The reason was simple: this was the heart of the capital, and Huo Yunchao wanted to give his beloved a grand wedding. Qin Shu, without hesitation, hitched a ride.
Early in the morning, two girls were getting their hair and makeup done at the Yosemite Plaza. The stylist was from the team of photographer Sman, known as Tony.
Xue Qiandai is tall and has fair skin. Tony styled her as a Greek goddess, with a Bulgari crown and a white fishtail gown.
Jian Yan is petite and delicate. She is wearing a traditional bright red auspicious dress with a shawl covering her face.
"Tsk tsk, so beautiful, what a lovely pair of sisters. These days, there are countless similar faces among internet celebrities, but truly unique looks are one in a million."
Xue Qiandai and Jian Yan accepted it with a smile.
Sman had never heard of a camera before, and he kept pressing the shutter button.
Ji Jiaying was busy helping her daughter get married, offering constructive advice and wiping away tears from time to time.
Jianyan's mother had never seen anything like this before, so she just stood obediently by her side.
The makeup assistant saw the car approaching downstairs and called out to the bride, "The groom's car has arrived, get ready."
Huo Yunchao's best man was Li Xing, and Qin Shu's best man was Jian Yao.
"Should we block the door?" Ji Jiaying asked, respecting her daughter's opinion.
Xue Qiandai and Jian Yan exchanged a glance. "No, let's open the door."
The two groomsmen each carried a black bag filled with pre-packaged red envelopes. Without being bothered, the groomsmen cheerfully handed out the red envelopes to everyone.
Huo Yunchao and Qin Shu walked in one after the other.
Huo Yunchao had seen Xue Qiandai in formal attire many times, but this was the first time he had seen her in a wedding dress; she was even more beautiful and captivating than he had imagined. Qin Shu's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Sman acted as the temporary emcee, saying, "The groom must carry the bride downstairs to the car without stopping, symbolizing that their love will never cease."
Huo Yunchao scooped Xue Qiandai up in a princess carry, quickly carried her downstairs, and easily placed her in the car. Qin Shu followed behind, exchanging glances with Jian Yan as they went.
The two convoys set off from the Central Villa District in a grand procession, took the Jingcheng Expressway, passed Wangjing Bridge, entered the Fourth Ring Road, and headed straight for the heart of the capital.
The wedding was scheduled for 10 o'clock. Upon arrival at the destination, the groom went to the wedding venue first, while the bride waited in the car.
Xue Jingnian came over first. He was wearing a black shirt, a dark suit, and delicate cufflinks on his wrists. Although his white hair was striking, it gave him an elegant and extraordinary air when paired with his outfit.
“My daughter is especially adorable today.”
Xue Qiandai smiled and took her father's arm. "The great legacy of genes. I am my father's continuation."
As a bell rang, the emcee's loudspeaker blared throughout the church. "Please welcome the bride!"
Xue Qiandai, arm in arm with Xue Jingnian, and Jian Yan, arm in arm with her father, gracefully entered the wedding venue.
The two grooms stood in the center of the church, waiting for the bride to arrive.
The guests in the church all stood up, including people from the tide, fashion studios, and coffee shops, as well as Rong Xiao and Zhao Jiequn, and Lan Shan and Zhao Jiening leading their two-and-a-half-year-old toddler, all turning to watch the bride's entrance.
Beauty is in its own way.
Meeting Huo Meiren's burning gaze, Xue Qiandai's steps became even steadyer, and her smile even brighter. Jian Yan, on the other hand, blushed and looked quite shy.
The two fathers handed the two brides over to the grooms.
The officiant was Ma Chensheng, founder of TC Group. He unfolded a certificate and said in a clear voice, "AI and algorithms are popular these days. But what is the algorithm for marriage? Marriage cannot be calculated. In the end, 'Let it go' is the best algorithm. No matter how realistic life is, everyone should have a field in their heart filled with gentle kindness. When you are soft, you can ignore the hard edges of life. I wish both couples a life of mutual respect and affection."
The emcee asked Huo Yunchao, "Huo Yunchao, are you willing to marry Xue Qiandai, to spend the rest of your life together, never to part, to hold her hand, and to be of one heart forever?"
Huo Yunchao gazed at Xue Qiandai until her pretty face flushed red before replying, "I do."
The emcee then asked Xue Qiandai, "Are you willing to marry Huo Yunchao, to spend the rest of your life together, never to part, to hold his hand and be of one heart forever?"
"I do."
"Alright, let's exchange tokens now."
The ring and Love River necklace that Huo Yunchao ordered for Xue Qiandai are from the same series. The main stone is a blue diamond that shines with crystal brilliance. It weighs 5.2 carats and symbolizes "I love you". It has a perfect cut and is dazzling.
After exchanging tokens of love, the two signed their names on the marriage certificate.
The emcee then asked Qin Shu the same question. Qin Shu, quite boldly, lowered his head and pecked Jian Yan's lips, saying, "That's my answer."
The emcee looked at Jian Yan, asking if she should continue asking questions.
Jian Yan touched her lips, as if savoring the memory, but ultimately did nothing rash. "I do."
The ruby ring Qin Shu gave to Jian Yan matched her festive attire perfectly.
The next step is for the newlyweds to serve tea to both sets of parents.
After many years, Xue Jingnian and Ji Jiaying appeared together for the first time, receiving tea from their daughter and son-in-law. Huo Shuisheng and Yun Zhan smiled and accepted the tea from their daughter-in-law.

Behind the church, hidden in the crowd, stood a small old man. His back was slightly hunched, and his eyes no longer held the sharpness of a few years ago. He held a cane, stroking the dragon head on it, and looked ahead with anticipation.
His wife, his daughter, and of course his children from his previous marriage, were all in this church.
Suddenly, he heard a cough, looked up, and saw Xue Jingnian, whom he regarded as his lifelong rival.
