Chapter 3

Soon, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan's wedding was approaching and Jiang Cheng actually let them hold the wedding at Lotus Pier.

Wei Ying had shamelessly pestered Jiang Cheng and Jiang Cheng finally gave a harsh "Do what you want!"

Though deep inside, he was glad. This gave him an excuse to attend the wedding. A chance to get closer again.

Lan XiChen visited on behalf of Lan Zhan to handle the wedding preparations as Lan Zhan and Wei Ying were on their weekly night hunts with the juniors.

"WanYin, what do you think about the decorations?" XiChen asked.

Jiang Cheng did not reply and crossed his arms, giving an "I don't care" look.

Lan XiChen smiled. Just a minute ago Jiang Cheng was frantically telling the disciples what to do in detail.

"WanYin, take a rest. We'll finish tomorrow" Lan XiChen said. Jiang Cheng shook his head. "We have to finish by today"

"Why?" XiChen asked. Jiang Cheng paused for a while. "Tomorrow... I'll be visiting Maiden Wen."

Lan XiChen paused in shock. "I see..." he muttered.

Jiang Cheng wasn't an ungrateful person. At that time he just felt that Wei Ying was more important than his saviour.

Besides, Wei Ying was the first to bring up this topic. Jiang Cheng's only condition was not to let him run into Wen Ning.

Lan XiChen heartbrokenly walked away. 'That's right... he likes Maiden Wen...'

The next day, Lan XiChen was asked to go along. Knowing that his brother and Wei Ying will be being lovey dovey all the way, he decided to tag along as he'll be able to hang out with Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng glared at Lan Zhan disapprovingly the moment they met. "Hey hey. Jiang Cheng, don't stare at Lan Zhan like that!" Wei Ying stood between them.

Jiang Cheng gave a tsk and asked them to hurry up. On the way there, Jiang Cheng had to tolerate their flirting. Lan XiChen smiled as he prevented Jiang Cheng from smacking the heck out of Wei Ying.

When they were there, the two Lan brothers stood by the side. They weren't there to pay their respects as technically, they didn't really have a relationship with them. They just followed the person they love.

Wei Ying paid his respects first, in his mind, telling Wen Qing about recent few interesting events and to relax because Wen Ning and Ah Yuan is safe and sound.

When he was done, Lan Zhan grabbed his waist and gave him a kiss, trying to comfort him. Wei Ying smiled and kissed him back.

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at them and paid his respects. 'Maiden Wen... I'm sorry all this time.

I seriously thank you for treating me and helping me when I needed it and I am very sorry for turning my back against you. I won't ask for your forgiveness.

I know whatever excuses I have isn't a good enough reason but I hope you rest well. One more thing... Jin Ling told me... he sincerely likes your family's Ah Yuan.'

Lan XiChen watched as Jiang Cheng paid his respects. He couldn't help but get jealous, especially since Jiang Cheng was spending a long time talking to her.

As they made their way out, Wei Ying asked as he shoulder hugged Jiang Cheng "Jiang Cheng, you made sure that my wedding is well planned right?"

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and nudged him "Be glad if I don't destroy it"

"I know you won't" Wei Ying said with a grin. They had made up but Jiang Cheng couldn't help but remember about the golden core incident and Wei Ying still blames himself for the Jiang Sect deaths.

On the day of the wedding, it was chaotic. After the ceremony Lan QiRen had retired to his room as he couldn't stand the noise and rowdiness.

Jiang Cheng watched as Wei Ying talked to many people, drinking with them, with Lan Zhan standing beside him.

He had been downing alcohol like nobody's business and drank even more when he saw people gathering around Lan XiChen.

Jiang Cheng gave off a hostile aura so nobody dared approach him. Jiang Cheng drank and drank and suddenly shouted "Wei WuXian!!!"

Wei Ying immediately turned around. Jiang Cheng stormed towards Wei Ying while Lan XiChen excused himself and walked towards them.

Jiang Cheng raised his fist up. Lan Zhan widened his eyes as he moved in front of Wei Ying but Wei Ying stopped him.

Jiang Cheng got ready to punch but stopped when it almost hit Wei Ying's face. He lightly punched Wei Ying's shoulder then hugged him tight "Asshole! You're back..."

Wei Ying was surprised but hugged him back. No one knew how much Jiang Cheng regretted not helping to pull Wei Ying up from the cliff.

Blaming Wei Ying was the only way for Jiang Cheng to mask his sadness, his regret and his guilt. He never truly blamed Wei Ying. He just needed someone to blame to ease himself.

Jiang Cheng slumped on Wei Ying's shoulders as he continued mumbling. "He's drunk..." Wei Ying said as he patted Jiang Cheng's back.

Lan XiChen stepped forward and took Jiang Cheng from Wei Ying's arms. "I'll bring him to his room" Lan XiChen said as he carried Jiang Cheng bridal style and walked out.

Lan Zhan placed his hand on Wei Ying's back, giving him a comforting smile. Wei Ying smiled back and they got back to entertaining their guests.

Jiang Cheng was murmuring while staring at Lan XiChen. "Lan Huan, do you think of me like that too?"

"Hm?" XiChen asked as this was the only sentence he could hear clearly.

Jiang Cheng stared at him "Do you also think I'm reckless, thoughtless and hot headed? That I did not care about what would happen to my only sister and my senior brother?"

Lan XiChen stopped in his tracks and stared back at him. "Of course not. Everyone has their reasons for doing things. I know you made decisions you think was best."

Jiang Cheng let out a slight sarcastic laugh "Mn, I don't regret getting caught instead of Wei WuXian." Lan XiChen widened his eyes but Jiang Cheng continued speaking.
