Rebirth from the Ashes

Chapter 790 Wedding Of The Century (3)

The Songs knew their position in their daughter's life. Looking into Song Wenye's eyes with guilt, her parents let out a forceful smile and walked away.

Song Wenye cried, "Grandpa, Grandpa! Come here."

The heartbreaking and upsetting situation left Old Man Song without a word. He approached his smiling granddaughter. "It's only appropriate for the parents to stay with you on this special occasion."

"I don't care whether it's appropriate. I want you, Grandpa." Etiquette or tradition was the last thing on Song Wenye's mind. "I'm getting married today. It's my day, so whatever I say, goes."

"Okay. You're the boss." Old Man Song grinned from ear to ear.

Never mind. It was high time Song Wenye's parents got a taste of their own medicine for leaving their kid out to dry. What kind of parents would have children and not take care of them?

Everyone was gathered.

The parents walked down the aisle alongside the brides.

Shen Zhangqing and Yun Jinping were by Shen Xi's side.

Fu Junqiu was accompanied by Fu Handing and Shangguan Yanqiu.

Shen Tang was with her parents.

Song Wenye was in the company of Old Man Song and Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin thought it was improper at first since Song Wenye's parents were there. Yet, instead of Song Wenye's parents, she was the one walking the latter down the aisle. It was a bit of a slap in the cheek to Song Wenye's parents.

Nevertheless, it was no big deal the more Jiang Yin thought about it. Of course, she was going to heed Lil' Ye's call. Regardless of what others had to judge and say, Lil' Ye would have included her parents in the biggest moment of her life if they were good parents, to begin with.

Shen Zhangqing's eyes welled up. He did not feel much emotions moments ago because he had been preparing himself for this moment. However, his feelings got the better of him when he gave his daughter's hand away to another man.

He could only hope that his daughter would always be happy. There was nothing more he would ask for in life.

Yun Jinping squeezed Shen Xi's hand while wiping her tears. Yun Jinping's voice was also hoarse. "Why the tears? Don't cry. I'll cry if you cry."

Her child had always put on a brave face. Yun Jinping had never seen her cry, yet Xixi was shedding tears on this joyous occasion.

Refusing to admit that she was the one bawling, Shen Xi looked back at Fu Qingxuan. "Stop crying. My makeup's running."

For some reason or perhaps caught in the moment, she could not seem to stop these tears from falling. There goes her makeup.

Wiping his tears as well, Fu Qingxuan had never been so wronged. He was not bawling, but she was. He could not believe she was framing him on her wedding day.

Still, Fu Qingxuan was going to let the matter slide since it was her big day. Fine, he would take one for the team and admit he was the crybaby.

The wedding march playing in the background commanded solemnity in the wedding hall. All guests watched the main stars, bearing only their sincerest blessings.

Li Yuan stood down the hall as he looked at his fair lady striding toward him with her parents by her sides. He was actually feeling nervous.

She was inching closer to him. Her face had been etched on his mind, body, and soul since a long time ago. Li Yuan could trace every single detail of her features without looking at her.

Shen Xi was like a fallen angel in her white dress. As she smiled, her eyes carried no hubbub of the mortal world. All that was left was her and only her.

Li Yuan's heart was filled with joy, overflowing with an intoxicating love when their hands met.

The applause thundered the room as the couples exchanged vows, promises of eternal love, exchanged rings, and shared a kiss.

The shower of petals over the couple depicted the most beautiful painting in the world. The picture was one to be in awe and envious of.

The beautiful, emotional, and moving scene stirred happy tears among the crowd.

After the wedding ended, it was time for a change of clothes and onto the toast.

It was just past five in the evening by the time the ceremony was over.

Shen Xi was too exhausted to lift a finger. Unable to be bothered to take off her wedding gown, she lay in bed without any strength left. A wedding was too much to take.

It was dark outside when Li Yuan returned. Looking at the girl who was asleep in her gown, he frowned and checked on the room thermometer. It was a good thing the temperature was just right, or she would have caught a cold wearing that to bed.

Knackered, Shen Xi snored in her deep slumber. There was something adorable about her even though she looked messy without a change of clothes or wash-up.

Li Yuan sat by her and bobbed her nose while tenderly murmuring, "Mrs. Li, it's time to get up to eat."

Everyone was waiting out there. Shen Xi was the only one who came back for a nap while the others were working their *ss off outside. Aunt Junqiu, in particular, was a ball of energy. She took a quick moment to freshen up and change into something simpler before getting down to bossing people to clear the stuff away.

Shen Xi whimpered and rubbed her nose before flipping over to return to dreamland.

Li Yuan drew close and muttered in her ear. "Aren't you hungry? Mom made your favorite coconut chicken."

Hearing the words "coconut chicken" while in a daze, Shen Xi squinted her eyes and slipped her delicate arm around his neck before nuzzling into it. "Hmm… Hugs."

Li Yuan carried her to the bathroom.

Shen Xi only came around when her clothes were taken off. She looked at Li Yuan confusedly. "I thought we're to eat? Are we doing it now?"

Their wedding night should not be in the bathroom!

"Bath, dinner, and then our wedding night." Li Yuan had it all covered. He placed the girl into the bath he had run.

Shen Xi curled her toes and sighed in pleasure. Relaxing in the bathtub, she flirted, "Hubby, bathe me."

Li Yuan looked intently at his fair lady. His breath turned ragged with an underlying upsurge of an animal drive as he washed her.

It took a lot out of him to hold back.

Nevertheless, the bathing made the girl wide awake. She began to play with fire, tempting and pushing him to the edge. At last, he could no longer keep the beast within.

In his arms, Shen Xi smirked for getting her way. However, tragedy struck next. She gagged and dropped her head to retch.

The fire spurring in Li Yuan was put out. Since she was his priority, Li Yuan nervously grabbed the girl's arm and his voice pierced the room. "What's wrong? Do you feel sick?"
