The day before the wedding was spent on the wedding gown fitting and makeup trial. At night, Lin Xinyan could not fall asleep as Zong Jinghao was not by her side, and so she ended up sleeping past eight in the morning.
There was a custom that, on the day before the wedding, the bride and the groom were not allowed to see each other. Therefore, Zong Jinghao had not been home the previous day and had stayed in a hotel instead.
The makeup artist and stylist had already reached the villa long ago. Qin Ya ran upstairs to Lin Xinyan, who was still deep in slumber, and dragged her out of bed. “How can you sleep in on your wedding day?”
Lin Xinyan sleepily opened her eyes. “It’s not time yet, is it?”
“So do you plan to show up to the wedding hall in your pajamas? Get up quickly, everyone’s waiting for you!” Qin Ya said, exasperated.
Lin Xinyan rubbed her eyes. “What time is it?”
“It’s almost nine. You haven’t gotten your makeup done nor have you changed. If you don’t want to get married, I’ll give your husband a call,” Qin Ya teased.
Lin Xinyan went to wash her face. It was only then that she finally felt awake. Qin Ya dragged her out of the room. “Let’s go, the makeup artist is waiting.”
“There’s still time- there’s no need to rush. It’s not like he’ll be able to escape,” Lin Xinyan joked.
Qin Ya stopped in her tracks. “Who?” She asked, confused.
“Jinghao,” Lin Xinyan replied matter-of-factly.
Qin Ya placed her hand on her forehead with an exasperated smile. “You’re pretty confident, huh?”
Lin Xinyan laughed. “I’m just kidding. Let’s go.”
She went back to brush her teeth and went downstairs.
Qin Ya observed her quietly. If only Zong Jinghao could see her now.
I wonder what he would say if he saw how nonchalant she is about this whole affair.
Zong Yanchen and Zong Yanxi were the flower boy and flower girl, so they had to dress up and get their makeup done as well.
Zhou Chunchun had also come to help. While the makeup artist was working on Zong Yanxi, she was helping Zong Yanchen into his tuxedo. The suit was tailored perfectly according to his measurements and everyone said he looked like a cute gentleman with his white shirt and black bow tie.
“Hi, Xinyan.” Zhou Chunchun greeted Lin Xinyan when she came downstairs.
She smiled in response.
“Go get your hair done first.” The makeup artist was busy, so Qin Ya got the stylist over.
He had been ready since long ago and was just waiting for Lin Xinyan. As soon as she sat down, he got out the curlers and started working on her hair.
First, he gathered all her hair and put it up, leaving a few locks at her temples and curling them. Then, he braided her hair with skillful braiding techniques and finished it off in an updo.
Qin Ya got the crown out from the secret box and handed it to the stylist.
His eyes shone. “I’ve worked with many brides before and I have seen many crowns. While many of them were made with real diamonds, this is the first time I’ve seen one made with this many and they are so big and of such high quality. It’s simply gorgeous,” He gushed. “It doesn’t look like it was made locally. With this quality, it has to be made overseas.”
