The Film Empress White Moonlight Wants To Be A Salted Fish - Chapter 70.2
Qin Xuan touched her neck and stared blankly at the bloodstains on her hand. Even after hurting herself, Qin Mo didn’t appear. Knowing that Qin Mo was truly gone, a pang of pain shot through Qin Xuan’s heart. She staggered back a few steps, leaning against the bed and supporting herself with the bed frame.
Qin Mo was really not coming back this time…
“Is this one okay?”
When Wen Shiyan came out of the fitting room, Lu Yiran looked at her, thought for a moment, and shook her head.
It wasn’t that the wedding dress wasn’t beautiful, but Lu Yiran felt that none of the dresses Wen Shiyan had tried on could fully highlight Wen Shiyan’s beauty in her eyes. Perhaps the dresses weren’t unique enough.
Wen Shiyan sighed, changed back into her clothes, and sat beside Lu Yiran. “This is the last one.”
Yet, Lu Yiran had picked her own wedding dress so quickly.
Lu Yiran finished her contemplation and said to Wen Shiyan, “How about we find a designer to tailor-make a dress for Jiejie? We still have so much time.”
Wen Shiyan thought that having a custom dress made that she would only wear once was too much trouble. She was about to refuse Lu Yiran, but before she could, Lu Yiran had already called Lu Chiqiu.
“Mom, I plan to get a custom wedding dress for Wen Shiyan. Is there still time…” Lu Yiran told Lu Chiqiu her idea. Lu Chiqiu had already suggested this to Lu Yiran, so she immediately agreed and also wanted to customize one for Lu Yiran.
Lu Chiqiu said to Lu Yiran, “I’ll contact my friend right away. I’ll give you her contact information. You can tell her any requirements you have.”
“Thank you, Mom”
Wen Shiyan heard Lu Yiran’s words and knew that this matter was already decided.
Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan were about to go home when they saw Qin Xuan on the street. At the first sight of Qin Xuan, Lu Yiran was startled and instinctively shielded Wen Shiyan. After a while, realizing that the person in front of them was Qin Xuan and not Qin Mo, Lu Yiran breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Xuan was dressed casually, her hair tied up haphazardly. Her face looked tired and melancholic, completely unlike the Qin Xuan Lu Yiran had seen before. When Qin Xuan saw Lu Yiran, she rushed to her, blocking her path as if Lu Yiran was her lifeline.
Because of a lack of exercise, Qin Xuan was gasping for breath and coughing violently, bending over in front of Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan. Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan didn’t leave but stood still, waiting for her to speak.
Qin Xuan coughed a few times, looked up, and asked Lu Yiran, “Miss Lu, do you know, do you know where Qin Mo went?”
“Qin Mo?” Lu Yiran was a bit confused as to why Qin Xuan was asking about Qin Mo, but she didn’t know where Qin Mo was either, because she couldn’t sense Qin Mo’s presence in this world anymore.
Lu Yiran casually said to Qin Xuan, “I don’t know, probably dead.”
Lu Yiran didn’t care if Qin Mo was alive or not. She preferred Qin Mo to suffer a fate worse than death.
Looking at Qin Xuan, who had the same face as Qin Mo, Lu Yiran instinctively felt disgust and fear. She didn’t want to say anything more to Qin Xuan. After saying that, Lu Yiran took Wen Shiyan and left. This time, Qin Xuan didn’t stop the two from leaving again.
Watching the two leave, Qin Xuan felt all her strength drain away and she fell to her knees on the ground.
“Ha, hahahaha!” Qin Xuan laughed wildly, clenching her hands and hammering them on the ground. She was laughing, but tears were still streaming down her face. She cried and laughed while kneeling on the ground. Passersby looked at her as if she were a lunatic.
There was pity, curiosity, and spectators…
Qin Xuan lowered her head and cried, “Qin Mo, you actually disappeared from this world… Didn’t you say you would never leave me?”
Qin Mo was indeed a scoundrel, but with her long term reliance on Qin Mo, she could no longer live without her…
After walking far away from Qin Xuan, Wen Shiyan asked Lu Yiran worriedly, “Do we really not need to care about her?”
Lu Yiran shook Wen Shiyan’s hand and shook her head. “No need. She and Qin Mo have been together since childhood, and Qin Xuan’s personality is like this, she must have relied heavily on Qin Mo. We’d better not bother her for now.”
After the two left, they only saw a video on Weibo taken by a passerby showing Qin Xuan “going crazy.” Since then, Lu Yiran never heard any news about Qin Xuan again.
As the wedding approached, Chen Ziyun called Lu Yiran and asked, “Lu Yiran, how are the preparations for your and Wen Shiyan’s wedding going?”
Lu Yiran, the bride to be, was currently traveling and sightseeing with Wen Shiyan somewhere. Lu Yiran calmly said to Chen Ziyun, “No rush, no rush. There’s still a lot of time before the wedding day, isn’t there?”
Chen Ziyun was stunned after hearing this. Was Lu Yiran playing around so much that she became silly? The wedding was less than a week away!
Wen Shiyan heard Lu Yiran’s words and reminded her from the side, “Yiran, there doesn’t seem to be much time left.”
“Huh?” Lu Yiran thought there was plenty of time left, which was why she kept playing outside and didn’t mention going home. Wen Shiyan also thought Lu Yiran had her own plan, so she hadn’t reminded her, since Lu Yiran had said she knew the wedding date. Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan, her eyes full of confusion. Wen Shiyan nodded to confirm her statement.
Oh no, Lu Yiran squatted down and hugged her head. Why didn’t she check the time when she went out to play? She couldn’t help but get nervous thinking about the approaching wedding.
Wen Shiyan also squatted down and hugged Lu Yiran. “It’s okay, Yiran. Don’t worry, there’s still a week until the wedding.”
Right, there’s still a week. Lu Yiran cheered up again and said to Wen Shiyan, “Let’s go, Wen Shiyan, let’s go home.”
As soon as Lu Yiran finished speaking, she heard screams in the distance. She looked towards the source of the sound.
“Ah ah ah ah, it’s Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran! We actually ran into them! Just like the rumors on Weibo said, they are on their honeymoon!”
A girl excitedly grabbed her friend’s arm and spoke. The sound was so loud that many people around looked towards Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran.
Before, many people might not have recognized Lu Yiran, but now, anything related to Wen Shiyan would include Lu Yiran, so Lu Yiran was already well-known to the public.
Hearing both Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran’s names, people on the street were eager to approach the two.
Seeing the increasingly close crowd, Lu Yiran subtly grabbed Wen Shiyan’s hand. “Run!” Lu Yiran said, pulling Wen Shiyan and rushing into the crowd.
The crowd was stunned when they saw the two charging towards them and subconsciously made way for them. Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan took advantage of their momentary shock and ran a considerable distance. By the time everyone reacted and wanted to chase them, Wen Shiyan and Lu Yiran were nowhere to be seen.
Arriving at a less crowded place, Lu Yiran let go of Wen Shiyan’s hand and panted while looking around.
Seeing that no one followed them, Lu Yiran breathed a sigh of relief and leaned on Wen Shiyan. “Phew, finally no one is here.”
It had been a long time since she had run like that.
Lu Yiran looked up and smiled brightly at Wen Shiyan. “Let’s go home, Wen Shiyan.”
Wen Shiyan held Lu Yiran’s hand again and smiled. “Okay.”
The night before the wedding, Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan originally didn’t plan to separate, as others do, but Lu Yiran became too nervous being with Wen Shiyan and ended up going back to her own home to stay.
Chen Ziyun drove Lu Yiran home herself. On the way, she said to Lu Yiran, “I see other couples can’t stand being apart the night before the wedding, but why did you run off because you were nervous?”
Lu Yiran took a sip of the water in front of her and said to Chen Ziyun, “Sigh, you wouldn’t understand.”
After Lu Yiran left, Xie Shiyao curiously asked Wen Shiyan, “Sister, sister, who proposed first, you or Sister Yiran?”
Wen Shiyan was already missing Lu Yiran even though she had only been gone for a little while. After hearing Xie Shuyao’s question, she answered a moment later, “I did, but Yiran and I also proposed together, in a way.”
Xie Shuyao noticed Wen Shiyan’s distracted state and joked, “Sister, are you already missing Sister Yiran even though she’s only been gone for a little while?”
“Yes.” Wen Shiyan answered without hesitation. Xie Shuyao was stunned. She hadn’t expected Wen Shiyan to answer so directly.
Her sister had changed, she really had changed…
After arriving home, Chen Ziyun opened the door and said to Lu Yiran, “Tell me, you two. You were photographed all the way during your trip. Now many people suspect that you’ve already had your wedding and are on your honeymoon.”
Lu Yiran had nothing to say in response to Chen Ziyun. During their trip, she and Wen Shiyan indeed hadn’t paid much attention to disguising themselves. When they were discovered, they would run together. Since they had bodyguards following them, they didn’t worry too much about being recognized.
They hadn’t leaked a single bit of news about the wedding. Lu Yiran planned to have Xiao Yu post a Weibo message with an accompanying video about her and Wen Shiyan’s wedding once it started.
Since Qin Mo disappeared, Lu Yiran had become extremely cautious. Besides the people she and Wen Shiyan knew and the acquaintances of their mothers, she hadn’t invited anyone else. Lu Yiran thought: better safe than sorry. It would be a huge problem if a Qin Mo Mark II appeared at the wedding.
In the bed, Wen Shiyan was alone. It felt empty beside her, and Wen Shiyan couldn’t help but hug herself tightly. She had loved Lu Yiran in silence for a long time before, and now it was only one night apart. She had managed to live alone for so long after leaving Lu Yiran before, but now that she had tasted happiness, could she really not bear the loneliness anymore?
After Lu Yiran left, Wen Shiyan thought about her all night.
Early the next morning, Lu Yiran was still half asleep but was urged by Chen Ziyun to get dressed.
In the car, Lu Yiran yawned nonchalantly and said to Chen Ziyun, “It’s just a wedding, is it necessary to rush like this?”
While having her makeup done, Lu Yiran secretly opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled. Very good, Wen Shiyan would definitely be conquered by her beauty when she saw her.
Chen Ziyun carefully adjusted the wedding dress on Lu Yiran. Thinking that her friend, whom she often joked with, was about to get married, Chen Ziyun suddenly couldn’t help but cry.
Seeing Chen Ziyun cry, Lu Yiran helplessly wiped her tears and said with a smile, “Chen Ziyun, why are you crying? I’m just getting married.”
Chen Ziyun sniffled and said, “I’m not crying. Alright, let’s hurry up and leave. Everyone should be anxiously waiting.”
After getting out of the car, Lu Yiran was escorted into the wedding venue.
Looking at the crowd and hearing the words of blessing, Lu Yiran felt like everything was too beautiful to be real. It wasn’t until she saw Wen Shiyan, led by Xie Mother, walking towards her.
Seeing Wen Shiyan in the wedding dress, Lu Yiran’s heart trembled. She stood nervously, holding her bouquet, her heart beating rapidly.
Wen Shiyan, who also saw Lu Yiran, couldn’t help but freeze in nervousness.
As the wedding music started, Wen Shiyan gradually walked towards Lu Yiran. When Wen Shiyan stood beside her, Lu Yiran couldn’t help but tense up. The two walked onto the wedding stage together.
When they stopped, Wen Shiyan’s hand suddenly touched Lu Yiran’s. Lu Yiran looked at Wen Shiyan. Wen Shiyan clearly looked nervous now. Behind their backs, where others couldn’t see, Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan clasped their hands together.
Du Mian, wearing a pretty little dress, brought the rings to the couple. She smiled innocently and said to Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan, “Happy wedding, Jiejies. May you be a loving couple forever.”
Lu Yiran bent down slightly, took the rings, and smiled sweetly at Du Mian. “Thank you, Xiaomian.”
She gave one of the rings to Wen Shiyan. After helping Wen Shiyan put the ring on, Lu Yiran held out her hand.
With the ring placed on her ring finger, Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan passionately embraced each other amidst the officiant’s words.
Seeing that the two on the stage were taking a long time to kiss, Chen Ziyun and Xie Shuyao from below began to chant, “Kiss, kiss!”
Lu Yiran was easily embarrassed. Amidst the cheering from the audience, she blushed and lowered her head. Wen Shiyan held Lu Yiran’s hand and whispered to her, “Kiss so they can see…”
Amidst the cheers from the audience, Wen Shiyan kissed Lu Yiran. A familiar fragrance lingered in her nose. Lu Yiran closed her eyes, and the sounds around her disappeared. Lu Yiran could only hear her and Wen Shiyan’s breathing.
Releasing Wen Shiyan, Lu Yiran slightly caught her breath.
Lu Yiran took the microphone and faced the audience, saying, “Thank you very much to my… wife.” Lu Yiran felt a little embarrassed when she said “wife” and looked at Wen Shiyan. Wen Shiyan smiled and nodded at her. Lu Yiran continued facing the camera.
“Without her, I wouldn’t be who I am today. I also want to thank my friends and family. Thank you, everyone.”
The audience burst into applause and words of blessing. Lu Chiqiu held Pei Ruochu’s arm, and they looked with satisfaction at the happy couple on the stage.
“Do you take her to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?”
Lu Yiran and Wen Shiyan held hands and smiled at each other.
“I do.”
