Xu Lai planned to use the wedding dress from her summer wedding, but Zhao Qingyun rejected it, saying, "It's cold in winter, and that dress exposes too much skin, which could make you catch a cold. Besides, we're trying to conceive, so health is the most important thing."

Putting aside the earlier part, the latter sentence really touched her, and the two of them ordered a Xiuhe dress.

I got one Western-style and one Chinese-style set, so I can try both styles.

Zhao Qingyun had already taken leave early, and Xu Lai bought a lot of wedding candy, so she dragged him along to pack it up.

Two hundred boxes were sent to fans, and one was also sent to relatives and friends who came to the banquet. The house was piled high with boxes.

Two days before the wedding, a red carpet was laid out from one end of the village to the other, truly a ten-mile-long procession of red bridal procession.

Xu's mother didn't know where she heard it, but on the wedding day, the bride's feet couldn't touch the ground before she left the house, so Xu Yan carried her on his back the whole time.

This wedding procession was more difficult than the last one. The people blocking the door were all Xu Lai's family members, and Zhao Qingyun wouldn't let them in without paying a hefty price.

After he pulled out the tenth red envelope, the door finally opened, and Xu Lai, wearing a phoenix crown, sat on the bed looking at him.

After a series of wedding games, Zhao Qingyun picked her up and carried her downstairs. It was no one's idea, but they held up a flower petal tube and released it into the air. The petals landed on the two of them, and Xu Lai couldn't help but laugh while leaning on his shoulder.

Although the bride was to be married off from her old house, the wedding ceremony was held in the county and the entire venue was decorated in a traditional Chinese style.

As the wedding began, Xu Lai stood in the center of the stage, surrounded by a curtain. Then, the curtain slowly rose, and she walked towards Zhao Qingyun, holding a round fan.

This was the first time anyone had ever seen such an entrance, and it was truly stunning, as if it transported them back to ancient times.

Xu Yin, holding her daughter, said, "I really didn't expect that Xu Lai would get involved with President Zhao. Do you think they met at our wedding?"

Cao Bin took his daughter from him and said, "Don't make wild guesses, it has nothing to do with us."

He was also shocked; his boss had actually become his cousin's husband.

Zhao Qingyun took her hand, and the two smiled at each other. Having the experience of the last wedding, they were obviously much more skilled this time.

Halfway through the wedding, Xia Ning, the bridesmaid, suddenly disappeared. Xu Lai drank a few glasses of wine offered by others and looked towards the door.

Zhang Ye held Xia Ning's hand tightly, and the two seemed to have reached an agreement. Xu Lai shook her head, wondering when these two would finally get together.

After the wedding, Zhao Qingyun settled the guests who had come to eat, and then drove home with Xu Lai.

This time it's really over. The two will never have a wedding again. Xu Lai is exhausted. That phoenix crown must have weighed two pounds, and it left marks on her forehead.

She placed the phoenix crown on the display shelf, and Zhao Qingyun came over to massage her shoulders and back. Xu Lai enjoyed it very much and said, "Little Yunzi, pour me some foot bath water."

Zhao Qingyun chuckled softly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Xu Lai was amused by him and kicked his shin, "Go on, don't just talk the talk but walk the walk."

He brought over water with a foot bath packet in it, which is for dispelling cold and dampness. Xu Lai's hands and feet get cold in winter, and she has a cold constitution. Now she soaks her feet every night.

He put her feet in the tub, massaged her acupoints, and then let Xu Lai soak by herself while he packed his things. The two of them were going on their honeymoon the next day, and since they both had free time during the Chinese New Year holiday, they wanted to go on a trip as soon as possible.

After a two-hour flight, the two arrived at the coastal city. The weather was lovely, with a gentle sun. Xu Lai's coat, which she had worn in Heng County, was now too thick.

Xu Lai changed her clothes and went out to eat with him. Winter was the busiest time of year, and the nearby restaurants were booming.

The two found a restaurant with relatively few customers, and after filling their stomachs, they overheard the people at the next table talking about a fireworks display on the beach that night.

Xu Lai's heart skipped a beat, but before she could speak, Zhao Qingyun asked, "Do you want to go see it?"

Xu Lai nodded. "You guessed right."

She went back and changed her clothes. She asked the girl next door, who said that the show would start at 7:30 and last for 15 minutes.

Xu Lai dragged Zhao Qingyun out at seven o'clock. He kept fiddling with his phone, and even when they got to the beach, he was still sending messages.

Xu Lai was somewhat displeased, "Zhao Qingyun, what do you mean? You're out having fun and you're still replying to messages. Haven't you finished your work yet?"

After replying with the last sentence, "Deal, thank you," he said, "Sorry, honey, I really have something important to discuss."

She didn't take it too seriously, after all, everyone has busy times. Seeing that he had finished replying, she reached out her hand for him to hold.

They arrived early and had good seats. As more and more people arrived, Zhao Qingyun protected her and stood inside to prevent her from being pushed around.

The fireworks went off right on time at 7:30. Xu Lai kept exclaiming "Wow!" She had to admit that the fireworks here tonight were really beautiful, so colorful.

Fifteen minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Lai was about to pull Zhao Qingyun back home, otherwise it would be difficult for them to get out once more people left.

To everyone's surprise, he stood still and simply said, "Wait a little longer."

Xu Lai let out an "oh," thinking he hadn't seen enough, when suddenly another firework burst into the sky, faintly revealing someone's name. Someone recognized it, "It says... Xu... Xu Lai, who is Xu Lai?"

Xu Lai heard her name called and quickly looked up. The fireworks quickly faded and then burst into bloom again, revealing the name Xu Lai once more.

After being shown the name three times, Xu Lai finally saw it clearly, followed by "Peace and joy, happiness year after year".

She guessed who was behind it, and immediately turned her head to meet Zhao Qingyun's smiling eyes. "Xu Lai, I love you."

Xu Lai climbed up his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.

The two kissed under the fireworks, drawing astonished onlookers who wondered, "Who's proposing?"

Zhao Qingyun thought to herself, there's no need for a proposal, they already belong to each other.

Before the fireworks had even finished, Xu Lai pulled Zhao Qingyun out of the encirclement and walked along the beach.

In the darkness, with only the dim streetlights and distant fireworks, a beautiful couple strolled hand in hand along the beach. The girl would occasionally lean in to say something, and the two would smile and look at each other.

Listen closely, and it seems the girl is saying, "Zhao Qingyun, I never expected you to be so good at creating surprises. I really want to love you for the rest of my life."

Zhao Qingyun said with a smile, "A lifetime is too short, I want to reserve my next life."
