You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 618 The Wedding (Part Three)

Since it was late autumn, they dressed Van in a long dress that almost covered his ankles, so that he would not catch a cold. Moreover, they asked him to wear woolen socks for added comfort and warmth. Van obediently let them dress him while Don stood at the door and stared at them.

Seeing that they had even put a wig on his brother, Dan could not help laughing. However, when Van glared at him, he turned away, covering his mouth.

Dora was just walking in when Don clung onto her legs.

"What's the matter? Are you Van or Don?" Dora asked.

"I am Don, Dora!" Don yelled as he held onto Dora's legs, acting like a spoiled child. "Can you take a picture of me and my brother? Make sure to take a good one. I want to get it framed, okay?" Dora was expecting that he would ask her something more important, and not just a simple task of clicking a photo.

"Okay, handsome boy! By the way, where is Van? As soon as we're done clicking your photo, we need to go downstairs, okay? Your dad has picked up your mom and arrived at the foot of the mountain now," Dora said as she took out her cell phone.

"So my beautiful mother has come back! I'll go and ask my brother to come pose for the picture, then." As he said that, Don's eyes instantly lit up and he went inside with a bright smile.

He had just walked a few steps when he heard James' ringing laugh.

"You're so beautiful, Van. You look better than Dora did when she was a child. Hell, you might even look better than your mother," James exclaimed.

He then held Van in his arms, who was wearing a beautiful dress, shoulder-length dark wig, and a pretty little floral headband.

His amber eyes turned a shade of pale gold when the sunlight shone upon them. Van had thick, curly eyelashes which almost made him look magical and kind.

Upon seeing him, Dora covered her mouth, gasping in awe.

"When did Uncle John and Aunt Nina give birth to this beautiful girl?

Oh my God! Isn't she the cutest?" Dora screamed as she held Van in her arms. "James, let me hold her. She's just too adorable."

Dora put Van down and pinched his cheeks. Don was also shocked by the sudden difference in his brother's appearance, so he walked over to Van and curiously poked his cheeks.

"Are you fraternal twins, then? Or did we just make a mistake? Did Uncle John always consider his daughter as his son?" Dora exclaimed with her eyes wide open.

"Wow, my brother is beautiful!" Don said with a surprised look.

"Boys can't be called as beautiful, Don." Van's voice came. He seemed like a porcelain doll that was tired of people playing with it.

Although Dora's heart sank when she found out that Van was a boy and not a girl, she still felt that he was too adorable.

She sighed in admiration as her hands touched his smooth, soft skin.

She then squeezed her hand for comparison and found that even though she had good skin, it was not as soft as Van's.

Don asked, "Then what's the point of dressing up? Anyway, let's forget about it. Dora, I want you to take a picture of me and Van as we are the most handsome boys on earth today!"

Don's words pulled Dora back to reality as she took out her cell phone and got down on her knees. "Come on you two, let me take a photo. Why don't you guys give me an adorable pose? This would definitely be a worthy memory!"

Van was confused and asked, "Why should I take a photo?"

"Like Dora said, it would be a worthy memory. Smile for the photo, Van. You look better when you smile," Don said with a grin as he held his brother's hand.

Seeing his brother smile, Van also smiled and Dora quickly captured a few photos of them.

"Come here! Let's have a look at the photos." Sitting on the couch, Dora swiped through each photo while Don and Van sat on either side, looking at her phone.

Emma took a look outside the window and said, "It's getting dark, Dora. Have Uncle John and the others arrived yet?"

"Oh, yes. Come with me, Van, Don. Let's go out and receive them.

We'll go downstairs and welcome your parents," Dora said with a bright smile. "Van, go and sprinkle flowers on the path that your mommy is supposed to walk on. Don, you go and lift up your mommy's gown slightly so that it doesn't touch the ground."

"Got it," the brothers answered in unison.

Since it was just before the winter months, the days were short and twilight fell right around 6:00 p.m. in the evening.

The pale yellow lights were turned on, but they were too dim. There was a faint light coming from the open windows, but it was too dull.

Only the scented candles on each table were burning, so each guest there was only able to see the silhouette of the person sitting next to them.

Looking around in surprise, Victor asked, "Has Mr. Shi forgotten to pay his electricity bill? Why are only the candles burning? Has he become so poor that he can't even afford good lighting?"

"Would you like to buy a few more candles?" Tim asked calmly, and it was hard to tell whether he was angry or not.

Hearing that, Victor immediately stood up and said, "I will go get a whole box of them right away, Mr. Shen. I am sure that would be enough to light up the venue."

Tim rolled his eyes at him. It was obvious that Victor was an idiot, but he did not know that and was almost ready to call someone asking them to bring a box of candles.

All of a sudden, they heard a woman's laughter coming from the table next to theirs. It was the famous actress, May.

She was only attending the wedding because of Adrian.

Victor could not make out who she was in the dark, but he wanted to beat her up for laughing.

"What is there to laugh about? What's so funny? I am going to slap you if I hear your laugh one more time!"

"I'm sorry, but I wasn't laughing at you. Mr. Shi must have had some reason behind his plan to keep the lights off. Let's wait and see what it is. Who knows, it might be a surprise!" May said with a smile. At the same time, in the surveillance room, Richard, who was responsible for overall planning, gave the order. "Now!"

On his command, a person who was in the banyan forest surrounding the castle opened a huge box, setting tens of thousands of fireflies free. The fireflies glowed bright as they flew higher and higher in the air Within a few moments, the fireflies lit up the sky around the castle. Although they were not as bright as the sun or the moon, it seemed as though countless stars had descended to light up the wedding. The wedding venue became brighter, and a few fireflies flew into the castle.

"Fireflies!" May screamed in surprise.

The guests immediately looked up and saw fireflies sparkling in the sky. Now that it was slightly brighter, they were able to see the faces of those sitting next to them.

The cold breeze came, carrying the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms with it.

People were so in awe, looking at the fireflies that no one noticed John smiling in the center of the stage.

His deep dark eyes reflected the beautiful galaxy formed by the little glowing bugs that illuminated the sky.0000
