Chapter 325 - Three-Hundred and Twenty-Five: Forgotten
Mr. MO insisted that Fang Xi get married at his house. Since she was his goddaughter, the MO family was Fang Xi’s maiden family. For the sake of Fang Xi and the Ye family’s dignity, what Fang Xi’s parents couldn’t do, Mr. MO would do for them.
Fang Xi’s legs hadn’t fully recovered, so she still had to sit in a wheelchair most of the time. However, this didn’t affect the wedding preparations. Ye Kun couldn’t believe how lucky he was; he felt like he was reborn anew, even though the one truly reborn was Fang Xi.
The current Fang Xi was cheerful and lively. The depression and melancholy she’d occasionally exuded in the past had disappeared. Her lost memories had taken the pain in her heart with them.
Their wedding rings were designed by Xiang Yang after several all-nighters, and their wedding outfits were personally hand-sewn by Miss An and the others. They were a set of Chinese-style wedding attire, and Fang Xi’s wedding dress was especially breathtaking, coupled with a phoenix coronet. Their friends and family had handled everything for them; the only thing the brideand groom-to-be needed to do was take the wedding photos—this was something others couldn’t do for them.
Xi Cheng irritably flipped through the photo album the bridal shop assistant had given him while he waited for Lin Yu to finish changing. He and Lin Yu were on their fourth set of wedding photos, but it was still far from enough for Lin Yu. Xi Cheng really didn’t understand women, thinking, ‘Why go through all this trouble? We’re onlygetting married.’
Lin Yu used to be so anxious to get married, but now that they’ve finally set the wedding date, she was no longer in a hurry. Each and every detail had to be done to the extreme. Xi Cheng was already exhausted just from when they started trying on wedding outfits until their photoshoot.
Looking at the various wedding dresses in the album, Xi Cheng couldn’t help but think of Fang Xi. ‘Fang Xi must have dreamed of wearing a wedding dress countless times, hasn’t she? Unfortunately, I couldn’t give her what shed wanted.’
Xi Cheng’s chest throbbed at the thought. “Ye Kun, I’m tired. I don’t want to take any more photos. Let’s make this our last set, okay?” Xi Cheng heard a voice say coquettishly and felt like lightning had struck him. He stood up and walked towards the voice.
A male voice answered, “Alright! I told you we should have let Yun Innovations’ photographer come to our house and take the photos there, but you insisted on coming here for our wedding photos just because you wanted to ‘share in’ Yun Nan and Shi Nian’s happiness. It’s very tiring, isn’t it? We’ve already taken some photos, so how about we go home and not take this set of photos?”
“No, I’ve already changed my clothes; we should finish this photoshoot. Besides, what’s wrong with taking our wedding photos here? Look at how happy Yun Nan and Shi Nian are together! I just want a share of their happiness.”
The male replied, “We’ll live happily on our own. We don’t have to borrow their happiness!”
Xi Cheng pulled open the curtains before him with all his strength, and the people behind the curtains turned around in shock. Ye Kun and Xi Cheng’s expressions changed when they saw each other.
“Fang Xi? You woke up?!” Amazed, Xi Cheng took a step forward.
Ye Kun subconsciously shielded Fang Xi behind him, and Xi Cheng pushed him away. Ye Kun couldn’t take it anymore and growled, “Xi Cheng! Don’t go too far!”
Fang Xi looked at the two of them in surprise and asked, “Ye Kun, who’s this?”
Xi Cheng stared at Fang Xi in shock. She met his gaze blankly. Eyes fixed on
Fang Xi, Xi Cheng blurted, “Fang Xi, don’t you know who I am? I’m Xi Cheng.”
Fang Xi looked toward Ye Kun. “Xi Cheng? Should I know him? I haven’t heard you guys mention him before.”
Ye Kun gazed at Xi Cheng, and the anger in his eyes suddenly faded. He stepped to the side, put his arms around Fang Xi’s waist, and said gently, “None of us mentioned him because he’s no one important. His name’s Xi Cheng; we’re childhood friends.”
“Oh,” Fang Xi replied softly and briefly sized Xi Cheng up. She was confused by his anxious behavior but still politely greeted him, “Hello.”
“Xi Cheng!” Lin Yu’s voice trembled as she called out from behind Xi Cheng. Dressed in a bridal gown, Lin Yu stood pale-faced behind Xi Cheng.
Fang Xi’s gaze also fell on Lin Yu, and she inquired, “Is she your friend’s bride?”
Ye Kun nodded lightly and tightened his hold on Fang Xi. Fang Xi noticed Ye Kun’s nervousness and was slightly puzzled. To comfort him, she hugged Ye Kun’s waist in return.
A shop assistant came over to say, ‘Miss Fang, we’ve altered the waistline of your gown. Come try it on.”
Fang Xi turned around and happily exclaimed, “That was fast! Okay, I’m coming! ”
“You stay and talk to your friend, ” she said to Ye Kun. “I’ll go try on my dress.”
Ye Kun didn’t object and lifted her into her wheelchair. Fang Xi nodded apologetically at Xi Cheng and Lin Yu before she spun her wheelchair around and left with the shop assistant.
Only when she was gone did Ye Kun speak. “She doesn’t know you guys! She lost all her memories of the past,” Ye Kun stated coldly.
“That’s impossible! How can she not know me? How can she not remember me?” Xi Cheng suddenly exploded at Ye Kun and pushed him away, intending to chase after Fang Xi.
“Xi Cheng!” Lin Yu lifted her dress slightly and pulled Xi Cheng back. Xi Cheng stopped in his tracks.
“Do you want to embarrass the Xi and Ye families?” Lin Yu asked, keeping her grip on Xi Cheng tight as her heart hurt so much that she couldn’t breathe. “Don’t, Xi Cheng. We’re about to get married,” Lin Yu pleaded, nearly sobbing..
