Chapter 42: You’re Getting Married, But Not to Me (Dog Head Edition)
Time quietly passed, and without realizing it, the day of the wedding was drawing nearer and nearer.
Shen Kuozhi had been exceptionally thorough in the preparations before the wedding, even making Qi Yue personally choose the groomsmen’s suits.
When Qi Yue signed the cooperation agreement with Shen Kuozhi, he never imagined that he would feel nervous about getting married just for show.
The day before, Shen Kuozhi gave him a stack of invitations, asking him to invite his friends from his side.
The invitations were exquisitely designed. When Qi Yue opened one to write the names of the invitees, he found that Shen Kuozhi’s name was handwritten on each one, with a space left beside it for him to fill in.
There were at least a hundred of these invitations, and Qi Yue flipped through some of them, surprised to find that each one was personally written by Shen Kuozhi.
Shen Kuozhi personally designed the wedding attire, personally decorated the bridal chamber, and took care of the wedding preparations. Didn’t he think it was a waste of time?
Qi Yue’s heart felt complicated at this moment.
Shen Kuozhi was probably the type of person who pursued perfection in everything he did, or maybe it was for the sake of appearances.
After all, the Shen family was a prominent household, and the guests invited were not simple people. If they became the subject of ridicule, it would be a loss of face for them.
Parties held among the upper class were not just simple gatherings; they were opportunities for networking. Few people truly cared about the reason behind such gatherings.
But seeing Shen Kuozhi’s meticulous preparations, Qi Yue subconsciously became serious as well.
After writing the invitations, Qi Yue sent electronic invitations to his friends via WeChat.
However, he didn’t have many friends; he could count them on both hands. So, he planned to personally deliver the invitations to them.
After sending the messages, Qi Yue was surprised to receive immediate replies.
[Smile: 555 Our little darling is getting married, congratulations!]
[Qi Yue: Remember to be my groomsman.]
[Smile: Of course, not to mention the groomsmen’s suits have already been sent to me. If my little Yue Yue is getting married, even if you didn’t invite me as a groomsman, I would still push myself forward shamelessly.]
[Smile: Mischievous.JPG]
[Qi Yue: Thanks.]
After chatting with Lin Xiao and exiting the chat interface, Yang Ling’s chat box lit up with multiple notifications.
[Brother Ling: You’re getting married at the end of the month? Congratulations! I’m looking forward to attending your wedding.]
[Brother Ling: Didn’t expect it to happen so soon. Little brother is getting married, while big brother is still a single dog.]
Upon receiving the electronic invitation from Qi Yue in the morning, Yang Ling’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Although he had known about Qi Yue’s upcoming wedding, there was still a difference between knowing and actually experiencing it.
[Qi Yue: Hahaha, thanks Brother Ling.]
[Qi Yue: Then big brother, you better work hard (Dog Head).]
[Brother Ling: Haha, I’ll do my best.]
With a bitter smile on his face, Yang Ling typed out a string of cheerful words. At this point, he could only silently offer his blessings.
It wasn’t too bad; at least they could still be friends.
Perhaps their fate was destined to end at the level of friendship.

As scheduled, the wedding arrived, and the venue for the outdoor banquet was set on the outskirts of the capital on Shen family’s own property.
It was originally a high-end club, but today, due to the marriage of the Shen family’s second son, it was closed to the public for the entire day to host the wedding.
The wedding ceremony took place on a large open space near the golf course, with all facilities at the venue open to guests throughout the day.
The venue began receiving guests gradually from 8 o’clock in the morning.
Meanwhile, Shen Kuozhi and Qi Yue had already started dressing up and doing their makeup at 6 o’clock.
As Qi Yue’s only groomsman, Lin Xiao also woke up early to accompany Qi Yue.
Qi Yue crawled out of bed at around six o’clock from the hotel near the wedding venue. Without even having breakfast, he began to be attended to by the makeup artist for his grooming.
Lin Xiao had already eaten breakfast before coming over. It was his first time being so closely involved in a wedding, and he had no experience with it at all. He had never imagined that it would take such a long time to prepare.
So, when he came, he didn’t even think about bringing breakfast for Qi Yue.
Although the hotel provided breakfast in the morning, Qi Yue’s side couldn’t leave.
Anyway, before living with Shen Kuozhi, he didn’t have the habit of eating breakfast, so it didn’t matter if he skipped a meal.
The welcoming procession arrived at Qi Yue’s hotel room door a little after nine in the morning.
After all, when they got engaged, he was the one being pressured, so he was passive in the wedding process.
On Shen Kuozhi’s side, there was a lively and large procession, but Lin Xiao kept them outside the door and didn’t let them in.
This was one of the processes of welcoming the bride. According to the rules of the older generation, Shen Kuozhi had to pass the test from Qi Yue’s side before he could be allowed in to receive the bride.
Lin Xiao stood at the door, looking at Shen Kuozhi and the atmosphere around him, smiling mischievously and saying, “Shen Kuozhi, I won’t make things difficult for you. As long as you score ninety points on this test, I’ll let you in~”
Lin Xiao took out a prepared A4 paper and handed it to Shen Kuozhi. The questions on it were all about Qi Yue.
There were questions about what dishes he liked, snacks, favorite clothing brands, habitual actions, recent interests, which school he attended, and other information.
There were multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions, and each question corresponded to a specific score.
These questions were thought up by Lin Xiao and Qi Yue together, but only the two of them knew the answers.
So, regardless of how Shen Kuozhi answered, it all depended on Lin Xiao’s decision.
If he wanted to make things difficult for Shen Kuozhi, he could deliberately say that his score didn’t meet the standard. If he didn’t want to make things difficult, even if Shen Kuozhi’s answers were completely off, he could say that Shen Kuozhi passed, emphasizing his whimsical nature.
Shen Kuozhi took the A4 paper, glanced through it, and although there weren’t many questions on the paper, only twenty, some of them were quite private.
Shen Kuozhi mostly knew the answers to these questions, but in order not to expose himself, he deliberately wrote incorrect answers to the questions that were too private.
But even so, when Shen Kuozhi handed the paper back to Lin Xiao for inspection, it still surprised Lin Xiao a little.
Lin Xiao pointed at the paper, secretly pondering.
It seemed that the relationship between these two wasn’t so superficial after all. Shen Kuozhi seemed to understand Yue Yue quite well.
Could it be that when Yue Yue said their relationship was just average, it wasn’t a lie?!
Lin Xiao’s gaze fixed on the paper, his brows furrowed, and he nibbled on his index finger’s second joint.
Although it wasn’t clear why Lin Xiao had this expression, Shen Kuozhi was confident in his ability to control the scores. He definitely passed.
“Ahem, congratulations, you passed the first test! Now, let’s move on to the second test, a test of compatibility~”
Lin Xiao’s gaze shifted from the paper to Shen Kuozhi, exaggeratedly and maliciously saying, “What’s the happiest thing Lele has experienced recently?
Today’s wedding doesn’t count for now~”
After Lin Xiao finished asking, Shen Kuozhi replied without hesitation, “Taking wedding photos.”
Lin Xiao shrugged, spread his hands, and turned to open the door obediently.
“Congratulations on passing the assessment. Go and meet your future partner~”
Shen Kuozhi nodded at Lin Xiao and said thank you before swiftly and gracefully walking in.
As soon as he entered, Shen Kuozhi saw Qi Yue sitting obediently on the sofa. Even though he had already seen Qi Yue in the wedding attire he had personally designed, Shen Kuozhi’s heart still raced uncontrollably at this moment~
Seeing Qi Yue like this made him feel unusually soft-hearted.
He really wanted to hug him tightly right now, then kiss his soft, tender lips and completely possess him.
Shen Kuozhi slowed his pace, step by step, solemnly approaching Qi Yue.
When he reached Qi Yue, Shen Kuozhi extended his right hand, which was slightly hot from nervousness, towards Qi Yue.
“Yue Yue, will you walk with me?”
Qi Yue responded to Shen Kuozhi with a bright smile, and he placed his hand on Shen Kuozhi’s, saying cheerfully, “Of course~”
The two of them locked eyes in the air, and there was a faint feeling of sparks igniting.
This scene was so beautiful that even the people who came in intending to cheer couldn’t help but lower their voices at this moment, taking out their phones to capture the moment.
It wasn’t until Shen Kuozhi held Qi Yue’s hand and walked towards the door that everyone realized and started cheering.
Qi Yue was led by Shen Kuozhi into the decorated wedding car. Besides the two of them, there was only one driver in the car.
What surprised Qi Yue was that after getting into the car, Shen Kuozhi actually took out a thermal lunchbox from the car.
Shen Kuozhi opened the lunchbox for him and felt the temperature above the lunchbox with his hand.
“You haven’t had breakfast yet, so I prepared this for you. Eat while it’s hot. The upcoming events will require energy, and you might get hypoglycemic if you don’t eat later.”
Qi Yue was stunned when Shen Kuozhi took out the lunchbox. When the lunchbox was opened and handed to him, he instinctively took it and said thank you.
“Eat up. There’s still some time before we arrive.”
Shen Kuozhi looked at Qi Yue’s dumbfounded but cute expression and couldn’t help but gently stroke his head, softly running his hand through Qi Yue’s hair.
Qi Yue nodded and obediently scooped up a spoonful of oatmeal porridge with a pumpkin-shaped spoon, bringing it to his mouth at just the right temperature.
After taking a sip, Qi Yue suddenly remembered something and asked, “Have you eaten yet? Would you like to eat together?”
As soon as he finished asking, Qi Yue regretted it a bit. Wasn’t what he said a bit abrupt? Would Shen Kuozhi misunderstand? He should have refused, right?
Shen Kuozhi was taken aback, not expecting Qi Yue to say such a thing.
He couldn’t let himself be seen as taking advantage of the situation~
“I’ve already eaten, but it was a bit early. I’ll have a sip as well.”
Qi Yue was praying in his heart just a second ago that Shen Kuozhi would refuse him, but he didn’t expect him to actually agree.
Words spoken are like water poured out.
Qi Yue reluctantly handed the lunchbox to Shen Kuozhi.
Instead of taking the lunchbox, Shen Kuozhi moved closer to Qi Yue and naturally took the pumpkin spoon, scooping up a spoonful and bringing it to his mouth.
Qi Yue just stood there dumbfounded, holding the lunchbox, watching Shen Kuozhi finish eating, and then mechanically took the spoon back, drinking up the rest of the porridge.
