章節 12: Enter the Hall
"Bridesmaids, get ready," the wedding planner spoke. "The ceremony will begin in five minutes."
Ren Di watched as the wedding planner left to check on the bridesmaid. Her heart raced as she watched the people running around the hall, getting ready for the wedding.
A few minutes ago, Ren Di watched as Lin Xiao Feng entered the hall with his best man. She heard that An Nuan was planning to continue with the wedding and this time, with a different groom.
Ren Di knew well that An Nuan was angry that Pei Zhi Yi chose to leave on their important day.
However, she did not expect An Nuan would go crazy and said that she was going to marry anyone willing to be her groom.
She thought that An Nuan's parents would be able to talk some sense into her. Seeing that the wedding preparation continued, Ren Di guessed that they had failed.
Ren Di was getting worried.
As An Nuan's friend, she hoped that An Nuan would not do something she would regret later.
The sound of high heels made her turn around. A breath of relief escaped her upon seeing An Nuan walking over with a bouquet in her hand.
"Nuan Nuan." Ren Di rushed over to An Nuan's side and held her hand. She gave her friend a lookover and finally breathed in relief upon seeing that she was all alright.
"Ren Di, you're still here." An Nuan squeezed Ren Di's hand.
Ren Di heaved a long breath. "Where else should I go?" Her lips pursed into a thin line. "Nuan Nuan, what is going on? Are you sure you want to marry just like this?"
"Why not?" An Nuan flashed a smile that did not reach her eyes.
"I know that you are angry with Pei Zhi Yi. But An Nuan—"
"Ren Di, I want to end things with Pei Zhi Yi. I don't want to give him another chance."
"Then, just end your relationship with him," Ren Di said. "You don't need to marry someone else. Nuan Nuan, you don't have to do this. Let's go on a long holiday. We could travel around the world. I will accompany you. Nuan Nuan, you can do everything other than this."
"I want to." The light in her eyes dimmed. "Ren Di, I have given Pei Zhi Yi a lot of chances. I am tired. At this time, I don't care about marrying another person."
"You are hurting yourself by trying to hurt Pei Zhi Yi."
An Nuan looked away. She knew that Ren Di was right. But she had already given up on love. Whoever she married did not matter anymore. She just did not want to make her parents lose their faces. She did not want to let her family and friends worry about her.
"Ren Di, I know that you are worried about me but I will be fine." An Nuan tried to smile in assurance. "Lin Xiao Feng is a good person. This marriage... it might not be for love but we will be fine. We both have our reason to go through this wedding."
"Maid of honor, get ready. It will be your turn next."
The wedding planner's words made both of them look up.
An Nuan held Ren Di's hand. "Ren Di, I still need your help. Help me go through this wedding, alright? As my maid of honor?"
Ren Di stared into An Nuan's eyes for a long time. "Is there anything I can say to convince you that what you are doing is stupid?"
An Nuan merely smiled at her friend.
She hardened her heart the moment she watched Pei Zhi Yi walk into the elevator.
Since he dared to go find Sun Jiao, then she will marry another man just to cut him off her life.
An Nuan knew that her decision was reckless and foolish. However, she still will go through this wedding.
"Alright then." Ren Di heaved a long, heavy sigh. "But An Nuan, you have to know that whatever happens, I will still be around. You can always find me when you need me. If you want to get away, just call me. I will take you away."
An Nuan leaned over and pulled Ren Di into her embrace. "Thank you."
Ren Di looked up and saw that An Nuan's father was walking over. She patted her friend's shoulder a few times and smiled. "It seemed that your father is here to take you to your groom. An Nuan, I will meet you inside."
An Nuan pulled away and turned around. Her expression softened when she saw her father walking over. Looking at him made her realize that her father was getting older.
A lot of things happened today.
An Nuan was sure that her father was having a headache thinking about her marriage as well. He should be trouble when she announced that she will marry just anyone.
She suddenly wondered just how did Lin Xiao Feng convinced her father to continue this wedding.
After a while, her father finally stopped in front of her.
"Nuan Nuan..." An Qi held his daughter's hand and smiled.
"Dad..." An Nuan's nose turned sour.
She did not cry when Pei Zhi Yi left earlier. However, now that his father was in front of her, the tears that she had tried so hard to suppress began to roll down her cheek.
"Why are you crying?" An Qi hurriedly took out his handkerchief to dry the tears on his daughter's cheek. "You're going to ruin your makeup."
An Nuan laughed. She inhaled deeply as she tried to suppress her emotions.
The father and daughter stared at each other for a while.
An Qi hesitated briefly. "Nuan Nuan, are you sure that you want to go through this? There is still time. It is not too late for you to back off."
"Dad... I'm going to marry Lin Xiao Feng."
An Qi heaved a sigh. "I know."
"Dad, I will be fine."
"I know." An Qi nodded.
His expression turned complicated when he thought about his conversation with Lin Xiao Feng earlier. Before they parted, Lin Xiao Feng made him and his wife promise to keep their conversation a secret from An Nuan.
"Miss An, Mr. An, get ready," the wedding planner spoke as she came over. "You are going to enter the hall soon."
An Qi nodded to the wedding planner. He turned to his daughter and held her hand tighter. "Nuan Nuan, you have to be happy."
