The wedding banquet venue was not far from the hotel. The procession carried the sedan chair with music and festivities, and it took about half an hour to reach the venue. This was something that was taken into consideration when choosing the hotel, because in traditional Chinese weddings, people cannot ride in cars, otherwise it would seem out of place.

Walking on foot all the way is too tiring if the distance is long.

Upon arriving at the wedding banquet venue, after the emcee warmed up the atmosphere, Han Yunqi, holding a red silk ribbon, led Tang Xiaoxiao into the venue. They stepped over a saddle with red apples and a brazier with burning charcoal, symbolizing peace and prosperity year after year. Then they went up to the stage, where cannons were fired and music was played.

Holding a scale rod, Han Yunqi slowly lifted the red veil from Tang Xiaoxiao's head as the music played.

The moment the bride's face was revealed, the entire hall gasped in surprise.

None of Han's relatives and friends had ever seen Tang Xiaoxiao before, so it was normal for them to be surprised and exclaim in surprise when they suddenly saw how beautiful she was in person.

Han Yunqi's childhood friends immediately started whistling.

They'd been fooling around together since they were kids, and the more lively the atmosphere, the better. No one thought they were being rude. Tang Xiaoxiao even heard a young man on stage say to the person next to him in a loud voice, "Holy crap! Where did this kid find such a fairy!"

The voice was so distinctive that Tang Xiaoxiao, who had accompanied Han Yunqi and others on many outings and meals in her past life, immediately recognized it as being spoken by someone named Zhang Chenghao.

Thinking of this person's goofy nature, she couldn't help but smile.

That laugh almost made Han Yunqi's soul fly away.

The emcee, who was standing nearby, was the one most strongly affected and immediately stared wide-eyed.

A dozen seconds later, the emcee, who had almost suffered a career Waterloo, regained his composure and made a witty remark to save face: "Seeing the bride made me realize that the poem 'One glance can topple a city, a second glance can topple a nation' is not an exaggeration. The ancients were right!"

The words were exaggerated, but no one present thought there was anything wrong with them.

No one laughed at the emcee's earlier lapse in composure; at least half the men in the room were just like him, so no one should laugh at anyone else.

Next, Guo Mingli stepped forward and handed a pair of lit dragon and phoenix wedding candles to Tang Xiaoxiao, symbolizing the continuation of the family line from generation to generation.

Then comes the wedding ceremony, a deep bow signifying a blessed union destined for this lifetime;

Two bows were made to create a beautiful couple;

Three bows to heaven and earth, fulfilling the vows made across mountains and seas.

Bowing to parents is a first bow to the bond of blood, a bond as vast as the Eastern Sea;

I bow twice to express my gratitude for your upbringing; your kindness is as heavy as a mountain.

Wishing you three blessings: may you enjoy family happiness and live a long and healthy life.

Thank you, distinguished guests, for your presence.

I thank my relatives and friends twice, and then go to the hall to offer my congratulations.

I thank my neighbors three times for their support and encouragement.

Husband and wife bow to each other, one bow, showing equality between men and women, and treating each other with the respect due to guests;

A second bow, may we forever be in love and bound by a common heart;

Three bows, two red flowers blooming side by side, hearts intertwined.

This bow after singing the lyrics inexplicably made the atmosphere of the entire event much more solemn and dignified.

This is the charm of traditional Chinese weddings.

After offering tea and changing their address to each other, and accepting red envelopes, the young couple drank the nuptial wine, thus completing the ceremony.

The audience erupted in applause.

The parents of both families looked at the newlywed couple with undisguised smiles of satisfaction.

Laugh, laugh! On this joyous day, who wouldn't be happy?

He Haisheng and his group of spoiled rich kids arrived as promised to send Tang Xiaoxiao off to her wedding. At this moment, they were all envious. The few who already had partners couldn't help but hold their girlfriends' hands, and the thought of "why not get married sooner" popped into their minds.

Qiao Yang became single again and did not go back to find her as Yu Duo had imagined.

Yu Duo was very unwilling and tried to contact Qiao Yang several more times, but in the end Qiao Yang blacklisted her number.
