Shen Chi Yan was sincerely making amends, and Song Qi Nian was already very happy to feel his intentions.
She didn't worry about any of the wedding matters; Shen Chi Yan handled everything himself.
The wedding of Shen Chi Yan, CEO of Ding Sheng Group, naturally attracted everyone's attention. Moreover, Shen Chi Yan was quite high-profile, wishing the whole world knew that Song Qi Nian was his wife. He booked all the LED televisions across the country to broadcast their wedding live simultaneously.
Song Qi Nian felt it was too extravagant. In Shen Chi Yan's words, "I'm only having this wedding once, so of course, I want the whole world to know."
Besides, he had earned so much money; why wouldn't he spend it on Song Qi Nian?
Starting three days before the official wedding, major media outlets were reporting on everything, from the wedding venue to the wedding dress Song Qi Nian would wear, and the number of guests to be invited. All of this was a hot topic of public discussion.
The usually low-key financial newspaper was not to be outdone, with its entire cover and featured pages dedicated to Shen Chi Yan's wedding.
Song Qi Nian didn't have many close friends, so she invited Miao Zi Ai and Mu Yu Xin.
Ever since she learned that Guan Yang was getting married, Song Qi Nian had been worried about Mu Yu Xin. But every time she called, Mu Yu Xin insisted she was fine. Fortunately, with their wedding, no matter what Guan Yang did, he wouldn't be able to keep her away.
Song Qi Nian asked Miao Zi Ai, Shen Ke Qin, and Mu Yu Xin to be her bridesmaids.
Shen Chi Yan, on the other hand, had only one best man, Gong Yu Qi.
The main reason was that Yu Si Nian had mobility issues, and Shen Chi Yan didn't want to find anyone else. Only Gong Yu Qi took on the entire responsibility.
Since it was a wedding, the traditional welcoming of the bride was naturally essential.
Song Qi Nian departed from the Song family home. Liu Xiao Han, dressed in a dark red qipao, smiled radiantly.
Song Guan Liang wore a black suit, which Shen Chi Yan had specially tailored for the elderly couple.
Seeing his daughter emerge in her white wedding dress, Liu Xiao Han smiled with pride, while Song Guan Liang's eyes welled up.
He never expected to see his daughter get married in his lifetime.
Liu Xiao Han noticed Song Guan Liang wiping away tears and immediately handed him a tissue, saying, "Oh, it's such a joyous occasion, why are you crying?"
"I'm not crying; these are tears of happiness."
Song Qi Nian looked at her parents, walked over, and hugged them. "Dad, Mom... thank you for everything these past years."
Song Guan Liang patted Song Qi Nian's back. "It's not hard, it's not hard at all. Seeing you get married is our greatest happiness."
Song Jia Shu looked at Song Qi Nian and suddenly felt that Shen Chi Yan was even less worthy of his sister.
He decided he wouldn't let Shen Chi Yan take her away so easily later.
Thus, Song Jia Shu, along with Miao Zi Ai, Shen Ke Qin, and Mu Yu Xin, hatched a plan to thoroughly tease Shen Chi Yan.
Seeing Mu Yu Xin looking happy, Song Qi Nian felt a little relieved. She hadn't had a chance to talk to Yu Xin properly yet. After the wedding, she definitely had to have a heart-to-heart with her.
After their secret plotting, Song Jia Shu looked at Shen Ke Qin and whispered, "Hey, even though Shen Chi Yan is your brother, we're on the same side now. You can't betray us!"
Shen Ke Qin grinned slyly. "Don't worry, I'm a master at messing with my brother."
As it turned out, Shen Ke Qin was truly the best at teasing her brother in the universe.
Miao Zi Ai, being an employee of Shen Chi Yan's company, felt a bit hesitant to go against her boss.
Mu Yu Xin decided to take what she could get, thinking that a few thousand yuan in red envelopes would be enough to call it a day.
But Shen Ke Qin, seeing the two of them about to open the door, immediately stopped them. "Don't be swayed by such petty gains. If my brother doesn't perform some talent today, we can't let him take my sister-in-law away so easily."
For Shen Chi Yan, any problem that money could solve was not a problem at all.
So, the three of them applied all the methods they had devised to tease the groom to Shen Chi Yan.
The first challenge: Love's Thread.
"Brother, here are ninety-nine needles. You have ten minutes to thread all of them onto this red string. This will prove how deep your love for sister-in-law is."
Gong Yu Qi's head spun when he saw the neatly arranged ninety-nine needles. Threading so many needles in ten minutes was impossible even for an immortal.
He glanced at Shen Chi Yan with concern. "Brother, it looks like you might not be able to marry your wife today."
Shen Chi Yan let out a soft哼, handed the other end of the red string to Gong Yu Qi to hold, and began threading the needles himself.
Although Mr. Shen had never done needlework, his dexterity was exceptional. The first few needles were slow, but once he got the rhythm, he sped up, astonishing everyone present.
Including Song Jia Shu.
Song Jia Shu never expected Shen Chi Yan to be this capable.
This scene was streamed online, and everyone on the internet enthusiastically cheered for Shen Chi Yan.
"As expected of the CEO of Ding Sheng Group; even threading needles looks so handsome."
"And he's so fast! This man is invincible. What can't he do?"
"See? A successful man succeeds in everything he does."
"Crazy for Mr. Shen, devoted to Mr. Shen, headbanging for Mr. Shen! Go, Mr. Shen!!!"
Song Qi Nian watched the scene outside through a tablet, a faint, happy smile on her lips. It was the first time she had seen Shen Chi Yan like this—handsome and charming.
Shen Ke Qin and Song Jia Shu exchanged a look. This protagonist Shen Chi Yan, was always up to something.
Shen Ke Qin took the microphone and continued, "Congratulations, Mr. Shen, for passing the first test. The second test is a test of romantic memories. I've already matched the answers with Miss Song. I'll ask, and you'll answer. Ten questions in total. If you get even one wrong, you won't have a wife."
Shen Chi Yan gave Shen Ke Qin a look that said, "Enough," but Shen Ke Qin pretended not to see it.
"First question: What was my sister-in-law wearing when you first met her?"
Shen Chi Yan answered without thinking, "A white down jacket, with a red scarf around her neck."
Shen Ke Qin was somewhat surprised. He remembered such an old detail.
"Second question: What is sister-in-law's favorite dessert?"
Shen Chi Yan: "Matcha cake with mango pomelo sago."
Shen Ke Qin: "What was the first gift sister-in-law gave you?"
Shen Chi Yan paused for a few seconds before slowly replying, "A doll."
Shen Ke Qin glanced at the answer and suddenly burst out laughing. "Haha, wrong answer! Sister-in-law never gave you a doll. The first gift was a pair of cufflinks."
Shen Chi Yan looked at Shen Ke Qin's smug expression and wished he could slap her twice. But then he thought of that gift and smiled faintly. "It was a doll. A doll wearing a suit, a very fierce-looking doll. If you don't believe me, ask Qi Qi."
Shen Ke Qin gave Miao Zi Ai a look, and Miao Zi Ai immediately ran inside to ask Song Qi Nian.
When Song Qi Nian heard Shen Chi Yan's description, she immediately remembered that incident.
At the time, she had given gifts to everyone, and she had also made a character doll for Shen Chi Yan. However, she thought at the time that Shen Chi Yan didn't like her, so she hadn't given it to him.
Later, that doll mysteriously disappeared. It turned out he had taken it.
