Chapter 37 Welcoming the Bride
Wang Wenwen developed independent thinking and decision-making abilities from a young age. She was always able to clearly express her thoughts and firmly pursue her goals. Therefore, at home, her parents usually did not interfere excessively in her personal affairs. However, when Wang Wenwen decided to marry Chen Yu, both of them objected.
Chen Yu is a divorced man, and his marital history made Wang Wenwen's parents very disapproving of the relationship. They believed that Wang Wenwen should choose someone better; with their family's good financial situation, what kind of man couldn't she find? So they spent a long time trying to persuade Wang Wenwen, using every method imaginable—earnest words, heartfelt advice, threats, and inducements.
Nevertheless, Wang Wenwen did not waver in the slightest. After all, Chen Yu was someone she had worked hard to destroy Zhong Xiaoqin's values to get, and she had already become like Chen Yu. How could she give up so easily?
Faced with her parents' strong opposition, Wang Wenwen demonstrated a strong will and determination. Crying and making a scene are common tactics girls use to resist, but her father still resolutely refused.
Just when Wang Wenwen was in trouble, Chen Yu taught her a plan. She decided to use her superb acting skills to soften her parents' hearts. So, she began to deliberately act depressed and melancholic, even faking having depression. Seeing their daughter in such pain, Wang Wenwen's parents were heartbroken and finally relented and agreed to their marriage.
Although her parents eventually agreed to Wang Wenwen's marriage, their expressions remained cold and serious. Wang Wenwen knew, of course, that they still didn't approve of Chen Yu, after all, they had heard that Wang Wenwen had a very good relationship with Chen Yu's ex-wife, and they were also afraid it would affect Wang Wenwen's reputation.
Although Wang Wenwen's parents reluctantly agreed, they didn't give Chen Yu a hard time when he came to visit. Since they couldn't separate anymore, they might as well be on good terms to avoid any trouble caused by their parents after the marriage.
"Xiaoyu, remember when you first went to university, we were on the same train, right?" Wang's father pulled Chen Yu aside and started an awkward conversation.
Chen Yu sat up straight. "I remember, that was the first time we met, and also the first time I met Wenwen."
Mr. Wang continued to recall, "At that time, I thought, you seem to be quite reliable, a good child." He picked up his cup and took a sip of water. "At that time, I also told Wenwen that if she had any urgent matters, she should go to Xiaoyu, he would definitely be able to help."
Wang Wenwen came out of the kitchen with a fruit platter at this moment and overheard the conversation. "Yes, Xiaoyu, my dad said back then that you were very steady and didn't seem like a young man."
Chen Yu thought to himself, "Your dad has a really good eye for people!"
It's just old wine in new bottles!
"I never expected that you two would end up together after all this time. There's no logic to fate."
Chen Yu initially only intended to find Zhong Xiaoqin, but he didn't expect Wang Wenwen to be so persistent. After spending these years together, Chen Yu has completely accepted Wang Wenwen in his heart.
After discussing the time for Chen Yunqiu's visit and enjoying the Wang family's hospitality, Chen Yu left satisfied.
Half a month later, Chen Yunqiu paid a visit.
On the way, Chen Yunqiu kept complaining that Chen Yu couldn't live a good life and was a worry.
Chen Yu thought to himself, "If I hadn't worked so hard when I was a kid, you would have disappeared long ago!"
Chen Yunqiu's trip to the Wang family went relatively smoothly. Both Chen Yunqiu and Wang's father were prominent figures in the area, and they occasionally crossed paths, exchanging nods when they met.
After agreeing on the wedding arrangements, the couple returned to Shanghai, planning to go back to prepare as the wedding date approached.
Back in Shanghai, Zhong Xiaoqin enthusiastically helped Wang Wenwen choose a wedding dress. Neither of them liked overly revealing dresses; they preferred more elegant and dignified styles.
Seeing that the two were wearing wedding dresses, Chen Yu harbored evil intentions and forced them to play games.
The game stipulated that both had to wear wedding dresses, or they would be punished; the less of a dress they wore, the more severe the punishment! The end result was that the two were punished to the point of being covered in wounds, their bodies feeling as if they no longer belonged to themselves. They endured endless pain and torment, every inch of their skin feeling like it was being burned by flames. White blood seeped from their wounds, staining the sheets and dripping onto the floor, forming shocking stains.
The wedding dress was no longer usable, but fortunately there was still time. Wang Wenwen asked Chongxin Department Store to make a new one and make some alterations to address any areas she was not satisfied with.
Chen Yu and Wang Wenwen discussed their wedding for a long time, and in the end, they decided to adopt a more traditional wedding style.
Although Wang Wenwen admired Zhong Xiaoqin's Western-style wedding ceremony, her understanding from childhood was that a more Chinese-style wedding was more in line with her expectations for a wedding.
The wedding time arrived quickly.
Chen Yu, along with Chen Xu and two groomsmen who were his high school classmates, went to the Wang family early to fetch the bride.
After a series of interesting questions and answers, a song that sounded like Chen Xu howling like a wolf, and a shower of red envelopes, they finally managed to knock on the door.
With Wang Wenwen's prompting, Chen Yu successfully found the red wedding shoes under the skirt of one of the most beautiful bridesmaids. Unfortunately, due to the season, it was a cold winter day, and the bridesmaids were all wearing thick pants, so they couldn't show off their long, beautiful legs as expected.
Then came the most exciting moment—carrying the bride away. He gently lifted the beautiful and charming bride, Wang, feeling her light body and warm temperature. Together they embarked on their happy journey home.
The auspicious day has arrived. Although the wedding ceremony wasn't exactly the same as in ancient dramas, it wasn't far off. The bowing, tea ceremony, changing the bride's address to the groom's parents, and the wedding officiant—each step had its significance! It's worth mentioning that Chen Yu called Wang Wenwen's parents over to help him change their address to her. This showed that he valued Wang Wenwen and demonstrated his responsibility and determination towards her parents.
After the wedding ceremony, the couple didn't immediately go to the bridal chamber. Instead, the best man and maid of honor would play pranks on them. Fortunately, everyone present was very civilized, and no vulgar or tasteless behavior occurred; they simply played some simple and fun games.
Some say that if the best man or maid of honor enjoys vulgar wedding pranks, the bride and groom are likely to have the same inclination. Fortunately, in this wedding, everything was so harmonious and civilized, which was heartening.
At noon, Chen Yu chose the city's best hotel to hold the wedding banquet. The hotel boasted an elegant environment, luxurious decor, exquisite cuisine, and attentive service. Holding the wedding here would allow guests to feel the importance the Chen family placed on the occasion.
Meanwhile, Chen Yu also hired a professional emcee to host the wedding and ensure the entire ceremony proceeded smoothly. The emcee's main role was to create a lively atmosphere, allowing everyone to enjoy the joy of the occasion. However, since they had already completed a traditional wedding ceremony at home, this banquet felt more like a celebration party. Although there was no formal wedding ceremony, it didn't diminish their joy in sharing the happiness with family and friends.
That night, Chen Yu and Wang Wenwen lay wearily on the bed decorated with the auspicious phrase "May you have a son soon." Covered with a bright red, festive quilt, Chen Yu glanced at his beautiful bride and then punished Wang Wenwen once more.
