 Zhan POV

Yibo's arm wrapped around my waist as we walked back into the backyard towards the grand white gazebo next to the lake; where the reception will be held.

I grabbed his waist and lifted him off the ground, he laughed as I twirled him around. I sat him back down "How are you feeling?" I asked and he smiled "Happy." he said "I love you." I said kissing him. I've done a lot of things in my life, some good, some really bad. But none of them were as profound and fulfilling as marrying this man.

Soon enough the gazebo was filled with guests, extending their greetings and congratulations. Music filled the reception as the crowds began to mingle.

The music lulled as Li walked on the small stage; we asked her to be the MC for the night. She was more than happy to do it. She greeted the crowd and introduced all of the special guests, she asked for everyone to clear the dance floor for the newlyweds.

Yibo smiled as he introduced him as Mr. Xiao, most of all I loved the look on his face as his favorite K-pop band walked on and started performing.

I pulled him closer to me and they switched to solo to the slow tempo song. "Why so surprised? I clearly remember you inviting them to perform when we took our first dance." I said in his ear. He chuckled

"Yeah at the time I didn't think it would actually happen." He replied. "Falling in Love... I liked this song...never heard it before though..." He said

"That's because they wrote it for us." I said and his eyes widened a little "Seriously?" he asked and I nodded smiling at his expression. All too soon the song ended and the crowds cheered. Everyone joined in when they started playing classics.


Everyone got seated and before the meal, Zhoucheng stood up to make his best man speech. As usual he was funny and charming as he wished me and Yibo peace and happiness. More family members stood up and made their speeches and toasts in between the courses.


After dinner, the DJ cranked up the music and everyone danced, I smiled twirling Yibo around. "Just when I thought you couldn't get more beautiful." I said and he smiled. I was stunned the moment he appeared up the aisle. "And just when I thought you couldn't get more handsome." He said grabbing my jacket "I was wrong." He added. I chuckled wrapping my arms around his waist. 

He paused "People Magazine?" he asked and I sighed, I wondered how long it would be before he found out about that. "You heard about that huh?" I said knowingly

"Yeah, from my stylist of all people" he said, "Why didn't you tell me?" "You already had too much on your plate love, you didn't need to worry about the media too." I said.

"Do I even want to know exactly how much was offered?" he asked and I immediately shook my head. For someone who just married a billionaire, he was very sensitive when it came to monetary issues.

"There are people out there who need that kind of money and they are willing to throw it away on a wedding." He said and I got an idea "Tell you what, why don't we offer them an interview. I'm sure they'll love that too." I said, "Then we'll give the money away to charity. It'll go to people who really need it," I added. He thought about it for a moment then he smiled and nodded.

"I like the way you think Mr. Xiao." He said, I chuckled kissing his forehead "I do too Mr. Xiao." I teased and he giggled. I looked at Li "I think it's time for the cake cutting." I said grabbing his hand.

He and I made our way to the cake he made me pick; I chuckled inwardly. The photographer flashed his camera on us as we took turns feeding each other. Li did a fantastic job on the wedding overall, everything looked wonderful.

I stood with Zhoucheng and we looked on as all the people gathered behind Yibo and he tossed his bouquet to a surprised Ziyi. From the corner of my eye, I saw Zhoucheng slightly smile.  



Everyone cheered and laughed as he waved it in the air in celebration. People went back to dancing but I pulled Yibo out of the reception.

He and I strolled by the lake; he picked up a few rocks. I looked at him intrigued, "Imagine that this is a wishing well." He said giving some of them to me, "And that these are coins," he added. I smiled "I wish for my Bo to stop being so stubborn..." he laughed "But most importantly to live a long and happy life with him." I said and threw the stone in the lake.

"I wish for my Zhan's conceit to come down a few notches and for him to listen to me for a change." He said and I chuckled "I wish to love him, bear him beautiful and healthy children. Most of all to grow old with him." I smiled as he held the stone to his chest then threw it. I hugged him tightly "I love you too." He whispered, "You didn't give me the chance to say that earlier." He added chuckling.

"Shame on me." I teased kissing his hand as we walked back to the party.



We changed for our getaway; he came down the stairs wearing a  green loose shirt with white pants. I grabbed his hand and we went out. Everyone had occupied the driveway to see us off; Jeffrey and  YuBin had just finished loading our luggage in the Rolls. We said our goodbyes and retreated into the car as they started to throw rice at us.

Our guests smiled and waved at us when the car began to move, he laid his head on my shoulder as we drove away. "We're not going to the airport?" he asked as we walked into the living room of my pad in the hills.

I shook my head "It's a long flight, I thought you might need to rest first." I said. "Rest? On our wedding night?" he asked and I chuckled

"Oh why not?" I said scooping him into my arms. I carried him up to the bedroom, I sat him down and she took off his shoes. I went back downstairs to get our luggage; I smiled when I found him sleeping on the bed. He didn't get under the covers so I'm guessing sleeping wasn't his original intention. I pulled the coverlet over him and kissed his hair.
