Wei Yumeng and Fang Xun arrived at the makeup room, where a makeup artist was already waiting for her.
"It's this madam who needs to be dressed up, right?" The makeup artist looked at Wei Yumeng with admiration. "Madam, you are already one of the few beauties I've seen. Don't worry, today I will definitely make you the most beautiful person."
Before Wei Yumeng could react, the makeup artist had already pulled her into the chair and started working.
Outside, Chen Yutong was beginning to feel uneasy. She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, yet at the same time, it seemed like nothing had happened.
Finally, the somewhat lengthy ten minutes passed. The staff then noticed that Zhan Mohan had disappeared at some point, and his figure was nowhere to be seen at the entire venue.
"What's going on? Where did President Zhan go?"
Chen Yutong also became anxious. Had Zhan Mohan left? Was she being abandoned then?
But just then, Fang Xun walked towards them. "Everyone, please don't worry. President Zhan asked me to tell you that everything should proceed according to the original plan."
This reassured the others, as in a way, Fang Xun could indeed represent Zhan Mohan's decisions.
Finally, the second phase began, which mostly involved interactions between the host and the couple on stage, and some ceremonial procedures.
Chen Yutong had taken her designated position according to the staff's arrangements, but the groom's position was still empty.
At this moment, a figure finally appeared.
As Zhan Yangyi stepped forward, he gave Chen Yutong a slight smile. He was already wearing the tuxedo that rightfully belonged to him.
"I'm sorry, Yutong. I'm late. I promise it won't happen again."
But looking at Zhan Yangyi, Chen Yutong was shocked and even a little sad. Her expression became awkward. In her plan, Zhan Yangyi should not have appeared at this time at all.
"Weren't you supposed to meet with a business partner today? Why are you here?"
Chen Yutong's tone was full of blame, and she was somewhat displeased that Zhan Yangyi had interrupted her good fortune by appearing at this moment.
However, Zhan Yangyi thought Chen Yutong was angry because he hadn't arrived on time.
"I snuck away from a business engagement. Mohan said he would handle the subsequent matters for me, so I rushed over. Compared to business, you are the most important to me right now."
As Zhan Yangyi said this, his eyes were full of deep affection as he looked at Chen Yutong.
But Chen Yutong truly couldn't be happy. If Zhan Mohan had never agreed to help her in the first place, it might have been fine.
But now that she had experienced the feeling of being by Zhan Mohan's side, how could she be willing to give it up just like that?
Zhan Yangyi gently took her hand. "Don't be angry anymore, okay? I'll compensate you when we get back."
Chen Yutong then nodded reluctantly. However, since Zhan Yangyi had arrived, where had Zhan Mohan gone?
In the makeup room, Wei Yumeng had already been made up. The makeup artist and Fang Xun looked at Wei Yumeng with great admiration.
"My judgment was indeed correct. Madam is even more beautiful when dressed up. I'm afraid even famous actresses today wouldn't compare to you."
As she spoke, the makeup artist took out a bag from the side, the one Fang Xun had been keeping hidden.
"Next, all that's left is to put on this wedding dress. Madam will surely become the most beautiful bride."
Wei Yumeng was slightly taken aback. She had never expected it to be a wedding dress.
"Hurry, Madam, we're running out of time," Fang Xun urged.
Wei Yumeng took the wedding dress, still somewhat dazed, but she walked into the changing room.
Zhan Mohan waited outside the door for a while, then knocked. He felt as eager as he had on his wedding day with Wei Yumeng, impatient to see the bride's appearance.
After a long time, the makeup artist's door opened. Wei Yumeng had finished her makeup and was looking at Zhan Mohan with a hint of shyness.
Zhan Mohan's tuxedo had also changed; he was now wearing a matching tuxedo to Wei Yumeng's wedding dress.
"Mohan, why are we dressed like this?" Wei Yumeng asked.
Zhan Mohan chuckled and extended his hand to her. "It's our turn to go on stage now, my bride."
Wei Yumeng was slightly taken aback. After a moment of hesitation, she placed her hand in Zhan Mohan's. Zhan Mohan held her tightly, and they walked onto the scene together.
As they appeared, they were met with applause from all the staff.
"The two of you are truly a match made in heaven," someone couldn't help but exclaim.
The host then immediately said, "Please welcome our newlyweds onto the stage."
Zhan Mohan gestured to Wei Yumeng, and she smiled at him. They stood at the beginning of the red carpet.
Wei Yumeng's hand, holding Zhan Mohan's, was a little nervous, but Zhan Mohan held her hand with great firmness.
Wei Yumeng truly hadn't expected Zhan Mohan to arrange such a scenario. When she had seen Chen Yutong standing with Zhan Mohan, she had felt extremely upset.
And now, this was undoubtedly a stabilizing agent for Wei Yumeng's heart. Although this was just a rehearsal, it made Wei Yumeng truly feel as if she had married Zhan Mohan all over again.
Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong had finished their rehearsal. Zhan Yangyi looked at the scene before him and was genuinely happy for the couple. However, he also understood why Wei Yumeng was so devoted to Zhan Yangyi.
Because no matter what, the two of them could always perceive each other's feelings and make choices that would reassure the other.
It was likely that with such a way of interacting, they would never separate.
But for Chen Yutong, the scene before her was like sharp blades piercing her heart.
According to the original plan, Zhan Mohan should have been standing beside her today, not Zhan Yangyi!
She was even forced to witness a scene she found most unbearable. Her hands were clenched tightly, and her face had turned pale from the stinging sight.
After the rehearsal ended, Fang Xun deliberately took a few photos of Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng, as such an occasion was not something that happened every day.
Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng. "How is it? Feeling better?"
Wei Yumeng nodded. She knew that Zhan Mohan had prepared all of this just to appease her.
"Don't do this again in the future. Preparing so much must have been troublesome, right?"
Zhan Mohan casually replied, "It's nothing. If it can bring you peace, nothing is more important."
Wei Yumeng looked into Zhan Mohan's eyes, full of deep affection. If there hadn't been others around, she would have probably leaned in and kissed him.
Chen Yutong and Zhan Yangyi, though their atmosphere was quite pleasant, still felt a significant difference in warmth compared to them.
Zhan Yangyi excitedly expressed his anticipation for the wedding day, while Chen Yutong merely responded distractedly.
