Chapter 442: The Wedding (Part Two)
She disliked all these things, including fake eyelashes, powder, cream, blusher, eyeshadows and more.
“No, no, Master, leave me alone. Just concentrate on these two. I don’t like all of this.”
Zhao Anan spoke in such fluent English that the top-notch makeup artist got startled.
She had never met any girl who refused to get makeup done from her.
But the makeup artist didn’t force her to do any makeup. Seeing that the newly-wedded couple didn’t object either, she shrugged her shoulders.
It took them almost the entire morning before the makeup and styling was finished. They were not done until it was almost 11.
During that time, Jing Yichen was summoned by Jing Zhongxiu. The father and the son went to greet the guests and directed them towards the church.
But Huang Lihan was guarding Shangguan Ning after Jing Yichen left the room.
After knowing what happened the night before, he got so furious that he followed Shangguan Ning on every step. He didn’t leave her side before he gave her away to Jing Yichen, safe and sound.
Accompanied by Zhao Anan and Zheng Lun, Shangguan Ning arrived at the church in the luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom in her favorite wedding gown.
Usually, it was the local priest that hosted the wedding. But today, it was the Bishop of the Royal Church who was hosting their wedding.
In the church, Jing Yichen was waiting for his most beautiful bride in a white suit, standing next to the Bishop.
The church was already full of people. In the very first row were Jing Tianyuan, Mo Lan and Jing Zhongxiu as well as the Shangguan Xing family, who had been shocked by the wedding.
Dressed in the white gown, Shangguan Ning walked forward in slow steps with the long hemline dragging behind her.
She had a near transparent veil over her head and lace gloves on her hands. Holding a bunch of flowers, she had her hand around Uncle Huang Lihan’s arm. He was leading her into the church.
Behind her were Zhao Anan and Zheng Lun who were holding the flowers. Behind them were six pairs of ring bearers.
Huang Lihan got very emotional seeing his niece blossom into this beautiful woman. It was a solemn and respectful wedding. Although Shangguan Ning and Jing Yichen were already married, he still felt reluctant to give away this girl whom he had adored since she was little.
Everyone turned their look towards Shangguan Ning as soon as she entered the church.
Few people had met Shangguan Ning before. They couldn’t imagine how excellent a woman had to be so as to become the lady of Family Jing and the madam of this enormous business empire!
Despite a thin layer of veil over her face, Shangguan Ning looked strikingly beautiful.
Jing Yichen was full of excitement when he saw this woman walking towards him slowly.
She was absolutely the most beautiful woman in the world.
The strapless white wedding gown moulded her beautiful body. The exquisite neck, the slender waist and the long arms manifested her beauty in every single way.
Even though she was not wearing high heels, she still looked very tall and slender. She was like a pure Magnolia that bloomed quietly.
Shangguan Ning’s heart skipped a beat when she caught sight of Jing Yichen standing not too far away.
A smile hovered over her face. She felt that Jing Yichen looked extremely handsome today!
She wanted to go there faster, but Huang Lihan walked so slowly that she had to follow her uncle’s step, little by little. But all through the time, her eyes were only on Jing Yichen.
And Jing Yichen was gazing at her too.
He had lost her the night before and it was a miracle that their wedding could take place on time today.
It had been such a rollercoaster experience for him all this while that Jing Yichen cherished every moment when he was with her.
He extended his hands towards her, without even realising when he saw her approaching him.
Shangguan Ning smiled and placed her hands in his, which he held tightly.
Jing Yichen nodded at Huang Lihan who went to sit in the first row opposite them.
The striking couple stood in front of the Bishop, hand in hand with each other.
The Bishop was a tall British man in his 50s. He looked solemn and spoke fluent Chinese.
“Today, we are gathered here under the eyes of God as the witnesses to the wedding of Jing Yichen and Shangguan Ning. It is a holy moment, not impetuous or inconsiderate. It is pious and serious. There are two people who are going to be combined in this holy wedding. If anyone has any valid reason to object to their union, please come out now or stay forever silent.”
The voice of the Bishop echoed across the church. No one uttered a sound at this moment. After all, it was just a ritual to say these words.
The Bishop was experienced. He took a short moment and said in a loud and serious voice, “Please remember: without the permission of God, no one is legally married.”
With eyes on Jing Yichen, the Bishop asked solemnly, “Jing Yichen, do you accept Shangguan Ning as your legally wedded wife at this holy wedding and live with her under the guidance of God? Do you promise to love her, respect her, care about her and stay faithful to her for as long as you live?”
With Shangguan Ning’s hand in his, Jing Yichen said with a firm voice and serious expression, “I do!”
The Bishop turned to Shangguan Ning and asked, “Shangguan Ning, do you accept Jing Yichen as your legally wedded husband at this holy wedding and live with him under the guidance of God? Do you promise to love him, respect him, care about him and stay faithful to him for as long as you live?”
Shangguan Ning felt that she had never been so serious as she was now. Then she answered without hesitation, “I do!”
“Now, say your vows in front of God!”
Jing Yichen turned his head and looked at Shangguan Ning. His eyes were sincere and full of affection as he said emotionally, “I, Jing Yichen, accept Shangguan Ning as my legally wedded wife. From today on, I will have you, for rich or for poor, in sickness or in health. I will always love you, respect and cherish you until death do us apart. I swear to God and make this promise to you!”
