Chapter 436: Chapter 436

When everything was ready, a very thin layer of yarn was draped over her head.

Among the thirteen brothers, the wives of those who were already married came to talk to her.

Only Gu Lili was human.

But it didn’t hinder their conversation.

From the chat, Gu Lili felt that the so-called Fifth Sister-in-law was gentle-tempered, and every sentence she said was comforting.

None of them knew each other originally, they just came to make scene-conversational courtesies.

When it was time to actually proceed with the ceremony, Zhuo Qilan, the wife of Fifth Prince Weng Qingming, supported Gu Lili as they slowly walked out the door.

Through the dim layer of veil, Gu Lili could clearly see the scenery outside.

She was wearing ancient shoes, walking slowly.

She had a grand wedding once before, which was completely different from this time.

This marriage brought her no joy.

There was only heartbreak.

There was only discomfort.

After walking out, she entered the sedan chair.

The jostling made her uncomfortable.

Music played piercingly by her ears.

When the time came, the curtain of the sedan door was lifted.

Su Changzhi’s hand reached out, she extended hers, and as their hands clasped, his was especially cold.

Gu Lili then slowly exited the sedan.

She looked around, there were too many guests attending the wedding banquet.

Under Su Changzhi’s guidance, Gu Lili entered from outside the mansion and walked step by step inside.

All the way to the main hall.

Her gaze fell on that cold, aloof figure; beside him stood a stunningly enchanting woman, hand in hand, it was clear who the woman was.

Gu Lili felt a surge of sourness in her heart and looked down as she continued walking.

Su Changzhi’s hand gently led hers; when they stopped, he suddenly made a move to lift and remove the thin veil from Gu Lili’s head. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel✶fire.net

"It’s obstruction, better ," his eyes brimming with mirth.

Everyone’s attention turned towards Gu Lili, her bridal makeup made her no less beautiful than Lin Yueer.

Moreover, it added a touch of coquettish charm.

Not allowing the audience much time to gaze, the ceremony officially began.

Gu Lili was mentally prepared, so even though the ceremony was elaborate, she managed to complete every part.

Fortunately, Su Changzhi had experience with marriage, taking extra care of her throughout.

It spared her some suffering.

One by one they proceeded to the last part, which was the bowing to heaven and earth.

"First bow to heaven, earth, sun, moon, and stars, asking the new couple to turn around, straighten clothes and bow," instructed the officiator.

Following the director’s words, both complied impeccably with the rituals.

"Now bow to the family ancestors," continued the ceremony.

As they straightened up, Gu Lili looked at Su Changzhi and her gaze naturally fell on Long Chan not far behind him.

Thinking of how he still didn’t know the gender of the child in her womb, thinking how all affection can’t withstand being forgotten, Gu Lili’s eyes suddenly reddened.

"Why does she look like she’s about to cry..." Lin Yueer quietly asked the man next to her.

Long Chan pursed his lips as he locked eyes with Gu Lili, both watching each other.

Tears welled up in her eyes, while his eyes were as calm as water.

With not a trace of memory about her in his mind, how could he be willing to die for her like before.

"The two newlyweds turn left and right for the couple’s bow!" The last bow of the ceremony echoed in her ears.

Su Changzhi smiled as he reached out his hands to wipe her tears, "It’s a day of great joy, seeing you so moved and happy makes me glad. Come, one more bow and it’s all over."

Gu Lili nodded, she smiled, no longer looking at Long Chan, but towards Su Changzhi across her.
