The sweetest in the entertainment industry

The mountain villa's roads weren't wide enough, and there were occasional steps. In winter, the ground was covered in frost, and an overly grand procession with crowds could easily lead to accidents. In addition, these days, everyone is supposed to be equal, and the couple came from a wealthy family with considerable assets, making their status inherently sensitive. If they were to inadvertently adopt a privileged class attitude, they would inevitably be criticized and trend on social media. Therefore, when it came to the wedding ceremony, the couple's wedding arrangements differed considerably from those of ancient times.

From Zhenliu Pavilion to the auditorium, Gu Lanxi did not ride in a sedan chair, but instead chose to ride a horse, walking side by side with Lu Nanting.

Her jet-black thoroughbred Hanoverian horse, along with Lu Nanting's white horse, had been transported from Lu Nanyi's private horse farm in the eastern suburbs to this large, publicly-operated horse farm long in advance to acclimatize. Gu Lanxi had visited twice and the horses were in excellent condition.

On the day of the ceremony, it was brought over early in the morning and looked shiny and docile.

Gu Lanxi had no brothers, nor did she ask her cousin to carry her out. Lu Nanting rode his horse to the door with his entourage. The bridesmaids symbolically blocked the door for a while, but seeing that the auspicious time had arrived, they immediately accepted the red envelopes and opened the door.

Gu Lanxi walked out like that.

With a wave of her hand, someone quickly led her black horse over.

Gu Lanxi mounted her horse, shook the reins, and smiled sweetly at Lu Nanting: "Let's go!"

Adorned in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown, with her head full of pearls and jade, Gu Lanxi sat upright on her tall horse, without a veil or fan to cover her face, and looked down at Lu Nanting with her eyes, urging him on.

She showed no trace of fragility or shyness, only boundless gentleness and unwavering determination.

Lu Nanting looked up at her, completely stunned.

The sky was clear and blue today, and the resort was decorated with various hardy flowers, so it didn't look as desolate as the wild.

The frozen waterfall was melting slightly, and water droplets fell down, drip-drip-drip.

The people you love are by your side.

Everywhere you look, there's a festive and lively red.

Lu Nanting felt as if his heart was completely filled.

In that instant, I suddenly remembered an autumn day when the two of us huddled on the sofa in the study, flipping through a book of poems.

Gu Lanxi whispered to him, "I love this poem, 'To the Oak Tree,' the most. If I love you—I will not be like the climbing trumpet creeper, using your tall branches to show off myself… I must be a kapok tree beside you, standing with you as a tree. Our roots, tightly clasped underground; our leaves, touching in the clouds…"

The house has many beautiful windows, and each window offers a different view as the seasons change.

He never had much patience for reading, but when he held Gu Lanxi in his arms, he wouldn't want to play on his phone or do anything else.

Gu Lanxi recited the poem softly while he stared out the window.

The huge arched lattice window in the study faces a cedar tree.

When we first moved in, the trees were covered with pine cones, which looked like green pigeon eggs. In autumn, they burst open and fell, leaving a pile of pine cones. The remaining cones at the top looked like clusters of wood roses.

One day, they were both free, so they went downstairs and picked up a bunch of dead branches, glued them to the branches, and put them in a vase.

Gu Lanxi was very enthusiastic when she made it, but after she finished, she thought the glue smell was too strong, so she put it on the windowsill. The next morning, a curious squirrel came over, tilted its head to look at it, and accidentally pushed it off the building.

Gu Lanxi kept nagging about that 3,600 yuan vase...

Seeing him staring at the person with a lovesick grin, the group realized they hadn't seen each other for a week and started to cheer them on.

Lu Nanting snapped out of his daze, his face remaining calm and composed. He mounted his white horse and walked coolly to Gu Lanxi's side.

He bent down and reached out to touch the small wings on Gu Lanxi's phoenix crown, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The phoenix crown is made of pure gold and inlaid with pearls, jade, and rubies and emeralds, sparkling in the sunlight.

Everyone else thought it looked good, but only Gu Lanxi knew how heavy it really was.

Seeing him reach out his hand, Gu Lanxi smiled and glared at him, telling him not to cause trouble. She then took his hand and shook the reins before walking forward.

The two rode their horses leisurely, circling the manor twice, attracting many onlookers.

She arrived at the grand hall just as the time was up. Gu Lanxi's biological father had long since severed ties with her, so she wouldn't be led down the aisle by her father like in a Western-style wedding.

Inside the auditorium, the members of the folk music ensemble began to play.

Zhou Sinian, the award-winning actor he had just worked with, stood on the stage as the emcee and began his opening remarks:

"Heaven and earth are in perfect order, and phoenixes sing in harmony. Today, in the year of Jia Chen, the month of Bing Yin, and the day of Ji Hai, a propitious time, two families unite in marriage, and the six rites are complete. I, entrusted by guests from all directions, and carrying the gifts of silk and geese, respectfully invite you, esteemed guests, to quietly observe this ceremony—"

A thunderous applause erupted from the audience. When the announcement was made, "Please welcome the newlyweds into the hall!" Gu Lanxi took the fan handed to her by her aunt, glanced at Lu Nanting, and the two stepped onto the red carpet side by side.

"From afar, one can hear the tinkling of jade pendants and the gleaming of robes. The groom, clad in a gold-embroidered python robe, walks with the grace of a mountain; the bride, wearing a rosy shawl and a pheasant-feathered gown, is elegant and graceful."

The female emcee was Li Sijia, a top host from Blueberry TV with an excellent reputation in the industry.

The two walked at a leisurely pace, their eyes glancing out of the corner of their eyes at the blessing gazes of relatives and friends on both sides of the red carpet.

Those taking photos and videos were all busy working in an orderly manner.

The process was similar to every red carpet event, but the feeling was completely different.

The two walked onto the stage, and Zhou Sinian waved his sleeves with great authority: "Please, newlyweds, perform the fan-returning ceremony—"

As rehearsed beforehand, Lu Nanting turned to face her and bowed deeply: "From now on, I wish to spend my days and nights with you. My wife, please guide me for the rest of my life."

After saying that, he moved the fan away.

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh at his earnest, scholarly manner, and then she did.

She stood there quietly, without making a sound, only smiling happily at Lu Nanting after the fan was moved aside.

Bright and dazzling, radiating joy, it looked overflowing with happiness.

The guests were seated below the stage, and the large screen gave the two a close-up shot.

Even though she didn't say anything, the atmosphere instantly became heated.

The guests clapped spontaneously.

Young couples grow old together; they were young and married early, but their fate was truly deep.

This match made in heaven is a blessing that cannot leave anyone unmoved.

To avoid any theatricality, there were no microphones on stage, including for the emcee; everyone just wore an invisible microphone clipped to their chest.

Gu Lanxi smiled brightly, making Lu Nanting unable to look away.

Only when Gu Lanxi tilted her head slightly, looked directly into his eyes, and earnestly replied "Okay," did he look away and turn to his family and friends below the stage.

As soon as they turned around, cheers erupted from the audience.

At this crucial moment, Gu Lanxi suddenly remembered that when she gave a speech at University A, some fans hoped that the two of them could hold a wedding concert.

Lu Nanting also had that idea, but Gu Lanxi was not good at singing and dancing and was afraid of losing face, so she never agreed.

Hearing the repeated "good"s, Gu Lanxi thought of her fans, and her thoughts suddenly changed.

If she puts in the effort to prepare, it might not be that difficult to just sing a few songs and dance a few dances.
Gu Lanxi was thinking about the concert, but Lu Nanting was thinking that people always easily make promises for a lifetime, but few people can truly keep them.

He felt he could do it.

The premise is that the person by his side has always been Gu Lanxi. (End of Chapter)
