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

Early the next morning.

Makeup artists and stylists arrived at Deep Water Bay early, each carrying a large suitcase.

Lan Yunxi was so excited and expectant that she got up on her own before the alarm clock could wake her. She was sitting in a chair getting her hair and makeup done. Tang Junyao had brought Xiaoyouzi with her. Her two daughters were placed at home and looked after by their mother-in-law and grandfather, because they were really afraid that the two daughters would ruin their sister's wedding.

The Ji family will also be attending the wedding, and they will bring the two little ones with them. Tang Junyao doesn't need to worry about that; she can absolutely trust Yuan Shu's ability to handle things.

Tang Junyao was a little worried about whether the program she arranged for the two little ones was reliable. When Xixi suggested arranging a program for her two daughters, she was against it. After all, it was her younger sister's wedding, and she was afraid of messing it up. However, Ji Hancheng believed in his two daughters' abilities and said it was a piece of cake. Even Han Yue agreed that there would be no problem, and Han Guoguo strongly supported it.

With so many people in agreement and only her opposing, she ultimately lost out, with the minority yielding to the majority.

Yan Feifei had already changed into her bridesmaid dress, a light purple tulle dress, a dreamy and romantic strapless style, paired with a pair of white high heels.

Yan Feifei's hair wasn't tied up; it was casually draped over her shoulders. She had simply styled it a bit, curling it with a curling iron and applying conditioner to her hands. She didn't need any help from a stylist. Then, she fastened three long hair clips side by side on one side, snapped her fingers in satisfaction at the mirror, and said, "Not bad, I look so good."

Hearing this, everyone laughed, except Han Guoguo, who rolled her eyes at Yan Feifei and said, "You're really wasting resources, what a waste of your looks. Why doesn't anyone pursue you?"

"How would I know? Maybe they think I'm too beautiful and don't deserve the beauty of this fairy." Yan Feifei shamelessly tossed her hair.

Han Guoguo: "Tsk tsk tsk, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless."

Tang Junyao was helping her younger sister fix her hair, standing by her side the whole time, just in case her sister felt uncomfortable or something. Xiao Youzi, on the other hand, was sitting on the bed playing a game with Han Yue's controller, her movements clumsy.

"Xixi, don't be nervous. The most nervous person today is definitely my brother. His palms are probably sweating right now. Just relax and wait for my brother to come and marry you."

"I'm not nervous. Why didn't you bring Can Can along? I wanted to get to know him and make friends with him."

Han Guoguo knew that Xixi was referring to Cancan not letting her hold her. Children are all like that; they become unfamiliar with each other after a long time apart. But they are easy to coax and get used to each other quickly. She patted Xixi's shoulder and said, "It's no big deal. When you graduate and come to the capital, you can stay at home every day. Cancan won't be too clingy to you. Don't worry."

With three children, Can Can being the eldest, it seems she needs to start planning for a second child, Han Guoguo thought to herself.

"Okay, hey, where's Xuxu? I can't find her." Lan Yunxi turned her head and looked around the room, noticing that Tong Xuxu was missing.

Yan Feifei was still looking in the mirror, being incredibly vain. She kept patting her face with a cushion foundation and dabbing her lipstick. "She's in the room. When I finished changing, I asked her if she needed any help. She said no and told me to come out first, so I came out. I thought she was going to be shy."

Lan Yunxi seemed to understand, and turned to Tang Junyao beside her, saying, "Sister, could you go check on Xuxu for me? She... might not be able to handle it."

"Okay, I'll call Xiaoxue. She probably overslept; she's still not here." He dialed Su Xue's number as he left, not giving her a chance to speak. "You came on a snail bike?"

Su Xue, panting, said, "We're at the door! We're at the door! You really don't know how fast I drive!"

Hearing her best friend say she was at the door, Tang Junyao instructed, "Keep an eye on Xixi for me, I'm going to help Xuxu."

"Alright, I'll be there soon, go ahead." After hanging up the phone, Su Xue said to her daughter, whom she was holding hands with, "Yueyue, your godmother is even more impatient than your mother now. No wonder she had two daughters. Sigh, she's in a hurry to have daughters."

Little Strawberry didn't understand what her mother meant, but she smiled slightly, as if she had gotten used to the way her mother and godmother interacted.

Tang Junyao stood at the door and knocked. "Xuxu, may I come in?"

Tong Xuxu's voice came from inside, "Sister Yaoyao, come in."

The door opened, and Tang Junyao closed it again, noticing that Tong Xuxu hadn't changed his clothes. "Do you feel awkward?"

It wasn't too bad that she was awkward, but the strapless top made Xu Xu's skin crawl. She scratched her short hair awkwardly and asked, "Sis, is there any way to cover this... this exposed part up, Mom?"

Tang Junyao picked up the light purple bridesmaid dress from the bed, thought for a moment, and realized that this strapless dress might be a bit difficult for Xuxu, who doesn't usually wear dresses. She handed the dress to Xuxu, saying, "Xuxu, put this on first, and I'll see if I can help you."

"Thank you, sis."

Su Xue immediately picked up her daughter and placed her next to Xiao Youzi, asking her future son-in-law to take good care of his daughter, "Lele, take good care of your little sister." She wasn't entirely without manners, though she didn't say anything about taking good care of his wife.

Han Guoguo stood to the side, genuinely afraid that Su Xue would blurt out "son-in-law." Usually, she would fantasize about Tang Junyao's son at the Su family home. Xiao Youzi's handsomeness perfectly matched Su Xue's standards for a son-in-law. Su Xue would praise him to the skies every day, and every time she did, Lu Jinnan's face would turn as black as the bottom of a pot.

Little Yuzu responded calmly, "Okay." Then she handed the other controller to Little Strawberry, silently teaching her younger sister how to play the game.

Little Strawberry smiled and started to imitate her.

Lan Yunxi's hair was done. The stylist followed Han Yue's instructions and didn't do anything too complicated. He simply tucked the hair on both sides back, casually placed two strands of curly hair on both sides around her cheeks, and put a custom-made crown and veil on her head.

With her light makeup and pure white outfit, she looked every bit the princess. Su Xue couldn't help but exclaim, "She's so beautiful. Is your Yue-ge planning to marry her like a princess?"

Three months have passed, and her belly is slightly visible. The wedding dress was custom-made to fit Xixi's body proportions and was designed by Tang Junyao Wedding Dress's chief designer. It's a Disney-style white wedding dress with a puffy skirt and the waistline was moved up a few centimeters, so it doesn't feel constricting at all.

Han Yue's meticulousness is evident in every detail.

The dress features puff sleeves and is adorned with sparkling, luxurious diamonds.

Perhaps this is one of the advantages of having a husband who owns a jewelry company.

Wearing a wedding dress, Lan Yunxi looked like a princess from a fairy tale. Her flowing veil and sparkling crown, studded with countless diamonds, stunned everyone present, especially Han Guoguo, who exclaimed, "My god, my brother has such a sharp eye! She looks so beautiful!"

Lan Yunxi also really liked the wedding dress Han Yue had prepared, her eyes crinkling with delight, "I think it looks pretty too."

Yan Feifei approached and touched the hem of the wedding dress, leaning in like an old lady with presbyopia. Her focus wasn't on Xixi's beauty, but on the diamonds on the hem. "This isn't about liking or looking good; it's like money is falling from every single bead on it." This isn't a wedding; it's all about flaunting money.

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open, interrupting Yan Feifei's exclamation.

Tang Junyao led Tong Xuxu in. It was Tong Xuxu's first time wearing a dress, and every cell in her body was stiff with awkwardness as she followed behind. As soon as they entered, Yan Feifei noticed the white bow on her chest. "Wait, why is your dress different from mine? Why don't I have this bow? Are they different styles?"

Lan Yunxi knew the reason as soon as she saw the bow on Tong Xuxu's veil. It must have been her sister's idea. Yan Feifei had chosen the bridesmaid dresses, and when she showed them to Xuxu, Xuxu said that they could be made according to the other bridesmaid's preferences.

"No doubt about it, this is a re-processed dress. This is the first time in my life I've ever worn a dress. I've been dressed as a boy ever since I was wearing open-crotch pants." She always wore clothes that her brother had taken off. She had never worn a dress before.

"Xixi, I won't wear these high heels. I'm afraid I'll fall and it will affect your wedding ceremony." Tong Xuxu glanced at Yan Feifei's high heels, subconsciously felt pain in her feet, and her feet, which were tucked inside the shoes, curled up slightly.

Lan Yunxi hurriedly said, "Oh dear, I forgot to tell you, I bought you new white sneakers, they're in the closet in my room, go get them."

Tong Xuxu wasn't one to hold grudges, so she readily agreed, "OK, I'll go get it then. You can continue getting dressed."

"Okay, sure."

After Tong Xuxu left, the makeup artist suggested, "Ms. Lan, I think your friend is actually quite pretty, with very defined features. She could wear a wig, like a simple bob or a wolf tail, which would look great. She's already quite pretty, but her androgynous style has overshadowed her natural beauty, and everyone's attention is focused on her buzz cut."

Makeup artists and stylists are always the best at discovering a person's strengths and weaknesses, and they are also the best at making adjustments.

"Then I'll ask her later." Lan Yunxi didn't immediately agree to the makeup artist's request.

Tang Junyao helped Lan Yunxi sit down on the bed and comforted her, "Weddings are busy, and it's normal to forget some things or not be able to take care of everything. They won't mind, so don't worry. Xuxu just said in the room that she was very happy to attend your wedding."

While Tang Junyao was helping Tong Xuxu with the bow, Tang Junyao casually said, "If you really don't like wearing dresses, you can tell Xixi. Although Xixi really wants you to be her bridesmaid, she won't force you or make you feel uncomfortable."

Tong Xuxu replied, "Sister, Xixi should have told you about my family, right?"

Tang Junyao nodded without speaking. Tong Xuxu continued, "Xixi's family is at the top of the pyramid, but she has never been arrogant or looked down on anyone. While everyone else thought my clothes were weird, Xixi was the only one who didn't think so. Instead, she thought I was cool and took the initiative to befriend me. She is really nice, sincere, and genuine. She calls me whenever there is something good. I would never hesitate to wear a skirt or even be on the front line."

"Xixi, it's so great to have a friend like you. Keep it up, you'll get better and better." Xixi's sincerity was reciprocated by Xuxu's sincerity.
