Chapter 447 Newly Wedded Winter Couple
************
CHAPTER 447
"...You may kiss the bride."
As soon as those words rolled out from the priest's lips, Bai Renxiang's heart leapt. Were they going to kiss in front of this huge audience in the church?
However, as soon as she felt the cold air on her face and her eyes met with her husband her heart did not only leap but flipped. Just when their lips joined into a soft kiss unlike the ones they have had, everything died out in her ears.
The cheering, shouting, whistling and clapping of the guests faded. Even her loud beating heart could not reach her rears. All her attention was focused on just Li Fengjin's lips and his hand rubbing soothingly on her flushed cheek.
She thought kissing in front of many people would be too embarrassing. She even had thought of covering her lips and Li Fengjin's with her hand. But who would have thought that it would not be so bad?
In fact, at the moment of the kiss, she felt as if she and Li Fengjin were the only ones in the church. The feeling was the same for Li Fengjin. He felt like he was walking on clouds.
Meanwhile, as the couple were kissing and the guests cheering their lungs out, Fu Bolin could not help but frown. He was feeling a pang in his heart as he watched the girl he dumped be so happy.
The selfish side in him came out all of a sudden. 'It's supposed to be me in his place right now. I dumped her... How could Bai Renxiang find a man better than me in all possible ways?'
Unknown to him, his wife, Han Yuri saw how he likes his 'classmate' or rather his ex. She felt a wave of jealousy hit her.
'Even after three years, that slut can't let my man be. She is just trying to make him jealous. I'm sure Li Fengjin is only with her to pass time for now,' Han Yuri kept harbouring negative thoughts about Bai Renxiang.
As for Lin Ying and Bai Ming, their hatred and envy only increased as if someone had added more wood and fuel to an already burning furnace.
Oblivious to these thoughts, the winter couple finally stopped kissing and were now paying attention to the priest.
"It is time for the unity ceremony. Please light the centre candle to symbolize the union of your life," he said.
Bai Renxiang and Li Fengjin walked to the candles their mothers had lit and picked them up. Taking just a step further, they stop before the unity candle on a golden stand.
The candle had the colour red as its overall colour with gold and white flower designs on it.
As both of them tilted their candle to the rope in the unit candle, it lit and the priest spoke.
"Today, as you have lit this candle, may the brightness of the flame shine throughout your lives together. May the twinkle of this one flame be a testimony of your unity."
Cheers and clapping followed after that.
Finally, the wedding ceremony came to an end. The newly wedded couple then matched down the aisle together as they left the church.
Following them were Ye Lee and Bai Xiaojin, An Daiyu and Gu Mingzhe. Then the maid of honour and best man, the remaining bridesmaid along with the groomsmen.
Lastly, the parents of the couple before everyone else leave in pairs and an orderly manner. As soon as they got outside to the compound, flashes of cameras went off to capture the couple.
After a few takes from friends and families, the couple exchanged a few words of thanks with guests who congratulated them. Just then a white Limousine with gold and red ribbons at the front, back and handles of the doors parked in front of the church's entrance just below the stairs.
It was time for the couple to leave for the preparation of the later party. Li Fengjin wrapped Bai Renxiang's hand around his folded arm and carefully walks her to their ride.
After getting into the car, they waved goodbye and the Limousine drove off at a steady speed. At the back, the guests could letterings, 'Newly Wedded Winter Couple' on a big wedding card.
Following them were different expensive cars. Others also left as they also wanted to prepare for the reception.
~Inside the Limo~
Bai Renxiang's dress occupied a lot of space. Li Fengjin had to sit on the opposite side. She flashed him an apologetic smile as she knew he liked hugging her whenever they drove together.
"Don't worry about it. I am still close enough," he said.
"Alright," she nodded.
"By the way, you look extremely beautiful, Mrs Li," Li Fengjin complimented her with a smile of his own.
Bai Renxiang blushed when he called her Mrs Li. That's right. She is now his lawfully wedded wife. Both on paper, name, in the witness of God and people.
It felt and sounded nice.
"I can say the same for you. You look more dashing than ever. My prince charming."
"Why, thank you, my princess," he did a dramatic bow.
They burst into a peal of happy laughter at their own childishness. Amidst their sweet voices, a faint growl was heard.
"Yikes! Someone must be hungry. Did you eat this morning?" Li Fengjin asked as he open the mini-fridge.
"I didn't. Oh, is that potato chips?" She pointed.
"Yeah. You want it?"
"Hmm. Just that. When we get home, I'll eat food."
Passing her the potato child, Li Fengjin took out a wine with a low alcohol percentage. He poured it into two champagne glasses and gave her one.
"Let us have a toast to us. For our marriage and a new journey ahead," he said.
"Hmm. Cheers."
CLINK
The couple continued to enjoy themselves as the driver drove to their house. They even played cool music and put on the party light to make things more vibrant.
