Chapter 157: Just a kiss, the bride and groom both flinched
Chapter 157: Just a kiss, the bride and groom both flinched
The wealthy families in Haicheng usually choose to hold their weddings at the most luxurious Haicheng International Hotel.
Gu Jingzhou and Ye Zisan also chose this place for their wedding banquet.
A week later, they went to get their marriage certificate, and half a month later, they officially held their wedding.
During this half month, Su Xiaoxiao had not seen Gu Jingzhou.
The two parties have never contacted each other by phone.
Gu Jingzhou and Ji Xingyuan did meet at the Beishuiwan Resort construction site, but they only talked about official business regarding the project.
They all tacitly avoided talking about his marriage.
After all, the done deal is done.
Nothing more can be said to change anything.
On the wedding day, since both the Gu family and the Ye family were well-known in Haicheng, they invited many guests to the banquet.
As relatives of the groom, Su Xiaoxiao and Ji Xingyuan arrived at the banquet hall early to watch the ceremony.
Unlike them, the bride and groom walked down the aisle hand in hand sweetly.
The bride, Ye Zisan, held her father's arm as he led her down the long red carpet toward the groom, Gu Jingzhou.
Such a scene seems more solemn than romantic.
The emcee followed the usual procedure, inviting the fathers of both the bride and groom to the stage to give speeches, and then reading the wedding vows, exchanging rings, and the bride and groom kissing.
The previous processes went smoothly.
Su Xiaoxiao was a little skeptical. She thought that Gu Jingzhou and Ye Zisan were really serious about getting married this time, and it was not just a momentary impulse.
But the kiss between the bride and groom at the end instantly overturned her doubts.
When the emcee took the microphone and said loudly with a smile on his face: "Now, please let the groom kiss the bride!"
Su Xiaoxiao and all the guests in the audience now looked at Gu Jingzhou and Ye Zisan on the stage.
Gu Jingzhou slowly lowered his head, followed the host's instructions, and prepared to kiss Ye Zisan.
However, when they were about to reach her cheek, both of them escaped.
Ye Zisan's face immediately turned to the side, while Gu Jingzhou's face retreated a little.
The emcee was a little confused when he saw this scene.
These two have exchanged rings, but neither of them is willing to kiss. How can they be so twisted?
He had presided over many marriages between wealthy and powerful families before. No matter how reluctant some of the newlyweds were to get married, they would still cooperate and put on a basic show for everyone to see.
He was about to speak to mediate and make their wedding ceremony a success.
Then Gu Jingzhou and Ye Zisan whispered to each other at the same time: "I'm sorry."
After they finished speaking, both of them looked a little embarrassed.
Because when he got close to Ye Zisan's face just now, what came to Gu Jingzhou's mind was the scene of him and Su Xiaoxiao kissing.
What I miss is the feeling of kissing her.
He was not ready yet, and he was thinking about kissing her, but he was kissing another woman.
As for Ye Zisan, when Gu Jingzhou was about to kiss her, what she just remembered was the scene of her being bullied by those three foreign thugs on that dark night in the United States.
Since that incident, except for Ji Xingyuan who carried her to the hospital that night.
She would subconsciously feel repulsed or even disgusted by any close physical contact with her by any member of the opposite sex.
Although she had been counseled by a psychologist.
However, if it weren't for the psychologist's verbal counseling, she would have pretended that this tragic and profound physical and mental double injury had never happened.
For her, that kind of hurt was a nightmare-like memory that she could never let go of or erase.
Even though she had already convinced herself in her heart that she was willing to accept Gu Jingzhou exercising the rights that a husband should have towards her.
But her body hasn't convinced her yet.
She wasn't ready for him to do something as intimate as kissing her.
However, she was somewhat surprised that Gu Jingzhou would back out at the last minute.
He couldn't even kiss her.
Has he not let go of Su Xiaoxiao yet, or does he dislike her dirty body?
Ye Zisan's eyes, like an ink painting, were dim.
At this moment, she only felt a little sad, a little lost, and a little upset.
But, I didn't feel relieved.
The host saw them say "sorry" to each other and then lower their heads in silence, which made the scene a little awkward.
The guests also started talking.
He quickly smiled and said to warm up the atmosphere, "The bride and groom must be a little embarrassed to kiss in front of so many of us. Come on, let's give them a round of applause and support them!"
Someone in the audience immediately clapped and shouted, "Give me a kiss, give me a kiss!"
One person responded, which immediately caused a response from everyone. Many guests were clapping and shouting for them to give a kiss.
Su Xiaoxiao and Ji Xingyuan were sitting closer to them and couldn't help but worry about them.
What are these two people thinking?
You've already got the certificate and are a legal couple. It's just a kiss, so why are you still feeling awkward now?
Seeing so many guests making a fuss, Gu Jingzhou did not stand there motionless, but he also did not cooperate with the host or satisfy the guests' booing.
He calmly turned to the emcee and said, "The rings have been exchanged, the ceremony is complete, and the other steps are omitted."
"Huh? Oh, good!"
The host was shocked for a moment, as he thought Gu Jingzhou would cooperate.
Since the groom is unwilling to cooperate, the bride is unwilling to take the initiative.
He, the emcee, was helpless.
Afterwards, they had no choice but to declare the ceremony over, ending this imperfect and less joyful wedding ceremony somewhat awkwardly.
Gu Bodao, Lin Jiahui, and Ye Zisan's parents all looked a little unhappy in the audience.
When Gu Jingzhou and Zi Shan were dining with them later, Lin Jia Hui gently and tactfully rebuked him, "Jingzhou, since you and Zi Shan are married, you should be more enthusiastic towards her and not treat her unfairly."
"Mom, I know."
"I'm glad you know." Lin Jiahui glared at him.
Then he turned around and smiled warmly and greeted everyone: "My relatives, Zishan, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoji, everyone, please feel free to eat more."
Marry a current partner with whom you have no emotional connection.
Sitting at the wedding table are the exes you still have deep feelings for and the secret crush you still have deep feelings for.
And these two happen to be a loving and sweet couple.
For the bride and groom, Gu Jingzhou and Ye Zisan, this wedding banquet was filled with mixed emotions. Their hearts were in turmoil and they didn't want to talk.
Whatever you say will seem unnatural.
At the Roman Western Restaurant, the two decided to get married that night.
They both thought that since they had made the decision to get married, they would be able to calmly deal with everything that would come next.
Including this wedding.
But when the wedding actually came, they realized comically that they had all overestimated themselves.
Also overestimated the other party.
It was just a kiss in public, but neither of them could do it.
Just as the bride and groom, they were having dinner at the same table with Su Xiaoxiao and Ji Xingyuan, but they couldn't act calmly at all, let alone chat and laugh.
Can they still create happiness after marriage?
Gu Jingzhou didn't know.
Ye Zisan didn't know either.
All they knew was that they were heading down a road with an unknown future.
