Chapter 1282: Wedding 4
"It’s a new era now. Children should decide their own marriages. No rush," Ruan Lingyu replied with a smile to everyone’s comments.
The matter of urging the marriage was conducted privately within the family. In front of others, Ruan Lingyu maintained an unhurried demeanor, which left the others with no more to say after hearing her words.
Ruan Feng glanced at the time and said, "It’s getting late. Xiaonan, take Mianmian back!"
The wedding couple should not miss the auspicious time, and they must depart from the bride’s home in advance.
Upon hearing this, He Nan found shoes for Shen Mianmian to wear, bent down to pick her up, and carried her away. Apart from the few who were in on it, everyone else was surprised. Generally, it’s the brother who carries the bride to the car, and this was the first time they had seen a groom do it.
Especially Cheng’s mother, who had been looking for an opportunity to butt in, couldn’t help but say, "My! Why did He Nan carry her himself? Normally, it’s the brother who carries the bride to the car."
"This precedent starts here."
Ruan Yiqian’s remark effectively silenced Cheng’s mother.
Cheng’s mother was upset and rolled her eyes, but she didn’t dare to say more. She knew that making a scene on a day like this would mean she would never be welcome at this household again, so she wisely kept quiet.
Cheng Xining’s face had been somber all along. She thought she could accept He Nan marrying Shen Mianmian with composure, but seeing He Nan say things he never said before and do things he never did before, her heart ached as though it was being carved out with a knife.
Ever since she was young, she had always liked He Nan. Even though she had dated many boyfriends later on, only she knew that she had never really liked any of them; her feelings had never changed.
Many times, she had wished that Shen Mianmian had never appeared. Then He Nan would surely have married her, and she would be the bride now. But everything was impossible at this point.
