The moment Ye Ziyu opened her eyes early in the morning, she saw Gu Xiuyu leaning over her with a smile. Startled by him, all her sleepiness vanished, and she instantly became alert.
“Have you made all the arrangements for the wedding?” she asked, pulling the quilt up and leaning against the bedside table.
Gu Xiuyu nodded, “Everything is in order, all that’s left is you, the bride.”
In her peripheral vision, Ye Ziyu noticed the wedding dress hanging nearby.
“Does everyone in Sijiucheng know that we are getting married today? And that they are coming to our wedding?” Ye Ziyu inquired.
Gu Xiuyu didn’t respond immediately to this question. He stood up from the bedside and walked towards the wedding dress. Reaching out to hold one side, he pushed the wedding dress towards Ye Ziyu. “Try it on first to see if it fits. Our wedding is tonight, there’s still time to make adjustments.”
Getting married tonight? The timing was too rushed.
Ye Ziyu had agreed to marry him to buy time for Di Mingjue and the others to find her, and she also wanted to use this time to signal her location to them.
If the wedding went smoothly tonight, it would disrupt all her plans.
Gu Xiuyu took the wedding dress off the rack. Ye Ziyu frowned after a glance.
After waiting for a long time without a response, Gu Xiuyu moved his face from behind the wedding dress. “What, don’t you like it?”
“The wedding dress in your hand is the same style as the one Mingjue prepared for me. Seeing it reminds me of the scene of marrying Mingjue,” Ye Ziyu replied.
It was precisely at that wedding that Ye Qianzhi had suddenly appeared and disrupted their soon-to-be peaceful and stable life.
Gu Xiuyu looked down at the pure white wedding dress, gripping the voluminous skirt with force. He had fallen in love with it at first sight, believing Ye Ziyu would be the most beautiful bride in it. Now, upon learning that Di Mingjue had also chosen a similar one for her, he felt as if the wedding dress in his hand had been trampled upon.
Casually tossing it aside, Gu Xiuyu said, “Since that’s the case, I’ll have them bring you other styles.”
“I want to choose it myself,” Ye Ziyu said.
“Alright,” Gu Xiuyu agreed.
She could choose, of course, but leaving the island to go to a bridal shop was out of the question.
Ye Ziyu didn’t think about it further. When Gu Xiuyu brought over the entire wedding dress album, she didn’t show any anger.
“All the wedding dresses are here. After you choose, I’ll arrange for someone to deliver it,” Gu Xiuyu said.
Ye Ziyu’s gaze was fixed on the album. It wasn’t just any album; Gu Xiuyu and Di Mingjue had very similar tastes. The wedding dresses they had chosen, and the brand responsible for the wedding attire, were the same.
She pondered seriously, “Do they know that we are getting married?”
“They?” Gu Xiuyu didn’t understand who this ‘they’ referred to.
Ye Ziyu tapped her finger on the wedding dress album. “They.”
“No,” Gu Xiuyu replied. “For now, they don’t know that we are getting married. But after tonight’s wedding, the entire world will know that we are married, and that you have become my wife, Gu Xiuyu’s wife.”
After the wedding?
Ye Ziyu found it amusing. Was he treating her like an idiot? Did he think he could proceed with the wedding without any obstacles?
*Slap* The album was forcefully closed.
“I will not be attending the wedding tonight,” Ye Ziyu stated.
“Why?” Gu Xiuyu was bewildered.
He had agreed to her requests; the wedding dress could be replaced immediately if it didn’t fit. What else was she not satisfied with?
Ye Ziyu tossed the album aside. “I told you, before getting married, I want everyone to know that we are getting married. Not to inform everyone after the wedding that we are married. Do you think I, Ye Ziyu, am only worthy of a clandestine marriage to you?”
Listening to her accusation, Gu Xiuyu quickly shook his head.
