While chatting, Zhou Tianyu couldn’t help but admire. “When you and Ninth Si held that prosperous wedding engagement party, we were guessing how grand must the wedding be when you and Ninth Si get married. I didn’t expect Ninth Si to host a Han marriage for you.”

Although traditional ancient marriages had become popular in recent years, it was still rare to hold Han marriages.

Although some people were fond of them, it was mostly because of the beautiful and complicated wedding dresses. As for the wedding process, they all passed it up.

Authentic traditional Han marriages were not only particularly strict on etiquette but also very restricted on the requirements of wedding dresses and accessories. Every detail entailed an excellent metaphor. That was why it continued to be the most solemn and serious wedding style in Country Z.

Wen Xinya couldn’t help but laugh. “I didn’t expect it either..”

Right after she became pregnant, her health was not very good. Originally, she thought that taking into account her physical conditions, Si Yiyan would not spend much time and effort on holding the wedding.

Unexpectedly, unknown to her, Si Yiyan had already begun to prepare.

It had been almost two months since the preparations for the Han marriage begun. It took three months to really prepare for it, which showed the tediousness.

“Holding a grand Han marriage expends 100 times the energy and effort of other weddings, and more than 100 million units the consumption of material and financial resources. It leaves the so-called weddings of the century in the dust. Ninth Si is really sincere.”

Because she was born into a family of scholars, she also learned history. Thus, she knew more about the culture of Han marriage. So she could really understand Ninth Si’s feelings and thoughtfulness for Xinya.

The truly unique aspect of the Han marriage was the implicit concept of yin and yang of heaven and earth and the union of men and women, which included some Taoism meanings of equality between men and women.

The union was a spiritual culture. The hexagrams in the book Zhouyi were: benevolence, courtesy, justice, and wisdom!

Union: Metaphor of Yin and Yang, harmony of Yin and Yang, mutuality of Yin and Yang, and balance of Yin and Yang. This was an interdependent and indispensable spiritual culture.

It was enough to see that Ninth Si had worked hard.

Xu Tongxuan smiled softly. “Ninth Si treats you so well. I can’t help looking forward to your wedding.”

There was a knowing smile on her face.

However, her heart was really envious.

The friends around her had all found their other halves in life because of the influence of the Ninth Si and Xinya couple, whether it was the stable and affectionate Gu Junling, the seemingly elegant Ling Qingxuan, or the seemingly egoistic Han Mofeng who actually had a soft heart, they were all inspired.

In contrast, she was still single.

It seemed like she really should think about her life.

…

Zhou Tianyu and Ye Feiyu left as they had matters to attend to. Du Ruo, a research maniac, was thinking about doing research. Only Xu Tongxuan had nothing to do, so she stayed in the hospital to accompany Wen Xinya.

As the two talked, time passed quickly.

It was almost four o’clock in the afternoon, and Wen Xinya was a little tired. After she fell asleep, Xu Tongxuan walked quietly to the door and turned the doorknob to leave.

Suddenly, the door was pulled open and Xu Tongxuan came face to face with a man standing outside the door. She stood shocked.

The man in front of her was at least 1.85m or so. The person was the thin and tall type, but his figure did not give off that feeling.

He wore a white casual shirt, gold-rimmed glasses, and his face was the very popular oval shape in comics. He was like a prince coming out of a Japanese manga. He was handsome, gentle, harmless, personable, and a rare man, comparable to Ninth Si.

Xu Tongxuan couldn’t help but look dumbfounded.

“Lady, are you sure you want to keep standing at the door and blocking me?”

Gu Yuexi looked through his glasses at his sis-in-law’s friend quietly. His sharp eyes under his glasses, like X-rays, seemed to see through her.

If he remembered correctly, this young lady was probably a friend of sis-in-law with the surname Xu, the granddaughter of the former head of the National Security Department, Old Mr. Xu, who was currently serving in the National Security Department in a high position and was the most likely candidate to become the National Security Department’s next director.

“Sorry…”

Xu Tongxuan’s cheeks became slightly warm. Then, she quickly opened the door and walked out. She stepped out in her high heels, one foot lighter than the other. Because her movements were too urgent, and one foot was staggering, she stumbled into Gu Yuexi’s arms.

The man’s chest was thicker and harder than it seemed. Xu Tongxuan, who was in such close contact with a man for the first time, panicked.

Gu Yuexi’s eyes under his lens flashed cold, but because of their relationship with sis-in-law, he didn’t push her away and let her fall to the ground. But when her soft and pale feminine body flew into his arms, his heart suddenly skipped.

He didn’t hate this kind of intimate contact!!!

Even he felt it was incredible.

Because of his previous experience, he hated physical contact with women very much. In addition, in these recent years, many women had approached him with impure intentions, disgusting him even more.

His understanding of women was that they often wore extremely thick layers of makeup that made them unrecognizable. They put three layers of powder on their faces and an abundance of disgusting perfume was sprayed on their bodies.

In his eyes, women were a group of troublesome and disgusting creatures.

But this woman was so pure that it made him want to dye her to his desire, just like when some people see a white wall, they cannot help but leave a footprint on it.

Xu Tongxuan reacted, withdrawing from his arms in a panic, stepping back several times and pressing herself tightly to the wall. “I’m sorry, I just suddenly lost my footing…” Then she quickly switched the topic, trying to save her from embarrassment. “You’re here to see Xinya, right? She’s a little tired and just fell asleep, so she might take a while to wake up.”

She had never seen this man before.

However, since he could enter and leave the Mo Mansion at will, it proved that his relationship with Xinya was relatively close.

In addition, she seemed to have heard from Xinya that Ninth Si had a very important partner beside him. He was as good as Ninth Si and the two of them were like friends. This must be Gu Yuexi!

It should be him!

With his arms empty, Gu Yuexi’s eyes flickered, and a gentle and harmless smile showed on his face. “You’re sis-in-law’s friend Xu Tongxuan. Sis-in-law often mentions you.” Then, with a graceful smile, he said jokingly, “Be careful next time, there won’t be a hero to come and save a beauty like you every time.”

With a bit of ridicule and a sense of humor in his tone, he instantly improved their relationship as initial strangers.

Gu Yuexi was indeed a good player when it came to picking up girls.
