With each step Su Chenxi took on the road to happiness paved with red roses, she drew closer to the person on stage. All eyes were on her, but her gaze was fixed solely on that one person.

Gu Taoyang's eyes were moist as he led his daughter step by step onto the stage and handed her over to the person he trusted most. He watched as a large, strong hand took his daughter's hand, as if taking over her future.

"Dad! Thank you." Shen Yanchuan said gratefully.

"Treat her well." Gu Taoyang had a thousand words to say, but at this moment, he only had this one sentence to say.

Xu Yuan quietly circled around to Su Chenxi's back, but because her skirt was too long, she stepped on it and was about to trip when a large hand reached out and grabbed her waist, helping her to her feet.

Xu Yuan's face flushed red. She felt a faint warmth where her waist had been supported. Fortunately, she didn't actually fall, otherwise, she would have been truly embarrassed.

Just then, Gu Heting leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Let's go down first."

Xu Yuan nodded as she watched the newlyweds about to begin their ceremony. Just then, a large hand grabbed her wrist, and Gu Heting led her off the side.

As soon as she stepped off the stage, before Xu Yuan could even react, Gu Heting let go of her. Xu Yuan felt a warmth in her heart; she must have almost fallen just now, which was why he kindly helped her down!

At this moment, Shen Yanchuan took the microphone from the host on stage. His voice was magnetic and charming as he expressed his gratitude to the guests present. His calm demeanor revealed his excitement and joy. Su Chenxi was shyly led by him. Listening to her husband's voice, her eyes filled with admiration beneath her veil.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. At the head table, the two elderly ladies looked at each other happily. Su Meifen excitedly covered her red lips, while Gu Taoyang suppressed the discomfort in his chest and blessed his daughter.

The ceremony began. After the vows were read, the newlyweds exchanged rings and kissed.

Xu Yuan took a series of photos from the audience. She had promised to record everything that happened today. Inadvertently, the camera was pointed at the man standing next to her. His handsome and refined face entered her lens, and she pressed the shutter button.

Gu Heting also caught a glimpse of her phone camera. He turned his head, smiled at her lens, and Xu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly snapped a picture and said shyly, "I promised Chenxi that I would record her wedding today."

Gu Heting nodded, then turned back to continue watching his sister's wedding ceremony on stage until the newlyweds took their bows and left the stage, and the new banquet began.

Xu Yuan came over and accompanied the makeup team to change into toast dresses with Su Chenxi.

A traditional Chinese toasting dress gave Su Chenxi a classic beauty, and Xu Yuan smiled and praised, "What a face that looks like it's blessed with peace and prosperity!"

Su Chenxi smiled and reached out to rub her face. Xu Yuan giggled and dodged. Su Chenxi said, "Let's have a couple of drinks later."

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely have a couple more drinks today."

Su Chenxi and Xu Yuan came out, and Shen Yanchuan reached out to take her hand. Gu Heting was already prepared to accompany the newlyweds to toast the guests. Looking at Xu Yuan, he said, "Miss Xu, please sit at this table!"

Xu Yuan glanced at the second seat, realizing it was reserved for relatives! She quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need."

Su Chenxi immediately came over and pressed her down into a chair. "Just sit down properly!" she said, then leaned close to her ear and teased, "Remember to toast my brother a couple more drinks later."

Xu Yuan couldn't help but laugh. What kind of bride would trick her older brother like this?

Su Chenxi and Shen Yanchuan accompanied their parents and older brother to toast the guests. Xu Yuan's gaze inadvertently met that of a girl next to her. She recognized her at a glance as Jiang Yao, but Jiang Yao turned her face away and ignored her.

Xu Yuan didn't greet her either, but she knew what kind of person Jiang Yao was.

Almost twenty minutes later, Shen Yanchuan led Su Chenxi to sit down at the main table. Soon after, Gu Heting returned, his handsome face flushed, clearly having helped the groom drink quite a bit.

Gu Taoyang also sat down. He reached out and covered his chest. Su Meifen immediately noticed and asked with concern, "Taoyang, what's wrong? Have you had too much to drink?"

"I didn't drink it. He Ting drank it for me. It's fine," Gu Taoyang said with a smile.

"Then sit down and have something to eat." Su Meifen poured him a cup of tea.

Su Chenxi and Shen Yanchuan sat down. Shen Yanchuan felt sorry for his wife who had worked hard all day, so he told her to eat something first. Although etiquette was important, his wife's health was the most important thing.

Xu Yuan was sitting next to Gu Heting when she saw two male relatives of the Gu family stand up to toast him. Gu Heting did not refuse and drank two more glasses. At this moment, a somewhat drunk male guest suddenly toasted Xu Yuan, "Come on, miss, I think you are Heting's girlfriend! Come on, let me toast you too."

Xu Yuan's pretty face flushed. Seeing the other person approaching with a glass, and knowing he was somewhat drunk, she had no choice but to stand up and raise her glass in greeting, "Thank you, I'm a friend of Young Master Gu."

Gu Heting just smiled, offering no explanation.

"He Ting, your girlfriend is very beautiful!"

"Thank you, uncle."

Xu Yuan's face flushed even hotter. She hadn't expected to be misunderstood like this, but everyone was happy now, so there was no need to explain seriously. It was enough to just be happy.

At the next table, Jiang Yao overheard the conversation. She stared at Xu Yuan in astonishment, not expecting that Su Chenxi would introduce her good friend to Gu Heting.

What gives Xu Yuan the right? Just because she's close to Su Chenxi?

Su Meifen ladled a bowl of soup for her daughter, Su Chenxi, who reached out to take it. Just then, a whiff of soup wafted into her nose, and she felt a churning in her stomach. She quickly put down the soup and said to Shen Yanchuan, "I'm going to the restroom."

Seeing her daughter get up so hastily, Su Meifen was about to accompany her when she saw Xu Yuan smile and say, "Auntie, I'll go with Chenxi."

Su Meifen smiled and nodded. Su Chenxi and Xu Yuan headed towards the restroom. Xu Yuan noticed that Su Chenxi looked unwell and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I...I might have been too hungry, I feel a bit nauseous right now."

Xu Yuan led her into the restroom, where the sweet fragrance in the air made Su Chenxi even more uncomfortable. She leaned over the sink and gagged, but she couldn't vomit; she just felt extremely nauseous.

Xu Yuan, who was standing nearby, brought her a tissue and gently patted her back. "Go back to the table and have a glass of warm water later!"

At this moment, a middle-aged female guest stepped in. Seeing the bride there, she exclaimed with delight, "Congratulations, bride!"

"Thank you." After saying that, Su Chenxi let out another bout of dry heaving. The middle-aged woman looked her over and then smiled, "Bride, are you pregnant?"
