Chapter 8 - The Wedding

Ai Yue spent half a month leisurely at home. She was very lazy and enjoyed the days when her parents ate and drank by her side and were taken care of.

Being able to be by the side of the person she loved the most every day was simply the best thing.

There were only two days left before her wedding to Shen Yangqing.

Ai Yue couldn't help but worry that Gu Zhicheng was playing with her.

It wasn't that she hadn't contacted Gu Zhicheng before, so he joked, "What? Are you afraid that I won't keep my promise?"

Ai Yue didn't want to admit that she was afraid that Gu Zhicheng wouldn't snatch her away.

"How annoying!"

If Gu Zhicheng was playing a prank on her, she would never have married Shen Yangqing. She would never have done it in her life.

Ding!

A text message appeared on her phone...

On the day of the wedding, the strong festive atmosphere infected the entire Hang City.

"Welcome to the wedding of Mr. Gu Zhicheng and Ms. Ai Yue!"

...

"Let's give the bride a warm round of applause."

...

"The bride and groom can exchange rings now."

...

"Let our most handsome groom kiss the most beautiful bride beside him."

...

"Gu Zhicheng, are you willing to take this woman as your wife and form an engagement with her? In sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, or for any other reason, you would love her, take care of her, respect her, accept her, and be loyal to her until the end of your life?"

The host asked.

"I'm willing."

Gu Zhicheng looked at Ai Yue and replied.

"Ai Yue, do you take this man to be your husband? In sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, or for any other reason, you would love him, take care of him, respect him, accept him, and be loyal to him until the end of your life?"

Ai Yue replied as she looked at Gu Zhicheng, who was dressed in a suit.

"I'm willing."

...

"Please exchange rings."

...

"Let us once again give a warm round of applause to the newlyweds."

...

"I wish you two a hundred years of happiness."

...

The wedding proceeded smoothly amidst everyone's amazement and incredulity.

"Wow, this is too tiring."

After the ceremony, Ai Yue's face froze in the changing room. Her bridesmaid was helping her prepare the dress for the toast.

"Ai Yue! You're too much. You changed the groom at the last minute. You're amazing!"

Lin Mo did not expect that Ai Yue would not marry her beloved Shen Yangqing but instead marry the most favored Second Young Master of the Gu family.

However, thinking about Young Master Gu's style of doing things, she was more or less worried about Ai Yue.

"Why did you marry him so rashly? You don't even know each other. Aren't you joking about your marriage?"

Lin Mo recalled that she had been informed that the wedding had been brought forward by a day. She had rushed back from abroad and only realized that the groom was Gu Zhicheng when she arrived at the wedding venue.

"Sister Lin, don't worry about it. How can I joke about my marriage?"

"Let me tell you, Shen Yangqing is not a good person. I was blind and was deceived by him. Now that I have seen his true colors, it is naturally impossible for me to marry him."

"Since we're going to get married anyway, why don't I find someone with a stronger background, who's more handsome and rich?"

Ai Yue thought that there was no harm in marrying Gu Zhicheng. After all, their marriage was just a bet, and he had no feelings for her.

What she wanted now was a marriage without any emotional ties. The two of them could live together, and with Gu Zhicheng's help, she wanted to dig out Shen Yangqing's true colors.

Some time ago, her private investigator had given him a big surprise. In her previous life, she had been blinded by Shen Yangqing's fake feelings, so she trusted him 100%.

It turned out that her head was already green enough to feed a few lazy sheep.

"Change your clothes first. I'll settle this with you later."

Lin Mo quickly helped Ai Yue change into her toasting outfit. There were still elders waiting outside. Even though her marriage to Gu Zhicheng had come so suddenly, she still had to do it formally.

"This ring is so unique."

Lin Mo suddenly noticed Ai Yue's ring and stopped to take a closer look at it.

"Hmm? Was that so? I didn't even notice."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Ai Yue looked at the diamond ring carefully.

"It seems to be a small animal?"

Ai Yue saw a tail and pointy ears.

"Is it Little Fox?"

Lin Mo felt that she was a little coquettish and clever little fox but with Ai Yue...They were a little compatible.

"Fox? Why did Gu Zhicheng give me a fox?"

"Could this be his show of strength?"

Ai Yue stroked the non-existent stubble on her chin as she pondered over Gu Zhicheng's actions.

"Pfft..."

Mo Lin, who was at the door under Gu Zhicheng's orders to see how long the bride would take, couldn't help but laugh.

He didn't eavesdrop on purpose. He just happened to come over and heard it.

"You!"

Seeing that this person was laughing at them, Lin Mo immediately felt indignant for Ai Yue.

"I'm here to ask how long it will take for our bride."

Suddenly, she saw Ai Yue's bridesmaid up close and found her a little familiar.

"Have we met somewhere before?"

Mo Lin looked at Lin Mo and narrowed his peach-blossom eyes.

"Are you Jia Baoyu?"

This man was so strange that no one had ever seen him before.

"I'm done."

After Ai Yue changed her clothes, she returned to the auditorium with Lin Mo's help.

"Grandpa Gu."

Ai Yue greeted Gu Zhicheng's grandfather graciously.

When she was young, Grandpa Gu always liked to tease her and bring her to their house to see many interesting things.

"Hey, hey, hey, Yue'er, come, come, let me take a look."

A few of them were enjoying themselves while Gu Zhicheng stood at the side like an outsider, toasting while looking at Ai Yue.

Gu Zhicheng had already drunk a little too much, but his raised eyebrows showed that he was in a good mood.

This wedding was only attended by family friends and the closest people. It was low-key like a gathering of the four families.

"Did you drink too much?"

Mo Lin came over to help Gu Zhicheng drink.

"I'll leave this to you. I'll go and see her."

Mo Lin was speechless. He had just come over to be polite, but he had not expected that he would become a drunkard bearer.

"Come, come, come. I'll accompany you to a drink. My good brother has already drunk too much. Let him go."

Mo Lin threw himself into the great cause of drinking for Gu Zhicheng.

As soon as he walked to Ai Yue's side, he heard his grandfather say to Ai Yue.

"In the future, if this brat treats you badly, come and look for Grandpa. See if Grandpa will beat him up."
