This chapter is a mix of the beginning and the ending

After the (...), please, read with caution as the ending is going to be sublime (meaning, beautiful yet tragic or sad)

So if you don't want to be heartbroken, I am marking it so you guys could skip it. ♥

Sleepless as I listen to the path of the moon;
Leaving a gentle heart to watch over the years that are remaining,
Even if I've climbed over a thousand mountains and journeyed through beacon fire;
You will always be by my side


--------------------

For the past week before Xiao Zhan's and Wang Yibo's wedding, both stayed at their families' houses. Since Wang Yibo's father was deeply inflicted with traditional Chinese wedding ceremonies, he demanded that it must follow as it is. 

Wang Yibo was forced to return back home and the possibility of seeing Xiao Zhan was harshly denied. Lan Qi Ren confiscated the younger's phone, whenever Wang Yibo traveled to work, he was followed by a few bodyguards and opposed the idea of the two communicating or meeting up.

When the day of the wedding came to be, early in the morning, a sound of knock resonated through the entrance door. Next to the door, outside the house, stood Wang Yibo, dressed in a lavish red in color wedding suit; his upper torso revealed a rosy red tuxedo vest whilst underneath it laid a white shirt. Meanwhile, his lower body was covered with tailored rosy red pants and exceptionally shining black shoes. 

The moment the doors of Xiao Zhan's house opened up, Wang Yibo's eyes widened. Behind the door, stood Xiao Zhan dressed in traditional Chinese groom's gowns plastered with Chinese ornaments on it. Xiao Zhan looked exceptionally beautiful, captivating to the eyes.

Wang Yibo bowed down to Xiao Zhan's sister, Jiang Yanli, and later showed his respect to Wang Zhuo Cheng. He walked through the door frame, meanwhile, Jiang Yanli politely guided him to the small table in the living room. When all four of them kneeled down next to the table, Jiang Yanli brought the tea.

During traditional Chinese ceremonies, a groom is supposed to visit his bride's house and later share a Tsao Chün, Chinese tea, this way, both families are formally introduced and the groom is accepted in the family.

The evaporating tea has been shared between the individuals, so Jiang Yanli and Wang Zhuo Cheng politely left the table and disappeared behind the closed doors. The next minute they reappeared, Jiang Yanli began to speak, "Wang Yibo, as of today, Xiao Zhan will forever be in your care. Cherish him deeply," she said and gently placed a red enveloped on the table.

Lai See, a lucky red envelope is often given to the newlyweds by close family members and dearest friends, where they put a certain amount of money or sometimes luxurious jewelry. Both of the individuals who're about to be wed counts the money in front of the giver as it is expected, that when a marriage of the giver will take place, the receiver is supposed to bring a higher amount of money and gift it as a gift as their blessing for a happy life.

When Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan scrupulously counted the money they received, they bowed to each other before they both bowed to Jiang Yanli and Wang Zhuo Cheng as gratitude. 

Jiang Yanli kindly smiled and spoke, "We will leave for now, and let's meet in the ceremony," as the siblings walked to the entrance door and left the house.
