Jingxia Rose

Chapter 148: It was the season for roses to bloom, and also their wedding day.

Wen Qi's worries were justified. Jiao Yan did have that thought in mind, wanting to put pressure on Ji Xian through public opinion, but You Xiaoxiao stopped her.

Now, he's wearing a hospital gown, bald, and looks haggard and thin. Where is the refined and proud man he used to be?

She scolded Jiao Yan, saying that she was short-sighted and only knew how to look at immediate benefits. She said that if she continued to antagonize Ji Xian, what impact would it have on Ji Xian?
She can easily appease public opinion by spending a little money, and then turn around and bite them back. What chance do they have?
That meant there was no hope left.

After hearing this, Jiao Yan felt nothing but regret; she dared not do anything out of line.

Ji Xian and Wen Qi returned to Beijing on the 9th. At the end of October, Wen Jingyan and Sui Yi arrived in Jialing Town with several carloads of betrothal gifts, a spectacle that left the surrounding neighbors speechless.

The wedding date was set by Ji Xian, on May 18th of next year.

It's the peak blooming season for roses.

The wedding venue was chosen to be the Wenxian Rose Manor.

The wedding dress was custom-made by a group under the Yi family, and the wedding invitations were designed by Ji Xian, which are simple and elegant, yet romantic and sweet.

That year, during the Spring Festival, Wen Qi originally wanted to invite Uncle Ji and his family to Beijing for the holiday. Ji Xian also felt it was inappropriate, but Wen Qi insisted. As a result, when he made a phone call, his aunt resolutely refused, and no amount of persuasion could change her mind.

In the end, the two of them had no choice but to go back to Jialing Town for the Spring Festival. In the third year of the Lunar New Year, they took Ji Nian and Ji Heng back to Beijing. The two siblings played until the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, when Ji Nian had to go back to school.

Time flies, and May is here in the blink of an eye.

They sent a wedding invitation to both Xiao Guxing and Anatoly, who were in Moscow.

Both of them arrived around May 10th, and the four of them had a meal together on the 11th.

On the 12th, the bridesmaids had a meal together.

There were three bridesmaids: Shi Wan, Ye Xueyan, and Ji Nian. Their groomsmen consisted of three people, excluding Lu Xuming, who was already married.

"Time flies. It's been over a year since you and Wen Qi got back together," Shi Wan said with a sip of her wine.

“Who says otherwise?” Ye Xueyan agreed.

Ji Nian, who was only allowed to drink juice, blinked rapidly, as if she had heard some incredible gossip. She looked at Ji Xian with a shocked expression, "Sis, you and your brother-in-law got back together? You broke up before? Why did you break up? How long did you date? And how did you get together?"

Ji Xian looked at her quietly, "We did break up, because of a misunderstanding."

She didn't talk about anything else.

It is said that loving someone is like nurturing them. Looking at Shi Wan's current state, she was calm but with a touch of the charming and bright nature that she was born with.

She knew that Wen Qi had given her enough security and love, which made her no longer as cautious and restrained as before.

You can tell the difference just by looking into those eyes.

Shi Wan readily raised her glass, "Ah Xian, I'd like to toast you. How should I put it, after hardship comes happiness, but those four words don't quite capture it. I wish you continued happiness and joy every day, that you and Wen Qi grow old together, and that you quickly give me a godson or goddaughter to play with."

Ji Xian had already clinked glasses with her, and was about to take a sip when he heard her last sentence. He looked up and asked, "Play?"

"Little kids are so much fun." Seeing her expression, Shi Wan was surprised. "You don't want to have children? Have you discussed it with Wen Qi?"

"No." Ji Xian shook her head. "It's not that I don't want to have children, it's just that I feel a little helpless when I think about this issue, and I'm afraid that I will be an unqualified mother."

Ye Xueyan interjected, "You're overthinking it. You'll definitely be a good mother."

Ji Nian nodded, "I agree with that. Sister, you're so good, with such a great personality, how could you not be qualified?"

Perhaps influenced by Jiao Yan, she has always been quite afraid of the identity of 'mother'.

That evening, after returning to Canglan Residence, Wen Qi held her in his arms as they went to sleep, his chin resting on the top of her head. He seemed to sense that something was wrong with her. Wen Qi gently stroked her back and asked softly, "What's wrong? Did something unpleasant happen at the dinner party today?"

Ji Xuan shook his head in his arms, "I just thought of a question."

"what is the problem?"

Do you like children?

Wen Qi was taken aback, leaned back, and looked down at her. "You don't like it?"

Ji Xuan raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck, "No, it's not..."

She vaguely expressed her concerns.

Wen Qi was stunned for a while before he couldn't help but laugh and pecked her lips. "Lu Xuming told me today that girls often have premarital anxiety before marriage. It turns out it's true."

Seeing him laughing so happily, Ji Xuan reached out and pinched his waist in annoyance, "I'm serious, is it really that funny?"

Wen Qi stopped laughing, lowered his head and kissed her lips, saying only one sentence, "You are different from her, and you will never be the same."

Ji Xian was slightly taken aback, but his mind suddenly cleared up, and the fog of confusion was lifted.

Yes, she and Jiao Yan were never the same kind of people.

Pre-wedding anxiety is real; I'm anxious about all sorts of trivial things.

Unreasonably worried.

Wen Qi suddenly placed his hand on her abdomen and whispered in her ear, "Let's just let nature take its course. Don't worry about these things. If you want to have a baby next year, I will work harder in the future."

Ji Xian's breathing became disordered from his kisses. She was panting slightly when his deep, sexy breath made her half-weak. She glared at him, feeling a little embarrassed and annoyed, and then stepped out of his embrace.

He said solemnly, "My second uncle and his family are coming over tomorrow, so I'll go back to my place."

Wen Qi's eyes darkened slightly. "So you're deliberately reminding me to hint at something?"

"..."

Ji Xuan was shocked by his sudden shamelessness, but in the end Wen Qi did nothing. He simply pulled her back into his arms and they fell asleep together.

May 18th is the blooming season for roses, and it is also their wedding day.

The wedding banquet was a grand affair, attracting all the prominent families in Beijing and even many wealthy individuals from other regions. It was a truly lavish and extravagant event.

It is rumored that the total cost of the wedding exceeded 300 million yuan, especially Ji Xuan's wedding dress and suit, which were extremely valuable.

Ji Xian walked towards Wen Qi, arm in arm with her second uncle.

When Ji Xian first brought it up, Uncle Ji wanted to disagree, thinking it was inappropriate. However, after Ji Xian said, "My father passed away when I was five years old," he ultimately didn't say no.

Walking onto the platform, he took Ji Xian's hand and placed it in Wen Qi's hand, his eyes filled with sorrow. "I'm entrusting her to you on behalf of her father. I hope... you will treat her well in the future. If she does anything wrong, just call me and I will talk to her properly. Her second aunt and I raised her for over twenty years. If she does anything wrong, it's because we didn't teach her well."

Upon hearing these words, Ji Xian, who had been holding back his tears for a long time, finally couldn't hold them back and they fell.

Wen Qi nodded earnestly, "Don't worry, for the rest of my life, I will not let her suffer the slightest grievance."

Uncle Ji stepped down satisfied, without ever glancing at Ji Xian once.

As the emcee continued the ceremony and the rings were exchanged, Ji Xian's choked yet powerful "I do" resounded throughout the venue, drifting into the azure sky and becoming eternal.

The countdown to the main story is about to begin! Tomorrow we'll see their married life, and after that, it'll be the extra chapters about Shi Wan and Yi Xu. My darlings, please give me some votes!
