Chapter 51
Xing Bei planned the time and place, and in the end, she decided to set the wedding date for July 17th.
Lu Runxu was very curious as to why this day was chosen.
She said: That was the first time we met, the beginning of our destiny. Although the outcome was not as we hoped, I think the beginning of our future together will also be on this day, and what follows will be our happiness.
As for why Ireland was chosen as the location, Lu Runxu simply believed that the scenery there was beautiful, and holding the wedding there would be a memorable experience.
But only Xing Bei herself knew that her choice of Ireland was not only because of its beautiful scenery, but also because of a little superstition.
On the eve of the wedding, Xing Bei was picked up by Lu's mother and taken to the other side of the hotel, while Ji Youli looked after Lu Runxu.
On a misty morning, as dawn broke on the horizon, the castle remained dark, with only a faint light shining from the reliefs.
Lu Runxu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the golden light on the horizon, while the white light in the room swept across the clock on the wall.
4:20 AM
There were still several hours before the wedding started.
Lu Runxu rubbed his temples. If it weren't for his mother's repeated warnings that seeing the bride before the wedding was unlucky, he really wanted to go find Xing Bei right now.
Lin Zhuochi, who was sleeping in a carefree posture on the bed, woke up groggily and saw a tall and upright person standing by the window. He walked over and put his hand on the person's shoulder.
"Ah Xu, why are you up so early?" Lin Zhuochi looked at him sleepily. "You're not so nervous that you can't sleep, are you?"
Lu Runxu looked at the sun slowly rising on the horizon, pursed his lips, and thought he wouldn't answer, but the next second he heard the person beside him softly hum in agreement.
I'm very nervous.
Lin Zhuochi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at him. The sunlight shone on his handsome face, and with the slight upward curve, it was tinged with warmth. Lin Zhuochi did not expect him to admit it so easily.
But there's nothing surprising about it. After all the twists and turns, who wouldn't be nervous to finally marry the girl they've had their eye on for years?
Lu Runxu looked at his watch. It had been less than an hour since he was going to see his bride. He had never felt that waiting for so many years was very long, but now it felt like he had been waiting for half a century.
On the other side, Xing Bei also got up early to pack. She hadn't slept well last night, and the thought of her upcoming wedding with Lu Runxu made her very excited.
Ms. Shi slept with her yesterday. When she saw her get up, she went downstairs to get breakfast. The makeup artist also arrived.
Seeing her bright eyes and brows in the mirror, Ms. Shi's eyes welled up with tears.
10:00 AM
At the wedding, the weather was bright and sunny, just like the day they met.
Lu Runxu held a grand wedding, wanting everyone to know that he had finally married the girl he had loved for many years.
The guests had already arrived at the lawn of the wedding venue. Lu Runxu was afraid that she would not like a large crowd, so he only invited some close friends.
After changing into her wedding dress, Xing Bei was escorted by her father to the main wedding venue. Seeing the expectant gazes of everyone, Xing Bei's heart beat faster and faster.
Her wedding dress was her favorite court style, with a long train draped behind her and adorned with diamonds of all sizes, sparkling brilliantly in the sunlight.
The skirt is covered with round pearls and adorned with intricate and gorgeous patterns. With each step, the hem sways gently, and in the orange glow, she looks like a fairy descending from the waves, simply breathtaking.
Her hair was combed up on both sides, and the gorgeous and extravagant headdress shimmered with a subtle light. The necklace and earrings were all custom-made by Lu's mother. It is said that this designer has retired from the business.
A man in a black tuxedo standing not far away watched this scene with a look of amazement in his eyes.
When the custom-made wedding dress was delivered to China, Lu's mother accompanied him to try it on. This is the first time he has seen Xing Bei wearing the wedding dress.
In the sunlight, the girl lowered her head slightly, a smile on her cheeks. The veil added a touch of hazy beauty to her bright face.
The striking red hair color didn't seem out of place at all; instead, it gave off a unique beauty. Beside him, the elegant and gentlemanly king, arm in arm with a fairy descending from the heavens, walked step by step to his side.
The bridesmaids and groomsmen scattered flower petals as they walked through the arched floral wreath alongside the bride, amidst joyful blessings from the surrounding crowd.
As she got closer to Lu Runxu, she saw him standing on the stage, tall and straight, like a noble young master from the West. Through the snow-white veil, Xing Bei noticed that his lips were tightly pursed.
He seemed very nervous.
Before anyone knew it, the surrounding guests had quieted down. She stood in front of Lu Runxu, and Xing's father glanced at the person beside him, smiled slightly, and handed his white-gloved hand to the person opposite him.
Lu Runxu's gaze fell on Xing's father, and he tightened his grip on Xing Bei's hand. His clear voice seemed to tremble slightly: "Dad, thank you for entrusting your daughter to me."
Mr. Xing held their hands tightly, his eyes welling up with tears: "Now that I'm entrusting Mingzhu to you, if I find out you're not treating Mingzhu well, I'll make you regret it."
"Dad, don't worry." Lu Runxu's gaze returned to Xing Bei's face. "I will never let Mingzhu suffer any injustice. I will treat her well for the rest of my life."
Xing Bei noticed through the veil that Lu Runxu's eyes were red at the corners, and she lowered her eyes and curved her lips into a smile.
Lu Runxu stared at the person in front of him, and only now, after yesterday, did he feel a sense of reality.
He really did marry the girl he had liked for ten years.
All of this is no longer a dream; he will spend his whole life with the girl he loves.
The wedding ring was brought up amidst cheers, and Chi Qingtang had already been crying her eyes out below, her eyes still red before she went on stage.
Xing Bei took Lu Runxu's hand and slowly slipped the simple silver ring onto her finger, then looked up at him.
"Lu Runxu".
"I am here."
"Congratulations, your wish has come true."
Lu Runxu's eyes were already red: "Xing Bei."
"I love you."
Upon seeing the ceremony complete, the crowd erupted in cheers, with Cheng Zongye being the most enthusiastic, as if he were the one getting married.
"Give me a kiss."
"Give me a kiss."
"Give me a kiss, give me a kiss!!!"
...
Lu Runxu glanced at the cheering crowd below, and under everyone's gaze, gently lifted the white veil, held the bride's neck, and kissed her.
"Woo~"
Happy wedding!
Everyone congratulated the newlyweds, and the people holding the ceremonial cannons turned on together, sending colorful ribbons fluttering in the air.
Despite the blessings, Lu Runxu's heart was still pounding. The silver ring that Xing Bei had personally placed on his finger felt as hot as her skin.
A fleeting glance ten years ago sealed his fate; he knew he could never have anyone but her.
Now his dream has come true, and with the blessings of family and friends, he is spending his life with the girl he loves.
Never to be separated.

Wedding banquet.
Cheng Zong also acted like a relative of the groom, toasting and drinking with the group of people, while Secretary Lin on the side was also given a lot of alcohol.
Mu Rong is now very obedient to his wife. He can't drink much himself, but he and Cheng Zong will go together to murder others.
The person not far away sent everything that happened today to Zhou Xuzhe. Originally, Zhou Xuzhe was going to come, but in the end, he was stopped by Chu Yunyao.
Even now, he still doesn't quite understand what Zhou Xuzhe was thinking. He knew that Chu Yunyao was doing it on purpose, yet he was still willing to do it.
He may have genuinely liked Xing Bei, but in the end, the person he loved was Chu Yunyao.
Xing Bei changed into her toasting attire and came out shortly after.
The toasting dress was custom-made by a master craftsman in Qingyang, commissioned by Ms. Shi.
It was a Chinese cheongsam with exquisite and elegant embroidery. A phoenix was embroidered on the right thigh slit, adorned with tiny diamonds, giving Xing Bei an air of wealth and nobility.
She and Lu Runxu went from table to table toasting, but at the last table they were stopped by Ji Youli and his group. Xing Bei smiled and went to find Chi Qingtang.
Looking at her slender figure, Chi Qingtang teased, "I'm suddenly a little envious of President Lu."
Xing Bei looked at the person surrounded by a group of people: "Today I see that you and Lin Zhuochi seem to have made up. Tell me, what are your thoughts?"
Chi Qingtang looked up and met Lin Zhuochi's gaze. She quickly looked away and said, "We're not a good match."
Xing Bei held her hand: "Tangtang, don't lie to yourself. Sometimes, if you keep lying, you won't be able to tell the difference anymore."
Chi Qingtang remained silent. Her feelings for Lin Zhuochi were complicated, perhaps because she herself was rather awkward.
"Sister Beibei." Cheng Zong finally emerged from the group of people, carrying his things, and came over. "Happy wedding."
Xing Bei looked at him and realized she hadn't seen Chen Qingyan all day: "Why didn't Brother Qingyan come today?"
Cheng Zong also thought that someone might be secretly grieving back home at this moment. He sighed silently in his heart, smiled and shook his head at Xing Bei: "Qingyan can't leave his work, so he specifically asked me to apologize to you properly."
Xing Bei had no doubts: "If I didn't really know that Brother Qingyan was busy with work, I would have thought that he deliberately didn't come."
As expected, Chen Qingyan deliberately didn't come.
It's 5 a.m. in China.
Chen Qingyan stood in front of the hotel's floor-to-ceiling window. The No. 17 Hotel was located in the heart of Xiling, where land was extremely valuable. This single floor-to-ceiling window was enough to overlook most of the city.
The sun slowly rose through the clouds in the east, its orange rays illuminating the handsome and refined profile, like a traditional Chinese ink painting.
He glanced at the group photo on the table out of the corner of his eye, a faint sadness rising in his eyes.
He had promised Xing Bei that he would attend her wedding, but in the end he broke his promise and still didn't have the courage to face it.
A series of messages popped up on his phone, videos and photos sent by Cheng Zongye. He picked up his phone and read them one by one.
Watching the video of the woman in a gorgeous wedding dress, holding flowers, and beaming with happiness, Chen Qingyan unconsciously curled her lips into a smile as well.
Mingzhu, happy marriage.

After a busy day, Xing Bei was exhausted. After washing up, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the soft bed.
Lu Runxu had been given a lot of alcohol by them tonight, and he was a bit dizzy. It was almost midnight when he came out of the bathroom.
Looking at the person already asleep on the bed, a smile spread across his eyes. He gently lifted the blanket and pulled the person into his arms.
Xing Bei had only been asleep for a short while when he disturbed her like this. She groggily opened her eyes, reached out her hand to Lu Runxu, and snuggled into his arms.
Lu Runxu lowered his head and kissed her forehead: "Wife."
"Mmm," Xing Bei responded softly.
"Wife."
We got married.
"Yes, we're married." Xing Bei forced open her tired eyelids and looked at Lu Runxu with eyes full of love. "Lu Runxu, I will make up for every summer I missed."
Lu Runxu smiled and pinched her cheek: "Okay."
From now on, I will have countless springs, summers, autumns, and winters, and I will also welcome countless summers that belong to us.
