The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window lattice into the house. Lan Xichen and Meng Yao rose early. Dressed in elegant Lan family attire, they couldn't conceal their newlywed joy.

Holding hands, they went together to pay their respects to Lan Qingheng and Long Xiyue.

Along the way, Meng Yao felt a little nervous. After all, this was his first time as a member of the Lan family to formally meet his elders.

Lan Xichen sensed his nervousness, gently squeezed his hand, and gave him an encouraging look.

The two arrived at the cold room, where Lan Qingheng and Long Xiyue had been waiting for a long time. Lan Qingheng had a kind face, while Long Xiyue wore a gentle smile. Lan Xichen and Meng Yao bowed respectfully.

"Father, Mother, A-Yao and I are here to pay our respects," Lan Xichen said.

Meng Yao also said, "Father, Mother, Ayao greets you."

Lan Qingheng nodded slightly and said, "Get up. Yesterday's wedding was a complete success. You two should support each other and work together for the future of the Lan family."

Meng Yao listened attentively, his heart deeply moved. He knew that from this moment on, he had truly become a member of the Lan family.

Long Xiyue looked at Meng Yao with loving eyes and said, "Ayao, this will be your home from now on. If you need anything, just let me know."

Meng Yao said gratefully, "Thank you, mother."

Lan Qingheng continued, "Later, Third Uncle will be in the ancestral hall writing down the family tree for A-Yao and giving him a headband. This is an important ceremony for the Lan family, so you must treat it with respect."

Lan Xichen and Meng Yao exchanged a glance, their hearts brimming with anticipation. They knew this ceremony would formally confirm Meng Yao’s status within the Lan family.

After bidding farewell to Lan Qingheng and Long Xiyue, Lan Xichen and Meng Yao returned to their room and prepared to head to the ancestral hall. Meng Yao felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement, knowing that this ceremony held great significance for him.

"Xichen, I'm a little nervous." Meng Yao said.

Lan Xichen looked at him tenderly and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. This ceremony is a recognition of you and a new beginning for us."

Meng Yao nodded, her heart gradually calming down.

They arrived at the ancestral hall, where Third Uncle and a group of elders were already waiting. The hall was solemn and dignified, filled with a sacred atmosphere.

Third Uncle looked at Lan Xichen and Meng Yao and said, "Today, Meng Yao will be enrolled in the family tree and given a headband. This is a major event for the Lan family. Meng Yao, now that you have married into the Lan family, you must abide by their rules and teachings and work hard for their glory."

Meng Yao said solemnly: "Don't worry, Third Uncle, A Yao will definitely abide by the family rules and teachings and do his best for the Lan family."

Third Uncle nodded and began the ceremony of entering the family tree. He picked up the brush and solemnly wrote Meng Yao's name on the tree next to Lan Xichen. At that moment, Meng Yao felt a strong sense of belonging.

Then, Third Uncle held out a brand new headband and handed it to Lan Xichen. Lan Xichen took it and gently placed it on Meng Yao. The headband rested on Meng Yao's forehead like a sacred symbol, symbolizing his close connection to the Lan family.

After the ceremony, Lan Xichen and Meng Yao walked out of the ancestral hall, their hearts filled with joy and emotion.

"Ayao, from now on, you have truly become a member of the Lan family." Lan Xichen said.

Meng Yao looked at Lan Xichen, tears glistening in her eyes, and said, "Xichen, I will cherish this honor and protect the Lan family with you."

Hand in hand, they walked along the path, a path hidden in the clouds. The sun shone down on them, a warm and beautiful scene. They knew that in the days ahead, they would face various challenges together and create a happy life for themselves.
