Chapter 1196: Chapter 1196: A Citywide Sensational Grand Fantasy Wedding (Part 4)

Huo Yunjiao held a bridal bouquet of other shore flowers as she stood before Qin Ruan’s room door, with Lu Han, the eldest son of the Lu Family, standing on her left, and Xia Yunchen, looking nervous, on her right. Behind them followed Gongsun Yibo, Long Xinzhao, Gu Mingyan, and others.

Lu Han, with a puzzled expression, asked, "Should we knock on the door?"

Huo Yunjiao pinched the bouquet in her hand, her voice calm and steady, "Knock!"

Before anyone could step forward to knock, the door was opened from the inside.

Song Qing, dressed as a bridesmaid, stood inside the door. Seeing her somewhat tense master and the familiar faces from the past, she kept her expression unchanged with her heavily made-up face and bowed, then stepped aside.

Huo Yunjiao’s tender and deep peach blossom-like eyes met with Qin Ruan, who had sat back on the bed.

Their affectionate gazes collided, and everything around them seemed to vanish. The world could only accommodate the two of them, and everything else quieted down, even the chaotic breathing of the others around them was disregarded.

"My girl, I’ve come to get you."

Huo Yunjiao’s thin lips curved into a gentle arc as she stepped into the room, walking slowly towards his beloved.

This affection had been awaited for too long, it almost felt surreal now.

The always composed and calm Mr. Huo’s handsome face tensed up, the smile tugging at his lips, upon closer inspection, seemed somewhat unnatural.

It would not be quite right to say he was nervous, yet saying he was calm appeared somewhat forced.

As he approached, Qin Ruan’s already beautiful eyes curved into lovely crescent moons, her hands clad in white lace gloves slowly raised.

Huo Yunjiao stood on the carpet strewn with petals by the bed and knelt on one knee at the feet of his beloved, offering the bouquet in his hands.

He repeated, "Aruan, I’m here to marry you."

After a thousand years, our grand wedding has finally arrived.

He wanted to ask, are you happy?

And whether, after regaining her memories, she might regret what she did today.

Qin Ruan, smiling, took the bouquet and brought it to her nose to sniff lightly, her face adorned with delicate makeup blooming into a bright, dazzling smile.

In a barely audible voice, she said, "This is wonderful."

It was unclear whether she meant that the bouquet was really beautiful or that the person who had come to marry her was wonderful.

Qin Ruan’s eyes, slightly downcast, lifted to look at Xia Yunchen standing behind Huo Yunjiao, her gaze tranquil and undisturbed.

She greeted him with a smile, her manner as distant and polite as ever, "Movie Star Xia, long time no see."

Xia Yunchen, suppressing the choke in his throat, composedly said, "Qin Ruan, congratulations."

He had dressed up specially for today, more formally than he ever had for international award ceremonies.

Qin Ruan’s eyes curved into a smile, sizing him up.

With Xia Yunchen having been missing for so long, his demeanor had drastically changed; even his appearance had slightly altered, his every movement exuding a noble and restrained aura, as if he were a different person.

Qin Ruan withdrew her gaze and extended her hand to Huo Yunjiao, kneeling before her.

Their hands clasped together, and Qin Jingcen, seeing this, stepped forward and bent at the waist before Qin Ruan.

His voice was hoarse, filled with reluctance, "Ruanruan, I’ll carry you downstairs."

Before Huo Yunjiao let go of Qin Ruan’s hand, he couldn’t help but lean in to gently kiss her cheek.

Qin Jingcen carried his younger sister, who held a bouquet of Manjusaka flowers, out the room door amid the cheers of the crowd.

Knowing that Qin Ruan was pregnant and her abdomen could not withstand pressure, the elder Qin brother supported her legs with his strong arms, offering protection for her belly conveniently.

Qin Mei followed closely, ready to take over the task of carrying his sister out of the house from his elder brother at any moment.

When they reached the staircase, Qin Jingcen transferred his sister onto his younger brother’s back, and the rest of the journey would be completed by the second Qin brother.

Qin Mei, carrying his sister downstairs steadily, set foot on the carpet of the hall under the watchful eyes of all the guests; he reined in his smile, his eyes reddening.

Even after putting her into the wedding car, the redness in Qin Mei’s eyes did not fade.

Not wanting to cry in front of others, Qin Mei gripped his sister’s hand, biting back the sobs in his throat, "Ruanruan, you must take good care of yourself."

Qin Ruan squeezed his hand and said seriously with pursed lips, "Second brother, today is a very happy day for me; you should be happy for me."

So don’t be sad, don’t be unhappy.

An awkward expression appeared on Qin Mei’s handsome face, and he turned his head to look at the tail of the wedding dress that Song Qing and Huo Zhi were holding as they helped her into the car, his voice hoarse, "Happy, second brother is very happy."

"Shameless." Qin Jingcen kicked his brother lightly, his voice lowered threateningly, "If you dare cry today, I’ll make you cry nonstop for the next month."

The moisture in Qin Mei’s eyes almost retreated instantly; he glared at the elder Qin brother before him, "Which eye of yours saw me crying, tyrant!"

"Both eyes saw!"

The two brothers bantered verbally but stepped aside from the front of the car, allowing Master Huo to smoothly board the wedding car.

The Huo Family’s wedding procession left the Qin Family as grandly as it had arrived.

Hundreds of cars had come from the Qin Family, and nearly a hundred more were added to the procession when they departed, creating a spectacular and awe-inspiring scene.

Huo Yunjiao sat relaxedly in the comfortable sofa inside the car, his arm around Qin Ruan as he gently stroked her swollen belly, his eyes filled with worry, "Are you alright? Did the baby bother you?"

Qin Ruan, her hands warmly over his, spoke meekly, "She’s been very well-behaved."

Perhaps knowing that today was her parents’ big wedding day, the child was exceptionally well-behaved inside her belly, unlike her usual active self.

Huo Yunjiao tightened his hold on Qin Ruan’s hand, bent his head to kiss her forehead, a touch as gentle as a whisper.

He sighed softly, his voice husky with apology, "After we get back, you should go upstairs and rest. We still have another ceremony tonight, I’m sorry to ask you to join me again."

Qin Ruan twirled the Manjusaka flower in her hand, puzzled, "Why wait until tonight?"

She accepted the bouquet, which wasn’t made of roses, without question, as naturally as if the wedding ceremony should indeed use Manjusaka flowers.

It was as if Qin Ruan regarded it as natural to use Manjusaka flowers for a wedding bouquet.

Without asking from Qin Ruan, Huo Yunjiao offered no explanation, both tacitly ignoring this unspeakable issue.

Huo Yunjiao caressed her cheek, his voice gentle and soothing, "Tonight, we shall hold an ancient ritualistic wedding ceremony. It will be our own special ceremony, attended only by close family."

Tonight would be their true grand wedding, approved by Heaven and Earth and blessed by all spirits.

Qin Ruan leaned her head against Huo Yunjiao’s shoulder, her voice lazily complaining, "Getting married is such a hassle; I must change clothes at least four times today?"

Huo Yunjiao’s hand rested on her lower back, his fingers lightly kneading, alleviating the soreness of her pregnancy.

Hearing his little wife’s complaints, he comforted her tenderly by her ear, "You’re not well; just show your face during the toast, and leave everything else to me."

Qin Ruan fell silent for a while, her fingers playing with the dragon claw petals of the Manjusaka flower, her head bowed, deep in thought.
