The Lu family hadn’t been this lively in years. Originally, Gu Ruandong and Lu Kuo had no intention of holding their weddings together. Each had their own style and wanted to give their beloved women a special, unique wedding.
But unfortunately, Yaoyao and Ruirui were close best friends. One day, while chatting, they suddenly had a brilliant idea: why not have their weddings together? After all, both families were Gu and Lu, and the guests would be mostly the same. Instead of going through the trouble of planning two separate ceremonies, they could just do it once.
They made their own decisions without consulting the men in their families at all.
Upon hearing this, the old man also found it feasible. Having his two children hold a joint wedding ceremony would certainly be an unprecedented spectacle. With his approval, both Lu Kuo and Gu Ruandong stopped objecting.
Neighboring teacher Cheng, who has also watched Lu Kuo and Yaoyao grow up, immediately recommended the manor where Zhuo Yu’an and Ting Lan had their wedding after hearing they were going to have a joint ceremony.
Well, that manor was relatively affordable, but the environment and their wedding theme didn’t really match. The old man wasn’t very impressed.
Little did they know, when the four children heard this suggestion, their faces changed in different ways. However, without a word of protest, they all readily accepted it.
The old man had no idea that their story all began in this manor.
The wedding date was adjusted to accommodate Ruann’s schedule, choosing the end of July during the summer vacation. The villa could also escape the heat at this time, and even without air conditioning at night, there was a hint of coolness.
Several families had checked into the manor two days in advance.
Gu Ruandong and Yaoyao specially chose the room with a hot spring courtyard they had stayed in before. Lu Kuo and Ruanruan also chose the same one as last time.
That room was relatively simple and not like a bridal chamber.
The old man and Mrs. Gu could only sigh, nowadays young people are so different, they like to be unique and don’t care about tradition at all.
This place was chosen because it holds special meaning for them, even though it’s not particularly fancy.
As soon as Yao Yao entered the courtyard with hot springs, Gu Ruandong latched onto her like a shadow. He didn’t even take a single step on his own. She remembered last time when he was pretending to be very restrained here, she had always wanted to ask him what he was thinking at that time. How could he hold back even though things had already gone that far?
Gu Ruandong held her in his arms, a sly smile on his face: “What’s the point of pretending now?”
Although so much time had passed, and she knew his body like the back of her hand, that day, when she was lost in desire and frantically trying to unbuckle his belt, her fingers brushed against something cool yet impossibly hard. The shock and the rapid beating of her heart are still vivid in her memory.
She remained lost in her memories, not answering his question. He moved from the yard to the room, then lowered his head, whispering against her ear: “What was it like back then?”
Is he still going on and on?
She blushed and glanced down at his most private area again. In such a short time, from the yard to the door, he was…the same as that day.
But she wasn’t the same girl she used to be. She was deliberately mischievous, lightly touching him and saying: “This is it!”
Gu Ruandong stiffened, drawing a sharp breath, tightening his grip on her hand, his eyes filled with an undeniable intensity of desire.
>>>
You kissed me proactively, and you pushed me away.
Gu Ruandong felt that if he didn’t answer her questions today, things wouldn’t be able to continue. So he calmed down a bit, collected his thoughts, and started to patiently answer.
“Last time I was here, it was Mr. Zhuo’s wedding. You were supposed to be the bridesmaid, but there wasn’t enough time, and besides, that was our first time. I didn’t want it to feel rushed or careless.” That was very straightforward.
“Are you uncomfortable?” she asked, knowing full well the answer.
What do you think?
Lu Yaoyao giggled softly and remained silent. She still remembered that he had been a full half hour late leaving for the wedding venue back then.
She smiled, and Gu Ruan Dong couldn’t hold back anymore. He didn’t restrain himself this time, kissing her for a while before letting go and answering the second question, also very honestly.
“At that time, I didn’t think it was the right time. I still had a lot of things to deal with, and everything felt chaotic. I thought being with you would taint you. Plus, back then, you didn’t have any emotional foundation for me, it was more like animal instinct. Just starting something casually like that wouldn’t be responsible of me.”
Then you don’t have to yell at me either, right? I’ve been sad for days.
“Did I yell at you?” He didn’t really remember.
“Yes, very loudly. Was it because I had feelings and also felt like I had to push you away, so unconsciously I shouted that loudly?”
“Right? One pack of cigarettes just calmed me down.” He wasn’t hiding his feelings for her, or his desire, anymore.
Yao Yao took the initiative to lean over and proactively kissed him: “Brother, I really love you so much.”
Loving him, it’s both the animalistic instinct being drawn to someone beautiful and also being touched by all the little things he does after getting to know each other. Deep down in love, I just want to give her everything, to entrust my whole world to her.
He, into his hands, at his disposal.
While he didn’t often speak of his love for her, it was evident in each instance where he fell deeper and deeper into infatuation.
Checking into the manor, on the eve of their wedding, undisturbed by anyone. They were wild and unrestrained during the day, only truly settling down at night for a good sleep. After all, they needed to be beautiful brides tomorrow.
At the wedding, Lu Kuo finally got his wish and wore a casual white shirt and black wide-leg shorts. Ruan Ruan also wore a white shirt with a black pleated skirt and a white veil on her head, which was unique and full of personality. Their bridesmaids were Ruan Ruan’s students, all dressed in the same style. The whole scene was different from Gu Ruan Dong and Yao Yao next to them, it was a refreshing style.
Yayoi and Gu Ruandong, one in a white floor-length wedding gown, the other in a suit, are the epitome of beauty and romance.
Two styles co-existing at a wedding, surprisingly don’t clash, but instead add more elements, layers, and richness to the event.
Because their love was already so full in their daily lives, there weren’t any more heart-wrenching or sentimental emotions at the wedding. The guests who attended the wedding felt more warmth and enthusiasm.
On stage, the two couples of newlyweds were exchanging rings and kissing each other. Thunderous applause from the audience pushed the wedding to its… climax.
On the Lu family’s side, the happiest person is the patriarch. Putting aside Gu family’s past affairs, both Gu Ruandong and Ruan Ruan are very much to his liking.
Gu Ruandong’s personality is steady and responsible, and he is very tolerant of Yaoyao. The old man thinks highly of him and can’t find anyone more suitable for Yaoyao than him.
while Ruanruan seems mild-mannered, she is assertive and has her own opinions.
Being accommodating, having principles for major matters, and being flexible on minor issues, to go with Lu Kuò’s personality, is also the most suitable way to treat him.
The old man was truly satisfied and fulfilled.
