"It's my engagent and I still have to stand here as a door god to welco the guests?" asked Shui Xian in dissatisfaction.
"I think it's really too much to ask Xian to do sothing like that," agreed Cloe as she ca over. She looked at Shui Xian and nodded her head, "Master Xian is looking handso."
Cui Xukun stepped over and blocked her view saying, "Babes, you look at instead."
"Really, Kun?" asked Cloe as her lips twitched.
"Yes, Really." Cui Xukun didn't want to risk it at all this ti around. He already lost his first love to Shui Xian, he didn't want to lose another one. Although he was very clear about Cloe, he still didn't want her to admire Shui Xian's looks. Then he looked at Shui Xian, "It's better if you stand inside. If you stayed to welco the guests, who know how many won you're gonna charm with that face of yours? And what if it started a fight? I think the safe option is to let you stay inside."
"I don't charm people," retorted Shui Xian.
"Yes, you do," said Cloe. "Are you forgetting that it's that face that really made Chief stay in the first place? I tell you, I went on all her blind dates with her. She had never been that accommodating to anyone as she was with you from the beginning. All because your face was to her liking. And you should know by now that when Raelle Xiang likes sothing, she can be patient and she can also put extra effort into getting that thing."
Zhai Yanjun chuckled softly, "Xian, I told you once that your face is gonna bring you trouble. I didn't think this face would beco your blessing."
Shui Xian laughed heartily at that. "My mom used to say that with this face, I'll get the world's best partner. I think she was right."
"She was always right, no?" asked Zhai Yanjun. "It's just that you're stubborn and rebellious enough to not take her words seriously."
"Are we really gonna have this conversation on this day?" asked Shui Xian as he turned to walk inside. "I'm going to the waiting room. There is no way, I'm gonna act as the door god for anyone. Apart from my Raelle, I refuse to wait for anyone else! No one can make wait for them here."
"Oh, really?"
Shui Xian stopped in his track when he heard that voice.
"You're not gonna wait for either?"
Shui Xian cursed under his breath and slowly turned around with a bright and flattering smile on his face as he looked at Mu Chenyan, "Yanyan, how can you be counted on everyone else? You are Mu Chenyan. Your status is different. I can wait as long as you want, for you."
"Lose that flattering smile," said Mu Chenyan as she entered the hall. She was dressed in a black dress with a golden lining. Seeing her dressed in a dress was a different experience. Usually, Mu Chenyan really avoided wearing dresses because it wasn't easy to fight in such clothes. But today, she really looked like the elegant lady that she always pretended to be in front of Raelle.
Her disposition was naturally noble and lofty.
"Yanyan, where is Raelle?" asked Shui Xian as he followed her.
Mu Chenyan was inspecting the arrangents and didn't want to really chit-chat but seeing the urgency on Shui Xian's face, she smiled at him teasingly, "How impatient are you, son-in-law?"
"How can I help it?" he asked in return. "They say one day without her is like three years. It's been so many hours since I haven't seen her. You know what that ans? It's like I haven't seen her for a year now."
Mu Chenyan laughed at that and patted his shoulder, "I suddenly feel like you're becoming more pleasing to my eyes. You're getting as dramatic as . I'm impressed."
"Oh, thanks," Shui Xian smiled shyly at her making her laugh deeper.
"Just so you know, she is already here," replied Mu Chenyan.
"Huh?" Shui Xian was dumbfounded when he heard that. "What? When? Where? How?"
"She ca with . Of course, I know. She entered through the side door so you didn't see her. She is in the waiting room."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Shui Xian complained and then ran away in a hurry.
Mu Chenyan looked at his hurried back and shook her head, "This guy wasn't a fool when I chose him for my Elle. How did he beco like this?" Rubbing her chin, she nodded, "It seems my Elle is very capable."
Mu Chenyan looked at the grand hall which was a dazzling sight right now. The sll of the fresh flowers lingered in the air but it wasn't overpowering. She walked around the hall inspecting every single detail carefully. She walked through all the tables and then went to see the food arrangents.
She was walking through the corridor when she saw Xia Zhao walking over with a few people following him. He stood at the front with a solemn expression. His steps seed unhurried but the people behind him seed to be struggling to keep up with his pace. For a mont, Mu Chenyan didn't look away.
Xia Zhao also looked at Mu Chenyan and stopped in his steps. A man behind him wiped the sweat from his forehead subtly when Xia Zhao stopped walking. The n behind him looked at Xia Zhao who inexplicably stopped and then followed his gaze. When they saw Mu Chenyan on the other side of the corridor.
Then they saw his lips slowly curling up and they inexplicably took a step back.
Xia Zhao walked towards Mu Chenyan and ca to stand before her, "Yanzi!"
Mu Chenyan narrowed her eyes at him as she said, "It's not the ti for the engagent party to begin yet. Aren't you here early?"
Xia Zhao paused and touched the tip of his nose before saying, "I guess I am early."
