In the largest hotel in City A, the entire first to eighth floors were draped in red silk by the Xiao family. The decorations here were all personally designed by Xiao Yuan.
Between a Chinese and Western-style wedding, Xiao Yuan chose the Chinese style, bringing Bai Qingzhi out of her home. This time, he didn't have the same grand ceremony as on their engagement day.
He simply changed the wedding car to an eight-bearer sedan chair, followed by people beating drums and gongs and holding up wedding plaques, while he sat on a tall horse, waiting for his wife.
This time, the Xiao and Bai families directly invited all the media outlets in City A, so the wedding could be covered in its entirety.
Even though Bai Qingzhi already knew it was Chinese style, she was still surprised when she actually saw it.
What moved her was not only that everything inside was arranged by Xiao Yuan himself, but more importantly, that the items displayed inside were not the wedding photos they had taken on the island.
Instead, Xiao Yuan personally drew each and every one of them.
Under the light, the painting exudes an air of happiness.
The process proceeded step by step, and when the two finally met, Bai Qingzhi clearly saw that Xiao Yuan's eyes were red.
In an instant, I felt a pang of sadness, and tears welled up in my eyes.
Under dim lighting, the host recounted how the two met, got to know each other, and fell in love, while behind them, a large screen began playing photos of the two together.
Most of them are of Bai Qingzhi, taken from Xiao Yuan's perspective, and it's clear that most of them were taken secretly.
"Zhizhi is a light in my heart. Some people may think I'm a simp, but I want to say that this person is Bai Qingzhi, the woman I will protect with my life. From the moment I realized my feelings, I told myself that in this life, I only want her."
Xiao Yuan didn't say much, but his tone was firm and powerful, and it resonated throughout the entire venue.
The media cameras below were flashing wildly, and the scene instantly went viral online.
At this moment, Bai Qingzhi could no longer control her tears and looked at Xiao Yuan with a pout.
Madam Bai personally officiated at the wedding, and Old Master Xiao also made it clear that he only recognized Bai Qingzhi as the granddaughter-in-law of the Xiao family.
After the wedding ceremony and the toasts, it was already afternoon. Bai Qingzhi was sent back to her room for a nap. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dark outside.
The banquet at the hotel was still going on. Xiao Yuan was extremely excited today, and even with Xiao Yangjing helping him fend off the drinks, he still ended up being forced to drink quite a bit.
Although the three Bai brothers were somewhat resentful of the pig who had taken advantage of their sister, they still stood up when they saw their brother-in-law being drunk like this.
With the three brothers joining him, Xiao Yuan was finally able to escape.
Missing Bai Qingzhi terribly, Xiao Yuan took advantage of the fact that no one was around to grab him and turned to go to the bedroom.
Bai Qingzhi had just gotten up and changed out of her cumbersome toasting attire. She was looking for a formal dress to wear when she went out later.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Thinking it was her mother or sister, she casually threw on a bathrobe and went over.
"Why are you here?" Bai Qingzhi asked Xiao Yuan curiously.
"I missed you!" Even though Xiao Yuan was a little dizzy, he could still clearly see the childlike beauty.
"Why drink so much! Don't you know how old you are?" Bai Qingzhi said helplessly, then pulled the other person in and turned to pour water.
"Zhizhi..." Xiao Yuan called softly, and then kissed Bai Qingzhi as she turned around.
He reeked of alcohol, and Bai Qingzhi felt as if she were a little drunk.
"I've finally married you." After the kiss, Xiao Yuan rested his head on Bai Qingzhi's shoulder, his words trembling with a sob.
"Yes, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of me from now on, my husband." Bai Qingzhi hugged Xiao Yuan back, her voice not loud, but it went straight into Xiao Yuan's heart.
The banquet outside wasn't over yet. Xiao Yuan gave Bai Qingzhi a big kiss before reluctantly leaving.
The banquet lasted until after midnight, and Xiao Yuan inevitably drank some more alcohol. When he returned to his bedroom, he was walking around in circles.
In the dimly lit room, on the large, bright red bed, Xiao Yuan looked at Bai Qingzhi beneath him, her eyes brimming with tears, and whispered:
"Zhizhi, I love you."
Bamboo shadows sway, and black hair intertwines.
After a busy night, Xiao Yuan was in high spirits the next day, while Bai Qingzhi didn't get up until the afternoon.
When they went downstairs, Xiao Yuan carried her down.
Before the Civil Affairs Bureau closed, the two got their marriage certificate. Looking at their red-background photo, Xiao Yuan grinned foolishly for a long time...
Three months later, when Bai Qingzhi saw that tiny black dot, she was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.
When Xiao Yuan heard that Zhizhi had gone to the hospital because she was feeling unwell, he immediately dropped his international business deal and rushed over.
"Brother Yuan, you're going to be a father." Bai Qingzhi's eyes sparkled.
Xiao Yuan blankly accepted the color photo sheet, staring at the tiny thing the size of a soybean, unsure how to react for a moment.
But he soon found out.
Bai Qingzhi's pregnancy was a major event for both families. Xiao's mother even bought a house next to theirs and moved in with Bai's mother.
Xiao's mother gave her son countless instructions and reminders.
"How did I end up becoming a father?" Xiao Yuan was banished to the study, staring at the ceiling with a sense of utter despair.
He's only been married for three months!
If he had never seen the light, he could have endured the darkness!
As Xiao Yuan counted down the days, the day of his child's birth finally arrived.
It's a son.
"Ugly." Xiao Yuan glanced at her with disdain and went straight to his wife.
He thought that after the baby was born, he could finally be all sweet and loving with his daughter, but he never expected that his wife would forget her husband after having a son and spend all her time around that brat.
Finally, Xiao Yuan couldn't take it anymore and took Bai Qingzhi on a plane in one day.
The destination was the island where he proposed.
Looking at the azure sea, the two leaned against each other as the sun set, casting long shadows on them in the dim light.
"Zhizhi, we'll be together forever, right?"
"If you don't leave me, I will never abandon you."
The End.
