When Yun Xi returned to the living room, she took out her phone to look at the time. There was less than half an hour until the wedding banquet, so she took out her phone and made a call.
“Young Miss, they’re here. We’ll be there in five minutes!” Before she could speak, Xiaoshi’s voice came through the phone.
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, turning around to look at the banquet hall where all the guests were already gathered. She quietly asked, “How many people are there?”
“This is going to be interesting. Mrs. Wang has brought all her brothers, brothers-in-law, and uncles. She has brought all the men in her family. After a rough calculation, there are about seventeen or eighteen of them! They came in two cars. We’re following behind.”
“Alright, be careful.” After hanging up, Yun Xi looked at the time. With so many people here, it seemed like this liveliness could really be stirred up!
Yun Xi stood by the door and looked around. She did not see Han Ming and Qi Yichen. Instead, Qiao Ximin returned to Han Yaotian’s side, and the two of them chatted with the guests as if nothing had happened.
Yun Xi nodded toward Xiaoer, who was at the outermost periphery. Xiaoer saw the time and walked to the entrance outside the banquet hall, nodding to the security guards outside.
The timing was just right. As soon as the banquet started, the guests arrived. It seemed like there was no need for the banquet to begin today. The guests would be full from watching the show.
Jiang Henglin saw that Yun Xi had returned and was about to walk toward her when Chen Yichen pulled him aside by the collar. Before he could react, the emcee’s voice could be heard from the stage. The wedding banquet was about to begin.
On the second floor of the banquet hall, Yun Yuanfeng led Lin Shuhua out of the lounge. As she was pregnant, Yun Yuanfeng was the one attending to the guests the entire time. He only went upstairs to invite her out when the banquet was about to begin.
Yun Xi swept her gaze over the two people who had walked from the lounge to the stairs on the second floor. This was the first time today that she saw Lin Shuhua, the bride. She was wearing a red, high-waisted muslin traditional wedding gown that was embroidered with a dragon and a phoenix. The waistline after her chest was loose, and although it perfectly covered her six-month tummy, anyone could tell that it was a maternity dress.
She probably hadn’t studied how to dress in the traditional gown before. The buttons on the lapels of the gown and the maternity style made her look like a concubine entering the house. No matter her taste and status, it was suitable for her!
Even though she was still beautiful, in this era, it was indeed not something to be happy about to wed for a second time and in a pregnant state.
However, the person involved was too happy to realize the secular world’s views. She wanted to announce it to the world.
Yun Yuanfeng stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor and had yet to walk on the red carpet. He allowed Lin Shuhua to hold his arm as he stood proudly on the high ground, looking down at all the guests in the banquet hall on the first floor. His face was beaming with pride.
Zhao Yumo extricated herself from her circle of friends and walked over to Yun Xi’s side. She shot a glance at Yun Yuanfeng, who was waving at the guests from the stairs on the second floor. She suppressed her laughter and whispered in Yun Xi’s ear.
“Does your father think of himself as the head of the country? He’s even trying to emulate the head of the country and wave at the guests just like how they act when they get off the plane. Look at how hard it is for the guests to hold back their laughter!”
“He’s the groom today. He might only have this chance once in his lifetime. If he doesn’t act ostentatiously, he won’t have another chance!”
“Dear guests, today is the wedding of our groom, Yun Yuanfeng, and the bride, Lin Shuhua. Please welcome the bride and groom…”
The emcee looked at the figures standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor and spoke, silencing the whispers around him. The conversation stopped.
Yun Yuanfeng retracted his hand and turned to look at Lin Shuhua with a smile. He patted her hand on his elbow and was about to lead her down.
