Gu Juexi raised his brows slightly . The Xiao family’s house wasn’t big . The distance from the guest room to the living room was quite short, so before Gu Juexi could answer, they had already arrived at the living room .
When Ye Yuwei looked away from Gu Juexi to the people sitting in the living room, her smile froze .
The one sitting on the couch wasn’t Mr . Xiao or Mrs . Xiao .
It was Bai Ying .
Bai Ying was also staring at Ye Yuwei, her daughter, who was about to get married .
“I mentioned before that I would give you a surprise on our wedding day,” Gu Juexi whispered and gently put Ye Yuwei on the ground .
Ye Yuwei couldn’t believe her eyes . She didn’t dare to blink in case that person disappeared from her sight .
“Mom,” Ye Yuwei said softly, her voice filled with surprise and doubt .
Bai Ying put her hands out, and Ye Yuwei rushed into her embrace .
Ye Yuwei kneeled on the floor and buried herself in Bai Ying’s lap .
Gu Juexi followed the tradition and kneeled next to Ye Yuwei .
“You can’t cry on your wedding day . ” Bai Ying wiped the tears off Ye Yuwei’s face .
“Mom . ” Ye Yuwei raised her head, her makeup slightly smudged .
Bai Ying looked at Gu Juexi . “Gu Juexi, I have only one daughter . I officially hand her over to you from today onwards . ”
Gu Juexi nodded . “Mom, don’t worry . I will protect her and let her live happily without any sorrow . ”
That was the first time Gu Juexi had called Bai Ying ‘Mum’ .
Ye Yuwei was moved beyond words .
One was the person closest to her, and the other was the most important person in her life . They were both right next to her now .
Bai Ying took Ye Yuwei’s hand and placed it in Gu Juexi’s hands . Mrs . Xiao had brought out a bowl of glutinous rice balls . “Eat these first . It signifies reunion . ”
They were familiar with this tradition . PA Wen and Xiao Yaojing had almost choked to death eating these rice balls on their wedding day .
These glutinous rice balls were different from the usual ones . They had different flavours such as sweetness, bitterness, sourness and saltiness to represent the different phases one had to go through in life .
PA Wen’s idea made Xiao Yaojing believe she married the right man .
Gu Juexi had consulted PA Wen on this . PA Wen’s way was simple—if the rice balls were salty, bitter or sour, the groom would eat most of them and let the bride eat a little . If the rice ball was sweet, the groom would eat a little and let the bride eat the rest .
Gu Juexi firmly believed his assistant was traitorous .
But he still followed in his footsteps .
Therefore, Gu Juexi ate most of the glutinous rice balls nonchalantly and left a sweet one for Ye Yuwei .
Xiao Yaojing held Ye Xicheng’s hand and stood next to PA Wen . “You taught him that? I’m curious though, why would Gu Juexi agree to take part in a commoner-style wedding?”
It was surprising for a man like Gu Juexi who wanted an extravagant wedding to want to follow the traditional aspects of the wedding .
PA Wen carried Xixi in his arms and thought about the answer . “Perhaps it’s because Young Mistress is a commoner . ”
Xiao Yaojing considered it .
Seems like Gu Juexi had suffered a grievance .
After eating the rice balls, Gu Juexi returned the bowl to Mrs . Xiao . He continued kneeling, waiting for further instructions from Bai Ying .
