Chapter 338
Ji Qingqing put her arms around his neck, touched the tip of his nose, and asked in a whisper, “When will you pick me up tomorrow?”
“Nine o’clock.”
“Will you come on time?”
“Marriage is such a big thing, I dare not be late.”
Ji Qingqing loosened Lu Lixing’s neck. “Then you go back first. Tomorrow at nine o’clock, I will wait for you to pick me up. Don’t be late.”
“Good.”
Lu Lixing kissed her on the forehead, then opened the door and left.
The moment the door closed, Ji Qingqing stood still for a while. She bit her lip and smiled, then walked to the living room.
“Sister! Congratulations on your marriage!”
Ji Chengqi and Ji Chengyu came out of the second bedroom, holding a three-tiered cake in their hands, which was a huge shock for Ji Qingqing.
“You guys… just now… did you guys just now…”
When Ji Qingqing thought of the kiss between her and Lu Lixing at the door, her cheeks burned furiously.
The two of them pretended to be dumbfounded. “What happened?”
“Didn’t you see it?”
“What?”
Ji Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s nothing.” She smiled and stepped forward to blow out the candles on the cake.
“Thank you.”
After blowing out the candles, Ji Qingqing discovered that the entire apartment was decorated with balloons and roses. Her master bedroom, bedside table, and the floor were full of rose petals.
The whole room was filled with the scent of flowers and Ji Qingqing’s tight body couldn’t help but relax as she took a deep breath.
Ji Chengqi put one hand on Ji Chengyu’s shoulder and said proudly with his head held high, “This was sent by my brother-in-law, and our sister and I helped get it.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s not hard, sister. As long as you like it.”
Ji Chengyu glanced at Ji Chengqi coldly and took a step to the right. Ji Chengqi staggered, lost his center of gravity, and almost fell.
“You’re getting married tomorrow, I won’t bother you to rest.” Ji Chengyu glanced at Ji Chengqi. “You sleep on the floor, I’m going back to my room.””
“Wait, wait.”
Ji Qingqing stopped her. “By the way, what about our parents?”
Ji Chengyu expressionlessly thought for a while and said, “My brother-in-law will send someone for our parents to the hotel tomorrow. Don’t worry, Mother won’t dare to do anything.”
“That’s right, sister, in case you don’t know. Since Mom knew that her brother-in-law was Lu Lixing, she became silent. She had been honest during this period of time because she was afraid that Lu Lixing would trouble her.”
Ji Qingqing smiled softly. “What’s the trouble could he give her?”
“Weren’t you not friendly to Lu Lixing before? She was worried that Lu Lixing would not like her as his future mother-in-law, so she didn’t even dare to make a phone call to him.”
Ji Qingqing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. “I see, you have worked hard today, go and rest.”
“Good night, sister.”
“Good night.”
Ji Chengqi and Ji Chengyu returned to the room after a fight. Ji Qingqing stood at the door of the room, looked at the decorations in front of her, and took out her cell phone to send a picture to Lu Lixing.
“So many roses?”
“Do you like it?”
“I like it.”
With so many roses, she had a feeling that she would be able to get a good night’s sleep tonight.
***
July 20th, the day they have been waiting for, finally arrived.
The makeup artist arrived at Ji Qingqing’s apartment on time. Ji Qingqing had already washed up and sat in front of the makeup mirror full of energy. The makeup artist got into action and started to do her makeup.
The bride’s makeup was much thicker than her daily makeup, something she wasn’t used to. Afterward, the makeup artist helped her change into her wedding dress.
Ji Qingqing looked at herself in the mirror, in a daze for a long time.
Putting on bridal makeup and her wedding dress gave her a real sense that she was a bride about to be married.
She looked at the time on the wall clock on the wall. It was 8:40 a.m.
In twenty minutes, Lu Lixing will be here to come and pick her up at the hotel for the wedding.
Under everyone’s attention, my wedding to Lu Lixing will commence.
The makeup artist smiled and retouched her makeup. “Don’t be nervous, Miss Ji. Mr. Lu will be here soon.”
Ji Qingqing took a deep breath and clasped her hands tightly together. Her palms were full of sweat due to nervousness.
At 8:50 a.m., there was still no movement.
With every second clicking on the wall clock, Ji Qingqing’s heart beat along as if about ready to jump out of her chest.
It wasn’t until five minutes later that they finally heard a small voice outside the door.
“He’s coming!”
Ji Qingqing raised her head and looked in the direction of the door. After a loud noise, Lu Lixing opened the door. He wore a straight suit and held flowers in his hand, walking toward her step by step.
Lu Lixing’s appearance was exactly how she pictured him in her dreams last night, without the slightest deviation.
The two of them stared at each other without noticing the people around them.
Lu Lixing walked to the bed, knelt on one knee in front of Ji Qingqing, and offered her a bouquet of flowers.
“I’m here to pick you up.”
Ji Qingqing glanced at the time of the clock on the wall.
It’s nine o’clock sharp.
One minute and one second, just right.
“Do you want to marry me so much?”
Lu Lixing said, “I dreamed of marrying you last night.”
She took the bouquet. “I also dreamed of marrying you last night.”
Lu Lixing smiled and bowed his head and kissed the back of her hand. He got up and picked her up grandly, walked past the people around them, and went to take her to the wedding she dreamed of last night.
***
Above her head was the starry sky while the ground was covered with fragrant roses. Looking around, she saw various friends and acquaintances shouting blessings. Loud applause sounded in her ears.
Her heart was pounding, yet interestingly enough, at peace.
On the other end of the aisle was Lu Lixing. There was only one person in his eyes, that was, the woman who was standing on the other end wearing a wedding dress and holding flowers.
She was about to become his wife.
He stood there waiting for her like she did when she sat on her bed in the room, waiting for him quietly.
The audience suddenly calmed down.
Ji Qingqing held the flowers and slowly strode toward Lu Lixing step by step.
There were people all around, but there was only one person reflected in her eyes and that was the man standing at the end aisle waiting for her.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
He put his arms around her waist and kissed her lips lightly.
“Me too.”
——The end.
