This small matter will not affect the overall situation.

The melodious music began to play; it was Wagner's version of "Wedding March".

Ai, dressed in a wedding gown, is holding Akemi's arm with one hand and a small bouquet of lilies of the valley with the other.

After Ayumi and the other bridesmaids entered, the two walked through the flower archway and appeared before everyone, walking slowly forward.

She was beautiful to begin with, and today she had put on elaborate makeup. Even people who knew her couldn't help but be stunned when she appeared.

She wore a white satin floor-length wedding dress, with her waist decorated with embroidered floral patterns, and the petals of the embroidered pieces were adorned with diamonds.

Looking further up, there's a detachable V-neck, also made of satin embroidery and decorated with openwork lace.

The embroidered patches on the collar are decorated with embroidered beads to add texture.

The most eye-catching feature is the gemstone brooch at the center of the neckline, which sparkles brilliantly in the sunlight.

The veil on her head also had floral patterns. If you looked closely, you could see that these flowers were the same as the ones she was holding in her hands—lily of the valley flowers.

She was wearing a pair of openwork lace gloves with floral trim on her hands.

The whole wedding dress gives people a feeling of simplicity and elegance, and the satin itself has a certain style, which can be put as a sense of high-end.

Not to mention that Ai is the one wearing this wedding dress.

Her naturally aloof demeanor perfectly complements this wedding dress.

Even girls like Ran, Sonoko, Kazuha, Aoko, and Yukiko reacted the same way after seeing it, not to mention the boys.

The boys who had been invited by Guangyou, after regaining their senses, clapped while unable to help but utter sour remarks:

"This looks like a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung!"

"A toad got to eat swan meat."

“...”

They meant no harm; they were simply envious.

After all, Ai's popularity at school has always been consistently high.

Ai and Akemi came onto the stage to the accompaniment of pleasant music.

Standing on the stage, Ai had a smile on her lips, and her eyes were filled with joy and anticipation, but the nervousness from before was gone.

The makeup artist was right. Although she hadn't met Guangyou yet, her nervousness vanished as soon as she heard the music and walked through the flower archway.

At that moment, she felt only joy and anticipation to see Guangyou.

But Akemi, who was standing next to her, suddenly had a bad feeling.

When she heard the emcee let Xiao Ai enter, she had a bad feeling.

Because this was not one of the parts they had agreed upon beforehand.

During the rehearsal, the process was as usual: the groom entered, said a few words, then the bride entered, they exchanged rings and vows...

However, things didn't turn out that way at the actual wedding.

But she couldn't possibly show anything amiss; she could only force a smile, pretending nothing was wrong, and continue.

At this moment, she thought to herself:

"I wonder what Guangyou is thinking."

"I'll have to give him a good talking to later."

As the bride entered, the emcee smiled and said to Mingmei:

"It's clear that the older sister's feelings are quite complicated, after all, her younger sister is going to be taken care of by a man today."

"I wonder what you want to say right now, sister?"

There was no going back now, so Mingmei could only take the microphone and say with a smile:

"Actually, I don't have much to say."

“I watched these two children grow up. I can say that I witnessed their relationship from the beginning to their marriage.”

"If it were someone else, I would say something harsh right now, like, 'If you ever bully my sister again, I will never let you get away with it.'"

As soon as he finished speaking, most of the guests smiled knowingly.

Immediately afterwards, Akemi said:

"Actually, I'm very grateful to him."

"My sister and I have some unique family circumstances; we went through a rather dark period..."

The invited guests were all strangers; they knew each other to some extent.

Like the Mori couple, Aoko, Sonoko and Kyogoku, or Heiji and Kazuha, Takagi and Sato, Inspector Megure, or Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta, as well as their classmates and teachers...

These people knew that Ai's parents had died early, and her older sister was in her early twenties and still in school. In addition to her own studies, she also had to take on the responsibility of taking care of her younger sister.

Regarding Ai's family, Kōyū always says the following to the public:

Due to work, Akemi needs to go abroad for a period of time. She originally wanted to take Ai with her, but Ai wanted to stay. So, through her teacher Masami Hirota, she asked Professor Agasa to take care of her.

Needless to say, those who knew the inside story, such as Shinichi Kudo, Heiji, Kaito, and Narumi, were even more aware of it.

Then Akemi continued:

"But all of that is in the past now."

“During that time, Guangyou helped us a lot.”

“I know his character well, and I also know very well how he has treated my sister over the years.”

“I feel very reassured that my sister married him.”

"May they be forever united in love and live a happy and fulfilling life together."

“...”

As she was speaking, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the emcee standing by the stage chatting with a staff member.

Judging from the emcee's expression, it didn't seem to be a good thing.

Her sense of unease grew stronger.

After she finished speaking, the emcee smiled and went up on stage to address the audience:

"Yes, love is never an easy thing. The fact that the love between this couple can still shine brightly and romantically after the test of time is truly a beautiful story."
