Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, the wedding day arrived.
However, unlike the engagement ceremony, the venue was not the previous Zunhao Hotel but a restaurant called Hualu Restaurant.
Through inquiries, Lin Xinyuan learned from Qin Nanfeng that they chose this place because Hualu Restaurant turned out to be Senior Brother Feng Guodong’s property.
Early in the morning, even before dawn, Lin Xinyuan was pulled out of bed by Mother Lin.
The makeup artists had already arrived and started the tedious process of dressing and applying makeup.
To be honest… she hadn’t slept well last night, not only because of today’s wedding, but also because a certain someone wasn’t by her side.
She was still too nervous.
Soon, while she was still getting her makeup done, Li Tang and the other bridesmaids arrived one after another.
They hadn’t seen each other for nearly a year, but the atmosphere was still warm.
They chatted and laughed, which kept Lin Xinyuan from feeling too bored or nervous.
Around nine o’clock, the young man and his groomsmen arrived. After a bit of a tug-of-war during the bridal pickup, she finally got into the wedding car.
At noon, under the witness of the guests below, Mother Lin, with a gratified look, placed Lin Xinyuan’s small hand into Qin Nanfeng’s wide, strong palm.
When each of them slipped the glowing ring onto the fourth finger of their partner’s left hand, it officially announced that from this day forward, they were a married couple.
The man’s handsome face was full of tenderness, while the girl’s fair, delicate cheeks flushed crimson.
But in their eyes as they looked at each other, there was nothing but love.
After the ceremony came the banquet. Lin Xinyuan followed her Feng Ge to toast the guests attending the wedding.
Before they knew it, they arrived at the table with her friends.
Li Tang stood up first and said with a smile, “A Yuan, may you have a child soon and grow old together!”
Hearing this, the others, including Xiong Wei, also offered their congratulations and raised their glasses to toast.
Among them, Lin Xinyuan even spotted Xu Zhoutao’s girlfriend—a girl who looked very young.
Actually, when she first saw her, like everyone else, she thought Old Xu had snatched an underage girl from junior high and was planning to play that grooming game.
‘This guy is such a pervert…’ she thought.
But after they explained, everyone learned that the girl was actually an adult and currently in university.
Anyway, Lin Xinyuan felt that the second child had some skill, landing a girlfriend five or six years younger.
Even in her residual male mindset, she felt a bit envious.
Hmm…
Too bad she was already a wife now…
All thanks to a certain someone…
Thinking this, the girl couldn’t help but glance at the tall, handsome young man beside her, her eyes practically forming hearts.
Of course, Lin Xinyuan didn’t actually drink alcohol; she used tea instead.
Not to mention her inability to hold her liquor, she also had a little one in her belly, so she dared not be careless.
After saying goodbye to her friends, they continued to other tables and soon came face to face with both families.
When she learned she was getting married, aside from the eldest uncle’s family, not only the second cousin and the younger female cousin came, but the entire Tang family showed up.
Knowing that the two elderly people had traveled all this way despite their advanced age to attend her wedding, Lin Xinyuan was momentarily speechless with emotion.
It could be said that while she was only their granddaughter, they showed no difference between her and Liu Tangya.
In fact, because of her experiences, they doted on her a bit more.
Even though she had only lived with them for four years and rarely returned except during holidays, she could truly feel the genuine affection.
She silently vowed that from now on—no, at least she would go back to visit the elderly three times a year.
Grandpa Qin needed no mention; such a big event as his grandson’s wedding had brought him over days in advance.
Qin Changyin’s family was also present.
Among them, a little girl who had harbored a secret crush on the young man since childhood was now in her third year of junior high.
Girls mature early, and Xu Ruoruo had finally realized how embarrassing her earlier words were.
So when she faced Lin Xinyuan and Qin Nanfeng, she couldn’t help being shy, her eyes darting away in a cute, embarrassed manner.
Seeing this, Lin Xinyuan just smiled faintly, pretending nothing was wrong, but inwardly she kept muttering.
‘Hehe… Feng Ge is only mine!’
‘You little brat, forget it!’
If Qin Nanfeng standing beside her knew what his little wife was thinking, he’d probably be at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
He felt his little Yuan was already twenty-three years old, yet she was still competing with a little kid.
After that, they went around toasting one by one.
During this time, Lin Xinyuan saw some of Qin Nanfeng’s business friends, including that buddy from Zhanhai City who often lent him cars—Seems his name was Shi Ritian or something…
Anyway, she always felt she’d heard that name somewhere before.
Of course, Ming Jie and her husband—a calm, reserved middle-aged uncle—as well as Yiting, Uncle Ming, Liu Yi, Cousin Lin Xinyu, and even Aunt Lu came.
There were even some people she knew well from Fengxing Company, like Yun Jie and Su Feng.
But she couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something off between Liu Yi and Lin Xinyu.
She didn’t dwell on it, though, thinking she might be overthinking it.
In short, besides their families, most of the friends and elders they knew were present.
Only Teacher Ming couldn’t make it due to work, which disappointed the girl a bit.
With so many guests, the toasting went on for over an hour before finally ending.
Even Qin Nanfeng, who usually had an impressive alcohol tolerance, was nearly overwhelmed after being poured glass after glass.
It wasn’t until around three in the afternoon that the wedding feast was successfully concluded, and everyone said their goodbyes.
By the time everything was settled, Lin Xinyuan was exhausted. Her feet felt like they weren’t hers anymore, and her heels were terribly sore.
But at least it was over.
On their wedding night, Lin Xinyuan was cradled in the young man’s arms, but they didn’t really do anything.
One reason was that they were both tired; the other was that she was pregnant, so they couldn’t do that sort of thing for now.
And so the night passed.
When the morning sunlight streamed in through the window, it heralded the first day of the girl’s life as a wife.
Even in her sleep, a sweet smile lingered on Lin Xinyuan’s lips, indicating that her dream that night had been a pleasant one.
Qin Nanfeng had been awake for a while, staring at his adorable little wife.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously curved into an uncontrollable smile.
Last night, little Yuan had been very happy…
But just as he was thinking this, he noticed the eyelids of the person beside him twitch slightly.
Her delicate brows furrowed, and her expression instantly turned troubled.
Lin Xinyuan lightly bit her pink lips, her long lashes trembling, her teeth seeming to chatter.
Qin Nanfeng’s gaze shifted. He didn’t speak, just reached out and held the girl a little tighter.
The sleeping person seemed to feel his movement, and her expression gradually relaxed.
When Lin Xinyuan woke up, she found she was alone in bed.
She instinctively touched the quilt beside her—there was still some residual warmth.
“Feng Ge?”
Lin Xinyuan called out softly, but no one answered.
When she came out in her nightgown, groggy, she happened to see the young man just exiting the kitchen.
“Go wash up quickly, then come have breakfast.”
Qin Nanfeng raised an eyebrow at her, his expression gentle and warm like the midday sun.
His handsome face, paired with that teasing tone, instantly captivated Lin Xinyuan, leaving her frozen in place.
“Hm? Not feeling well?”
Qin Nanfeng put down his bowl and chopsticks, walked over to Lin Xinyuan, and reached out to stroke her fuzzy little head, which finally snapped her out of it.
“Oh… Oh… okay…” Lin Xinyuan said, her face flushing red as she hurried to the bathroom to freshen up.
But as soon as she finished washing and came out, a familiar “woof woof woof” rang out, accompanied by a yellow figure rushing toward her.
Lin Xinyuan didn’t need to think twice to know it was Xiao Huang, just waking up from its doghouse.
She immediately crouched down and stroked the head of the little—well, now big—dog, saying softly, “Be good… I’ll give you something yummy later…”
Since she knew Second Uncle and the others were driving to Tianbei City, she had asked Grandfather to bring Xiao Huang along.
Now Xiao Huang had officially moved in.
For this, Lin Xinyuan had taken it to the pet hospital yesterday after the wedding to get its shots and run all sorts of tests.
Only after confirming it had no illnesses did she bring it home.
Must say, Xiao Huang was extremely smart.
Not only did it cooperate with Lin Xinyuan when she bathed it, but it also seemed to know instinctively to use the toilet by itself, which was very convenient.
For example, right now, Xiao Huang seemed to understand what Lin Xinyuan said and immediately started whimpering and whining.
So sometimes… the girl really felt it was almost like it had become a spirit.
Strange.
