“You broke her.” Xi Qian said, as she stood next to Lu Qingfeng, watching Su Xiaofei smiling awkwardly at her mother while Yun Qingrong browsed several pamphlets for wedding dresses.

The wedding planner had come together with Chairman Lu to discuss the wedding preparation with both families.

“Whatever do you mean by that, Miss Xi?” Lu Qingfeng said in response, his eyes never leaving the woman who was about to become his wife.

“I mean, you two have only been engaged recently, and now you’re ready to jump into marriage. Don’t you think you are rushing things?” Xi Qian replied. She crossed her arms, but her eyes softened at the scene in front of her. It seemed like Yun Qingrong was really excited about the preparations for Feifei and Lu Qingfeng’s wedding.

“You know that I would wait for Feifei however long I have to. It was her who asked to rush things up and hold the wedding as soon as possible.”

“I guess she’s really worried about Aunty Qing and wants to make her as happy as possible.”

Xi Qian knew what to expect from Yun Qingrong’s treatments, and it wasn’t really comfortable for the patients undergoing them. However, before that, Yun Qingrong was already scheduled for removal of both of her ovaries and fallopian tubes, so the doctors could remove as much of a tumor as possible. Debulking may increase the chance for chemotherapy or radiation therapy to kill all the tumor cells. It may also be done to relieve her symptoms or help her to live longer.

“Isn’t that what we all wanted?” Lu Qingfeng said in response. If he could, he would take away Yun Qingrong’s sickness, if it meant that she and Su Xiaofei would be happy once again.

Xi Qian fell silent at that, as she knew what Lu Qingfeng just said was true. If she was in Su Xiaofei’s shoes, she had no doubt that she would have her 35th mental breakdown by this time. Su Xiaofei was stronger than she thought she could be, and Xi Qian hoped that her best friend knew that.

If there was something good that came out of the news of Yun Qingrong’s illness, it was the fact that her whole family, as well as Su Xiaofei and Lu Qingfeng, had become closer to her than ever. By now, her elderly father had been made aware of her condition by her brothers, leaving the old general in tears.

“This will be a busy week for all of us.” Lu Qingfeng commented.

Since their schedule for the following days was jammed packed, according to Zhang Ling and Miss Katarina, he and Su Xiaofei decided to hold their intimate wedding in one week time, allowing them to celebrate their union for three days with both of their families and closest friends.

Surprisingly, Su Xiaofei had requested her father’s presence at their wedding, which Lu Qingfeng easily obliged. He knew how important it was for Su Xiaofei to see Qiao Fengying and Qiao Yuhan on their special day.

He had already notified the Qiao family, and President Qiao was thrilled to hear the news and had agreed to come to their wedding. They would be expecting the Qiao family a few days before the wedding.

Lu Qingfeng could see that she was trying her best to stay strong for Yun Qingrong and although this wasn’t the circumstances he had in mind when he said he would marry her, he was willing to fulfill her wish as long as she became his wife.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaofei watched as her mother discussed the details of the wedding preparation with Lu Qingfeng’s grandfather. The old man had immediately returned to Qiying City when he was informed that his only grandson was about to get married.

Su Xiaofei was thankful that Lu Qingfeng’s grandfather wasn’t against the idea of their marriage and was more than happy to welcome her as the newest member of the Lu family.

Chairman Lu was one of the very few people Su Xiaofei admired. In her previous life, someone told her that men were like wine. Some turn into vinegar like Su Haoran, while the best, like Chairman Lu, improved with age.

“What do you think, Feifei? Do you have any color preference in mind?”

Her mother’s question brought her back to reality. She smiled at her mother and shook her head.

“We haven’t discussed it yet, Mama, but white should be fine.” She replied, her eyes seeking Lu Qingfeng for his opinion.

Lu Qingfeng nodded. He wasn’t really particular about the details of their wedding as long as they would be married at the end of the day.

Yun Qingrong pouted at their answer.

“You two are no help. It would be easier if you could chip in and tell us what you want to see on your wedding day.”

“I trust your judgment, Mama ” Su Xiaofei then took the pamphlet Yun Qingrong was holding, seeing that her mother had already circled some of the dresses she liked from the catalog.

“These are all nice, Mama, but do you see any sets that we could use instead?”

“We can alter some of the suits for Mr. Lu according to your dress. I’m sure, Mr. Si wouldn’t mind some alterations.” The wedding planner commented.

The catalog Yun Qingrong was checking earlier came from Andrew Si’s latest collection for his wedding line.

“See, Mama? You don’t need to worry too much. Now, Lu Qingfeng and I will just need to pick one from the ones you’ve chosen for us. As for everyone else’s outfit, I’m sure they would be able to pull out some classy white ensembles.”

“But what about the venue and the reception? With how busy you and Xiao Feng are, I suppose you wouldn’t even get a honeymoon after your wedding.” Yun Qingrong questioned.

“That can wait, Aunty Qing. Feifei and I plan to have one in the future, but not for now..” Lu Qingfeng was the one to answer for both of them.
