A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 381 The Light Show Is for You

The lift went down and its bright, tough doors opened, then Su Yicheng released Luo Xiaoxi.

Luo Xiaoxi pressed her lips together and tried to hold back a smile. She said, “Can we leave like this?”

“Xiao Chen and Yuechuan will handle it.” Su Yicheng took off his coat and put it on Luo Xiaoxi. He said, “If we don’t leave now, we won’t be able to leave until tomorrow morning unless they drink me under the table.”

Luo Xiaoxi looked Su Yicheng up and down, saying, “Mr. Su, you seem to be in a hurry.”

Su Yicheng checked the time, thinking, “We’ll be late if I don’t hurry up.”

He instantly took Luo Xiaoxi’s hand and walked out of the hotel.

An attendant had stopped the car in front of the hotel. Su Yicheng tipped him and took the car keys. He opened the door and motioned for Luo Xiaoxi to get inside. He said, “Come with me.”

Luo Xiaoxi had thought he was in a hurry to get home.

From his words, however, he was not going home.

Luo Xiaoxi got into the car expectantly. Five minutes later, they arrived at Jiangbian in the downtown area.

Jiangbian was the most popular scenic spot in City A. It was around midnight and there were few tourists there. The buildings along both sides of the river were reflected in the water, producing a more prosperous city scenery.

“Why did you take me here?” Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng with doubt. “Are you going to say you love me with the river water as witness?”

Su Yicheng looked at his watch again; there were only three seconds left.

He pointed at the sky and motioned for Luo Xiaoxi to look up. At that moment, with a big “bang—” sound, beautiful fireworks flew straight into the sky, blooming gorgeously in the air.

It was like the bell that announced the start of a feast. Immediately afterward, the lights of the landmark building across the river, as well as dozens of other edifices, were all turned on, which lit up the entire east bank at once.

The lights flickered with colorful beams, showing too many polychrome images for their eyes to take in. The fireworks bloomed in the night sky one after another as if to light up the entire city.

The riverside, which had been quiet because it was late at night, suddenly became lively again. Lots of people gathered there to enjoy the surprising fireworks and light show.

Luo Xiaoxi sat in the car, staring at the gorgeous scenery outside, speechless—she didn’t know what to say.

Although City A didn’t ban fireworks, the municipal bureau would absolutely not allow a large number of fireworks like that to be displayed on ordinary days. She couldn’t imagine how much effort Su Yicheng had spent to communicate with the administration.

The light show appeared to be easy to organize, but actually that was much more difficult than a firework show. Besides the designing, it would have been a huge project to synchronize dozens of buildings.

Su Yicheng had done all that for her.

Su Yicheng opened the door and said, “How about watching them outside?”

Luo Xiaoxi nodded vacantly and followed Su Yicheng to the riverside.

Just then, a giant firework bloomed above their heads. After the dazzling fire lights, a line of English letters appeared in the night sky: I LOVE YOU.

Luo Xiaoxi looked up into the sky, unconsciously turning her lips into a smile. She felt surrounded by those letters.

Su Yicheng hugged her from behind to shelter her from the cold winds and said, “I wanted them to be Chinese characters, but the meteorological bureau said that the wind direction tonight was unpredictable, and the firework designer could not guarantee that the complex Chinese characters could appear whole in the air.”

Luo Xiaoxi knew that. It was easy to design the shape of a firework while it was difficult to design it into texts because the constantly changing winds would blow away the strokes. It was hard indeed for Su Yicheng to have designed the line of English letters.

The fireworks continued blooming, lighting up the night sky above City A as well as Luo Xiaoxi’s mood.

Luo Xiaoxi turned and said to Su Yicheng, “Have you ever thought about what to do if the fireworks are scattered by the winds after they fly into the sky?”

“I arranged someone in the meteorological bureau. So I know exactly if there will be wind tonight,” Su Yicheng said with leisure, “and even if that happens, I could still handle it.”

With that, he motioned for Luo Xiaoxi to look at the river.

At that moment, the landmark building across from the river suddenly shed a light on the wide river, displaying a line of Chinese characters: Luo Xiaoxi, I love you.

The lights from dozens of buildings across the river flashed more gorgeously, forming a visual feast. The drowsy city was awakened while the sparkling river was shining gloriously, and the riverside was filled up with more and more people. The lights of nearby residential areas were gradually turned on with people standing on their balconies. The reporters who arrived for the news raced against the clock to record the once-in-a-lifetime moment.

Luo Xiaoxi was immersed in Su Yicheng’s arms. Looking at the Chinese characters over the river, she felt something had occupied her heart and it nearly flowed from within. She looked back at Su Yicheng, saying, “Thank you. Though I have known you for so many years, today I realized for the first time that you’re such a romantic man.”

To his ex-girlfriends, Su Yicheng had either sent flowers or brand-name products, which had been disdained by Luo Xiaoxi. She had thought that his way of showing kindness was nothing new, though it could please women.

Su Yicheng gazed at Luo Xiaoxi, and the darkness could not cover up the deep love in his eyes. He said, “You made me a romantic man.”

He really loved her, and he thought that even though he had racked his brains to prepare these things for her, it was far from enough.

Luo Xiaoxi could not deny that she had been completely moved by his words.

The fireworks and light show lasted for 20 minutes, and according to Mrs. Luo, that stood for “loving you”.

When all that ended, the reporters who had gone there to take photos noticed Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi. They tried to get close to the couple to do an interview. Su Yicheng politely refused them and took Luo Xiaoxi back to the car.

It was warm in the car. Luo Xiaoxi took off Su Yicheng’s coat and threw it on the back seat. After the car started, she braced her head and rubbed his leg with the toe of her high heels. She asked, “When did you start to plan all this?”

“The day after you came to visit me the first time when you returned.”

That morning, Su Yicheng hugged Luo Xiaoxi, and for the first time, he said “let’s get married”, which was rejected by Luo Xiaoxi.

After thinking it over, he realized that Luo Xiaoxi had lost much and borne pressure that ordinary people couldn’t imagine. She had gone through all that for 10 years and finally started a relationship with him, so she wouldn’t marry him that easily.

That was why he had planned all that himself, including having the ring customized, asking Levine to design the dress for Luo Xiaoxi, finding the best designers for the light show and firework effects, coordinating the lighting of dozens of buildings, as well as keeping it secret from Luo Xiaoxi.

He had taken great pains to oversee every detail, for he only wanted to hear Luo Xiaoxi say: “Yes, I will marry you.”

Luo Xiaoxi changed her pose and rubbed Su Yicheng’s leg again. She said, “So that’s why you asked Levine to design a dress for me today.”

Exactly, on that night, Su Yicheng wanted Luo Xiaoxi to be the most beautiful focus.

He tilted his head and glanced at Luo Xiaoxi. She was lazily bracing her head while stretching out her slender calves to him coquettishly, with her exquisite figure outlined by the dress.

He squinted, saying, “Are you on fire?”

“No.” Luo Xiaoxi gave him a faint smile and rubbed Su Yicheng twice with the toe of her shoes. But she said in a serious voice, “You’re driving, stay focused.”

Su Yicheng could hardly get himself focused, but he took a deep breath and stepped on the accelerator. Then the car drove to the underground parking lot of the apartment.

As Luo Xiaoxi was about to get out of the car, she was suddenly off the seat—Su Yicheng picked her up and carried her out of the car.

She struggled and said, “What are you doing?”

Su Yicheng quickly carried Luo Xiaoxi into the lift, pinned her against the wall, and eagerly kissed her lips before the doors closed.

“Don’t...” Luo Xiaoxi stopped Su Yicheng in time and pointed at the security camera. She said, “Don’t forget that they are watching the apartment monitors 24 hours a day.”

Su Yicheng looked at it, and for the first time, he felt that its existence was very unsightly. He sheltered Luo Xiaoxi and whispered to her, “After we get the licenses, we’ll move to the villa in the suburbs.”

“Why?” Luo Xiaoxi was puzzled. “Didn’t you think it convenient for you to commute when you bought it?”

“Things changed,” Su Yicheng said with a mysterious look on his face, “it’s more convenient to live in a villa now.”

The entire big villa belonged to them, he wouldn’t worry about the monitors when they were kissing, and other strangers behind the monitors wouldn’t be able to see how sexy Luo Xiaoxi was.

Luo Xiaoxi finally knew what Su Yicheng was thinking. She patted his neckline with a smile and said, “We haven’t had a wedding yet, my parents won’t agree that I should live with you!”

Su Yicheng laughed and said nothing.

If Luo Xiaoxi had said those words before that day, she might be right. But after talking with her father just a while ago, he was sure that if she moved in with him, he wouldn’t stop it.

“Leave it to me,” Su Yicheng said confidently, “you just need to go home and pack.”

As Su Yicheng’s voice died down, the lift doors opened with a “ding”. He held onto Luo Xiaoxi as they walked out and couldn’t wait to kiss her lips.

It was a one-family, one-staircase apartment, so he needn’t worry about the monitors, let alone worry about encountering other people.

Luo Xiaoxi then began to enjoy Su Yicheng’s kiss. The two hugged and kissed each other all the way to the door. When they got into the house, Luo Xiaoxi’s dress was messy and Su Yicheng’s tie had been ripped off, with his shirt partly unbuttoned.

Su Yicheng looked at Luo Xiaoxi with enthusiasm and closed the door with a “bang”. He cupped her waist from behind and pinned her against the door with a deep smile in his eyes.

Luo Xiaoxi had never seen Su Yicheng smiling like that. She looked at him with doubt, saying, “Are you a fool?”

Su Yicheng didn’t mind at all being made fun of by Luo Xiaoxi. He said, “Xiaoxi, I’m very happy.”

In terms of regulating his moods, Su Yicheng did as well as Lu Boyan. As long as they wished, no one could tell whether they were happy or angry.

They were in high positions, holding the lifeblood of an enterprise, and they hardly took the initiative to express their emotions.

Because they needed to stay calm and make correct judgments of current situations.

That was the first time that Su Yicheng had said he was very happy.

Luo Xiaoxi knew that he meant his words, without any false display of his affections, so she decided to make Su Yicheng happier.

She unbuttoned Su Yicheng’s shirt and unknowingly or accidentally touched Su Yicheng’s sharp abdominal muscles. He took a deep breath and said, “Xiaoxi?”

Luo Xiaoxi made a “hush” gesture, threw off her high heels, and kissed Su Yicheng’s lips as he usually did. She kissed him from his lips to eyes, to the neck and collarbone, searching for his most vulnerable part.

Su Yicheng slowly realized what Luo Xiaoxi wanted to do. But after all that happened that night, his patience had been exhausted.

He picked Luo Xiaoxi up and carried her into the bedroom. He placed her on the bed and said, “Xiaoxi, you are not skilled enough.”

“...” Luo Xiaoxi felt unconvinced, with her eyes widened—that was not what she had expected! She had expected Su Yicheng to be... uh, on fire before her lure!

“That’s Ok,” Su Yicheng gently brushed Luo Xiaoxi’s long hair on her cheek and said, “I can teach you.”

Then it was Mr. Su’s teaching time.
