After everyone finished taking pictures, Ginseng Doll said to Shen Xuening, "Can I take a picture with you alone?"

Shen Xuening immediately agreed: "Of course, I'll film with you right away."

Shen Baohong said, "Shall I take the photos for you?"

Ginseng Doll still trusted Shen Baohong's skills, so she nodded: "Okay, take some good pictures, and we'll develop them and make an album when we get back, okay?"

Shen Baohong readily agreed: "Sure, I can also make an electronic photo album for you and transfer it to your phone."

The ginseng baby said gratefully, "Thank you so much."

"A piece of cake." Shen Baohong waved his hand and laughed. "This is something I'm good at, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to it so readily."

The ginseng doll promised, "I will give you a reward when we get back."

Shen Baohong asked casually, intrigued, "What kind of compensation?"

The ginseng doll raised an eyebrow mysteriously: "You'll find out when the time comes. I promise you won't be disappointed."

“Okay.” Shen Baohong didn’t take it seriously and immediately put it out of his mind. After all, what could a child possibly have? Just some snacks, which weren’t valuable.

Then, Shen Baohong took many, many photos of Shen Xuening and the ginseng doll, dozens of them.

After the photos were taken, Ginseng Doll leaned against Shen Baohong to look at them. He was very satisfied: "Your photography skills have improved again. Every single one is beautiful."

Shen Xuening chimed in, "Indeed, the filming is getting better and better."

Shen Baohong laughed heartily: "Of course! This is my livelihood now, how could it be anything less?"

After the photo session ended, it was already 10 o'clock, and some guests had already arrived, so we had to prepare to welcome them.

When welcoming guests, both sets of parents accompany the newlyweds to greet them at the door as a sign of courtesy.

Just then, Qin's mother and father led a few others to the front gate, where Qin's two great-grandfathers arrived with some of their descendants.

Qin's father and mother called out, "Second Grandpa, Second Grandma, Third Grandpa, Third Grandma."

Qin Zizhou led Shen Xuening in calling out, "Second Great-Grandpa, Second Great-Grandma, Third Great-Grandpa, Third Great-Grandma."

Shen Dong and Liu Juan addressed Qin's father and mother in the same way.

Then the younger generation greeted the elders.

Qin Er Tai Nai took Shen Xue Ning's hand and smiled kindly, "Xue Ning, it's a pleasure to meet you. Welcome to the Qin family and become a member of our family."

Shen Xuening smiled politely and said, "Second Grandmother, thank you. I will remember what you said to me today."

Qin San Tai's grandmother also smiled and said, "Xue Ning, your grandma has always praised you, showing us your photos and videos. She treats you like a treasure."

Mother Qin was beaming with joy and said, "Xue Ning is the darling of our whole family. It is a blessing for our Qin family that she is willing to join us."

"Yes, yes, yes." Grandma Qin chuckled. "Xue Ning, look how protective your mother is of you."

Shen Xuening said, "My aunt has always been very good to me."

Qin San Tai Nai patted Shen Xue Ning's shoulder: "You should change how you address her. Look how good your mother is. She thinks of everything for you. You and Zi Zhou must live a good life together."

Shen Xuening smiled slightly and said, "We will."

Grandma Qin smiled and nodded: "Yes, congratulations."

Mr. Qin smiled and said, "Elders, shall I take you to sit down?"

The group smiled and nodded: "Okay."

As soon as they arrived, the guests seemed to have been notified and began to arrive one after another...

The entire hotel was booked by the Qin family today. The two-story parking lot began to fill with guests' cars one after another. They were all luxury cars, worth hundreds of millions of yuan, more luxurious than a car show, dazzling to the eye.

Doorman A said to doorman B, "Today I've driven more luxury cars than all of them combined."

Doorman B said smugly, "I just drove a Rolls-Royce."

Doorman A said, "I've already driven three cars."

"Yes, yes, you're amazing. I'm not talking to you anymore. Another Rolls-Royce is coming over there. I'll go drive it." With that, doorman B rushed over.

When a guest arrives, Qin's mother or father introduces Shen Xuening to them, showing her great favor.

Qin's mother's best friend, Madam Xiao, arrived. Madam Xiao presented a gift and sincerely congratulated her, saying, "Congratulations, sister."

Qin's mother smiled broadly: "Thank you. Is your son getting married soon?"

Madam Xiao said enviously, "He still has a long way to go. Unlike you, you'll be able to bring your daughter-in-law home soon."

Qin's mother was very happy today: "Then you should urge him."

Mrs. Xia laughed and said, "Alright, I'll urge her when I get back."

Qin's mother introduced Shen Xuening to Madam Xiao: "Come, let me introduce you. This is my daughter-in-law, Shen Xuening. Xuening, call her Aunt Xiao. She is my best friend."

Shen Xuening greeted, "Hello, Aunt Xiao."

"She's so beautiful." Madam Xiao looked Shen Xuening up and down, feeling even more envious. "How did you and Zizhou meet?"

Shen Xuening smiled politely and replied, "We met at the same university."

Mrs. Xiao was surprised: "It's a campus romance?"

Shen Xuening said, "No, we started dating after graduation. We didn't date in college."

"Knowing each other is the foundation for becoming boyfriend and girlfriend, isn't it?" Mrs. Xiao said with a smile. "No matter when you start dating, as long as the outcome is good, that's all that matters."

Shen Xuening nodded: "Aunt Xiao is right."

Another guest arrived, and Qin's mother said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you later. Come on, let me take you to sit down."

"Let's go." Madam Xiao left with Qin's mother.

Guests arrived in batches and were seated according to seniority. In less than an hour, the seats were about 80-90% full, indicating that there were quite a lot of people.

However, the guests only sat in their seats for a short while before going to socialize. At the edge of the hall, there were many drinks, tea, pastries, fruits, snacks, dried fruits, etc., all mainly in red, which looked quite festive.

After this incident, Shen Xuening has made her debut in front of Qin's relatives and friends, and now everyone knows of her existence.

Qin Dandan walked over with a little girl from a collateral branch of the Qin family: "Sister-in-law, can I give you a hug? I'm a big fan of yours."

Shen Xuening, with her approachable demeanor, replied, "Sure."

The little girl hugged Shen Xuening and said, "Sister-in-law, I can now meet my idol up close."

Qin Zizhou corrected: "Your sister-in-law isn't a celebrity, but you can still admire her."

The little girl pouted and said, "It's just a form of address, why does my cousin have to protect me?"

Qin Zizhou, in a protective tone, said, "Of course! I went through a lot of trouble to win over your sister-in-law, so I have to cherish her."

The young girl nodded and smiled sweetly, "That's true." Then she said to Shen Xuening, "Sister-in-law, welcome to our family. I'll call you sister-in-law from now on."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for liking it."

The little girl took out her phone and showed it to Qin Zizhou: "Cousin, take a picture of me and my sister-in-law."

"Okay." Qin Zizhou took a picture of the two of them, then handed the phone back to the girl. "Alright, stop bothering your sister-in-law, we still have to greet the guests."

The outgoing girl said as she left, "I'll help you greet the guests."

Qin Zizhou agreed: "That's fine, I'll learn more about how to treat people."

The little girl disagreed with Qin Zizhou's statement, emphasizing, "Cousin, I already know these manners, okay?"

Qin Zizhou said, "Okay, okay, you know how. I'll take a look in a bit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qianwen, Zhou Manjun, and Han Yifei arrived. Zhang Qianwen immediately gave Shen Xuening a big hug: "Sorry, the traffic was terrible today. I was planning to come and take pictures with you, but I got stuck in traffic and only just got here now."

Shen Xuening said, "It's okay, we can still film after we eat."

"Hmm." Zhang Qianwen looked Shen Xuening up and down. "Xuening, you look so beautiful today. I've never seen a more beautiful bride-to-be."

Shen Xuening said warmly, "I accept all the praise you've given me today. I'll congratulate you even more when you get married."

Zhang Qianwen was very happy: "This is great."

The group chatted with Shen Xuening for a few minutes before being led inside. These young people were considered quite influential in City A, and they immediately attracted everyone's attention and were surrounded by people.

The guests chatted amongst themselves, creating a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.

"I've been guessing what kind of girl the eldest grandson of the Qin family would marry. Now it seems she really is a celestial beauty."

"Yes, her appearance is absolutely stunning."

"I heard that the girl is not only beautiful, but also very capable. She created the Xifulai brand, owns many factories, and is also a big blogger with hundreds of millions of followers."

"Yes, I've seen her videos online. She works in the fields herself. She's a really capable girl."

"you saw it?"

"Yes, the video is called something like Shen Mujin. You can search for it and take a look."

"Does it look good?"

"It's pretty good. The videos are very relaxing, and it's nice to watch them when you're stressed. Plus, the visuals are beautiful, all in high definition, just like watching a movie."

"..."

As everyone talked, the topic shifted to Shen Xuening, since she was the main character of the engagement party, and it was normal to talk about her.

By 11 o'clock, almost all the guests had arrived, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

Qin Zizhou took Shen Xuening to change into her formal attire; they were about to begin the ceremony.

Shen Xuening is currently wearing a red sleeveless long dress, her hair is tied up with a red and gold velvet flower as a hair accessory, and she has light makeup on, making her look stunningly beautiful.

Now she changed into a red cheongsam, and her shoes were changed to red chunky-heeled flats. Her hair was styled to the side and adorned with a gold hairpin, giving her a more elegant and noble air.

Qin Zizhou put his arm around Shen Xuening's waist and they walked out from backstage together.

The moment they appeared, they instantly became the focus of the entire venue.

"She's so beautiful, so gorgeous! She and Qin Zizhou are such a perfect match. She has such good taste in girlfriends."

"Her looks and figure are even more beautiful than those female celebrities; she's an absolute beauty."

"I couldn't take my eyes off it; it's like the most dazzling pearl in the world."

While everyone was whispering among themselves, the emcee walked onto the stage: "Dear friends and family, good afternoon. I am the host of this engagement ceremony."

"Today is June 16th, 2025 in the lunar calendar. On this auspicious day, we gather together to celebrate the marriage of the children of the Qin and Shen families. Thank you all for witnessing the engagement ceremony."

"The groom-to-be, Qin Zizhou, and the bride-to-be, Shen Xuening, have known each other for three years, gotten to know each other, and fallen in love. With their most sincere hearts, they have withstood the test of time and finally tied the knot."

"Today, everyone here is one of the closest people to each other. With everyone's witness, let's join hands and walk towards a bright tomorrow."

"Next, we will take the first step in our engagement ceremony: exchanging engagement rings."

"A single joy seals a thousand-year love, a hundred years will not change your hearts. Please, the two soon-to-be-married couple, exchange engagement rings..."

At this moment, two children each carried a delicate little tray decorated with purple flowers. In the center of the flowers were two rings, one a man's ring and the other a woman's ring, exquisite and beautiful.

The boy stood in front of Qin Zizhou, and the girl stood in front of Shen Xuening. The two children were only about three years old, with delicate and beautiful features. They were not shy at all, and their big eyes looked around with curiosity and wonder.

The host's clear voice echoed in the large hall: "The small ring symbolizes that they are about to hold hands and love each other for a lifetime. In the future, may you be each other's safe harbor when you are tired, and support each other through thick and thin."

There was applause.

A few tears welled up in Liu Juan's eyes; this was probably the feeling of a daughter getting married. Fortunately, Shen Xuening wasn't actually getting married today, otherwise she would definitely have cried.

Amid applause, Qin Zizhou took the ring into his hand and gently asked, "Xue Ning, will you stay with me forever?"

Shen Xuening smiled and replied, "I'm willing."

Qin Zizhou put the ring on Shen Xuening's middle finger: "I do too."

Shen Xuening picked up the men's ring and put it on Qin Zizhou's middle finger: "I hope that in the future we can love and care for each other, and be united in heart forever."

Qin Zizhou raised his head, looking intently at Shen Xuening with an extremely gentle expression.

The emcee smiled and said, "Congratulations to the two soon-to-be-married couple on exchanging rings. Next, we will proceed with signing the marriage certificate."

"A marriage certificate binds us together. Please, the two soon-to-be-married couple, read this marriage certificate aloud and press your respective handprints on it..."

The marriage certificate was written by Grandpa Qin himself with a brush, the calligraphy was vigorous and majestic, and had a very bold style.

The marriage certificate already has both of their names written on it; after it's read aloud, all that's needed is for them to put their fingerprints on it.

After signing the marriage certificate, it signifies that the man and woman have officially entered into a marriage contract and pledged their lives to each other.

The boy carrying the wedding certificate tray and the girl carrying the red clay tray walked onto the stage together again, standing in front of Qin Zizhou and Shen Xuening, looking adorable.

The emcee picked up the marriage certificate and handed it to Qin Zizhou: "Please read the engagement certificate together, you two soon-to-be-married couple."

After he finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Qin Zizhou.

Shen Xuening opened the engagement letter, and Qin Zizhou held the microphone between them. They then read it aloud together.
