642 The Wedding Begins (1/2)
-Crown Plaza-
Entering the wedding venue, one could already feel the luxurious and elegant vibe. The way white and red dominated the decoration. It looked like something that came out of a magazine cover. It wouldn't take a genius to know at first sight that this was one high-class wedding.
The highly attentive and professional ushers were guiding the guests to their respective seats.
Xin Zimen and Xiao Si stood on the left side of the entrance to greet their guests while Zhao Wei and Qiu Jiayi stood on the right side. The wedding ceremony of the Xin family's eldest son and the Qiu family's eldest daughter was already the talk of the elite circle. There was no one who wasn't familiar with these two families' names but only a handful was fortunate enough to receive the invites.
The media also had a keen interest in this event but since it was Xin Zimen's side of the family, no one had the guts to even probe around. The security was top-notch and no unrelated personnel could even think about entering this place without being caught. And once caught red-handed, who could escape the wrath of Xin Zimen?
”Zi, stand straight!”
Xin Zimen looked over at his best friend who was hissing with displeasure, he sighed out, ”I'm tired already.”
”We just started,” reminded Qiu Jiayi patiently.
”My cheekbones are already hurting though,” said Xin Zimen with a frown. It was his first time welcoming guests! Even though he had a very perfunctory smile on his face, even that was enough to tire him out.
”And this is why I always tell you to exercise your face muscles and smile a little!”
Xin Zimen rolled his eyes at his best friend and was about to snap back when...
”Well, little brother, you should listen to Jiayi. Now that I already know you don't have facial paralysis, you should really stop being so stiff all the time.”
Xin Zimen turned his head to look at his elder brother but his gaze didn't linger on him as it shifted smoothly to the woman beside him. Zhao Huan gave him a huge smile before rushing over to hug her little brother-in-law. ”Congratulations, Xiao Zi!” Xin Zimen immediately thought to move out of her way to avoid her hug but she narrowed her eyes and warned, ”Don't even think about it!”
Cursing under his breath, Xin Zimen let her hug him like he was a little kid. This over-enthusiastic sister-in-law of his was quite a troublesome personality. He had no dislike towards her except for the fact that she was his elder brother's wife. In fact, before she married his elder brother, he actually liked her naive personality. But after marrying his brother, her naiveness had been long taken away from her.
Zhao Huan was obviously very pleased as she pinched his cheek saying, ”You're finally going to become a father-in-law, smile a little.”
Xin Zimen snorted, ”Why should I smile about it?”
”Oh, really?” Xin Zimen was amused to hear her words since he really couldn't even argue.
”Isn't it?” retorted Zhao Huan. ”People propose first and get married later. You're proposed to first, got married later and lastly, you're the one who proposed to your wife. And even now, the order is all wrong.” Then her attention shifted to Xiao Si, as she walked over to hug her nephew excitedly.
”Little brother, it's really unfair.” Xin Zimen looked up at his elder brother. ”You don't even let me touch your head and you let my wife even hug you? Such discrimination!”
”Why? Does it hurt your feelings?” asked Xin Zimen calmly.
”Very much,” nodded Xin Zemin affirmatively.
Xin Zimen smirked coldly, ”That's nice to hear.”
”Tsk. Tsk. Heartless!”
”My dear nephew, you're next in line,” Zhao Huan was teasing Xiao Si happily. ”I honestly thought you'd be the first one to get married but you're fast in everything else except for this.”
Xiao Si frowned at his aunt's words, ”I'm fast at what?”
