His Eccentric Wife

Dressed in a light blue colored gown that she had paired with simple diamond earrings, a diamond bracelet, and silver heels she was looking very pretty. Bored and annoyed out of her wits Yu Yan just wanted all this to be over soon so she could go back home and relax. Her mother was busy socializing with her high-society friends while Li Qiang was discussing business with other men. Her would-be in-laws still hadn't accepted her completely so they were obviously not there with her. She was left alone, just like always. It wasn't new to her, being left alone was something that she had experienced since her mother remarried when Yu Yan was only 10 years old. But that doesn't mean that it didn't hurt.

She sighed and sat down on a chair and kept staring around, looking at the hustle bustle with tired eyes. The tiredness vanished momentarily when she saw Li Qiang look up at her and smile. Though he once again got involved in his earlier going conversation but that moment gave Yu Yan hope that all was not lost.

Dylan was having a hard time trying to stay awake as the wedding ceremonies had just begun. He had been shooting for a Chinese drama a few of which's scenes were being shot in Italy. He then had traveled back just in time for Xin Qian's wedding, so he didn't have the time to take proper rest. And that is why he was feeling bleary-eyed.

"Aye! Why don't you go and lie down for some time? Qi Qi won't mind." said Arianna rubbing soothing circles on his back.

"Nah! I want to watch this whole thing, it's a best friend's duty!" he reasoned.

Julian's brows rose in amusement, "This isn't a drama or something. Stop with the cheesy lines, go back to the room and rest for a while."

Dylan was about to reply but stopped when his blurred sight fell on something shiny. He rubbed his eyes wanting to have a better view of what was so shiny. And when he was finally able to see properly, he saw the most beautiful woman in the world, an angel. His lips curved upwards in a wide smile, "Is it just me or you all can see the angel as well. Ah!" he sighed.

His friends stared into the direction of his sight and found nothing except a showpiece, "You are starting to hallucinate now! D, you have been awake for more than 30 hours, you must go to sleep!"

Dylan looked again and found that his angel was gone, maybe he really was hallucinating. So he finally paid heed to his friends and went back to the hotel room to get the much-needed sleep.

Xin Qian could feel it in her bones. The moment the wedding ceremony was over, the moment when she was announced to be Wang Yong's wife, she felt happiness and something akin to satisfaction run through her. She was feeling overwhelmed, this was totally new for her. The feelings that she was experiencing right now were something that she had never felt before. This kind of weird feeling, could this be the same one about which she had read in novels and watched in dramas. Is it real?

Though officialy they had been husband and wife on papers already as they had obtained their marriage certificate two days prior but this ceremony kind of cemented that fact that they were married. Xin Qian swayed a little but controlled as she was aware that they were being watched, that their actions were being recorded by the media and she sure didn't want an embarrasing click or video of hers to go viral.

Wang Yong, on the other hand, was feeling completely satisfied as if he had achieved something huge. Finally the woman who could actually form a space for herself in his heart became his wife. Their marriage certificate was like a deal that needed to be signed and this wedding was as if he had finally locked the deal. Complicated, no? Weird, yes? But overall it was a very satisfactory experience for him.

And to add to it was the fact that he had some leavrage over others in business. Be it his competitors, or his rivals in his own family with the exception of his stepbrother. Though Jiang (his stepbrother) had joined the family business but he was actually there to learn the basics as he planned to start a company of his own the next year. But he had some relatives who want to take his place.

So now that he had Xin Qian by his side and the support of the Zhao family, he was at advantage in the business and in person life as well.

It was when the after party started that Abigail went to wake up Dylan who had slept throughout the wedding ceremony and the lunch. Those few hours of sleep managed to refresh him. He changed into black trousers, a white shirt and a blue blazor as the clothes he was wearing before were now wrinkled.

Wang Yong and Xin Qian had changed their outfits as well. Wang Yong was looking handsome and sharp, dressed in a slate grey tuxedo while Xin Qian was looking gorgeous as ever in blush pink colored gown that had the same colored embroidery work done over it in a flowery pattern. The gown had sheer sleeves with some embroidery details. Xin Qian had paired it with simple diamond studs, she had her hair open and was wearing comfortable white wedges.

Together the were looking like a royal couple, regal and classic. A just out of story book couple like. After a few photos with the family and some of them with just two of them, the couple was greeted by Xin Qian's friends.

"Congratulations!!" Abigail yelled and hugged Xin Qian tightly. She then moved over to Wang Yong and gave him a tight hug as well, making the man's cheeks redden by the shade of blush.

"You have to take extra special care of my friend otherwise, considering what my profession is and the high end contacts that I have, dude you better careful." Abigail warned. She was standing on front of Wang Yong with her hands placed on his either shoulders as she looked into his eyes, warning him of consequences of hurting Xin Qian.

Wang Yong felt it in his bones, he actually felt a chill tingle up his spine. Intimidated was one feeling that he had never felt till now, but hey! who will ever know that this petite woman was scaring him if he would never tell anybody?!

Wang Yong managed to put up a calm and composed face and he replied, "You don't have to worry, I intend of taking extra special care of her, just like you said."

Xin Qian rolled her eyes but she did felt happy hearing Wang Yong's reply, "These are my best friends." she did the introductions.

Wang Yong didn't actually mind that she had male best friends with whom she was so close but there was this one particular best friend regarding whom Wang Yong had the urge to crack something.

"And this is Li Yi Feng, he's the chief of poilce of City A." was what Xin Qian said.

"And her ex-boyfiend." was what Li Yi Feng added.

Xin Qian glared at Li Yi Feng for saying that out loud, especially in front of Wang Yong but the former had his concentration on Wang Yong while the rest of her friends snickered in the background, passing mischievous looks to each other.

Wang Yong and Li Yi Feng kept on staring at each other, Wang Yong was more like glaring at Li Yi Feng in annoyance. Xin Qian wanted to dig a hole and push her friends into it for pulling this stunt. Others would think that Li Yi Feng was creating trouble by professing that he had some claim on Xin Qian first but the reality was that all this was just another prank, a crazy test thing orchestrated by her friends.

"An ex, ah! Nice to meet you and its no surprise that you are still friends with my wife. She is amazing, isn't she?" Wang Yong's tone was extra sugary as he held Xin Qian's hand in his and kissed the back of it, staking his own claim on her as he emphasized on the words 'my wife'.
