Shan Qihuan on the other side has just finished a meeting with his subordinates, recently, he has been paying a lot of attention to a new project of the company, he personally keeps an eye on the progress of the project, and listen to the project team’s progress report every week.
Before Shan Qihuan even graduated from university, he received start-up capital from Shan Tianfeng, this fund is available to every child in the Shan family, he is not a special case, but he is a little more powerful than his compatriots or half-siblings, at less than thirty years old, he has his own listed company, compared with many of his peers who also came from wealthy and powerful families, he was pretty good. However, the money he earned was not worth mentioning1值得一提 (zhí de yī tí): to be worth noting; to be worth mentioning. in the eyes of the Shan family, therefore, Shan Tianfeng would easily hand over his marriage to a young man without learning or skills because of a dream.
Thinking that the person on the other end of the phone was his fiancé, whom he resisted, the happy and good mood because the project progress was advanced by 30% just now instantly dropped a lot.
He Min first explained the specific process of the wedding ceremony to the two of them, this was basically settled and could not be changed, she just wanted to make it clear to them.
“The next step is the process related to the ceremony, given that the two of you are having a same-sex wedding, and Mr. Shen’s family situation is also quite special, Mr. Shen will appear together holding Qihuan’s hand, do you have any opinions on this?”
Shen Yuhan, of course, has no opinion, he also recently watched other people’s wedding ceremonies on TV, most of which are heterosexual weddings, he had never seen a same-sex wedding, so naturally he couldn’t make any big opinion. In Qi Kingdom, the process of getting married is similar, whether it is a young lady getting married or a ger getting married, there is no difference.
In this world, monogamy is the norm, but the Shan family seems to be relatively powerful, the Old Master2老爺子 (lǎo yé zi): my (you etc) old father; polite appellation for an elderly male. Shan alone has four wives, which makes him a little worried about whether his fiancé was also a romantic person, he doesn’t know if he has any mistresses or concubines.
With all these flashing through his mind, Shen Yuhan replied dully to He Min: “No opinion, I can do anything.”
Shan Qihuan wanted to reject this proposal, but suddenly hearing Shen Yuhan’s voice, he swallowed his words for no reason.
At first, he heard Shen Yuhan’s voice was different, he didn’t know if he had accepted his father’s arrangement or if he was thinking of something else.
Shan Qihuan said: “Keep it simple if you can.” The two haven’t even met since the engagement was made.
Before Shan Tianfeng made the engagement between Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan, Shen Yuhan liked Shan Qiyun, even after learning that they were engaged, Shen Yuhan was still chasing Shan Qiyun, he didn’t feel embarrassed either, it seemed that as long as he wasn’t embarrassed, it would be Shan’s family who would be embarrassed.
Last week, Shen Yuhan even got into a fight over Shan Qiyun with a certain wealthy young lady who liked Shan Qiyun, Shan Qihuan was upstairs at the time, and witnessed the whole process of Shen Yuhan falling into the water, he was the first to call for rescue.
Shen Yuhan’s voice that day was sharp and extremely aggressive, scolding the wealthy young lady, his face turned red with anger, because of the unpleasant3不堪入耳 (bù kān rù ěr): intolerable to the ear (e.g. of coarse language); disgusting; revolting; (language) offensive to the ear. content of his words, Miss Huang was also furious4氣急敗壞 (qì jí bài huài): furious and exasperated; utterly discomfited. and pushed him into the water.
At that time, Shan Qihuan thought, in fact, these two people are really the pot calling the kettle black5五十步笑一百步 (wǔ shí bù xiào yī bǎi bù): From the idiom, 五十步笑百步 (wǔ shí bù xiào bǎi bù), lit. the one who has retreated 50 steps laughs at the one who has retreated 100 steps (idiom); the pot calls the kettle black; From a parable in Mencius (《孟子·梁惠王上》): 孟子對曰：「王好戰，請以戰喻。填然鼓之，兵刃既接，棄甲曳兵而走。或百步而後止，或五十步而後止。以五十步笑百步，則何如？」 曰：「不可，直不百步耳，是亦走也。」, Mencius replied, “Your majesty is fond of war – let me take an illustration from war. The soldiers move forward to the sound of the drums; and after their weapons have been crossed, on one side they throw away their coats of mail, trail their arms behind them, and run. Some run a hundred paces and stop; some run fifty paces and stop. What would you think if those who run fifty paces were to laugh at those who run a hundred paces?” The king said, “They should not do so. Though they did not run a hundred paces, yet they also ran away.”, birds of a feather6一丘之貉 (yī qiū zhī hé): lit. one hill’s badgers; jackals of the same tribe (idiom); fig. They are all just as bad as each other; (derogatory) people of the same ilk; birds of a feather., there is essentially no difference between them.
With the fierce Third Madam Duan Qiuhui here, it is impossible for Shen Yuhan to marry Shan Qiyun, and Shan Tianfeng also quite dotes on Duan Qiuhui, after doing this for a long time, does he want to use himself as a springboard, don’t blame him for the conspiracy theory, Shen Yuhan was chasing Shan Qiyun too closely some time ago, everyone in the Shan family knows it, but it’s still unknown how the other Shan family members arrange him behind his back.
After solving one problem, He Min continued to discuss the next process with them.
Shen Yuhan has no opinion, and Shan Qihuan’s reply was still simple, after going through the process, the interaction between the two grooms is almost zero.
After completing the process, He Min asked them in a sweet voice if they had any questions.
Shen Yuhan hesitated for a moment and asked: “There’s no rowdy bridal chamber7鬧洞房 (nào dòng fáng): to disturb the bridal room; (of friends and relatives) to banter or tease the newlyweds on wedding night; disturbing the privacy of bridal room (Chinese custom where guests banter with and play pranks on the newlyweds). This tradition used to be fun, but the modern jokes are getting more and more cruel. More information: Link 1, Link 2, Link 3., is there?”
Shen Yuhan didn’t say much while He Min was going through the process, presumably because of the shock of falling into the water, he knew that in order not to let him continue to be a disgrace, Duan Qiuhui had kept him under guard, and was determined to let the wedding go on.
Suddenly asking a question, Shan Qihuan suddenly struck up a conversation with Shen Yuhan: “Do you want to have it or not?”
Shen Yuhan felt that his fiancé had some intentions, he pursed his lips and said: “It’s customary.”
Shan Qihuan paused for a moment: “Then there is.” Then he said, “Do you have anything else to ask?”
He seemed to be asking Shen Yuhan, but also seemed to be asking He Min.
Shen Yuhan unexpectedly knew that Shan Qihuan was asking him, but he refused to answer, and He Min took the initiative to interject herself into their conversation.
“No more.”
Shan Qihuan waited for two seconds, and realized that Shen Yuhan didn’t open his mouth again: “Okay, then I have another meeting, if there’s anything, you can contact my assistant again.”
He Min smiled and said: “Good, then I won’t disturb you anymore.”
The two sides hung up the call, Shen Yuhan could no longer hear his fiancé’s voice, but he still marveled at the power of modern people.
In fact, under normal circumstances, they can just set up a WeChat group, and start a group to chat.
But He Min probably paid too much attention to Shan Qihuan’s wedding, so she simply came to see what his fiancé looked like.
After hearing Shan Qihuan’s voice, Shen Yuhan thought about his fiancé’s appearance before going to bed, his voice is also young, he and Miss He are classmates, so the two of them should be similar in age, not too old.
He is definitely better than the cruel king, it is said that he is already fifty years old, has many beauties in his harem, and has robbed countless beauties from small countries.
After the comparison, Shen Yuhan didn’t know whether he was lucky or unlucky, but he was probably lucky.
In the first two days of the wedding, Sister Jiao kept a close eye on Shen Yuhan, even had four bodyguards working morning, noon, and night shifts to keep an eye on his every move, as soon as he stepped out of the villa, he would be sent directly back to his room and locked up.
As a matter of fact, Shen Yuhan had no intention to explore the outside world for the time being, he was still a bit resistant to the unfamiliar world, it was too unfamiliar, and there was also a gap between generations, even with strong adaptability, it will take some time to digest the tip of the iceberg he has learned.
–
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the day of the wedding, Shen Yuhan was picked up at seven o’clock in the morning, Sister Jiao brought a group of people to do Shen Yuhan’s hair, change his clothes, put on makeup, and gave him a piece of bread and a bottle of milk for breakfast.
Shen Yuhan feels like a clay doll now, at the mercy of others, around nine o’clock, a group of people stuffed him into the wedding car with the word happy [喜 (xǐ)] on it, there was no groom coming to pick him up, sitting next to Shen Yuhan is the muscular bodyguard brothers, the Third Madam is really afraid that Shen Yuhan would harass her son, so she must make this wedding a success.
In this way, Shen Yuhan, who had nowhere to escape, was brought to the wedding venue in a daze, when he entered, he was surrounded by bodyguards, those who didn’t know thought that the groom was so impressive.
Shen Yuhan was taken to the backstage, where a girl thrust a bunch of white flowers into his hand, and she reminded him to use them when he came on stage later.
Shen Yuhan was a little confused after being brought to a strange environment, the scene he saw on TV was not even a fraction of what he was feeling now, the banquet hall was downstairs, while the lounge he was in was on the upper floor, there was a window to look down, this was different from any banquet he had ever had.
He has always remain in the boudoir waiting to be betrothed8待字閨中 (dài zì guī zhōng): (of women) to stay in the boudoir waiting to be betrothed; not yet betrothed to a man; remain in the boudoir waiting to be betrothed—yet to be betrothed; be still single., his mother would occasionally take him to wedding banquets, women and ger were arranged in the backyard, while the men were all in the front yard, where the groom would go from table to table to toast with his groomsmen, compared to the bustle in the front yard, the backyard is usually quiet.
At this time, there were many waiters in uniform clothes walking around in the banquet hall, He Min, whom he had met two days ago, was standing on the stage, holding a microphone to adjust the volume.
After watching for a while, someone came over, and told the bodyguard at the door that he would take Shen Yuhan to the door to greet the guests, and that no one else needed to follow.
The bodyguard did not verify the identity of the other party, and directly let the person in, the other party pulled Shen Yuhan and walked out, even pretending to be intimate.
Shen Yuhan didn’t know the other person, the people who arranged the itinerary for him were the staff he met in the morning, who was this man? He wondered if the other party was a friend of ‘Shen Yuhan’. Until he was led to a remote corner, the further he walked, the fewer people there were, and the more Shen Yuhan realized something was wrong, when the other party was about to lead him into a fire door, Shen Yuhan stopped, and refused to go any further.
Shen Yuhan was certain: “Where are you taking me? This is not the way to receive guests.”
Although he didn’t understand the structure of this place, but it is impossible to go too far when welcoming guests, there was not even anyone passing by, the passageway here is very narrow, the door is also very small, and when closed, it is an isolated space, Shen Yuhan is a little scared.
The person who brought Shen Yuhan out was a young man, he was dressed in a suit, with fake flowers in his pocket, he asked Shen Yuhan, his expression was a little urgent: “Don’t you want to see Brother Qiyun? I’m trying to help you, come with me, he’s waiting for you in the parking lot, when you get down, he will take you to escape from this unfair wedding!”
Shen Yuhan took two steps back and shook his head: “I’m not going.”
The young man was stunned: “Why? You don’t like Brother Qiyun anymore?”
Shen Yuhan distanced himself from the young man, although he may be different from a ger now, he was still a ger at heart, and refuses to get too close to a strange man, nor does he want to be hand in hand9拉拉扯扯 (lā lā chě chě): to pull repeatedly; to drag repeatedly; to hold each other’s arms and hands in a lovey-dovey manner; to gang up with; to rope in; be hand in hand—be on intimate terms; establish underhand connections for personal gains. with the other party.
Shen Yuhan asked the other party coldly: “Then does he like me?”
The young man chuckled: “If he doesn’t like you, why would he specially pick you up today?”
Shen Yuhan, on the other hand, was extremely calm at the moment: “If he likes me, why would he pick me up today?”
The young man didn’t expect Shen Yuhan to refute, and he was slightly stunned: “Are you really not leaving?”
Shen Yuhan shook his head: “Thank you and Shan Qiyun for your kindness, I appreciate it.” He turned around and ran back the way they came, the young man was stunned for a moment, never expecting that the other party would run so resolutely.
“Stop, you can’t go back!” He immediately chased after him, the sound of their footsteps echoing down the hallway.
Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan held their wedding in a five-star hotel, the young man took Shen Yuhan through the guest room area, the corridor is particularly long, and winding, the floor is covered with carpets, there are no heavy footsteps when running.
Shen Yuhan experienced being chased by mountain bandits once, he ran forward desperately, he couldn’t remember which door he came in from, but he just wanted to escape from the young man who wanted to take him away.
He looked back while running, fearing that the other party would catch him.
Without paying attention, he collided with the person who just came out from the guest room, the body’s center of gravity was unstable, and the person was knocked against the wall next to him, Shen Yuhan also fell to the ground because he was tripped by the other person’s long legs, fortunately, the ground was covered with carpet, so it didn’t hurt.
Shen Yuhan looked at the man he bumped into with surprise.
Shen Yuhan was helped up by the person who came out from the room,only then did he realize that the man he bumped into was wearing the same suit as him, and the other party looked at him and the young man with some displeasure.
The one who opened his mouth was the one who helped Shen Yuhan up: “Mr. Shen, why are you running?”
Do they know him?
The young man chased after him very quickly, when he saw Shen Yuhan lying on the ground and the man he had bumped into, he was somewhat embarrassed.
“Chief Shan, what a coincidence.”
Shen Yuhan stood up and tugged on the hem of his suit, as if complaining: “He wants to take me away.”
Shan Qihuan stood up straight now, he asked the young man: “Where are you taking him?”
The young man took two steps back and tried to run, but Shan Qihuan’s assistant held him down faster and pressed him against the wall!
Shan Qihuan asked him: “Who sent you here? Shan Qiyun?”
The young man pressed his face against the wall and said: “I came here on my own, it has nothing to do with Shan Qiyun.”
Shan Qihuan glanced at Shen Yuhan, and happened to meet the eyes of Shen Yuhan who was quietly sizing him up.
He averted his eyes and asked the young man: “You know me and want to ruin my wedding, it really has nothing to do with Shan Qiyun, is it the Second Madam or the Fourth Madam?”
The young man didn’t speak, Shan Qihuan gave the assistant a look, and the other party dragged him into the room.
Shen Yuhan watched Shan Qihuan handle this matter the whole time, unexpectedly, the Shan family was not at peace either.
Shan Qihuan wore the same suit as him, and was half a head taller than him, his deep voice gave people a natural sense of security, Shen Yuhan recognized this person as his fiancé through his voice.
Shan Qihuan had already recognized Shen Yuhan, without being polite, he directly said to him: “Let’s go, it’s time to receive the guests.”
After he finished speaking, he walked in the direction of the elevator without looking back.
Shen Yuhan in the back breathed a sigh of relief, in Qi Kingdom, if a bride leaves with a stranger, the bride may be nailed to a pillar of shame and given an ‘unclean’ brand, and would be dipped in a pig cage10浸豬籠 (jìn zhū lóng): to drown sb in a wicker basket, a form of 沉潭 (chén tán), to sink sb to the bottom of a pond (a kind of private punishment, especially for unfaithful wives); In the old days, women who did not follow the rules of women and had an affair with others were punished by being “dipped in a pig cage”, that is, the person was tied up and stuffed into a large pig cage, and then the person and the pig cage were thrown into the river, leaving no room for escape for those inside, in order to warn other women to abide by women’s ethics..
It’s good that Shan Qihuan didn’t misunderstand him, looking at the back of the tall man walking in front of him, Shen Yuhan felt that there seemed to be some hope for the future.
