While Ankang was still staying in France, the couple's wedding banquet was originally scheduled for the fourth and fifth day of the lunar month, hoping to take advantage of the Chinese New Year atmosphere to make the wedding even more joyful.
However, things often don't go as expected.
Several friends of An's family said they were unavailable during this period. Some of them had to entertain relatives and friends at home and couldn't get away; some of them had urgent matters that needed to be dealt with at work during this period and were unable to come.
Faced with this situation, Ankang, after some communication after returning to China, finally set the date for the wedding banquet on February 13th, which is the day before New Year's Eve.
The hotel is only a three-star hotel, but it has the name of a Wuhan official, which makes the hotel's reputation in Wuhan seem unusual. It usually entertains some wealthy people, foreign guests or leaders who are involved in investment promotion of Wuhan-related departments.
On the private room floor, turn left at the top and you will find the largest private room in the hotel.
There is only this private room in this corridor. In this way, there will be no interference from outsiders, and the existence of the two big stars can be avoided from being discovered.
"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations." A couple came over, and the middle-aged man hugged his fists happily.
Ankang stood at the gate, wearing a gray tunic suit with a happy red flower pinned to his chest.
The couple stood next to him. Chu Xuan was wearing a black formal suit in the style of a Mao suit, and Liu Yifei was wearing a semi-ancient and semi-modern red cheongsam wedding dress from the Republic of China era.
"Uncle Liu, Aunt Zhang." Ankang raised his hand and introduced the couple.
"Hello, Uncle Liu, hello Aunt Zhang." Liu Yifei took Chu Xuan's arm and greeted Chu Xuan politely.
"Okay, okay." Uncle Liu smiled and handed over a red envelope, and Ankang took it.
Aunt Zhang looked at the couple and said with admiration: "One is as beautiful as Pan An, and the other is as beautiful as a fairy. They are really talented men and women, and they are both so outstanding. Their reputations are well-known to everyone. Lao An, you can enjoy happiness in your later years."
Ankang said: "Not to mention the blessings, today's young people forget about home when they go out."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were slightly embarrassed and smiled sheepishly.
"You are bringing the newlyweds to welcome the guests. Your brothers and sisters are taking care of the people inside, right?" Uncle Liu glanced inside.
"Yes, my eldest brother, eldest sister, and parents are all inside. You go in and sit down. Many old friends are here." Ankang said.
"Let's go and see Mr. An first." Uncle Liu and Aunt Zhang walked in.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei turned around to look at each other, and saw a lively scene filled with guests and friends.
Due to the unexpected incident of giving out sweets, they came to their father's house two days early and spent two days of warm home life.
The uncle, aunt and two cousins also hurried back yesterday and are now helping to warmly greet the guests and friends.
Liu Yifei felt a little nervous in her heart.
When I was at my grandma's house a few days ago, the scene of setting up a tent to prepare a meal was very down-to-earth. She and Chu Xuan were not wearing wedding clothes. It was just like having a family dinner, which looked very casual and relaxed.
Although the party held by my father was just a small banquet with not many guests, the guests were all well-known people in the military, government and education circles.
Moreover, her father arranged for her and Chu Xuan to greet guests at the door, which seemed extremely formal and made her feel nervous.
"Are you nervous?" Liu Yifei gently shook Chu Xuan's arm.
Chu Xuan looked at her and asked, "Do you think I'm nervous?"
Liu Yifei blinked her eyes, and Chu Xuan's slightly tense face made her laugh, finding it very interesting.
She originally saw that Chu Xuan had been greeting and greeting her father with ease, and she thought that Chu Xuan was not nervous at all, but she didn't expect that Chu Xuan was just pretending to be calm.
"What's there to be nervous about? What's the point of being nervous on such a great day?" Ankang found it funny.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei smiled and said nothing.
Putting aside the more casual banquet at grandma's place, the current situation can be regarded as the first more formal wedding in their lives.
Even though it was just a small wedding held by my father, the guests were almost all strangers, and almost all of them were officials.
Any new couple would feel nervous when they come to the scene, right?
However, under the tension, there is more joy and a sense of dignity.
They knew that although this small wedding was small in scale, it carried their father's blessings and expectations and would become an unforgettable memory in their lives.
"Dear guests: Hello everyone!"
"On this beautiful day, we gather together to witness the happy moments of Mr. Chu Xuan and Ms. Liu Yifei."
"Today is February 13, 2010, a day filled with love and blessings."
"The sun shines through the windows into this warm venue, dispelling the chill and ushering in the upcoming New Year. It seems to be sending the warmest blessings to the newlyweds."
"When the seeds of love sprouted in their hearts, after being watered by time, they finally blossomed into the most gorgeous flowers."
"Mr. Chu Xuan is handsome and talented; Ms. Liu Yifei is beautiful and extremely charming."
"Their meeting is like the meeting of the stars and the bright moon. It is the most beautiful arrangement of fate."
"From acquaintance to knowing each other, from knowing each other to falling in love, they have gone through countless beautiful days hand in hand, and together they have written their own love legend."
"Today, they stand here and make a lifelong commitment in the presence of their relatives and friends."
"Let us bless them together. May their love be like a bright star, shining forever; may their life be like a beautiful picture, colorful."
"Now, I am very honored to announce that the wedding of Mr. Chu Xuan and Ms. Liu Yifei has officially begun! Let us welcome the happy couple into the marriage hall with the warmest applause!"
In this large private room of 300 square meters, five large round tables are arranged neatly, and a pot of delicate roses is carefully placed in the middle recess of each table.
The bright colors of roses seem to tell the intensity and beauty of love.
The surrounding walls are decorated with various colorful ribbons and balloons to make it particularly festive, creating a romantic and warm atmosphere.
Various tall flower baskets under the wall are blooming with fragrant flowers, and the bursts of floral fragrance fill the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Each large table can accommodate 20 people, and almost every table was full with the eighty or ninety people present.
In front of everyone's table, there is a red-wrapped wedding candy box, surrounded by photos of the couple in and out of Chinese dramas.
Those photos record every moment of their lives, spreading full of love and romance.
Although the venue was not large in scale, the festive atmosphere was extremely strong.
At 6:30 in the afternoon, the host's passionate tone instantly filled the entire atmosphere.
All the guests and friends present turned their attention to the door, raised their hands and applauded in unison, and the warm applause spread throughout the hall.
Amidst the playing of wedding music, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei slowly walked onto the red carpet laid out on the side of the box.
On their faces, there were smiles that were a mixture of nervousness, happiness, excitement and other mixed emotions.
They slowly walked up to the stage, and every step seemed to be stepping on clouds of happiness.
"Oh -" a young man shouted excitedly, adding vitality to this beautiful moment.
Although most of the guests present were elders, there were also some who brought their children to the wedding.
The elders who are officials may not pay much attention to the entertainment industry. Even if they have heard about Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, they are generally not very interested in celebrities, actors and the like.
In their eyes, the identities of the boss and the proprietress of Bright Times, a company worth tens of billions, are even more important to them.
But for young people, whether the company is awesome or not is not what they care about most.
The star aura of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei attracted even more attention and attention from them.
"Witnessing the wedding of a national couple, it must be recorded and then posted online to show off." A young man was recording the video with his mobile phone, his eyes full of excitement and excitement.
"My mother said she would bring me here for a drink this morning. I didn't want to come at first, but who would have thought it was the wedding of Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. Damn it, it blinded me. It was so shocking that I had to come." A young man said.
He said with great interest, with a smile of surprise on his face.
"Me too, I didn't want to come at first. I was too lazy to wait for the banquet, but I saw that the newlyweds on the invitation were Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, so I dragged my sister and came at four o'clock." The peers next to me also became interested and joined in the conversation.
He communicated eagerly.
"I also asked Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei for their autographs and took a group photo." A young woman said happily, her face full of pride.
"I'm embarrassed to say it. When they come to toast later, you can mention it and let me take a photo with it." The girl next to me said enviously.
"Yes, yes, yes, mention it when you toast, and take a photo to get to know each other. Forget about ordinary celebrities. I can call a dozen of them with just one phone call, but these two are really awesome." A second-generation official said.
, his words were full of admiration for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
"Not to mention Anjia's background, as far as they are concerned, the company is worth tens of billions. Last year, a movie made them gods in the entertainment industry. The public opinion also helped to increase the popularity of the country. I heard that many corporate culture industry chains also have to
It has begun to escalate. This influence can no longer be described by the word star, it is simply killing the entire industry in an instant." A young man praised sincerely, his eyes full of admiration and conviction.
On the ceremony stage, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei carefully followed the host's process, carrying out one link after another step by step.
"Mr. Chu Xuan, are you willing to marry Ms. Liu Yifei?" the host's voice was solemn and full of expectation.
"Yes." Chu Xuan's answer was firm and powerful, his eyes full of affection.
"Ms. Liu Yifei, are you willing to marry Mr. Chu Xuan?" the host asked again.
"Yes." Liu Yifei's voice was gentle and sweet, with a happy smile on her face.
It was the first time in her life that the hostess hosted a wedding for a big star. She was so excited that she suddenly said without following the script: "Then let's have a kiss."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other for a moment. They originally planned to exchange rings, but why did they end up kissing each other?
Although kissing is nothing to the two of them, they have been together for so many years, so this is just a small case.
But having this party in front of so many strangers and elders made the two of them feel somewhat embarrassed.
But the two of them didn't hesitate. At Liu Yifei's hint with a wink, Chu Xuan lowered his head and kissed her lips.
"Oh -" the young people cheered excitedly, while the elders laughed and applauded thunderously.
After the two exchanged rings, it was Ankang's turn to talk about the emotional process.
But Ankang, a father who doesn't talk much, said during the communication process that he doesn't like to be sensational. He only asked his daughter Liu Yifei one sentence: "Sissi, are you happy now?"
Four years ago, Chu Xuan followed his mother and daughter to Wuhan for the first time to celebrate the New Year.
On the night when he went to An's house to pay New Year's greetings, Ankang only asked this question about his daughter Sissi's relationship.
Hearing Sissi say "happy", Ankang had nothing else to say.
Now that my daughter is getting married, Ankang, the father, still only asks this question.
But Liu Yifei was deeply moved, and she felt that this sentence was more sincere and true than a thousand words.
She still answered as she did four years ago: "Happy."
"Then Dad wishes you and Chu Xuan will always be so happy." Although Ankang's words were concise, they were full of deep fatherly love.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at each other with their father, with warm smiles on their faces.
At this moment, without too many words, the deep warmth of family affection permeated the entire venue.
Around seven o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet started, and the waiters came in with carts to serve dishes to the tables.
It gets dark earlier in winter, and the sky outside is already dark, but it cannot stop the strong festive atmosphere in the venue.
"Dear friends, thank you all for coming. Our family is very honored. We would like to propose a glass of wine to you and wish you all happiness and happiness in the coming New Year."
Ankang spoke, and next to him, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei raised their wine glasses to toast.
"Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, happy wedding, can we take a photo together?" The girl who wanted to take a photo said expectantly.
As newlyweds, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei naturally would not refuse.
In this way, the couple followed their father and toasted at each table. Under the sound of blessings, they took photos with friends of the same age and aunties who liked the fun.
After toasting and taking photos together, the couple returned to the table in the middle where relatives and family members were sitting.
"Brother-in-law, let's do it!" The eldest cousin, the uncle's son, picked up a glass of liquor and wanted to have sex with Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan didn't say anything, picked up two taels of white wine and took a sip.
"Oh——" Relatives and family members applauded one after another, and the whole hall filled with joy.
Liu Yifei glared at her eldest cousin and blamed him for bullying her husband.
The eldest cousin responded to her with a triumphant expression. He seemed to have discussed it with his second cousin and several relatives of the same generation. Some people had already picked up their wine glasses and were ready to wait for Chu Xuan to finish drinking before toasting.
Chu Xuan's posture was full of enthusiasm.
Seeing this posture, Chu Xuan felt helpless, but he didn't resist.
On this once-in-a-lifetime day, he, the groom, must be brave. It doesn't matter even if he is drunk, as long as everyone is happy.
But something doesn't seem right. It's not just this time in this life, the wedding will be next month.
No one wants to marry Liu Yifei twice.
No! If you include the banquet at grandma’s house, that’s three times.
"We seem to be getting married three times, right?" Chu Xuan asked his wife quietly, suppressing a smile.
Liu Yifei thought about it for a while, and then she smiled: "It seems right, does this count as a third-marriage couple?"
