Chapter 1426: During the wedding, only love
The bridal convoy slowly moved forward and arrived at Oriental Pearl Tower Phase 5. The convoy members disembarked one by one, forming a long line in front of them, and entered the residential complex. The newlyweds bowed to their father and then headed to the wedding banquet.
After just one round trip, it was already ten o'clock. The Zhuang family arrived at the scene first to receive the guests, and the people in charge of welcoming guests took the guests to the arranged seats.
Seventeen and Kou Quan arrived at the wedding banquet and went to the lounge to touch up their makeup and take a rest.
Fortunately, the wedding ceremony was not held in a church, otherwise it would have been so tiring to rush back and forth.
The small lounge was instantly packed with the groomsmen and bridesmaids, along with the stylists. The makeup artists were touching up each and every one of the brides, ensuring their looks were refined and appropriate. The photographer accompanying the bride and groom also kept busy, capturing the scenes in the room.
Kou Quan kept circling around Shiqi, and seeing how tired she looked, he felt sorry for her.
"Why don't you just lie here for a while?" Kou Quan asked Seventeen.
"No need, aren't you going out?" Seventeen asked him.
"Wait a little longer, let's see if there's anything I can help with here. There are people waiting for us outside." Kou Quan said with a smile. As a groom, he should go out and show his face. Many colleagues from the hospital and his seniors came here for him. How embarrassing it would be for him to stand outside without showing his face.
Seventeen held the bouquet of flowers that symbolized happiness and sat up straight. "What can I do for you? You'd better get out of here. Don't keep hanging around in front of me. I'm tired of seeing you."
"Okay, then I'll go out first." Kou Quan said hesitantly.
Time passed extremely quickly and the wedding banquet began soon. The wedding hall was full of people and all the guests were present.
At 11:30, the wedding ceremony began, and the bustling banquet hall gradually quieted down. The heavy, ornate curtains were drawn, and the lights in the hall gradually dimmed, replaced by blue lights. It felt as if one was immersed in a vast starry sky, a sea of twinkling stars. The vast ceiling resembled a blossoming flower, its center a dazzling, ornate crystal palace lantern. Radiating from the center in all directions was a misty chiffon, its colors gradually changing from light to dark from the center outward.
From the entrance to the banquet hall, a magnificent Roman column led the way, and a red carpet extended to the stage. The floral arrangements throughout the venue were primarily imported pink champagne roses, with gerberas as a secondary color, interspersed with sweetheart grass, and a predominantly large number of phalaenopsis orchids, carnations, and lilies. The warm atmosphere was filled with fragrance, a lingering aroma. Kou Quan had chosen to prioritize pink roses, symbolizing first love and a lifelong love—a sentiment Kou Quan had insisted on.
Seventeen came over holding his father's arm, and Kou Quan greeted him with a smile.
"Dad." Kou Quan shouted.
Zhuang Zhoucheng held Seventeen's hand and placed her in his palm, "I leave my daughter to you." He hoped to say this for the last time.
"Yes, I will take good care of her and not let her suffer any grievances." Kou Quan held Seventeen's hand tightly and responded softly.
Kou Quan and Shiqi walked hand in hand down the long red carpet and into the fragrant flowers. They were wearing beautiful wedding dresses, had delicate faces, and the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. The two of them walked forward hand in hand, making others envious.
After going on stage, Kou Quan turned around and personally lifted up the hem of Seventeen's skirt. Seventeen looked back at him, and they smiled at each other. Kou Quan walked over and tacitly held her fingers.
The whole atmosphere on the stage was warm and happy. Before taking the oath, Kou Quan suddenly took out a long handwritten letter, looked at his wife affectionately while holding the microphone, and read softly:
My lovely wife, please accept this belated confession. Qiqi, you are the brightest light in my life, the very passion and driving force of my existence. For countless days and nights, I've thought of you, yet I dared not tell you. I once believed I would always be watching over you, and that if you only glanced back, I would be filled with joy for eternity. Marrying you was something I never dared dream of. Every day, I dreaded the night, afraid to wake up and realize it was all just a dream. I can't help loving you, and because I can't help myself, I've made so many mistakes...
Kou Quan spoke in a low and slow voice, looking at Seventeen lovingly, with only her in his eyes.
Seventeen's eyes were red. Kou Quan read his first confession of love for a full five minutes, which moved Seventeen to tears.
There were many things she didn't know. She had never known that her brother's love for her was so deep and profound, and that he had endured so much pain of missing her for so many years. Seventeen couldn't stop crying, and before Kou Quan had finished reading, she threw herself at him.
When they met again, she still blamed him for not wanting to face it.
It turned out that he wasn't afraid, nor was he unwilling, but he was afraid, afraid to talk about love again. Because he was too insecure, he would rather approach her with a stranger's face, but after she pushed him away, it was so difficult for him to be willing to face the love that was broken and shattered.
"Brother, brother..."
Kou Quan's voice choked with sobs. He hugged Seventeen who rushed over to him and choked for a long time.
He whispered, "I haven't finished reading it yet. There are many things you don't know yet..."
"Yeah." Seventeen held Kou Quan tightly, and Kou Quan moved away from the microphone. "Then I'll read it to you alone. I've done so many stupid things. It's embarrassing to talk about it in front of so many friends and family, right?"
"Yeah." Seventeen still hugged Kou Quan tightly, breathing.
Kou Quan recited softly, his chin resting on the top of her head. Seventeen listened and shed tears silently.
Kou Quan's letter was finally read, and the emcee continued to preside over the normal wedding, with vows, exchange of rings, and the kiss of love. The whole process was happy and romantic, and the warm tenderness filled the hearts of everyone present, and everyone was moved.
After lunch, Shiqi helped the drunk Kou Quan leave and bumped into Rong Zhen on the way out.
"Mr. Rong?" Seventeen called out in surprise, then looked at the tense people on the other side, "Dad, Xiaohan, what are you doing here?"
Rong Zhen's face was filled with anger, but he suppressed it when he saw Shiqi and Kou Quan.
After a moment of silence, he turned to Seventeen and said, "It was this old man who appeared. That's why I was stopped when I took you to the temple fair and you got separated. But the young man who was harassing you was him!"
Rong Zhen pointed at Xiaohan, his words full of rebuke and anger.
He finally understood. It turned out that Kou Quan had come prepared. He thought that only he knew about it, but it turned out that Kou Quan had known about her movements for a long time. So he was forced to make wedding dresses for others?
Seventeen was stunned. She knew what Rong Zhen was referring to. She glanced at Xiaohan and her father-in-law, then turned to Rong Zhen and said, "This has nothing to do with them. Let's not talk about the past anymore, okay? Mr. Rong is a generous man. He will definitely not embarrass the elderly and children."
Xiaohan secretly stuck out his tongue. He thought, "Isn't it going to make things difficult for the old man and Xiaohan? He's already so old, is he still a child?"
