writer:Imperial Songs      update:2022-08-15 16:38
  This wedding dress that Qiao Jiusheng had worn was the new design that Lazaro, a famous wedding dress brand in Country A, had just released this year.

  The handmade heavy-duty strapless wedding dress had high-grade lace fabric on the chest and a silver diamond-studded bow at the waist. The overlapping trailing skirt made Qiao Jiusheng look beautiful and pure.

  Fang Yusheng’s right hand was wrapped in bandages, so he could not carry her.

  Wei Xin suggested for Fang Yusheng to carry her on his back.

  However, the gown’s hem was too long, and it was not easy to carry her on the back. In the end, Qiao Jiusheng followed Fang Yusheng downstairs.

  In the car, Qiao Jiusheng rubbed her stomach and said, “I woke up too early this morning and only ate some cake. I’m hungry again.”


  Fang Yusheng brought her fair fingers to his mouth and kissed them. He patiently comforted her. “After the ceremony ends, we’ll go and eat something before going out to greet the guests.” Qiao Jiusheng was satisfied with his arrangement.

  Fang Yusheng touched her stomach and asked with a smile, “Are they obedient today?”


  Qiao Jiusheng nodded.

  “Four weeks makes a month. It’ll be three months tomorrow. I don’t feel like vomiting anymore. If I go for an ultrasound in a few days, I’ll definitely be able to see the babies take shape.” Qiao Jiusheng touched her stomach and felt even hungrier. “I’m starving.”


  Qiao Jiusheng grabbed Fang Yusheng’s hand and looked conflicted. “I feel terrible when I’m hungry. I feel nauseous yet there’s nothing to vomit.”


  Fang Yusheng saw that Qiao Jiusheng was really uncomfortable. He looked up outside. Coincidentally, there was a row of shops in front of them. He told the driver, “Stop the car in front.”


  The chauffeur subconsciously said, “Sir, you don’t park during the bridal escort…”


  “I said stop the car.”


  “Fine!”


  The car stopped in front of the shop.

  Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng got out of the car.

  Qiao Jiusheng walked in the front while Fang Yusheng walked behind her. He carried Qiao Jiusheng’s wedding dress and walked toward the shop. Seeing them, Wei Xin and the rest got out of the car as well. Wei Xin shouted at Qiao Jiusheng, “Xiao Sheng, what are you guys doing?”


  Qiao Jiusheng replied, “Eating.”


  Everyone: “…”


  The people in the small breakfast hall were greeted by a pair of new people in wedding dresses and suits.

  The bride had worn flat shoes while the groom had a bandage on his right hand. Their exquisite and outstanding appearance was eye-catching.

  The roomful of people just stared at them.

  The lady boss was stunned for a moment. She then reacted and said, “Aiyo, our shop has been open for more than ten years, but this is the first time we’ve received a bride and groom. Quick, quick, sit inside!” The shopkeeper was all for good luck. Since it was a new couple, the lady boss did not charge them.

  “I’ll treat you guys to this meal. It won’t cost anything, but it’ll bring us joy.”


  Qiao Jiusheng did not stand on ceremony with the lady boss and ordered a steamer of buns and a cup of soy milk.

  Fang Yusheng ordered a bowl of chicken soup noodles and a cup of soy milk.

  After seeing that the bride and groom had gone to eat breakfast, the bridal escort and escorts walked into the restaurant. The room was full.

  The boss did not accept money from the couple, but she still accepted money from others.

  When they were done with the meal and left, it was already 10: 20 pm. It was getting closer and closer to the time of the wedding. Qiao Jiusheng still had to change her clothes, so she was a little rushed. For the rest of the journey, the chauffeur drove rather quickly.

  Sitting in the car, Qiao Jiusheng touched her stomach and revealed a look of enjoyment.

  “It feels so good to be full.”


  She leaned against the back of the car and narrowed her eyes like a cat.

  The sun was very bright. It was a hot summer in July. The time was past ten in the morning, and the weather was scorching. Fang Yusheng saw that the sun was too intense and changed seats with Qiao Jiusheng. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the Empire Hotel, Qiao Jiusheng suddenly said, “Last year, I met you this month.”


  Today was August 29th in the Gregorian Calendar and July 29 in the lunar calendar. The day Qiao Jiusheng had met Fang Yusheng was the seventh of July last year.

  Fang Yusheng could not help but recall their meeting.

  He revealed a rare vexed expression. “If I had known earlier that I would marry you a year later, I wouldn’t have hit you no matter what I said back then.” He thought of the two times he had whipped Qiao Jiusheng and felt pity for her.

  At this point, Qiao Jiusheng could not help but snort.

  “Of course! A year ago, who told me that Young Master Fang is as pure as ice and cannot be touched or remembered?” Qiao Jiusheng snorted and sarcastically laughed. “What about now? I won’t touch you, but it’s your turn to shamelessly touch me.”


  She thought of something else and smiled even more sarcastically. “Who was it again? It’s clear that you don’t have to dress like a bear. I’m not attracted to beauty.” Qiao Jiusheng shook her head and clicked her tongue. Every word she said was a slap to Fang Yusheng’s face.

  Fang Yusheng listened and pretended not to know who that person was.

  Seeing that he was acting dumb, Qiao Jiusheng stopped talking.

  Finally, they could see the Empire Hotel.

  The car stopped at the hotel’s door. Some of their relatives and close friends were waiting at the front door. When they saw the incoming car, they quickly raised their hand flowers and prepared for them to get out of the car.

  Fang Yusheng got out of the car and stretched out a hand to Qiao Jiusheng.

  Qiao Jiusheng grabbed the hand and got out of the car.

  Standing beside Fang Yusheng, Qiao Jiusheng looked up at the tall door of the Empire Hotel above her and felt melancholic.

  Due to her experience in her previous life, Qiao Jiusheng could not remember the agreement she made with Fang Mu back then. She could only remember one thing—


  They were going to hold a wedding at the Empire Hotel.

  She had been reborn in March last year and happened to witness the glorious scene of Fang Mu marrying Qiao Jiuyin in May.

  She did not expect that a year later, she would also put on a white veil, about to cross this threshold.

  After all the twists and turns, her wish from back then had still come true.

  The only difference was that the person standing beside her had become Fang Yusheng.

  From the day she had met Fang Yusheng, Qiao Jiusheng’s future had become completely different.

  “They have alighted!”


  “Quick! Prepare the flowers!”


  The fireworks exploded. Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng walked into the hotel lobby amidst the laughter of the crowd. Then, they took the elevator to their room.

  Wei Xin and her two assistants quickly helped Qiao Jiusheng change.

  Qiao Jiusheng put on the wedding gown Wei Xin had designed for her. Her bare feet stepped on the thick white carpet. Just as she was hesitating whether she should wear high heels or flat shoes, a knock rang on the door. Wei Xin handed her the flat shoes and said, “Wear this. You’re tired today. Wear this, and you’ll feel more comfortable.”


  “Okay.”


  Wei Xin turned around to open the door.

  When she returned, Ji Qing was behind her.

  Ji Qing was dressed in a rose-red A-standard gown. She was beautiful, gentle, and magnanimous. With a luxurious light gold jewelry box in her hands, Ji Qing walked in front of Qiao Jiusheng and sized her up. She could not help but shout, “Xiao Sheng.”


  Qiao Jiusheng was a little helpless.

  Her throat rolled, and Qiao Jiusheng stabilized her emotions. Then, she asked Ji Qing with a smile, “Although Second Brother and Jiusheng have already divorced, I still want to be like before and call you Sister-in-law Qiao. Is that okay?”


  Ji Qing nodded. “Of course.”


  Even though they knew each other’s thoughts, they rationally chose to play dumb.

  Qiao Jiusheng hugged Ji Qing and said softly, “Sister-in-law, I’m very happy that you can attend my wedding.”


  Ji Qing patted her shoulder and said, “Originally, Grandpa wanted to come and visit you, but his health is getting worse and worse, so it’s inconvenient for him to rush around.”


  “If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll visit Grandfather.”


  When people who did not know the situation saw this scene, they were surprised. Why was the wife of the First Young Master of the Fang family so harmonious with the maternal family of the Second Young Master of the Fang family? Only Wei Xin, who knew the inside story, felt her nose sting when she saw this scene.

  She could not help but think of the vicious things Qiao Jiuyin had done to Qiao Jiusheng.

  The more she thought about it, the more she hated Qiao Jiuyin.

  “Alright, quickly dress up. It’s almost time.”


  “Yeah.”


  Ji Qing opened the box and saw Qiao Jiusheng sitting on the dressing stool. She walked over and placed the box on the dressing table. Ji Qing said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Let me put this crown on you.” It was an unwritten rule of the Qiao family for their daughters to have the elder the family respected the most, put the crown on them.

  Qiao Jiusheng quickly lowered her head.

  Ji Qing carefully placed the gorgeous crown embedded with pear-shaped purple gemstones on Qiao Jiusheng’s head.

  After putting it on, she deeply looked at Qiao Jiusheng and sincerely said, “Blessing everyone who loves sincerely for the coronation of love.”


  “Thank you!”


  After accepting Ji Qing’s blessing, Qiao Jiusheng got up and went to the top floor with Wei Xin.

  ***

  Although Fang Yusheng had sent a harsh message, many people still attended the wedding on the 29th.

  No man at the venue wore white suits or sapphire blue suits. They did not dare to match colors with Fang Yusheng. Fang Yusheng was handsome enough to commit crimes with his beauty and get forgiven by the police. They could not compare to him.

  As for the ladies who came to the wedding banquet, they wore sapphire blue and white gowns.

  Women were all very competitive. No one admitted that they were inferior to Qiao Jiusheng.

  Many people who had seen Qiao Jiusheng before would admit that she was a woman with both temperament and beauty. However, her beauty was not as domineering as Fang Yusheng’s handsomeness. Qiao Jiusheng’s beauty was delicate and beautiful with internal beauty. She did not exude beauty, so many women had confidence in themselves.

  They did not believe that Qiao Jiusheng could defeat them.

  Fang Yusheng had received a British education since he was a child. Although he was not a Christian, he had hired a priest to preside over the wedding for them. He stood in front of the sacred platform and remained upright even though he was still injured.

  When someone said that the bride had arrived, the guests silently put away their phones and looked up at the entrance.

  At this moment, the scene was really silent.

  The door opened and Qiao Jiusheng, in her sexy wedding dress, an angel veil, and a crown on her head, walked in with a pair of flat shoes embedded with diamonds.

  Her seven-pointed, delicate, and charming appearance contrasted with her sexy wedding dress.

  When someone saw the crown on Qiao Jiusheng’s head and the necklace on her neck, their mouths fell open.

  Fang Mu also looked at Qiao Jiusheng. When his gaze landed on the crown on Qiao Jiusheng’s head, a sentence suddenly rang in his mind!

  Fang Mu looked at the graceful figure that was getting closer and closer. His vision became a little blurry…


  Fang Yusheng stood at the end and waited for Qiao Jiusheng. His gaze toward Qiao Jiusheng was the most fervent, focused, and sincere of everyone present there.

  Soon, Fang Yusheng and Qiao Jiusheng exchanged vows and rings under the priest’s witness.

  Qi Bufan and Wei Xin each presented a black ring. The ring was simple with a golden arc inside, and in the middle of the ring were two rose-red gems. The male ring was slightly larger, and the female ring was more exquisite.

  Fang Yusheng put the ring on Qiao Jiusheng’s finger. When he let go, he kissed her finger.

  Qiao Jiusheng also put the ring on him.

  The priest announced the completion of the ceremony. At this moment, without waiting for the people below to jeer, Fang Yusheng pulled Qiao Jiusheng into his embrace with his left hand and lowered his head to kiss her.

  Qiao Jiusheng had worn flats. She had to put her hand on Fang Yusheng’s neck and stand on her toes to sweetly kiss him.

  At the same time, a gentle and pleasant woman’s voice resounded in the hall—


  Woke – Up – This – Morning – Just – Sat – In My Bed

  Eight – a.m. – First – Thing – In – My – Head

  Is – A – Certain – Someone – Who’s – Always – On – My – Mind…


  The moment he heard the music, Fang Mu sat there motionless as if he had been cursed.

  Beside his ears was the deafening applause of the guests.

  Fang Mu’s thoughts were pulled back to reality by the noisy applause. He looked at the two people kissing on the stage, and his gaze landed on the bride’s face. His face was filled with disbelief.

  “Impossible…”


  No one could hear his murmurs.
