After a long and restless wait which had everybody on toes, the special day when the wedding bells would chime in celebration, arrived. It was a hustle and bustle at the Liu villa where the wedding preparations were in full swing and keeping everybody busy.
Laughter and bliss traveled in the atmosphere but inside a certain room, the aura of a dark and brooding father was ready to kill the groom at any moment.
Jian slightly wiped his forehead and tried to smile. "Un-uncle Liang. How are you-" This content belongs to NoveI~Fire.net
"How will I be on the day of my precious daughter's wedding!"
Leina's younger brother, Xu Yuhan, gave him a thumbs up and only left his fate to God. He even made a prayer gesture to acknowledge this.
Jian inwardly gritted his teeth.
Aren't you becoming my brother-in-law today! Shouldn't you be helping me out!?
Jian cleared his throat. "O-Of course you will be really sad-"
"Sad? Only sad!? I am devastated! How dare you make my precious Leina have the thought of wearing a wedding gown!?" His reddened eyes were tearing up. "I have to walk down the aisle with her today…"
"But if I shoot you, then I won't have to anymore, right?"
Jian quickly checked for any bulge of gun across his body. He sheepishly grinned, trying to touch his father-in-law. "Stay far away from me, you daughter stealer! What hypnosis did you do to my daughter that she agreed to marry you!?"
He sheepishly grinned again. "The hypnosis of love~"
Jian pulled back and shut his mouth.
Xu Liang looked back at his son, wiping his tears. "How is it going with Leina? Did she agree to run away?"
Jian felt his heart burst in his chest. "Uncle Liang! I will die if Leina runs away!" He cried.
Liang threw him a glare. "Do you think I care about your life!?"
"What is going on here?"
Liang's wife, Xu Ah Cy, stepped in at the right moment as if a messiah had appeared.
"Aunt!!!" Jian found his salvation and dove straight to hug her. "Aunt, only you can stop Uncle from destroying my wedding with Leina! Save meeeee!"
"Liu Jian! You dare poison my wife's ears against me!?" He would have beaten him into a pulp had Yuhan not stopped him.
Ah Cy pouted and pinched Jian's cheeks. "Didn't I tell you to start calling me Mom?"
Jian burst into tears. "Mom…"
Liang's gaze darkened. "No need!"
Ah Cy smacked her husband on his head. "I knew you would be up to no good! Today is Leina's wedding! You should be giving blessings to her, not talking about shooting the groom and planning a runaway plan for her! Shameless!"
She harrumphed and patted Jian's head. "Don't worry. Liang will definitely walk Leina down the aisle. So you can be rest assured because I have Liang and my divorce papers ready in case he tries funny to break your wedding," she warmly smiled.
Liang felt a ruthless arrow drive straight through his chest. "A-Ah Cy…this betrayal…y-you will divorce me?"
Yuhan consoled his father pitifully.
"If you don't stop being the bone in your own daughter's wedding, then yes," she narrowed her eyes. "You also know that Jian is the perfect man to keep our daughter happiest. She will be very happy in his family too, who already treasure her like their own daughter. As her parents, what more do we want?"
Liang mumbled something inaudibly to which Jian cautiously stepped closer to him and smiled. "Mom is right. I will never let Leina cry."
"I will be a good husband and always protect her smile and happiness," he sincerely said.
"That's also a given!"
"She would be showered with so much love that it will be hard for her to contain it~"
"That's also a given given!"
"So since Leina will be just as loved, happy and protected with me as she was with you, can I call you Dad?"
Liang flashed a razor sharp vicious glare at him. But Jian's genuine gaze and reassuring smile made him take a step ever so slightly back. Then he suddenly burst into tears. "My daughter…"
Ah Cy and Yuhan sighed and hugged him with understanding. "Dad, sis is living right here in Beijing and still will after the wedding. So shed no more tears."
"Why can't this brat live in the Xu villa!"
Jian beamed. "I don't mind! As long as I get to spend my life with Leina, I will live with her wherever she wants~"
Feeling his genuine answer, it irked Liang even more. He mumbled inaudibly again. "...I just wanted to test you. I know Leina wants to live with you all…"
Thinking of Leina going to the Liu villa from today, a fresh wave of tears broke through his eyes.
Ah Cy sighed and whispered, "This is going to take a long time so how about you check on your brother while we calm him down?"
Jian's heart was overwhelmed with emotions.
You are the best, Mom!
Leaving from his own vanity room, Jian violently bumped into his twin. "Hey! I just got ready!"
Nian looked at him up and down and grinned. "Not more handsome than me~"
"The one who isn't a groom is not allowed to speak."
"Hey! Just because you and Jun share the same wedding day, you have no right to treat me as an alien!" His nostrils flared. "Mind you, Xing Bi and my wedding in the future will be even grander than yours~"
It was a mutually agreed plan where since Jian had proposed to Leina two months ago, Jun-Ai and Jian-Leina's wedding would be held on the same day as a form of a double celebration. It would have been a triple celebration with Nian and Xing Bi's wedding too, but they mutually decided that they wanted to date for some more time as a couple first before taking the vows.
Nian grabbed his twin's arm. "Come on, you were about to meet Jun, right? Let's go and have some fun with the second groom hahaha!"
