Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

That evening, Xiao Mei knocked on Tang Junyao's door, and half an hour later, she went to her room on the first floor with slightly red eyes.

Lan Yunxi and Tang Junyao slept in the same room. Lan Yunxi was a good sleeper and didn't move around much, but she still asked to sleep with separate blankets, just in case. This was her little nephew or niece, and she couldn't afford any accidents.

Tang Junyao looked at Xixi, who was busy making the bed, and felt very emotional. She was getting married, and Xixi was already dating.

Lan Yunxi recalled the scene when Xiao Mei's eyes were red when she came in. "Sis, why was that girl crying? Did she do something wrong?"

Tang Junyao was already sitting in the bright red quilt. Aunt Zhang said that the custom here was to sleep in the bride's quilt for one night. Her phone rang at an inopportune moment. It was a message from Ji Hancheng: Wife, are you feeling unwell? If you are, I'll come over. We don't need to worry about those customs.

Tang Junyao smiled and said to Xixi, "She didn't make a mistake, she almost did, but she managed to stay on the edge and did a good deed in time."

As Lan Yunxi tidied the quilt, she said, "Aunt Zhang said this bridal quilt is for married people. It's already great that I can sleep in your bed beforehand and feel the bride's presence. I can't sleep in the quilt, and besides, it's not like I'm getting married."

Tang Junyao smiled, didn't say anything, and replied to the message: I'm not feeling unwell, Hancheng, you really don't need to be nervous. I'll tell you if I'm not feeling well.

Ji Hancheng: Okay, then take good care of yourself and don't lift heavy things.

She's just getting married; where is she going to carry heavy things? And Lele can't even hold her.

Tang Junyao replied: I understand, Aunt Ji.

I suddenly miss Ji Hancheng's annoying, punchable look.

After spreading out the blankets, Lan Yunxi crawled in and sat next to Tang Junyao, gossiping, "Sis, Aunt Zhang said that young lady is dating Assistant Xu?"

"Yeah, we just found out too. We haven't even been together for a month yet, but it should be a full month now. What's wrong? Do you have any thoughts?" Tang Junyao could see a lot of thoughts in Lan Yunxi's eyes, her small eyes blinking.

Wanting to express her opinion, she glanced at the door and lowered her voice, saying, "Sis, it's not that I don't think they're a good match, I'm just saying, but I feel like they can't be together forever."

Upon hearing this, Tang Junyao narrowed her eyes and frowned as she looked at her. "How do you know? You've only been dating for a short time, yet you can tell?"

Lan Yunxi's legs were curled up under the covers, her hands resting on her knees, her chin propped up by her palms. She looked at Tang Junyao with a serious expression as she analyzed, "This young lady is too timid, but she seems kind. However, love requires courage. If you don't encourage yourself enough, you won't last. If one of you is always backing down, won't it just not last?"

"You're quite the smooth talker. It seems you're having a good time dating Han Yue lately. Why didn't he come to see you tonight?" Logically, he should be very clingy.

"Because I want to be with you, Yue-ge is very sensible." Lan Yunxi praised, tilting her chin up.

Only Xixi could praise Han Yue like that; his maturity was probably only for Xixi, a unique quality he possessed.

The next morning, birds sang sweetly, the air was fresh, and the first thing you saw when you opened your eyes was a joyful atmosphere.

The makeup artist was waiting downstairs early. Before Tang Junyao even got up, Su Xue and Han Guoguo had already arrived.

She's downstairs getting her bridesmaid makeup done, wearing the champagne-colored dress she chose last time. Han Guoguo's collarbone-length hair is braided into little pigtails.

The hairdresser tidied up Su Xue's hair and tied it up about a third of the way down.

The lively sounds downstairs prompted the person in bed to quickly get up. After getting dressed, Lan Yunxi looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Sis, this size is just right! Your designer is really amazing."

Tang Junyao really wanted to say that Han Yue had given her the size, but then she thought better of it and decided not to say it. She didn't want to be embarrassed if Xixi found out.

The main problem was that she genuinely didn't know of any other way for a man to know a woman's measurements.

There was a knock on the door. It was Aunt Zhang. "Yaoyao, are you up? The makeup artist and the others are here, and Miss Su and the others are downstairs too."

"Godmother, I'm up. Could you ask Su Xue and the others to come up and help me?" Tang Junyao called out towards the door.

"Okay, slow down, don't rush."

"I understand." There was no more of Aunt Zhang's voice outside the door; she must have gone downstairs.

Soon after, Su Xue and Han Guoguo came up. Both of them had applied exquisite makeup and looked very beautiful. Both Su Xue and Han Guoguo were naturally good-looking.

Su Xue was especially happy. Always fond of lively gatherings, she pushed open the door and looked around. Han Guoguo and Su Xue were kindred spirits. If they had met earlier, Tang Junyao might not have had anything to do with her.

As soon as they entered, the two of them huddled together, examining the colors of the mandarin ducks. Tang Junyao was quite exasperated. "What did I send you here for? To examine my mandarin ducks?"

"Did you two forget to put GPS trackers on yourselves when you came? And where did you set them to?"

Su Xue quickly said with a smile, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. You're pregnant, you should be as happy as I am, right, Guoguo, Xixi?"

Han Guoguo: "Yes, look at Xiaoxue, the pregnant woman, how happy she is. Today is like her wedding day, her face is beaming."

Han Guoguo reminded Xixi, "Xixi, when Ji Hancheng comes to pick up the bride later, we have to extort as much as we can. Today, your Yue-ge is on the opposite side, so you can't side with your enemy, you hear me? Let's extort as much as we can so we can have fun when we go out."

Lan Yunxi nodded, "OK, I promise I won't let you down."

Su Xue: "If I make the best man do a task, you can't feel bad about it."

Tang Junyao: "Shouldn't you say that to yourself first? Are you sure your defection speed can automatically slow down?"

Su Xue raised her chin confidently, "What are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I know the situation."

The three nodded in unison, but there was still some lingering unease in their eyes about Su Xue. After all, she had been quite love-struck lately, constantly talking about Xiao Nan.

The wedding dress was put on Tang Junyao, and the three of them carefully helped her adjust it and put on the veil.

Tang Junyao glanced at Su Xue's belly and earnestly reminded her, "Xiao Xue, there are a lot of people today, I can't take care of you. Take care of yourself and be careful with your belly."

"I know, my dear bride, I promise," Su Xue said solemnly.

After Han Guoguo saw that Tang Junyao had given the instructions, she began to pay extra attention to Su Xue. Whenever someone approached Su Xue, she would carefully protect her and stand in front of her, like a personal bodyguard.

The makeup artist finished Tang Junyao's makeup, and the hairstylist styled her hair. The stylist couldn't help but compliment her, "Mrs. Ji, you look beautiful. Are you satisfied with this makeup?"

She glanced at the makeup mirror. It was pretty good; the color was subtle and not too heavy. She didn't like heavy makeup anyway, so this was just right. "Okay, very good, thank you."

Makeup artist: "It's what we should do. Before we came, Master Ji repeatedly told us that we had to satisfy you."

Tang Junyao didn't respond to this, but simply smiled as a polite reply.

The stylist took the veil off and set it aside. Then, she used a curling iron to create a natural curly hairstyle, loosened the top of the head slightly, and braided it into a bridal hairstyle. She then adorned the side with a sparkling rhinestone headpiece.

Two slightly curled bangs naturally fall down on both sides of the face, and after being styled, a veil is put on.

Perfectly completed.

Tang Junyao gestured to Lan Yunxi with her eyes. Upon receiving her sister's message, Lan Yunxi took out two red envelopes from Tang Junyao's red bag and handed them to the makeup artist and hairstylist respectively. "Take these, for good luck and to share in the joy. I hope you will have a smooth and prosperous future with endless happiness."

The two women felt awkward refusing to accept this, so they could only say thank you, "Thank you, Mrs. Ji."

"Of course."

Although she knew that Ji Hancheng had definitely already paid her, she wanted to ensure the wedding was auspicious and didn't want to appear stingy. She would have to consider the Ji family's interests in the future.

Then it was time to wait for the groom to come and pick up the bride. Han Guoguo and Su Xue sat next to Tang Junyao, searching online for ways to prank someone. "Guoguo, have you found any yet? Hurry up, how could we forget about this?"

Han Guoguo looked excited. "Don't rush, we're looking for it. This isn't my first time being a bridesmaid, did you know there were such fun activities? Come on, come on! Yaoyao, Xixi, hurry up, Yaoyao, you're on our side today!"

Tang Junyao pledged her loyalty, saying, "I understand, ladies. Do whatever you want, I'll watch and I promise to cooperate."

Han Guoguo said, "That's right, that's right, but you can't say it was our idea after it's all over."

Tang Junyao: "............." You really have the will but not the courage.

Su Xue: "Hahahaha, you're killing me with laughter. Is it really that serious? Are you afraid of your brother or Ji Hancheng? It's definitely not afraid of our Xiao Nan."

Han Guoguo changed the subject, "I found it, I found it! What do you think of this? I'll read it to you. It's about the groom listing 10 good qualities of the bride..."

Su Xue interrupted, saying that based on her current understanding of Ji Hancheng, he could list at least 10 or 100 good qualities about Yao Yao. "Do you have some misunderstanding about the groom-to-be? Would you believe me if I said he could list 10 times more of Yao Yao's good qualities?"

Han Guoguo looked at Tang Junyao, who nodded in agreement, saying it was too simplistic; Ji Hancheng could praise her so easily now.

Han Guoguo immediately ruled it out, "Okay, then I'll try another one. Forget it, Ji Hancheng will definitely be okay with tongue twisters too, he's too versatile. Or let's hide the bride's shoes, and once we find them, we'll take Yao Yao away."

Given that Ji Hancheng is too clever and has already made this decision, it's really hard to think of any other way to get back at him. Another reason is that Su Xue is still worried, after all, the wedding is coming up and she's afraid of being retaliated against, so she doesn't dare to offer any suggestions. Xi Xi doesn't really want to make things difficult for her brother-in-law, because her brother-in-law is a good person.

Finally, a series of pranks for the best men were finalized. Looking at the long list, Lan Yunxi and Tang Junyao both shook their heads helplessly. Today's best men were going to be a bit of a hassle.
