Su Xing understood that his mother did not want him to be overly emotional and cry, yet he harbored a deep sense of gratitude within his heart. However, when Shen Jingyu expressed his feelings so passionately, Su Xing could no longer hold back his tears.
He said, "In this life, I am fortunate to meet you. I will protect you at all costs. If we are to part in the long years ahead, let me endure countless trials and tribulations!"
Su Xing's quiet sobs turned into uncontrollable shaking of his shoulders. Shen Jingyu quickly wrapped him in his arms, his lips close to Su Xing's ear. "Don't cry, my love! I adore you! In this life and the next, I will only love you!"
This only made Su Xing cry harder. Shen Jingyu felt particularly awkward and waved to the guests below. "My wife is feeling a bit emotional; please give her a moment and bear with us."
The guests naturally had no objections and offered Su Xing the warmest applause. The next segment was the bouquet toss, an eagerly anticipated and lively event for all the single men and women present.
Behind them stood several couples who had yet to marry, creating quite a crowd. When Su Xing glanced back, he was taken aback by the sheer number of people!
However, he was most excited for his best friend. Among their group, Mu Beiyao was the oldest! Yet, to his surprise, she did not catch the bouquet he threw. Perhaps it was because she was pregnant and worried about straining her belly. As Su Xing tossed the bouquet over his shoulder, it veered off course; instead of landing in Mu Beiyao's hands, it fell into the hands of Mu Beiming, who stood nearby.
Mu Beiming quietly rubbed his nose—was this not a stroke of luck for him?!
Without a moment's hesitation or doubt, Mu Beiming made the boldest move of his life. Holding the bouquet high with one hand, he stepped forward in response to the host's inquiry and knelt before Shen Tian Er, raising the flowers high.
"Will you be my girlfriend? Shen Tian Er, I like you!"
What the heck!
I’m incredible!
Shen Tian Er was so shocked that she couldn't make a sound!
How did Mu Beiming dare to do such a thing? There were many prominent figures present, including renowned financial tycoons and influential military businessmen—people of high status!
Mu Beiming had actually knelt before everyone and declared his feelings.
Shen Tian Er’s face turned bright red, and even her mother’s face flushed with color!
Shen Huai Min silently clenched his fists; veins bulged on his neck from the tension—his emotions were running high.
Under the host's guidance, the atmosphere became increasingly romantic. Although Shen Tian Er was initially stunned, amidst various encouragements, she broke into a sweet smile and reached out to help Mu Beiming up.
Her voice was soft and delicate, and she responded with a single word.
Mu Beiming, having clearly heard her, pressed on relentlessly, "Do you like it, girlfriend?"
Shen Tian Er shot back, "Do you enjoy throwing bombs at me and my family out of nowhere?"
"You have no idea how much of a stir your actions will cause today, at the Shen Family," Mu Beiming warned.
Su Xing found the scene amusing, while Shen Jingyu appeared somewhat tense.
They didn't waste much time. There were still toasts to be made, and most people were aware of Su Xing's health condition. Therefore, this couple didn't need to drink much; it was mostly about receiving red envelopes until their hands grew sore from collecting them.
A spacious and generous red envelope had been prepared in advance and was nearly stuffed to the brim!
In addition to the cash gifts recorded outside the door, some elders and friends privately presented gifts as well. There were also those who changed their tune at the dining table, with both sides preparing red envelopes for the younger generation. This was quite a significant income!
Even if Su Xing wasn't particularly greedy, she showed great interest in the profits from this wedding. After all, these were joyful finances—how could she not like them?
So that evening, when the Shen Family gathered again, Su Xing quietly sat on the bed in the bridal chamber, bored as she opened red envelopes.
Shen Jingyu had stayed out a bit longer that night, accompanying a few friends and drinking a couple more glasses before returning.
When he entered the room, his eyes seemed to emit a faint wolfish glint.
Su Xing had changed into her final outfit—a red silk dress that was loose-fitting with a deep neckline, contrasting sharply with her porcelain skin. After her bath, she sat cross-legged on the bed, fiddling with checks and cash in her hands, her smile growing wider.
When Shen Jingyu walked in and saw this enticing scene, it felt as if his heartstrings were instantly tugged; he felt exhilarated.
"Is my wife happy?" he asked as he loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt collar before closing the door tightly behind him.
Su Xing looked up at him slightly and walked over steadily, her eyes sparkling like a galaxy. "Over a hundred million! Honey! Our wedding seems quite profitable!"
Shen Jingyu sat beside her, placing his large hand on her waist as he cheerfully replied, "This is the only time we'll make money in this lifetime! You have all my assets—both movable and immovable—what do you need these for?"
"But that's different! This is all filled with joy! I really like it!" Su Xing pouted playfully.
However, Shen Jingyu couldn't help but lean in closer, his lips tinged with alcohol brushing against Su Xing's tender red lips.
"Don't you dare! You smell like alcohol!" Su Xing protested lightly as she pushed against his waist.
Shen Jingyu instantly became excited: "Let's take a bath together! I’ll carry you like a princess! We can have a sweet bath together."
But Su Xing seriously reminded him, "There's still a little one in my belly! It's not convenient!"
Shen Jingyu sighed in frustration, lowering his head. "What bad timing for this little one to come along!"
You wash yourself first, Su Xing thought. After all, it was the wedding night; it couldn't be too imperfect.
Shen Jingyu instantly understood! Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she rushed into the bathroom, managing to finish a quick battle shower in just ten minutes! When she came out, she sweetly embraced Su Xing.
Meanwhile, in the dimly lit Shen Mansion, the atmosphere was tense. After dinner, Su Xing was sent to rest, but Shen Jingyu had yet to arrive. The major issue concerning Shen Tian Er was now on the agenda!
Everyone except those few had gathered together.
"Shen Tian Er! You really have some nerve! Today at your brother's wedding, you made quite the scene! What’s going on? Does Mu Beiming still want to force a marriage?" Shen Huai Min's mood was second only to Shen Jinghui's, and he was the most reactive of them all!
"I didn’t do anything," Shen Tian Er protested, feeling that her explanation was rather weak.
As she faced the interrogation from all sides, Shen Tian Er silently cursed that dog of a man in her heart! How could he be so reckless? Especially when he didn't care about her well-being at all!
