OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 544 TWO-PARTY PREPARATION
“Wah, looks like I missed a precious moment. Why are you hugging without me?” Li An had just appeared in front of Xiao Jun's room door after finishing her makeup. Of course, this big sister Xiao Jun did not want to miss the historic moment in his family. The only brother could even be said to be the last wedding event in his core family. Li An and Wen Ting had come since yesterday, and it was certainly easy for the wealthy Wen mistress to come whenever she wanted to by her private plane.
Xiao Jun loosened his arms to his parents, smiling gently at his beautiful older sister, let alone the aura of a pregnant mother further adding to the beautiful value of the woman. Xiao Jun walked over, approached Li An then hugged him. “Xie Xie ni, Li An cie cie.” Xiao Jun, sounding sincere and heart touching.
Li An replied to that thanks with a nod, he was very proud to have Xiao Jun as his younger brother. “Jun, cie cie who should have said thank you to you. You always took care of this family since childhood, you sacrificed so much for us to be reunited. And what makes cie cie proud, you really have principles. It was unexpected that you turned out to set aside money from your personal business results to propose to Yue Hwa. We really didn't think you had any thoughts so far Jun, you were great.” Compliment Li An who was amazed at Xiao Jun, if he was Weini, of course he would also be impressed by Xiao Jun's attitude.
Xiao Jun only smiled at the praise from his brother, unbeknownst to anyone but Lau, he had indeed built a small company out of his personal money. He did not want to be completely dependent on the wealth of the Li clan, although it was very dear and given all the facilities by Li San. Xiao Jun still considered himself to be working for the great lord and sowed all his salary, he said, from the money that he gave as capital to build his own business and used to buy offerings to propose the girl he loved.
“He even refused the gift of father, whereas that was passed down by our ancestors for the next offspring. But yes, you will later slip the money in a wedding angpao, let's just say from our ancestors. You do not have to wear that angpao but can be saved as a bearer of blessings and happiness of your married life later.” Said Haris who also felt the independence of Xiao Jun, he was rejected by his son when he wanted to give some money he had collected so far to help the needs of marriage.
Xiao Jun laughed at the suggestion of his unyielding father, the more heartless it would be to disappoint the parents who cared so much for him. “Alright dad, Jun won't turn down the windfall. Thank you dad, mom, sister.”
“Already.... already..chat continued later only, we have to leave the house now. Time to visit the ladies residence.” Xin Er reminded once again, afraid that it would get dissolved in the atmosphere, even though he himself really enjoyed a moment like this but not in time to be revealed for a long time, there is still a newness that is ready to follow in a moment.

“Mom didn't recognize you, son. You are really very beautiful.” The heartfelt praise came from Liang Jia's lips that entered the room and found Weini standing gracefully, smiling at her arrival.
“Thank you for your help all, can leave us now.” Weini said to all the servants, makeup artists and Dina who was still accompanying her in the room. At once everyone he ordered answered and then one by one left the room.
Liang Jia approached Weini, grabbed her hand then grasped it gently. The old woman took a close look at Weini's makeup which made the girl's appearance different from usual. “Hwa, you're ready right?” Liang Jia asked attentively.
Weini nodded slowly with a smile that did not escape her lips. “Have mother.”
“Mothers seem not ready to let you go, but thankfully after this we still live close together. Mom so a little relieved.” Murmured Liang Jia who expressed his true heart intent, a natural feeling of belonging to a mother.
“Mother, there are still three weeks after this engagement procession. I'm still staying with my mom until the wedding day, we just need to go to Jakarta together. Mom don't mind much huh, Hwa stay with mom next.” Uajr Weini reminded his mother that today was only an engagement and not yet a wedding day, so the old woman did not need to be as giddy as Weini now noticed.
Liang Jia shook her head with a smile, “Ah yes yes, mother instead thought it was your wedding day. Forgive mom, maybe so happy to take off one more daughter mother to become a mature woman.”
Weini who already knew from reading her mother's mind was just smiling, “Mommy is calm, anyway Hwa promises will always be there for mom.”
“No need Hwa, a married woman should prioritize her household. Be a good wife and mother later, that alone has made the mother very happy and relieved. There's no need for you to be around mom. Mother has experienced first, become a wife, become a mother and yes, can not fully take care of parents. So you do not feel burdened, as long as the mother is still strong, healthy, hearing the children of the mother live happily alone has become a blessing for the mother.” Liang Jia told Weini about the greatness of her heart as a mother.
The mother and son's conversation came to a halt when they heard the screams from the guards standing guard in front that Xiao Jun's entourage had already approached Liang Jia's pavilion. Sontak made Weini feel a great heartbeat, but previously he was quite sure that he would calm down through this ritual-laden procession. It turned out that after his time had arrived, the calm he gathered shrank completely.
“Hwa, it's time. You're tense, aren't you? It's okay, it's very natural for any bride. Come, delivery mom to see your partner.” Said Liang Jia with a twinkle full of happiness. His hand prepared to hold Weini out, symbolically handing over his daughter to be bound by the man of his heart's choice.

Dina was already standing in front of Liang Jia's pavilion hall, following another neatly lined up entourage welcoming the Xiao Jun entourage to arrive. From the tail of his eyes, he peeked at the dashing-looking Xiao Jun in a striking red attire. Just this time Dina saw the young boss in this look, Dina's mouth was agape so amazed. It's a pity that the position of the establishment is somewhat behind so that he is less free to take pictures. But Grace had already sent a message to take as many photos of Weini and Xiao Jun as possible during the procession, and if it could be better to take a video recording when the sacred moment took place. But as it turns out, Dina occupies a less strategic position, she is discouraged from granting Grace's request.
Li An dyed in the back row of his parents, his eyes caught the figure of Dina who was also dizzy looking from a corner position. Li An's smile expanded, there was at least a person he recognized in this room from Weini's side. From the look of Dina's face alone it was discovered that she was not comfortable standing there.
“Awww...my stomach.” Suddenly Li An complained like holding back the pain in her stomach, Wen Ting who was standing next to her as well as Xin Er who was in front of her directly held Li An's hand.
“Why you baby?” Wen Ting asked very worriedly, he was about to carry Li An out of line but was rejected with his head and Li An insisted on staying there.
“Wen Ting, take Li An rest first, maybe he is not strong standing.” Pinta Xin Er who looked very worried about Li An's condition. While Haris and Xiao Jun who managed to eavesdrop on Li An's heart, remained silent, not provoked to show anxiety like Li An's mother and husband.
“Ng no need mom, just calm down Li An is okay. Li An still wants to be here following the ritual until it's over, but it looks like Li An needs one servant to accompany.” Said Li An somewhat limped, still showing a face expression that endured the pain.
Wen Ting raised one eyebrow, hearing Li An's strange request when it was better for them to step aside for a moment from the line so that the woman could rest. “Hmm.. yes already, the lady behind the motorcade who brought me will call one for you.”
“Eh no, do not disturb those on duty. There are still a lot of idle servants here, Gong Zhu would definitely not mind lending one of his servants to me. Hmm... Let me just choose who I want.” Li An muttered hurriedly preventing Wen Ting from finding anyone else.
Dina who heard Li An's will did not understand Li An's heart, she instead looked dumb at Xiao Jun's brother.
“You!” Appoint Li An who directs Dina.
Dina was shocked then pointed at herself with her index finger, asking again if what Li An meant was her.
“Iya, you. Here yes, take care of me.” Said Li An assuring his choice was indeed Dina.
The wide smile on Dina's lips was instantly visible, a golden opportunity to break free from the tough ranks of getting a nice spot to take a picture. “Good miss.” Dina answered excitedly. He rushed over to Li An after another servant opened the way for him to pass by.
“Nona, thanks ya.” Whispered Dina when she reached beside Li An and helped Wen Ting prop up Li An's body.
Li An smiled wryly and then blinked one eye, without explanation they knew that this was just Li An's wits in order to bring Dina closer to her side.
