Su Liqiang was, obviously, the one who walked Su He down the aisle. When he gave her daughter’s hand away, the stern-looking father was quite reluctant, but he did not have any other choice. All he could do was threaten Ye Yan indignantly. “Treat my daughter well. If I ever find out that you mistreat her even just a little, you’d better watch your back.”
“Dad. Su He did not know whether she should cry or laugh. Who would say something that scary at a wedding?
Looking at his father-in-law, who obviously did not like him, Ye Yan maintained a polite and respectful smile as he firmly said, “You are welcome to supervise me. I will take good care of Xiao Qi and the baby for the rest of their lives.”
“Hmph!” Su Liqiang snorted and retreated to the side. His eyes remained fixed on Ye Yan.
Su Jifeng, who had finally completed his sentence and was released”, was sitting in the first row in front of the hall. He had such a sour look on his face that it was as if someone had force-fed him sour milk. He glared at Ye Yan as if he wanted to skin him alive! This darn brat. How could he marry his baby sister just like this? This was really… Really frustrating!
When Su Jifeng saw Su Liqiang put Su He’s hand into Ye Yan’s hand, his face instantly darkened. He was about to get up, but he was held back by the person sitting beside him.
Su Jifeng glared at his side with his eyes widened. Before he could say anything, he saw his mother giving him a cold glare.
There was still a faint and gentle smile on Jiang Wenfang’s face, yet it made goosebumps break out of Su Jifeng’s back. “Today is your sister’s wedding, Be a proper host to the guests. Don’t be rude, Jifeng.” Her words were like a bucket of cold water that was poured on his head and put out the raging fire inside him. Su Jifeng became dispirited in an instant. He slumped into this chair, looking half-dead.
Melodious music could be heard in every corner of the sacred church, and it was mixed with the solemn and serious question of the priest: “Mr. Ye Yan, do you take Miss Su He as your wife? In good times and bad, in health and in sickness, in happiness and in sorrow, will you love her without reservation, take care of her and love her, never leave her and be faithful to her forever?”
Ye Yan turned his head to look at Su He. He smiled faintly and said, “I do.”
“Ms. Su He, do you take Mr. Ye Yan as your husband? In the future, in good times or bad, in health or in sickness, in happiness or in sorrow, will you love him without reservation, take care of him and love him, never leave him and be faithful to him forever?”
Su He also turned her head to look at Ye Yan. Under Ye Yan’s affectionate gaze, her eyes crinkled, and she uttered two words – “I do.”
“You may now exchange rings.”
Along with the priest’s words, the couple took over the two long-prepared rings from the flower girl’s hand and slipped them onto each other’s ring fingers with faint smiles on their faces.
The bright gleam of the ring and the diamond on the ring, which symbolized eternity, easily attracted the attention of the crowd. However, in the eyes of the newly married couple, no matter how beautiful the diamond ring was, it would never be as attractive as the person standing in front of them.
No one knew who made the move first; perhaps they moved together. The distance between the couple shrank little by little, and, eventually, there was no distance at all.
At the moment their lips touched each other, it was impossible for them to part. Su He’s already very large belly stood between them, though it did not really prevent them from leaning closer to each other. They were leaning so close to each other that their faces were reflected in each other’s eyes. It was as if nothing else could stand between them. Without saying anything more, every one of the relatives and guests sitting on the benches seemed to be infected by their joy as they applauded spontaneously. The loud applause echoed all over the church for a long time, conveying their blessings to the couple.
As a bridesmaid, aside from helping the bride to complete the ceremony, they served another important function, and that was to drink on behalf of the bride and groom during the banquet.
Su He was now in a sensitive state, since she was six months along the way. Even though the wedding was a big event, after completing the basic ceremony, Ye Yan and those of the Su family refused to let her stay at the banquet, since there were a lot of people around. They sent her back to her room earlier.
Without the bride, the groom rightfully became the target of the crowd. There was an endless line of people appraoching to toast to Ye Yan. Ye Yan himself had drunk a lot, and even his groomsmen, including Ling Ran, had drunk a lot as well.
However, the reason why Ling Ran had drunk a lot was not because he had been drinking on behalf of the groom Ye Yan, but on behalf of Li, the silly bridesmaid. It was a banquet without the bride, so those guests who came to toast the bride had to settle for less, and they set their eyes on the groom and the bridesmaids
Although Li was a foodie, something like wine was definitely not included in her list of what she considered as good food.
Li did not like to drink, and she could not hold her liquor well. So, of course, Ling Ran had to drink on her behalf. He had to drink on Ye Yan’s behalf on one side, and Li’s behalf on the other.
After a few rounds, Ling Ran felt that he could not take it anymore!
Compared to Ling Ran’s misery, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were much more relaxed. Since Zhao Youlin had been invited by Su He to be her bridesmaid, how could the possessive Mu Tingfeng not be the best man? The best men and bridesmaids generally had nothing to do with each other, but since Mu Tingfeng was such a jealous man that he could be jealous of a non-living thing for a long time, he would not allow someone else to be the best man who would be partnered with Zhao Youlin, even if it was just a title!
Zhao Youlin would like to take advantage of this opportunity to have a few drinks. After all, Zhao Youlin used to drink a little for fun at dinner gatherings when she was still working as a police officer, but Mu Tingfeng obviously did not think so.
President Mu, who had learned the hard way that alcohol could make one lose his head, was still a little traumatized. He refused to let Zhao Youlin drink in public, even if he was present. Hence, whenever the guests of Su He’s banquets got closer to Zhao Youlin and tried to befriend her by having a drink with her, they would feel a shiver up their spine. When they turned around, they would find a man standing behind them, glaring at them with a beastly gaze, like he was going to tear them apart. Most of the invited guests were elders from different industries. Yet none of them were able to resist Mu Tingfeng’s murderous stare, regardless of whether they were Mu Tingfeng’s elders or peers. They were all defeated, one by one. They would make a U-turn right in front of Zhao Youlin and run to Ling Ran and Li’s side, then smile while toasting Ling Ran.
Ling Ran was speechless. This is unbelievable! Please leave me alone!
Unlike the two doting fathers, the one with a sister complex was feeling gloomy throughout the banquet. Jiang Wenfang, on the contrary, was in high spirits. She was having fun chatting with her famous friends from different industries the entire night. She danced around the banquet hall like a butterfly Anyone could see that she was in a good mood today..
