Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Shang Ziming and Su Xiao's wedding day arrived as scheduled.

As expected of a specially chosen auspicious day, the weather was perfect, with gentle breezes and bright sunshine.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning had just peeked over the horizon.

"Xiaoxiao, it's time to get up."

Huang Feiyan was in high spirits, her face beaming with joy. Without hesitation, she drew back the curtains, letting sunlight stream into the room through the clear glass window.

Su Xiao squinted slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. She reached out and touched the headboard, glanced at her watch, and said listlessly, "Yanzi, what time is it? It's still early. Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

These past few days, she's been so busy with the wedding preparations that she's been spinning like a top, never stopping for a moment.

Yesterday, we went over today's schedule again. The groom won't be coming to pick up the bride until 9:30. All she has to do is get dressed and put on makeup before 9:30 and wait for him to arrive looking beautiful.

Why do you need to get up so early!

"It's getting late, we have a lot to do today." Huang Feiyan took out a dress from the closet while urging, "Hurry up and get up, I've already packed your clothes, be good."

Su Xiao looked at the traditional Chinese wedding dress in her hands and refused, "Yanzi, this wedding dress is too heavy. How am I supposed to wash up if I wear it?"

Huang Feiyan's eyes lit up as she looked at the bright red wedding dress in her hands; it was so beautiful.

Hearing that she said it was too heavy, she disagreed and lifted the clothes hanger in her hand, saying, "How is it heavy? It's silk and light gauze, the material is so good, so smooth, I don't even dare to touch it. There are only five pieces inside and out. It is indeed complicated, but you look so beautiful in it."

Indeed, this wedding dress was entirely hand-embroidered, and Qin Yumei spent a lot of money to have it made by someone special.

Su Xiao was speechless, but she couldn't refute it either, because she liked the clothes too.

But is this the time to talk about clothes? She was saying it was too early.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, good sister-in-law, I'll get up right away. You can put your clothes aside for now, I'll wear them after I wash up, otherwise it'll be inconvenient..." Su Xiao surrendered.

"Okay, hurry up." Huang Feiyan thought that what Su Xiao said made sense, so she readily nodded.

After Su Xiao finished washing up, Qin Yumei arrived with a group of people. Seeing that she was already up, she was very satisfied. "Xiao Xiao, the makeup artist is here."

After exchanging greetings, a group of people busied themselves around Su Xiao, some fixing her hair, others putting on makeup... Finally, she changed into her red wedding dress.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Huang Feiyan couldn't help but exclaim.

Looking at her graceful daughter, Qin Yumei felt both happy and reluctant. She had only found her daughter a short time ago, and now she was about to marry into another family.

Shang Ziming, the merchant, also got up before dawn. He was excited and radiant, wishing time would pass even faster.

"Set off."

When the time came, Shang Ziming and his entourage eagerly got into the car to pick up the bride.

"Let's go, let's pick up the bride!" A group of young men, laughing and joking, drove eight cars decorated with big red "double happiness" characters, forming a long procession, and drove in a grand procession along Xuanwu Avenue.

"The groom is here! The groom is here! Quick, close the door!" Tian Tian ran back with the latest news, beaming, and helped Tian Shuang and Huang Feiyan close the door.

Su Xiao sat on the bed, watching them play with a smile.

As soon as I closed the door, I heard lively laughter coming from the yard, which meant that a large group of people had arrived.

"Bride, snap a picture! The groom is here to pick you up..." The young men immediately started banging on the door and cheering.

The girls inside the house replied with smiles, "If you want to pick up a bride, you have to show sincerity."

"We've come with sincerity, sister-in-law, open the door quickly, there'll be a big red envelope when you open the door!"

The person outside the door was tempting them; they had clearly come prepared.

"No, we don't accept bribes." Huang Feiyan and the others laughed when they heard about the red envelopes, but they still stood firm and said, "Let the groom answer a few questions for us, and only if he satisfies our daughter will we accept it."

Laughter erupted outside. "Alright, go ahead and ask."

The people in the room nodded in satisfaction and began asking questions: After marriage, who will do the housework, who will manage the finances, and who will be in charge of the household...?

Shang Ziming answered a series of questions with ease, earning him a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Huang Feiyan smiled as she looked at Su Xiao, who was sitting on the bed, and asked her if she should open the door. After all, it was a joyous occasion, and a little playfulness would create a good atmosphere, but too much would be unpleasant.

Su Xiao blushed and nodded slightly.

Huang Feiyan smiled, indicating that she understood, and then called out loudly to the door, "Alright, our daughter is very satisfied with the groom's answer. We just hope that you can keep your word... Ladies, open the door!"

As the door opened, the boys outside, laughing and joking, crowded around Shang Ziming as he rushed in.

Shang Ziming gazed intently at the beauty before him. This was the person he would spend the rest of his life with. His heart pounded with uncontrollable joy. He slowly walked up to her and extended his hand. "Xiaoxiao, I've come to take you home."

Su Xiao was equally excited and a little nervous, her heart pounding. Watching him walk towards her step by step, she recalled every little detail of their encounter. Scene after scene gradually calmed her emotions. The man before her was the one she had chosen to spend her life with...

"Okay." She smiled sweetly and extended her hand, envisioning the rest of their lives together, working hard and being tolerant of each other. She believed that the future was promising and that they would have no regrets for the rest of their lives.

"Okay, hehe... Groom, stop grinning like an idiot, the auspicious time has arrived..."

The two then came to their senses and felt quite embarrassed.

Shang Ziming coughed lightly, bent down and picked up Su Xiao in his arms, and left the Su family surrounded by the crowd.

Su Xiao felt embarrassed and leaned her face slightly against his chest.

The motorcade, a long line, made its way to the restaurant. The place was packed with guests, filled with blessings and a lively atmosphere. After all, the marriage between the Shang family and the Gu family was a perfect match, a powerful alliance.

After the young couple finished toasting the guests and seeing them off, they returned to their new home, and Su Xiao was exhausted.

Upon seeing the large bed covered in bright red wedding colors, I had only one thought: to rush over and lie down.

He acted on his impulse. After Shang Ziming closed the door and entered, he was greeted by a picture of Sleeping Beauty, accompanied by a sea of ​​red. His eyes flickered slightly, deep as ink, and he approached step by step...

A night of surging red waves, filled with tender feelings, and when I awoke, the sun was high in the sky.

"woke up?"

A deep, mellow voice sounded in her ear, and a warm breath washed over her. Su Xiao, who had been drowsy, suddenly became wide awake and trembled slightly.

She opened her eyes to a handsome face, a man smiling warmly. Recalling the events of yesterday, she couldn't help but feel shy and embarrassed.

Seeing that she remained silent, Shang Ziming chuckled softly, "Shall we get up?"

"Um."

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything understood without a word.
