2 months later

The day of Quànrui and Elise's wedding finally came. It was considered a public holiday in China and was set on being broadcasted all over the country.

Elise was sat in the Bloom hotel owned by the royal family as she looked outside, the streets were decorated with photos and banners of both her and Quànrui. Smiling brightly, Elise opened the window to breathe in that soothing summer air.

Hearing a knock on her door, Elise jumped before walking over to it, she opened it to be met with Mary, Zai Zai and Chun.

"Bride!" The three said at the same time before tackling her with a big hug, Elise landed on the ground with the three women on top of her. Grunting, Mary, Zai Zai and Chun got off groaning and hissing in pain.

"Are you guys trying to kill me on my wedding day?" Elise groaned out as Zai Zai helped her up. "Of course not my Princess." Zai Zai said before winking at Elise who coughed embarassed.

"I told you guys to still be normal with me, i hate all that formality." Elise complained as Mary scoffed "You gonna hear it for the rest of your days anyways, like how the King and Queen addressed you the other day." Mary said as Chun looked at Elise confused.

" You met the King and Queen, when?" Chun asked as Elise sighed "3 days ago at a dinner organised by the royal family, i thought they would hate me but they welcomed me with open arms." Elise explained before Mary cut in.

"Literally! The Queen hugged Elise and told her she is the perfect selection for her son, i was shocked." Mary said as Zai Zai and Chun nodded pleased. "At least your in-laws love you." Chun said, Elise was about to reply before the door flunged opened again.

"I heard someone's getting married today." Jihyun said at the door as the four girls turned to look at her, Chun and Elise smiling brightly. "Jihyun!" Chun and Elise exclaimed as they ran up to her hugging her at the same time, Jihyun embraced them whole heartedly as the three let go at the same time.

"Elizabeth! I'm so proud of you!" Jihyun said pulling onto Elise's cheeks with her hands before letting go looking at everyone else in the room. "Hello girls." Jihyun said to Mary and Zai Zai who waved.

"We need to get you guys ready, are these your bridemaids Elizabeth?" Jihyun questioned as Elise smiled "Yes they are." Elise confirmed as Jihyun clapped her hands "Lovely! Follow me girls." Jihyun said leading them out of Elise's room.

On the other side of the city at the royal palace, Quànrui was already up and awake when Zhanghao and Jiwoong walked in, he was at his usual spot by the window looking out the royal garden.

"My Prince! Who will tie the knot in a couple of hours." Zhanghao said as Quànrui turned around and smiled. "Hey Hao." Quànrui said, Jiwoong closed the bedroom door once Zhanghao entered and stood by it securely.

"Are you excited? You're getting married!" Zhanghao said as Quànrui took a deep breath "This is the happiest day of my life, I'm just...nervous." Quànrui stated as Zhanghao nodded "I'm gonna be you and more in 6 months." Zhanghao said causing Quànrui to smirk.

"You proposed to Jeongeui?" Quànrui asked as Zhanghao nodded "As soon as her father was incarcerated, i wasted no time, we plan on moving to London after our wedding." Zhanghao said excitedly, Quànrui patted his shoulder fondly.

"I'm happy for both of you, you deserve to be happy as well as Jeongeui." Quànrui said as Zhanghao smiled "This wouldn't be possible without you Quànrui, now come on! We have to ready so you can get married!" Zhanghao urged as he grabbed on his arm dragging him out of his room.
