Chapter 95
Three months later, at Shanshui Manor.
The vast manor was now filled with almost all of Bei Yi's wealthy and powerful families.
The marriage between the wealthy and powerful Xiang family and the up-and-coming business tycoon Sirong Technology attracted almost all the prominent figures in the industry. Even those who couldn't attend sent their younger relatives to present congratulatory gifts.
Under the bright sunshine, the lawn was beautifully decorated, but this was just the appetizer; the real wedding ceremony was to be held inside the manor.
Xiang Wan was putting on makeup in the dressing room, while Chen Yan was staring blankly at himself in the mirror in another room.
A short while later, Zhao Luyu and Ni Zhen, the two partners of Sirong Technology, pushed open the door and came in.
Although the three met in college, they hit it off immediately and became close friends. They also co-founded Sirong Technology.
Ni Zhen unbuttoned his best man suit and plopped down on the sofa in the lounge: "I have a feeling we'll be drinking until we throw up during tonight's toasts."
Zhao Luyu turned down the central air conditioning in the lounge by two degrees: "Just kidding, I feel like I'll drink myself into oblivion. Didn't you see? The CEO and vice president of Shuan and Qinglong are both here. The two of them alone are enough to keep you going."
The two of them teased each other while looking at Chen Ruilin standing in front of the mirror: "Chen Ruilin, what are you doing? Did you fall in love with your own reflection like Narcissus?"
He ignored the two of them, looked away from the mirror, and stared at them with a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Xiang Shuhan is going to marry me..."
"..."
Two single people grabbed cushions from the sofa and threw them at him, yelling, "Get lost—"
Chen Ruilin steadily caught the two cushions with one hand and placed them aside. Looking at his suit in the mirror, he felt that he was too happy to be real.
He always felt that he had been waiting for this day for many, many years.

Meanwhile, Xiang Wan, in the dressing room, was completely unaware of this. The makeup artist's brushes danced across her face, but she was intently focused on the documents in her hands.
As for Che Nanbei and Shen Feiyang, one was entertaining guests on behalf of her family, while the other was communicating with the host about some details to come.
While Xia's parents were entertaining the guests, Wang Yidong and Xia Yueshen slipped out of the meeting room into the dressing room.
Wang Yidong's eyes looked a little red, clearly indicating he had been emotional. As for Xia Yueshen, he secretly slipped something into Xiang Wan's hand.
Xiang Wan put down the documents in her hand, looked at the talisman in her hand, and had a look of indescribable disbelief on her face: "..."
"Hide it quickly. I went to a high monk a couple of days ago and got this. He said it would ensure a smooth marriage and a long and happy life together."
She sighed, silently put the talisman into the inner pocket of her wedding dress, and then turned to look at Wang Yidong: "Are my clothes all ready?"
Although newlyweds usually go on their honeymoon a few days after the wedding, the couple has to cut their honeymoon time in half because they have a huge corporation behind them. Therefore, they will be chartering a plane to a Nordic island tomorrow at noon.
Wang Yidong didn't seem very happy: "I'm ready."
Xiang Wan looked at her, somewhat amused: "Wang Yidong, I'm just going on my honeymoon, I'll be back in two weeks."
After listening, Wang Yidong remained silent, then suddenly turned her back. Xia Yueshen, who was usually carefree, watched her wipe away tears, and his own eyes reddened as well.
Seeing the two people so unusually sentimental, Xiang Wan also felt a little teary-eyed. She didn't say anything more, but got up and hugged them both.
"I just got married, nothing else has changed."
Wang Yidong didn't say anything, but hugged her back.
The three were still lost in their emotions when there was a knock on the door of the dressing room.
"Please come in."
The person who came was the wedding butler. She handed a letter and a bouquet of flowers to Xiang Wan: "Mr. Xiang, this is from a guest who asked me to give it to you. Then she left."
Xiang Wan took the bouquet, smelled it again, and then opened the letter.
The letter was pink with a three-dimensional pink relief on it. Xiang Wan opened the envelope, looked at a line of text on the letter, and raised an eyebrow.
[To my leading lady, Xiang Shuhan: I imagine you're not very welcoming of me, so I won't be attending your wedding. However, I've sent you a gift; remember to check it tonight. I wonder if it'll be a surprise or a shock.]
Xiang Wan smiled at the letter, said nothing, and put it back, instructing the wedding butler to put the letter, bouquet, and gifts from the guests together.
Xia Yueshen, who was standing nearby, leaned over for a look and asked curiously, "Who is it? What do you mean by 'my female lead'?"
Xiang Wan said casually, "An author friend."
"What gift is she talking about?"
"have no idea."
…

At the wedding, Xiang Wan and her father walked down the red carpet together, and then her father handed her hand to Chen Ruilin.
"Please recite your wedding vows together—"
Xiang Wan and Chen Ruilin looked at each other through her veil. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they both said in unison:
"Whether poor or rich..."
"Whether poor or rich..."
After the wedding, the couple returned to the Xiang family villa in their wedding car, where Xiang's parents were already asleep in their bedroom on the first floor.
Late at night, in Xiang Wan's master bedroom on the second floor, the two looked at each other in silence.
Do you want to take a shower?
"Should you wash first or should I...?"
The two of them burst out laughing.
"I'm going to take a shower now."
"good."
After they both finished showering, a kiss set them off and they couldn't stop, spending the entire night together.
Just as dawn was breaking, Xiang Wan thought it was over, but suddenly Chen Ruilin picked her up and turned her around.
"elder sister."
Xiang Wan subconsciously hummed in response, but then jumped in surprise: "What did you call me?"
The culprit looked at her innocently, but his words were like those of a ravenous wolf: "Did you like it last night, sister?"
She placed her hand on Chen Ruilin's shoulder blade, blinked, and asked with a mixture of expectation and tentative inquiry, "You remembered?"
"Um."
"I remember everything, including how my sister was very cold to me after I transferred to the affiliated high school, and how she was pursued by Jiang Yu'an from the next class."
Xiang Wan thought of the letter the author had given her and realized that the gift she had given her was actually this.
She was both surprised and delighted, and looked at Chen Ruilin as if to explain, but he gently laid her down on the bed...

"Sister, have you thought of how to explain this?"
"Wait, Chen Ruilin, you can't do that—"
