The antique girlfriend of a chaebol heir

Shen Ci and Jiang Duo's wedding preparations are proceeding smoothly.

The Jiang family hired a top international wedding planning team. From the selection of the venue and the banquet menu to the camera positions of the video team and the design of the wedding invitations, every detail was handled by professionals.

Shen Ci and Jiang Duo were arranged perfectly. They only needed to show up occasionally to try on wedding dresses and confirm the procedures, while the rest was handled by others.

The day before the wedding.

Chu Xuanxuan, Yu Nuo, and Li Yueran, who specially came back from out of town, all gathered at Shen Ci's new home.

This is no longer the house where Shen Ci, her father, and Lin Ruojin lived.

In recent years, with the support of the Jiang family, Shen Xiaoming's company has developed steadily and he has become much more financially secure.

Shen Xiaoming bought this villa for Shen Ci in the city center. It was just renovated at the beginning of the year, and the property certificate is in Shen Ci's name.

"My goodness! Such a huge house!"

Li Yueran exclaimed in surprise as soon as she entered the door, her eyes wide. She looked around the spacious living room and couldn't help but exclaim, "Uncle Shen spoils you so much!"

Shen Ci couldn't help but smile as he watched her startled expression.

"So tonight we can choose the biggest room, sleep together, and have a good chat."

That evening, Shen Ci had another bed moved into the largest bedroom, and the four girls lay side by side, just like when they were back in their university dormitory.

The ceiling lights were dimmed, and they chatted about funny things that happened in college, the weird colleagues they had recently encountered during their internships, and which store had released a new model of a figurine... Everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep.

Yu Nuo rolled over and whispered to Shen Ci, "Xiao Ci, you're getting married tomorrow, are you nervous?"

"I'm not nervous."

Shen Ci stared at the ceiling, her tone calm.

Every detail of the wedding has been planned perfectly by professionals. Tomorrow, she just needs to wear her wedding dress and follow the procedures. There's nothing to be nervous about.

Li Yueran leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "So, after you and Senior Jiang get married, do you plan to have children?"

Shen Ci was stunned for a moment.

The image of Jiang Duo pestering her and acting silly recently involuntarily floated into her mind.

Jiang Duo's desires in that area seemed endless.

Fortunately, he took precautions each time.

Shen Ci suddenly felt her face getting hot and pulled the blanket up a little.

"We don't have that plan for now. Jiang Duo said I'll make the decision about the child."

In fact, Jiang Duo also said at the time that if possible, it would be best to postpone having children—

Because he didn't want anyone to distract Shen Ci so early on.

Li Yueran let out a soft "Wow," and reached out to grasp Shen Ci's hand, which was sticking out from under the blanket: "Senior Jiang really loves you."

"Of course," Chu Xuanxuan said smugly, propping herself up halfway from the covers. "I noticed it back in freshman year. The way Senior Jiang looked at our Xiaoci was just...!"

"Alright, alright," Yu Nuo interrupted her with a smile, "You think you can read Jiang's eyes? Back in freshman year, you were like a mouse seeing a cat when you saw Jiang."

"That was reverence! Reverence, you understand?"

The four of them burst into laughter, kicking the blankets into a mess.

As the night deepened, the conversation shifted from children back to college days: who got caught using their phone in class by the professor, who stayed up all night studying for final exams and ended up falling asleep in the library…

Chu Xuanxuan and Li Yueran's voices gradually lowered, turning into even breathing sounds.

Yu Nuo rolled over, mumbling sleepily, "Xiao Ci...tomorrow...you'll definitely be the most beautiful bride..."

Shen Ci gave a soft "hmm," but she wasn't sleepy.

Actually, she was probably... a little nervous.

She opened her eyes and stared at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling.

The house was large and quiet, completely different from the home she used to live in.

But she actually preferred her original place, where her father and Aunt Lin lived.

The phone screen suddenly lit up.

Jiang Duo: "Wife, are you asleep?"

Shen Ci smiled and tapped her fingers lightly on the screen:

"Not yet, I was just chatting with my roommate."

Jiang Duo: "I guessed it."

He paused and then added.

"Honey, I miss you."

The other end displayed "typing" for a long time, and finally sent a message:

"See you tomorrow, honey."

Jiang Duo lay in the furnished room, holding his phone, and smiled silently.

The next day, before dawn.

Downstairs in the living room, the staff had already begun their work in an orderly manner, with boxes of all sizes lined up neatly on the floor.

The woman at the head of the group looked up at Shen Ci and immediately gave a professional smile: "Good morning, Ms. Shen. I'm Cindy, today's lead stylist. The team is ready and we can begin at any time."

Shen Ci nodded: "I'll go wash up first."

When she came downstairs again, Chu Xuanxuan, Yu Nuo and Li Yueran had already woken up. The three of them squeezed into the sofa, hugging their pillows, their eyes still sleepy but unable to hide their excitement as they watched the scene gradually unfolding in the living room.

"My God," Chu Xuanxuan whispered to Yu Nuo, "I've only ever seen this kind of spectacle in movies."

"The Jiang family hired a top international team," Yu Nuo said in a low voice. "I heard they've done wedding styling for top international celebrities."

Shen Ci sat in front of the makeup mirror.

The stylist gently lifted her chin with his fingers, examined her carefully for a moment, and then turned to his assistant and said, "Use that light foundation. Her skin is in such good condition that she doesn't need heavy concealer."

A little while later, Chu Xuanxuan and the others were also taken aside to get bridesmaid outfits.

Time flowed slowly in this quiet yet busy atmosphere.

More than an hour later, Cindy took a step back, her gaze sweeping over Shen Ci's face, and finally nodded in satisfaction: "All done."

Shen Ci stared at herself in the mirror, momentarily stunned.

The living room suddenly fell silent.

Chu Xuanxuan and the others walked over, staring blankly for a long time before finally finding their own voices.

"Xiao Ci, you..." Chu Xuanxuan swallowed hard. "Isn't this just too unfair?"

Shen Ci's makeup was not heavy, but it precisely amplified every advantage of her facial features.

Her eyebrows were shaped to be even more delicate and graceful, and her eye makeup made her already clear eyes appear even deeper and brighter.

She only applied a light layer of mauve lipstick, which made her skin look as white as snow.

She was wearing a white silk robe, and even before changing into her wedding dress, she was already so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

"What will Jiang Xue-chang's reaction be when he sees you today?" Li Yue-ran murmured. "Will he be stunned on the spot?"

Yu Nuo finally found her voice and said softly, "Jiang Xue-chang will probably regret letting so many people see how beautiful you are."

Shen Ci was amused by them, and the person in the mirror also smiled, which warmed her originally cold beauty.

Looking at herself in the mirror and at the increasingly bright light outside the window, her heart finally began to beat faster, clearly and steadily.
