Chapitre 18: Family Heirloom
Lin Xiao Feng returned to the waiting area again and saw that the make-up artist was helping her to touch up her make-up.
Her lips parted slightly as she let the make-up artist apply her lipstick.
Lin Xiao Feng's eyes fell on An Nuan's lips for a long time. It felt as if something was stuck in his throat and he could not do anything to remove the discomfort.
Even from a distance, he could see that An Nuan's lips looked so red and moist.
In the past, he did not dare to look at An Nuan for a long time, worrying that he might not be able to suppress his feelings for her. But now... they were husband and wife. He should be able to stare at her for a while longer, right?
Just then, An Nuan raised her head and looked at him.
Her lips curled into a smile as their gazes met. The make-up artist took a step back when the bride moved, allowing her to speak. "You're here."
Lin Xiao Feng inhaled a deep breath to compose his thoughts before walking over to An Nuan's side. "Hmm... Did you have a good chat with your brother?"
An Nuan lowered her gaze. "It's alright. Where did you go just now?"
"I went to find Yu Han."
An Nuan sat up straight. "That's right. I have to thank him for his help today." She noticed that none of Pei Zhi Yi's family and friends were around during the wedding ceremony. Seeing that everything was moving so smoothly, An Nuan guessed that Zhang Yu Han had worked hard to help them.
"I already thanked him. You don't have to worry. Yu Han would not want others to make trouble at his hotel as well."
"Bride and groom, are you ready?" The wedding planner spoke after ending a phone call with her staff.
"I'm done." An Nuan stood up. She gave Lin Xiao Feng a lookover and smiled. "Do you think you need a little touch-up?"
Lin Xiao Feng was about to answer when the make-up planner urged him to sit down.
The bride looks so pretty in her wedding dress. They could not allow the groom to look so pale.
Fortunately, it did not take too long for the make-up artist to touch up Lin Xiao Feng's face.
His hair was styled, making him look younger.
He stood up rigidly, feeling a bit discomfort with his look.
An Nuan took a few steps back to look at the man.
Her gaze made Lin Xiao Feng fidget.
Lin Xiao Feng cleared her throat. "Do you think I look funny?"
"No. You looked alright." She stepped closer to Lin Xiao Feng. "It's just that..." She raised her hands to adjust Lin Xiao Feng's tie. "Your tie is a bit crooked."
Lin Xiao Feng held his breath realizing that An Nuan was so close to him. His hands at the sides balled to fists. Lin Xiao Feng waited until An Nuan had taken a few steps back before he finally released a breath of relief.
"Thank you." Lin Xiao Feng looked away and pretended to check his reflection in the mirror to calm down.
Now that his relationship with An Nuan was different, Lin Xiao Feng realized that it would be hard for him to control his feelings when An Nuan was around.
He made a mental reminder to stay calm.
An Nuan has just broken up with her ex. Whatever it is, he will have to be patient before he can let her know about his feelings. He did not want to scare An Nuan and cause her to run away.
He closed his eyes briefly before turning to An Nuan again. "We should go now." He stretched his hand and heaved in relief when An Nuan held his hand.
His heart was beating fast the moment her hand touched his.
Lin Xiao Feng was very careful not to squeeze her hand too tightly.
The bride and groom head to the wedding hall for their wedding banquet.
They were made to wait outside the hall before the host would announce their arrival.
Lin Xiao Feng glanced at their hands a few times, wondering if An Nuan would think that his hand was too clammy.
Although his expression showed indifference, Lin Xiao Feng was actually nervous to hold An Nuan's hand.
"Are you alright?"
An Nuan's voice made him look up again.
"You have been staring at my hand a few times," she pointed out.
Lin Xiao Feng coughed. He did not realize that An Nuan noticed his movement.
"It's nothing. Just that, I hoped that I wasn't squeezing your hand too tight."
"It's alright." An Nuan raised their hands and smiled. Her gaze then fell on the ring on her finger. Suddenly, An Nuan recalled how this ring had fit her finger perfectly.
"Lin Xiao Feng."
"Hmm?"
"I have been meaning to ask... where did you get this ring? I forgot to prepare a wedding ring and was surprised when you had prepared one."
Lin Xiao Feng followed An Nuan's line of gaze and saw that she was looking at their hands. His gaze turned softer as his eyes fell on the ring on An Nuan's finger.
"It was my mother's."
"Ah?" An Nuan's eyes widened in surprise. She had thought that perhaps Lin Xiao Feng had asked his friends to help him find a ring. She did not expect that the ring was loaned by his mother.
"This is Auntie's? Then, I better return it to her later."
"No need. You should keep this ring. My mother would want you to have this."
"Are you sure? I think this looked expensive."
"You can try to return it to her later. But I'm sure that she would not accept it."
An Nuan continued to look at her ring. Her experience as a jeweler told her that the ring was too valuable for her to accept.
An Nuan felt guilty for giving Lin Xiao Feng a ring that did not fit him well. After all, his ring was originally for Pei Zhi Yi.
What Lin Xiao Feng did not tell her was that the wedding ring was a family heirloom. It has been passed down for several generations in the Lin family. His mother had received that wedding ring from his grandmother when she married his father.
Now, the ring was passed down to An Nuan.
Coincidentally, the ring fit An Nuan's ring finger perfectly.
Lin Xiao Feng wanted to take this as a sign that the ring belonged to An Nuan.
