Xie Qingyu and Zhou Shenye's wedding was also held abroad.

Neither of them were particularly sociable, and Xie Qingyu didn't have many friends here.

If you count all the people you could talk to, Qin Dan is the only one you can invite.

As for Xie Anshan and the others, they had long since returned to where they lived.

After the Xie family changed hands, most of the profits were donated to charity, and outsiders were unaware that the Xie family had ended up in Xie Qingyu's hands after all the twists and turns.

Xie Anshan, now burdened with debt, moved away with Wang Meilin, leaving behind not even their luxury bags and shoes.

Xie Anshan had sent a long plea text message before, but Xie Qingyu forgot about it after reading it.

He had an affair with Wang Meilin, which triggered his wife's suicide, as she was already suffering from postpartum depression. When he learned of the original owner's existence, his first reaction was to take advantage of her.

A father like that has no family affection to speak of.

Therefore, Xie Anshan only learned about Xie Qingyu's marriage to Zhou Shenye much later.

No members of the Xie family were present at Xie Qingyu's wedding.

Most of the people present were from the Zhou family, and there were also some people Zhou Shenye had met at the event, but not many; they were considered friends by Zhou Shenye.

This also includes the doctor who has been treating Zhou Shenye.

There's no traditional wedding procession here; the doctor arrived early and came up to offer his congratulations first.

The moment the doctor saw Xie Qingyu, he probably wanted to go up and give her a hug, but looking at Zhou Shenye standing next to him, he shrugged helplessly and smiled at Xie Qingyu while raising his glass.

“Look at him!” The doctor’s Chinese was quite good; Xie Qingyu had seen him when she first arrived.

"Speak properly, don't get physical." Zhou Shenye's attitude towards the doctor was also very casual.

"Alright, alright, you've forgotten about the doctor now that you have a wife." The doctor's head-shaking gesture was clearly something he'd learned from Old Master Zhou.

The wedding venue was decorated in a low-key manner, but the care put into it was obvious. Not many members of the Zhou family were able to attend, and just by looking at these things, you could tell how much Zhou Shenye valued Xie Qingyu.

The old man had no say in Zhou Shenye's marriage, let alone the others.

Not every member of the Zhou family present knew Xie Qingyu's background or identity.

Some people didn't even know about the relationship between Xie Qingyu and Zhou He.

However, Zhou Jin naturally knew this.

Seeing Zhou He's gaze fixed on Xie Qingyu, Zhou Jin warned in a low voice, "Take your eyes off her, don't let your uncle see. Xie Qingyu is your aunt now."

Zhou He frowned upon hearing Zhou Jin's words, but said nothing.

He admitted that when he saw Xie Qingyu today, he was immediately attracted by her vibrant vitality and generous demeanor.

But that also reminded him of the feeling he had when he saw Xie Qingyu get off the race car that time—a feeling of amazement and admiration, but no liking.

Zhou He felt a tap on his right shoulder and looked up to see Qin Dan's white-dyed hair. "Don't look, it's not yours anyway."

Qin Dan speaks bluntly to the extreme.

“Then you’re not yours.” Zhou He’s gaze lingered on Qin Dan’s hair for three seconds before he looked away.

"You really are something." This was the only time Qin Dan didn't retort.

Looking at Zhou Shenye and Xie Qingyu standing together, and then at Zhou He standing next to her.

He knew that Xie Qingyu wouldn't be with people like them.

She probably saw them as just a bunch of kids.

Only when she stood next to Zhou Shenye did they have that perfect couple aura.

Qin Dan sighed inwardly. The one thing he was better at than Zhou He was that he had been self-aware from a very young age.

"Just do your job well." Qin Dan understood.

Given Xie Qingyu's past entanglements with Zhou He, Zhou Shenye is more likely to support Zhou He.

As long as he doesn't cause trouble, he'll always have a voice in the Zhou family.

It all depends on whether he can come to his senses.

Thinking about the messages Xie Qingqing could still receive on Zhou He's phone, Qin Dan glanced at him twice, making Zhou He feel uneasy.

"What are you looking at?"

"Be more careful!" Qin Dan said, ignoring Zhou He, and went up to greet Xie Qingyu.

His father was incredibly shocked when he saw that he had received the invitation, so he had to go up and show it off to his father.

"Sister... Sister, happy wedding." Qin Dan only managed to utter one word of address before Zhou Shenye glared at her.

He was so frightened that he almost didn't know what to say.

"Thank you, have fun today." Xie Qingyu smiled at Qin Dan.

Zhou Shenye watched the two exchange pleasantries without saying a word, and even after Qin Dan left, his gaze remained fixed on him.

"She's just a kid, not even as old as Zhou He. It's only right that she calls me 'sister'," Xie Qingyu began to coax her.

“She’s been playing with Zhou He, so she should call you Auntie now.” Zhou Shenye is very sensitive about how he addresses people now because he failed to get Xie Qingyu to call him ‘husband’ after his successful marriage proposal, and he still holds a grudge about it.

"Auntie looks so old," Xie Qingyu said subconsciously.

He then immediately laughed and said, "I didn't say you're old, I just said the way you're addressed is old."

It would have been better if Xie Qingyu hadn't explained, because her explanation reminded Zhou Shenye of what Xie Qingyu had said a few days ago during a chat: that a man's prime is over by 25.

His face darkened even more.

"Just you wait tonight, darling, I'll show you whether a man over 25 is still capable," Zhou Shenye threatened in Xie Qingyu's ear.

Although the wedding didn't invite many people, all the necessary steps were taken. By the time everyone was entertained and everything was arranged, it was already evening.

When Xie Qingyu came out after taking a shower, Zhou Shenye was already standing by the window wearing a bathrobe and holding a glass of red wine.

Because of the wedding, the castle was decorated with a festive atmosphere. The lights in the garden were still on, creating a happy feeling and adding to the castle's charm.

Even though Xie Qingyu was the only one in the castle, Zhou Shenye felt that there was much more there, and the place was no longer empty.

Hearing the bathroom door open, Zhou Shenye turned around and went over to dry Xie Qingyu's wet hair.

"Is everything settled?" Xie Qingyu had returned earlier, and the last few were all members of the Zhou family, who were arranged by Zhou Shenye.

"The old man has a place to stay here, so we had the driver take them all there."

The Zhou family's business started expanding overseas from the old man's generation. The old man also worked hard here for more than ten years, otherwise he wouldn't have a mixed-race son like Zhou Shenye.

Zhou Shenye sent all of his family members there at once.

"If there's no room here, you can stay here."

“They’re not allowed here.” Zhou Shenye put down the hairdryer, looked at Xie Qingyu’s completely dry hair, and sniffed it.

"Just for one night."

There are many rooms in the castle.

“No, it’ll get in the way.” Zhou Shenye’s voice was hoarse.

Xie Qingyu turned around and saw his deep gaze, and immediately understood what he meant by being in the way.

That night, Zhou Shenye showed Xie Qingyu what a man over twenty-five really is.

Those who could answer in the first half of the night couldn't answer in the second half and could only leave scratch marks on Zhou Shenye's body.

Zhou Shenye, who woke up early, looked at the marks on his body with only a smile in his eyes.

Bright sunlight streamed into the ancient castle, and this historic castle finally welcomed its mistress.
