Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

The night is deep.

The villa was quiet after the pre-sleep hustle and bustle, with only the sound of leaves clapping and birds chirping outside the window.

Everyone else was already asleep in their rooms.

Only Han Yue's room was striving to create a new round of beauty; tonight, he greedily wanted more.

The two tirelessly shared their recent longing, promises, and waiting with each other.

In the darkness, people's sensory systems are constantly amplified, allowing them to perceive each other's changes more clearly. Although stars are small, they can still illuminate the entire starry sky, and even the slightest movements can be felt.

The room temperature kept rising.

An hour later, Han Yue carried the exhausted Lan Yunxi to take a shower. Lan Yunxi was limp, her head drooping on his chest.

The refreshed man smiled faintly and said, "Go to sleep. I'll help you wash. Turn off the light."

Lan Yunxi mumbled sleepily, her eyelids drooping. This exercise was really so soothing; she just wanted to sleep afterward, and didn't even want to move her toes. "Oh."

Half an hour later.

Han Yue held Lan Yunxi in his arms like a precious treasure, helped her put on her pajamas, covered her with the blanket, and then lifted the blanket from one side to lie down next to her.

He held the little girl and slept contentedly.

The next morning.

After Han Yue delivered Lan Yunxi and Han Guoguo to the Su family, he turned around and went to the Lu family.

The Su family was very lively and grand today. Su Xue got up early and sat in her room waiting to get her makeup done.

Tang Junyao arrived at the Su family early because she couldn't be a bridesmaid, to accompany Su Xue on her wedding day. Although she couldn't wear a bridesmaid dress, it didn't stop her from seeing Su Xue off.

Every corner of the room exudes an ancient charm. The original large bed has been replaced with an antique bed, with elaborate carvings and lifelike paintings that fully demonstrate the carpenter's dedication and create a beauty that is truly captivating.

The downstairs living room was filled with all sorts of betrothal gifts, and the process was carried out entirely in accordance with ancient customs.

"Oh my god, I feel like I've traveled back in time. This is so ancient! This gift box, this, this..." Han Guoguo walked around the living room.

There were red boxes all around, very exquisite, exuding a festive atmosphere.

I couldn't help but marvel at how special this wedding was.

A man in a gray suit, impeccably pressed, descended the stairs and walked slowly toward Han Guoguo's location. Han Guoguo, who was squatting on the ground looking at the betrothal gifts, did not notice him.

Lan Yunxi greeted him politely, "Hello, Brother Su Yu."

Su Yu, with his hands in his pockets, looked at the person on the ground and politely replied, "Hello, Xiaoxue is upstairs."

The perceptive Lan Yunxi quickly lifted her skirt and ran upstairs, turning around with a smile to glance at the two people in the living room, thinking they were a perfect match.

As Han Guoguo stood up, she was immediately enveloped by Su Yu's figure. She glanced at Su Yu's attire, puzzled. Wasn't it supposed to be an ancient style? "Don't you need to wear any prince's clothing?"

Su Yu supported her shoulder and tucked one side of her hair behind her ear as he answered, "No need, just Xiaoxue and Lu Jinnan will wear them. We'll just wear our usual clothes. My parents will wear more traditional Chinese-style clothes, but not the ancient kind."

"Oh, I see. I thought you would need to wear those princely hats and my mother's hairpins and headdresses."

Han Guoguo was already imagining that scene in her mind, a smile playing on her lips.

Su Yu assumed she was happy and liked it, so he asked, "You like it?"

"No way! I don't like things that are so complicated. I don't plan on having a wedding in the future. I'll keep it as simple as possible."

Han Guoguo shook her head vigorously, indicating her refusal. She genuinely disliked it; it was too much trouble.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

She answered a little shyly, as if they were discussing a wedding. Han Guoguo's face flushed slightly, a touch of girlish awkwardness in her expression. "I'm going upstairs, do you want to come?"

"Together."

As he spoke, Su Yu took her hand. Han Guoguo was shy and hid her hand behind her back. As a result, she blocked the people in front of her but not the people behind her. This scene was seen by Su's mother, who came out of the kitchen, and she couldn't stop smiling.

It seems that after Su Xue's marriage, her son's wedding is not far away.

Entering Su Xue's room, Han Guoguo was shocked again. "My god, Xiao Xue, you've made it look so real! Where did you get this bed? Did you travel back in time and bring it here? Does this mean we can't have any of the traditional wedding games today?"

Since it's from ancient times, it shouldn't be inappropriately combined with modern elements, right?

Tang Junyao had reason to suspect that Han Guoguo wanted to use her hosting skills from last time. There were still many segments she hadn't used, which Han Guoguo had found quite regrettable back then. "Are you planning to use the remaining segments from your previous show?"

"Of course! I was just asking!" Han Guoguo said, touching the carvings on the bed. They were so lifelike. She had thought the mandarin ducks on Tang Junyao's wedding quilt looked real, but she never expected the carvings on this bed to be so exquisite.

After Su Yu went upstairs, he went to his room. The room was full of girls. Now that he had a girlfriend, he needed to be mindful of boundaries and avoid suspicion.

Su Xue rolled her eyes at everyone present. "Are you all appropriate? Today's main character isn't the dressing table or the bed, it's me! I'm right here, am I not prettier than those things?"

She was furious; everyone was busy studying the room.

Lan Yunxi laughed heartily, looking at Su Xue's deliberately angry expression, "Sister Xue, is this headdress heavy? Does your neck hurt?"

Su Xue said to the truth, "It is a bit sour, but there's no way around it, it only happens once in a lifetime. If you're going to be unique, you have to be unique to the end, right?"

Tang Junyao helped her straighten her clothes. "Even if she wanted to back down now, she has nowhere to go. She has to crawl to the end of the path she chose."

Su Xue slapped her best friend, who was telling the truth, and said, "Why are you so annoying?"

The makeup artist and the wedding company staff handed the bridesmaid dresses to several people and told them to put them on.

A dozen minutes later, everyone changed into their bridesmaid dresses. Tang Junyao stood to the side and asked to take a group photo of them. Su Xue disagreed, insisting that Yaoyao must be in the picture, as it was her wedding day and Yaoyao couldn't be missing.

Finally, they asked the makeup artist to help take photos. Tang Junyao sat next to Su Xue, the two holding hands, while the others stood to one side, their hands on their shoulders.

After taking the photos.

Su Xue's bedroom door opened, and a girl with a ponytail rushed in. Before she could even stand properly, she apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I overslept. I forgot I asked to be a bridesmaid today. I thought I was off."

Tang Junyao: "........."

Su Xue: "..............."

Everyone present admired this honest reason.

Several people turned their gazes to the girl who had entered, but Lan Yunxi was the only one they didn't recognize.

Yan Feifei looked up and saw her boss. She greeted him respectfully, "Hello, boss."

Tang Junyao: ".............." This girl is just as Ji Hancheng told her, carrying the Ji family's employee handbook with her wherever she goes.

"Ahem, there aren't any boss ladies here today, just friends who came to see Xiaoxue off at her wedding. It's all the same, relax."

Yan Feifei's eyes lit up as she looked at the room full of beautiful women. She was also very attracted to good looks. "You are all so beautiful. Hello, my name is Yan Feifei. I work at the Ji Group as a receptionist."

Tang Junyao: Actually, the rest is self-explanatory.

Lan Yunxi found her personality easy to get along with. "Hello, my name is Lan Yunxi."

Tang Junyao introduced, "My younger sister, Han..."

Before Tang Junyao could finish her introduction, Han Guoguo interrupted, "We know each other, no need for introductions. She's Yan Zhun's younger sister, Feifei, who's been the same receptionist for ages."

Su Xue stopped them from chatting, "Stop, wait a minute. Could you help me get dressed first, ladies?"

Upon hearing this, no one dared to chat anymore. They all laughed and agreed to help the main character get dressed. Han Guoguo's phone rang. It was a message from Su Yu: "The cup has arrived."

Han Guoguo didn't dare to openly go to Su Yu's room to find him. Today was not the right occasion, so she had to be careful. She replied reservedly, "Keep it for now, and give it to me when you take me home another day."

Su Yu: Okay.

Around 10:30, footsteps came from downstairs, varying in intensity; without asking, it was clear that the wedding procession had arrived.

Lan Yunxi, Han Guoguo, and Yan Feifei all ran to the balcony to look. They saw a luxurious sedan chair downstairs, with 18 men dressed in the uniforms of the Imperial Guards standing on both sides of the chair, each with a light blue scabbard at their waist, and 15 women dressed as dowry maids.

The matchmaker came up and put a red veil over Su Xue's head, then had Lu Jinnan carry her into the sedan chair.

Originally, it should have been the matchmaker who invited Su Xue out of the house and into the sedan chair, with her pregnant and covered by a red veil. However, the entire Lu family requested that this procedure be changed so that Lu Jinnan would come upstairs to carry her.

Tang Junyao watched as her best friend was carried downstairs, her face slowly misting over. She stood alone at the top of the stairs, watching for a long while before finally going downstairs herself.

Xu Mingkai was already waiting downstairs to pick her up. Xu Mingkai had a very important task today because Young Master Ji was going to be the best man, so the task of picking up and protecting the young mistress was entrusted to him.

Before leaving, Young Master Ji instructed that if the young mistress were to bump or fall today, he would be leaving Nanzhou soon—not just soon, but he could be sent there by chartered plane.

"Young Madam, slow down, there's no rush."

Xu Mingkai: The slower the young mistress walks, the more at ease I feel, and the farther I am from South Africa.

"Don't worry, Hancheng is just scaring you. Let's go." Tang Junyao greeted Su Yu, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, with a smile as she ran downstairs, "Brother Su Yu."

Su Yu smiled slightly, his voice still gentle and warm, and said, "Yaoyao, long time no see. How have you been?"

"That's wonderful. I haven't congratulated you and Guoguo yet. I look forward to your wedding." Tang Junyao offered her sincere blessings.

Su Yu smiled slightly, recalling how Guo Guo had looked when she left. "Thank you, I'll let you know later."

"Okay, goodbye Su Yu, I'm going now."

Su Yu reminded him, "Be careful."

"OK."

Xu Mingkai drove very slowly, keeping pace with the sedan chair. When the car and sedan chair were side by side, she saw Ji Hancheng walking beside the sedan chair and clearly saw the man dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Guard. She couldn't help but take out her phone and take several photos of Ji Hancheng.

Looking at Ji Hancheng in the photo, Tang Junyao smiled, planning to take a few more pictures later. This outfit does have a mysterious and imposing feel to it. No wonder Ji Hancheng said three couples were too few; indeed, more ostentation brings more presence.

Su Xue sat in a sedan chair, escorted by a group of imperial guards, on her wedding day. It was a grand and glamorous occasion, the kind of wedding every woman would envy, yearn for, and dream of. Such a wedding was not something that ordinary families could afford, nor was it something that ordinary women could have.

Lu Jinnan, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, rode a brown horse with a glossy coat, leading the way.

The secretaries at Ji Hancheng's company were all tall and of average height, adding another unique feature to today's wedding.

People around stopped in their tracks, stunned by the wedding. Many in the crowd raised their phones to take pictures, praising and admiring the event.

Yan Zhun was seated between Ji Hancheng and Han Yue. He was currently muttering curses under his breath, his face a picture of utter dismay. Yan Zhun had only received his clothes an hour earlier, and at that time he was so shocked that he questioned his existence.

I never dreamed his best man outfit would be like this.

Keep walking forward, Yan Zhun complained, "Couldn't you have sent me a message when you got the clothes? At least let me be mentally prepared."

Ji Hancheng gripped the knife in one hand, bracing himself against it. "You, a doctor, don't even have this much mental preparation?"

Han Yue: "Did you buy your certificate?"

Yan Zhun: "Get lost." They're all so cunning; we're probably not far from breaking off our friendship.

Tang Junyao put away her phone and said to Xu Mingkai in front, "Drive faster, let's stay together. The style of the wedding has changed. Let's go to the wedding venue and wait for them."

"Yes, young mistress."

The wedding was held at the Emperor Hotel.
