It was a traditional Chinese wedding. Thus, there was a ceremony to worship the heavens and earth. After all the guests had arrived, Gu Jinglian and Chu He paid their respects in accordance with tradition.
It was the first time Chu He had come into contact with such a traditional wedding and she found it very novel. However, this wedding held more special meaning for Gu Jinglian. He had never thought that he would end up marrying and having children, much less that his wife would be Chu He.
Once upon a time, she was an Interpol officer, while he was a name on the Interpol’s blacklist. They were two people that should never have crossed paths but now their lives were entwined.
On this day, Gu Jinglian appeared to be very happy. Along with Butler Fu, he did not reject any of the guests’ toasts and drank some wine. When everyone was cheering for him to kiss the bride, he did not put on a sullen expression. Instead, he gamely put his hands around Chu He’s waist and gently kissed her ruby red lips.
But that was the furthest he would go!
Chu He also felt that given Gu Jinglian’s style, he was not the sort who would display his affections publicly. But although the man appeared abstinent, he was a very different person during intimate moments in the privacy of the bedroom. But this was not something he treated casually or would display in plain sight of so many people!
Someone hooted, egging him on to go to the bridal chamber.
Gu Jinglian immediately put on a straight face. Although he did not say anything, his attitude was obvious, it was a challenge, daring the person to mess around in the nuptial chamber. Of course, these people were only saying that. Who would really dare to mess around in Gu Jinglian’s wedding chamber!
After the banquet ended, the guests gradually left.
At night, after Gu Jinglian had settled all matters, he returned to the room. Chu He, in her bright red wedding dress, was sitting on the bed with a pair of dolls in her arms. This was a pair of handmade dolls specially ordered by Butler Fu to place on the bed. One was a girl doll and the other was a boy doll, and they symbolized a marriage complete and blessed with sons and daughters!
The girl doll was named Bai Nian, which means “a hundred years”, while the boy doll was named Hao He, which means “harmonious”. Put together, the phrase means a lifetime of harmony! Coupled with the fact that Chu He was pregnant with a pair of twins, this pair of dolls was especially suitable! Chu He liked them so much she couldn’t put them down.
Meng Qingxue was also there, holding Baby Chu in her arms and chatting with Chu He. When she saw Gu Jinglian, she stood up with a smile and said, “Ah, the groom is here! I should be leaving now. I won’t interrupt your wedding night!”
Baby Chu was initially reluctant to leave, until Meng Qingxue whispered something into his ear. When Baby Chu heard it, he instantly grinned and left with her. The two of them exited the room, and Meng Qingxue did not forget to shut the door behind her.
Gu Jinglian turned around and looked at Chu He.
While Chu He was at ease and unrestrained in the presence of guests, but now that she was in the room alone with Gu Jinglian, she actually felt awkward and uneasy.
“Have all the guests… left?”
Gu Jinglian nodded and walked over to sit beside her.
He was wearing a suit, but because it was a Chinese wedding, there was no lack of Chinese elements on the suit. The collar and sleeves had golden embroidery and buttons with dragon and phoenix motifs.
Under the light, the entire room was a scarlet hue. Red curtains, red bed curtains, red window paper cuttings, red bedsheets and blankets…
