Kiss of Venus: Chapter 29

   [Previous][Table of Content][Next] 

Li Shen looked at the faded sticker and the corners of his mouth twitched.

At that time he felt that when in love, he could be full just from drinking water. Now, is he still willing to squeeze into a small room with Yu Wan and eat instant noodles? No. He couldn’t bear for Yu Wan to live so miserably with him.

Zhu Gan asked him if he was willing to pursue Yu Wan again. The moment he saw the men’s shirt hanging on Yu Wan’s balcony and wanted to beat someone, he knew that he had thought about it. During his two years in the army, he brooded over how heartless Yu Wan was when she broke up with him. He tried every means to force himself to forget this person.

But he couldn’t do it.

During the six months when he reunited with Yu Wan, he had been doing embarrassing things over and over again. Every time it happened, he would ask himself why he didn’t mature. However, he would still do the same thing again.

He doesn’t want to do this anymore. It’s been so long since they broke up. He doesn’t want to stay stuck in the past.

He flipped the guitar over and lightly strummed the strings, playing a prelude of 《Lily》. Lili heard the sound coming from his room and rushed to his door. Li Shen glanced over and smiled.

Hu Jiao’s wedding is close at hand so Yu Wan had been really busy as of late. Although Zhu Gan said pursuing girls is all about timing, he still had to wait until Hu Jiao’s wedding ended before he can look for Yu Wan.

Li Shen’s guess is correct. Yu Wan has been crazy busy these days. Their company has people who are responsible for decorating the wedding site but because the site is large and complicated, they do not have enough manpower. Thus they had to hire extra assistance. As the chief planner of the wedding, Yu Wan had to supervise every placement. She can overlook any small details.

Because Ten Miles of Mountains and Water is far from A City, everyone booked a hotel nearby a week before the wedding to facilitate the layout of the venue. Hu Jiao’s concern was about the effect of the sky lanterns. After several modifications, Hu Jiao finally gave her nod of approval.

On April 26th, they held their first wedding rehearsal. Mainly, it is for the newlyweds, their parents, best men, and bridesmaids to familiarize themselves with the process. Under the guidance of the host, the rehearsal was carried out step by step. When the best man came on stage to give his congratulations, he frequently forgot his words due to his nervousness.

The best man is Yu Shimin’s close childhood friend. He looked like a fine talented man but when he got on stage, he couldn’t speak well.

Hu Jiao’s brow wrinkled hearing him stumble. After a while, the best man couldn’t continue anymore, “When the time comes, can I read off a script?”

Hu Jiao’s brow jumped. Yu Wan quickly stepped forward, “How about this, I will memorize your speech. During the actual event, I will give you a set of headphones and you just repeat what I say.”

“That works.”

“I’ll ask someone to bring a pair of headphones and we can test it out.” Yu Wan asked a colleague to bring over a pair of headphones and rehearsed it with the best man.

Except for the small situation with the best man, the rehearsal went along smoothly. After returning to the hotel, Yu Wan was too tired to move. Once she touched the bed, she started to doze off.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, the phone in her bag suddenly rang. She rummaged through her bag before she finally found it.

“Hello?”

The person on the other side paused for a moment, “Were you sleeping?”

This voice woke Yu Wan up immediately. She took her phone away from her ears and looked at the screen. The caller was indeed Li Shen.

“No, I just came back to the hotel. I’m just a little tired.”

Li Shen asked, “I saw Hu Jiao’s Moments. Were you guys rehearsing today?”

“Yes.”

“Did it go well?”

“En, it was alright. We have another rehearsal in two days.” Yu Wan walked to the sofa and sat down, “You seem to be busy with work lately. Will you be able to make it on the 29th?”

“En. My schedule is free that day. I don’t need to record.”

Yu Wan laughed, “It seemed Miss Hu’s reputation is quite big.”

Li Shen also laughed, it sounded more enchanting in the silent night.

“By the way, I called to tell you Zhu Gan proposed today.”

Yu Wan straightened up, “Really? Was it a success?”

“Yes. His girlfriend really liked the layout of the site, especially the coral pink dessert table.”

“Haha, that’s good. When’s the wedding?”

“June. But when he heard you took a 30 million dollar case, he didn’t dare to find you to plan the wedding.”

“Hahaha, it’s not that exaggerated.”

“You don’t have to worry about their wedding, just concentrate on your stuff.” Li Shen said. Lili walked over and as if she knew Yu Wan was on the other end, kept barking at the phone.

“Is it Lili? She sounds so energetic.”

Li Shen held down Lili so as not to disturb the other person, “En, she started barking in the middle of the night. It seemed that she really wanted to turn into a hotpot.”

“.....” So cruel. “Don’t scare her.”

“Woof woof!”

Li Shen chuckled, “Her courage is too big now, she’s already out of control.”

“Woof woof!”

“I’m going to educate Lili so I won’t disturb you anymore. You rest early.”

“Okay, you too.”

“En.” After a while, Li Shen continued, “I’ll see you on the 29th.”

Yu Wan felt that there was nothing wrong with his farewell since they are going to see each other at Hu Jiao’s wedding on the 29th. But her heart has an inexplicable fuzzy feeling.

It’s probably because it is the evening which can make people emotional.

“En.” She answered and ended the call. It’s really strange. After talking with Li Shen, her fatigue has subsided.

Yu Wan smiled and went to take a shower.

The second rehearsal was faster than the first. Everything went smoothly but Yu Wan was worried about the newlywed’s nerves.

Many brides will feel anxious before their wedding. In the most serious case, they may even want to back out of the wedding. One time, before the ceremony started, one bride grabbed her arm and told her she did not want to get married.

To prevent this from happening, Yu Wan thought to care for the couple’s mental health in advance.

Hu Jiao and Yu Shimin are staying in Ten Miles of Mountains and Water tonight. The wedding car tomorrow would only be driven for a while around just for show. As per customs, the two will be sleeping separately. Yu Wan first called Hu Jiao with the intention of confirming tomorrow’s schedule. Hu Jiao quickly answered and directly asked her to come to her room.

Hu Jiao is staying in the best accommodation in Ten Miles of Mountains and Water. After Yu Wan found the room, she knocked on the door and heard Hu Jiao call from inside, “The door is unlocked, come in.”

“Okay, sorry to disturb you, Miss Hu.” Yu Wan pushed the door open and walked into the living room. She saw Hu Jiao with a face mask on and her fingers flying across the keyboard.

Hu Jiao didn’t even look at her, her eyes glued on the screen, “I’m playing with Shimin right now. You sit down first.”

Yu Wan, “.....”

She felt that the newlywed’s mental state is fine. However, she feels that someone should worry about her instead.

“By the way, don’t you have a game account as well? Do you want to log in? Shimin and I are holding another wedding ceremony with a different account. We have prepared 9,999 99.99* gift packs. You can also get one.”

T/N: Nine sounds like long-lasting and eternity.

Yu Wan, “.....”

I should take my leave.

Yu Wan briefly chatted with Hu Jiao and reminded her to rest early before she left.

On the wedding day, Yu Wan woke up at 5 in the morning to help the bride get ready. Because during the ceremony, she would be wearing the traditional wedding dress in the game, Hu Jiao specially dyed her blond hair back to black.

The bride always takes the longest to get ready. Yu Wan saw the sky change from dawn to sunrise before Hu Jiao finished dressing up.

After they completed the step of fetching the bride, the groom started to greet the guests who came one after another while the bride returned to the dressing room and changed into her second wedding dress.

The photographers and videographers hired for the wedding documented her throughout the entire process. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, Yu Wan went out to look around the entire venue again.

After walking around for a while, Yu Wan was shocked by the guests that came. Although she had already prepared in her heart that the wedding is very high profile and many stars will be in attendance, it is still very shocking to see it with her own eyes.

Yu Wan doesn’t usually chase stars so she doesn’t know many celebrities. There are many people who look like celebrities but she couldn’t recall their names. However, the very famous ones in the entertainment industry, she can recognize.

“Yu Wan, come here!” Zhao Xin walked over to her with a glass of red wine in hand, “Gosh, I thought that I was dreaming the last time I saw Li Shen. But today, I feel more like I am dreaming!”

Yu Wan nodded, “En, it is a little surreal….”

“Right!” Zhao Xin excitedly motioned for her to look around, “Do you see, it’s Emperor Mo Zhen! It’s been a while since he made an appearance at a domestic event! It goes to show Huanyu’s influence is big!”

Yu Wan asked, “Who is Mo Zhen talking to? Is he also a star?”

“No, that is Huanyu’s shareholder, Song Nanchuan! Don’t you know, his wife is Pei Ying!”

“Oh, I know. She was in a movie with Mo Zhen.”

“Yes, yes. Yu Kaize and Wen Ke are also here. Li Shen will also be coming. The crew of 《The Last Journey》are coming together!”

Yu Wan’s lips twitched, “Didn’t Li Shen only sing the theme song? That also counts as being part of the crew?”

“Yes, why not!”

“.....” Okay.

“Ahh, it’s a pity I can’t ask for an autograph! No, I need to take some pictures secretly!” Zhao Xin finished and energetically walked away.

Yu Wan laughed. She didn’t pay any more heed to the celebrities and wandered around the site. After confirming everything is going smoothly with the staff of various departments, Yu Wan prepares to go back to Hu Jiao. She suddenly heard someone calling her, “Yu Wan.”

Yu Wan turned around and saw Li Shen dressed in a suit standing behind her.

This is the second time she saw Li Shen at a wedding since she returned from abroad. He is dressed differently from last time. Yu Wan didn’t expect that he would wear a Chinese-style garment to match the newlywed’s attire.

“Are you busy?” Li Shen asked.

Yu Wan nodded her head and said, “En, I’m going to see how Miss Hu is doing.”

Li Shen lightly nodded, “Then you go do your thing. I will talk to you later when you have the chance.”

“Okay.” Yu Wan surveyed him and smiled, “You look good today.”
