Lina lowered her head shyly, but couldn't hide the sweet curve at the corner of her mouth.
Amidst everyone's blessings, Renault took her hand and walked towards the ceremony area.
The suspended sea of flowers seemed to sense their happiness and formed a huge heart pattern above their heads.
In the guest seats on the right, Su Manyun and his son Shi Jue, Shi Zhengfeng and his wife Sun Huili and their son Shi Xuan sat together.
Their expressions were clearly out of tune with the joyful atmosphere around them.
"Mom, look at these decorations," Shi Jue lowered his voice, "I heard these floating flowers alone cost tens of millions."
Su Manyun sneered, "It's just a small amount of money. Didn't you hear what the old lady said just now?"
"These ten floors above are all gifts that Grandpa gave to Shi Heng for his eighteenth birthday."
When Shi Zhengfeng heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy.
He took a swig of champagne, slamming the glass down on the table.
"Dad," Shi Xuan reminded quietly, "Everyone is watching."
Sun Huili quickly held her husband's hand, nodded to the guests with a fake smile, and then gritted her teeth and whispered, "Calm down! There are so many people here today, don't embarrass yourself!"
"calm?"
Shi Zhengfeng growled, gritting his teeth. "My son turned eighteen, and the old man gave him a sports car! Why does Shi Heng get a ten-story building?"
"Shh!" Su Manyun glared at them warningly, "The ceremony is about to begin."
Shi Jue leaned close to his mother's ear, his voice filled with resentment, "Mom, if something unexpected happens today..."
Su Manyun pinched her son's arm in a warning tone, but a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Why are you in such a hurry? The best is yet to come."
At this moment, the master of ceremonies' voice sounded: "Please take your seats, the wedding ceremony is about to begin."
According to the pre-arranged process, the three couples went on stage one by one in order to complete the ceremony.
"Please ask the first couple to get ready." The host's voice came through the speakers.
Lina took Renault's arm.
The two walked slowly towards the central ceremony platform, and the suspended sea of flowers automatically separated into a passage.
The celebrant began to read the oath: "Mr. Renault, do you take Ms. Lina to be your wife? No matter good times or bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, you promise to love her, respect her, and protect her forever until the end of your life?"
Renault's voice trembled a little, "I do."
The master of ceremonies turned to Lina again and repeated the oath.
Tears glistened in Lina's eyes. "I do."
After exchanging rings, the two hugged and kissed.
As the applause rang out, Gu Youran kept looking down at his phone with a frown on his face.
She whispered to Shi Heng, "Strange, Master and Senior Brother checked into the hotel yesterday afternoon, why is there still no news?"
Shi Heng's face was calm, but he knew the reason very well.
Last night he specially sent someone to deliver tea with sleeping pills to his master and senior brother, and also arranged four bodyguards to guard them. They would not wake up until at least tomorrow.
In his eyes, the master's unfathomable means are the biggest variable of this wedding.
Even if Gu Youran would be angry afterwards, he had to do this.
He would never allow anyone to ruin their wedding.
Shi Heng held her hand and comforted her softly, "There might be a traffic jam on the road. I'll ask someone to check it out right away. Don't worry."
Seeing that Gu Youran was still uneasy, he reminded her gently, "Go to the lounge and get ready first. Once Yining and the others are done, it will be our turn to go on stage."
Gu Youran nodded and walked towards the lounge with her skirt lifted.
Shi Heng watched her leave, his eyes gradually darkening.
He had calculated everything long ago to ensure that no accidents would occur today.
Just then, the music switched to a lively waltz, and the guests turned their heads to look towards the entrance.
Shi Yining held Shi Zhengyang's arm and walked towards him step by step in rhythm.
"Are you nervous?" He looked serious and patted the back of her hand gently.
Shi Yining grinned, "No way! I can't wait for this to end. My feet are hurting from the high heels."
Shi Zhengyang shook his head helplessly, but his eyes were full of love.
When the two men walked to the front of the ceremony platform, Si Wenjie had already stood straight, but his fingers were unconsciously tugging at the hem of his suit, revealing his nervousness.
Shi Zhengyang held Shi Yining's hand and placed it solemnly in Si Wenjie's palm.
"Wenjie, I leave Ningning to you. She has an impatient temper, but a soft heart. You have to be more tolerant of her."
Si Wenjie nodded immediately, his tone serious as if he was swearing, "Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of her."
Shi Yining curled her lips, "Who needs your care? I can knock you down with one punch."
The guests burst into laughter, and even the host couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, two newcomers."
The emcee cleared his throat and began to read the oath, "Mr. Si Wenjie, do you take Ms. Shi Yining as your wife? No matter good times or bad, in health or sickness, love her, respect her, and protect her until the end of your life?"
Si Wenjie took a deep breath and said in a higher pitch than usual, "I do!"
Shi Yining chuckled: "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Si Wenjie's ears flushed red as he muttered softly, "I, I'm nervous..."
The emcee suppressed his laughter and turned to Yining to repeat the oath.
Shi Yining blinked, then suddenly tiptoed close to Si Wenjie's ear and whispered in a whisper that everyone in the room could hear, "Hey, if I say 'no', will you cry?"
Si Wenjie's eyes widened, and before he could react, she turned to the emcee with a smile: "I do!"
The whole audience burst into laughter again.
When exchanging rings, Si Wenjie's hands were shaking so much that he almost couldn't hold it steady. Shi Yining simply snatched it from him and put it on himself, then skillfully put the men's ring on him.
"Now, the groom may kiss the bride."
Before Si Wenjie could move, Shi Yining had already grabbed his tie and kissed him on tiptoe.
The guests cheered and applauded. Shi Zhengyang smiled and shook his head, but his eyes were slightly moist.
After the kiss, Shi Yining dragged Si Wenjie off the stage, "Hurry, hurry, I need to change into flat shoes!"
Si Wenjie staggered as he was dragged away by her, but he did not forget to turn back and bow to the guests, causing everyone to laugh again.
The music started and Gu Youran walked slowly towards him.
She took Shi Heng's arm and they walked to the emcee.
The emcee asked, "Mr. Shi Heng, are you willing to marry Ms. Gu Youran? No matter good times or bad, in health or sickness, love her, respect her, and protect her until the end of your life?"
Shi Heng stared into Gu Youran's eyes and said, "I do."
The emcee turned to Gu Youran and said, "Ms. Gu Youran, are you willing to marry Mr. Shi Heng? No matter good times or bad, in health or sickness, you will love him, respect him, and protect him until your soul is sacrificed?"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Youran blurted out, "I do!"
The ring box in Shi Heng's hand closed with a snap.
He looked up suddenly, his eyes sharp as a knife.
That "soul sacrifice" is definitely not a normal oath.
He protected Gu Youran behind him, his knuckles turning white from the force.
The suspended sea of flowers suddenly stopped, and a few petals shattered silently.
The smile on the emcee's face gradually widened. "Junior Sister, are you satisfied with Master's 'gift'?"
