Marriage is long and desires are strong

Jiang Wei smiled as Qin Xiaoye caught her and carried her directly to the hotel suite, placing her in front of the vanity mirror.

Jiang Wei needs to change her dress and hair accessories. She will then follow Lu Hui and Shi Yun to meet Lu's uncles, relatives, and friends.

After that, everyone will know that Jiang Wei is the daughter of the Lu family.

Jiang Wei and Qin Xiaoye chatted and joked around while changing into their dresses. Qin Xiaoye would lift her up from time to time, help her with the zippers, and put on her skirt.

The makeup artist and costume designer next to them secretly covered their mouths and laughed; this young couple was so sweet.

After Jiang Wei changed into her gown and stood in front of the mirror, the pure white, simple, and elegant dress made her look dignified and charming.

The black suit Qin Xiaoye was wearing made it look like a wedding ceremony.

They match perfectly.

Jiang Wei suspected that Qin Xiaoye did it on purpose. When they walked around outside, it would be hard not to tell that the two were a couple, especially since they were wearing wedding rings.

In order to avoid attracting attention at the family reunion banquet, Qin Xiaoye deliberately hid in the shadows and did not come out in the open.

Jiang Wei, dressed in a white gown, smiled and said, "Then I'll go to the banquet hall first to be with my parents and brother."

Qin Xiaoye leaned against the door, his gaze fixed on her: "Mm."

Jiang Wei walked to the suite's door, suddenly lifted her skirt, turned around, and rushed towards Qin Xiaoye. Qin Xiaoye gently slid his hand across her waist, supporting her, and smiled, "What's wrong, can't bear to part with me?"

Jiang Wei: "Qin Xiaoye, are you afraid your appearance will ruin my family reunion banquet?"

Qin Xiaoye chuckled softly, "Mm."

Both the Qin and Lu families are well-known prominent families in Beijing. Qin Xiaoye hadn't deliberately hidden his marriage to Jiang Wei before, so some people must have already dug it up.

However, he didn't want his marriage to Jiang Wei to affect the family reunion banquet.

Jiang Wei should have been the home team.

Although he desperately wanted to take this opportunity to assert sovereignty.

However, he must prioritize Jiang Wei and consider her needs.

Jiang Wei gently brushed her lips against Qin Xiaoye's lips: "It's okay. You should go too."

Her soft, sweet breath rushed into Qin Xiaoye's nose.

Qin Xiaoye laughed: "Okay, I understand."

Jiang Wei lifted her skirt and ran off happily, then turned around and said, "I'll go first, Mom and Dad are waiting for me."

The white figure shimmered with iridescent light.

Qin Xiaoye smiled and followed slowly.

When he entered the main venue, Jiang Wei was already dressed in a white dress, standing obediently next to Lu Hui and Shi Yun, holding a glass of red wine, chatting with an uncle. She looked very well-behaved, and Lu Ji was also chatting and smiling beside her.

Qin Xiaoye recognized the person as Ye Ke, a well-known consultant in the catering industry. He raised his eyes slightly and realized that the Lu family intended to involve Jiang Wei in the Lu family's operations.

He turned his head and saw Li Si sitting at the restaurant table, drinking his wine in silence, his eyes fixed on Jiang Wei.

Li Si realized someone was watching him. He turned around and saw Qin Xiaoye wearing a black suit, looking calm and aloof. The two looked at each other.

Qin Xiaoye narrowed his eyes and tilted his head slightly.

Li Si downed the wine in his glass in one gulp and then picked up another glass.

Qin Xiaoye's gaze was gloomy.

After Jiang Wei finished talking with Ye Ke, she wanted to go to the window for some fresh air. She originally wanted to look for Qin Xiaoye, but when she turned around, she didn't see him.

Jiang Wei pushed open the banquet hall door and sat in the lounge area by the window, drinking orange juice.

She looked at the shadows of the trees outside the window. The wind kept blowing, and there were clusters of flowers outside, all arranged by Lu Ji, pink tulips.

Lu Ji said the meaning is, "princess."

She smiled and exhaled. Things had changed so quickly this year, one after another flashing before her eyes like flowing water.

Before I knew it, I was here.

Life is truly strange.

Suddenly, a figure appeared before her eyes and sat down in front of her.

Jiang Wei looked up and asked, "Aunt Cui?"

Li Si's mother, Cui Yue.

Jiang Wei still remembers that when the Li family broke off the engagement with her, Li Si was extremely unwilling and kept saying to her, "Weiwei, let's persevere a little longer, please, don't give up."

Jiang Wei originally wanted to persevere a little longer.

Until Cui Yue contacted her.

Cui Yue didn't say a single harsh word; she was kind and gentle throughout. She even ate a meal with her, but Jiang Wei couldn't eat a thing.

Cui Yue spoke softly, entirely for Li Si's future: "Li Si is the eldest son of the Li family. He is to inherit and support the Li family. To develop the Li family, it is not enough for him to do it alone. He needs a wife who is either very good at business or has a family background that can provide him with support."

"Weiwei, I like you very much. But you... also need to think about Li Si's future, don't be a burden to him."

"Love or not love isn't that important. You'll understand later."

"Development and survival are the most important things. We must look forward."

Cui Yue spoke earnestly: "Weiwei, I'm doing this for your own good. You shouldn't bear such a heavy responsibility."

After that meal, Jiang Wei decided to give up.

No matter how hard you try or how good you are, it's useless if a family doesn't welcome you.

No matter how good this man is, it doesn't matter.

If I were to marry into this family, I would definitely suffer mistreatment.

Jiang Wei calmly took a sip of orange juice and smiled, "Aunt Cui, is there something you need?"

Cui Yue smiled and said, "Weiwei, it's been so long! You're so beautiful now."

Jiang Wei: "Yes, being loved makes you more beautiful."

Cui Yue paused for a moment, then smiled, "Yes, you have family who love you. The Lu family finally found their lost daughter, and they are so good to you."

Jiang Wei: "Mm."

Cui Yue: "Weiwei, did you misunderstand me back then? I... actually thought you and Li Si were a good match."

Jiang Wei raised her voice slightly: "Hmm?"

Cui Yue: "I think you and Li Si are childhood sweethearts, you shouldn't be separated."

Jiang Wei stared intently at her, smiling calmly, "Is that so?"

In the shadows of the rest area, Qin Xiaoye gently crushed a cigarette in his hand, but didn't smoke it.

His face was half-lit and half-shadowed by the moonlight, his figure disappearing into the darkness.

His eyes were dark and fierce, like those of a wild wolf, fixed on Jiang Wei and Cui Yue, his breathing deep and heavy.

Seeing that Jiang Wei's expression was indifferent, Cui Yue thought there was hope, and her tone became more cheerful: "Weiwei, I know you and Sisi have a good relationship. I didn't intend to stop you at the time. I just wanted to tell you that relationships need to be supported by reality."

"Now that you're the Lu family's daughter, you should strive for whatever you want. As parents, we admire our children's pursuit of true love."

"Love is incredibly important when you're young. It's the foundation of marriage."

"A marriage without love is not sustainable."

In the shadows, Qin Xiaoye crushed the cigarette with his fingers, the tobacco falling to the ground bit by bit, making his figure even darker.
