Qi Chenglin trotted to Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu, he opened the door of the car for them. Then, Qi Chengzhi set her down in the car.
Song Yu was pregnant. She was still in the first trimester of pregnancy, which was why there was no obvious changes in her appearance. However, her body weight had increased quite a lot. After carrying her down the stairs, Qi Chengzhi was getting tired.
However, he did not want Song Yu to find out about it. He wiped his sweat away quietly, despite having a mild headache at the same time.
Qi Chengzhi got into the car after her. After everyone was well prepared, they started their journey to Imperial Terrace.
Song Yu tilted her head and saw Qi Chengzhi’s sweaty forehead. She reached out to wipe the sweat away. As she touched the band-aids on his forehead, she asked softly, “Be honest with me. How did you get this?”
Qi Chengzhi could not help but look at her. It dawned on him that she had not believed a word in the lie that he had made up. He thought, ‘So now they were really like an old married couple. She could read him well.’
Qi Chengzhi’s heart melted. He reached out and held her hand. He could not help but smile.
“Don’t you smile as usual!” Song Yu pinched his hand. She thought, ‘Did he become stupid due to the hit?’
“Be honest, how did you get this?”
When she saw the expression on Qi Chengzhi’s face, she knew that he was not going to answer her. Therefore, she decided to ask the driver, Qi Chenglin, who was driving. “Chenglin, how did he get hurt?”
Qi Chenglin took a glance at Qi Chengzhi through the rearview mirror. Song Yu said, “If both of you are not going to answer me, I’ll go back and ask Aunt Yang about it. If you have been hurt at home, she would have known.”
After knowing that Qi Chengzhi was not going to stop him from telling, Qi Chenglin told Song Yu about the car accident that had happened last night.
“Now, everything is still in the process of investigation. They probably won’t have any discovery at any moment. However, we won’t let it go until we come to a conclusion,” said Qi Chenglin.
“I’m also suspicious of Jian Yi,” said Song Yu silently while tightening her grip on Qi Chengzhi’s hand. “If I had known earlier, I would never have urged you to leave last night.”
She was still in fear. If she had left him to walk back home alone yesterday, she would have no idea when anything had happened to him. What if something else had happened yesterday?
So, she made up her mind. No matter what happened in the future, she would be by his side. Even if it meant that death was waiting for her, she would remain calm as long as he was with her.
Immediately after having these thoughts, Song Yu repeated three times of “knock-on-the-wood” silently. It was a day of happiness, how could she be having such thoughts that could bring bad luck.
However, she was still in fear. She tightened her grip on Qi Chengzhi’s arm. This car might be a luxury, but there was a multipurpose armrest fixed between the seats. It separated the two of them, making their distance farther. Therefore, Song Yu could only hug tightly onto his arm.
“Have you gone to the hospital for a checkup?” asked Song Yu.
“I’ve done it. It is not a big deal. I’ve temporarily put on band-aids for today’s wedding, but I’ll have to change it back to gauze after the wedding,” said Qi Chengzhi. “Fortunately, there is no serious injury.”
When the cars drove into Imperial Terrace, they saw stickers with the word “Xi” on both sides of the walls. The atmosphere was full of joy.
When the cars stopped by the entrance of the villa, firecrackers were set off instantly.
When Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu got out of the car, the people standing on both sides of the lane greeted them with ribbon spray.
The groom and bride were welcomed into the house. Missus Lian was busy with the dishes. She was bringing out the noodles for Yan Beicheng and the others who had not had their meals in the morning. However, when the seven of them saw the noodles, their faces turned green.
“What is it? Does it not suit you?” asked Xia Wenna when she saw the weird expressions on their faces.
“We’ve overeaten just now.” Yan Beicheng almost vomited when he smelt the noodles.
“What happened?” Xia Wenna asked Qi Chenglin.
So, Qi Chenglin told her about what had happened in the morning at Song Yu’s house. Xia Wenna looked at Qi Chengyue, not knowing if she should laugh or cry instead. She said, “You…really are…Where have you gotten these ideas from?”
Since the seven of them were not able to eat anymore, Xia Wenna decided to throw away the noodles.
Finally, all of them began their journey to Dynasty.
…
…
When they had arrived at Dynasty, Song Yu was sent to the bridal suite to prepare herself. Qi Chengzhi, Qi Zhongliang, and Xia Wenna welcomed the guests at the entrance while Song Donglin and Ruan Danchen stood by their side.
Cheng Dongge and the Qilin’s colleagues had arrived at the hotel early. They sat together at a table. Grandfather Qi, Grandmother Qi, and Song Donglin, Yu Qianying sat at the head table, while Qi Chenglin and the younger generation were arranged to sit at the second table.
If anyone took notice of the arrangement of the tables, they would notice that the Qi family treated the Song family differently, as compared to how they had treated the Jian family.
At Qi Chengyue and Jian Yi’s wedding, Jian Yi’s parents sat at the first table in another row. They were not able to sit together with the Qi family.
At that time, the Qi family did not oppose the marriage of Qi Chengyue and Jian Yi. However, after having conversed with Jian Yi’s parents, they could not help but dislike Zhou Mingyan. However, since their daughter loved him, they did not oppose the marriage.
Therefore, they had planned to sit together at the same table. However, after they’ve gotten to know Zhou Mingyan, they changed their mind on the initial plan.
While Qi Zhongliang and Xia Wenna were welcoming the guests, Qi Chengyue, Qi Chenglin and Qi Chengji left to chat at the head table.
Qi Chengyue instinctively glanced at the table for Qilin’s employees. She saw Cheng Dongge talking to the superiors.
However, most of the time, it was the superiors who did the talking. Cheng Dongge was the one who listened, nodding and speaking a few words occasionally.
She was hesitating. She did not know if she should go and greet him. As she was thinking about it, the two people who were walking to the entrance caught her eye.
Qi Chengyue looked closely. She did not have the time to care about Cheng Dongge anymore. She had her eyes staring closely at the entrance.
The two people who arrived were Mu Huaisheng and Mu Sisi.
“I’m all right with Mu Huaisheng coming alone, but why did big brother invite Mu Sisi too?” said Qi Chengyue unhappily.
Grandmother Qi stood up, cleared her throat and said, “I’m the one who sent her the invitation.”
“What?” While holding onto Grandmother Qi’s arm, Qi Chengyue pouted. “Grandma, why did you invite her? What if she’s here to make trouble? Aren’t you getting yourself in trouble?”
“On an occasion like this, she has her brother watching her. She won’t be able to cause any trouble.” Grandmother Qi took a sip of tea to soothe her dry throat. “I want her to watch the wedding of Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu, hoping that it will end her love for Qi Chengzhi. Even if she still doesn’t plan to give up, I want her to feel upset and helpless about it. It is so that all she can do is sit and watch the wedding till the end.”
Qi Chengyue blinked her eyes and formed two dimples on her cheeks. “I’ll go and greet her.”
Immediately, she stood up and left. It was too late for Grandmother Qi to stop her. Grandmother Qi smiled helplessly. “You little girl!”
When Qi Chengyue stood, Cheng Dongge saw her instantly. In fact, Cheng Dongge had been watching Qi Chengyue since her arrival.
However, on an occasion like this, it was inappropriate for him to look for her.
After Qi Chengyue had divorced Jian Yi, the two of them had not kept in touch since then.
He saw Qi Chengyue walking to the entrance, so he took a glance at the entrance. When he saw Mu Huaisheng and his sister, he came to a realization. He could not help but chuckle.
Coincidentally, Qi Chengyue was also having her gaze turned toward him. When she looked into his eyes, she saw an unintended smile at the corner of his lips. Immediately, Qi Chengyue’s cheeks flushed. It was as if she was caught in the act of looking at him. She looked away with a guilty conscience, continuing her stride to the entrance.
Cheng Dongge smiled. When the vice president who was sitting next to him called his name, Cheng Dongge returned to his usual expression and turned to continue his talk with the vice president.
Mu Huaisheng was chatting with Qi Chengzhi at the entrance, while Mu Sisi was staring at Qi Chengzhi with her disgusting gaze. Qi Chengyue felt that Mu Sisi was stripping Qi Chengzhi’s clothes with her eyes.
Today, Qi Chengzhi wore a black wedding suit. He was standing with his broad shoulders and long legs, looking very attractive in his attire.
However, Mu Sisi’s stare was excessive. Xia Wenna, who was standing beside Qi Chengzhi, also felt uncomfortable with it. As for Qi Chengzhi, he had chosen to ignore Mu Sisi.
Qi Chengyue did not understand the situation at all. Since Mu Huaisheng had known about his sister’s behavior, why did he not pull Mu Sisi away from Qi Chengzhi?
Qi Chengyue walked up to them and stood by Qi Chengzhi’s side. After greeting Mu Huaisheng, she mocked Mu Sisi, “Miss Mu, what generosity you have, giving your best wishes to my big brother and sister-in-law.”
“Of course. I’m also here to give my consolation to you. I heard that you are divorced recently, abandoned by the man. It seems that your ex-husband has already had another woman behind your back. He even has an illegitimate child. Plus, it has been such big news in the media recently. So, I really sympathize with you as a woman. Are you coping with it well?” said Mu Sisi with a cold smirk.
“I’m alright with it. Even if he has cheated on me, at least there is still a man who is willing to cheat on me.” Since Qi Chengyue had divorced Jian Yi, she was now a free woman. She felt at ease now and did not have to care about the taboos anymore. “I’m not like you, Miss Mu. It’s not a secret that you like my big brother. Unfortunately, my big brother does not have the slightest intention to lie to you. You really are a poor woman.”
“You!” Mu Sisi had her eyes wide opened, staring at Qi Chengyue furiously. She looked as if she wished that she could shout at her at this moment.
Qi Chengyue blinked her eyes and had her eyes opened widely too. However, she made an innocent face, which Mu Sisi hated the most. She opened her lips slightly, putting her fingers on her lips. She acted as if she was surprised. “Oh yeah, there is news about a lady recently. Though her name was not revealed, they had referred her as Miss M. Miss Mu, there’s quite a number of reporters today at the wedding but you still came. Are you really alright with it?”
Mu Sisi was furious. Since she was a kid, she had never been at a disadvantage.
Especially when she was in a fight, she had always been the bully. There had never been a moment where she was being bullied by others.
As she was about to open her mouth to say something, she was grabbed by Mu Huaisheng. Mu Huaisheng warned her with a stare.
Qi Chengyue humphed with sarcasm. She left with a turn, giving Mu Sisi no chance to open her mouth.
“I’m sorry. My niece is very straightforward but she’s actually an outspoken lady.” Xia Wenna smiled warmly at Mu Huaisheng.
Mu Huaisheng smiled and nodded. “Auntie, don’t say that. It was my sister who had no manners. About the incident that had happened last time, I haven’t apologized to the elders in your family. After the wedding, I’ll definitely bring her along to give our apologies.”
Xia Wenna smiled and did not speak. In fact, she wanted to say that they would be alright with or without the apology. It would be better not to have Mu Sisi around, than to have her apologize. However, since Mu Huaisheng mentioned it, it would not be appropriate for her to refuse.
When Mu Huaisheng saw that the other guests were arriving, he said, “I think it’s time for us to go in.”
The ones coming in were Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu. It was their first time setting foot in such a fine hotel of Dynasty. When they saw the spectacular scene, they felt that they were starting to tremble.
Mrs. Xu walked in nervously, hoping that she would not lose herself while observing the surroundings. However, she was also curious. Both of her eyes were looking side to side.
“Lao Xu!” Yu Qianying called out warmly. She knew that they would be nervous. That’s why she called out for them. Yu Qianying said, “Come here. I’ll show you your seats. I’ve arranged all the neighbors’ sitting in one table. It’ll be more convenient for you to chat.”
“Yeah, this…this kind of grand occasion is really different. I’ve only known that your son-in-law is rich. By noticing the car he drives, I’ve already known about that. But, I did not know he was from such a remarkable family.” Mrs. Xu’s heart had not recovered from the shock. She was very nervous, just like that year when she had gotten married.
“His family background doesn’t really matter. As long as he treats Song Yu well. Besides, I don’t care about his background. It was already rare and commendable that Song Yu’s in-laws both welcomed her with open hands.” Yu Qianying brought Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu to their seats. There were already four neighbors sitting at the table. Their level of stress was just the same as Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu’s.
Now that two more people had joined the group, they felt better. The group had become bigger and they did not feel as nervous as before anymore.
However, they did not dare to leave their seats. Everyone else was those who had respect and influence in society. Under normal circumstances, they could only see those people on television or newspapers.
If they were to greet those people, the ones being greeted would also probably be some billionaires. If that was the case, should they greet them or not? Even if they greeted them, would those people know who they were? Plus, they did not think that they had the courage to open their mouths. Even if they did, they would also be stammering.
Lao Xu swallowed, pointing at one of the people who was coming in. “Why does that person seem familiar to me?”
“Me too. I think he looks like that person on television…”
“…”
Therefore, the six of them decided to stop talking. Silently, they peeled and enjoyed the pistachios.
Finally, all the guests had arrived and the orchestra was also well prepared.
At the expected time, the leader of the wedding planners got a nod from the Qi family and brought Song Donglin to the entrance of the auditorium.
Then, one of the staff brought Song Yu out. Song Yu smiled and held onto Song Donglin’s arm.
When the door of the auditorium was opened, Song Yu realized that the white carpet that she had seen was now full of red rose petals. The carpet was now covered with layers of them and it felt soft to the feet.
When the music started, Song Donglin brought Song Yu forward. Step by step, they walked forward while following the rhythm of the music.
The white veil was long, reaching the floor. The lace design on the wedding dress could be seen behind the white veil.
When Song Yu raised her head, she had her eyes fixed on Qi Chengzhi, who was waiting for her at the front. He was standing there with his broad shoulders and his eyes were focused on her.
She was only able to focus on Qi Chengzhi now, overlooking the decoration of the wedding.
She did not realize that there were loads of tables at the wedding, and all of the flowers that were decorated indoors were brought here by flight from different countries. There were roses, lilies, tulips, and especially the rainbow roses that were put on each plate of the guests.
She did not notice the fine desserts at the dessert section for they were so beautifully decorated. Those who had seen them could not make up their minds to put them into their mouth.
She walked on ahead without noticing the details, just like how she had walked into his life. Then, she would be having the rest of her life with him.
Song Yu’s eyes watered. Her heart hurt a little.
In the past, he had been standing not far away from her, just like this. He had been watching her and waiting for her, waiting for her to be his bride.
She remembered the time when he was in the United States. Every day, he took note of how many days had passed since he had last seen her.
She remembered those words: “My Song Yu. Finally, it was worth waiting for.” He had been waiting for her quietly for ten or maybe twenty years. Now, in this auditorium, he was still the one waiting for her.
Song Yu observed his charming appearance. He was elegant but serious, outstanding but innocent and dependable.
He stood there, as if he had been waiting for a lifetime with affection.
Song Donglin brought her to Qi Chengzhi. As they were getting closer, her gaze was fixed on his face. Until her hand was passed to Qi Chengzhi by Song Donglin, Song Yu turned and faced Qi Chengzhi. She looked at him through the transparent veil while he lowered his gaze to her. She saw his deep affection for her in his eyes.
She felt amazing. She had known him since young, but the relationship between him and her was not close. However, now, they were standing here with their hands locked together, getting married as husband and wife. It was as if they were fated to become husband and wife.
When he had gone through puberty, she was nine years old. She was only a little child at that time. However, at this moment, she seemed to remember the childhood memories of him.
Qi Chengzhi’s long fingers held onto the edge of her veil. Slowly, he lifted and tucked it to the back.
Just now, he was standing here watching Song Yu walking towards him step by step. She was wearing a fine and elegant wedding dress without any other sumptuous accessories. It was just like her simple and indifferent personality. When she wore the veil, everything seemed to be just perfect. It was very different from the day they had their wedding photos taken.
It was not the first time he had seen her in this wedding dress, but he was much more surprised now than the day they took their wedding photos.
He lifted the veil slowly, revealing the appearance under it. The chin was first to be revealed, then, the tip of her nose and her eyebrows. Finally, her beautiful profile was revealed before his very eyes.
Song Yu had her head lowered slightly with her eyes looking down. With the mascara, her eyelashes looked thicker and longer, forming shades under her eyelids.
Her eyes blinked gently, raising her head under his soft but passionate gaze. When she saw the soft expression on his face, she could not help but smile shyly. Happiness was shown on her face.
After the exchange of wedding rings, Qi Chengzhi dipped his head and kissed her lips softly while holding her left hand, which was wearing the ring. He kissed her as if he was sealing her with his vows.
While watching Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu kissing each other, Mu Sisi was not able to control her anger anymore.
She thought that she would be able to endure it. However, when the scenario was revealed in front of her, only then did she know how painful her heart was.
After the ceremony, Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu were brought to change into another suit and dress.
Then, it was the best man and bridesmaid, Qi Chengji and Ruan Danchen’s turn.
It was still alright while greeting the tables where the elderly were at. The elderly were those who had wealth and social standing. Therefore, they could not act like the young adults, who had planned to make Qi Chengji and Ruan Danchen drunk. Just to show some respect, they had only drunk a little with the both of them. Then, they started to discuss about their business topics. For instance, which industry was growing recently? Which industry should they invest in based on the current political landscape and the like.
However, it was a real headache when they were greeting the young adults.
Yan Beicheng and the others might have reputation in the society, but they were not particular about it. They thought that they should stir up some trouble since they were at Qi Chengzhi’s wedding now.
In the end, after they were finished with greeting the young adults at the table, Ruan Danchen was close to getting drunk because of them.
Qi Chengji had also helped her with the drinks quite a few times. He whispered, “Why don’t you rest for a while? I can deal with them.”
This time, Ruan Danchen did not insist. She had already started to feel nauseous and was not able to drink anymore.
She glanced at Qi Chengji apologetically, whispering, “Are you able to handle them alone?”
Qi Chengji took a glance at the next table; Fang Boran and his friends, who had high alcohol tolerance were seated there. Besides, Fang Boran was also sitting with Wen Ren, Yan Beicheng and the others at the same table.
Hao Donghuai stood up instantly, with one leg stepping on the chair. He said to Qi Chengji and Ruan Danchen, who stood by the table next to his, “Little sister, pluck up your courage and go right ahead! Come here! Come! Let’s drink!”
Yuan Jiangyi, who was holding a clean plate in one hand and a ladle in another, struck the plate as if it were a gong. He created a clear and melodious rhythm for Hao Donghuai.
Ruan Danchen shivered. She looked at Qi Chengji with anticipation. Qi Chengji collected his gaze from the table where Hao Donghuai and the others were at. However, he replied honestly, “I’m not able to.”
Ruan Danchen, “…”
“But, I think you can.” At this moment, Ruan Danchen was not able to be a faithful friend to him anymore. “I’m going to the restroom, will be back in a minute.”
