Chapter 772: Chapter 769
The sky above the grassland was a brilliant azure, cloudless for miles.
The endless grasslands were like green waves, rippling with the gentle and warm breeze.
She was dressed in a flowing white gown, her wavy long hair pinned up, revealing a neck as slender and pale as that of a swan. The gown featured a straight neckline, exposing a V-shaped back, and her beautiful collarbones were unobstructed to view.
In such a grassland, she resembled a princess from a fairy tale, glittering and dazzling under the sun.
Somehow, looking at her smile, at the anticipation in her eyes, at her turning around slightly in the wedding dress in front of him, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but feel a touch of moisture in his eyes.
He gripped her hand and pulled her close, gently wrapping his arms around her.
When he spoke again, his voice was hoarse with emotion, “Beautiful, very beautiful, very beautiful…”
As he spoke, he gently kissed her forehead, holding her tight.
She sensed something was off in his aura, heard the hoarseness in his voice.
Tentatively, she inquired, “…Lu Xiao?”
Lu Xiao hummed softly in response, “I’m here.”
But Wen Xian was somewhat moved inside and, raising her arms, she hugged him back. With her head resting on his shoulder, she gently said to him,
“I know there might be some disappointment in your heart… but it really doesn’t matter, we can have our own ceremony later on. It’s just a ritual, nothing more.”
She thought he might be reflecting on their own wedding after seeing someone else’s.
After all, that event had cast a shadow over them both.
Upon hearing her words, Lu Xiao remained silent for a while before his deep, raspy voice acknowledged, “Fool.”
She might never fully understand what she meant to him. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet
Many local herders had arrived to attend the wedding, dressed in their finest attire. Wen Xian scanned the crowd but couldn’t spot the actual bride and groom.
Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked Sa Ren, “Has the bride arrived yet, when will they get here?”
Sa Ren winked at her with a brilliant smile, “Don’t worry, they’ll be here soon.”
And at that moment, a few off-road vehicles appeared on the grassland in the distance.
Wen Xian couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, wondering just how many guests were arriving; the wedding was shaping up to be quite the affair.
It was impossible not to feel a twinge of envy, but even more so, she felt happiness for the couple.
In the distance, the vast and clear lake spread out, the sky above it a radiant blue, and some parts of the grass were dotted with pink Gesang flowers swaying in the wind.
The wedding venue featured a white archway, its doors wide open, flanked by rows of white fences.
Entwined with pink and yellow roses, the green vines weaved in among the flowers stretched from the archway to the fences, adding a touch of romance to the setting.
Past the gates lay a red carpet, which Wen Xian initially thought was an actual carpet until she drew closer and realized it was made entirely of red rose petals.
The petal-strewn path extended all the way to the front where the priest stood.
Ascending the white steps, a grand floral arch served as the backdrop for the vows.
With the tranquil lake beyond and the blossoms on the arch gently swaying,
it seemed as if everything was quietly waiting, poised in perfect readiness to welcome the couple.
Wen Xian, dressed in her white gown, stood there with Lu Xiao, awaiting the arrival of the newlyweds from the cars.
However, as the first car slowly approached—
