Chapter 1194: The Wedding in Progress

When He Jinxuan and the others arrived at the entrance of the railway bureau cafeteria, the place was already bustling with noise and excitement.

Since both families organized the event together, there were indeed many guests.

He Jinxuan pulled Xinyan along, joining Father and Mother He in the welcoming lineup.

The He Family also witnessed the character and connections of the Han Family.

For a moment, they each reassessed Xinyan in their hearts.

Fortunately, although He Jinxuan’s guests were fewer than the Han Family’s, there were still a considerable number, which gave the He Family a new impression of He Jinxuan.

Xinyan’s side, since school hadn’t started yet, consisted mainly of people related to her master and a few employees working with her.

Only Jiang Peiqin and Su Yuelan, who rushed over from Tianjin upon receiving the news, had come.

Jiang Peiqin had arrived earlier with Xinyan’s personal belongings and, upon hearing that the groom and the bride had arrived, quickly pulled Su Yuelan out to meet them.

Su Yuelan approached Xinyan and gave her a big hug: "Xinyan, congratulations! You’re the most beautiful and elegant bride I’ve ever seen."

Xinyan was amused by her words: "Though a bit exaggerated, I’ll take the compliment. Thank you.

And thank you for coming all the way from Tianjin to attend my wedding."

Su Yuelan beamed brightly: "Given our relationship, I just had to be here to witness your moment of happiness."

Feeling a bit regretful about the others from the dorm who couldn’t make it, she added: "It’s just a pity they’re too far away to come."

But she quickly raised her camera: "Anyway, I brought my camera today and will take lots of pictures to let them feast their eyes when they return."

Xinyan, in her small high-heeled shoes, was worried she might get tired from standing too long. He Jinxuan said to Jiang Peiqin, who was standing nearby, "Jiang, could you please fetch the flat shoes from the bag you brought earlier so she can change into them?"

Jiang Peiqin didn’t expect He Jinxuan to be so considerate, as he had handed her the bag when she was leaving, only mentioning it contained items Xinyan needed.

Now it seemed He Jinxuan had packed it himself, and Xinyan evidently had no idea.

After fetching the shoes for Xinyan, she remarked, "Your He Jinxuan is indeed very thoughtful, thinking of everything for you."

Xinyan was about to tease her when she noticed Ling Wenhao approaching: "Alright, stop envying me; your childhood sweetheart is here for you."

Jiang Peiqin followed Xinyan’s gaze and saw Ling Wenhao walking towards her.

Embarrassed, Xinyan handed the shoes she had changed out of to her, joking, "Here’s your chance for some alone time, seize it."

Jiang Peiqin shot her a glare and disdainfully looked at the shoes handed over: "Some friend you are, asking me to do hard labor while making it sound so grand."

With that, she cheerfully called out to Ling Wenhao: "Come on, let’s go take care of something together."

Ling Wenhao nodded at He Jinxuan and Xinyan, offered his blessings, and then went to join her.

Xinyan watched their retreating figures with a smile in her eyes.

Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing were busy greeting the guests, frequently pulling Xinyan and He Jinxuan over for introductions.

People kept coming over to offer their blessings, and Xinyan and He Jinxuan were endlessly thankful, their faces almost stiff from smiling.

As the guests seemed to have mostly arrived, Han Jingchen looked at He Jinxuan, "Most of the guests are here, let’s head inside."

Han Jingchen and He Jinxuan, both having served in the military, entered to a sea of one-quarter green uniforms.

Aside from Mr. An, who presided as the officiant, Han Jingchen’s old partner Yue Yiming acted as the master of ceremonies.

Once the couple took the stage, Yue Yiming praised them enthusiastically, almost to the point of putting them on an unattainable pedestal, making the couple quite embarrassed.

Yue Yiming skillfully lightened the mood: "Don’t think I’m exaggerating, the truth is they’re as outstanding as I said. Let’s give a round of applause to the newlyweds, wishing them a happy marriage and early children, love and unity, heart and soul always united."

Once the applause died down, he continued, "Next, let’s invite the groom’s parents to the stage."

After a brief introduction, Yue Yiming turned with a smile to Mother He: "First, we ask the groom’s mother to offer her blessings to the couple."

Mother He was extremely nervous: "Support each other, live well, and keep improving together."

Seeing her reach her limit, Yue Yiming quickly chimed in: "Well said. Now let’s hear a few words from the groom’s father, Mr. He Sanqiang."

Before the wedding banquet, Yue Yiming had reminded them of this segment so they could prepare.

Mr. He hadn’t anticipated such a grand wedding for his third son, proud of his son and proud to have such a son: "I am He Jinxuan’s father, He Sanqiang. Thank you all for joining us in celebrating the wedding of Jinxuan and Xinyan despite your busy schedules."

Noticing Mr. He’s nervousness, worried he’d not be ready, Yue Yiming took over: "Any words for your son and daughter-in-law?"

He looked to the couple: "Jinxuan, now that you’re married, take on your responsibilities, and treat Xinyan well."

Then he turned to Xinyan: "Xinyan, let me say thank you. Jinxuan is in your hands now. Respect and love each other, grow together, and lead a happy life."

The couple nodded in unison: "Dad, we’ll remember that."

Yue Yiming stepped forward with a smile: "Such plain and sincere parents, such plain and sincere advice. I’m confident this couple will stride forward together for eternal happiness."

Finishing, he turned to Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing: "Next, let’s welcome the bride’s parents to offer their blessings to the couple."
