Chapter 586 Wedding
Wen Lan and Xie Yansheng prepared a dowry for Nuan Nuan, not only hiding it from Nuan Nuan, but also from their two sons.
The main reason was that they were embarrassed.
A few days ago, they said righteously that they would not attend the wedding and would not bring any dowry. Jiang Jingci came to Xie Yansheng's office and slapped him in the face.
For this wedding, Wen Lan specially ordered several dresses for herself and Xie Yansheng in a luxury store.
The closer the wedding date, the more frustrated Nuan Nuan felt. Seeing that Wen Lan and Xie Yansheng had no intention of giving in, she would not come to Beijing.
In the end, Zhou Qiao acted as a middleman and told Nuan Nuan the good news.
Nuan Nuan didn't believe it and called Wen Lan immediately. Wen Lan pretended to be reserved and said, "It was your dad who insisted on going."
"Godmother said that you and dad would come! Godmother also said that you prepared a generous dowry for me." Nuan Nuan could no longer hide her inner joy and blurted it out.
Wen Lan said with a stiff face, "Your father and I attending your wedding and giving you a dowry does not mean that we have recognized Jiang Guan."
"As long as you can come, I am happy even if there is no dowry." Nuan Nuan said sincerely.
Wen Lan sighed, "Who made you my daughter?"
Two days before Nuan Nuan's wedding, Wen Lan, Xie Yansheng and Xie Nanchen arrived in Jiangcheng. That afternoon, Xie Beiheng and Nan Chuji also returned from Country Y and lived in Yunshen City.
The wedding was planned by Jiang Jingci and his son, and the main theme was grand and luxurious.
Hearing that Xie Yansheng and Wen Lan would attend, they added an eight-digit wedding budget.
Xie Yansheng appeared at the wedding, and Xie Yu and his wife and Xie Jianning naturally went without saying.
Xie Xiaotong and Wen Zuming were helping out in Yunshen City. Wen Lan looked at the grown-up children and couldn't help sighing.
Time flies so fast. For a moment, she always thought that she had just got the marriage certificate with Xie Yansheng not long ago, and she hadn't conceived Nuan Nuan yet.
The day before the wedding, Wen Jinyin came to Yunshen City with a shameless face and gave Nuannuan a red envelope of 10,000 yuan.
Wen Lan didn't have a good face for him, and Xie Yansheng chatted with him for a few words for the sake of face.
The Xie family lived in two townhouses in Yunshen City. In order to make Nuannuan's wedding a success, Xie Yansheng transferred Uncle Zhong and the nanny from the old house.
Nuannuan was the happiest.
In fact, as long as Wen Lan and Xie Yansheng attended the wedding, she was satisfied. She never thought that the dowry they gave was more than the original betrothal gift of the Jiang family.
Jiang Jingci and his son also thought that the wedding would be as cold and deserted as the engagement ceremony, but they didn't expect Wen Lan and Xie Yansheng to give such a big surprise.
This means that the relationship between the Xie family and the Jiang family began to break the ice, and the two families officially became in-laws.
Tomorrow is the day when Nuannuan is getting married, and the people who come to Yunshen City to congratulate are almost trampling the threshold.
Wen Lan and Xie Yansheng greeted and sent off people in the living room on the first floor, and they were exhausted.
The five dresses that Nuan Nuan wore at her wedding were made by TT's chief designer at the request of Zhou Qiao. As Nuan Nuan's godmother, Zhou Qiao gave her a set of imperial green jade jewelry and a small high-rise building.
Wen Lan returned the property deeds and keys, saying that the Xie family and the Jiang family had given Nuan Nuan a lot of real estate, and that Nuan Nuan would have to rely on Zhou Qiao's care in Jiangcheng in the future.
Zhou Qiao readily agreed, "I only have one son, and I've been waiting for a daughter for years. Nuan Nuan will be my biological daughter in the future."
There were more than 30 people having dinner in Yunshen City, and seven chefs in two kitchens were cooking at the same time. When one group finished, another group would take over.
Wen Lan and Zhou Qiao were the last to enter the dining room for dinner. It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when Zhou Qiao left.
Wen Lan saw her off in person, and only when he saw her driving away did he prepare to return to the house. When he turned around, he saw a familiar figure.
Duan Qianxun was dressed in black, blending into the night. His handsome features were tense, and his eyes were full of indissoluble obsession.
"Qianxun, when did you come to Jiangcheng?" Wen Lan wanted to invite him into the house, but she didn't want to cause trouble for Nuannuan, so she held back.
"Auntie, Nuannuan is getting married tomorrow, and I have a gift for her." Duan Qianxun's voice was dim, and he took out a delicate little box from the paper bag he brought with him.
Wen Lan hurriedly reached out to take it, "Auntie will definitely pass it to Nuannuan for you."
Duan Qianxun shook his head, "I came to Jiangcheng from Shangjing just to give it to her in person."
Wen Lan frowned, "Qianxun, you should know that Nuannuan doesn't want to see you."
"Auntie, I must see Nuannuan today." Duan Qianxun's eyes were full of determination.
Wen Lan couldn't say anything else, so she invited him into the house.
At this time, all the relatives and friends had left, Xie Beiheng and Xie Nanchen went to see off a few drunk guests, and only Nuannuan and Nan Chuji were left in the living room to study tomorrow's bridal makeup.
Before Duan Qianxun walked into the living room, Wen Lan called out, "Nuan Nuan, Qianxun is here."
When Nuan Nuan heard this, the smile on her face froze immediately. Nan Chuji stood up out of politeness and nodded to Duan Qianxun.
"What would Qianxun like to drink?" Wen Lan hurriedly smiled to smooth things over, "We have iced sour plum soup and freshly squeezed orange juice at home."
"Nuan Nuan, can you talk to me?" Duan Qianxun ignored Wen Lan and walked towards Nuan Nuan who had her back to him.
Nuan Nuan was stunned for a moment, and her voice was cold, "Go ahead, I'm listening."
Nan Chuji was very considerate. She took out an unopened lipstick from the makeup box and walked towards Wen Lan, "Auntie, I think this color suits your skin tone. Let's go upstairs and try it?"
"You help Auntie to apply it." Wen Lan smiled and understood, and went upstairs with Nan Chuji.
Nuan Nuan turned around reluctantly and glanced at Duan Qianxun calmly, "What are you doing here?"
"Come to see you." Duan Qianxun handed over the small box in his hand and smiled bitterly, "This is the birthday gift I bought for you three years ago. If I don't give it to you today, there will be no chance in the future."
Nuannuan recognized the hidden logo on it, which was a first-tier luxury brand in country F.
"We are just ordinary friends. Your gift is too expensive. I can't accept it." Nuannuan bit her red lips and refused, "You should keep it for your future girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?" Duan Qianxun put the box on the wooden table, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his lips, "I don't know if I will have a girlfriend in this life. I bought it for you at the beginning. It belongs to you whether you accept it or not."
Nuannuan lowered her eyes, "Qianxun, as long as you appear, I will be inexplicably nervous. It didn't matter before, but now I am pregnant and can't stand this kind of stimulation. I hope you won't scare me again in the future."
The two words "pregnant woman" cut a bloody hole in Duan Qianxun's heart.
Duan Qianxun's eyes fell on Nuannuan's flat belly, his heart was in turmoil, after a brief silence, he murmured "Congratulations".
"Thank you." Nuannuan smiled.
In order to make him give up completely, Nuannuan deliberately said that she was pregnant.
Duan Qianxun's right hand trembled slightly, and he picked up the small box, "I'm sorry, I disturbed you, I won't do it again."
Before Nuannuan could react, Duan Qianxun had already left with the small box.
After leaving the Xie family's house, he raised his hand and threw the box into a trash can.
