Chapter 739 The Wedding Will Be Held Three Days Later At Lumiere Jade House
Ziyue sniffed and nodded.
"Save your tears. I have something else for you." Muchen kissed her.
Ziyue glared at him. How could someone be like this?!
Shouldn't he be whispering sweet nothings to her? Instead, he's ordering her to stop crying!
Muchen took a picture book out of nowhere as if by magic. He got down on one knee. "I didn't have any money left after I bought the ring. I was afraid that wouldn't be enough, so I made you this picture book. I drew our story from the moment we met. Including the ending…"
He flipped the picture book to the end. It was blank, but the title was at the top of the page, 'Wedding.'
"I would like to complete the book. Will you marry me?" Muchen smiled warmly at her.
Muchen wasn't a romantic man. He wasn't good at flattering her and didn't know how to please a woman, but he won by being persistent and hardworking.
"Yes." Ziyue nodded.
Hiding behind some flowers, Zixi quickly took photos of them with Muchen's phone and posted them on social media.
Muchen was worried that Zixi would ruin the proposal and had given him the phone to occupy himself.
While Zixi was on the phone, he received a text from Chuan. Zixi sent him a voice note, 'Dad is proposing to Mom right now!'
Chuan got excited at the news. He immediately created a group chat with all their friends and told Zixi to live stream the proposal so they could watch.
In the past, Chuan would never dare be so bold.
But anyone would change after coming back from the verge of death. Even Muchen's temper had mellowed out significantly.
Zixi didn't usually play with phones. Posting photos were simple enough…
But live streams were a toughie.
Which was why Muchen and Ziyue found him hunched over the phone talking to someone.
Zixi was pressing the microphone button on the screen to talk.
"Why did Dad have to kneel before Mom? He…"
Before he could finish his sentence, the phone had been snatched away.
He spun around to see Muchen staring at him with narrowed eyes. He didn't look particularly angry.
But Zixi trembled in fear. He stood at attention and yelled, "Daddy! You're so handsome today!"
Mom had taught him to flatter Dad when he was upset.
Zixi's voice was earnest. He had raised his voice as if to prove his sincerity. It was honestly hilarious to witness.
Ziyue barely held it together and kept herself from laughing. After all, she was the one who had taught him that trick.
Muchen turned to look at her only to be met with Ziyue blinking innocently back at him.
"It's getting late. Let's go home." Ziyue laughed.
She took Ziyue's hand.
"Come on. Let's go home."
Watching them from behind, Muchen sighed.
The two of them were really…
…
Chuan had avoided Muchen since he coaxed that photo out of Zixi. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
He didn't appear until they were close to Ziyue and Muchen's wedding date.
After much deliberation, Ziyue and Muchen had finally decided on Lumiere Jade House as the wedding venue.
Ziyue was born and raised in Yunzhou City. This was also the place where they met. Zixi was still young, and all his friends were in Yunzhou City. There was no place more suitable than Lumiere Jade House.
Lumiere Jade House had stopped accepting customers one week in advance to prepare for the wedding.
The wedding planner was from an up-and-coming company in the city. They were a group of young, forward-thinking enthusiasts. Ziyue was very pleased with them.
Muchen had taken on the brunt of the wedding planning.
Ziyue would occasionally sneak a peek to see how things were going.
Ziyue hesitated to send Youcheng an invitation but ultimately decided to hand it to him personally.
She arrived at the office to find he had not come to work for some days.
"What happened to him?" Asked Ziyue.
After a pause, the secretary finally answered, "He's… In the hospital."
Not many knew that Youcheng was in the hospital. He had ordered his secretary not to tell anyone, especially Yuanming. However, he didn't say anything about hiding it from Ms. Su.
"How long has it been?" Ziyue asked in shock.
"He hasn't been doing well since half a year ago, but he had been taking medication to keep it under control. Recently, it's gotten worse, and he had no choice but to stay in the hospital for them to keep him under observation."
"Thank you."
Ziyue bought some fruits as a gift for him.
She arrived to see Youcheng lying in bed with an IV drip attached to his arm. The IV bag was empty, but the needle had not been removed. Blood had started to backflow into the tube. Youcheng was unconscious.
Ziyue's chest tightened at the sight.
Memories flashed through her mind. Youcheng had taken her in after her father was sentenced. When Youcheng learned about her being bullied in school, he told her, "You are a Su! You're my
granddaughter. Have some confidence! He's just a bully. What's there to be afraid of? The next time he tries something with you, beat him off with a chair. So what if it breaks? I'll take care of it!"
Youcheng treated her well. He had even sent her abroad for schooling. Ziyue couldn't help but have a soft spot for him despite him having done all those despicable things.
Ziyue called the nurse to remove the needle.
Youcheng woke up while they were removing it.
Still a little dazed from waking up, he thanked the nurse.
The nurse glanced at Ziyue instead of responding.
Youcheng slowly turned his head to see Ziyue standing there.
"What… What are you doing here?" He asked in shock.
Ziyue approached the bed. She saw a half-empty paper cup on the bedside table. The water was ice cold.
She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Would you like some water?"
Before Youcheng could say anything, Ziyue poured him some warm water.
Youcheng took the cup from her and gulped it down.
"Are you all better now?" He asked.
Ziyue tilted her head to the side. "Did you come to visit me?"
"No. Muchen did not let me in." Youcheng said without quite meeting her eyes.
"Look at the state you're in. Why wouldn't you le Yuanming come take care of you?" She scanned Youcheng carefully to see he had aged quite a bit since the last time she saw him.
At the mention of Yuanming's name, Youcheng became angry. "That useless son of mine! He is completely undependable! Su Group was…" He huffed in anger.
"I came to give you this." Ziyue cut him off. She wasn't in the mood to hear him complain about Yuanming.
She handed Youcheng the envelope.
Youcheng froze. "You're getting married?"
"Yes. In three days. The ceremony will be at the Lumiere Jade House." Ziyue said without any emotion. She did not expect him to come.
For some reason, Ziyue wanted to give him an invitation even though she did not think he would come.
Youcheng took it from her with a smile. "Sure," he sighed, "You're finally getting married."
He seemed relieved. But Ziyue couldn't tell if he was being sincere or not.
"I'll be off then."
Ziyue turned and walked out of the room without any longing.
However, she did hire a personal nurse for Youcheng.
She had a newfound respect for life ever since she woke up.
She couldn't bring herself to turn away from him after everything he had done to her. But she wouldn't do anything more than this for him.
Tomorrow night will be the finale of the show. After that, there will be interviews with Jingshu and Xia. As well as some with the supporting cast members. It won't be long.
