The wedding ended with the priest's blessing, and Leng Youchen carried her upstairs, helped her change into a qipao, before heading downstairs to toast the guests.
Though the wedding was modest, no aspect of etiquette that should be observed was neglected.
Leng Youchen held her by the waist as they descended the stairs. He had never seen her wear a qipao before and was surprised by how sensuous she looked in it. He whispered in her ear, "I don't even want to let you go, let them see how beautiful you are."
Wei Anning laughed softly, "Stop teasing, everyone is watching."
"Let them watch, today we are the most important ones." Leng Youchen said wilfully.
Actually, it was Leng Youchen who was drinking while toasting, but since the guests were all close friends, the toasts were brief. After completing the round, Wei Anning sat beside Eden.
She personally poured a glass of wine for Eden and then substituted it with tea, saying, "Eden, I toast you with tea instead of wine."
