Chapter 113

The faint morning light painted the sky with rosy hues. Shen Yin and Zhengzheng looked fresh and neat, dressed in matching parent-child outfits.

Xu Xiuhe glanced at their attire and chose a coordinating color himself. As it was Friday, he had taken the day off to attend his good friend's wedding.

The family of three arrived early at the Qingfeng Mingyue Hotel. Xue Jingrui's social status in Rong City ensured that his wedding would be grand. With a mother who was an entrepreneur and a father who held a prominent position in the city government, the wedding guest list included not only business and government figures but also members of the media.

"You go find Shu Yi and Qi Ji first. I'll take Zhengzheng to see Jingrui," Shen Yin said.

"Okay."

Shen Yin obtained Qi Ji's room number from Shu Yi. Since Qi Ji's family lived in Yang City, they didn't have time to travel from home to the wedding venue. Moreover, they had already registered their marriage, so the wedding ceremony was held directly at the hotel.

When Shen Yin reached Qi Ji's room and knocked on the door, Yan Yan answered.

Yan Yan was slightly excited to see Shen Yin; it had been a long time since they last met. She was genuinely grateful to Shen Yin for helping her secure her current job.

Before Yan Yan could speak, Shen Yin said, "I've come to see them."

Qi Ji was having his makeup done by a top makeup artist in the industry. The bridal makeup had to be perfect, tailored to suit Qi Ji's unique style. It wasn't the typical bridal makeup template; at first glance, it seemed almost like a transformation.

"All done. Next, I'll help you into the wedding dress," the makeup artist said.

The wedding dress was also custom-made, designed by a renowned foreign designer. Each gown cost millions, and the veil was a bit long, making it difficult for the makeup artist to handle alone. Seeing this, Shu Yi stepped in to help.

"It looks gorgeous. Today, our darling Qi Ji is the most beautiful in the world," Shu Yi praised.

The pure white wedding dress was truly stunning, and Shu Yi couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy, though Qi Ji seemed indifferent; this was merely a formality for her.

"Thank you, Sister Shu Yi," Qi Ji thanked.

Shu Yi chose the bridesmaids' dresses, opting for the most basic style so as not to outshine the bride.

"It's almost time. Is the bride ready?" someone outside called.

Shu Yi and Shen Yan immediately pulled their skirts to the back.

The cameras clicked, recording this scene.

"The bride and groom exchange rings."

Shu Yi handed over the rings.

Xue Jingrui put the ring on Qi Ji's finger, and Qi Ji also put the ring on Xue Jingrui's finger.

"Next, please let the groom kiss the bride."

Both Xue Jingrui and Qi Ji's hearts skipped a beat, they both forgot about this part. They hadn't even held hands yet, and now they had to kiss in front of so many people.

As time passed, the host felt a bit embarrassed, still wondering why they hadn't kissed yet and how he could salvage the situation. Suddenly, Xue Jingrui lowered his head and whispered, "Is it okay?"

Qi Ji didn't respond.

Xue Jingrui gently held the back of Qi Ji's head and softly kissed her lips.

Qi Ji was bewildered; this was unexpected for her.

Then the host spoke for a long time, and suddenly it was the bridesmaid's turn. He could see it now, the bridesmaid of the bride was actually the currently popular female celebrity.

It was unexpected that such a popular female celebrity would attend the wedding and act as a bridesmaid.

But upon closer thought, it was quite normal. This wedding was unusual, a power couple joining forces. With Shu Yi's appearance, her popularity would rise again, and people in the circle would also know that there was really someone behind Shu Yi.

Shu Yi stepped onto the stage, she had chosen the most ordinary bridesmaid dress, but still couldn't hide her temperament.

"Hello, everyone, I'm very happy to be Qi Ji's bridesmaid at this wedding today. Although I haven't known Qi Ji for long, in my heart, she's like a little princess. She's simple, kind, always thinking of others. She's shy, adorable, always wanting to take responsibility. Today, sending her off, my greatest wish is that in the days to come, there will be someone to love her, cherish her, not let her down, and still treat her like a little princess, making her the only one, being the most carefree little girl."

Qi Ji was very moved because she knew that what Shu Yi said was all true. Shu Yi didn't mention Xue Jingrui throughout, but everywhere she reminded Xue Jingrui to treat her well. Shu Yi knew their relationship with Xue Jingrui, naturally understood that there was no love between them, so the best wishes were all expressed.
