Chapter 343 Extra Chapter 1: The Wedding

Two weeks ago, countless private planes landed on a private island in the Pacific Ocean, and luxury yachts set sail in droves, creating a lively scene.

Yan Nuo got off the motorboat, kicking up a trail of water, and strode over to Zhao Qi, putting his arm around his shoulder.

He was wearing a shirt and shorts, and had been playing so wildly that he was soaked, even wetting Zhao Qi's expensive casual suit.

Zhao Qi coldly cursed at him, "Get lost, do you want to die?"

"Didn't you say you weren't coming?" Yan Nuo wasn't afraid at all. At this moment, she smiled meaningfully and with a hint of schadenfreude. "Have you thought about how you're going to cry tomorrow since you're coming?"

Zhao Qi: "..."

Zhao Qi resisted the urge to kick him back into the water, then coldly put his hands in his pockets and looked at the golden sea.

"Don't worry, I've never cried in my life, but I might cry when you die."

Yan Nuo slipped on her slippers, clicked her tongue, and shook her head. "You're just going to put on a brave face."

Zhao Qi sneered, "You're putting on a good show. You've completely given up? I don't believe it."

As Yan Nuo walked, he said, "If my senior ever thinks of me, I'm ready to offer myself to her anytime."

He said these shameless things so openly, "But... I think I have no chance. I still know my place, unlike you, hahahahaha."

Receiving a cold, icy glare from Zhao Qi, he pointed out the way and said, "You just arrived, right? Let me introduce you to this island."

"You've even become a local tour guide."

"I arrived a week earlier than you, and you're not a particularly bad person, but you just like to speak with veiled barbs."

"..."

Zhao Qi snorted coldly and didn't retort.

The island's buildings are mostly European in style, and the landscaping is excellent. Tall and robust spruce and oak trees stand on both sides of the road, making it feel like you've entered the estate of an old-money family.

Hidden among the green trees, the outline of a small church came into view. Zhao Qi paused slightly upon seeing the church. "...Is this where the wedding will be held tomorrow?"

He frowned slightly, puzzled, because the church looked very small from the outside. If the event was to be held in a church, why not hold it in a famous church like Westminster Abbey or Sagrada Familia?

His first reaction was that he didn't want Fang Ke to suffer any injustice, and how could he compromise on such a major life event as marriage?

Fortunately, Yan Nuo said, "We won't hold it here; we'll have a lawn wedding tomorrow."

Zhao Qi remained silent for a moment before saying, "Oh."

Yan Nuo didn't notice his odd behavior, but instead excitedly explained, "After we had dinner together that day, Brother Ye actually drank too much and insisted on dragging my senior into the church. We quickly followed, and guess what?"

"Are you breathing heavily when you talk because you're not going to live long?"

"...It's really no fun talking to you." Yan Nuo wished she could crack his skull open. They went into the church for a visit.

This church was nothing compared to the two who had seen famous cathedrals. Surprisingly, there were two plots of farmland in the courtyard, planted with fruits and vegetables, and grape trellises on both sides.

The church itself is very simple in design. Pushing open the wooden door, you find that the interior is also simply furnished with a few benches and a prayer table, and the walls are decorated with a partial reproduction of the Creation of Adam.

Zhao Qi's expensive leather shoes stomped on the deliberately aged wooden floor, his brows furrowed.

He really couldn't see the point of this church. Judging from the prosperity of the island, the island's owner could easily replicate the Sistine Chapel if he wanted to.

This small chapel, which could be described as "dilapidated," is truly out of place on the entire island.

Yan Nuo pointed to a spot and said, "At that time, Brother Ye suddenly knelt down here, and we were all stunned. Then he seemed to fall into a devout prayer. In the end, he insisted on saying some cheesy things to the senior. We were all confused, but the senior was moved and leaned down to kiss him... Tsk tsk tsk, I have to say, I think Ye Si also has a bit of a green tea personality. How can you compete with him?"

Zhao Qi, “…”

Yan Nuo sighed, "Later we found out that this church was specially commissioned by Brother Ye to be replicated, apparently to commemorate a certain encounter he had with his senior... Although Brother Ye said it was to make up for the regret of not being able to marry his senior in his dream, I always feel like he was telling the truth..."

Zhao Qi turned and left, with Yan Nuo following behind. They then visited many of the island's attractions. This island truly had everything. He dared to say that even the wealthiest tycoons would be amazed upon arriving on the island.

This place is luxurious, stylish, and offers excellent privacy. The island even has a library, art gallery, and museum, with dedicated staff available everywhere. There are also many restaurants to choose from, offering various international cuisines, and bars and cafes are open to help you pass the time.

There's no need to introduce the attractions; they have almost everything you can think of.

Yan Nuo dared to say that as long as the island's resource supply could be guaranteed, people could live here for a lifetime without any problem; it was simply paradise.

As they walked to the main building, Yan Nuo exclaimed, "Did you know that this entire island was a gift from Yes to my senior? Now, this island is named after her."

Zhao Qi paused in his steps.

"Do you think that even if the two of us had a bit of money, we would go to such lengths and spend so much time and effort just to build an island to give away?"

Yan Nuo put his hands in his pockets, looked up at the sky and sighed, "So I feel like I lost completely. I heard that he spent nine years building this place... That means that when my senior was 18, he already wanted to spend his life with her."

Yan Nuo, with a hint of admiration and a touch of relief, said, "At least for now, his love is beyond question."

Seeing Zhao Qi fall into a deep silence, Yan Nuo was afraid that he might do something rash, so she stepped forward and hugged him, jokingly saying, "But who can say for sure what will happen in ten years? If you start building the island now, it might not be too late."

"roll."

Zhao Qi kicked him aside, then walked away with a stern face. This time, Yan Nuo didn't go with him.

Zhao Qi looked at the flower wall, chairs, and background decorations that had already been set up on the lawn, and everywhere there were signs of lively celebration preparations.

If Yes prepared all of this, then he really put in a lot of effort.

He stood silently in a corner of the lawn, watching the event coordinator directing others to make various adjustments to the venue setup, and sighed softly.

I was planning to send an extremely expensive gift, but the person isn't coming.

Zhao Xingheng, however, fanned the flames, saying, "Kid, you wouldn't be such a coward, would you? If you really like her, go and steal her away! Are you just going to give her away without even trying? Sigh... It's such a pity that my wonderful niece Coco can't be included in our Zhao family genealogy."

Zhao Qi retorted, "Would you dare say that to Ye Si?"

Zhao Xingheng said awkwardly, "Who told you to be my biological son? Otherwise, who would care about you?"

Zhao Qi had a sleepless night, and the next day, still with dark circles under his eyes, he and Zhao Xingheng took a private jet here.

But once you get to the island, the feeling is quite different.

The entire island was filled with a blissful atmosphere. Almost every guest wore a smile and offered their blessings, and the island's inhabitants were all beaming with joy and happiness. Everyone knew that a grand and blessed wedding was about to take place there.

It was hard for Zhao Qi not to be affected, and on top of that, he had just learned a lot of details about the island and the wedding from Yan Nuo, so Zhao Qi's feelings were very complicated.

He knew that Fang Ke would be fine.

But in the future, he will not be there.

Zhao Qi felt that he wasn't provoked into doing anything by Zhao Xingheng's words; in fact, he was calm and even offered his blessings.

He had once thought that no relationship would last, and even if Fang Ke got married, it wouldn't affect him much. But now, his beliefs were wavering.

Zhao Qi took one last look at the lush green lawn, then lowered his eyes and walked away.

He hoped that Yes would not give him another chance in the future.

Even now, it may seem like his delusion.

Fang Yefan got completely drunk at the island bar. Fang Zhen felt he was making a fool of himself. Yan Xinyi wanted to go and see him but was stopped. Fang Han was too lazy to care and could only send Fang Yiling to keep an eye on him.

Fang Yiling was about to turn 18 at the end of the year. At that time, she stood aloofly by the bar, tall and with long legs, looking even more mature and rational than Fang Yefan.

The island is owned by Fang Ke, and all the staff on the island treat Fang's family with respect and courtesy.

The bartender looked helplessly at Fang Yiling, "Fourth Young Master, perhaps the Second Young Master is troubled by something. He's been drinking alone all night."

A cold sneer appeared on Fang Yiling's noble face. He nodded to the people and said, "As long as he doesn't drink himself to death, please take him to the guest room later."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but Fang Yefan grabbed his arm. "Don't go... Where's Fang Zhen? Tell him to come out and see me!"

Fang Yiling: "..."

"I have no blood relation with Fang Ke what the hell? Why is he stopping me? Just because he's used to being the head of a family, does that give him the right to be a fascist, an emperor, and control my life?"

The waiters and bartenders nearby were terrified and quickly made an excuse to leave, politely asking the few remaining customers to move to other areas, leaving the Fang brothers to enjoy this space.

Fang Yiling looked at him incredulously, her face full of mockery, "Fang Yefan, where do you get the confidence to think she'll even spare you a glance?"

He looked him up and down. "Is this all there is to you?"

"What does it have to do with whether we're related by blood or not? Dad's stopping you, don't you really think he's protecting you in a way that's actually protecting you?"

"You really think of yourself as some kind of male protagonist who's bound by family, forbidden by societal norms, and unable to pursue true love?"

"To put it simply, she doesn't even like you, okay?"

"You should still express your gratitude, because you are still a member of the Fang family, so you will still have the opportunity to stay by Third Sister's side in the future."

Fang Yefan didn't know if he had heard him. At this moment, he sat blankly on the high stool, staring at him with red eyes.

"You want to sever your father-son relationship with Dad, right? I'll make the call for you now."

Fang Yefan: "..."

Fang Yefan staggered to his feet, snatched the phone from him, and hung up.

"You little rascal, you're getting more and more annoying as you grow up."

After saying that, he seemed to finally come to his senses and went outside alone.

The moonlight shone on his long, slender figure, making him appear incredibly lonely and helpless.

Fang Han called, "Why are you calling? Has Fang Yefan drunk so much that he has a stomach hemorrhage and needs to be resuscitated?"

"..."

Fang Yiling said calmly, "Wrong number."

"Speechless. I'm busy, don't bother me."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Yiling still went out. After all, it was an island, and he was a little worried that Fang Yefan might accidentally sink to the bottom of the sea, turning tomorrow's happy occasion into a funeral.

The wedding the next day was just as grand as everyone had expected. Even those who were used to seeing extravagant weddings couldn't help but marvel at how much thought and effort had been put into it.

Early in the morning, dozens of helicopters flew around the island, and some guests who had a habit of morning exercise stopped to watch and witnessed a rain of flower petals falling from the sky.

The scene was incredibly dreamlike, with pink and red petals falling gracefully from the sky, landing on the surrounding greenery, roads, buildings, and even on the shoulders of passersby.

On this self-contained island, the whole world seems to have become the Garden of Eden.

Some guests were startled awake from their sleep, opened the glass window, and saw flower petals fluttering in the wind outside, thinking they were still dreaming.

As more and more guests appeared on the lawn, countless well-trained waiters moved among them, serving desserts, snacks, and cocktails. Of course, children could only drink juice.

The wedding planner also prepared entertainment for the children, allowing them to choose a specially customized evening gown, or a veil, crown, bow tie, or other items with wedding elements.

There were also waiters dressed as mascots handing out helium balloons, but only about half the children went to get them. Some children were genuinely innocent and adorable, clearly pampered by their families. Others, however, looked prematurely aged, barely reaching the height of an adult's legs, with stern faces and an air of maturity beyond their years.

Su Xiaohe, the chief director of the wedding documentary, found these scenes very interesting.

When they participated in the show, several of their close friends came. After Fang Ke returned, he was able to successfully record the following episodes of "Star Fan 72 Hours". The ratings soared from the beginning to the end, and both Su Xiaohe and Fang Ke made a fortune.

So this time he volunteered to be the recorder.

This wedding was primarily a Western-style lawn wedding, so unfortunately, none of the usual door-blocking or challenges for the best man and maid of honor were included.

As the clock struck midnight, all the guests who had checked in were already seated on the lawn, waiting with anticipation and excitement.

A symphony orchestra was playing soothing and cheerful music, and countless flowers were arranged around the venue. The sun was shining brightly, white doves flew across the sky, and the jewel-like blue sea could be seen in the distance.

They spotted a golden shaded cat also wearing a little dress and a pretty little bow, strolling leisurely through the crowd like an owner, as if patrolling its own territory.

Many guests found it amazing, and quite a few lay down to take pictures of it. The kitten licked its paws and continued to tilt its head back to show off its beautiful and graceful body curves.

"Whose cat is this? It's so cute and beautiful, can I steal it?"

"Stop your suicidal thoughts. This is the island owner's cat, which is probably more valuable than your house in the Fifth Ring Road."

"...Oh my god, humans are inferior to cats" series.

"What's its name?"

"Call her Beibei."

Soon, Beibei lay down in front of the flower archway, waiting for her parents to enter.

Its azure, glassy pupils reflected the floating white clouds in the sky.

It wasn't until it saw a brilliant white patch, more eye-catching than the clouds outlined by the sunlight in the sky, that it immediately pricked up its ears and sat up.

Fang Ke's wedding dress was made six months in advance, sewn by top Italian artisans, making it a unique and rare treasure. As she walked, the vintage floral embroidery and diamond embellishments on the pearl white silk bodice sparkled brilliantly, while the skirt, made of custom-made Swiss moonlight satin, swayed with a glass lace veil that reflected a rainbow of colors.

The wedding dress looks very elaborate at first glance, yet it is as light as a cloud, flowing like silver as it moves, attracting everyone's attention.

Her veil was also two meters long, covering a patch of bare, snow-white skin and her shoulder blades on her back.

Fang Ke, holding a bouquet of white flowers, walked hand in hand with Yes into the lawn. As soon as the two of them appeared, a collective gasp could be heard from the crowd.

This is some kind of perfect match, a match made in heaven. God is so biased, showering them with all the beautiful words in the world.

Someone started clapping, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively, with some people even whistling excitedly.

Mr. Li, invited by Yes to be the witness at their wedding, was standing under the flower wall, smiling as he watched the two of them.

Fang Zhen, sitting in the first row, had mixed feelings. He almost broke down when he first learned that Fang Ke and Mr. Li had a close relationship.

Sometimes he even wondered what kind of goddess his daughter was, as she seemed to be omnipotent from a young age.

But without a doubt, he and Yan Xinyi are incredibly proud to have such an outstanding child.

At this moment, they stood up, clapping, smiling, and offering their blessings as they watched Fang Ke and Yes walk onto the stage.

Fang Ke smiled happily at the group of people, and Yan Xinyi's eyes reddened with emotion, "I don't think I've ever seen Ke Ke so happy before."

Fang Zhen laughed and said, "You married the right person?"

Yan Xinyi rolled her eyes at him. "No, I mean... it seems like she has finally found her place."

"...Is there anything different from what I said?"

Yan Xinyi said irritably, "I can't explain it to you."

"What exactly is different? Honey, don't try to be subtle."

Yan Xinyi thought to herself, it wasn't just about finding her other half and getting married.

It's as if they've weathered countless storms, finally know what they want, and have firmly grasped it—that kind of reassuring smile full of anticipation for the future.

Yan Xinyi was right, and what she didn't know was that what Fang Ke was holding onto was not only Ye Si, but also her hard-won family, friends, life, and state of being.

Mr. Li repeatedly asked the sacred vow, and the two looked at each other with smiles and said, "I do."

The crowd erupted in waves of enthusiastic cheers, chanting, "KISS! KISS! KISS!"

Mr. Li interjected with a laugh, "Is there anything else you want to say to the other party? This is a rare opportunity, Coco, why don't you take this chance to seize control of the finances?"

Everyone burst into laughter, but Ye Si lowered his eyes and smiled, "My wife definitely controls the family finances. All my assets belong to her."

The audience listened with astonishment. In the past two years, with the deregulation of some of Ye Si's projects, Ye Si has become one of the world's leading hidden billionaires... No one knows exactly how much wealth he has.

To give such a huge fortune to his newlywed wife? Is that for real? How much love must he have?

However, Fang Ke is also very strong. Although the company is not yet listed, its revenue is incredibly impressive, and that's just what's publicly available. Add to that the Fang family's background... The combination of these two is truly a model of resource integration and a powerful alliance.

Many of the unfamiliar guests thought the same way, but Qin Muyuan, Song Feiyan, and Nuo knew that Ye Si was telling the truth. Everyone took photos while covering their mouths and their eyes were filled with tears. Some were moved, and others were extremely envious.

Yes looked deeply into Fang Ke's eyes with a smile, and sighed, "I have nothing more to say. I am already very, very happy."

He kissed Fang Ke's lips and gently asked, "Is there anything else you want to say, baby?"

The scene erupted in screams; no one could sit still, and everyone propped themselves up to peer forward and witness the first glimpse.

Fang Ke thought for a long time, her beautiful eyes drooping slightly. Ye Si thought she didn't want to talk anymore, but he wasn't disappointed. Instead, he secretly squeezed her hand to remind her to come back to her senses.

Fang Ke's skin shimmered like tiny diamonds in the sunlight. She suddenly lifted her long, thick eyelashes and looked at Yes, speaking.

There's something I've always wanted to tell you.

Yes was slightly taken aback. "...What?"

His long-standing experiences made him feel nervous and uneasy at this moment, and he unconsciously tightened his grip on Fang Ke's hand.

Fang Ke grasped his hand in return, chuckling softly, signaling him not to be nervous.

"Yes, I've wronged you all this time. But I want you to know that I succeeded in my experiment. Fang Ke, who now has a normal life, will learn to love, and will love you."

Seeing Ye Si's slightly dazed face, Fang Ke leaned in, cupped his face, and planted a kiss on it.

She smiled mischievously and playfully, with a hint of willfulness, "How about I love you properly from now on?"

Bang!

A huge, colorful powder firework exploded behind the two of them. Everyone present was drawn to the sudden and stunning powder firework, but Ye Si only saw Fang Ke and even thought he had fallen into some kind of sweet illusion.

Ye Si's eyebrows twitched slightly, his eyes reddened, and he hugged Fang Ke tightly, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said, "Baby, that's enough. That's enough for now. I'm afraid I can't bear any more love."

Their whispers were muffled by the fireworks, and perhaps only Mr. Li heard them all.

As the fireworks faded, he smiled and said to everyone, "Let's congratulate the newlyweds."

The audience cheered, and Fang Ke lifted her skirt and went to the front of the stage, throwing her bouquet high into the air.

Seeing this, Qin Muyuan anxiously nudged Song Fei, "Aren't you going to try and snatch it?"

Song Fei casually tossed her hair and said, "What are you trying to steal? I don't want to get married yet."

Then they watched as the bouquet traced a beautiful parabola through the air, was intercepted by several people, and finally landed in Zhao Qi's arms, who was just about to leave his seat.

Everyone: "..."

Zhao Qi: "..."

Fang Ke laughed heartily on stage and shouted, "Junior, catch this good luck!"

Zhao Qi tossed the bouquet away again without a word. He didn't use much force, and it landed right in Fang Yefan's arms, who was not far away.

Everyone once again: "…………"

Fang Yefan: "..."

Someone chimed in, "What a match made in heaven! You two should get together!"

Zhao Qi: "…………"

Yan Nuo, who had squeezed out of the crowd, immediately said, "That won't do. If we're going to be together, it has to be with me!"

Zhao Qi's face turned ashen. "Get out."

Hahahaha!

The farce finally ended when Fang Yefan gave the bouquet to a little girl in a puffy princess dress sitting next to him.

Everyone laughed and joked on the lawn, feeling that the trip was well worth it, as they had gained a lot of knowledge and had a lot of fun.

Fang Ke and Ye Si boarded the yacht that had been prepared in advance. She stood on the boat, waving to the guests on the shore and blowing kisses to each of them.

They didn't need a helmsman; Yes took the helm himself. After the boat set sail, Fang Ke jumped to Yes's side and laughed heartily, "My dear husband Fang Ke, where are you taking me?"

Ye Si's mind had been buzzing ever since Fang Ke's confession. The sea breeze blowing in his ears finally calmed him down a bit, but his heart was still pounding uncontrollably.

“To the ends of the earth, dear Mrs. Ye,” he said with a smile.

Only then could she remove her veil, open her arms, and freely feel the wind rushing across the sea.

"Then let's elope."

She was determined to make a shocking statement, and she laughed as she leaned on the railing.

Yes lowered his eyes, the sunlight outlining his gentle and handsome face. His smile remained unchanged, and his voice drifted in the sea breeze.

"Okay, let's go now."

The yacht suddenly accelerated.

"Hey, hey, I was just kidding! Calm down! Aren't you taking your luggage?"

"I'm not bringing it anymore, I don't want to wait."

The two laughed continuously.

They marched towards the sun, towards the horizon, with an endless road ahead.

(Disclaimer! All members are straight men! This was just for the wedding entertainment effect, lol)
