Chapter 473 The wedding is here! Don't worry, there's more tomorrow.
As dawn broke, the Chu family villa was already enveloped in pink Austin roses.
Lu Qing was dragged out of bed early in the morning to do her makeup. She didn't even open her eyes and was sitting in a chair, feeling drowsy.
She was surrounded by a whole makeup team, some doing makeup, some styling her hair, and they even gave her hand care.
In the next room, Gu Fei, Cheng Yiyi, Leng Wei, Yang Xiwen, and Liu Manyun were still coordinating the wedding arrangements to avoid any mistakes.
Liu Manyun is five months pregnant, and despite her big belly, she's still worrying about how to make things difficult for the groomsmen later.
Around nine o'clock, Lu woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a completely different version of myself in the mirror.
The professional stylist team is truly skilled. Although Lu Qing is already beautiful enough on a normal day, after a sophisticated makeover, her beauty is elevated to another level.
After changing into her wedding dress, Lu Qing became a completely different person.
This wedding dress was specially designed for Han Ziyuan and took several months to complete.
The exquisite lace and chiffon are cleverly combined, the collar is inlaid with pearls, the cuffs are embroidered with silver threads, and the skirt, which is several meters long, is like a cascading Milky Way.
A long satin ribbon winds down from the neckline, through layers of lace, and is tied at the waist.
A bow.
This made Lu Qing appear as stunningly beautiful as a goddess descended to earth.
After getting dressed, Lu Qing walked out of the room.
Chu Panshan, Han Ziyuan, and their brothers and sisters-in-law were both happy to see her and couldn't help but tear up.
"It's so beautiful!"
Han Ziyuan stepped forward, gently stroking Lu Qing's veil, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Lu Qing quickly reached out to wipe away her tears:
"Mom, why are you crying? It's not like I'm not coming back!"
Chu Panshan laughed and said, "Your mother is just too sentimental."
"Wife, today is a joyous day, you mustn't cry!"
Besides, the Gu family's house is only a dozen kilometers away; it's just a short drive. You can see your daughter anytime you want.
Han Ziyuan glared at him: "I know everything you're saying, but I just can't bear to part with it."
"Alright! The wedding procession will be here soon. Let's go touch up our makeup; we can't let people laugh at us!"
Just then, the sound of a car horn came from outside.
The bridesmaids quickly pulled the bride into the room and closed the door.
Outside, more than a dozen luxury cars were parked in front of the ornate iron gate.
Gu Xicheng buttoned the third button of his suit jacket, and the rearview mirror reflected the five groomsmen's spirited faces.
"Final check."
Wang Yanjun looked at the others and said seriously:
"Ladies and gentlemen, although the bridesmaids inside are all your wives, you must not show favoritism at this crucial moment!"
"Don't worry! We're the best men today, and we only have one goal—to help Old Gu win back his bride!" Meng Lianyun said with high spirits.
Ruan Yinchen coughed lightly:
"Um... let's be more civilized."
Before the words were finished, the bay window on the third floor suddenly opened.
Wearing a champagne-colored dress, Gu Fei leaned against the windowsill and shouted loudly:
"Want to pick up the bride? You'll have to get past your five brothers-in-law first."
Tang Yu quickly pulled out a miniature drone, frowning as he said:
"The thermal imaging shows there are five people guarding the corridor, wait... why are the Five Elements Spirit Beasts here too?"
The group looked at each other, suddenly feeling a headache coming on.
"Even the Five Elements Spirit Beasts have been summoned to block the door. It seems we're in for a tough time today!"
"It's okay! We have a secret weapon!"
Ruan Yinchen took out vacuum-packed roast chicken and cured meat from her bag:
"These are Little Coal Ball's favorite foods. Use these to distract it. No problem."
Sure enough, Ruan Yinchen tossed the food aside, and Little Coal Ball's eyes immediately drifted over.
At first it could tolerate it, but as Ruan Yinchen took out more and more food, it finally couldn't help but run away.
The five brothers-in-law's faces immediately darkened.
This guy is so unreliable!
Gu Xicheng led his groomsmen smoothly through the iron gate and arrived at the main entrance inside.
"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother."
Gu Xicheng obediently greeted everyone one by one.
As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, and the five brothers-in-law returned the smile.
"Xiao Gu, although we have already acknowledged your status as my brother-in-law, if you want to take Qingqing away, you will still have to pay a price."
Gu Xicheng: "Brother, bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve!"
Chu Qianlan pointed to her head:
"Qingqing is in a room on the second floor. We won't let you through this door. If you want to go up, you can only do so from the outside."
"Outside?"
Wang Yanjun took a few steps back and looked up.
A rope ladder descended from the second floor, and Cheng Yiyi stood by the window, smiling:
"If you want to pick up the bride, climb up here!"
"You can only climb by hand, no cheating with magic!"
Gu Xicheng raised an eyebrow at the rope ladder: "Fine, I'll climb it!"
At this height, he wouldn't need to use magic.
"Brothers, let's go!"
Gu Xicheng was about to climb when Meng Lianyun stopped him.
"Old Gu, wait a minute! I don't think the first hurdle will be that easy!"
“Look at how much my Yiyi is smiling. Based on my experience, the one who goes first is never a good person, so let me go first.”
Gu Xicheng nodded: "Okay! Thanks, brother!"
Meng Lianyun was the first to climb the rope ladder.
Upstairs, Leng Wei smiled at Cheng Yiyi: "Your husband, you mustn't be soft-hearted!"
Cheng Yiyi pressed the remote control in her hand without hesitation.
"Soft-hearted? Those two words don't even exist in my dictionary!"
The next second, a showerhead opened upstairs, spraying out a jet of water that drenched Meng Lianyun.
Meng Lianyun spat out water and looked at Cheng Yiyi with a wronged expression:
"Honey, you're really willing to do this!"
Cheng Yiyi chuckled: "Serves you right! Who told you to go first!"
If Gu Xicheng had been the one to lead the charge, they wouldn't have sprayed water.
After all, it wouldn't be good to make the groom look disheveled on such a joyous day.
Although Meng Lianyun was soaked to the bone, at least he made it safely to the second floor.
But each of the groomsmen had to be hit by a jet of water. When it was Gu Xicheng's turn, Leng Wei took out a box.
The box has a combination lock with a four-digit code.
"What does this mean?" Gu Xicheng asked.
Leng Wei cleared her throat and smiled:
"This is a challenge exclusively for the groom. The password was set by the bride herself. You can only come up if you open the box within the time limit."
"Isn't there a hint for this password?" Gu Xicheng asked.
Leng Wei shook her head: "There was no hint, and it didn't have any special meaning. It was just four numbers that Qingqing subconsciously reacted to."
"How are we supposed to guess?" The groomsmen all looked troubled.
"You're deliberately making things difficult for me!"
Gu Fei smiled and shook her head: "No, no! This is a test of the bride and groom's understanding!"
"Didn't you just say it was time-limited? How long is the time limit?" Ruan Yinchen asked.
Gu Fei took out a lighter and aimed it at the rope ladder:
"Answer the question before the rope burns out, and you'll pass!"
Everyone was immediately shocked.
"If he can't answer that, won't Old Gu fall down?"
"Gu Fei, this is your own brother!"
Gu Fei: "Don't worry! There are mats underneath, so he won't fall. Besides, with my brother's physique, he won't even get hurt from this height."
Gu Xicheng is no ordinary person now. Even if he fell more than ten meters from the second floor, let alone the less than ten-meter height of the second floor, he wouldn't die.
As she spoke, Gu Fei had already lit the rope.
The rope is made of a special material that cannot be easily burned through, so Gu Xicheng has at least five minutes.
He first tried Lu Qing's birthday, their wedding anniversary, and the number of days they had been together, but found that none of them were correct.
“Brother, I told you, it’s not any special day,” Gu Fei said with a smile.
Gu Xicheng frowned and pondered for a long time.
As the rope burned thinner and thinner, he suddenly seemed to remember something and hurriedly asked:
When did you ask Qingqing to set the password?
Yang Xiwen: "Around 5:30 in the morning!"
Gu Xicheng immediately guessed the password and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I see."
He quickly pressed the combination lock to the 0000 position, then pulled hard, and the lock clicked open.
The bridesmaids were astonished: "How did you know it was 0000?"
Gu Xicheng rolled his eyes at them:
“You gave this lock to Qingqing at 5:30 in the morning. She was probably too sleepy to keep her eyes open, so she didn’t have time to think of the password. She probably just left it there without even trying.”
Upon hearing this, the bridesmaids all gave him a thumbs up.
Gu Xicheng immediately jumped upstairs, and the rope ladder burned through at that moment.
