Chapter 487 Wedding 6
As soon as Situ Xing finished asking, Gong Tianhao said with a serious expression, “I, Gong Tianhao, take you, Xiao Lingyu, to be my wife, knowing in my heart that you will be my constant friend, my faithful partner in life, and my one true love. But…”
Hearing the word “But”, Situ Xing’s heart almost jumped out of his chest.
He knew that his boss was different, but even during his wedding, he had to take the alternative path. Normally, people only answered with ‘I do’.
But his Boss…
Gong Tianhao continued, “I will only let my wife, Xiao Lingyu, enjoy wealth and peace. I will not let her be poor or in adversity. “If someone bullies her, I will definitely help her bully them back. I will turn the world upside down to please her!
“She will only have happiness by my side!”
Situ Xing, “…”
As expected, he did not walk the usual path.
Everyone, “…”
This man was really too handsome. The man would change the world to please his wife. How manly was that?
Everyone was shocked and moved.
Xiao Lingyu had found a good man to marry.
Gu Ziye and the others were originally worried about Xiao Lingyu’s situation, but after hearing the groom’s oath, their worries disappeared. He must love Xiao Lingyu very much to come up with such a wedding vow. He would protect Xiao Lingyu well.
Xiao Lingyu was very touched. She was so touched that tears flowed down her face.
In her previous life, she was troubled by love. She was hurt by it, and in return, she hurt herself and her family.
In this life, her fate had completely changed.
She took revenge on the scumbag. When she returned home, she even got to know the biological father of her child. She gained love and affection.
At this moment, she understood all of his true feelings and deep affection.
Xiao Lingyu was really touched.
Gong Tianhao had already moved into her heart, but she knew that from now on, her heart would only be occupied by her husband, Gong Tianhao.
“Good!”
Everyone cheered loudly!
Situ Xing’s mouth twitched, then he held the microphone and continued, “Well, the groom’s vows to the bride are really different. Even a man like me can’t help but want to marry him. It’s too emotional. Don’t you think?”
“Haha, Mr. Situ, you do know the groom is a man, right?”
“Mr. Situ, do you plan to steal the groom from the bride?”
Someone joined in the fun and teased Situ Xing.
Situ Xing curled his lips and laughed loudly, saying, “Do you think it’s possible for me to snatch the husband from the bride?”
“Haha, of course not.” Everyone laughed.
“Alright, let’s get back to business.” Situ Xing raised his hand to stop the lively scene.
Situ Xing said, “The groom has given his Vows. Now, we’ll proceed with the bride.”
Then, Situ Xing asked seriously, “Xiao Lingyu, do you take Gong Tianhao to be your wedded husband to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health and forsaking all others, be faithful only to him so long as you both shall live?
The bride answered seriously, “I do!”
Situ Xing immediately smiled and said, “That’s right. That is how things should normally go.” Then, Situ Xing continued, “Let’s invite the bride and groom to exchange rings.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lulu and Rourou in pink princess dresses appeared, and each carried a small tray with a red jewelry box on it. They walked up to the bride and groom.
Gong Tianhao opened the jewelry box from Lulu’s tray. Inside was a sparkling, plain, and luxurious ring. The rings were custom-made and had their initials on them.
He put the ring on Xiao Lingyu’s finger.
Xiao Lingyu put the other ring on Gong Tianhao’s finger.
“I declare you husband and wife! You can now kiss the bride!” Situ Xing shouted.
“Kiss!”
“Kiss!”
All the guests were cheering.
Gong Tianhao curled his lips, and his face was full of tenderness. He lowered his head slightly and kissed her smooth forehead first.
At this moment, a rain of petals fell from the sky.
The petals fell directly on the bride and groom. It was like a dream and a fantasy. It was simply beautiful.
After Gong Tianhao kissed her forehead, he gently kissed her cheek. Then, he looked deeply at her red lips.
However, the villagers were quite conservative. This segment was both curious and exciting. They wanted to see it but were too embarrassed to do so.
However, when they saw the children staring, they immediately went forward to cover their eyes. It was better for the children not to see such a scene.
As for the adults, some of them were too embarrassed to look, but they secretly covered their eyes and peeked through the gaps between their fingers. Even so, they were still blushing from watching
They wondered why there would be public kissing at this western wedding.
Fortunately, Gong Tianhao understood the conservative culture and didn’t kiss for long, or else the guests might be too embarrassed to stay.
Situ Xing added, “Wow, the groom is really passionate about the bride! Let’s give him a round of applause!”
Then, a thunderous sound echoed throughout the entire venue.
After this wedding process was over, it was time to eat.
There were many guests, including the villagers, the relatives, and friends. That would require at least 30 to 40 tables.
There was no way the ancestral hall could fit so many tables, so they could only place the tables outside the ancestral hall.
The space outside the ancestral hall was big, so it could fit a lot of tables.
Gu Ziye and the other three were still quite curious about eating in the ancestral hall.
The Xiao family had asked the Gu family hotel to contract the dishes for today.
Originally, the Gu Family Hotel didn’t provide buffet services in the countryside, but with Gu Ziye’s friendship with the Xiao family, he agreed to it without a second thought.
The food delivered was high in quantity and quality.
They had eaten many meals Mother Xiao had prepared for them. Plus, he still wanted cooperation with Xiao Lingyu. If he denied the request, Xiao Lingyu might stop cooperating with the Gu Family Hotel. It would be a huge loss.
“Ye, all the dishes today are sent over from your hotel?” Qian Yifan and the others were arranged by the Xiao family to sit at a round table in the ancestral hall.
Gu Ziye shook his head and said, “No. We only cooked eight of the dishes.”
“Eight dishes?” Qian Yifan frowned and said with confusion, “I heard that there have to be at least nine dishes on the banquet table in the countryside!”
The Xiao Family would follow that tradition too.
Gu Ziye shook his head and said, “It’s not like that. Our hotel has only prepared eight of the dishes because I heard Auntie would cook a few dishes herself. There should be a total of twelve dishes!”
“Ye, will Auntie be cooking? For real?” Zheng Haiyang’s eyes immediately lit up.
Gu Ziye nodded and said, “That’s true. I heard that Auntie plans to cook all the dishes for the banquet, but it’s her daughter’s wedding. She doesn’t have so much time to cook, so she only plans to cook three or four dishes.”
Qian Yifan nodded and said, “That’s true.” Mother Xiao was already busy, but she now also needed to cook for the banquet.
Yuan Xuanhao laughed and said, “I think it’s worth it to attend the wedding if we have the chance to taste Auntie’s cooking.”
The other three, “…”
What about the bride and groom?
Of course, they wouldn’t admit that they were also excited when they heard that Auntie Xiao was also cooking some of the dishes.
While they were chatting, firecrackers were set up outside. Then, someone said loudly, “It’s time for Bao Li.”
Bao Li means gift presentation.
When the four heard this, they looked at each other in dismay.
“What is a Bao Li?” Qian Yifan asked.
Zheng Haiyang said hesitantly, “I think I’ve heard of this before. It’s a countryside culture. People will present the gifts to the host, and then the host will jot down the amount. In the future, the host will present back the same amount at the guest’s future banquets.”
“So that’s what a Bao Li is.” The other three nodded in understanding.
“Then should I give the angpao I prepared to Xiao Lingyu directly or give it to the person at the Bao Li table?” Yuan Xuanhao asked in confusion.
The other three immediately fell silent.
They didn’t know either.
“How about this? Let’s go and ask,” Qian Yifan suggested.
“Ask who?” Gu Ziye asked.
“Who else? Of course, it’s the people who attend the wedding with us, like Grandma Song and the others,” Yuan Xuanhao suggested.
“Oh, right!” Zheng Haiyang and the others agreed.
They couldn’t be blamed for not knowing.
With their status, they really hadn’t attended many rural banquets.
Not long after, Gu Ziye, who had gone to ask questions, returned. Gu Ziye said, “Grandma Song said that we should just hand our angpaos to the Bao Li people.”
The three of them nodded.
Then, they went to the Bao Li counter. Many people crowded there.
The four of them thought about it and decided to come back later.
When they saw the gift list, they were quite speechless.
‘Why is the amount so low? It’s only 20s and 305…’
They couldn’t help but feel the angpao in their pockets. The angpao contained 16,888 RMB.
