Qiao Lian pretended to pull a face at their remarks and said, “Who said that I’m going to marry you? You haven’t even proposed! I’m not marrying you!”

Then she petulantly turned around to select a gown for herself.

Xia Yehua shot Shen Liangchuan a look, picked up her dress and left the room quietly.

Qiao Lian had no idea what was going on, she was focused on deciding which gown looked more appropriate for the occasion. As she was contemplating this, she suddenly felt a pair of arms embracing her waist. She felt his light breathing tickling the back of her neck as he whispered, “Xiao Qiao, I love you.”

She was stunned and froze in the midst of what she was doing.

She stood there, feeling like she was in a dream as her eyes started to sting.

She hung her head and acknowledged it with a soft “umm.”

He spoke again, “Will you… marry me?”
