Chapter 757 - Lin Nuan Felt Nervous for Some Reason
Liang Mulan then edged closer to Lin Nuan and said in a soft voice, “To be able to stand with your back straight before your husband’s family! And not be bullied!”
Liang Mulan sounded light-hearted while saying this. Looking at Lin Nuan’s exquisite facial features, she smiled. “But… with Fu Huai’an by your side, plus the fact that you’re not living with his family, you probably won’t suffer any bullying! I’m not worried about that!”
Lin Nuan nodded.
After she finished sewing the tights, Liang Mulan handed them to Lin Nuan. “Try them on…”
Lin Nuan wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry when she felt the thick stack around the waist of the tights. “Mom, you’ve sewn the waist area to be this thick, I probably won’t be able to put on my wedding dress!”
The waist of the wedding gown was altered precisely to Lin Nuan’s waist size. She could barely put on her stick-on bra, panties, and tights underneath… Now, with such a thick pad at the waist area of the tights, it would be a wonder if she could fit her wedding gown on top.
Although Liang Mulan claimed that she wasn’t worried that Lin Nuan would be bullied, she didn’t go easy on the “lucky money”, making it super thick.
“Hey! I didn’t consider that wedding gowns are custom-fitted to the waist size!” Liang Mulan pursed her lips, then raised her hands to pinch Lin Nuan’s smiling face. “Go take a shower first, then put on a face mask and sleep early. That way, you can be the most beautiful bride tomorrow! Let Mom think about this again!”
Having been busy the entire night, Lin Nuan inevitably felt sleepy. She nodded and took a change of clothes into the washroom…
When Lin Nuan came out of the shower, Liang Mulan was still holding the pair of tights and sitting under the light, thinking hard about how to fix it.
“Mom… why aren’t you turning in yet?” Lin Nuan asked as she bunched up her blow-dried hair.
“You sleep first. Mom will fix this for you!”
Lin Nuan laid on the large, soft bed, then turned her head sideways and saw Liang Mulan take out the “lucky money” she had sewn onto the red fabric. The corners of her lips turned up, a warm feeling filling up her heart.
“Mom, what was it like the night before your wedding?” Lin Nuan, who couldn’t fall asleep, asked as she looked at the gentle Liang Mulan.
Regardless of how many years had passed, women wouldn’t forget what it was like the night before they got married.
After all, the day of the wedding could basically be summarized with two words, “busy” and “messy”. Most newlyweds ended that day in a dazed condition.
Hence, her memory of the night before the wedding was the most vivid.
Liang Mulan looked away from the tights in her hands and smiled at Lin Nuan. “The night before I got married, I finished drinking all of your maternal grandfather’s hidden wine with my friends and fell asleep in the wine cellar. Early the next morning, my family couldn’t find me and went crazy, nearly calling the cops. Later, it was a servant who found my friends and me in the wine cellar…”
Lin Nuan gazed at Liang Mulan with a look of disbelief on her face. She had never imagined that Liang Mulan would have such an experience.
Liang Mulan held the tights in her hands and smiled at Lin Nuan. “Actually, at that time, I might have hoped that I would get drunk like that so that I wouldn’t have to get married…”
Lin Nuan sensed something unusual in Liang Mulan’s words.
Suddenly realizing she might have said something she shouldn’t have, Liang Mulan beamed at Lin Nuan. “I was only twenty-two when I married your father. I didn’t want to resign myself to this. I had yet to even graduate from university, so I was pretty upset!”
Lin Nuan nodded.
“Quickly go to sleep!” Liang Mulan lowered her head and looked at the pair of tights in her hands as she carefully removed the thread she had sewn on earlier.
Lying under her warm sheets and gazing at the gentle Liang Mulan, Lin Nuan’s eyelids began to feel heavier and heavier.
Right before Lin Nuan fell asleep, she remembered that Liang Mulan was still removing the thread under the lighting.
The next morning, Lin Nuan was woken up by Liang Mulan while the skies were still dark.
“Nuan Nuan, hurry and get up! It’s already five in the morning!”
When the alarm went off, Liang Mulan frantically got up and woke Lin Nuan.
The sleepy-eyed Lin Nuan was grabbed by Liang Mulan and shoved into the bathroom by her.
After a hot shower, Lin Nuan, who was putting on a bathrobe amidst the hot steam in the bathroom, saw the reflection of herself in the mirror, water droplets dripping from her long wet hair. She paused. Today… was the day of her wedding with Fu Huai’an.
She suddenly missed Fu Huai’an. Missed his embrace, and especially missed…
If only Fu Huai’an were there!
Lin Nuan felt nervous for some reason. She used a towel to wipe her hair, her fingers trembling a little. Her face flushed, though it wasn’t clear whether it was due to nervousness, anticipation and shyness, or due to the high temperature in the bathroom.
“Thud thud thud…”
Liang Mulan knocked on the door. “Nuan Nuan, are you ready? The makeup artists are already here.”
Lin Nuan hurriedly put on a bathrobe and opened the bathroom door.
Lin Nuan tied the belt around her bathrobe, then laid on the comfortable sofa with a mask while the makeup artist’s assistant helped her blow-dry her hair. Two manicurists sat on each side of Lin Nuan and worked on her nails after she picked out a nail design.
Lin Nuan, who had her eyes shut, bit her lip. She sent Fu Huai’an a message earlier, and she could hear the sound of an incoming message. But, right then, she was stuck there getting her nails done. She very much wanted to look at the message and felt like there was a kitten pawing her heart, giving her an itchy sensation and making her feel awful.
After she was done with her manicure and mask, Lin Nuan finally had the time to look at Fu Huai’an’s message.
Lin Nuan had sent Fu Huai’an a message, asking him if he had woken up.
Opening the message…
‘Fu Huai’an: Miss me already?’
Lin Nuan blushed a little, having been exposed so directly by Fu Huai’an.
Lin Nuan lowered her eyes, and her dense eyelashes lightly fluttered. She typed out a word on her phone screen and sent out the reply.
‘Lin Nuan: Mm…’
Fu Huai’an, who had just stepped out of the shower, picked up his phone and glanced at it, unable to hold back a smile.
It was truly hectic on the day of the wedding. Lin Nuan, who woke up at 5 am, felt that time really flew by. By the time she was done with her makeup and had changed into her wedding gown, it was already 8:30 am.
Lin Nuan wore safety shorts underneath. She had no idea how Liang Mulan had sewed the “lucky money.” Although putting on the leggings underneath her wedding gown felt a little tight, she managed to put it all on after all!
At nine o’clock sharp, the wedding started.
Bai Xiaonian, Xu Wanwan, Xie Jingqian, and Yun Liuli were accompanying Lin Nuan, chatting and laughing. Miss Xia and Fang Yan arrived and were led upstairs by a servant.
Bai Xiaonian, who was in a bridesmaid’s gown, kept looking at her phone. It was already so late, yet Song Yao was still nowhere to be seen. She couldn’t help but feel anger surging upwards within her.
Seeing Xu Wanwan speaking with Lin Nuan, Bai Xiaonian walked to the door and called Song Yao. She was met by a cold and mechanical female voice on the other end, which said that the user had turned off her phone.
Bai Xiaonian frowned very hard…
What was going on with Song Yao? She didn’t even show up the previous night! She had said that she would be at the wedding, but it was already so godd*mn late and yet she was still nowhere to be seen! She even turned off her phone! What was the meaning of this!
The hot-tempered Bai Xiaonian directly sent a message to Song Yao, saying if she didn’t turn up for the wedding that she would cut off ties with her! She meant what she said!
But it was like her message sank into the deep ocean. It was met with no reply!
Bai Xiaonian patted her head. She must have gone dizzy from anger. After all, Song Yao had already turned off her phone, so how could she see the message?
Turning around and preparing to go back, Bai Xiaonian saw Lu Jinnan, who was wearing his best man’s attire and standing at the staircase. It seemed like he had just come upstairs…
