Chapter 389 The Secluded Young Master (Part 1/2)

Chapter 389 The Closed-Off Young Master (End) He moved his wide sleeves uncomfortably, but his anticipation of marrying Xi Xi outweighed his discomfort with the unfamiliar clothes.

Uncle Chen carefully straightened his clothes, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

The auspicious time has arrived; firecrackers are going off and drums are beating loudly.

The wedding was conducted strictly in accordance with traditional Chinese etiquette.

When the master of ceremonies shouted for the couple to bow to each other, Gu Yanqing looked at Zi Xi, who was also dressed in red and covered with a red veil, with bright eyes.

He bowed meticulously, his movements even more precise than those of his cousin who had guided him.

Gu Yanqing used a beautiful jade scale to gently lift the large red veil.

He stared at her, mesmerized.

It wasn't until Zi Xi touched him gently, feeling embarrassed, that he realized what was happening. His ears turned slightly red, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

"good!"

The guests cheered and applauded loudly.

Mother Qin sat in the main seat, watching her daughter's grand wedding and looking at her son-in-law, who, though unusual, clearly cherished her daughter.

The Gu family members around her were also offering their sincere blessings, and she kept wiping away tears of joy.

My daughter has found the best home.

During the tea ceremony, Gu Yanqing followed Zi Xi, kneeling stiffly but with utmost seriousness before Qin's mother, offering her fragrant tea and addressing her as "Mother."

When Qin's mother took the teacup, her hands trembled slightly. She responded repeatedly and placed the thick red envelope that she had prepared beforehand into Gu Yanqing's hand.

When it was Gu Yanqing's parents' turn, Zi Xi also knelt down respectfully and clearly called out "Dad" and "Mom".

"Good child, from now on... I'm entrusting Yanqing to you."

This caused Madam Gu to burst into tears instantly. She nodded repeatedly, took his hand, and choked out her words.

The Chinese wedding banquet was lively and filled with blessings.

Although Gu Yanqing was not used to such noise, holding Zixi's hand tightly and feeling the warmth of her palm made him feel that everything was bearable.

He even imitated Zi Xi, occasionally nodding to the relatives who came to offer their congratulations.

After lunch and a short rest, the scene changed to the lakeside lawn of the Gu family's private estate.

This place has been transformed into a dream wedding hall.

A pure white floral archway, and a long carpet covered with white petals.

Zi Xi changed into the white wedding dress that was custom-made by a top international designer.

The enormous skirt was adorned with tiny crystals and pearls, and the long veil trailed on the ground, creating a look that was both simple and extremely luxurious.

Holding a bouquet of white lilies of the valley, she walked slowly toward Gu Yanqing, who was waiting for her under the flower arch, accompanied by her mother.

Gu Yanqing also changed into a perfectly tailored white suit, with a fresh white rose pinned to her chest. She stood tall and had an unparalleled beauty.

He watched as Zi Xi walked towards him step by step, his gaze so focused that it seemed as if the whole world consisted of only her.

The sunlight bathed him in a halo, making him look like a prince straight out of a fairy tale.

Zi Xi's mother solemnly placed her daughter's hand in Gu Yanqing's, her eyes filled with tears, yet carrying the deepest blessings.

Guided by the pastor, the two stood facing each other.

"Mr. Gu Yanqing, are you willing to marry Miss Qin Zixi as your wife?"

"Whether in riches or poverty, in health or sickness, in joy or sorrow, will you love her unconditionally and remain faithful to her forever?"

"I do."

Gu Yanqing looked into Zi Xi's eyes and answered without hesitation in a clear and firm voice.

"Miss Qin Zixi, are you willing to marry Mr. Gu Yanqing as his wife?"

"Whether in riches or poverty, in health or sickness, in joy or sorrow, will you love her unconditionally and remain faithful to her forever?"
