General Manager Zhan’s proposal was successful, but the wedding couldn’t be immediately planned.

The main issue was scheduling. Ning Qiuchu had to start filming soon and wouldn’t finish until early November.

Zhan Qingyue was also busy juggling commitments between Zhuosen and Fengyi, and didn’t have the time or energy to prepare for the wedding.

Besides, a wedding isn’t something that can be arranged overnight.

Even though many things could be handled by others, some details needed to be personally involved in to be meaningful.

So, the wedding was finally scheduled for after the New Year.

Ning Qiuxiu’s wedding had Jingjing even more excited than she was.

Jingjing had quit her job as a caregiver, opened her own store, and with Zhou Yang’s business advice, her shop was thriving and she was already planning to open a second location.

As the number one fan of the “Moonlight Party,” her first reaction upon receiving the invitation was to post it on the special topic.

[“The design of this invitation is stunning!”]

[“The president has really made things worse. So jealous!”]

[“President, remember to take lots of photos. We’re all pinning our hopes on you.”]

[“My divine love is finally heading to the wedding hall. I’m showing the proud mother’s smile.”]

[“Ahhhh, I’m more excited than if it were me getting married. Who knows what I’m excited about!”]

Jingjing was satisfied with the wave of jealousy she stirred on Weibo.

Although she jokingly called herself a “proud mother,” in reality, she felt more like a mother seeing her daughter finally getting married, having witnessed their journey together.

Since Ning Qiuxiu’s fall from grace last year, she had cleared all her Weibo posts.

The author of Arrogant Quixiu and Handsome Zhan, known as Meng Meng, also posted on Weibo.

Everyone was shocked!

[“Wow, it’s not a high-quality fake; it’s really the author!”]

[“Ahhhh, Grandma, the author you followed has come back to life!”]

[“Author, please continue Arrogant Autumn and Handsome Zhan. General Manager Zhan’s been pregnant for 11 months. If you don’t update soon, he’ll turn into Nezha!”]

[“Oh my god, how did you get the invitation? Are you an insider?”]

[“Insider +1. Does this mean many of the references in Arrogant Autumn and Handsome Zhan were…?”]

[“Author, aren’t you afraid of being beaten by General Manager Zhan if you go? Maybe you should update before that happens.”]

Jingjing saw that Meng Meng’s repost of her Weibo had attracted all the CP fans’ attention.

Besides some newer CP fans, most people knew about Arrogant Quixiu and Handsome Zhan and recognized the author.

Her Weibo followers had already surpassed 800,000 despite her not posting anything for over six months…

What the fans didn’t know was that Meng Meng had switched to a new account and was lurking among them, following their fan interactions and shipper discussions.

She sent a private message to Meng Meng.

Jingjing: Sis! Do you want to switch back and continue that novel to save the kids?

Meng Meng: No!!!! Spare me, sis. I still want to live and attend the wedding.

General Manager Zhan’s revenge is something only a few can withstand. I’m really afraid of getting beaten to death.

Jingjing: Let’s keep it a secret in the special topic. General Manager Zhan usually doesn’t check Weibo.

As long as no one complains about us in front of him, he’s too busy with his affairs to worry about these small matters.

Meng Meng: It’s not “too busy with affairs,” it’s “busy with Little Fatty Qiu!”

Jingjing: You’re so dirty, haha (handshake).

Mengmeng: Hehehe (handshake)

Mengmeng decided not to continue with that fanfiction but started a new one dedicated to praising President Zhan.

The title is “The Scheming President’s Gentle Love,” so she wouldn’t have to worry about being criticized by him.

Hehehe.

Since Mr. Zhan was particularly traditional and firmly opposed to them getting married abroad, the wedding was held at a garden-style hotel in the city.

Ning’s parents, who had eagerly awaited this day, were tearful when finally handing their daughter over to Zhan Qingyue.

Ning Qiuxiu was on the verge of tears herself but managed to hold them back to avoid ruining her makeup.

She hugged her mother and said, “Mom, don’t be sad. I’ll come back often.”

“I’m not sad, I’m just overwhelmed with emotion. You finally got Qingyue to commit. I’ve been worried sick for the past two years, and look at all this gray hair from worrying.”

Ning Qiuqiu: “……”

Goodbye!

The wedding was a modest affair with only close family and friends due to the venue’s limitations.

Zhan Qingyuan was supposed to be Zhan Qingyue’s best man, but Mr. Zhan refused, claiming that their age difference was inauspicious.

Zhan Qingyuan was furious but dared not argue, only seething in silence.

As Zhan Qingyue and Ning Qiuxiu walked down the rose-petal-covered aisle towards their happily ever after, someone approached Zhan Qingyuan quietly.

It was a tall, elegant woman, probably a friend of Ning Qiuxiu.

Zhan Qingyuan, ever the playboy, felt intrigued and approached her, trying to strike up a conversation. “How do you find the wedding?”

“Good.” The woman was succinct.

She seemed cold and aloof, which was a refreshing change from the usual sweet or regal types Zhan Qingyuan was used to.

“It’s fate to witness such a beautiful wedding, don’t you think? How about we get to know each other?”

“No need to get to know each other,” she said coldly. “I’m here to keep an eye on you. No need to get too familiar.”

“Keep an eye on me?” Zhan Qingyuan chuckled. “Could it be that one of your friends has a crush on me and you’re here to make sure I don’t get involved with anyone else? Unfortunately, I’m only interested in you right now.”

The woman scoffed. “Don’t get ideas. From your expression, it seems you have some emotional entanglement with the bride. You might be a threat to the wedding.”

Zhan Qingyuan: “???”

What the heck?

Just because he was upset about not being the best man does not mean he had any ill intentions toward the bride.

If she thought that, what about everyone else?

Zhan Qingyuan glanced around and noticed some people giving him strange looks, especially Ning’s mother, who seemed to be glaring daggers at him instead of focusing on her daughter’s wedding.

Zhan Qingyuan: “……”

I’m more wronged than Dou E (a historical figure known for her unjust suffering).

“Ling Shan, you’re here! Let’s go closer to enjoy the festive atmosphere. They say it helps speed up finding a partner,” a young girl came running up to her, breaking Zhan Qingyuan’s train of thought.

“……Nonsense!” This was the shared thought of Zheng Lingshan and Zhan Qingyuan at the same time.

However, the man’s playboy appearance was genuinely annoying.

Zheng Lingshan didn’t want to stay with him any longer.

She shot Zhan Qingyuan a warning glance, implying that if he dared to do anything inappropriate, she wouldn’t let him off.

Perhaps Zheng Lingshan’s fierce gaze actually made Zhan Qingyuan feel a bit pleased.

Damn, a tigress!

“Lingshan, why did you glare at Young Master Zhan just now? Did he offend you?”

Zheng Lingshan was taken aback: “He’s Young Master Zhan?”

“Yeah, didn’t you know?”

She didn’t.

She was a guest invited by the bride’s side, and only knew the bridegroom’s side vaguely.

Zheng Lingshan frowned. She had made a mistake.

Meanwhile, the bride and groom had just exchanged their rings, and the groom was kissing the bride. The entire room erupted in applause.

Jingjing couldn’t help but cry: “Wuwuwu, it’s so happy, the CP I love has finally achieved happiness.”

Zhou Yang silently handed her a tissue. Normally reserved, he finally had some “emotional intelligence” and said, “So, when do you plan to let me achieve happiness too?”

Jingjing replied, “Can you not bring up such topics when I’m crying so ugly? How can I promise you then?”

Zhou Yang: “……”

Women… really hard to understand.

After the wedding, it was time for the banquet. On this happiest but also most exhausting day, the bride and groom, after finishing all the ceremonies and returning to their room, found it was already 10 p.m.

Their bridal suite was in the hotel’s top-floor presidential suite.

The night view was beautiful, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a view of the city lights and the starry sky.

Unfortunately, no one was left to appreciate the view.

Ning Qiuxiu, having just finished her shower, lay down on the bed—completely exhausted.

Weddings were truly tiring! Wearing those incredibly high heels all day made her feel like she was walking on someone else’s feet.

So when Zhan Qingyue finished his shower, she called out, “Little Yuezi, give me a foot massage.”

“……” Zhan Qingyue raised an eyebrow. They had just gotten married, and now this?

But he didn’t say anything. Instead, he played along and said, “Alright.”

He walked over, lifted Ning Qiuxiu’s white feet, placed them on his lap, and began to gently massage them.

“Ahh… Mmm, so comfortable… Hmm.”

Zhan Qingyue: “……”

You seem to be moaning!

Ning Qiuxiu was genuinely so comfortable that she almost moaned.

She picked up her phone, ready to post a new wedding Weibo, but struggled with wording.

After many edits and deletions, she was still unsatisfied.

With Zhan Qingyue’s massage making her even more relaxed, Ning Qiuxiu decided to just go with a simple, straightforward post.

[Ning Qiuxiu]: “For the rest of our lives, whether it’s wind or snow, or the mundane… finally brought that man home hahaha.”

Fans: ???

This was the most ridiculous and toxic female star they had ever supported.

If they weren’t poisoned to death, it must be due to their strong resilience.

Zhan Qingyue continued massaging her for a while.

Seeing that she was so comfortable she was almost falling asleep, his hands started to stray, slowly moving up her white legs.

Ning Qiuxiu kicked him and murmured, “Don’t slack off.”

Zhan Qingyue: “I’m just slacking off, so what?”

Ning Qiuxiu: “……”

Zhan Qingyue smiled confidently, looking at her with burning eyes, and said, “Not only did I slack off, but I also stole your heart.”

“…… Was the complete dialogue something like this: I scold you as a thief, and then you say yes, please lock me up in your heart for a lifetime.”

Zhan Qingyue: “……”

Thinking too much.

But Ning Qiuxiu, the master of ruining the mood, successfully destroyed the originally romantic atmosphere.

Romance was no longer possible, so Zhan Qingyue simply pushed her onto the bed and, with somewhat crude words, said, “Stealing isn’t enough for a lifetime sentence. Maybe if I just sleep with you, that might be more promising.”

Ning Qiuxiu: “……”

She wanted to argue, but Zhan Qingyue had already silenced her deeply.

The silly couple’s wedding night started off silly as usual.

In order to ensure a lifetime sentence, Zhan Qingyue repeatedly tired her out until Ning Qiuxiu begged for mercy before he finally let her rest.

After a bath, Ning Qiuxiu lay back on the bed completely exhausted.

Zhan Qingyue, however, was still in good spirits. He leaned over and bit Ning Qiuxiu’s ear, softly laughing, “Now you’re locked in my heart for a lifetime, Qiuxiu.”
