It wasn't her first time walking down the aisle to get married, but it didn't mean that Su Xiaofei wouldn't be nervous today. Her wedding day could not be any better. A beautiful blue sky dotted with white puffy clouds and birds flying high. The trees were full of flowers and greenery, their leaves openly greeting the sun above the sky.
Inside the chapel was just as marvelous. Even for a small ceremony, the wood was polished until it shone while the marbled floor was cleaned until one can see their reflection on it. She and Lu Qingfeng had very few guests to witness their wedding, but Su Xiaofei couldn't be happier knowing that her mother and her birth father were the ones to give her hand to her groom this time.
Compared to the luxurious and jam packed guest list she had during her previous wedding with Mo Yuchen, Su Xiaofei was content to have an intimate wedding this time, with only her close friends and family members present. She was certain that her groom would be dressed as immaculately as she was.
The white dress was simple, with silk wrapping around her bodice and flowing out from her waist. Upon her request, Andrew Si had left out any padding and petticoats beneath it, giving her more leeway to move freely. The only detail that remained was the intricate floral beading with crystals placed on her right side.
Su Xiaofei's jaw tightened as she fiddled the flower petals of her bouquet. She could feel her heart in her throat as she kept chanting her new title from today onwards in her mind.
'Mrs. Lu… Madam Lu…'
She almost couldn't believe that she would be walking down the aisle again and marry her childhood friend, despite what she experienced in the past.
Her new husband could not have been more perfect in her eyes. His family ruled over the investment banking industry, making them unimaginably wealthy and powerful at the same time. The Lu family lineage was old and conventional, and as if that didn't make her husband a catch already, Lu Qingfeng was also incredibly attractive.
He had already shed all his childlike features, leaving a mature young man in its wake. He was fit compared to the other young men his age and he stood tall and proud. His midnight hair was styled in a way that highlighted his pronounced sharp cheeks and strong jaw. Best of all, his dark eyes could make her feel like she was the only woman he would ever be with in this life.
Her right hand reached out to hold on her mother's hand as she waited for the ceremony to begin. Yun Qingrong could see through her veil that she was anxious for the wedding ceremony. Even her ever composed and calm daughter wasn't immune to pre-wedding jitters like any other bride.
"Calm down, Feifei. I know you are nervous, but don't let it ruin your special day." Yun Qingrong said to her daughter.
Qiao Fengying couldn't help but agree with her. In his opinion, Su Xiaofei was the most beautiful bride in his eyes, and because of her striking resemblance with Bai Qingyue, he briefly wondered if things didn't go out of hand and they didn't part ways, Bai Qingyue would have also looked stunning in a white dress like this.
He shook his head, willing to push these unnecessary thoughts away. There was no use in thinking of the 'what-ifs' at this time, and he could only hope that Su Xiaofei would lead a happy marriage with Lu Qingfeng.
From what he knew, the two were childhood friends, which Qiao Fengying thought was a good thing. If the two had started as lovers just like anyone else, their trust and respect for each other wouldn't be as steady as they were right now.
"I'm pretty sure you aren't the only one nervous about this, Xiaofei. I can tell that Mr. Lu cannot wait to have you as his wife." He said with a wide smile.
Su Xiaofei looked up at her birth father, her heart filled with happiness, seeing the content look and gentleness in his eyes. When she asked him if he could walk her down the aisle with Yun Qingrong, Qiao Fengying didn't think twice and agreed to her request.
"Thank you, Uncle Qiao. You don't know how much it means to me that you are here with us." She said as she slid into her father's embrace. Their embrace was tight and warm, and Su Xiaofei felt like she couldn't be happier than he was here with her on her special day.
Qiao Fengying smiled and patted her small back. Su Xiaofei had filled the void in his heart somehow. Although he still thought about his missing daughter every single day, he noticed that he wasn't as lonely as he was since meeting Su Xiaofei.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world. Please be happy, Xiaofei."
He wasn't even aware that he was giving his own daughter's hand for marriage to Lu Qingfeng. She wondered what Qiao Fengying thought of Lu Qingfeng. If he knew that she was his missing daughter, would he approve of Lu Qingfeng?
A short knock on the door disrupted her thoughts as someone stepped inside the waiting room, informing the three of them that the wedding ceremony was about to start.
"It seems like it's time for us to meet your husband." Yun Qingrong said with a teasing tone.
"Right. We can't prolong this anymore, Miss Yun." Qiao Fengying agreed, seeing the slight blush on Su Xiaofei's cheeks. "Time to wed you off, to the luckiest man alive, my dear."
Su Xiaofei laughed and held onto her father's arm as they stepped out of the room. Happiness was starting to bud in her chest as she thought that this could be the happiest day of her life.. She couldn't wait to see Lu Qingfeng at the end of the aisle and marry him.
