Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 598: Preparation for the 596th Wedding_1
Chapter 598: Preparation for the 596th Wedding_1
Lu Zhizhou has been seen as gentle and generous from childhood; it was truly difficult for her to break from this image now.
Lu Qingyi nodded, "Alright."
"Let’s chat."
Lu Zhizhou handed the milk to Lu Qingyi and said with a gentle voice.
Lu Qingyi couldn’t sleep, and truthfully, neither could she.
She hasn’t slept for days, all because of He Chenguang. Although Lu Mojing didn’t object to their relationship, he downright disallowed them from getting married.
To put it bluntly, Lu Mojing looked down on He Chenguang.
They chatted from the south to the north, about all sorts of things. The two sisters hadn’t had such long conversations before, candidly sharing whatever came to their minds.
"Although your childhood was tough, I am envious. You had a grandmother who wholeheartedly cared for you."
Lu Zhizhou looked sideways at Lu Qingyi, her voice soft and gentle, but her smile slightly tinged with irony.
Night had fallen deeply, and Lu Qingyi had fallen asleep unconsciously.
Lu Zhizhou looked at Lu Qingyi’s sleeping face, and slowly smiled.
"I only had a father who wanted to shape the perfect daughter..."
Despite knowing that Lu Qingyi was asleep, Lu Zhizhou continued talking.
Yes, if she could, she would rather live Lu Qingyi’s life, where at least there were people who genuinely loved and cared for her.
While she was indeed well off since childhood, her father’s love for her was more about using her as a face-saving piece.
"Good night, I’m really lucky to have a sister like you."
A faint smile hung on Lu Zhizhou’s lips as she gazed at Lu Qingyi’s sleeping face. Before she knew it, she too fell asleep.
——
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Lu Qingyi woke up, and with her, so did Lu Zhizhou.
"It’s the first and probably the last time we’ll sleep on the same bed."
Lu Zhizhou quipped as she looked at Lu Qingyi.
Indeed, before the wedding, Lu Qingyi was always Xu Boyan’s. After the wedding, she’d be even more so Xu Boyan’s.
Right now, she was merely taking advantage of the gap before Lu Qingyi returned home from her wedding preparations, and having a late-night talk with Lu Qingyi.
She guessed there probably wouldn’t be another chance after this.
Lu Qingyi chuckled lightly, "Not likely."
"Get up and freshen up, the makeup artist will be here soon."
Lu Zhizhou urged Lu Qingyi. Dressing and makeup would take a lot of time, and it was currently 5:30 in the morning.
Xu Boyan would be over to pick her up at 8 o’clock.
The Lu Mansion was bustling from early in the morning, festive and joyful even before the break of day.
Lu Mohai couldn’t sleep at all, rising even earlier than Lu Qingyi, pacing back and forth in the living room with hands behind his back.
His daughter was getting married and he was incredibly nervous. Even though Xu Boyan and Lu Qingyi had already been living together, the feeling of a wedding was different.
Li Xiyi arrived early in the morning, hurried and flustered, her blonde hair in big waves.
"Good morning, uncle."
After greeting Lu Mohai, Li Xiyi rushed into Lu Qingyi’s room. She was the maid of honor today.
"I thought I had overslept."
Li Xiyi patted her chest, saying she had been rushing over to the Lu Mansion early in the morning.
Lu Qingyi was sitting in front of the vanity mirror, with the makeup artist doing her makeup.
Lu Qingyi said, "It’s not even six o’clock yet."
"How many bridesmaids?"
Li Xiyi sat down carefree-ly and asked casually.
Lu Zhizhou answered for Lu Qingyi, "Six."
"You’re Qingyi’s sister, right? You’re really pretty and gentle."
Li Xiyi’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Zhizhou.
Hmm, probably because the genes in Lu Qingyi’s family were strong; the members of Lu Mohai’s family were all rather attractive.
"Thank you for the compliment, just call me Zhizhou."
The smile on Lu Zhizhou’s lips was faint, very gentle.
One after another, Luo Jia, Jiang Yumeng, Tang Yaxin, Li Xianya, and others arrived, not even seven o’clock yet.
Lu Qingyi’s bridesmaids’ group consisted of six people: Li Xiyi, Luo Jia, Jiang Yumeng, Tang Yaxin, Li Xianya, and Lu Zhizhou. Exactly six people, all of whom had good relationships and were considered friends by Lu Qingyi.
"This bridesmaid dress is really pretty."
Jiang Yumeng held the bridesmaid dress in her arms, her eyes glowed. It was indeed beautiful.
In beautiful light pink.
"In the future, let Xun Hanyu prepare a wedding dress for you that is even more beautiful than this one."
Luo Jia playfully said to Jiang Yumeng.
"Qingyi is really beautiful, just like a fairy descending to earth."
Li Xianya admired Lu Qingyi.
"Indeed, Qingyi is a real fairy."
Li Xiyi raised an eyebrow, lightly patted Lu Qingyi’s shoulder and said.
From the first time she saw Lu Qingyi, she thought she was a fairy, truly beautiful, and the more she looked, the more beautiful Qingyi became.
The bridesmaids chattered and discussed Lu Qingyi, all their words were full of compliments for her.
There was no way around it, who could help that Lu Qingyi’s beauty was natural?
"This wedding could arguably be the grandest in Kyoto, without a doubt."
Li Xianya propped her chin and said. They had all come from school or home early this morning, and they could clearly see the scene of the overflowing outside decorations.
The road for the wedding procession had been completely cleared. Nothing was allowed to be placed at the door of the shops, and the sides of the street were filled with roses in the shape of hearts.
White, pink, red, blue, yellow - all kinds of colors were there, very pleasing to the eye.
Banners, fresh flowers, and lanterns were hung on the shops lining both sides of the street. Everywhere they could use was filled with festive vibes.
Counting the cost of these flowers was terrifyingly high.
Not to mention other expenses.
"Lord Xu’s wedding in Kyoto is, naturally, the grandest."
Lu Zhizhou objectively commented, Xu Boyan’s wedding would certainly be the talk of the town.
"Look at who Xu Boyan is marrying. My sister Qingyi may lack other things, but she definitely doesn’t lack money and status."
Li Xiyi joked with a smile. Indeed, Lu Qingyi lacks neither money nor status.
Casually flaunting a little status was enough to make others look up to her.
"The jewelry set was auctioned off for over two billion. I don’t know how much it’s appreciated now, probably several times."
Tang Yaxin, with keen eyes, spotted the jewelry set on Lu Qingyi’s dressing table. The necklace, bracelet, earrings, headwear - the whole set was priceless.
And the jewelry Lu Qingyi was wearing today was just that set.
"Damn, money I won’t be able to earn in my entire lifetime."
"The wealthy are really different."
"I don’t dare touch it, it all smells of money."
"I’m afraid I can’t afford it if I break something."
Luo Jia, Jiang Yumeng, and Li Xianya were left speechless watching the jewelry set Tang Yaxin pointed out, feeling a pang of jealousy in their hearts.
Such a lot of money.
By the time they finished with the makeup and put on the wedding dress, it was just half past seven, half an hour away from eight.
The six bridesmaids hid Lu Qingyi’s high heels and chatted while waiting for Xu Boyan to arrive.
They were discussing ideas on how to prank the groomsmen. Xu Boyan was highly respected in daily life, and no one would dare mess with him. However, today was an opportunity they were determined to seize.
