"Boss, I just received a message from the wedding planner," Dom said. "She said that sir boss and his groomsmen already arrived in the indoor forest. Everyone is ready. They're just waiting for us."
"I see," Iris murmured while taking a final look at herself in the wall mirror. "We should get going, then. I don't want to keep everyone waiting for too long."
"Mama, so pwetty!" Little Jun said for the sixth time. He couldn't stop staring at his Mama Xiulan ever since she stepped out wearing her wedding gown.
Iris chuckled and caressed her godson's chubby cheek. "Thank you, Little Jun. You look very dashing today."
The little guy giggled and hugged his mother's neck who was carrying him."Where's Ice Cream and Popcorn?" Iris asked Dom.
"Don't worry, Boss. The catsitters already brought them to the indoor forest, plus the two big tablets for Baby Ketchup and Baby Bacon."
Iris nodded, satisfied that everything was going smoothly.
"How are you feeling, Xiulan?" Meimei asked. The makeup artist did an excellent job in covering up her unhealthy pallor, dark circles, and the swollen bags under her eyes.
Iris took a moment to examine her feelings before answering Meimei. "I thought I would feel nervous but I actually feel calm right now. No, calm is not accurate. It's more like I'm at peace because this moment feels so…right."
Dom and Clover sighed dreamily at her answer. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces). If you're not reading this chapter on W e b n o v e l, it has been stolen.

"You don't feel excited?" Meimei asked next."Of course, I feel excited. But it's the peaceful kind of excitement."
Long Jinjing touched Iris' arm and smiled at her. "I'm so happy for you, Little Sister Xiulan."
"Thank you, Big Sister Jinjing."
"I just still find it hard to believe sometimes that you, the youngest among us siblings, are the first one to marry."
Iris only smiled because she didn't know how to respond.
"But looking at you and Brother-in-law Liwei is enough explanation. The two of you are perfect for each other."
Iris beamed.
"Come on, ladies!" Chen Fei's voice interrupted. "Let's not keep the groom waiting any longer or he might barge in here and drag Xiulan down the aisle. It's obvious that the man can't wait to marry Xiulan."
"Liwei won't do that because we're already married," Iris said in amus.e.m.e.nt. "You already know that we went to the Civil Affairs Bureau yesterday so that Liwei and I could get our official marriage certificate. Today is just the wedding ceremony and celebration with our family and friends."
Chen Fei rolled her eyes but everyone knew that she wasn't being mean about it. She hadn't called Iris a bitch ever since learning that Iris was pregnant.
"I know that you're already married since yesterday but what I mean is that your man can't wait to have you by his side because a certain someone's boyfriend insisted that the two of you had to sleep in different rooms and not see each other before today's ceremony."
Long Jinjing bit her lower lip. "I'm sorry, little sister. I tried persuading Ni-Zihao so many times yesterday to not interfere with you and Brother-in-law Liwei but he just wouldn't listen and change his mind."
Iris chuckled. "It's fine, Big Sister Jinjing. Big Brother is very traditional when it comes to things like marriage. That's just the way he is."
Her friends didn't look like they quite believed her, especially Long Jinjing, but they didn't argue. She also didn't bother trying to convince them about her brother's old-fashioned beliefs. Her mind today was preoccupied with thoughts of her husband, Jin Liwei.
"Let's go," she announced in a soft voice.
