Chapter 1066: The Wedding Ceremony—Serving The Humble Pie (1)
The merry procession went on from 3:30pm to 4:30pm. The folks had sent Qin Yirou off to Ge Junjian"s house with kind enthusiasm and warmth.
The trip from Zhang Meihua"s house in Xinjiang Town to Ge Junjian"s house was only a formality. The bride would usually stay in the groom"s place upon being sent off and the two of them would go to the hotel at night.
Before going to the hotel, though, the bride would usually have changed out of the thick and heavy white wedding gown.
Once Qin Yirou arrived in Ge Junjian"s house and was done with the formality, she took off said big and bulky white wedding dress and put on a radiant red qipao that she would wear to the wedding reception.
The bright red qipao was adorned with a sense of traditional charm. Qin Yirou was already slim in figure, a good match for the qipao as its elegance and charm were usually best portrayed in women with exceptional proportions. The qipao looked just right on Qin Yirou.
Yun Jian did not accompany Qin Yirou at Ge Junjian"s house but had gone straight to the Crystal Rhythm Hotel.
Qin Yirou had only gone to Ge Junjian"s place for formality"s sake. Once that was done, the main wedding reception would be held in the Crystal Rhythm Hotel.
More often than not, guests would arrive in the Crystal Rhythm Hotel and help themselves with the food served before the bride and groom came in together. The wedding ceremony would then be carried out before they went around giving toasts to the guests.
Civet was sent by Yun Jian to stay around Qin Yirou. The latter had makeup on her and it would slide or melt off anytime, so Civet being around her could touch it up when necessary.
Yun Jian and Si Yi took Ya Dang"s sports car to go back to Longmen City with Si Yi driving. Once they returned, Si Yi parked the car in front of the Crystal Rhythm Hotel.
Yun Jian opened the car door only to see three people once she got out of the vehicle. Qing You was walking to her pinning Gu Nian down while Yun Yi followed beside her.
"Be still!" Qing You grumbled as she kept Gu Nian pinned and even patted the latter"s stubborn, squirming body.
"Alright, alright!" Gu Nian pouted and wriggled again before she went silent.
Ever since Gu Nian failed a.s.sa.s.sinating Yun Jian the last time, she had been held captive by Qing You. Actually, instead of that, it was more like she had been staying in Qing You"s home and keeping her company.
It was Qin Yirou"s wedding today, so Qing You had brought Gu Nian out to attend the wedding together.
"Sister Jian!" Qing You came to face Yun Jian and greeted her once she was done holding Gu Nian who had struggled still.
"Mn." Yun Jian smiled with her eyes before glancing at Yun Yi.
"Ge," she greeted. The young man hummed his reply.
The few of them made their way into the Crystal Rhythm Hotel but as they came to the entrance, Yun Yi had dragged Si Yi away with a grin. It was because there were still places in need of decoration in the wedding venue and the guests were arriving soon; Yun Yi was unable to finish it alone, so he dragged Si Yi with him.
Yun Jian did not know what Yun Yi had whispered to Si Yi either. They were farther away and it was not like she could hear from a far distance. She only saw Yun Yi inching close and speaking into Si Yi"s ear before the latter looked at her with a smirk and left with Yun Yi willingly.
While Yun Yi dragged Si Yi away to help and Yun Jian was going to step into the Crystal Rhythm Hotel, a familiar voice of a woman rang behind her.
"Yun Zhu"s sister!"
Yun Jian did not have to turn around to know who it was but she turned anyway. Ms. Lu, together with her husband and son, were staring back at her standing not too far away.
