Their eyes met and Leng Yan felt a strange sensation.

  He seemed to have caught admiration from Ling Xi’s eyes.

  How was that possible?

  Leng Yan wanted to confirm but Ling Xi stopped looking at him.

  The pastor continued, “Please bow to your parents and thank the guests.” Quan Zexi and He Wanqing re-entered the stage.

  Everyone who was invited was family and close friends. Though they knew that Jun Yexuan had no parents, the sight of only Qiao Qing’s parents being up there felt painful.

  Jun Yexuan got on stage with Qiao Qing and gave the prepared flower bouquets to Quan Zexi and He Wanqing. He bowed with Qiao Qing, “Dad, mom, I thank

  you.”


  I thank you for trusting me with your daughter. I thank you for making me feel the parental and familial warmth that I was never able to receive from my own. My birth was never celebrated and I was merely a name to my family. It was you who made me realize what it’s like to be spoiled.

  This is why I am so willing to live with you under the same roof. I never want to return to the Jun family, where I am only a piece of their chess game.

  She’s brought him so much.

  He Wanqing giggled, “No need to thank us silly. As long as you kids are happy, your dad and I are happy.”


  Quan Zexi added, “Exactly. You have performed well and that’s why I am willing to let my daughter marry you. You better keep it up, okay?” Jun Yexuan smiled, “Of course.” “Alright then.” Quan Zexi said, “Thank the guests.”


  He then waved his hands at the Qi family and Quan Yeting, “Come up for photos.”


  While Jun Yexuan and Qiao Qing thanked the guests for coming. Quan Yeting, the Qi family, Jun Yitong, and Jun Xiaoqi all walked up onto the stage The 18 Qi brothers and the few Jun cousins stood on stage, garnering much attention and howls from the guests.

  “Oh my god, these people are so good-looking! What kind of genes do they have?”


  “The brides’ brothers can debut as celebrities! They’re better looking than all the idols these days!”


  “The man in the front is the most handsome! He looks just as good as the groom!”


  “The princess is very lucky. With 18 brothers, there’s no way the groom would dare to hurt the bride! The princess is sosososososososo lucky!”


  The chitchats below the stage continued as the family members surrounded Jun Yexuan and Qiao Qing. They then struck a pose. Not only did the photographers take pictures then, the guests all took out their phones and started snapping photos. Feng Heng sarcastically said to Gong Yi, “You aren’t being hurt enough? You’re saving their family photo on your phone?” Gong Yi found the right angle and took several pictures. Then, he answered Feng Heng, “You are so shallow. I am going to photoshop Jun Yexuan off the picture and add myself.”


  The other love rivals’ lips twitched. Only Yin Feili chimed in, “Good idea!”


  He then took out his cell phone as well.

  After photos, the formal wedding ceremony was basically over.

  Quan Zexi said to everyone there, “Friends and family, let’s move this to the dining hall where we will be celebrating with some food.”


  Jun Yexuan’s hand never left Qiao Qing’s. After Quan Zexi’s words, he asked, “Dad, can Qingqing and I go to our hotel room now?”
