Chapter 24: The Wedding Day

Kim Eunji was with Madame Mo helping Kelly with her white wedding dress. Kelly and Mo Jing-sheng decided to do the Western style of wedding ceremony.

Kim Eunji was wearing a simple pink cocktail dress that hugged her curves perfectly. She wanted to wear a female suit but Kelly got mad all of a sudden to her as she said, "Come on Eunjiyah! You're a woman not a man. So act like one. Wear this dress or I won't talk to you the whole day!"

What Kelly meant was that she would be upset the whole day and would spoil the mood.

Kim Eunji sighed heavily as she knew she could not resist her moody friend therefore she had no choice but to obey her.

Kelly would always want Kim Eunji to wear a dress but Kim Eunji felt bare when she did. She became conscious that it made her uncomfortable.

That's why she's mad when Nathan asked her to wear a dress that night. She wowed that it would only be Kelly who could make her a dress however, that man made her broke that vow. She was glad that Nathan listened to her and they had never crossed paths since that night.

"You're so beautiful. No matter what other people would say about you, you're the most perfect daughter-in-law I ever wished for!" Madame Mo wholeheartedly praised Kelly that made Kim Eunji snapped back to reality.

Madame Mo then opened a jewelry box which contained a beautiful jade hairpin and a pearl necklace which matched her dress beautifully.

"My mother gave these hairpin and necklace to me when I got married to Mo Jing-sheng's father. And now as my daughter, I'm giving these to you."

"Thank you Mom." Kelly gratefully thanked Madame Mo with her eyes already tearing up. At the same time, she held on the items with care. These were the precious herloom of Madame Bai. A treasure.

"Don't cry. You're going to mess up your make-up again." Kim Eunji warned.

"Aish! I can't believe I'm marrying the man that I love today!" Happiness was overflowing in Kelly's eyes.

"Again." Kim Eunji emphasized.

They had already obtained their marriage certificates almost a month ago therefore, what they'll be doing now was the ceremony and the reception.

"Yes. My son's so lucky to have you." Madame Mo added.

"Nah, I'm the much luckier one between us." Kelly would never deny that before she met Mo Jing-sheng, she's kind of this happy go lucky young woman. But when he came into her life, he gave her the direction. He gave her another reason to live and another person to love and loved her back.

Madame Mo smiled in her heart. She thought that they had raised their son in vain. He's the only heir to Mo International after all. He had trained all his life to be this perfect son and heir. He had to be uptight and firm when making decisions.

Unlike Nathan, he was known to avoid women. He was this perfect son, perfect husband material.

That's why they were so happy that he announced he married a woman he had just met for a short period of time.

And she's contented with this daughter-in-law.

She could not help not to tear up as she thought all of these.

"Awe. Mom. Don't cry or else I'll cry, too." Kelly said as she's already emotional and seeing her mother-in-law tearing up as well on this special day made her more emotional.

Kim Eunji was genuinely happy for Kelly and she was touched when Madame Mo genuinely accepted Kelly.

"No more drama please. I'm afraid that the groom will barge in the room because he thought you my dear Kelly had run away." Kim Eunji interrupted.

Like on cue, someone knocked on the door. Kim Eunji decided to open the door and the emotional Mike Roland came in.

"Oh God! My Kelly's so beautiful. I can't believe that the little girl who would always have trouble sleeping unless she had no someone to hug to will be married again today!" Mike Roland had been with Kelly ever since his twin brother and sister-in-law passed away because of a very tragic car accident that made Kelly be in a vegetative state for three months as such a young age. He also thought that that accident would claim Kelly's life but Kelly's a fighter. She survived.

From that day onwards, he vowed to protect her.

She's the only family member that he had. He did not get married as he's afraid having a wife would upset his niece.

When Kelly woke up from the comma, she had no idea that her parents had already passed away therefore she thought that he was his brother, her father.

He didn't have the strong heart to let her know that she's an orphan. Therefore she let her call him Dad. Little did he know that Kelly was already aware of her parents death the moment she regained consciousness. But seeing her father's face once again made her a bit happy that she still had someone to call as 'Dad.'

'Is this how a parent would usually feel on their child's wedding day?' Mike Roland asked. Thanks to Kelly, he got the chance to experience being a her father. And for him, it's all worth it to become a father.

"Uncledad!" Kelly whined. She thought that she's ready to go out of the room but it turned out that they had to stay a bit longer to fix her make up.

***

The couple exchanged their vows in front of the people close to them or those closely related to them by the private beach. The guests were wearing white and something pink in them.

Since Kelly liked pink, Mo Jing-sheng did not hesitate and tell the wedding planner to have a pink motif wedding. Such a doting husband indeed.

Present on the wedding were the Mo Family and relatives, some of the higher executives of Mo International, Kim Eunji and Kelly's grandfather also made it in the last minute. Though Kelly's relatives on the maternal side were against the marriage of Kelly and Mo Jing-sheng, Patriarch Cui was supportive of his grand daughter's decision.

Some of Kelly's friends in college also came in the wedding.

Over all, the wedding is simple yet perfect for Kelly and Mo Jing-sheng.

After the couple sealed their wedding with a kiss, everyone cheered for them. Messages of best wishes echoed on the venue.

Kelly was smiling as she looked at the people cheering for them.

Kim Eunji teared up as she looked at how happy Kelly was. These tears were tears of joy as she looked at Kelly.

Finally! Kelly's dream of having a family of her own was now realized.

Thanks to Mo Jing-sheng, Kelly would never felt alone anymore.

Kim Eunji smiled as soon as Kelly looked at her. She then raised her two thumbs up and mouthed "Congratulations and I love you," to Kelly.

Kelly then mouthed back, "I love you, too."

Before they proceeded to the reception, Kelly then prepared unexpectedly tossed her bouquet towards the bride's maids' direction. Kim Eunji who had fast reflexes subconsciously caught the bouquet.

All eyes were now on her. Kim Eunji had already captured their attention since earlier.

"Eunjiyah! You're next! I wonder who the groom would be?" Kelly teased as she wink at her best friend.

However, Kim Eunji only chuckled because of Kelly's silliness.

'Marriage? Do I even deserve something as grand as this one?' Kim Eunji could not help not to be sad deep down.

No matter how hard she tried to change the way she lived, her past was still so big and huge that she could not simply avoided it or forget about it.

Good thing Kelly had already left when Kim Eunji had this thoughts or else the former would really be upset with it.

However, someone had seen it all too well.

The wedding reception was like those seen in Western wedding. Since the wedding was in pink and white motif, most of the chairs and tables had a touched of pink in it. Most of the flowers were pink and white too.

The Old Mo couple was not discouraged a bit by it. Though they were those who belonged to the those aristocratic and noble families, they were open-minded and adaptable to changes.

Kelly and Mo Jing-sheng came put together with Madame and Master Mo as they welcomed their guests on the reception.

Kelly was now wearing a red qipao with a golden embroidered pattern on it. Mo Jing-sheng was wearing a red suit with an embroidered dragon on its flannel.

Kelly then went directly to Kim Eunji and leaving Mo Jing-sheng a bit helpless.

They had just exchanged their vows and here she was, going to Kim Eunji like she's the most precious person to her.

Kim Eunji then poked Kelly's forehead as she said, "What are you doing here? Go back to your husband. This is your special day together."

"Eunjiyah! Don't you like me anymore?" Kelly's childish side would always be cute.

"Silly. Of course! Why would I not like you?" Kim Eunji asked back.

"Then, would I still be your favorite person even if you'll get married in the future?"

However Kim Eunji patiently answered her, "Shouldn't I be the one asking you that?"

Kelly grinned as she said, "Of course you're my most favorite person next to him." Kelly smiled as she looked at Mo Jing-sheng who was standing on the side talking to their guests.

"Eunjiyah...I'm happy." Kelly's eyes suddenly turned red as she said that. She's happy yet she felt sad as she thought that Kim Eunji might feel alone and lonely.

Should they blame this mood changes with Kelly's pregnancy hormones?

Yes.

"Oie! Don't cry." Kim Eunji then helped Kelly wiping her tears away with the help of the tissue.

"This is your big day. Go. Your husband's waiting for you to join him in entertaining your guests together. Don't worry about me. I can manage." Kim Eunji reassured.

Kelly was reluctant to leave. However as she saw that Kim Eunji was not sad at all, she then left and walked away towards Mo Jing-sheng.

The banquet then started and everyone shared a delicious meal. After they had their fill, the people close to them started to share their best wishes and blessings for the couple. They even gave their blessings to the future heir of Mo International.

Some thought that they got married because of her pregnancy but the couple had cleared their doubts saying that they had been married for quite some time now. And the child was not the fruit of a one night stand but the solid proof of their love.

Kim Eunji was not paying much attention though as she suddenly felt sleepy.

However, when a familiar baritone voice of a man echoed all of her sleepiness slipped away.

"Good afternoon."
