Chapter 1505 Double Happiness
The focus of the wedding banquet shifted instantly, with everyone's attention turning to Bai Xin'ai, truly becoming the center of attention.
Mu Ning turned around, her calm gaze following the crowd. Her face was fair, her eyes were dark, and her lips were red. Her exquisite makeup made her round face look almost perfect. It was just that she was a little chubby overall. But looking at her face alone, she was impeccable. This was probably her only advantage right now.
Zhuang Shiyuan turned around and took Mu Ning's hand. Mu Ning turned to look at him, pursed her lips slightly, but did not speak.
"It's alright," Zhuang Shiyuan said in a low voice, glancing sideways at the wedding emcee and reminding him, "Let's continue."
The emcee then came to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and nodded, "Well then, cough cough, let's begin. Please, newlyweds, serve tea."
At that moment, Zhuang Shijue and Bai Xin'ai walked over. The two were a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
"Mom and Dad, since my older brother and I were born on the same day, I have to be there too, I can't fall behind him in this important life event. So, let's do it today, it's a double celebration!" Zhuang Shijue said, then laughed loudly at the distinguished guests who were craning their necks to look around, "It just so happens that you can all give a gift today and enjoy the feast of two families. Such a great deal is not something you can find anywhere else."
The driver quickly tried to lighten the mood by clapping, which eased the awkwardness. The crowd erupted in applause and cheers, and the atmosphere gradually calmed down.
The newlyweds served tea, creating two separate groups. The two brides knelt in the middle, and Bai Xin'ai's heavy, voluminous dress pushed Mu Ning, who was kneeling beside her, quite a bit out of the way. Zhuang Shiyuan pulled Mu Ning aside, and Mu Ning smiled, indicating it was alright.
After serving tea and following the wedding ceremony, the lively yet deserted wedding banquet came to an end.
Mu Ning rested in the lounge, while Zhuang Shiyuan entertained the guests outside. Apart from the Zhuang family's relatives, most of the invited guests were important figures, so they couldn't be neglected. Although the wedding was somewhat chaotic, they still had to do their best.
Bai Xin'ai appeared in the lounge, having changed from her white wedding dress into a cheongsam. The form-fitting gown perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure. With her stunning face, enviable figure, and noble demeanor, she was far superior to Mu Ning in every way.
Bai Xin'ai leaned against the doorway, looking at Mu Ning who was resting with her eyes closed. She didn't know if Mu Ning was asleep or what. Bai Xin'ai didn't make a sound, and her gaze became dark and gloomy.
What exactly does Zhuang Shiyuan like about that woman? In Bai Xin'ai's opinion, Mu Ning is far more than just unworthy of Zhuang Shiyuan.
She has no family background, no talent or beauty, so how can she compare to Zhuang Shiyuan? How can she not have any self-awareness about a powerful family like the Zhuang family?
Bai Xin'ai walked in and sat down next to Mu Ning. "Why does he love you? What does he love about you?"
Mu Ning slightly opened her eyes and calmly looked at Bai Xin'ai. "The feelings between people are very complicated, but also very simple. If you treat them seriously, you will definitely be rewarded."
"Am I not serious enough?" Bai Xin'ai retorted.
Mu Ning met Bai Xin'ai's gaze and spoke after a long while, "I don't know you. I don't really understand. Maybe you encountered the complicated kind, while I encountered the simple kind."
She and Zhuang Shiyuan got together inexplicably. From their initial mutual dislike to his inexplicable persistence, and then to her unwavering devotion, if you were to ask her when they fell in love with each other, she really couldn't give an answer.
Bai Xin'ai smiled meaningfully, "Shiyuan doesn't love you, Mu Ning."
Mu Ning stiffened slightly, paused for a moment, then sat up and looked directly at Bai Xin'ai. "I can't be sure if he loves me, but I'm certain that he doesn't love you."
Bai Xin'ai's face paled for a moment. This woman was indeed somewhat unexpected, and Zhuang Shiyuan's attitude towards her was even more surprising.
Bai Xin'ai suddenly sighed and chuckled softly, "I can't see any feelings for me in Shi Yuan's eyes."
This may be self-deprecating, but it is also true.
"But I also can't see how much he loves you in his eyes. At least, not romantically. Mu Ning, even if you have nothing to offer, he still chose you. Do you know why? It's because he feels guilty towards you and is with you almost out of gratitude. You received his gratitude and the marriage he gave you, but it actually has nothing to do with love."
Mu Ning listened quietly and nodded slowly. "At least I'm with him. So what? Haven't you been trying to get his gratitude and marriage from me? Since he gave it to me, I should be satisfied."
Bai Xin'ai's expression changed again, while Mu Ning smiled slightly, a genuine smile without any sarcasm.
Mu Ning is the kind of person who likes what she likes and doesn't pretend to dislike what she doesn't. She doesn't hide her thoughts and expresses them directly to those close to her. This is the biggest reason why Zhuang Shiyuan trusts her, because she trusts him enough.
Bai Xin'ai looked at the stubborn woman in front of her and was at a loss for what to do.
Zhuang Shijue stood at the doorway, his peach blossom eyes slightly upturned as he looked at the two women inside. The handsome and dashing man leaned casually against the doorframe, a faint smile on his face. One word could perfectly describe the Second Master Zhuang at this moment: breathtakingly beautiful.
In terms of looks, Zhuang Shijue and Zhuang Shiyuan are incomparable. Zhuang Shijue is handsome from every angle, while Zhuang Shiyuan is probably only outstanding in height and well-proportioned physique. But compared to Zhuang Shijue, he still can't compare.
Not only are beautiful women pleasing to the eye, but men are too.
"What are you talking about?" Zhuang Shijue whistled, drawing the attention of the two women in the room.
Mu Ning and Bai Xin'ai looked over, and Bai Xin'ai frowned unhappily, "Shouldn't you be out socializing?"
"That's what the young master should do." Zhuang Shijue walked into the room with a smile, sat down on the single sofa where Bai Xinai was sitting, leaning against the armrest. His long, slender, and strong legs were straight on the ground, and every move he made had a stunning effect.
Mu Ning looked at Zhuang Shijue; when this guy wasn't being sarcastic, he was really handsome...
Okay, she's a married woman, just look, just look...
Zhuang Shijue smiled and looked at Mu Ning: "Are you regretting not marrying the Second Master?"
"Hmm?" Mu Ning looked at him in confusion and shook her head. "It looks nice but isn't practical. Getting married is like buying something. If something is flashy but impractical, you can only leave it there. It's a waste if you don't use it."
"...Second Master is well-endowed and skilled, how can he be considered flashy but impractical? Don't believe me? Ask your new love." Zhuang Shijue blurted out, laughing wildly.
