Cecilia Shaniat seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around, meeting Chen Xiuming's gaze.
"Chen Xiuming, you've finally arrived."
"Hmm, have you chosen your wedding dress yet?"
"I'm a little undecided and would like to get your opinion."
Cecilia Shaniat took Chen Xiuming's hand and led him towards the waiting area of the bridal shop.
At this moment, Maria Shaniat and Angela Shaniat were already seated in the reception area, enjoying the cake that Chen Xiuming had bought.
However, while enjoying her cake, Maria Shaniat kept her eyes fixed on Chen Xiuming.
Upon seeing Cecilia Shaniat take Chen Xiuming's hand, her eyes instantly sharpened.
Cecilia Schariac glared at Maria Schariac, causing Maria Schariac to deflate like a punctured balloon and dejectedly look away.
Then, as if she were seeing Chen Xiuming in the cake in front of her, she gritted her teeth and used a plastic fork to "dismember" the cake.
Cecilia Shaniat and Chen Xiuming sat to one side, and then Cecilia Shaniat opened the wedding dress catalog and showed Chen Xiuming the three wedding dresses she had chosen.
Although Chen Xiuming felt that every wedding dress suited Cecilia Shaniat, after much deliberation, he chose the one he thought best suited Cecilia Shaniat.
This is a rather simple mermaid-style wedding dress with almost no embellishments, except for a single blue flower at the chest.
This design concept, which emphasizes a slender figure, can showcase the bride's beautiful and sexy waistline. The wide skirt below the knee, resembling a mermaid's tail, further highlights the bride's unique charm. It is a wedding dress that blends clothing and temperament into one.
"Chen Xiuming, I also prefer this wedding dress. It seems we're on the same wavelength."
Cecilia Shaniat's smile was captivating, her eyes sparkling, her beauty like a hundred flowers in full bloom, breathtakingly gorgeous.
Maria Shaniat and Angela Shaniat came over at the same time to look at the wedding dress that Chen Xiuming and Cecilia Shaniat had jointly decided on.
"Hmph! You have good taste."
Maria Shaniat gave a haughty hum, seemingly acknowledging Chen Xiuming's choice.
Or perhaps, she approves of Cecilia Shaniat's choice, not Chen Xiuming's.
If Cecilia Shaniat had chosen a different wedding dress, she would most likely have said that Chen Xiuming had terrible taste.
"Then I'll go try on the wedding dress first."
Cecilia Shaniat got up and walked towards the dressing room, asking a waiter to fetch the wedding dress.
Maria Shaniat, no longer able to enjoy her cake, hurriedly followed Cecilia Shaniat toward the bridal shop's dressing room.
"Sister Cecilia, let me help you put on your wedding dress!"
Listening to Maria Shaniat's words, Chen Xiuming, though eager to see Cecilia Shaniat in a wedding dress, could only wait patiently for now.
Angela Shaniat focused intently on enjoying her cake, undistracted by Cecilia Shaniat and Maria Shaniat's departure.
Chen Xiuming waited for two or three minutes with a mix of trepidation, excitement, and nervousness before Cecilia Shaniat, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, finally emerged from the dressing room.
Against the backdrop of her wedding dress, Cecilia Shaniat, already pure and beautiful, became even more radiant, like a lotus emerging from the water, breathtakingly beautiful.
"Chen Xiuming, how do you like this wedding dress?"
Cecilia Shaniat seemed somewhat shy, fidgeting as she smoothed her temples behind her ear. She seemed to want to look directly at Chen Xiuming, but her shyness prevented her from looking directly at him.
Chen Xiuming stared intently at Cecilia Shaniat, and couldn't help but walk quickly toward her, wanting to admire the beautiful face of the "bride" Cecilia Shaniat up close.
Compared to the stigmata associated with Cecilia Schariac seen in the game, the real Cecilia Schariac is even more beautiful, especially when she is wearing a pure white wedding dress and has a shy expression, which makes Chen Xiuming marvel at her beauty.
Maria Shaniat was like a fervent "fangirl," constantly taking photos with her phone.
Even Angela Shaniat put down her cake, looking at Cecilia Shaniat with eyes full of amazement.
"That's amazing... Cecilia, you look so beautiful in your wedding dress!"
Am I not good-looking normally?
Cecilia Shaniat gave Chen Xiuming a coquettish yet shy glare.
Once their eyes met, they were drawn to each other like magnets, unable to look away.
Seeing the two exchanging glances, their eyes practically locked in a passionate exchange, Maria Shaniat snapped back to reality. She stopped filming Cecilia Shaniat's "bridal" role and instead stood beside her, staring at Chen Xiuming with a dangerous look.
Noticing Maria Shaniat's dangerous gaze, Chen Xiuming snapped back to reality and quickly explained, "You're already very beautiful, but you become even more beautiful in a wedding dress."
Upon hearing this, Cecilia Shaniat was very pleased and suddenly broke into a radiant smile.
"Then we've decided on this wedding dress."
Cecilia Shaniat made the decision, then urged, "Chen Xiuming, now it's your turn to choose a suitable dress."
"I'll just buy any well-fitting suit..."
"No."
Before Chen Xiuming could finish speaking, Cecilia Shaniat interrupted him.
"A wedding is one of the most important things in life, and you can't have a mindset of settling for something less than perfect."
"Ah."
Chen Xiuming complied with Cecilia Shaniat's arrangements, just as Cecilia Shaniat had complied with Chen Xiuming's arrangements when they first met.
Maria Shaniat let out a soft "humph" but said nothing more, helping Cecilia Shaniat back into the locker room.
Chen Xiuming took a deep breath to calm his slightly agitated mood, then walked towards the area displaying white suits.
The bridal shop not only sells wedding dresses for women, but also white suits for men.
However, compared to the wide variety of wedding dresses, there are fewer white suits, and they all look very similar, with only minor differences between each suit.
Chen Xiuming couldn't distinguish the specific differences between these white suits, so he could only ask Angela Shaniat to help him choose, and then let Cecilia Shaniat decide on the final style.
These white suits looked identical to Chen Xiuming, but to Angela Shaniat, they seemed distinctly different, and she quickly selected three white suits.
"These three suits should all suit my brother-in-law well, but it's up to Cecilia to decide which one suits him best."
"Yes, thank you, Angelia."
"Hehe~ Brother-in-law, you're welcome."
10. Cecilia's Wedding
Cecilia Shaniat immediately picked out the most suitable white suit for Chen Xiuming from the three suits and then asked the waiter to pack it up.
Unlike other couples who rent wedding dresses, Cecilia Shaniat, who brought a large sum of money with her, chose to buy both her wedding dress and white suit.
Chen Xiuming and Cecilia Shaniat's wedding is scheduled for three days from now. As the wedding is not a large-scale event, the church where the wedding will be held is not the largest church in the city, but a small church in a relatively remote location.
Because Chen Xiuming and Cecilia Shaniat did not invite any relatives or friends to the wedding, the church will arrange for church staff to act as guests to avoid empty seats.
Before their wedding, Chen Xiuming and Cecilia Shaniat did not spend their time idle; instead, they used the time to take wedding photos.
Although Maria Shaniat was still clearly unhappy, thanks to the cake that Chen Xiuming had prepared beforehand, she did not stop the two from taking wedding photos. She even served as an extra alongside Angela Shaniat.
The wedding photos were compiled into three books, one for Cecilia Shaniat, one for Maria Shaniat, and one for Angela Shaniat.
Looking at the wedding album cover featuring the handsome Chen Xiuming and Cecilia Shaniat, Maria Shaniat gritted her teeth, still believing that Chen Xiuming was unworthy of her most beloved and respected "Sister Cecilia".
Angela Shaniat happily put away her wedding photo album, claiming she would store it in a special cabinet.
……
As the wedding date drew closer, Chen Xiuming and Cecilia Shaniat felt like each day was an eternity.
After a long period of anxious and nervous waiting, the day of the wedding finally arrived.
Chen Xiuming was so excited last night that he couldn't sleep.
After Cecilia Shaniat finished her makeup, the two went to the church together.
Since Cecilia Shaniat's parents were not present, Cecilia Shaniat entered arm in arm with Maria Shaniat, and Maria Shaniat eventually handed Cecilia Shaniat over to Chen Xiuming.
Although Maria Shaniat didn't have a stern face, Chen Xiuming still heard a soft humming sound when he held Cecilia Shaniat's right hand.
Cecilia Shaniat covered her mouth and smiled faintly, then looked at Chen Xiuming with affection in her eyes, as if urging him on.
Chen Xiuming chuckled softly and remained silent. The movement of holding Cecilia Shaniat's right hand quietly transformed into interlocking fingers, and together they walked along the red carpet toward the priest.
When he reached the priest, Chen Xiuming noticed the priest's appearance and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Although the priest had black hair, he looked exactly like Otto Apocalypse.
“I am Father Kevin, who is officiating at this wedding.”
"Excuse me--"
Father Kevin looked at Chen Xiuming, his tone solemn and dignified.
When Chen Xiuming heard Father Kevin's name, he was not only surprised, but also gained a deeper understanding of the bizarre and abstract nature of the "world bubble".
Then, meeting Father Kevin's solemn and dignified gaze, Chen Xiuming cleared his mind of his chaotic thoughts and looked directly at Father Kevin with unwavering focus and determination.
"Groom—do you take this bride to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, until the day she leaves this world?"
"Yes I do."
Chen Xiuming gave a firm reply without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Father Kevin nodded slightly and then looked at Cecilia Shaniat.
"Bride—do you take this man to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, until the day he leaves this world?"
Cecilia Shaniat smiled and answered gently yet firmly, "Yes, I am willing to marry him—my husband Chen Xiuming."
Upon receiving Cecilia Shaniat's reply, Father Kevin composed himself, his solemn expression softening into a smile. He then took the wedding rings from the ring bearer and presented them to Chen Xiuming and Cecilia Shaniat respectively.
Chen Xiuming took the wedding ring first, then held Cecilia Shaniat's left hand and slowly slipped the ring onto her left ring finger.
"Cecilia, perhaps the greatest luck of my life is meeting you."
"That's not right~"
Cecilia Shaniat looked down at the wedding ring on the ring finger of her left hand, then picked up another wedding ring and slowly slipped it onto the ring finger of Chen Xiuming's left hand.
"This is our destined fate, so—my dear, I love you."
"Yes—my dear Cecilia, I love you too."
Before the words were even finished, the distance between the two gradually closed.
