The day after the wedding, Xia Xiaobing led her R&D team back to their demanding work. As for Lu Zhe, the company's vice president, he was responsible for overseeing the company's daily operations.
The problem is that R&D requires overtime, but regulatory companies don't.
On Saturday morning, after Lu Zhe went to the company to confirm that there were no problems, he left the office and drove alone to the villa more than ten kilometers away.
Tang Qi and Xue Xiaodie were already waiting here.
Xue Xiaodie wore a bridesmaid-style midi dress, looking elegant and beautiful.
Tang Qi, standing beside her, was wearing a pure white wedding dress.
The petite girl in the wedding dress didn't look particularly mature; instead, she resembled a princess straight out of a manga. Although she wasn't sporting the outrageous double ponytail hairstyle tonight, she still exuded the charm of a legitimate Lolita.
The living room of the villa was filled with fresh flowers, like a small garden.
Xue Xiaodie smiled and said, "Now that the groom has finally arrived, I, the emcee, hereby announce that the wedding is about to begin!"
Tang Qi scooped up a handful of flower petals with both hands and tossed them into the air.
Petals drifted down one after another. Before the last petal landed, Tang Qi rushed forward and hugged Lu Zhe as usual.
Xue Xiaodie, standing to the side, was both amused and exasperated: "Wait a minute, the ceremony hasn't reached that point yet. You two need to exchange rings first!"
Tang Qi parted with great reluctance.
Lu Zhe took the ring from Xue Xiaodie's hand and put it on the young lady's finger and on his own.
Xue Xiaodie complained, "The process just doesn't look right. Oh well, as long as the meaning is there, it's fine."
Tang Qi pouted and said, "Exactly! Anyway, nobody's watching, so let's do whatever makes us happy!"
Xue Xiaodie: "Alright, let's simplify the ceremony a bit. Do the newlyweds have anything to say to each other?"
Lu Zhe straightened his collar and said solemnly, "The story of how we first met is absurd. At that time, I always had a sense of unreality and absurdity. But later I gradually understood that what was absurd was not things like rebirth, but that a lovely girl like you actually existed and actually liked me. I am very fortunate about that."
After speaking, Lu Zhe subconsciously glanced at Xue Xiaodie beside him.
Xue Xiaodie smiled and said, "Now, let's invite the bride to speak!"
Tang Qi took a deep breath, her face showing some tension.
Xue Xiaodie teased, "Little Candy, on such an important day, you didn't prepare a speech, did you?"
Tang Qi: "You're talking nonsense! I clearly prepared! Although it was only one sentence, it was very genuine and came from the bottom of my heart!"
Xue Xiaodie nodded: "What was that sentence?"
Tang Qi turned to stare at Lu Zhe, then suddenly couldn't help but laugh and exclaimed, "Black Myth is finally released! Let's play it together!"
"Pfft... Hahahaha!" Xue Xiaodie couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Lu Zhe couldn't help but chuckle, and simply nodded: "Okay, no problem."
Tang Qi: "But before you play the game, you have a task."
Lu Zhe: "What mission?"
Xue Xiaodie stopped laughing and said, "Please have the groom cook. All the ingredients are ready."
Lu Zhe looked at the apron hanging by the kitchen door: "I knew it..."

Lu Zhe prepared a very generous lunch this time, enough to have dinner afterward. As for the free time in between, he spent it playing games with Xiao Cai Tang.
After dinner, Lu Zhe received a call from Xia Xiaobing, and used his tried-and-true excuse of "working overtime" to leave the villa.
He said he was working overtime, but actually he was just accompanying Xia Xiaobing home from get off work.
But after Xia Xiaobing fell asleep, Lu Zhe quietly slipped out again and went to the original rented room.
That is, the place furthest away before I met the three girls.
A tiny single room of only ten square meters.
Lu Zhe opened the door and went in, and saw Xue Xiaodie sitting on the edge of the bed.
She was still wearing the same bridesmaid dress she wore to Tang Qi's 'wedding' today, except that she had tied a layer of pure white veil over her princess braids.
Xue Xiaodie stood up and asked, "Is President Xia already asleep?"
Lu Zhe nodded, his expression somewhat subtle.
So Xue Xiaodie asked again, "Are you unhappy?"
Lu Zhe came up to her, opened his arms and hugged her, whispering, "I always feel like I owe you so much..."
Xue Xiaodie smiled slyly: "It was on purpose! My strategy was to make you feel guilty, winning people over psychologically is the best approach! How about it, wasn't it a great success?"
Lu Zhe nodded, but then shook his head: "Saying that won't lessen my sense of indebtedness."
Xue Xiaodie raised her face and gave her a gentle kiss.
After their lips parted, she whispered with a chuckle in his ear, "Since that's the case, then stop talking nonsense to me and treat me well from now on."
Lu Zhe hugged her tightly.
Nestled in the arms of her beloved, Xue Xiaodie pondered silently.
Xia Xiaobing's wedding was the most open and grand, and now CEO Xia is also a successful businesswoman. The Xiaoqiu speaker became a hit last year, and recently it is said that she is researching a new important product. The company has expanded several times in size, and its valuation has long since exceeded 10 billion...
Although Tang Qi's wedding was a solitary affair, her father's company has been doing quite well in the past two years, steadily expanding and even creating gimmicks like selling clothes in the Metaverse, competing with established e-commerce platforms like Amazon. As a result, President Tang's net worth has continued to rise, and Little Rainbow's allowance has recently become surprisingly generous...
In contrast, Xue Xiaodie knew very well that she still made a living with her skills. Those manuscript fees were earned stroke by stroke. Even this so-called wedding was hard to call a wedding; it was more like a secret rendezvous.
But feeling the warmth of Lu Zhe's embrace, and especially the tenderness with which he stroked her back, Xue Xiaodie felt that at least she hadn't lost.
Lu Zhe said in a low voice, "I will definitely give you a bigger, real wedding in the future."
“Okay, let’s do it in my hometown!” Xue Xiaodie said with a smile, then suddenly leaned back, pulling Lu Zhe down with her.
And behind her was the bed.
The two fell onto the bed.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight, and people under the moonlight are even more beautiful.
