Kapitel 69: The wedding begins

A wedding was supposed to be a joyous occasion, a day to be celebrated, where two souls came together. Joined in holy matrimony. Bonded by vows – to love and to cherish till death do them part.

Never in a million years did Zhenyi she would be walking down the aisle, much less to an enemy-- Long Jie, what an enigma her very soon-to-be husband was. There was nothing romantic about the wedding. Though there was a grand wedding; the gorgeous, most expensive gowns; stunning heels that many brides would lust for; a lovely veil to put any other veils to shame, and the most handsome groom. But the only problem was, the whole charade was unwanted including the sexiest groom on the planet--they had called the perfect prince charming.

Then again, she was no Cinderella and he was no prince charming either. They were going to be wedded to each other for anything but love. To Zhenyi the vows were just the tradition, she deemed their contract conditions as their vows.

But there she was sitting in a chair in the middle of the bride's room as the hairstylist was curling her hair into soft curls as she had requested. Aria and Fan Bingbing were sitting on the bed watching her every move. Aria was her bridesmaids as she had asked and Fan Bingbing her maid of honor

"How are you wearing it today?"Fang Bingbing asked as the hairstylist started curling her waist-long hairs instead of an updo.

"The sides will be up and the back will be down." Zhenyi loved her waist-long hair when it drooped in gentle curls. She didn't want to wear it in an updo especially on her wedding day.

"That'll look great with the long veil," Aria spoke. She was wearing a blush-colored bridesmaid dress the same color as Fan Bingbing.

The hairstylist gave her a mirror when she finished curling her hair. "Please tell me, what you think and if you want to change anything."

"No changes. It's exactly the way I wanted it." Zhenyi gave herself another look in the large mirror. Indeed it looked pretty as she thought. And the hairstylist sighed in relief, finally, her client agreed on something. It was a difficult job attending her but she was hired by Ming Jia especially for Zhenyi's wedding and who could decline big money just for a bitchy client.

Zhenyi rarely wore her hair down. But today she wanted to. And it seemed she made the right decision. She was pleased with her hairstyle.

Ming Jia entered the bridal room and tried to blink her tears away when she looked at her god-daughter. "So beautiful. Just like a princess."

"Thank you," Zhenyi said as she took Ming Jia's hand in hers. She was aware of the turmoil inside her Godmother's heart. She was a strong woman who rarely showed her emotions but today she couldn't help it.

"I can't believe my little girl is so big now. All I want to do is take you away from here and keep to myself alone." Ming Jia smiled as she caressed Zhenyi's face with her another hand.

"Come on Sister Jia, you can't take the bride away. The poor groom will be left behind. And you don't want to offend a Long." Wen Juan said as she entered the bridal room.

"Long my ass. hmmp!!" Ming Jia huffed.

No one was more precious than her Goddaughter, not even that Long lad.

Zhenyi laughed with all of them. Her Godmother and her antics, both were out of the world.

"Come on, Mother -in- law, have you seen Long Jie's ass? It's to die for." Of course, Bingbing the nut case spoke. Since the time, she had come to know Ming Jia was Sam's mother, she started calling her mother in law and the latter had no objection to it.

"Mother-in-law? Oh my God! When did it happen?" Juan gaped at her sister-in-law.

"If I don't wish for a son in law, in place of a daughter-in-law , I better accept her as my daughter-in-law."

"Hahaha" Aria's laughter boomed in the room. Her mother called his playboy brother a gay?

Shit.

This was crazy.

"I'm sorry," she said between tears."But I can't control myself."

"Hmmph!"

Ming Jia was upset with her daughter. And they were still not on the speaking term.

"Of course, where can you look for a daughter-in-law like me? " Seeing Fan Bingbing's smug expression, Zhenyi had an urge to beat her up." Such a beautiful and awesome daughter-in-law.

"Dear friend, what do you say whose ass is to die for?" You dare to gawk at my husband? Last warning otherwise, I will pluck your pretty eyes." Zhenyi glared at Fang Bingbing.

"Come on, Zhenyi you're not a very reliable friend. I am just crazy for one. You can have your man. I'm not interested in him anyways ." Fan Bingbing pouted as she hid behind Ming Jia.

"You better remember," Zhenyi warned her.

"I see someone is possessive already." Ming Jia teased the bride.

"I'm a spoilt kid Godmaa. I don't like someone eyeing what's mine." Zhenyi groaned. Indeed, in just a few hours he would be legally hers. Or she could demand from him to get her name tattooed -- the property belongs to Xin Zhenyi.

'Hmmm....nice plan.'Zhenyi thought to herself.
