After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 79
August 28th.
A good day for marriage.
The wedding was rushed, so naturally, they couldn’t choose a venue like an island.
However, Xia’s mother didn’t take it lightly. She chose the best hotel in the city, had a large number of fresh flowers airlifted in advance for decoration, and security guards stood on the perimeter to prevent unrelated people from entering.
Xia Shishi was surrounded by the wedding planning team, busy as a bee.
She watched the makeup artist patting her face rapidly with a powder puff, thinking to herself that this woman’s technique was good, but her face hurt a little.
Fortunately, only the foundation application was like this. The makeup artist’s hand became much gentler afterward. As the eyeshadow was applied, Xia Shishi began to think about Wen Jiao.
She wondered if Wen Jiao was also being patted rapidly.
What kind of expression would Wen Jiao show after being patted rapidly; would she look confused?
Xia’s mother, who had already finished her makeup, came in from outside and saw her daughter’s eyes curved into crescent moons, her gaze lively, assuming she was happy.
She still remembered the scene before the engagement banquet ended, when her daughter hugged her and cried, saying she only wanted to be with Wen Jiao.
In the blink of an eye, the wedding arrived, and her wish came true. The two officially entered the marriage hall, to accompany each other for life from now on.
“Don’t smile yet, you’re having your makeup done,” Xia’s mother lovingly went over to hold her daughter’s hand, admiring her precious daughter who had grown up under her watch—that face was so beautiful that she was reluctant to marry her off.
Xia’s mother’s mindset also underwent a huge change.
She used to only think about letting her daughter marry Wen Jiao, so she could be well taken care of by Wen Jiao, which would put her and her husband at ease.
But when her daughter truly grew up, all the complex feelings and thousands of words she wanted to say turned into a sigh.
She felt like backing out.
Xia’s mother squeezed her daughter’s hand: “Have you really thought this through?”
Xia Shishi exaggeratedly widened her eyes: “Mom, what are you talking about? How can you advise me to back out?”
Xia’s mother smiled bitterly: “Who would have thought you’d be so eager.”
It was Xia Shishi who previously said she wouldn’t marry and wanted her to back out.
Xia’s mother sat down: “My daughter is so pretty. How can her features be so delicate? She looks like a little princess, so beautiful!”
Xia Shishi felt awkward: “Mom, you’re exaggerating.”
The makeup artist’s hands were shaking slightly from laughter.
In this era where the same-sex marriage law had just passed and public opinion had not completely changed, this wedding was not held with high fanfare, not just because it was rushed.
Neither of them invited bridesmaids, and many procedures were simplified.
The only thing that couldn’t be skipped was the part where Xia Shishi’s parents would accompany her down the aisle.
The rest of her life would be with her and Wen Jiao.
Xia Shishi put down her veil. The white wedding dress shimmered with subtle light under the sun. It was the special silk thread used for the dress, possessing the most unique beauty.
Xia’s mother held Xia Shishi’s hand. They had practiced the route at the hotel yesterday.
Even a boisterous person like Xia Shishi felt nervous at this moment. She took a deep breath and looked toward the other side.
It was her beloved.
Wen Jiao had also changed into a matching wedding dress and was sitting in a wheelchair, a smile always on her face. When she looked toward Xia Shishi, her dark eyes curved, filled with the same joyful happiness as Xia Shishi’s.
So Xia Shishi wasn’t so nervous anymore. She responded with an even brighter smile. Although there were many family members and guests at the venue, they seemed to only see each other. Xia Shishi even cheekily stuck out her tongue before seriously turning to Xia’s mother, pretending to have a reluctant conversation.
Xia’s mother saw all of their little actions. She laughed: “Just thinking you’ve grown up, and then you turn around and still act like a child.”
Xia Shishi: “I’m reluctant to leave you, Mom, muamua~”
The music started, and the emcee invited Xia Shishi onto the stage.
Supported by Xia’s mother, Xia Shishi slowly walked up the steps. At the end of the steps, her future, Wen Jiao, was waiting for her.
Wen Jiao sat patiently in the wheelchair, waiting for her to come over.
The meticulously dressed Wen Jiao exuded elegance and refinement in every detail. Her hands were folded on her lap, like a carefully drawn dream, tasting sweet all over.
Many influential figures were among the guests, most of whom were Old Master Wen’s former friends.
At this moment, a group of people were evaluating Wen Jiao, believing that this woman had unlimited prospects.
Whether it was flattery or not, Old Master Wen was very happy.
As the music reached its most emotional peak, Xia Shishi finally reached Wen Jiao. Her eyes were already moist: “Jiaojiao, I’m here.”
Wen Jiao looked at her with a smile and extended her hand.
Xia Shishi took it.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Wen Jiao stood up from the wheelchair. Those who didn’t know that Wen Jiao had received treatment in the capital city widened their eyes at this moment. This scene was so much like a miracle of marriage that it left everyone with nothing but emotion.
The standing Wen Jiao was beautiful, with an outstanding figure. Her expression was not showy, and her subtly smiling face was radiant.
The hand she held was smooth and tight, full of strength.
From now on, she became Xia Shishi’s greatest support.
Unfortunately, just standing up took all of Wen Jiao’s strength. She couldn’t walk a few steps with Xia Shishi, so she could only wait at the finish line.
Waiting for Xia Shishi to come over step by step.
“You worked hard,” Wen Jiao hugged Xia Shishi, “Let me handle the efforts from now on.”
The music slowed down, and Wen Jiao’s eyes were filled with endless tenderness.
As everyone was moved, Xia Shishi looked up and smiled with pursed lips.
After the emcee said a few words of testimony, it was time for the exchange of wedding rings.
Wen Jiao took out the ring she had prepared for a long time and finally had the chance to give, carefully and wholeheartedly placing it on Xia Shishi’s ring finger. Feeling a new weight on her hand, Xia Shishi also took out the ring she had prepared.
Xia Shishi seemed a little nervous: “It might not be perfect.”
Wen Jiao understood: “It’s already very good. There’s a chance to modify it later.”
From the rush order until now, many details naturally couldn’t be perfected, but neither of them was willing to wait any longer, and the designer was also helpless.
But there was still plenty of time. After the wedding, they would slowly adjust it, making it the best ring.
Xia Shishi spent several million for this ring.
It was indeed not the final version, just taken out to be used in advance. Since there were no reporters present, and the photographer had been instructed in advance not to take close-ups, there would be no giveaway.
Xia Shishi chuckled: “We are simply ignoring minor details.”
Wen Jiao: “Yes.”
It was Xia Shishi’s turn to put the ring on Wen Jiao. After exchanging the rings, all that was left was the kiss of eternal love.
They were going to embrace and kiss sweetly at this moment.
Xia Shishi had been thinking about this for a long time. As soon as the emcee finished speaking, she pounced on Wen Jiao and started kissing without waiting for her reaction. She was not shy at all, and the kiss lasted for a very, very long time.
It was because the emcee, to liven up the atmosphere, said that the longer the kiss, the sweeter their life together would be.
So Wen Jiao slowly wrapped her arms around Xia Shishi’s waist. They stood together, embracing and kissing each other.
It didn’t matter how warm the applause was below the stage; what mattered was that they were finally officially together.
Because Wen Jiao still couldn’t walk, and pushing the wheelchair to toast would take a lot of time, they simply skipped the newlyweds’ toast and let both sets of parents go to thank the attending guests one by one.
Those who were willing to attend were giving face to their two families, so they naturally had to be properly thanked.
Xia Shishi and Wen Jiao thus naturally hid in the back.
Wen Jiao was removing her makeup. She wasn’t suitable for makeup right now. Even though the cosmetics used were specially formulated by Xia Shishi, it was best not to leave them on her face for too long. The makeup-free Wen Jiao was the familiar lover to Xia Shishi, which made her happy to hug and kiss her a few more times: “You look beautiful even without makeup.”
The kiss rubbed some of the makeup onto her face.
Wen Jiao could only remove her makeup again.
Ye Murou came in and saw this scene. Her face flushed, and she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet. She felt awkward, as if she shouldn’t have come to disturb the two newlyweds right now.
Xia Shishi sat down: “It’s okay, it’s okay, come in.”
Zhou Xiaojiang also came in from outside.
Xia Shishi suddenly remembered, oh right, Ye Murou was now the person she arranged to be by Zhou Xiaojiang’s side. It was best to pretend not to know her.
As Xia Shishi’s friend in name, Zhou Xiaojiang had to attend this wedding.
Wen Jiao glanced over there but didn’t say anything.
Whatever Xia Shishi thought, she just let her do it.
Wen Jiao only felt that Xia Shishi’s expression towards these two people was very much like.
“She and I are fake friends, you and I are real.”
Wen Jiao also thought it was quite amusing.
The two ‘fake friends’ walked together. Xia Shishi nodded at her with satisfaction: “You finally gave up on dating.”
No one from Fu Yunhan’s side, including Fu Yunhan herself, was at this wedding.
At the engagement banquet, Zhou Xiaojiang was an unknown actress who could only attend because of Fu Yunhan, but now she could attend alone under the guise of being Xia Shishi’s friend.
When this news got out, many directors would likely contact her.
As a future cash cow, Xia Shishi didn’t mind being ‘fake friends’ with Zhou Xiaojiang, but while she gave benefits, she would also completely block all of Zhou Xiaojiang’s other paths.
Hence, that sentence was full of countless hints.
Having been psychologically manipulated by Xia Shishi for a long time, the dating-for-career Zhou Xiaojiang’s first reaction to this sentence was actually: “I can watch you two be affectionate.”
Xia Shishi: “…”
Did their roles seem to have reversed?
Hehe.
Xia Shishi was secretly delighted. She won, she won. Sure enough, this path was easier.
She coughed twice: “How much longer do you have left to film this drama?”
Zhou Xiaojiang was also concerned about this matter: “The filming time is about two more months, but my scenes won’t take that long. The problem is when it will be released is uncertain.”
This director was not a very famous one. The TV series he filmed might be shelved for a long time.
Don’t think that actors don’t care about what happens afterward once they get their paychecks. For Zhou Xiaojiang, the response after the show airs is more important than the pay.
If the response is good, she will be able to take on more roles afterward.
Xia Shishi wanted to make money, so she had to worry about this too.
Most importantly, what if the show was shelved for too long, Zhou Xiaojiang became idle, and went back to Fu Yunhan?
She had to keep Zhou Xiaojiang busy, the busier the better. Only then could she and Wen Jiao deal with Fu Yunhan alone.
However, this matter was also easy to solve. Whatever Zhou Xiaojiang did in the plot, she could make Zhou Xiaojiang do it again.
The two ‘fake friends’ had nothing more to say to each other in the end.
As for the ‘real friends’, they couldn’t truly interact due to the presence of the ‘fake friend’.
Zhou Xiaojiang offered a few words of congratulations and left with Ye Murou, who was acting as her assistant. Xia Shishi temporarily put the matter aside. She nervously poked her fingers, looking at Wen Jiao, her smile gradually becoming mischievous.
It was agreed.
After the marriage, the two could have a deeper level of communication.
They had already shared a bed for two months! (If rounded up)
If they still hadn’t made love after two months, even if the censorship was strict, they would lose control!
Wen Jiao knew Xia Shishi’s thoughts at a glance. Seeing Xia Shishi so excited, she considerately said: “You’re starting school soon. Are you sure you want to be this tired?”
Xia Shishi was confused: “Isn’t it still two days away?”
Even if they did it for one day, she could still rest for one day.
She deliberately chose the 28th, wasn’t it for this reason? She was so well prepared, what was Wen Jiao rejecting?
Wen Jiao spoke slowly and methodically: “Your university is starting a day early. You need to attend the orientation.”
Xia Shishi: “…”
She had planned everything, but she hadn’t accounted for the university pulling a fast one behind the scenes.
Why did Wen Jiao know better than her? She could have pretended not to know and smooth-talked her way through, and then brought it up later. Why was Wen Jiao being so considerate, even worrying about whether she could attend school on time?
It was ridiculous enough.
Xia Shishi sat back down in disappointment: “I really don’t know what you’re holding back for.”
Wen Jiao smiled as she smoothed her dress, maintaining a dignified and noble posture, but without her previous coldness.
Of course, she couldn’t let Xia Shishi know what she was thinking.
If she didn’t do it well, and Xia Shishi wasn’t happy later, how would she be able to coax her back?
