Chapter 9

The warm morning sunlight streamed through the windows of the Xian family home, casting a cheerful glow on the preparations underway. Xiao Zhan stood in the living room, surrounded by wedding decorations and a flurry of activity. His brother, Zhuo Cheng, was finally tying the knot with his beloved fiancée, Mei Ling, and the entire family was involved in making the day perfect.

"A'Zhan, can you check if the flowers have arrived?" His mother called from the kitchen, her voice slightly muffled by the boxes she was unpacking.

"On it!" Xiao Zhan replied, heading towards the front door just as the delivery truck pulled up. The florist's assistants began unloading a variety of beautiful blooms-roses, lilies, and orchids-each more vibrant than the last.

"These look amazing," Xiao Zhan said, admiring the flowers. He signed for the delivery and began directing the placement of the arrangements throughout the house.

As he worked, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. It had been nearly a year since his own arranged marriage to Wang Yibo, and though their relationship had started off rocky, it had gradually evolved into something deeper.

Watching Zhuo ge marry for love brought a sense of joy and a tinge of wistfulness to his heart.

In the midst of arranging the flowers, Xiao Zhan heard a familiar voice behind him. "Hey, lil brother, those flowers look great! Mei Ling is going to love them."

Xiao Zhan turned to see Zhuo Cheng, his face lit up with excitement. "Thanks, Zhuo ge. Everything's coming together nicely. How are you feeling?"

"A bit nervous but mostly excited," Zhuo Cheng admitted, running a hand through his hair. "I just want everything to be perfect for Mei Ling."

"It will be," Xiao Zhan assured him with a smile. "We've got everything under control."

Just then, Lu Jie emerged from the kitchen, balancing a tray of tea and snacks. "Alright, break time! We all need to recharge before the final push."

The three siblings sat down together, enjoying a brief moment of calm amidst the chaos. They reminisced about their childhood, shared laughs, and expressed their hopes for the future.

"You know, Zhan," Lu Jie said, sipping her tea, "seeing you and Mr. Wang makes me believe in love even more. It wasn't easy, but you two found a way to make it work."

Xiao Zhan smiled, feeling a warmth spread through him. "Thanks, Jie. I think we're still finding our way, but it's worth it."

As the day wore on, the preparations continued with renewed energy. Mei Ling arrived later in the afternoon, her presence bringing a new level of excitement. She was a vision in her wedding dress, her eyes shining with happiness as she joined in the final touches for the ceremony.

That evening, under a canopy of twinkling lights, Zhuo Cheng and Mei Ling exchanged their vows and rings. The ceremony was a beautiful testament to their love and commitment, surrounded by family and friends who celebrated their union.

Xiao Zhan watched his brother and new sister-in-law with a full heart, feeling grateful for the love that bound their family together. As he stood beside Wang Yibo, he realized that despite the ups and downs, he was exactly where he was meant to be.

The sun was setting over Shanghai, casting a warm glow over the bustling city.
