Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1684: Chapter 1678: The Wedding

Gu Xu was initially nervous, but seeing his wife at such a crucial moment, casually scrolling through fruit games on her tablet, he couldn’t help but laugh. Especially seeing the little girl so nervous, keeping her head down, not daring to look at him, Gu Xu found this all the more amusing.

He bent down and scooped his wife sideways into his arms, intending to carry her out the door just like that. But just as he picked her up, the little rascal Qibao suddenly darted out from somewhere, wearing a little suit, and laughed with his hands on his hips:

”If you have the guts, take my sister away like that!”

Gu Xu froze upon seeing Qibao’s cheeky demeanor, following everyone’s gaze to Huo Sining’s ankle, and immediately felt annoyed.

The bride was only wearing one shoe; the other was nowhere to be seen.

No need to say, the one behind this mischief must be little devil Qibao!

The bridal party saw this and burst into laughter, Bai Yishan and Su Qingqing even gave Qibao a thumbs-up for the unexpected challenge that no one had anticipated.

”Qibao, your brother-in-law is marrying your sister today. Be good, find the shoe, and whatever you want your brother-in-law to do later, he’ll fulfill your request, okay?”

Gu Xu tried to coax Qibao like a kid, but as soon as he said this, he was met with boos from everyone, and Qibao was clearly unimpressed.

”Don’t try that on me. I’m no three-year-old. Even now, you’re not delivering, and once you marry my sister away, will you still fulfill my wishes? Do you think I’m stupid? I don’t want this empty promise!”

Qibao raised his chin proudly, his eyes rolling around sneakily, clearly plotting something mischievous.

”Alright then, ask for whatever you want.”

Gu Xu felt a bit helpless, knowing this hurdle wasn’t easy to clear.

Qibao grinned triumphantly, glanced at Huo Sining held in Gu Xu’s arms, laughed gleefully, and said: ”My sister said, reciting the Three Obedience and Four Virtues in front, and bribing with red envelopes is not acceptable. So now, I’m representing the Party to test you; Comrade Gu Xu, please seriously recite the Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces!”

Once these words were out, the best men were collectively dumbfounded: ”Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces? Why recite that?”

Gu Xu, although nervous, still had his wits about him. He looked down at the cunningly smiling Huo Sining, knowing his wife was up to her pranks again, and hurriedly shouted to the group of groomsmen:

”Not the Party constitution one, check online quickly, search with your phones!”

Ouyang Jun was the first to react, took out his phone, and quickly started browsing Baidu: ”Found it!”

Gu Xu hurriedly leaned over to look, and upon seeing this so-called Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces, he broke out in a sweat.

The groomsmen, including Qin Tian and Song Hui, were laughing gloatingly, while the bridesmaids, after figuring out what the Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces was, couldn’t stop laughing.

Qibao covered his mouth, chuckling secretly, but after his laughter, he didn’t forget to stress: ”This must be memorized, not read! My sister said only upon reciting can it be proved you’ve memorized these eight lines by heart.”

Gu Xu couldn’t match Huo Sining’s memory, but with his intelligence, he quickly memorized the eight lines within minutes. He placed Huo Sining back on the bed, pinched his nose, and coughed slightly before adopting a serious posture, looking into Huo Sining’s eyes and earnestly reciting:

”To care for one’s wife as honor, to ignore one’s wife as disgrace; to serve one’s wife as honor, to trouble one’s wife as disgrace.

To praise one’s wife as honor, to criticize one’s wife as disgrace; to compete in doing housework as honor, to idle at ease as disgrace.

To come home after work as honor, to stay out all night as disgrace; to be faithful and devoted as honor, to flirt and provoke as disgrace.

To uphold family laws as honor, to violate laws as disgrace; to submit wages as honor, to stash bonuses as disgrace.”

Once these lines were recited, the entire room couldn’t help but burst into laughter, even Huo Sining couldn’t suppress her chuckle.

Originally thinking this would be the end of it, even Gu Xu eagerly looked at Qibao, waiting for the rascal to fetch him the Princess’s glass slipper, but Qibao remained indifferent, his gaze fixed on the bridal party, seemingly waiting to seek their opinion.

Huang Hanyun coughed twice, cleared her throat, and finally spoke up: ”Brother-in-law, you did recite the Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces quite well, but, the ceremony hasn’t taken place yet, my sister isn’t officially your wife yet.”

The groomsmen on the side, hearing Huang Hanyun’s words, knew there was more to come and were instantly riled: ”There’s more? Will this ever end?”

The bridal party, unyielding, stood firmly with hands on hips and retorted: ”Do you want to marry our sister or not? If so, the women have the final say!”

A group of women stood up proudly, and the groomsmen were instantly cowed, hanging their heads, not daring to utter another word.

Gu Xu initially thought he had finally passed the test, only to realize the women were stringing everything together, leaving him resigning with open hands: ”Ladies, I admit my mistake. Whatever demands you have, just make them once, and I will meet them all. Please, for heaven’s sake, let me take my wife home.”

The other bridesmaids heard Gu Xu’s plea, preparing to side with him, but Huang Hanyun remained unmoved, reaching out to stop the would-be traitors, then smiled with a smirk:

”We might let you off indeed. I heard that back in Las Vegas, brother-in-law publicly proposed to our Ningning in front of the world. But we never got a chance to witness the awards ceremony in Las Vegas, and have no clue what it was like back then.”

Speaking up to this point, Huang Hanyun paused her tone and smiled maliciously at Gu Xu: ”I think this might work. Correctly today with so many people present, why don’t you have a live proposal again, and let everyone here witness it, how about it?”

Gu Xu had long lost the strength to resist after being tortured through this process, now just wanting to clear the hurdle quickly and take his wife to the bridal car, so when Huang Hanyun suggested this, he knelt down on one knee in front of Huo Sining without thinking.

Who knows who tossed over a bouquet from the side, Gu Xu caught the bouquet and seriously lifted his head to look at Huo Sining.

Images of Gu Xu defying all odds at the WGC award ceremony, proposing to her flashed in Huo Sining’s mind, and her eyes filled with tenderness, a smile appeared on her face, and she gazed fixedly at Gu Xu.

Huo Sining’s features were already delicate, and with makeup, she looked all the more dazzlingly beautiful. Just this smile alone charmed Gu Xu, leaving him dumbfounded. The heap of emotional words he had prepared that might move everyone in the room to tears were all forgotten in this captivating smile.

Staring into Huo Sining’s sweet gaze, Gu Xu was momentarily stunned, unable to utter a single word.
