Not sneaking around, just holding my wife's little hand

  Before that, Song Yu thought it would affect his driving, but after seeing that, he liked this little action of his.

  Song Yu's left hand intertwined with his, her ten fingers clasped together, she lifted his hand to her lips and gently pressed a kiss onto the back of his hand.

  Her lips were soft and moist, and the feeling of them sticking to the back of his hand was very comfortable.

  After he put his hand down, Qi Chengzhi also pulled her hand over and kissed the back of her hand and the palm of her hand.

  Song Yu thought back and realized that he had done the same thing on their first day of confirming their relationship.

  ……

  ……

  Jian Yi and Qi Cheng Yue's wedding was held in the Wang Dynasty, although Qi Cheng Yue was marrying down, Jian Yi's family wasn't a big shot either. However, due to the Qi family's status being displayed here, they booked the entire Wang Dynasty and also invited prominent figures from all walks of life.

  However, due to the huge difference in social status between the two families, according to traditional customs, the parents of the bride and groom should sit at the same table, but today they sat separately.

  On the Qi side, seated were Old Master and Mistress Qi, Mr. and Mrs. Qi Zhongliang, Mr. and Mrs. Qi Zhongxun, Qi Chenglin, and Qi Youxuan, with two seats still empty, while Qi Chengji was in the army and would arrive later.

  On Jian's side were Jian Yi's parents and his uncles' families.

  Although this was arranged by the Qi family, Zhou Mingyan was not very happy in her heart, always feeling that the other party looked down on them, but she didn't dare to show it here.

  They don't have a lot of relatives and friends here, they've already called everyone they can think of, including many colleagues from the same department, as well as Jianyi's classmates.

  The Qi family side has many more people, not just the Qi family members, but also other families have come, all for the sake of Old Master Qi's face.

  Facing so many dignitaries, Zhou Mingyan was also nervous, seeing such a grand occasion for the first time, wearing her best clothes, carrying the Hermès Birkin bag given by Qi Chengyue, sitting in the chair, her eyes kept looking towards the direction of the main gate.

  "What are you looking at?" Jian Shibo pulled gently on Zhou Mingyan's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

  "Let me see if Song Donglin and Yu Qianying have arrived." Zhou Mingyan impatiently waved him away, stretching her neck to look around.

  Jian Shibo shook his head and stopped paying attention to her.

  After watching for a long time, Zhou Mingyan also felt bored and coldly snorted: "I think they didn't dare to come in the first place, it's true. The people here all knew them before, so isn't coming now just asking for humiliation? Yu Qianying actually blamed Qi Jia for not helping them, why should they help?! It's really unreasonable."

  As soon as the words fell, the whole room suddenly whispered to each other, and everyone's whisper was not loud, but when they whispered at the same time, the sound superimposed on each other also became noticeable.

  "What's going on?" Zhou Mingyan looked over in surprise, and saw Qi Chengzhi holding Song Yu's hand, walking over from the middle aisle. "How did Song Yu get here? Who is the man next to her?"

  Look at those eyebrows and eyes, they somewhat resemble those of the Qis.

  Wang Yifeng is Jian Yi's university roommate, and the two have been in contact after graduation. Several of their dormitory friends are from City B or work in City B, so they often gather together. They all accepted the invitation to attend Jian Yi's wedding, thinking it would be a good opportunity to meet more people.

  Another classmate at the same table had just handed out cigarettes, and Wang Yifeng was about to light up when he saw Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu walking in together. The lighter "clattered" onto the table.

  Isn't the person with Song Yu the one who crashed into his car, that psycho?!

  Then, Qi Chengzhi brought Song Yu to the main table on the Qi family's side and considerately pulled out a chair for Song Yu, "Sit down."

  "How did she end up sitting at the main table!" Zhou Mingyan exclaimed in a voice that was both shocked and angry.

  Fortunately, at this time, the whispers around her were quite loud, which suppressed her voice.

  "What right does she have to sit with the Qis!" Zhou Mingyan lowered her voice, her shoulders trembling with rage. "We are the groom's parents and haven't even sat down yet, what right does she have to sit down?"

  Qizhong Liang's face suddenly fell, he didn't expect that on such an important day, when guests were gathering, Qichen actually brought Song Yu out in public!

  Most of the people present were familiar with Song Yu, wasn't this openly revealing their relationship?

  This made the whole Qi family lose face!

  "What's wrong with you!" Xiatian's face was tense, her lips didn't open too wide, and her voice was tight.

  "Come attend the wedding!" Qi Chengyi was calm and composed, pouring a cup of tea for Song Yu, every move considerate.

  "Do I need to spell it out for you? I don't agree with your relationship!" Qi Zhongliang said in a cold voice, his eyes fixed on Song Yu's face. "Song Yu, I've always thought you were a kid who knew how to behave. What kind of occasion is this today, you're not unaware, and yet you still choose to appear together with Cheng Zhi, what impact will that have? You know it too. Are you doing this on purpose to make our family look bad?"

  "Don't rush to her." Qi Chengzhi said lightly, "It was my idea to bring her here, just to let everyone know that she is my girlfriend and has always been the only one. It also saves you from introducing me to other women and avoids misunderstandings. If you're not welcome, I can take her away now if you want."

  Qī Zhòngliáng's jaw was tightly clenched. If Qī Chéngzhī were to take Sōng Yǔ away right now, the rumors would spread even more!

  "Alright!" Old Master Qi said with a mouthful of tea, "Since you're here, just sit down and don't make a fuss. It's a happy day, no need to be noisy!"

  The old man spoke up, and Qi Zhongliang had no choice but to fall silent with a difficult expression, saying nothing more.

  At this time, there was another family with a face more difficult than Qi Zhongliang's.

  Yu Keyao secretly pulled Liang Lihua, who was sitting next to her. Due to the people at the same table, they couldn't say anything even if they were angry. Liang Lihua's gaze returned from the Qi family's table and patted Yu Keyao's hand, telling her to bear with it.

  ……

  ……

  Zi Chengyue was still in the dressing room, letting the makeup artist do the final touches. The door to the dressing room creaked open a few times before Guan Xiaolin walked in.

  "Cheng Yue, you look really beautiful today." Guan Xiaolin walked over, her eyes full of smiles as she looked her up and down, "As expected, the bride is indeed the most beautiful."

  "Thank you." Qi Chengyue smiled happily with two dimples, "Is everything okay outside?"

  "It's great, everyone is here, there are a lot of guests, it's very lively, and all the families are giving face, many important people have come." Guan Xiaolin said, looking at Qi Chengyue hesitantly again, wanting to speak but stopping herself, with a troubled expression.

  "What's wrong?" Qi Chengyue furrowed her brow and waved away the makeup artist who was about to powder her neck.

  "It's... it's your brother bringing Song Yu along, sitting at the main table on the bride's side. The other guests outside are all surprised, didn't expect Qi Chengzhi to bring Song Yu here, and just my table alone, they all recognized Song Yu, and were all wondering wasn't she Qi Chengyi's fiancée in the past? How did she appear again with Qi Chengzhi after so many years of no news about their bankruptcy? These are all their original words." Guan Xiaolin placed her hand on Qi Chengyue's exposed shoulder, softly comforting, "But you don't have to mind it, today's protagonist is you, she can't steal your thunder."

  Qī Chéng Yuè jumped up, glaring furiously at Guān Xiǎo Lín, "What about my uncle and aunt's reaction? Didn't they drive Sōng Yǔ away?"

  "This... our table is a certain distance from the main table, so I'm not quite sure what's going on, but I just saw them talking for a few sentences, and then Song Yu just sat there until I came to find you, didn't see her leave, probably won't be leaving."

  "Go and get my parents over here!" Qi Chengyue said to one of the makeup artists.

  "Now that Aunt and Uncle are coming over, I won't interfere with your private matters." Guan Xiaolin also followed the makeup artist out.

  She went to the main table with the makeup artist, whispered a few words in Guan Liya's ear, and Guan Liya's expression changed slightly. She glanced at Song Yu and immediately got up and followed the makeup artist away hastily.

  As soon as they entered the rest room, Qi Chengyue coldly drove out all the wedding staff.

  "Mom, why didn't you drive Song Yu away? Today is my wedding day, but she came and stirred up trouble, making everyone talk about it. What's the point of this? Is she intentionally trying to ruin things for me?"

  "This is your elder brother's family matter, and it's up to your uncle and his wife to handle it. What can we do about it? Besides, your uncle has already made it clear that he doesn't welcome her, but who knew she had such a thick skin, and actually dared to stay here, with your elder brother protecting her, no one can do anything about it. Even the old master said just let them stay, or else if we drive them away now, the rumors will be even worse." Gu Liya explained, feeling disgusted in her heart.

  It's the day of her own daughter's great joy, what is Song Yu doing here causing trouble!

  "This matter can only be settled after the wedding is over." Gu Liya rubbed Qi Chengyue's shoulder to comfort her, "You should calm down first and don't bother about Song Yu. Today is your big happy day, there's no need to ruin your mood for someone who doesn't matter. The bride has to look beautiful and radiant, you can't walk the red carpet with a gloomy face, it won't look good if people see you like that. It's your own special day, you have to take care of yourself, understand?"

  Zi Chengyue was unwillingly pressed back into his chair by Guan Liya, but he couldn't laugh anymore.

  "Smile quickly." Gu Liya coaxed and persuaded, calling the makeup artist to come in and touch up Qi Chengyue's makeup. "Jian Yi is waiting outside right now, if you still have this face when you walk the red carpet with your dad later, what will Jian Yi think?"

  "Is Jian Yi outside? Did he see Song Yu?" Qi Chengyue's face suddenly changed.

  "No, he can't be waiting at the scene, the wedding hasn't started yet." Gu Liya found it strange that Qi Chengyue's reaction was so big, "He just arrived at the red carpet entrance and is waiting outside to start."

  It wasn't easy to calm down Qi Chengyue, and Guan Liya didn't dare to leave easily either. When everything was ready, someone came to call the bride over, and Guan Liya accompanied Qi Chengyue to the red carpet entrance, where Qi Zhonghuan was waiting to take her in.

  Jian Yi stood at the end of the red carpet, and before the wedding march had even begun, he saw Song Yu, but Song Yu's position was facing away from him, and she hadn't looked in his direction at all.

  Her gaze slightly lowered, she saw that the two of them were still holding hands under the table.

  At this time, City B has already stopped heating, but there is still central air conditioning in the venue, and the temperature is still comfortable. The two hands are still holding each other like this, Song Yu's palm is sweating under his grasp, feeling wet and embarrassed, wanting to let go, but he won't release.

  "Sweat is all over my palms." Song Yu said in a low voice.

  Qī Chéng's face didn't change color, he grabbed her hand and rubbed it against his pants twice, then rubbed his own palm twice, and continued to hold hers. Sōng Yǔ secretly glanced at him, her face red as she thought to herself, "Why does this man always have to hold her hand wherever they go?"

  When she withdrew her gaze, she inadvertently caught sight of the old man, who was staring at her with wide eyes. Seeing the two whispering to each other and noticing that Song Yu's face had turned red, his expression sank, and in a low, displeased tone he said: "What are you two doing sneaking around with your hands down there? Don't you worry about being laughed at?"

  Song Yu immediately wanted to pull her hand back, but Qi Chengzhi still held on tightly, instead lifting his hand from his leg to the table surface, openly and uprightly holding her hand on the table.

  "There's no sneaking around, I just held my wife's small hand." Qi Cheng said calmly, and even pinched it afterwards.

  "You're not even married yet, what's with the 'wife'!" The old man glared at the two.

  "It's just a matter of time." Qi Chengzhi curled his lips.

  "Allowing Song Yu to sit here is already our bottom line, don't overstep!" Qi Zhongliang felt as if the eyes around him had all turned to look, and saw how especially intimate Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu were being.

  "Alright, if you can't stand it, we can leave now." Qi Chengzhi said calmly, rendering Qi Zhongliang speechless.

  If they could leave, they would have left earlier, why wait until now when the wedding is about to start?

  Zi Chengzhi was about to get up, Guan Liya also rushed back, seeing the atmosphere was not right, and asked: "What's wrong?"

  "Sit still!" Qi Zhongliang warned, staring at him.

  Zi Cheng has lifted up half of his buttocks and then put it back down, pouting, still holding onto Song Yu's hand.

  At this time, the wedding march also sounded, and the big door at the head of the red carpet opened. Qi Zhongxun walked in with Qi Chengyue.

  Watching her daughter put on a white wedding dress, looking so pure and slender, she felt that yesterday was still a little baby eating milk on her leg, today to get married, form a family of her own, and have children of her own, Guan Liya's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

  She hastily picked up the paper towel on the table and quietly wiped away the hot tears welling up in her eyes.

  Even Song Yu admitted that today's Qi Chengyue was really beautiful and moving, looking at her like this, she also couldn't help but forget her usual arrogance.

  No wonder people say the bride is the most beautiful.

  Qī Chéng Yuè's gaze had been on Jiǎn Yì all along, and at this moment, she even forgot about Sòng Yuè. When she realized that Jiǎn Yì was also staring at her, she let out a sigh of relief.

  Until Jian Yi said "I do", Qi Chengyue breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but want to cry, and her eyes became moist.

  When asked about it, she didn't hesitate at all and quickly said yes, exchanging rings with Jian Yi.

  Song Yu looked on, and couldn't help but wonder if she and Qi Cheng would have a day like this. As she watched, her gaze became somewhat fixed, and her thoughts wandered.

  Her hand was suddenly pinched, feeling a slight pain, Song Yu let out a "hiss" and came back to her senses, only to see Qi Chengzhi's face looking at her with an unpleasant expression. His dark eyes were deep and profound, both mocking and severe. Originally holding her hand, he now put his arm around her waist and pinched her again.

  "Are you envious?" Qi Chengzhi leaned in close to her ear, his low and husky voice tinged with coldness.

  At this moment, however, the two of them looked like they were deeply in love, as if they were sharing a lover's intimate whispers.

  Song Yu secretly crawled to his lower back, exerted force and twisted it hard, retaliating against his messy eating of vinegar, as well as pinching her hand earlier. Although he didn't use much strength earlier, this messy eating behavior still made her quite angry.

  "I'm so envious of people wearing wedding dresses!" Song Yu said softly, looking at Qi Cheng's handsome face and suddenly blushing, "I just thought..."

  "What are you thinking about?" Chi Chengzhi saw her face suddenly flush with such a beautiful and delicate complexion, her eyes misting over with a lovely water vapor, and she was too shy to look at him, her heart moved, and her expression softened, her clear and elegant eyebrows slowly spreading with a smile like ink in water.

  "There's nothing." Song Yu twisted and turned, but couldn't get out of his arms.

  His lips brushed against her earlobe, rubbing against the fine and short fluff on top of it, and asked again, "What were you thinking just now?"

  Song Yu quickly glanced at him, and his mocking smile made her face even redder, as if he had seen through her thoughts. She was embarrassed, tightly closing her lips without saying a word.

  "Wouldn't it be interesting if we were to switch places?" As soon as Qi Chengzhi said this, his lips felt the scorching heat of Song Yu's earlobe, and his originally stern lips slowly curved into a gentle arc.

  Seeing Song Yu not speaking, he whispered jokingly: "Want to marry me so much?"

  Song Yu was moved by his words, just now watching Jian Yi and Qi Chengyue say "I do" and exchange rings, she didn't feel any discomfort, instead, she involuntarily replaced the scene with her and Qi Chengzhi, thinking about what it would be like if she and Qi Chengzhi got married.

  Her face was so red it seemed like it would explode, her head hung so low it couldn't go any lower, and she habitually wanted to hide in his neck, but he teased her until she actually forgot where they were.

  Because she was wrapped around his waist, almost her whole body leaned against his chest, her eyes staring at his sturdy chest, and the scent of his body smelled refreshing, the whole person was dizzy and couldn't find her way.

  "Cough!" Old Master Qi suddenly let out a loud cough and lowered his voice to warn in anger, "Be more mindful of your surroundings!"

  Song Yu Meng suddenly came back to her senses, only to realize that she was almost crawling into Qi Cheng Zhi's arms. Song Yu Meng felt embarrassed and her scalp went numb, not daring to look at the faces of the Qi family members sitting across from her, knowing their expressions must be very unsightly.

  They might as well have said outright: "You should be ashamed of yourselves!"

  Song Yu quickly pulled Qi Chengzhi's hand away from her waist, but the scene of the two of them being so intimate had already been seen by many people.

  Zhou Mingyan's eyes were gritted, just now she heard the conversation at the next table, saying that the one who walked in hand in hand with Song Yu was the eldest grandson of the Qi family and also the future successor of the Qi family. If Song Yu had not unexpectedly broken off her engagement with Qi Chengji back then, he would be her elder brother-in-law now.

  Now it's all good, these two people have come together.

  "I didn't think Song Yu was this kind of person!" Zhou Mingyan couldn't swallow this tone, her eyes always condemningly staring at the two who were sticky together regardless of occasion. "Previously, Yu Qianying wasn't saying she liked our Jianyi? She used to run to our house every day, everyone thought she liked Jianyi. This is great, as soon as Jianyi got married, she found someone else, fickle!"

  Because Jian Yi married Qiji's daughter, their family had unprecedented face, and all relatives fawned on them. Zhou Mingyan's confidence soared for a time.
