Ten minutes before the wedding rehearsal, Zhan Mohan and Chen Yutong, having finished their makeup, appeared at the venue.
Under the guidance of the staff, the two came to the center of the venue and began rehearsing the segment where the bride and groom enter.
Chen Yutong looked at Zhan Mohan beside her, her face slightly flushed and showing shyness.
She hadn't expected Zhan Mohan to look so good in Zhan Yangyi's suit; in fact, he looked even better than Zhan Yangyi.
In her heart, she wished that this scene could be a real wedding.
Wei Yumeng, watching from below, felt even more bitter. She began to question her choices, thinking she could have simply stayed out of it, and Zhan Mohan wouldn't have to stand beside Chen Yutong in a suit.
Her hands unconsciously tightened their grip on her hem, and she bit her lower lip. Although she kept telling herself it was fine, she couldn't calm down at all.
Zhan Mohan paid no attention to Chen Yutong beside him. Seeing Wei Yumeng's troubled expression, he felt a sense of helplessness.
Wei Yumeng suddenly realized Zhan Mohan was looking at her, and she couldn't help but look back at him.
Their eyes met. A hint of tenderness appeared in Zhan Mohan's gaze. Looking at him, Wei Yumeng only saw her own reflection.
Coupled with how good Zhan Mohan looked in the attire, his affectionate gaze made Wei Yumeng blush.
Seeing her reaction, Zhan Mohan's smile widened.
Perhaps it was Zhan Mohan's gaze that made Wei Yumeng feel less upset. Even though Zhan Mohan was beside Chen Yutong at that moment, there was no doubt that in Zhan Mohan's eyes, only she existed.
"Are you two ready?" the staff member asked.
Chen Yutong nodded, "Yes, we are ready."
The staff member turned to the others and said, "Get ready, we're starting soon."
When the rehearsal began, Chen Yutong naturally linked her arm with Zhan Mohan's. In this moment, she felt happy.
Although Zhan Mohan was somewhat displeased, he had to cooperate, considering the role he was playing.
The two walked forward step by step to the wedding march. In Chen Yutong's heart, she wished this path would never end, so she could stay by Zhan Mohan's side forever, her arm linked with his.
Watching the rehearsal proceed normally, Wei Yumeng's heart sank again as she saw Chen Yutong holding Zhan Mohan's arm.
Today had been a real roller coaster for her. Although the rehearsal was proceeding as planned, Wei Yumeng couldn't help but temporarily withdraw from the scene and call Zhan Yangyi.
She silently hoped that Zhan Yangyi could arrive at the critical moment, so Zhan Mohan wouldn't have to go through to the final step with Chen Yutong.
She didn't mind whatever happened in the earlier ceremony, but she couldn't bear to see them exchanging rings, even knowing it was fake.
"Yumeng? What's wrong?" Zhan Yangyi's tone was somewhat anxious.
Wei Yumeng said, "Brother, can you really not make it today?"
"No, I'm already on my way. I'm sorry, I didn't expect today's arrangements. Please wait a little longer, I'll be there soon."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng immediately felt relieved. As long as Zhan Yangyi could arrive in time, Zhan Mohan wouldn't have to continue impersonating him. With this thought, Wei Yumeng's mood significantly lightened.
Just as she hung up and was about to return to the venue, a car stopped in front of her.
However, it wasn't Zhan Yangyi's car, but Zhan Mohan's. Fang Xun got out of the car holding something.
"Mis... Missus?" Fang Xun looked surprised. He truly hadn't expected Wei Yumeng to be at the entrance.
Wei Yumeng looked confused, "Why are you here? Is it work-related?"
Fang Xun quickly hid the item he took from the car behind him. "No, it's not. President Zhan asked me to come and help."
"Help?" Wei Yumeng clearly felt that Fang Xun was hiding something from her. "The wedding rehearsal is proceeding smoothly. I don't see anywhere you need to help."
Fang Xun felt awkward. He had originally intended to secretly deliver the item and give Wei Yumeng a surprise, which was also Zhan Mohan's plan.
But now, Wei Yumeng had already discovered him.
Wei Yumeng's suspicious look made Fang Xun feel increasingly uneasy.
"Missus, please spare me. I'm just doing President Zhan's bidding. There are some things President Zhan doesn't want you to know yet. You just need to wait."
Wei Yumeng understood now. It seemed Zhan Mohan and Fang Xun were plotting something.
"Alright, then I'll let you go."
Wei Yumeng turned around first. Since Zhan Mohan was deliberately keeping something from her, she would wait and see what it was.
Upon returning to the venue, the first part of the rehearsal was completed, and a temporary break was called for adjustments.
Chen Yutong walked over to Zhan Mohan and handed him a cup of hot water. "President Zhan, thank you so much for today. And this suit really suits you."
Zhan Mohan simply said, "But I think my elder brother would be more suited for this suit."
As he spoke, Zhan Mohan didn't take Chen Yutong's cup. Instead, he turned and looked for Wei Yumeng.
Wei Yumeng helped Zhan Mohan tidy his clothes again. "I called Brother just now. Brother said he's already on his way and will be here soon."
Zhan Mohan nodded slightly. "Okay."
As he spoke, he deliberately lowered his head and leaned close to Wei Yumeng's ear. "You're jealous."
Wei Yumeng was startled and her face instantly flushed. "What are you saying? This is just a rehearsal, and I'm the one who asked you to help, so... so..."
Wei Yumeng explained for a long time, but she felt she couldn't even convince herself. She finally gave up and admitted, "Yes, I'm jealous. I don't want to see you standing next to another woman."
Zhan Mohan chuckled and then looked at Fang Xun beside them. "Take Missus to get ready. I think Brother will be here very soon."
"Yes," Fang Xun replied, then looked at Wei Yumeng. "Missus, please come with me to the makeup room next door."
Wei Yumeng glanced at Zhan Mohan again before leaving with Fang Xun. Hearing "makeup room," she seemed to have an idea of what Zhan Mohan was planning.
As soon as Wei Yumeng left, a staff member walked over.
"Mr. Zhan, we plan to proceed with the next segment in five minutes. Please be ready."
But Zhan Mohan said, "Ten minutes."
The staff member was taken aback and intimidated by Zhan Mohan's presence. "Okay, okay. I'll go and inform them."
Chen Yutong, overhearing this conversation, felt a flicker of dissatisfaction. She was eager to continue this wedding with Zhan Mohan, but there was nothing she could do about Zhan Mohan's request.
However, she had taken the opportunity to confirm that Zhan Yangyi was likely still entertaining business partners and couldn't possibly arrive here yet, so she had plenty of time.
