Romance Of Flame And Ice - Chapter 359

She was still admiring herself when guests started trooping in to see her with greetings and good wishes for her marriage, they kept coming after the other and she was now finding it tiring especially since she has to keep smiling.

She lowered her head and sighed in relief after they all left, the celebration hasn’t even started yet she has to meet so many people and even act as if she knows then when in fact she doesn’t even recognise them a bit since most of them are not from her hospital.

But just when she thought it was over, her colleagues at the hospital started trooping in, they kept praising her beauty and the wedding dress while the married ones started going on and on about how they wished they could marry someone as rich as Han Chen then they could have worn a dress as beautiful as hers.

{There is only one Han Chen in this world and he is mine}

She said inwardly while maintaining an outward smile.

They stood behind her to take a group picture then they started asking for individual pictures with her, she then realised that a wedding is not just flowery but it is also stressful especially a big one like this but what can she do about it when her husband to be is too awesome to be ordinary.

She smiled and waved them goodbye while they left for the main hall.

“You have always been pretty but you look extra pretty today,” she heard someone remark.

“Mrs Nanxiang!” she exclaimed.

She is the one person she was hoping to see instead of all the people that just trooped in, she walked towards her with a broad smile on her face then hugged her instead of letting Yu Yan stand up from her seat.

She cupped her face in her hands.

“I am really happy for you,”

The look in her eyes almost brought tears to Yu Yan’s eyes, she is the one who motivated her to keep on going despite the discrimination she got when she first started working at the hospital and now she is looking at her as though she is her mother.

“Thank you,” she muttered.

“Such an emotional scene,” An Ke who is standing at the entrance of the room with the rest remarked, both of them quickly wiped their tears then Mrs Nanxiang climbed down from the short stairs leading to where Yu Yan is seated.

She smiled at them then left while they rushed up to Yu Yan.

“What if you mess up your makeup?” Meng Yao dabbed her face gently with her hanky while the rest chuckled, seeing Yu Yan now, An Ke is seriously considering marriage.

Who wouldn’t be when they have the perfect bride before them.

Li Chen placed his hand over his mouth in speechlessness, he can’t think of any words he could use to describe the beauty before him and it makes him wonder if Han Chen will be able to remain sane when he is standing beside her on the altar.

“You are drooling,” An Ke teased causing them to laugh.

“I don’t think your parents will be coming in any soon cos your entire family are trying to stop your father from bawling his eyes out,”

She already expected it from her father even if Li Chen doesn’t tell her, whenever he speaks of her wedding he ends up in tears so she wasn’t surprised.

“Aunt!” Li Jing and Li Na shouted as they ran into the room.

They widened their eyes in disbelief that the one in the wedding gown and holding a bouquet is actually their aunt.

The friends admired the cute reaction of her niece and nephew so they decided to leave the twins with their aunt.

After they left, Yu Yan stretched out her hand to urge them to come to her, they both look like they are about to cry but they are trying their best to hold it in.

“You had better not cry,” she cautioned whilst tearing up herself, they shook their heads and sniffed their nose in denial then smiled broadly.

“We can still come and see you, right?” Li Na asked

She held their hands.

“Anytime,”

“It is time,” her father said as he stood at the entrance, even from afar she could see his red eyes.

“Dad,” she called

The twins left the room to the hall while her father walked towards her then they linked their arms with her bouquet in her hand as they walked out of the room.

“Dad, you might tear my dress at this rate,” she cautioned jokingly because her dad keeps missing his steps.

“Don’t worry, I won’t spoil your special day,” his voice sounded so mellow that she really feels his sadness in her heart but it is not like she is moving to somewhere far away.

“Are you sure you want to get married?”

“Dad…”

“I am sorry it’s just…”

Before he could finish they met Jia Yu and Mr Jia at the entrance of the aisle, both brides smiled at each other before their fathers led them into the hall.

Everyone turned towards them and they were amazed at the magnificence of their dress, all they could do is stare until the brides’ arrival at the altar.

Han Chen and Ji Chen looked nervous, they could hear each other’s hearts thudding aloud in anxiousness.

Their fathers handed their hands to the guys then they turned to the reverend holding the wedding.

The couples glanced at each other while the reverend started his speech.

His hands fist wet and it makes her wonder just how nervous he is.

“You are really nervous,” she muttered and he hummed in response.

After his speech, he faced the couples then made Jia Yu and Ji Chen say their marriage vows then he turned to Yu Yan and Han Chen.

“Yu Yan, do you take Han Chen to be your wedded husband, for better or worse?” the reverend asked the question she has been waiting for.

Her lips widened into the brightest smile anyone has ever seen on her.

“I, Yu Yan takes Han Chen to be my husband till death do us apart,” she held his hand tightly as they stared into each other’s eyes and she could see his eyes glistening with tears.

“Han Chen, do you take Yu-

“Yes, I promise to love her forever and ever till death do us apart,” he answered even before the reverend could finish his sentence, most people in the hall burst out laughing at his enthusiasm. The ring bearers walked to the altar, the couples exchanged glances before wearing the ring on each other’s fingers with the brides going first then the groom but Yu Yan noticed his hand shaking as he tried to put the ring on her.

Clang!

He dropped the ring.

“I am sorry,” he quickly apologised then started looking for the ring with the help of Jia Yu and Ji Chen while Yu Yan giggled, she is also nervous but she didn’t think he would be this nervous to even drop the ring.

“Found it,” Jia Yu exclaimed then hurried to hand over the ring to Han Chen who took a second attempt at wearing the ring on her finger and succeeded.

“You may kiss the bride,”

Both couples faced each other then raised the veils of their brides, the guys admired the beauty of their brides before they started kissing while the guests cheered them on but two people were trying to hide their laughter as the scene before them brings back memories.

“Don’t you think we have seen this before?” Mrs Jia and Mrs Huo whispered to their husbands as both have encountered their daughters kissing the ones marrying them, the Huo couple remembered the horrible incident they caused all because they were too possessive of their daughter and they almost made her lose the one she loves.

They ended the kiss then turned to the screen displaying pictures of Jia Yu and Ji Chen from their childhood to their couple pictures since abroad, from most of the pictures, it is already clear who pursues who even after a video played.

Jia Yu was chasing after Ji Chen on a field with a ring in her hand while the ones taking the video were laughing.

“Please be my boyfriend,” she kept shouting until he was now tired of running then he accepted to date her but he rejected the ring, the video made her feel really embarrassed especially since everyone is laughing at her including Ji Chen.

She doesn’t need anyone to tell her Meng Yao is the one who included the video in the presentation, she bit her lips then glared daggers at her but Meng Yao looked away before she kills her with a look.

Everyone suddenly turned quiet with their attention focused on Yu Yan and Han Chen pictures being displayed on the screen, his pictures brought more melancholy to the hall than happiness as the family pictures of his family were being displayed then it changed into Yu Yan pictures.

Everyone was astounded to see their teenage pictures together, the cute filters, hugs and childish chasing. No one could have imagined that they had such a long history behind them, her parent and brothers were even more surprised as they had no idea that she was dating someone in high school.
