The reason why he has remained in the position of head of the family is not because he cannot find a suitable successor, but because he personally does not want to abdicate.
Knowing that Gu Hongjing didn't care about it, Gu Qingze's guilt and apology were relieved, and he finally got rid of this emotion.
........
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao agreed that the main purpose of holding the Dao-ending Ceremony again was to experience the sense of ritual and that it would be enough to just go through the motions.
Although Gu Qingze wanted to make it a grand ceremony, considering Ling Xiao's resistance to cumbersome procedures, the two of them discussed and decided to streamline the process and just make the ceremony warm and meaningful.
On the day of the ceremony, the sun was shining brightly, the Gu family mansion was decorated with a new look, and the air was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Su Ming and Zhou Yue, as well as Su Han and Song Jinnian, a pair of close friends, came all the way from afar to add a bit of joy and excitement to their celebration.
The arrival of their friends made Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao very happy, and also made the atmosphere of the entire ceremony more warm and cozy.
Although most of the Chu family members who attended were relatives that Ling Xiao did not know, upon learning that it was his wedding day, they still came to congratulate him and expressed their sincere blessings and care to Ling Xiao.
The entire Gu family, whether from the main branch or the branch branches, gathered together to witness this important moment. The Gu family gave Ling Xiao a warm welcome and sincere blessings, making him deeply feel the warmth and acceptance of the Gu family.
At the ceremony, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao wore gorgeous dresses, exchanged tokens of love, and solemnly vowed to be together for life.
.........
After the ceremony ended, Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao walked hand in hand into the room carefully prepared for them. The door was lightly closed, and they were the only two people in the room, which was quiet and warm.
"How do you feel?" Gu Qingze looked at Chu Lingxiao with a smile, and found that the other party's gaze was also falling gently on him.
"...Actually, I feel a little regretful." Chu Lingxiao pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingze moved slightly, almost hugging Chu Lingxiao in his arms, "What are you regretting? Are you regretting being with me?"
"What are you imagining?" Chu Lingxiao chuckled and flicked Gu Qingze's forehead with his finger. "How could I possibly regret every moment I spent with you?"
"I just feel that the process hasn't been streamlined enough." Chu Lingxiao sighed softly. "Although the Dao-Bounding Ceremony only lasted one day, I still felt a little exhausted facing so many unfamiliar people."
"Then how else do you think Ling Xiao can simplify it?" Gu Qingze asked curiously.
"For example... after we exchanged tokens and made vows, immediately..."
Chu Lingxiao's voice gradually became low, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to Gu Qingze's lips, and a barely noticeable blush appeared on his face.
"Qingze, we'll talk about these topics later...A night of love is worth a thousand gold. Now, shouldn't we spend our wedding night?"
Chu Lingxiao, with a hint of teasing, gently pressed Gu Qingze onto the bed, with a playful glint in his eyes.
Gu Qingze reacted quickly, turning over and pushing Chu Lingxiao back. At the same time, he gently lifted his chin with his fingertips, and said with a hint of temptation:
"Since we're going to enter the bridal chamber, of course it has to be a little special. Ling Xiao, do you want to try something different?"
"A different trick?" Chu Lingxiao's eyes flashed with anticipation. He licked his lower lip, as if he couldn't wait any longer. "How special would that be?"
"Just try it and you'll know."
Gu Qingze chuckled, starting from Chu Lingxiao's forehead, gently placed a kiss, and then slowly moved down...
