Chapter 33 – Thoughts

"Young Miss, just try on the phoenix coronet (bride's headdress) and the embroidered wedding dress. Tomorrow is the wedding day, what's to be done if it doesn't fit?"

Gazing at the soaring phoenix embroidered wedding dress for a moment, Ye Huaiyang finally spoke, "Bring it over."

This set of wedding dress and that piece of lotus-leaf double carp sapphire pendant were things that her parents put aside for her before they left. Their natural dispositions were sanguine that they yearned for the mountains and rivers. Not knowing when they would return, both husband and wife had prepared her dowry in advance. So, even if they couldn't be there when she gets married, she could at least be touched with their keepsake.

All these things were originally kept in the clan family home. Seeing that she had moved here, Ye Huaixin sent everything over. Yue'ya had first sorted out the wedding dress and jewelry before placing all out for almost a month, yet Ye Huaiyang didn't glance at them even once which was truly worrisome. She didn't know what had happened. Now that she was willing to try them on, Yue'ya was able to release a breath of relief.

The moment Ye Huaiyang walked out from behind the screen after changing her clothes, all the maidservants in the room were rendered speechless.

Such a beautiful woman was capable of causing the down-fall of a country*.

[T/N: 倾国倾城 (Qīng guó qīngchéng) – all over the country which also mean devastatingly beautiful. Ancient scholars analysed through history that such women were disasters whose beauties were enough to overwhelm the country or allure the country which also meant overthrowing the state. Later, people agreed to use it to describe a woman with a beautiful appearance. This idiom has been used as a compliment for the stunning beauty, and has no derogatory meaning. The inclination here is not meant to be overturned, but should be understood as admiration.]

Restraining her exclamation of astonishment, Yue'ya was thinking about what sort of makeup to match this gorgeous attire when Ci Yuan suddenly knocked on the door from outside and said, "Young Miss, Elder master is here."

There was a moment of silence behind the door before the almost inaudible soft voice of Ye Huaiyang resounded, "Got it."

All the servants in Ye manor were most afraid of Ye Huaili and if possible they would wish to hide from him, so who would dare stop him from going towards Ye Huaiyang's room? He proceeded without hindrance and halted for a few seconds when he passed by Lingyun Pavilion before walking to her bed chamber. Once he pushed the door open, Ye Huaiyang in a bright red wedding dress barged into his line of vision.

As far as he could remember, Ye Huaiyang was fond of light-colored dresses and had never been so dazzling as she was at this moment. The hanging golden silk beads along with the soaring phoenix, set off her loveliness and femininity vividly.

She deserved to marry someone better.

Thinking of this, Ye Huaili's heart turned hardened again. He grabbed Ye Huaiyang's arm and asked coldly, "Are you bent on marrying Chu Jinglan?"

"Elder Brother doesn't even compliment me when you are here. Don't I not look good in this?" Perking her pink lips, she casually walked in circles which obviously was not taking his chastisement seriously.

Ye Huaili simply couldn't get angry facing her delicate and soft look. He took a deep breath as he suppressed the stuffiness and contained the temper within his chest when he urged her, "Yang'er, listen to Elder Brother, he is not suitable for you."

Lowering her head, Ye Huaiyang fiddled with the fringes on the hem, exposing the glowing pinkish neck which looked extremely lovely and cute. However, who knew she would suddenly spat out these words that almost infuriated Ye Huaili to death, "But I just like him."
