The Cinnabar Mole of a Beijing Circle Tycoon

Lu Ying said softly, "Yao Yao, thank you for telling me all this. If you hadn't told me, I might never have known."

Lin Huihui yawned slightly, her eyelids drooping. Clutching her rabbit plushie, she mumbled sleepily, "Yingying, you must look beautiful tomorrow and be the most dazzling bride... We'll always be with you..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell into a deep sleep, her little brows relaxed, sleeping very peacefully.

Xiang Yu rubbed her eyes, feeling tired. She pulled the blanket over herself and mumbled, "Go to sleep, go to sleep. I have to get up early to do my makeup tomorrow."

Shen Qingyao gently tucked the blanket around Lu Ying, her eyes tender as water: "Yingying, sleep peacefully, we've got you covered. Tomorrow will definitely be a wonderful day."

Lu Ying nodded, looking at her best friend beside her, a happy smile curving her lips.

At six o'clock in the morning, just as dawn was breaking, several people had already gotten up, put on makeup, and taken photos in their morning robes.

The room was decorated in a warm and festive style, with red and gold balloons, roses covering the headboard, and the character "喜" (happiness) everywhere, exuding sweetness and liveliness.

Lu Ying sat in front of the dressing table wearing a morning robe. The makeup artist was carefully applying makeup to her. The white lace morning robe made her skin look as white as snow, and her eyes were full of gentleness.

Shen Qingyao, Lin Huihui, and Xiang Yu changed into their bridesmaid dresses and came to the room. The dresses were made of light champagne-colored satin, with simple halter styles and knee-length hems. They were gentle yet elegant, neither overshadowing the bride nor lacking in sophistication.

Shen Qingyao's long curly hair was gently styled by the stylist, with a few strands left out to frame her face, making her already gentle temperament even more beautiful and charming.

By nine o'clock in the morning, preparations were complete, and photos of me in my morning robes had been taken.

As the four chatted and laughed, lively sounds gradually came from outside the door. The groom, Gu Xizhou, arrived with a large entourage of groomsmen to pick up the bride.

As bridesmaids, Shen Qingyao and her two companions naturally took on the important task of "testing the door."

Following the pre-arranged schedule, they had the groomsmen sing, play games, and answer some tricky questions about Lu Ying, which brought laughter to everyone in the room.

After the door-blocking phase ended, Gu Xizhou successfully picked up Lu Ying.

He knelt on one knee, put on Lu Ying's wedding shoes, and looked up at his bride with eyes full of tenderness.

Shen Qingyao, Lin Huihui, and Xiang Yu all couldn't help but tear up.

Next came the toasting ceremony by the groom. After the morning's wedding procession, the group headed to the wedding hotel.

Lu Ying's wedding was held in the top-floor ballroom of the Park Hyatt Hotel.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Lu Ying began changing her attire, switching from a traditional Chinese phoenix coronet and embroidered robe to a Western-style wedding dress.

Shen Qingyao stayed by Lu Ying's side the whole time, helping her adjust her dress, reminding her of the details of the process, and waiting with her in the lounge for the ceremony to begin.

Just before the ceremony was about to begin, Shen Qingyao finally met Meng Jiangyu.

Meng Jiangyu originally did not plan to attend, but later attended the wedding because of Shen Qingyao.

He sent a message to Shen Qingyao as soon as he arrived at the wedding venue, and Shen Qingyao immediately came out to find him.

He was dressed in a black suit, his tie was tied perfectly, and his posture was as upright as a pine tree. He stood in the rest area outside the banquet hall, exuding an aura of nobility and aloofness. The moment he saw Shen Qingyao, the room was instantly filled with tenderness.

He walked quickly to her, naturally reached out, and gently tidied the slightly messy stray hairs by her ear. His fingertips inadvertently brushed against her cheek, carrying a faint warmth.

"Why did you come out?" he asked in a low voice.

I want to see you.

"Are you tired?"

Shen Qingyao shook her head, her eyes sparkling with joy: "I'm not tired. Seeing Lu Ying happy makes me especially happy. Besides, I've memorized the whole process, so I won't panic when we get married."

Meng Jiangyu chuckled softly, reached out and took her hand, his fingertips tightly enveloping hers: "Baby, for our wedding, I will hold your hand and walk with you through every step of the ceremony."

"Okay," Shen Qingyao replied. "During the wedding procession just now, Gu Xizhou couldn't find his wedding shoes for ages, it was hilarious! Guess where we put them?"

"I bet you hid inside the bride's dress."

"How did you know?" Shen Qingyao asked, somewhat surprised.

"Because the most dangerous place is the safest place." Meng Jiangyu glanced at his watch. "Honey, I think the wedding is about to start. Lu Ying needs you."

"Okay, I'll get back to work then."

A moment later, the wedding ceremony officially began.

As the lights dimmed and the melodious wedding march began to play, the banquet hall doors slowly opened.

Shen Qingyao, along with her three bridesmaids Xiang Yu and Lin Huihui, walked gracefully down the red carpet, their elegant demeanor and smiling faces drawing all eyes to the bride at the end of the carpet.

Standing on one side of the stage, Shen Qingyao turned around and looked towards the entrance of the red carpet.

Wearing a stunning wedding dress, Lu Ying walked slowly towards the stage, led by her father.

The wedding dress, with its flowing train and studded with tiny rhinestones, shimmered under the lights, making her look like an angel arriving on starlight.

On stage, Gu Xizhou stared intently at her, not moving an inch.

The ceremony proceeded smoothly, with vows, ring exchange, kisses, and speeches from both sets of parents – each step was heartwarming and touching.

During the newlyweds' speech, Lu Ying looked at the man in front of her and said a long string of words, "Gu Xizhou, thank you for reappearing in my life after 13 years."

With tears welling up in his eyes, Gu Xizhou said, "Lu Ying, I love you."

Meng Jiangyu sat in the VIP section, his gaze fixed on Shen Qingyao the entire time.

Seeing her eyes redden with emotion, and her gentle smile, his heart softened even more.

He took out his phone and secretly snapped a picture of her standing to the side of the stage, treasuring it in his album. She was his girl, the bride he was about to protect for the rest of his life.

After the ceremony, the wedding banquet and toasting ceremony will take place.

As a bridesmaid, Shen Qingyao stayed by Lu Ying's side the whole time, helping her hold up her skirt and handing her wine glasses.

Meng Jiangyu watched her from a distance the whole time. Seeing her busy running around, he had the waiter bring her warm water and snacks, so that she wouldn't get hungry or tired.

During the banquet, many business luminaries came forward to exchange pleasantries with Meng Jiangyu, to which he responded briefly, but his gaze never left Shen Qingyao. His blatant favoritism was obvious to everyone present.

When it was time to toast Meng Jiangyu's table, Gu Xizhou smiled and put his arm around Lu Ying. Lu Ying said to Meng Jiangyu, "Thank you for coming today, Mr. Meng. In three months, it will be my turn to drink your and Yao Yao's wedding wine."

Meng Jiangyu stood up, glanced at Shen Qingyao behind the newlyweds, and said with a determined tenderness in his eyes, "Definitely. Please make sure you and your husband are there."

Shen Qingyao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she felt a little shy.

The wedding concluded successfully amidst everyone's laughter and joy.
