Chapter 43 Married Individuals, Please Refrain
As the car steadily came to a stop in the parking lot, the heat on Qi Yue’s face had not yet subsided.
The wedding venue was spacious, and if one wasn’t a regular, it wasn’t easy to navigate.
After getting out of the car, Qi Yue followed Shen Kuozhi closely, although he didn’t say anything, Shen Kuozhi still noticed his nervousness.
A warm hand grasped Qi Yue’s left hand, and the scents of the two individuals quietly blended together.
A warm breath brushed against Qi Yue’s ear.
“Don’t be nervous, I’m here.”
“I’m not nervous.”
Qi Yue stubbornly muttered, unaware of how cute he looked in Shen Kuozhi’s eyes.
Shen Kuozhi smiled warmly at Qi Yue, exuding a sense of joy, his complexion glowing.
People are in high spirits during happy occasions, that’s generally how it goes.
Many luxury cars were already parked in the parking lot. When they arrived at the wedding venue, many guests had already arrived.
Today, there were at least a few hundred tables set up in the venue. After all, the Shen family had a large business network.
However, the seating arrangements were also hierarchical. The main table was reserved for the elders of the Shen family.
Near the main table sat the Shen family’s branches, close friends, and business partners. The proximity of the seats symbolized the closeness of the relationships.
In a typical wedding, as one of the parents of the couple, Qi Yue’s family should have been seated at the main table.
But at Qi Yue’s request, the seats for Qi Yue’s family of three were arranged far away from the main table.
Qi Yue had been resentful towards his family for a day or two. In such an important and formal occasion as a wedding, he didn’t want to compromise himself for the sake of saving face.
If possible, he didn’t even want his family to attend the wedding.
Furthermore, he invited Lin Xiao to sit at the main table, valuing emotional intimacy over shallow biological ties.
In his heart, Lin Xiao had always been like family, so inviting him to sit at the main table was completely reasonable.
However, upon discovering that he was seated far from the top-tier social circle, Qi Weixiong felt discontent.
When Qi Weixiong was escorted to his seat by a waiter, he couldn’t believe it and asked, “Hello, is there a mistake? I am Qi Yue’s father. How could I be seated here? Shouldn’t I be taken to the main table?”
The waiter, questioned by Qi Weixiong, replied gently, “Certainly, Mr. Qi, let me verify for you.”
Qi Weixiong nodded and waited with Guo Xia and Qi Lei standing by, awaiting the answer they desired from the waiter.
After double-checking, the waiter confirmed decisively, “Mr. Qi, your seat and your partner’s seat are indeed here.”
Qi Weixiong couldn’t believe that their seats were actually in this remote location. He was about to explode in anger, but Guo Xia held him back.
Before Qi Weixiong could explode at the waiter, Guo Xia thanked the waiter and let him leave. Then she said to Qi Weixiong:
“Today is a big day for the Second Young Master Shen. With so many people here, we can’t afford to cause any disturbances. Not only would it be disrespectful to the Shen family, but also, think about all the people waiting to see us make fools of ourselves.”
Guo Xia’s words were all true, leaving Qi Weixiong with nothing to refute. But precisely because of this, he felt stifled. He suppressed his anger and muttered helplessly:
“What’s the matter with this Shen family! Just because they have a big business, they think they can disregard us? We are Qi Yue’s parents, they’re really going too far!”
With his hands behind his back, Qi Weixiong exhaled heavily, pacing back and forth to calm himself.
The commotion here had gradually attracted the attention of others, and many people recognized them. After all, their family had become a topic of gossip in the circle recently.
Guo Xia suggested on the side, “Why don’t we call Qi Yue and ask him to talk to the Shen family?”
“Yes, why didn’t I think of that?”
Qi Weixiong clapped his hands and took out his phone from his pocket, dialing Qi Yue’s number.
What he didn’t expect was to hear the message that Qi Yue had already blocked him.
Qi Weixiong couldn’t believe that Qi Yue had the audacity to block him!
He tried calling several times, but the result was the same.
Seeing Qi Weixiong making these calls repeatedly, Guo Xia, standing by, knew that there probably wasn’t any good news.
“How did it go with Qi Yue?” she asked.
“Hmph! What do you think? He didn’t even pick up!” Qi Weixiong, constrained by his pride, didn’t tell Guo Xia that Qi Yue had already blocked him.
“He’s getting married today, there must be a lot going on. His phone probably isn’t with him. Why don’t we just go find him directly in front? Once the wedding ceremony starts, they’ll surely invite us to be witnesses.” Guo Xia linked arms with Qi Weixiong, not exposing his words but suggesting another plan.
Qi Weixiong nodded, “Yeah, let’s go.”
By now, it was already 10:45 in the morning, and most of the guests had arrived. Following the guidance of the waiters, everyone headed to the wedding vow area.
The host on stage had already begun to liven up the atmosphere, and the vow ceremony was about to start.
Qi Weixiong had thought that he would at least be invited on stage to witness the wedding, but he was surprised to find that no one cared about them at all.
The atmosphere at the venue was rendered beautifully, with Mrs. Shen, the elder of the Shen family, standing in the middle to bless the couple.
Mrs. Shen held Shen Kuozhi’s left hand and Qi Yue’s right hand, clasping their hands together, and kindly said, “From now on, the two of you will walk this path together. Support each other as partners, live well together. Grandma is here to wish you both a lifetime of happiness and joy, hahaha~”
“Thank you, Grandma.”
Under the witness of everyone present, they completed the sacred wedding vows.
The scenes of the vow ceremony played vividly in Qi Yue’s mind, over and over again.
“I, Qi Yue/Shen Kuozhi, am willing to take you, Qi Yue/Shen Kuozhi, as my lawful partner. I swear that from this day forward, under any circumstances, whether in hardship or sickness, I will never abandon the vows I make today.”
The affectionate gaze Shen Kuozhi gave him at that moment made him fall for him repeatedly.
Qi Yue couldn’t understand whether it was Shen Kuozhi’s acting skills that were too good, or if he himself had put on a filter under the atmosphere.
After the vows, the newlyweds went to toast with the groomsmen.
Seeing Qi Yue preparing to toast with Shen Kuozhi, Qi Weixiong, who had been ignored for a long time, finally had the chance to talk to Qi Yue.
Guo Xia and Qi Lei were ushered back to their seats, and Qi Weixiong went to find Qi Yue backstage.
“Qi Yue, I need to talk to you.”
After the vows, while Qi Yue and Shen Kuozhi were backstage tidying up, Qi Weixiong walked towards their direction.
But he was intercepted by a waiter halfway there.
“Sir, can I help you with something?”
“No, I’m fine.”
With that, Qi Weixiong tried to bypass the waiter, but to his surprise, he was intercepted again. This time, the waiter explicitly told him that the two newlyweds were there getting ready, and if there was nothing urgent, he shouldn’t go over.
“I’m Qi Yue’s father, I just want to talk to him for a few moments,” Qi Weixiong explained to the waiter, enduring the curious gazes from the surrounding onlookers.
“Okay, let me check for you,” the waiter nodded and spoke softly into his walkie-talkie, then turned back to Qi Weixiong, “I’m sorry, sir, but Mr. Qi is currently unavailable. Please contact him later.”
Qi Weixiong clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
The audacity of that boy! He actually dared to ignore him!
Qi Weixiong waited nearby without leaving. He didn’t believe that Qi Yue could avoid him forever.
It wasn’t long before Qi Weixiong finally caught sight of Qi Yue.
At this moment, Qi Yue and Shen Kuozhi had changed into another set of attire, preparing to toast.
Qi Weixiong stared at Qi Yue as he came out, and he intercepted him immediately.
“Qi Yue, I need to talk to you.”
“Oh, what is it?”
Qi Yue nodded slightly, indicating that Qi Weixiong could speak now.
“Let’s talk privately, come with me.”
“No need, there’s nothing you can’t say in front of others. Just say it here.”
Qi Yue raised an eyebrow, not accommodating Qi Weixiong.
“Qi Yue! Don’t forget that I’m your father. Is this how you talk to me now? You don’t even want to talk to me alone?” Qi Weixiong exclaimed.
“Mr. Qi, didn’t you hear what I said at the wedding?” Qi Yue rolled his eyes at Qi Weixiong, then sneered, “From now on, there is no relationship between us and the Qi family. Please adjust to that.”
“You—you ungrateful child!”
Qi Weixiong was overwhelmed with anger and raised his hand to slap Qi Yue’s fair face.
But as soon as his arm went up, his hands were seized by the waiter.
Shen Kuozhi, standing nearby, stared at Qi Weixiong coldly and threatened, “Mr. Qi, do you have any dissatisfaction with our wedding? If you’re uncomfortable, I can have someone send you back. Qi Yue and I still have to go toast, so I won’t accompany you much longer.”
Qi Weixiong shuddered under Shen Kuozhi’s gaze.
Now that Qi Yue had Shen Kuozhi backing him, he really couldn’t do anything to him.
After Shen Kuozhi finished speaking, he ignored Qi Weixiong and took Qi Yue’s hand, heading straight to the main table.
This little incident with Qi Weixiong didn’t affect them. Shen Kuozhi led Qi Yue to toast at the main table and a few nearby tables, then they formally sat down to start the meal.
Qi Yue and Shen Kuozhi were the protagonists of today. After sitting down, Mrs. Shen invited them to eat.
“You must be hungry after the morning. Eat plenty, children~”
“Thank you, Grandma.”
Although they had only toasted a few tables, and the groomsmen had shielded them from a few more rounds of drinks, Qi Yue still drank several glasses of fine wine. Besides, it was almost on an empty stomach, so he was already feeling a bit tipsy.
Once seated, Qi Yue’s mind was already sluggish, and he just nodded obediently to whatever others said.
He felt someone passing something to him, but he didn’t see it clearly. He just obediently lowered his head and took a bite.
Sweet, very delicious.
After eating the dessert, Qi Yue squinted his eyes, looking blissful.
Shen Kuozhi, who had only intended to pass the dessert to Qi Yue, was completely surprised when Qi Yue directly ate it from his hand.
But what surprised him even more was when Qi Yue licked his fingers, his expression one of pure enjoyment.
Seeing this, Shen Kuozhi felt a rush of heat, wanting nothing more than to immediately capture those tender, pink lips beside him with his own.
“Is it delicious?” Shen Kuozhi’s mischievous thoughts bubbled up, and he leaned closer to Qi Yue, almost whispering into his ear.
