Finally the wedding preparation was in full swing. The guest started pouring in the garden one by one. Zi Peng noticed the number of people and gave a huge sigh. He went to his mother who was picking his coat.
"Dear Mother, what part of simple you didn't understand. Why did you invite so many people? I was expecting something like 10 or 20 maximum."
"Son, how can a Zi family wedding can have only 10 to 20 people? Comparatively this is the simplest we can get. Now stop complaining and be a good Son"
Zi Peng was able not to argue with his mother on this, so he said
"Mother, in that case I have one small request to you"
"What is it my dear, Mother will do anything you wish for? You don't have to request me".
His smiled and hugged his sweet talking Mother.
"Mother, I just want you secure the area around the bride. Don't let anyone other than Uncle Xue to access from outside."
Mother Zi understands her son without any further explanation.
"Okay, Now I will go and care out that. Meanwhile you should relax and reach the wedding area in time."
Mother Zi headed out to leave, but she suddenly came back to give a light kiss on her son Forehead.
"Zi Peng, I have always been proud of day ever since I had held you in my hands for the first time. But today you made your mother extremely proud. God bless you my dear son with all the happiness you desire"
Zi Peng felt very emotional hearing his mother. He is not sure about the reason behind his mother's words. But it felt really good hearing her words.
Shortly after that Zi Zexian entered his brother's room
"Wow big Bother, You look …." He stopped midway
Zi Peng was panicked for a moment. He wanted look perfect infront of his bride.
"Zexian, I look what?".. He hissed
"Sorry brother, I mean to say you look dashing and perfect."
Zi Peng smirked in acknowledgment and patted his brother shoulder.
"Big Brother, Come let's go and joined the guests everyone must be waiting for you."
"Okay, let's take a leave. Have this box at the back of jacket. Give me when I ask you."
He handed a rectangular sleek box in a thin beautiful gift wrap. Zi Zexian was puzzled, but didn't question his brother. He did what he was told.

There was little chaos outside the garden guest house. Father Xue went to pick her daughter noticed Xue Tingyi was quarrelling with Zi security personal. Deng Ling was present along with her daughter, but not asking her to stop.
"Xiao Tingyi, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind? Why are quarreling with security guys."
"Uncle, these guys are not letting me inside to see cousin Nuan. I and mother were made to stand outside for the past thirty minutes. Plus they are not letting anyone inside. I'm really worried about cousin. Please ask them to let me in." Xue Tingyi spoke in a sad tone.
Father Xue knows the intension behind the mother and daughter duo. However he wants to maintain peace for the sake of Xue Family and his younger brother. Plus today is the big day.
"Xiao Tingyi, relax dear. Let me find out what is real reason behind."
Father Xue looked at the head security person and asked
"May I know what is happening here, I don't recall appointing any security for my daughter? Who gave you orders to protect my daughter?"
"Sorry Mr.Xue, We didn't mean to be disrespectful towards Ms.Xue Tingyi. But she was hindering us from performing our duty. We were appointed by Madam Zi to guard Young Madam Zi.
Madam Zi gave us a strict order that no one is allowed to enter young madam zi premises except you sir."
Father Xue knows if Mother Zi did something, there must be strong reason. He was overwhelming with happiness that his daughter will be right hands from now on.
"Okay, you continue you work then. I will be back in a minute" he told to head security and turned to Xue Tingyi.
She started screamed after hearing the word Young Madam Zi
"Who is young madam Zi, she is still a Xue, who has the right to stop us Xue's. Uncle Xue, don't leave this matter easily. They are trying to do something to cousin Nuan."
Father Xue couldn't hold any longer
"Deng Ling, take your mad daughter and leave this place right this moment." He shouted in anger.
Mother and daughter vanished in a second. No one ever seen Father Xue this angry.
Father Xue took a long breath and went inside to get his daughter.
Xue Nuan was sitting by the window and French photographer was clicking her pictures. Father's Xue heart skipped a beat after seeing his daughter in white wedding gown. He waited for the photographer to finish clicking and went closer to his daughter.
The photographer asked permission to click both father and daughter candid moments. Father Xue happily agreed.
Father Xue gave a quick kiss on his daughter's forehead and said
"Xiao Nuan, I have never seen pure soul like you till now. You look very beautiful my dear! This Father will always pray that you will have a happy and content life Sweetie."
Xue Nuan hugged her sweet father. The wedding photographers were delight to capture these lovely moments.
Father Xue locked his daughter hand and guided her towards the garden. They arrived at the starting trial. There were small girls throwing flowers in the air.
Not only Zi Peng, everyone's heart stopped seeing the bride. Xue Nuan was looking a goddess descended from heaven. She was wearing boat neck thick satin Ball Gown with cap sleeves. She was net veil which flowing behind her like a train.
Few young fashionistas identified the unique hair pin of Xue Nuan to be similar to the collar pin of Zi Peng. Everyone murmured these both are really made for each other.
Deng Ling also noticed the similarity along with her daughter. They both were scheming for long time to stop the wedding from happening. Every time they were unsuccessful, they thought wedding dress malfunction at least will put a halt to wedding. But now Xue Nuan appeared like a goddess. They were breaking their heads wondering how Xue Nuan managed to find the alternative dress so quickly.
Xue Nuan was confident till the starting of the trail, but she was nervous as she was searching the podium. She don't know who is going to marry her today. She should have listened to her grandfather and met this person. She regretted for a moment. Her father sensed the nervousness and pressed his daughters in affirmation not to worry.
Xue Nuan reached the podium and lifted her head. She was shocked to smiling Peng in the place of Bridegroom. She thought herself 'is this some kind of prank or what?'
Looking at her puzzled face, Zi Peng requested the priest for few minutes.
Zi Peng came closer to Xue Nuan to hold her hands. Everyone including the Zi family was wondering what is happening
"Nuan, I am Zi Peng. I am sorry that I didn't disclose my full identity. I want this relationship to start on an honest note. I don't want hide anything from you. Will you forgive me and accept me as you husband."
Zi Peng spoke in a whisper where only Xue Nuan could only hear.
"Peng, I'm extremely lucky to be your wife. You are my life savior sent by the gods I believe"
He lifted her right hand and gave a kiss on her hands
"Then let's get married then my dear goddess, I can't wait anymore!" Zi Said as his heart filled with happiness.
The Entire Zi Family was shocked especially mother and Zi Zexian. But they were very happy to see Zi Peng this way. He was way cuter as a husband.
Priest coughed a little as they both were talking and everyone was in confused state. As couple returned to the ceremony. The wedding ceremony started smoothly.
