Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Lively Wedding
As the wedding march began.
The door slowly opened, and light shone in through it.
The light shone on the newlyweds.
Make the newlyweds look radiant and happy.
All the guests present applauded.
Applause filled with blessings echoed through the venue.
As the emcee spoke, Xia Chenggan, holding Zhou Ran's hand, slowly walked onto the red carpet.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, they slowly walked towards the stage.
There was already a pastor standing on the stage.
Xia's mother is preparing a Western-style wedding.
She originally planned to have a traditional Chinese wedding.
But the two kids said it was too complicated and that something simpler would be better, so they vetoed it.
As a second choice, we held this traditional Chinese wedding.
He watched as Xia Chenggan approached.
Xia's mother had tears in her eyes.
This child has been cold-hearted and unusually mature since childhood.
Xia's mother was worried that he would marry his job.
Or they might choose not to get married at all.
Xia's mother was particularly troubled.
In addition, she felt guilty towards him when they were children.
Indulge Xia Chenggan more and wait until he has enough power.
Xia's mother often couldn't control Xia Chenggan.
We couldn't influence his decision.
He repeatedly tried to make Xia Chenggan fail at blind dates.
Xia's mother had a wild idea: she planned to have her other children have more grandchildren.
We'll adopt one of them to Xia Chengan so he can take care of it in his old age.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and I suddenly found someone I loved.
Seeing her son find someone he likes filled Xia's mother with joy.
Of course, she had already thought about the children's issue.
IVF, or adoption.
If you really don't want to, it doesn't matter whether you have children or not.
As long as the child is happy, that's all that matters.
Xia's mother wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Xia's father held her hand and said, "Cheer up."
"Yes, I'm very happy!"
Xia Chenggan and Zhou Ran stood in front of the pastor, facing each other.
Listening to the pastor deliver his sermon in English.
Zhou Ran really wanted to clean her ears.
He couldn't understand what the pastor was saying.
Seeing his bewildered expression, Xia Chengan considerately translated for him in a low voice.
"Mr. Zhou Ran, are you willing to let Mr. Xia Chenggan become your husband, to be with him for life, and never be separated from him?"
Zhou Ran realized it was his turn to deliver his lines.
"Yes, I will."
Xia Chenggan repeatedly emphasized certain words, making sure he remembered them.
That was also the only English he learned.
"Mr. Xia Chenggan, are you willing to let Mr. Zhou Ran become your husband, to be with him for life, and never be separated from him?"
"Yes I do!"
Zhou Ran glared at Xia Chenggan. "You're not following the script."
Xia Cheng chuckled dryly and took Zhou Ran's hands in his.
He took the ring and slipped it onto Zhou Ran's finger.
Zhou Ran also slipped the ring onto Xia Chenggan's finger.
The pastor continued, "Now you may gently kiss your groom!"
Xia Chenggan lowered his head, closing the distance between them, and aimed directly at Zhou Ran's lips.
"Are you serious?"
Zhou Ran forced herself not to back away.
This is a bit too intense!
"Of course, there are so many people watching."
Xia Chenggan gripped the back of his neck with his large hand, forcing him to stay in place.
As the two drew closer together.
They could feel each other's breath, which brushed against their faces, causing a slight itch.
"Stop! No, shut up!"
Zhou Ran subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction from which the shout came.
Xia Chenggan turned Zhou Ran's head to the right side, quickened his pace, and kissed her directly.
"I disagree! I disagree with this marriage."
Bodyguards rushed up and dragged the woman away.
They were caught off guard, and some slipped through the net and caused trouble.
The ribbons burst open, and the flowers scattered.
They surrounded Xia Chenggan and Zhou Ran.
Zhou Ran stared wide-eyed at Xia Chenggan. This kid resorted to sneak attacks and had no sense of martial ethics.
Xia Chenggan smiled, his eyes crinkling.
Once the two had some distance between them, Xia Chenggan took Zhou Ran's hand in advance.
She smiled and said it to him.
"I kissed my groom lightly at the wedding ceremony, is there a problem?"
"What we said before didn't include this, but we'll settle the score with you later!"
What others saw was a rain of flowers.
The two grooms gaze at each other happily.
They had eyes only for each other, a love that lasted a lifetime.
"Oh oh oh!"
Cheers and applause rose and fell.
The loudest shouters were Xia Chengping and Fu Xuan.
The wedding proceeded amidst cheers and applause.
The next step is to serve tea to both sets of parents and change their address accordingly.
Zhou Ran wasn't at all uncomfortable with this.
Xia's mother treated him very well, and he could still bring himself to call her "Mom."
Because Zhou Ran doesn't have a mother, and she didn't even invite Zhao Feng, her cheap father.
In this segment, only Xia's father and mother are present.
The two men served tea and called out to the guests, and each of them received a large red envelope.
The red envelope contained a bank card, and Zhou Ran knew without even looking that the amount was no less than seven figures.
After the tea ceremony, various speeches began.
In this segment, Xia Chenggan and Zhou Ran can simply serve as excellent background figures.
The two huddled together and whispered to each other.
Zhou Ran asked, "Who was that just now?"
Xia Chenggan shook his head. "I don't know. They've already had him taken away."
Zhou Ran asked, "How many people did you deploy outside today?"
Xia Chenggan spoke frankly, "It must be at least a few hundred. I can't let our wedding have any problems."
"It seems you've also heard the news that the women who like you have come to cause trouble as a group."
"I have heard some things, but I have also heard that those with grudges have come as well."
This is why Xia Chenggan brought so many people.
"It seems there are quite a few people with ulterior motives; there must be a mole among them."
If no one helps, how did these troublemakers get in with so many people?
"Do you have suspects to choose from?"
Zhou Ran looked toward Fu Xuan's position.
"Fu Xuan? He probably wouldn't. That kid may be silly, but he's not stupid."
“I was referring to his sister,” Zhou Ran added.
"I heard his sister wants to marry you!"
"Yes, but his sister wants to marry me so that our two families can unite through marriage and increase cooperation."
The Fu family is now being extremely cautious and won't easily get involved.
"Then who do you suspect?"
Xia Chenggan looked behind Li Quan.
"Patriarch Li?"
The head of the Li family was sitting right behind Li Quan.
The old man looked refined and serious, with a stern face and wrinkles that screamed "I'm not someone to mess with."
"Why?"
"The Li family has been in some trouble lately, and the Li family is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface."
Xia Chenggan knew these aristocratic families better.
Zhou Ran prefers to solve problems directly.
"Then I'll find someone to teach that old man a lesson."
"OK!"
Zhou Ran glanced at him and said, "If you don't stop me, aren't you afraid I'll attract people I shouldn't mess with?"
Xia Chenggan said with a smile, "You're not such an impulsive person; you value your life more than I do."
"Don't pretend to know me so well!"
"I like you, so of course I want to understand you!"
Zhou Ran looked at him speechlessly.
Xia Chenggan raised his hand to indicate his surrender.
"I know I shouldn't like you, but I can't control my heart! He's madly in love with you!"
Xia Chenggan even exaggeratedly made a big heart shape with his hands over his chest.
Zhou Ran rolled her eyes at him.
"Be serious! If I take this seriously, you'll be in big trouble."
Xia Chenggan smiled happily.
A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
If you hide the truth in a lie, and say it too often, you'll start to think it's a joke.
Xia Chenggan silently tightened his grip on Zhou Ran's hand.
Only when you lose something do you realize how much it matters.
Zhou Ran felt the force in her hand and looked at Xia Chenggan.
He was looking into the distance, as if he was thinking about something.
Since it didn't hurt, Zhou Ran didn't pull her hand away.
The wedding was successfully concluded, and the banquet followed.
The wedding was attended by almost all prominent and influential people from prestigious families.
They came here for two reasons: one was to attend a wedding, and the other was to network.
Xia Chenggan and Zhou Ran went around offering toasts.
After the toasts were finished, the two were finally able to rest for a while.
Zhou Ran returned to the lounge and collapsed onto the sofa.
"Oh dear, getting married is hard work, it's exhausting."
Zhou Ran looked up and saw Xia Chenggan loosening his tie and unbuttoning his collar.
She walked up to him step by step and squatted down.
Zhou Ran quickly moved further inside.
Xia Chenggan laughed, reached out and grabbed his arm, unbuttoning his collar.
"Isn't it tight?"
"fine."
"You can relax for a while, take a shower, change your clothes, and then go downstairs."
The wedding is over, but there's a banquet tonight.
"Oh my, why do you people have so many banquets?"
"In order to socialize, expand one's network, and strengthen relationships, it is also necessary to share information."
Xia Chenggan provided the standard answer.
Zhou Ran asked seriously.
"Can I continue as before and not attend any banquets?"
"Can!"
Xia Chenggan indulged her, saying that with Zhou Ran's abilities, whether she participated or not wouldn't make a difference.
“As Mrs. Xia, you have the ability to make your own choices.”
"Thank you, Mr. Xia!"
After saying that, he closed his eyes to rest, having already announced his official identity to the world.
From now on, those who want Madam Xia's position will have to resort to underhanded tactics to seize it.
He can sit back and wait for someone to take the bait.
Seeing that he was asleep, Xia Chenggan unbuttoned his clothes and covered him with a thin blanket.
He still has things to take care of and can't rest.
Mr. Xia is going to fight.
Xia Chenggan quietly closed the door and left.
Below, people clinked glasses and chatted in small groups, mostly offering praise.
Nobody wants to cause trouble at a time like this.
When Fu Xuan returned from drinking, he found that Fu Ya was gone.
Where is the eldest sister?
"have no idea."
Fu Miao pushed away her mischievous younger brother and was chatting happily with someone.
Fu Xuan went to find Li Quan.
Have you seen my sister?
No! Are you looking for him?
"Hmm, I don't know where they went."
"Nothing should be wrong. Let's go look for it."
Li Quan comforted Fu Xuan, and the two went to find Fu Ya.
Fu Xuan wasn't worried about Fu Ya getting into trouble at the Xia family; he was worried about her causing trouble there.
He knew how much his older sister liked Xia Chenggan.
Xia Chenggan is her idol, her goal, and her ideal partner.
I'm really worried about what she might do.
The door to the lounge opened, and a figure quietly entered, gently closing the door behind them.
Seeing the man sleeping on the sofa, he tiptoed over.
Approaching step by step, moving very gently, as if afraid of waking the person.
He stopped in front of the sofa, staring intently at the sleeping face. Author's Note: Thank you to my mentor 9492239 (9492239) for your support! For more exciting content, please leave a message for this book on Liancheng Reading.
