Lu Yichen shouted outside: "999 red envelopes, not one less!"
Chen Xiaoyu squatted down and opened a few of them casually, exclaiming, "Each one is 999 yuan!"
Zhuoran counted quickly: "1, 2, 3... There must be hundreds of them, right?"
"It's not enough, there's more!" Shi Heng's low voice came from outside the door, "Open the door a crack."
As soon as Jian Cheng opened the door a crack, more red envelopes poured in.
Zheng Dong shouted proudly from outside: "Keep counting! We agreed on 999. If we have one less, we lose!"
Tan Min cleared her throat and shouted through the door, "First round! Choose one out of five and identify the bride's lip print!"
The door opened a crack, and five snow-white cards were stuffed out, each with a plump lipstick mark printed in the center.
Zheng Dong wailed outside the door, "How can I guess this?"
Shi Heng didn't even raise his eyelids, and his slender fingers directly tapped on the third card.
The lipstick of the lip print is slightly raised, and there is a little bit of imperceptible gold powder on the lower right corner.
"This is Youbao's."
He said firmly, "She has the habit of pursing her lips when applying lipstick, which makes the peaks of her lips more prominent. And... this lipstick is a gift from me, it has shimmer."
Inside the door, Gu Youran's face turned red.
This lipstick is indeed a limited edition that Shi Heng brought back from Country Y, and she used it specifically this morning.
"First level passed! Second level!"
Zhuoran posed a classic question, "If the bride and your mother fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?"
The room suddenly became quiet.
Gu Youran clutched the embroidered pattern of a hundred children on her wedding dress and heard Shi Heng's steady footsteps stop in front of the door.
"I will teach them to swim in advance, but if that day ever comes..."
Suddenly, a phone call came in, "Secretary Chen, immediately convert the koi pond in the old house into a shallow water area."
The four groomsmen outside the door were all shaking from trying to hold back their laughter.
"Answer seriously!" Zhuoran stomped his feet.
Shi Heng suddenly said, "I will save Youran first, because my mother said... a real man would never let the woman he loves cry."
"Second level passed!" Zhuoran clapped his hands and announced, "Final level!"
Fu Xingyao suddenly sighed, "Anything else?"
Chen Xiaoyu smiled and said, "The groomsmen have to do push-ups together. They can only enter after doing 99 push-ups!"
The groomsmen were doing push-ups and counting, "27...28..."
"One last question!" Zhuoran suddenly raised his voice, "Please describe the bride's sleeping posture in one sentence."
"She always loves to sleep with her head resting on my arm, like a boat that has found a harbor."
Shi Heng's voice instantly quieted the noisy scene.
Gu Youran buried her face in the bouquet, and heard the groomsmen cheering after completing their push-ups, "99! Open the door!"
The moment Shi Heng pushed open the door, he saw Gu Youran at a glance.
She was sitting upright on the wedding bed covered with red dates and peanuts, looking at him with loving eyes.
"Find your shoes!" the four bridesmaids shouted in unison.
Shi Heng walked straight towards the bride, reached out and gently lifted the hem of her wedding dress, and the diamond-studded wedding shoes lay quietly there.
"How did you find it so quickly?" Gu Youran widened his eyes.
I have never revealed it to him in advance.
He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "My Youbao never wants to embarrass me."
Shi Heng knelt on one knee, took a bouquet of blue and white gentian flowers from Ke Yang, and handed it to the bride.
Gu Youran took it with both hands and held it tightly to her chest.
Shi Heng opened the pre-marital commitment letter and began to read aloud: "I promise that for the rest of my life, I will fulfill your wishes, wipe your tears, and protect your smile..."
Shi Heng's low voice echoed in the room, and Gu Youran's tears fell on the bouquet.
"I do." She reached out to help Shi Heng, but he grabbed her wrist and held her in his arms domineeringly.
At the moment of the kiss, the best men and bridesmaids cheered one after another, and the flash lights froze this moment into eternity.
Shi Heng carried Gu Youran out of the villa gate. The sight of wedding cars in front of her made her subconsciously grab the collar of his suit.
"Didn't you say... to keep a low profile?" She looked at the fleet of cars lined up in front of the door, her voice trembling slightly.
Shi Heng lowered his head and explained in her ear: "Father originally prepared 32 cars, but I persuaded them to reduce it to 11."
"This is the most 'shabby' wedding arrangement in the Shi family for nearly three generations."
At the front of the convoy was parked an extended version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom with a champagne-colored body. The golden man statue on the front of the car was temporarily replaced by a pair of crystal swans.
Behind it were ten Phantoms of the same model lined up neatly, each with a red heart-shaped knot tied on its rearview mirror.
"The first car was bought by my father with his first pot of gold. The ten cars behind it..." Shi Heng coughed lightly, "My mother said that only perfection is auspicious."
Reporters who had been waiting for a long time were trying to take pictures, but were kept three meters away by well-trained bodyguards.
The convoy drove out of the villa area and headed to the Shi Group headquarters along the predetermined route.
Traffic police along the way had already cleared a special lane, and the first car stopped steadily in front of the main entrance of the group building.
Employees from the entire building lined up on both sides and threw rose petals as the motorcade passed by.
The LED screen scrolled the words "Congratulations to Mr. Shi and Mrs. Shi on your wedding."
"Everyone is very happy." Shi Heng rolled down the car window and took the loudspeaker handed to him by his secretary. "Double salary this month."
Amid cheers, the convoy circled the building and headed straight for the Shi family's old house.
Ten escort Phantoms remained on standby at the building, ready to pick up and drop off guests in the afternoon.
The first car stopped steadily in front of the vermilion lacquered gate of the Shi family's old house.
A gilded brazier had already been placed under the red carpeted steps. The charcoal fire was burning brightly, and the sparks were crackling.
Gu Youran was about to push the door and get out of the car, but Shi Heng grabbed her hand first and said, "Wait."
He neatly removed his suit jacket and got out of the car wearing only a shirt.
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, he squatted down, took a handful of snow-white powder from the butler, and sprinkled it evenly in the brazier.
The flame instantly turned into a gentle blue and the heat dropped.
"This is magnesium powder." Shi Heng turned and held out his hand to Gu Youran, "This way you won't burn your feet."
Gu Youran's eyes were filled with tears. She didn't expect that he would do this for her.
"Master!" the housekeeper suddenly exclaimed, "This is against the rules! The ancestors said the brazier must..."
"My bride, Shi Heng," he interrupted directly, wrapping his arms firmly around Gu Youran's waist. "She doesn't need to follow any rules that will hurt her."
Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, he simply picked the person up and carried him sideways, striding over the brazier.
Gu Youran's skirt brushed past the blue flames, leaving not even a trace of a burn mark.
Shi Heng, holding his bride, stepped steadily into the courtyard of the Shi family's old house.
The red carpet was laid all the way to the entrance of the ancestral hall, with elders and relatives of the Shi family standing on both sides.
Just as Shi Heng put Gu Youran down, a gentle voice came from the side.
"Heng, you're pretty quick."
Gu Youran turned around and saw Shi Yining holding Si Wenjie's arm, looking at them with a smile.
Shi Yining was also wearing a Chinese wedding dress today, but the style was more simple and elegant. She only had a white jade hairpin in her hair, which made her temperament look gentle.
