Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day Chapter 1610 Wedding Venue

Xia Wanyuan toyed with the jewelry clutched in her hand, shaking her head with a light chuckle. "Actually, I want to hold a simple wedding."

As far as she was concerned, having Jun Shiling, the children, and a handful of close friends would suffice. Yet, considering their current statuses, pulling off a simple wedding was utterly impossible.

She had always detested that sensation of lacking control. Still, society brimmed with all kinds of unavoidable compromises.

Thankfully, Jun Shiling stood by her side in this lifetime. Even amid occasional helplessness, she found herself willing to yield.

"How can it be simple?" A sly grin lit up Bo Xiao's fox-like eyes. "CEO Jun's intentions are way too clear. He wants the whole world to know you've wed him—even down to inviting the ants scurrying on the ground."

Bo Xiao's words brought a flush to Xia Wanyuan's cheeks. "It's not that exaggerated."

"Why not? He…" Bo Xiao started to continue, but spotting Jun Shiling approach, he promptly held his tongue. Flashing a playful grin, he yanked An Rao closer. "The star has arrived. We'll head out to try on outfits first. You two talk."

With those words, Bo Xiao wrapped An Rao in his arms and departed the living room.

In the last few days, Xia Wanyuan wasn't the only one donning gowns daily—Jun Shiling had joined in too. Right then, he sported a deep navy suit, exuding quiet nobility. Though thoroughly acquainted with him, Xia Wanyuan's eyes sparkled with unmistakable awe at his appearance.

Jun Shiling extended his hand to Xia Wanyuan. "Get up. I'll take you somewhere."

"Where are we going?"

Xia Wanyuan set her items aside and clasped Jun Shiling's hand. Seizing the chance, he drew her into his embrace. "A place I've prepared for ages."

Puzzled, Xia Wanyuan gazed at Jun Shiling. I spend nearly every day with him. What could he have arranged without my knowledge?

Jun Shiling's lips curved in a smile as he led Xia Wanyuan outside. The car sped from the manor, swiftly reaching Beijing's vastest palace complex.

Xia Wanyuan passed this area often, but hadn't realized the palace grounds had transformed dramatically. Crimson lanterns dangled overhead, red silks billowing in the breeze. Despite curtains veiling the outer walls, floral scents drifted beyond them.

A startling notion dawned on Xia Wanyuan. She turned to Jun Shiling. "Did you transform this place…?"

Jun Shiling gave a nod. "It demanded considerable effort, but the result is splendid."

Presently China's grandest and most treasured palace ensemble, the Forbidden City normally hosted only exhibits, never yielding to private bookings. Yet, Jun Shiling mobilized extensive networks, bolstered by his and Xia Wanyuan's immense sway, convincing administrators that their union's global buzz would cover years of advertising expenses.

A confluence of factors ultimately produced this outstanding result.

"Why select this spot?" Xia Wanyuan wondered. "Actually, the wedding location doesn't matter."

"Because I wish to offer you the very best." Jun Shiling clasped Xia Wanyuan's hand firmly.

He had mulled over countless wedding venue ideas before settling on this ancient palace, emblematic of supreme authority.

In his view, no other place deserved Xia Wanyuan.

Warmth bloomed in Xia Wanyuan's heart as she fell silent. "Then, can we peek inside now?"

"No." Jun Shiling gently tucked back the stray locks at Xia Wanyuan's temples. "You'll behold it tomorrow. Rest easy tonight, my bride."
