Fu Sinian was wearing a well-tailored black suit and standing on the other side. Even though he looked calm as usual, his palms inevitably sweated a little.
Yu Manxi lowered her eyes slightly. She was beautiful to begin with, and even though she was nervous, she still exuded a hint of flamboyance from her bones. Even though she was wearing a white veil, people could still see her charm.
Ning Tao handed her hand to Fu Sinian. Under the witness of their relatives and friends, the two of them made a lifelong vow.
âNow, the groom may kiss the brideâ¦â The priest smiled.
The two of them had just exchanged rings. Fu Sinian gently rubbed Yu Manxiâs fingers and slowly approached her. He bent downâ¦
âVeilâ¦â
The two of them had been married for half a year, but now that they were kissing in front of so many relatives and friends, Yu Manxi couldnât help blushing, and her heart palpitated.
âWhat?â Fu Sinian had already leaned over. The tip of his nose brushed past the white gauze and gently rubbed against hers.
Their breaths were warm and passionate. Everyoneâs eyes were full of envy.
Fu Chen glanced at Song Fengwan, who was sitting not far away and taking photos with her phone.?Why is this girl so excited about other people getting married?
âGroom, you have to lift the veil,â the priest reminded softly.
Actually, he could have lifted it just now. But no matter how he reminded him, the groom seemed not to hear him.
âI know.â Fu Sinian suppressed his voice and slowly approached Yu Manxiâs lips.
He considerately avoided the lipstick on her lips and kissed her gentlyâ¦
Through the thin veil, this kiss was gentle and devout.
âYouâre too beautiful today. I donât want anyone else to see you. Youâre so beautiful that I want to hide you.â
His voice was hoarse and low but also wrapped in a layer of gentleness.
Duan Linbai was dissatisfied.
âFu Sinian, how can you kiss like that?! Itâs not satisfying!â
Only he would dare to shout so loudly. If it were anyone else, Fu Sinian would definitely bear a grudge against them.
Meanwhile, Fu Sinian had already pulled away. At this moment, Yu Manxi lifted her veil, leaned forward, and kissed the corner of his lips. âBut I want everyone to know what a beautiful bride youâve marriedâ¦â
A burst of cheers instantly broke out.
Actually, there was another segment in betweenâthe so-called true love confession or Fu Sinianâs touching declaration. Fu Sinian directly crossed it out. The reason was: âItâs a big day. No one is allowed to make my wife cry.â
At the time, the priest had thought that the groom didnât talk or smile on his wedding day. Perhaps he was dissatisfied with something? Now, he felt that the groom doted on the bride too much.
At the side, Fu Chen said quietly, âDonât you think his face is too scary for a true love confession?â
The priest was dumbfounded.?Third Master Fu makes sense.
After the wedding ended, it was time to throw the bouquet. Song Fengwan wanted to join in the fun, but Qiao Aiyun stopped her.
âYouâre just a young lady who isnât even twenty yet. Why are you snatching the bridal bouquet with others? Are you afraid that others wonât know that you want to get married?â
Song Fengwan blushed. She just wanted to join in the fun.
There were no media outlets present at the wedding, but the photos were still posted sparsely online, and there were also news reports. The He family members, who could only see the news, naturally had a different feeling in their hearts.

After the ceremony ended, the sky gradually darkened, and everyone started to sit down.
Some people who didnât attend the ceremony outdoors had already taken their seats. The Jing family members were sitting at the northernmost table. Everyone sat down one after another, and very few people noticed the situation in the corner.
At the Fu familyâs wedding reception, even though the Jing family usually went out in a high-profile manner, they wouldnât steal the limelight at this time. Only a few Beijing opera fans recognized Sheng Aiyi and came over to ask for her autograph.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Because the big shot of the Jing family was sitting here, everyone had to think twice about what to say to her.
After all, in the Beijing opera circle, this big shot was notorious for doting on his wife and tormenting his son. He was very impressive.
In the past, whenever Sheng Aiyi was on stage, this big shot would always occupy the best audience seats. All kinds of flower baskets and so on were nothing difficult for him. Some people even said that Sheng Aiyi was forcefully hyped by the Jing familyâ¦
The big shot of the Jing family didnât care about this and only said one sentence. âWhat does me supporting my wife have to do with you?â
Yes, her husband was willing to support her and dote on her. What did it have to do with others? But there were many people who were jealous at the time.
âAiyi, look at how busy I am. I didnât even have time to greet you.â Old Madam Fu was dressed exceptionally festive today. She was wearing bright red satin with clusters of dark flowers.
âThe wedding is too lively. Donât just be busy. You have to take care of your health.â Sheng Aiyi saw Old Madam Fu coming over and immediately stood up. âYour granddaughter-in-law is very beautiful.â
âThank youâ¦â Old Madam Fu didnât stand on ceremony. She was in a good mood, so she accepted all the praises.
âSinian is married. You should be worried about Fu Chen next, right?â The children in the family had all reached the age of marriage, so it was inevitable that they would discuss this.
âOh, thereâs no hurry. Children have their own blessings. Why worry so much? I just want Little Yu to give me a cute great-granddaughter now, and my life will be complete.â
âYou will definitely get what you want.â Sheng Aiyi smiled.
But she started to have doubts in her heart. They were close, and Old Madam Fu was already in her eighties. In the past, she had often said in front of her that she wanted to see Fu Chen get married and have a family. This way, she would be able to leave in peace. But now, she was actually not worried at all?
Moreover, when she mentioned Fu Chenâs marriage, she smiled.
Fu Chen is most likely taken, but he hasnât announced it to the public.
âAlright, please enjoy yourselves!â Old Madam Fu walked to another table.

Jing Hanchuan had watched the ceremony outside and had a small gathering with Fu Chen and the others. When the reception was about to start, he went to take his seat. There were only three people at the huge table.
As soon as he sat down, he noticed his motherâs strange expression.
She was staring at him as if he was a commodity waiting to be sold.
âMom?â
âHanchuan, tell me honestly. Have you ever had a girlfriend behind my back?â
Jing Hanchuan took a sip of tea. âNo.â
âYouâre so handsome, yet no young lady likes you? Young ladies nowadays really have high standards.â
Jing Hanchuan smiled bitterly. It isnât about my looks but my family background.
âIâm not asking you to get married and start a family. After all, your views now are different from back then. Itâs normal for people in their thirties to get married. But itâs time for you to go out and meet people. Donât wait until youâre in your thirties or forties and not even touch a girlâs hand. This is too unreasonableâ¦â
Before Jing Hanchuan could speak, he heard a sneer from behind him.
He turned around and saw Xu Yao standing behind him.
âYou areâ¦â Sheng Aiyi leaned her elbow on her husbandâs shoulder. âHe looks familiar.â
âHello, Uncle, Aunt. Iâm Xu Yao from Lingnan!â Xu Yao introduced himself!
The Jing family members suddenly understoodâ¦
The two families had always minded their own business. If Jing Hanchuan hadnât smashed that personâs head more than twenty years ago, they probably wouldnât have had any interactions for several lifetimes. So it was normal not to know each other.
The big shot of the Jing family reached out his hand and stroked his mustache. âYou were also there when your family went to my house back then.â
âUncle, you have a good memory.â
âYes, you cried until your snot was about to fall. I was very impressed.â
Xu Yao was dumbfounded.
Jing Hanchuan coughed twice, holding back his laughter.
Fu Chen saw them meeting from afar. He didnât know what they said, but Young Master Xuâs face immediately darkened.
âWhich family is he from? Why did your family arrange for him to be there?â Duan Linbai asked Fu Chen curiously.
âThe Xu family of Lingnan!â
Duan Linbai was drinking water and almost spat it out.?Isnât this causing trouble? Arenât they afraid that these two families will ruin the wedding reception?
