At the wedding venue.

Qin Jingxiang smiled like a blooming flower, saying to Ji Baijian, “Congratulation. ”

Ji Baijian’s eyes slightly moved, subtly nodding his head.

His demeanor was the same as before, the same indifference.

It seemed Qin Wenguo had finished his pleasantries with Ji Yunlei, and he turned around to tell his daughter, “Let’s go in.”

Qin Jingxiang slightly smiled, following her father into the banquet hall.

Yin Qin watched Qin Jingxiang’s retreating figure, he turned his head and looked at Ji Baijian, “Did you know her identity before?” Ji Baijian shook his head.

“I thought she was just a rich girl.” Yin Qin murmured.

Ji Baijian had no additional expressions.

Yin Qin thought, apart from Song Zhizhi, other women probably couldn’t get Ji Baijian’s attention.

They continued to stand by Ji Baijian, greeting guests together.

Then, Yin Qin’s phone rang suddenly. He looked at the incoming call, “Hello.”

“Yin Qin, it’s me, Jingxiang.”

“Jing….”

“Hush.” her voice was sweet from the other end, “I’m at the right of the hall waiting for you, come here, don’t let Ji Baijian know.”

Yin Qin turned around to look at Ji Baijian who was still greeting the guests, slowly walking away.

He walked into the lavishly extravagant banquet hall. This place was decorated entirely by Ji Baijian and anyone who walked in would be shocked by how a vast hall had turned into an ocean of flowers.

But at the moment, he had no heart to admire it all, he strided over to meet Qin Jingxiang who was waiting for him there.

Today Qin Jingxiang was wearing a pink princess dress. She was younger than them, because of her high IQ she started college at 16. They met Qin Jingxiang when they were 22, at that time, she was only 18, now she’s only 21. At the moment, wearing that fluffy dress, she seemed just like when she was 18.

She was cold to everyone.

Until, she met Ji Baijian.

Before, she didn’t love to wear dresses, didn’t like to dress up, didn’t like talking to people, but because she liked Ji Baijian, she started to change.

This time they met, she seemed very different from before.

Qin Jingxiang looked at Yin Qin, warmly said, “Over here.”

Yin Qin stood in front of her, asked straightforwardly, “Where have you been these years?

“I’ve been traveling all over the country, to clear my mind. I just returned to the country a few days ago. The moment I came back, I saw that Ji Baijian is getting married. I was… shocked,” Qin Jingxiang murmured, “I thought he’d be alone for the rest of his life.”

“I thought so too, who knows?” Yin Qin shrugged. “Is it an arranged marriage?” Qin Jingxiang asked.

“Not entirely.”

“Hmm?”

“Baijian really likes her.” Yin Qin stated bluntly.

“Song Zhizhi?” Qin Jingxiang asked.

“Yes.”

“Does he… like her?” Qin Jingxiang asked softly, as if to confirm.

“Yes.” Yin Qin nodded confidently.

Qin Jingxiang seemed to pause for a long moment then.

“Love affairs can be complicated,” Yin Qin said, intentionally sighing.

“Is she good?” Qin Jingxiang looked straight at Yin Qin.

“She’s okay. Anyway, she’s just to Baijian’s taste.”

“Is that so?” Qin Jingxiang laughed, her laugh tinged with a touch of desolation.

Yin Qin didn’t know how to comfort her, so he fell silent and didn’t say anything at the moment.

They hadn’t seen each other in 2 years, they felt a bit estranged.

Plus, when Qin Jingxiang was with them, because she was a girl, she wouldn’t have nothing to talk about, so in fact, apart from being general friends, they didn’t have a deep relationship. Otherwise she wouldn’t be such a mystery, they wouldn’t even know that she is the beloved daughter of Qin Wenguo, the head official.

“Can I meet Song Zhizhi?” Qin Jingxiang suddenly asked.

“Huh?”

“I am just curious what on earth about Song Zhizhi would make Ji Baijian like her. Don’t worry, I just want to take a look.”

“Uh…” Yin Qin hesitated.

It might not be a good idea for two rival lovers to meet.

“If it’s inconvenient, never mind.” Qin Jingxiang did’t want to pressure Yin Qin.

Yin Qin said, “The bride will come out later, then you can see her.”

“Hmm.”

“I have to go, feel free to help yourself.”

Qin Jingxiang nodded.

Yin Qin said a few more words, then turned around and left.

Qin Jingxiang just watched Yin Qin’s retreating figure.

Before she came, she thought that Ji Baijian might have been pressured by his family. Even though many news reports stated that they had chosen each other willingly, she did not believe it. She did not think that Ji Baijian would fall in love with any woman. However, Yin Qin’s words just now made her have to admit that Ji Baijian could indeed fall in love with women, with women other than her.

Despite her countless changes over the years, it was all in vain!

In the dressing room, Song Zhizhi had already changed into her clothes.

Sitting under the lights, she was stunningly beautiful.

Even Luo Xiaolang, who seldom praises others, couldn’t help saying, “You look as beautiful as stars.”

In Luo Xiaolang’s eyes, probably only the stars at night are the most beautiful.

After all, in the mountains, only stars can twinkle.

Song Zhizhi was also very satisfied with her wedding dress. However, thinking about the price still caused a sting in her heart.

“It’s time,” a staff member suddenly announced.

Song Zhizhi’s heartbeat accelerated.

A staff member helped Song Zhizhi walk out of the dressing room.

They slowly reached the reception area, into a princess room made of white gauze.

She stood inside.

Soon afterward, she saw her father.

Song Shan was wearing a black suit, his hair neatly combed, standing tall and straight. His deliberate grooming that day made him look much younger.

Even the white hair at his temples had been dealt with.

Song Zhizhi took the initiative to hold onto Song Shan’s arm.

Song Shan turned his head to look at his daughter.

“Dad,” Song Zhizhi called him.

Song Shan smiled kindly, “From now on, you are an adult. You have to learn to take good care of yourself.”

“Okay.”

“Your father is very happy,” Song Shan said, “Seeing that you have such a good marriage, your mother would surely rest in peace.”

“Yes.” Song Zhizhi nodded.

She just nodded.

She was afraid that if she opened her mouth, she would choke up.

Wedding music suddenly played at the venue.

It was somewhat passionate music.

Song Zhizhi looked up and saw Ji Baijian standing in the distance.

From then on, they would be deeply, deeply tied together.

Meanwhile,

The sound of the wedding march echoed through the wedding venue.

The veil on Song Zhizhi’s head was lowered, masking her stunning face.

The veil in front of her was pulled aside by the staff.

Song Zhizhi, supported by her father, took step by step onto the red carpet of the wedding.

The carpet was surrounded by flowers. The whole reception was like a sea of flowers.

The scene was quiet.

The spotlight only shone on Song Zhizhi and her father. All eyes at the wedding were on Song Zhizhi. Her dazzling wedding dress was breathtakingly beautiful.

Finally,

They reached Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian’s eyes were fixed on Song Zhizhi.

His undisguised affection was apparent for all to see.

Song Shan took Ji Baijian’s hand, and slowly placed his daughter’s hand in Ji Baijian’s.

Song Zhizhi looked at her father.

Song Shan said, he seemed to have aged much at that moment, even though he had tried his best to dress up, “Baijian, I’m entrusting my daughter to you.” “You can rest assured, Dad,” Ji Baijian replied with immense respect.

Dad.

An inexplicable warmth spread in her heart. From this point, both of them would call each other’s fathers, ‘Dad.’

This strange feeling was indescribable.

Song Shan nodded slightly and walked down the steps.

Ji Baijian’s eyes returned to Song Zhizhi’s face.

Song Zhizhi also looked back at him.

For a long time.

The priest stood before them and said with a smile, “The auspicious time has arrived, please step forward, bride and groom.”

Ji Baijian held Song Zhizhi’s hand, and they stood together in front of the priest.

“Today, we gather in the presence of God and our guests for the wedding of Mr. Ji Baijian and Miss Song Zhizhi. On this holy occasion, I hope that everyone in attendance could give our newlyweds a warm round of applause,” the pastor solemnly began.

Applause sounded across the room.

Turning to Ji Baijian, the pastor continued, “Mr. Ji Baijian, today is your wedding to Miss Song Zhizhi. Now I formally ask you, and I implore you to respond seriously, are you willing to take Miss Song Zhizhi as your wife? To love her, respect her, cherish her, until death do you part?”

Ji Baijian responded, “I do.”

“Then, Miss Song Zhizhi, are you willing to marry Mr. Ji Baijian, to love him, respect him, cherish him, until death do you part?”

“I do,” Song Zhizhi replied.

“The bride and groom may now exchange rings,” the pastor instructed.

The attendants promptly came forward with two rings.

Ji Baijian picked up the dazzling diamond ring and gently placed it on Song Zhizhi’s slender ring finger.

Subsequently, Song Zhizhi picked up the men’s ring and slipped it onto Ji Baijian’s ring finger.

The couple gazed Into each other’s eyes.

“By the power vested in me by the Lord, I now pronounce you man and wife! The groom may now kiss the bride, ” the pastor announced aloud.

All eyes in the room were on them.

Such a dazzling pair of newlyweds they were.

Ji Baijian lifted the veil from Song Zhizhi’s face.

A smile played at the corner of Song Zhizhi’s lips.

As Ji Baijian looked at her in this moment, his gaze didn’t waver.

Everyone held their breath, wanting to witness the beauty of that moment.

“Are we supposed to wait until tonight?” Song Zhizhi asked in a low voice.

Ji Baijian laughed.

At that moment, he cupped her cheeks in his hands.

Their faces were so close to each other.

Ji Baijian leaned in.

The room erupted into an even more fervent round of applause.

Ji Baijian, this man who never played by conventional rules.

Had previously said they would wait till night.

She knew he wasn’t fond of such public displays of affection, but now, in front of so many guests, he kissed her again.

Even though it was brief, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of water.

He let her go.

The moment he released her, Song Zhizhi could swear she saw Ji Baijian’s ears

nusn req.

The applause continued unabated.

From the darkness, Qin Jingxiang watched intently.

So, it was really true.

It was really true that Ji Baijian liked Song Zhizhi.

Otherwise, how could his gaze be so gentle, so tender?

She had never seen it before.

The wedding ceremony ended.

Song Zhizhi was escorted back to the dressing room to change into her next wedding dress.

The bridesmaids and groomsmen followed suit.

This time, the dress change had to be quick, as it was time for the toasts.

Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi each held a champagne flute, with red-colored drinks poured into their glasses.

The couple went from table to table, offering their gratitude and toasting the guests.

The bridesmaids and groomsmen trailed close behind.

“Zhizhi, you are truly beautiful,” said Wan Quan.

Wan Quan seemed to be full of enthusiasm and was dressed appropriately.

Mu Cidian, sitting next to Wan Quan, seemed to cast a glance at Xin Zaozao.

Xin Zaozao seemed indifferent.

Song Zhizhi replied in a less enthusiastic but courteous tone to Wan Quan,

“Thank you.”

“You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. Baijian is truly lucky,” Wan Quan continued familiarly, “I wonder when our Cidian will find such a lovely and virtuous wife.”

“Didn’t he already have one? It’s just unfortunate that…” Song Zhizhi replied with a light laugh and a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Mu Cidian’s gaze shifted slightly.

Wan Quan appeared to have missed the sarcasm as she continued, “Indeed, Qianyuan was wonderful in every way except… that it didn’t work out because of their incompatible personalities.” Song Zhizhi laughed.

She was never talking about Wu Qianyuan.

She reached out and held Xin Zaozao’s hand, displaying a sense of closeness.

A faint smile appeared on Xin Zaozao’s face.

Song Zhizhi always brought warmth to her.

As for the rest, she had completely let go.

Now, the only thing left was hatred.

But she believed that this hatred would eventually find the best way to vent.

“Thank you all for coming, please enjoy.” Ji Baijian courteously greeted the table of people and walked with Song Zhizhi towards the next table.

One table after another.

Song Zhizhi saw her father.

Her little brother and Wei Ziming were also there.

“Dad.” Song Zhizhi called out to him.

Song Shan smiled and said, “Dad congratulates you.”

“Thank you, dad.” Song Zhizhi replied with a sweet smile.

“Old Song is indeed lucky.” Chu Zhaotian remarked.

At this moment, this table was occupied by the three bigwigs of the Commercial Management institution – Song Shan, Chu Zhaotian, and Qin Wenguo’s families.

Secretary Qian stayed by Ye Taiting’s side. As long as Mr. Ye didn’t show up, he would keep a low profile.

To have such a son-in-law, one can’t help but feel envious. I just wonder if my little girl will ever meet someone as good.”

“Wenguo, you’re being modest. Although your daughter rarely shows herself, everyone knows that she’s extremely intelligent. Now that we’ve seen her, she’s also very pretty. She doesn’t just need a good family, she could even be a princess.”

“Uncle Song is too kind. Jingxiang is just a bit more intelligent than the average person. She’s far inferior to Brother Baijian.” Qin Jingxiang took the initiative to speak.

“Brother Baijian?” Song Shan was surprised.

“Uncle Song may not know this, but when I was abroad, I happened to study at the same university as Brother Baijian and Brother Yin. I got to know them then. They’re older than me, so I address them as brothers.” Qin Jingxiang explained with a bright smile.

Her sweet appearance was indeed very likable to the elderly.

Song Zhizhi was taken aback at that moment.

Abroad, studying.

High IQ

So…

Song Zhizhi turned to look at Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian seemed to feel her gaze, and when he turned back, he nodded slightly as if he understood what she was asking.

So, this cute, soft girl is her love rival.

When she looked at her just now, she thought she was quite pretty, and even took a second look as she hadn’t seen her before.

But at this moment.

She had to admit that she felt a bit upset inside.

“Brother Baijian, Sister Zhizhi, I congratulate you and hope you grow old together.” Qin Jingxiang proactively raised her glass. Ji Baijian didn’t show any appreciation at that moment. He said to her, “Let’s drink together.”

Qin Jingxiang didn’t feel awkward. She smiled sweetly. Song Zhizhi couldn’t help but take another look at her.

Didn’t Ji Baijian say he’s a homebody?

Doesn’t like to talk, doesn’t like to laugh?

No matter how she looked, she couldn’t see any such traits in the Qin Jingxiang in front of her.

“Please forgive any inadequacy in our hosting. Please enjoy.” After finishing the drink, Ji Baijian remained impeccably polite.

Then he took Song Zhizhi to toast at the remaining tables.

After the toasts, it was indeed a very tiring activity.

Ji Baijian led Song Zhizhi and the bridesmaid and best man to sit at the reserved main banquet table.

Song Zhizhi was not hungry.

She hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch, yet she didn’t feel hungry at all.

She wasn’t sure if it was because she was tired, or because her mind was filled with the woman named Qin Jingxiang.

She had no appetite.

Ji Baijian was concerned, “Is the food not to your liking?”

In reality, the dishes were all delicacies, which were very expensive.

Song Zhizhi pursed her lips.

“What do you want to eat? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it for you.” “Who is Qin Jingxiang…” Song Zhizhi looked at Ji Baijian.

Okay, she admitted, she was a little petty.

Suddenly, she felt threatened by this woman.

Yin Qin, who was eating heartily, couldn’t help but “spurt” out his food when he heard this.

Everyone looked at him.

Yin Qin felt a bit awkward.

He quickly wiped his mouth and cleared his table. He had the waitstaff clear away two of the plates in front of him before he joked, “They say a woman’s sixth sense is very strong. This isn’t called strong, this is blatantly like the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang!”

Ji Baijian glared at Yin Qin.

Yin Qin just had the expression of looking forward to a show..
