Despite the uproar on Weibo over a negative review, the wedding was proceeding enthusiastically, and it was almost time to exchange rings.
Young Master Huo’s clear, deep, and steady voice echoed through the quiet reception, sounding particularly sexy.
“In good times and bad, in wealth and in poverty…”
An Wuyang pressed his lips together, “Pfft…” He couldn’t help but chuckle softly. Hearing the word “poverty” coming from Huo Yunchuan’s mouth struck him as very amusing.
“In sickness and in health…” Huo Yunchuan glanced at his partner and continued calmly.
His voice, typically devoid of rich emotion, had a charming contrast that was endearing.
The three groomsmen, dressed in formal suits, stood beside him, smiling broadly.
They were all handsome and charming, tall and imposing, and clearly the groom’s closest friends.
This was Young Master Huo’s first marriage, and such solemn vows would likely be spoken just this once in his lifetime.
After he finished, he immediately looked at the one he was marrying.
The vows had been prepared privately, so Huo Yunchuan had no idea what An Wuyang had written.
To be precise, he wanted to know but hadn’t been able to find out.
Was it his turn now?
The slightly dazed youth smiled at Huo Yunchuan, speaking as if his mouth were filled with sweetness: “On this joyous day, our union begins, and our happy fate is sealed. May the sea run dry and the rocks crumble, as we pledge our love before the mandarin ducks.”
The boy’s clear, melodious voice finished, and the audience erupted into thunderous applause.
Among them, Old Master Huo laughed the loudest, clapping with more enthusiasm than anyone else.
“Hehe, these two lines were taught to him by me. He recited them so well,” he said.
“Of course…” Madam Huo brushed the goosebumps on her arm and kept her eyes fixed on the couple.
In truth, Huo Yunchuan didn’t catch every word the little angel recited, but he understood the meaning.
“Okay.” He agreed eagerly.
The authoritarian man immediately signaled the officiant to proceed quickly and not dawdle.
The officiant trembled, “Would the couple please exchange rings…”
Huo Yunchuan swiftly opened the jewelry box brought by the flower girl, took out a plain men’s ring, grabbed the little angel’s delicate white hand, and neatly slipped the ring onto his middle finger.
Then, he solemnly kissed it.
Under Huo Yunchuan’s expectant gaze, An Wuyang slowly and carefully completed the ring exchange process.
Then he held the slender hand, bent down, and kissed the back of it.
“Love you,” he murmured softly.
Huo’s heart felt like it was about to explode, making him hold a stoic expression despite feeling incredibly happy.
“Hmm.” Very happy, very happy, very happy—
“Now, you may kiss each other,” the officiant said, unable to hide a genuine, uncontrollable smile.
This step seemed inevitable, despite the room being packed with people.
“Come on,” An Wuyang tilted his chin, inviting the kiss with feigned straightforwardness.
Huo Yunchuan couldn’t possibly refuse.
He immediately reached out, cupped the back of An Wuyang’s head, tilted his own, and kissed him, slyly using his sleeve and head to block most of the audience’s view.
However, he couldn’t block the officiant and the groomsmen, who were treated to a delightful live show.
“Oh—”
The handsome groomsmen whistled and clapped, cheering, “Kiss again!”
The atmosphere heated up with their cheers and the completion of the ceremony, causing many guests to stand up.
The groom, in a great mood, kept his long arm around the little groom in his embrace.
Since it was everyone’s request, he had no reason to refuse.
Without hesitation, he kissed him several more times.
The Huo family members seated below commented, “Yunchuan looks so happy,” as if he had struck gold.
Old Master Huo glanced at his son, “You were the same way when you got married.”
The wedding process wasn’t over yet, with speeches from both parents still to come.
The banquet continued lively into the afternoon.
An Wuyang felt a bit tired, sticking close to Huo Yunchuan while toasting guests, preserving his energy.
Fortunately, he wasn’t drinking alcohol.
“Finally, it’s over.”
After seeing his parents off, An Wuyang, feeling a bit exhausted, returned to Huo Yunchuan’s side and got into his car.
Then he lay down in the back seat.
No wonder people say that getting married is the most tiring thing in the world.
An exhausted An Wuyang thought that if you don’t really like someone, getting married could turn them into an enemy.
“Tired?” Huo Yunchuan turned and asked.
“No kidding,” An Wuyang lay there for a while, then curiously asked, “How much did our wedding cost in total?”
He guessed, at most, around a hundred thousand.
“I haven’t calculated it precisely,” replied the groom, who liked to control the steering wheel himself. “It should be no more than seven million.”
“What?” An Wuyang, who had been lounging like Ge You, sat up in disbelief, “For such a simple wedding, you’re telling me it cost seven million?”
Impressive.
More expensive than his betrothal gifts.
When it came to money matters, Huo Yunchuan wisely kept silent.
An Wuyang marveled at the wedding expenses but didn’t dwell on it.
He figured there was no use in feeling distressed about it.
So he took out his phone to check it.
He initially planned to update his Weibo, but when he opened it, he found a flood of bizarre information.
“Uh…” An Wuyang started to say something but then closed his mouth, pretending he hadn’t seen anything, and put his phone down to continue sleeping.
Everyone assumes that after the wedding, the newlyweds will go back to their room and have a great time.
Actually, that wasn’t the case.
When they got home, An Wuyang fell asleep immediately.
Meanwhile, the issue on Weibo was reported to Huo’s public relations team, who then brought it to the boss, asking how to handle it.
“When did this happen? And you’re only telling me now?” Huo Yunchuan scolded them a bit before instructing them to suppress the matter: “Find out who this person is.”
The PR team’s efficiency was impressive.
The topic was quickly censored, and that comment disappeared.
Fans were anxious, feeling like their battlefield had been taken away!
Fortunately, the boss, who managed to get on Weibo even on his wedding day, made a domineering statement: “To all of you who like Wuyang, first, I am investigating this person, and second, please stop flooding the screen.”
The fans might have a masochistic streak!
They didn’t find Huo Yunchuan’s tone too harsh; instead, they found it incredibly charming.
“!! Sure! We’ll wait patiently!”
“We like Wuyang, we will be good. Boss Huo, don’t be mad [heart][heart][heart]”
People from various circles on Weibo were dumbfounded.
What? This needs to be investigated too?
If they, as celebrities, received thousands of negative comments daily, wouldn’t investigating each one be exhausting?
The person who posted the negative comment probably didn’t expect it to cause such a stir, so they left too many traces. It was easy to find out who they were by checking their Weibo activity.
“Boss, we have the results.” The team called in to report.
“Speak.”
The team said, “It’s… a relative from Mr. An’s side, who attended the baby’s full-month celebration last time.”
Huo Yunchuan frowned and said in a deep voice, “Give me their phone number.” Then he hung up the phone.
With the name and phone number of that ‘relative,’ Huo Yunchuan called An Wuyang’s father, An Cheng: “Mr. An.”
His son-in-law always addressed him so formally, but An Cheng didn’t mind; he was too nervous to care.
“Ah, Yunchuan, what’s the matter?”
Huo Yunchuan succinctly explained the situation to An Cheng: “I’ve found out who it is. I’ll send their phone number and identity to your phone. Since it’s a relative from your side, it’s not appropriate for me to deal with this directly. Don’t you agree?”
An Cheng’s face flushed with embarrassment. “Yes, I will handle it. This relative isn’t very close to us anyway.”
Thinking back, he regretted inviting them in the first place; it was a favor that wasn’t appreciated!
Huo Yunchuan said, “Alright, I’ll wait for your good news.”
An Cheng responded quickly, “Sure, sure.”
After hanging up, he sighed heavily.
Ding Wei, puzzled, asked, “What’s going on?”
An Cheng explained his son-in-law’s instructions, growing increasingly uncomfortable as he spoke: “Why did you insist on sending out fifty invitations? Now we see that those people weren’t worth it…”
Hearing this, Ding Wei’s temper flared. She threw down the clothes she had just collected and grabbed the phone from her husband: “Give me the phone, I’ll give them a piece of my mind!”
With her fiery temper, she immediately called to confront them.
At first, they denied everything.
Ding Wei cursed them out: “My son-in-law already found out. You still won’t admit it? Do you need the police to come to your door before you confess?”
They claimed it was the wife’s ignorance and denied that their children were involved, citing their young age and bright future.
Listening to their apologies, Ding Wei spat in disgust and decided to cut ties with them in the future.
“Worthless!”
An Cheng, standing nearby, cautiously asked, “Finished yelling? I’ll call Yunchuan back now.”
“Go ahead.” Ding Wei felt embarrassed as well, knowing her relatives had caused the trouble, and she was aware of the underlying reasons.
An Cheng braced himself and called Huo Yunchuan back, explaining that the relative had once asked for a favor, was refused, and harbored resentment. They had decided to sever ties with this relative.
“Alright.”
After receiving the update, Huo Yunchuan posted on Weibo: The person has been identified, and they are inconsequential. There’s no need for further concern. Also, we’ll release wedding videos and photos tomorrow, which are currently being organized.
—
In the end, the culprit was just an ordinary commoner.
Huo Yunchuan didn’t intend to be too harsh; a lesson would suffice.
“Big Boss! We want to see the photos now. Can you post one now?”
Unfortunately, their Big Boss was too busy to pay attention to them!
On the big bed.
The man gave enough time for the exhausted little angel to rest.
Now it was his turn to enjoy.
“Mmm…” The sleeping teenager furrowed his brows, letting out a startled cry: “Ah…”
His twisted face slowly woke up, wearing an expression that seemed like a mix of crying and annoyance as he clung to the other person: “You…” Quite a frightening sight!
An Wuyang didn’t know what to say.
“Don’t speak, conserve your energy,” Huo Yunchuan kindly suggested. “I’m not going to let you off that easily.”
An Wuyang: “…”
What an energetic fellow!
His scalp was starting to tingle.
