    Chapter 152: The Wedding

    Chen Su furrowed his brow...

    The butler pushed open the study door, holding a bag of candy. Seeing Chen Su, he said, "Mr. Chen!"

    "Mm." Chen Su's eyes fixed on the bag in the butler's hand.

    "Oh, just dropping off some candy."

    The butler opened the candy bag, grabbed a few pieces and put them in the drawer. After he arranged them, Chen Su casually grabbed one.

    The butler reminded him, "The Commissioner wants you to cut back—one piece a day."

    "Okay."

    So Zhao Jinzong had known all along.

    The butler put away the candy and left. The feeling that had welled up in Chen Su quickly faded.

    Chen Su knew Zhao Jinzong was busy with wedding prep. Usually, couples decide these things together, but Zhao Jinzong hadn't involved Chen Su. Too many little details could stress you out. Chen Su just had to wait—let Zhao Jinzong handle everything and show up when told.

    Not many grooms were as chill as Chen Su.

    Chen Su stayed at home for two days before flying to the UK. When he landed, Zhao Jinzong came to pick him up. He took Chen Su's hand, took him to grab a bite first, and didn't once take him to the wedding estate. Instead, he took him to an archery club.

    Zhao Jinzong took Chen Su to do archery and shooting.

    This was a date.

    They were still on a date the day before the wedding.

    Zhao Jinzong placed a hand on Chen Su's shoulder, guiding his arm and teaching him to draw and aim.

    Chen Su's profile was striking. The moment the arrow flew, his smooth jawline and neck formed a perfect angle with the arrow, and the arrow hit the bullseye.

    By the time they left, it was evening.

    The Zhao family had arranged accommodations for arriving guests, and Uncle Wen was there to pick up the guests.

    Only the couple was left, leisurely strolling on their date.

    At dusk, Zhao Jinzong held Chen Su's hand as they walked back. The streets were bustling with people, the architecture completely different from back home. Blond hair, blue eyes—all sorts of people. The only constant was the Enigma's hand, holding his tight.

    Chen Su didn't know why, but his eyes felt a little teary.

    What did marriage mean to Chen Su?

    Three years ago, Chen Su saw it as a threat, something to hate.

    Now, it was completely different—beautiful, something to look forward to.

    Back at the hotel, Zhao Jinzong took a call. Chen Su greeted the guests, accompanied by a younger Zhao family member who introduced him to their guests. He was polite and composed.

    After dealing with the Zhao side, Chen Su went to another lobby.

    Meng Suizhi was sitting on the couch drinking, while Han Yu sat across from him. Xiao Li sat quietly in the corner with an orange juice in front of him. Ning Congnan and the professor had both shown up. Chen Su greeted each of them.

    At the door, Tanzhou arrived with an omega who had shoulder-length hair. He had one hand in his pocket, giving off a strong artistic vibe. His features were delicate, and he seemed gentle.

    Tanzhou smiled and said, "Congratulations."

    Tanzhou looked haggard. He asked, "Where's Jinzong?"

    Chen Su replied, "He took a call. Probably checking on the wedding details."

    Tanzhou nodded. "Mm."

    Chen Su's gaze shifted to the omega beside Tanzhou.

    Tang En extended his hand. "Tang En."

    Chen Su shook it. "Hello. I've heard Director Tan mention you often."

    Tang En smiled, knowing Chen Su was just being polite. He also knew Tanzhou never talked about his wife—a woman treated like a tool. Well, ex-wife now.

    Tanzhou said, "Tang En hates dealing with those old farts in the capital. I'll leave him here for now and come back for him later."

    Chen Su nodded. "Sure."

    Chen Su found Tang En a seat. Tang En sat down next to Xiao Li, who looked up and called him "brother" twice.

    Chen Su ruffled Xiao Li's hair. "This is Director Tan's friend. Keep him company, will you?"

    Xiao Li nodded. "Brother, are you nervous?"

    "Not really."

    Tang En smiled. "It's always like that before a wedding. Hard to sleep tonight."

    Tang En was the same—the night before marrying Tanzhou, he couldn't sleep.

    Marrying your childhood sweetheart, the alpha you'd secretly loved for years, was really lucky—even if it didn't end well.

    Chen Su smiled gently. "Hope I can sleep."

    Chen Su walked over to Meng Suizhi, who reeked of booze. He reminded him, "You've got tattoos now. Better ease up on the drinking."

    Meng Suizhi frowned and shot Han Yu a glare. "Mm."

    Chen Su greeted Professor Ning and then sat down to chat with everyone.

    Half an hour later, Zhao Jinzong arrived.

    Zhao Jinzong took Chen Su's hand, greeted everyone, and then led him to rest, leaving the rest to Tanzhou.

    Back in the room, Zhao Jinzong gave Chen Su a glass of water.

    After Chen Su drank it, Zhao Jinzong said gently, "Go shower. I'll stay with you and we'll rest."

    Chen Su showered, and they lay down in bed. Zhao Jinzong wrapped his arms around him. "All done with work?"

    "Mm, all done. I'll rest with you."

    "Okay." Chen Su leaned into Zhao Jinzong's embrace.

    Tomorrow was the wedding. He should've been nervous, but instead, Chen Su felt oddly calm, and soon fell asleep.

    The next morning, Xiao Li showed up early with breakfast. He took Chen Su to the dressing room to get changed. Zhao Jinzong put on his watch and left first.

    Chen Su came out after changing into his suit, and the stylist put hair wax in his hair.

    Xiao Li stood by the side and said, "Big Brother, I arrived a couple of days ago. The General Administration explained the wedding procedures to me. Later, we need to take a car to the manor."

    "Mm."

    Chen Su never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined how special today's wedding would be.

    or how meticulously Zhao Jinzong had planned everything.
