Chapter 143 I’m Glad to Meet You
The banquet was gradually coming to an end. Yun Che and Li Xiaoxiao saw off the villagers together, while Bai, Wang and others followed Yun Che back to his mansion in the town, preparing to follow Li Xiaoxiao to the capital to watch the ceremony early the next morning.
Yun Che's mansion in the town was also very large. When everyone returned to the Yun Mansion, Yun Che had already asked the housekeeper to clean up the courtyard. For convenience, Bai Jing's family, Bai Dong's family, and the Bai family each lived in a courtyard. "Grandma, mother, uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt, you must be tired after being busy for so long. Why don't you go back with the servants and have a rest? I will send someone to call you for dinner in the evening." Yun Che said to everyone with a smile.
"Okay, Yun Che, you're thoughtful." Bai looked at Yun Che with satisfaction. After spending these days together, the more she looked at Yun Che, the more satisfied she was.
The others agreed, and then, led by the maid, went back to their rooms to rest.
After everyone left, Yun Che brought Li Xiaoxiao to his room.
“Xiaoxiao, this will be our home in town from now on. Do you like it?” Yun Che asked gently, holding Li Xiaoxiao’s hand.
Li Xiaoxiao nodded shyly. She looked around the room, her heart full of anticipation.
Yun Che's mood also brightened when he saw the smile on Li Xiaoxiao's face.
"You take a rest first. I'll go see how the kitchen is preparing." Yun Che gently kissed Li Xiaoxiao's forehead, then turned and left.
After Yun Che left the room, he went straight to the kitchen.
The chefs in the mansion were busy preparing various delicacies for the evening. The fire was roaring, the aroma filled the air, and the whole kitchen was bustling with activity. Yun Che walked into the kitchen and checked the preparation of each dish one by one, ensuring that each one would meet the tastes and preferences of Li Xiaoxiao and her family.
"Master, rest assured, we have carefully selected the ingredients according to your instructions, striving to satisfy the Madam and her family." The chef reported respectfully to Yun Che, his face filled with a smile.
Yun Che nodded in satisfaction, expressing his gratitude for the chef's dedication. He knew that for Li Xiaoxiao, besides the sincerity of her emotions, these subtle details were also part of her happiness. So, he gave a few more detailed instructions, ensuring that every detail was perfect, before leaving the kitchen with peace of mind.
Back in the room, Li Xiaoxiao was sitting by the window, holding a picture album in her hands, flipping through it intently. Yun Che approached gently and saw the heartwarming scene of the two of them in Li Village in the album, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
“Xiaoxiao, what are you looking at?” Yun Che asked softly, his tone filled with tenderness.
Li Xiaoxiao raised her head, her eyes gleaming with happiness. "I'm looking back at our past memories, Yun Che. You know what? I'm truly blessed to have met you and become your wife."
Yun Che's heart moved when he heard this. He walked over to Li Xiaoxiao and gently embraced her in his arms. "Xiaoxiao, me too. From the moment you walked into my life, I knew that you were the only one I would love. I will spend my entire life protecting and loving you."
The two of them hugged each other in front of the window, and the setting sun outside the window shone on them, adding a touch of romance to this warm picture.
As night fell, Yun Che prepared a sumptuous dinner and invited the Bai family, Wang family, and other members of the family to enjoy it. At the table, everyone laughed and chatted, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Watching the interaction between Yun Che and Li Xiaoxiao, Bai Shi felt a surge of joy and satisfaction. She knew that Li Xiaoxiao had found a good home, one that truly loved her.
After dinner, Yun Che suggested that everyone take a walk together to digest the food. So, the group strolled through the mansion's garden, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the night. The flowers in the garden looked particularly beautiful under the moonlight, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance, which was refreshing and pleasant.
After the stroll, everyone returned to their rooms to rest and recharge their batteries for the trip to Beijing the next day. Yun Che stayed with Li Xiaoxiao, preparing some spare clothes and jewelry for her in her room. He waited until Li Xiaoxiao fell asleep before leaving the room and heading to his own room next door. If you asked him why he didn't sleep with Li Xiaoxiao, he would have said he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist and would have her, so he wanted to save the best moments for his wedding back in Beijing.
The next morning, everyone got up early to prepare for the journey. Except for Li Xiaoxiao who had been to the capital once with Yun Che, the others had never even been to the county. They were suddenly going to the capital, and everyone was a little too excited, especially Bai Qiwen and Bai Shao.
Li Xiaoxiao also woke up to the sounds of Li Linlin and Li Fang shouting. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she could hear their lively shouts. She smiled and sat up, feeling the clothes and jewelry Yun Che had prepared for her neatly arranged by the bedside. A warm feeling welled up in her heart. She knew that all of this was carefully prepared by Yun Che to make her more comfortable and beautiful on her way to Beijing and at the wedding.
"Sister, get up quickly! Today is a good day!" Li Linlin pushed the door open and walked in, holding an exquisite hairband in her hand, with an excited smile on her face.
Li Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, then began to put on the new clothes Yun Che had prepared for her. The clothes were soft and comfortable, and the jewelry sparkled, reflecting her happy face. After a quick wash, she, with the help of Li Linlin and Li Fang, tied her long hair up and inserted the hairpin Yun Che had specially selected. She looked even more gentle and charming.
Yun Che was already waiting in the courtyard. He was dressed in a luxurious robe and wore an exquisite jade belt around his waist. He looked incredibly handsome. When he saw Li Xiaoxiao coming out, a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes. He then stepped forward, took her hand, and said gently, "Xiaoxiao, you look so beautiful today."
Xiaoxiao lowered her head shyly, a blush spreading across her face. She felt the warmth of Yun Che's palm, and her heart was filled with a sense of security and happiness.
After breakfast, the group set off for the capital. Yun Che had already arranged for a carriage and escorts to ensure their safety and comfort. Li Xiaoxiao sat in the carriage, gazing out the window at the rapidly passing scenery, feeling a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. She knew that the upcoming wedding would be one of the most important moments in her life.
After two days of traveling, they finally arrived in the capital. The prosperous scene of the capital dazzled everyone, and they marveled at the magnificent buildings and the bustling crowds of people.
"Mom, look, this city gate is so big and high..." Bai Shao looked at the towering city gate in front of her and excitedly grabbed Wang Xiuqin's hand. Even Wang, who was sitting in the same carriage with them, lifted the curtain and looked out.
