Chapter 450: Chapter 450: Xiao Gets Married First

Just then, Jiang Yan walked in.

Instantly, everyone’s gaze was on him.

The man slightly furrowed his brows, “Why are you all looking at me? I’m not the main character today.”

Wan Muqi said, “But at this moment, you are the main character. Xiao has a task that needs your cooperation.”

Although everyone was quite eager to see it.

But, after all, it was Jiang Yan, so they chickened out a bit.

Lu Ling also felt a bit intimidated, “Um, how about we just forget it?”

Wan Muqi replied, “No need to forget, I believe Ah Yan can handle it.”

Jiang Yan didn’t know what they were talking about.

Until Xiao Si walked up to him.

“What do you want?” The man squinted his eyes at him.

Xiao Si looked at him and said, “Dear Princess, may I hug you?”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present burst into laughter.

Except for the two involved, who couldn’t laugh at all.

And Jiang Yan couldn’t even force a smile, looking completely stunned!

Jiang Yan frowned at him, looked at him like he was an idiot, and said in a deep voice, “Are you out of your mind? What’s gotten into you?”

Xiao Si gritted his teeth and said, “Hurry up, just a hug will do.”

Jiang Yan disdainfully stepped back, “Don’t touch me!”

“…”

“No, for your sister’s wedding, just sacrifice a little with me. Do you think I want to hug you? I’m forced to, otherwise, I wouldn’t be bothered.”

Jiang Yan furrowed his brows tightly and said nothing.

“You two, stop dawdling, Old Gu still needs to look for shoes later.”

Wan Muqi kindly reminded.

“…”

Everyone suppressed their laughter as they watched the two tall men engage in a princess carry.

Xiao Si easily lifted him up.

Both of their faces were dark with embarrassment.

At this point, probably only Su He dared to laugh and speak.

“Not bad, pretty good.” She led in clapping.

Then, the others followed and clapped along.

Lu Ling continued to brace herself and said, “Congratulations to Doctor Xiao for completing the task, now let’s move on to the next stage.”

Although this segment was interesting, it was like poking fun at something very intimidating, so it was somewhat risky, hence the need to proceed to the next task quickly.

“Mr. Gu, you can start looking, the shoes are in this room.”

Gu Beiyan said, “This room is so big, give me a specific location, I don’t want to waste time.”

Lu Ling replied, “Within this area we’re currently in.”

Five minutes later.

Gu Beiyan had searched almost all the possible hiding places for the shoes but still couldn’t find them.

Then Wan Muqi and others also joined in the search.

“Are you sure they’re really hidden here?” Wan Muqi asked.

“Positive.”

Xiao Si looked at Lan Yan and asked, “Xiao Yanyan, tell me, where did you hide them?”

Lan Yan shook her head, “I don’t know.”

Then, Gu Beiyan also looked at Jiang You, who was sitting on the bed, and asked, “Wife, give me a direction.”

Jiang You said apologetically, “Beiyan, I really want you to take me away as soon as possible, but I really don’t know, they didn’t let me know when they hid the shoes.”

“…”

At this point, Wan Muqi glanced at the people present.

Finally, he locked eyes with Su He.

He tugged at Gu Beiyan’s arm and said, “Old Gu, maybe try looking behind your sister-in-law.”

Upon hearing him, Gu Beiyan looked at Su He.

While searching earlier, they indeed hadn’t checked the area where Su He was standing.

Su He calmly looked at the two of them.

Gu Beiyan walked over to where Su He was standing and said, “Sister-in-law, could you please step aside?”

Previously, he used to call her sister-in-law less frequently, so he still felt a bit awkward.

Su He nodded and moved a few steps to the side.

Sure enough, Wan Muqi’s intuition was spot on, the shoes were hidden in the flower basket behind Su He.

Jiang You, seeing him find the shoes, immediately said, “Beiyan, hurry and put them on me, time’s running short.”

Her anxious demeanor made everyone around laugh.

Jing Xuan teased, “Youzi, can’t you be a bit more reserved?”

Jiang You extended her foot and replied, “When it comes to marrying my Beiyan, I can’t be reserved at all.”

Su He said, “You said you were nervous last night; I don’t see you being nervous now.”

“Oh, last night was last night; today is different.”

Then, the newlyweds went downstairs to serve tea to the Old Madam.

After the tea ceremony, they directly left the Jiang Family to head to the wedding venue.

The site for their wedding was again on Chilan Island.

Two hours later, everyone successfully arrived on the island.

The island was decorated everywhere with festive ornaments.

The elders of the Gu Family had arrived earlier and were already waiting.

The couple first served tea to the elders of the Gu Family.

Jiang You held the teacup and first offered it to Old Mr. Gu, “Grandpa, please have tea.”

The elderly man took the teacup and replied with a cheerful smile, “Good, good, Grandpa will drink.”

Afterward, he handed her a big, bulging red envelope, “Thank you, Grandpa.”

Next was the Old Madam of the Gu Family, “Grandma, please have tea.”

The Old Madam had a kind face and replied, “Good, good child, Grandma hopes you two remain happy and loving forever.”

The Old Madam also gave her a separate big red envelope.

“Thank you, Grandma, Beiyan and I will surely always be happy.”

Then came Mr. Gu.

For Jiang You, Mr. Gu had always been a father figure.

After all, from childhood to adulthood, Mr. Gu treated her like his own daughter.

“Dad, please have tea.”

Mr. Gu, with a look of comfort and joy, replied.

Jiang You then added, “Dad, in the future, I’ll bring Beiyan back often to spend time with you, and we’ll give you a chubby grandson to play with.”

In the eyes of the Gu Family, she’s not an outsider; the elders nearly consider her family.

Mr. Gu said thrice, “Good, good, good.”

Mr. Gu’s gift was quite generous, using a red tray with several property deeds, car keys, bank cards, and a document.

“This is Dad’s wedding gift to you, all in your name. If Beiyan ever bullies you, these will be yours alone, not his concern,” Mr. Gu said.

Jiang You blinked her slightly reddened eyes, “Thank you, Dad.”

Since birth, her father had passed away.

She never had the chance to call someone Dad and get a response.

Although she grew up without a father’s companionship, she wasn’t short of paternal love.

So, she really has no regrets.

After serving tea, Jiang You went to change into her wedding dress.

Su He, seeing that it was about time, came in to check on her.

As she entered, she heard Lu Ling saying, “Alright, alright, no more crying, or you’ll ruin your makeup.”

Su He looked at Lan Yan and asked, “What’s wrong with her?”

Lan Yan replied, “After serving tea to the Gu Family elders, she came back here and started crying.”

Su He walked over and patted Jiang You on the shoulder.

Jiang You turned around to hug her, crying even harder, “Wahhh, Sister-in-law～”

“Hmm, I’m here, go ahead.”

“I miss my dad. Although I never met him, I still miss him and wish he could witness my happiest moments.”

Su He didn’t expect her tears were because of this.

For a moment, she didn’t know how to comfort her better.

After thinking for a while, she spoke, “Well, even if dad can’t witness it, he’s definitely watching from somewhere, and he’s surely always protecting you. You’ve managed to resolve so many dangerous situations on your own; it’s not all just luck.”

Jiang You sniffled, looked up at her, and asked, “Can my dad really see me?”

Su He: “If you believe, he can; if you don’t, it doesn’t matter.”

Jiang You pouted, “I believe, but it’s a bit eerie.”

Su He: “…”

“Alright, touch up your makeup, it’s time to go out soon.”

“Oh, okay.”

Jiang You stopped crying just like that.

Lu Ling looked at Su He and said, “Su He, you’re amazing.”

She had tried to comfort her for a long time but to no avail.

At 1:30, the wedding officially started.

Jiang You was led down the red carpet by Jiang Yan, who personally handed her over to Gu Beiyan.

“I’m entrusting her to you, hoping you’ll protect her for a lifetime, just as you promised me.”

Jiang Yan said to Gu Beiyan.

Although they were friends and brothers, that’s precisely why he spoke his mind.

Gu Beiyan held Jiang You’s hand, looked at him, and said, “Rest assured, I won’t let anyone down in my life, especially not her.”

Jiang You also said, “Brother, I trust Beiyan.”

Looking at her in the wedding dress, Jiang Yan felt a deep emotion inside but never expressed it, always preferring actions over words.

“You’re grown up now, already married. You should tone down your carefree nature. But with me, you don’t need to hold back; you can always be yourself.”

Jiang You pouted, filled with emotion, her eyes beginning to redden.

“Brother, I…”

But before she could finish, Jiang Yan interrupted, “Alright, no crying. There are so many people watching below. I may not mind the embarrassment, but I do.”

Jiang You: “…Okay.”

The entire wedding process went smoothly.

After the host announced the banquet, Jiang You went to change into a dress for toasting.

“Finally, I don’t have to wear high heels; I’m exhausted.”

Jiang You sat down on a chair as she entered the dressing room, then took off her high heels.

She wore them only when necessary for work; otherwise, she avoided them.

“Alright, stop dawdling, get up, and change clothes,” Lu Ling said.

Lan Yan also brought the dress she was going to change into.

Jiang You sighed, “Getting married is really tiring.”

Lu Ling said, “It’s only halfway; there’s still the toasting part, which will be even more tiring.”

Hearing this, Jiang You frowned, “Can I skip the toasting?”

Lu Ling helped her take off her veil while saying, “As per the etiquette, you need to go.”

“…”

“Don’t worry, it will be over soon,” Lan Yan comforted her.

Jiang You looked at her and said, “Lan Yan, can you drink? If not, don’t help me refuse drinks later; I can drink myself, so don’t worry about it.”

Lan Yan said, “I can drink, don’t worry. If you don’t want to drink, I can drink for you.”

Jiang You nodded, “Okay, thank you, Lan Yan.”

At this moment, Lu Ling reminded her, “Youzi, I think you should drink less; I’m really worried about your capacity.”

Lan Yan laughed and said, “I’ll keep an eye on her.”

Lu Ling: “With Yan watching, I’m relieved. I’m worried she’ll get drunk and act foolish.”

“After all, today is the most important day of your life; don’t leave any embarrassing moments.”

Jiang You looked at her speechlessly, “Can’t you just wish me well?”

“I’m just giving you a heads-up in advance.”

“…”

After changing, they went out.

Gu Beiyan was waiting for her at the entrance of the banquet.

“How are you, tired?”

Gu Beiyan held her hand, asking softly and warmly.

Jiang You shook her head, smiling, “Not tired.”

Lu Ling and Lan Yan watched from behind, saying nothing.

It was as if she hadn’t been the one complaining about exhaustion earlier.

Gu Beiyan raised his hand and gently touched her head, saying, “Have some food first before going to toast; don’t rush. If you’re tired, sit down and rest. I’ll handle the rest.”

Jiang You: “Okay, I understand.”

Back at the dinner venue, Jiang You went to eat first.

Because she was genuinely hungry.

“Aunt, you’re so beautiful today.”

Su Yimo sat nearby, staring at Jiang You.

Jiang You was still chewing a piece of meat, turned her head to look at him, and used one hand to pinch his little face.

“Are you saying auntie wasn’t pretty before?”

The little guy shook his head and said sweetly, “No, no, baby didn’t mean that. Baby meant today you’re a hundred times more beautiful, you’re glowing.”

Jiang You laughed, “Ha, your mouth is quite sweet.”

“Auntie, I’m not just trying to make you happy; I’m speaking the truth, you know?”

“Auntie knows.”

“Then Auntie, when will I have little cousins?”

Jiang You heard this and tapped his forehead with her finger, “Why do you always think about siblings?”

Su Yimo answered sincerely, “Because I like siblings, but I like sisters more.”

Su He picked him up, “Alright, don’t disturb your aunt while she eats; she’s been hungry for a long time.”

Su Yimo obediently responded with an “Oh.”

“Mommy, I want to go find Yuxuan to play.”

He couldn’t sit still.

Today, Sang Luo also brought Su Yuxuan along, but they sat in different places.

Su He didn’t immediately let him go; there were too many people here.

“Wait for a bit.”

She texted Fei Yue.

Not long after, Fei Yue appeared.

“Young Madam, did you need something?”

“Take Su Yimo to play, just don’t let him run around.”

Although the island’s security system was excellent, she didn’t allow him to roam freely.

Fei Yue nodded, “Okay, I understand, Young Madam.”

Then she looked at Su Yimo, “Little Master, shall we go?”

“Fei Yue, let’s go find Yuxuan first.”

“Okay.”

“…”

The banquet officially ended at five in the afternoon.

By the time all guests were sent off, it was already seven in the evening.

But Wan Muqi and the others all stayed on the island, planning to spend the night here.

At nine in the evening, Long He Song and Jiang Nanche organized a beach barbecue.

Everyone changed into casual clothes and went to the seaside.

A group of men gathered around a table.

“I’m a bit curious, which of you two will get married first?” Gu Beiyan asked Wan Muqi and Xiao Si.

The three married ones sat in one row very consciously.

Lu Zhiyang glanced at the two opposite him, “You don’t need to ask, Xiao will definitely marry first, An Mi is still in school.”

Wan Muqi: “…”
