Chapter 203 Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing's Wedding (5)
Shen Wancheng looked in the direction the gaze was coming from, but didn't see anyone suspicious.
After Shen Wancheng turned to look at him twice, Gu Jinxing suddenly leaned close to her ear and said something.
"Xu Youwei is watching over us."
The Gu and Xu families have been cooperating for many years. Although there has been a recent disagreement, the Gu family has only given the Xu family the cold shoulder and sent out the wedding invitations at the very end, but they still sent them out in the end.
Xu Youwei was quite self-aware and didn't bring any of the younger generation in his family, perhaps because his son had died and he didn't want the other young people in his family to benefit from it.
Shen Wancheng was taken aback when she heard that it was Xu Youwei.
"Xu Youwei? What's he looking at us for?"
The gaze that was just cast wasn't friendly, and Shen Wancheng noticed it because it was different from how others looked at the newcomers.
Gu Jinxing shook his head, "I don't know. To avoid any accidents, you must not be alone in the next two days."
Shen Wancheng rationally felt that even if Xu Youwei harbored hostility towards her or Gu Jinxing for some reason they didn't know about, he wouldn't be foolish enough to make a move at the wedding. However, she still nodded to indicate that she understood.
But it's always good to be on guard at all times.
The wedding ceremony on the second day was the most important event, so the party on the cruise ship didn't go very late and ended at 8:30 pm.
Of course, it was so early that some young people weren't fully engaged and were still playing on the deck.
Gu Jinxing had Guo Muchao take care of things while he led Shen Wancheng back to her room.
Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng's room also had a small balcony (actually a small deck).
Shen Wancheng slept for a long time in the afternoon and was not sleepy at this time. After returning to her room, she took a shower, changed into her pajamas, and then sat on the balcony to enjoy the breeze.
The sea breeze is light tonight, but it's a bit chilly.
After Shen Wancheng finished showering, Gu Jinxing took a blanket out of the room.
But when he came to Shen Wancheng's side, he saw that Shen Wancheng, after removing her makeup and washing up, was like a lotus emerging from the water, giving people a strong contrast between simplicity and beauty, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
Instead of handing the blanket to Shen Wancheng, Gu Jinxing used it as a human blanket, pulling Shen Wancheng into his arms.
Shen Wancheng naturally adjusted to a comfortable position in Gu Jinxing's arms.
Both of them were enjoying the warmth of the moment, and it was a long time before Gu Jinxing finally spoke.
"In the three months since I met you, I've come to understand for the first time what it means to be ordained by fate."
Shen Wancheng's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile.
The scenes of her interactions with Gu Jinxing over the past three months flashed by.
She was certain that her decision to marry Gu Jinxing was a weighing of the pros and cons, but now she could clearly feel that her feelings for Gu Jinxing were changing.
Shen Wancheng was initially reluctant, but seeing the sincerity shown by Gu Jinxing and the Gu family in their serious and careful handling of their wedding and engagement, she felt relieved.
Life can't always be planned and executed rationally. Sometimes, following your heart and feelings can bring unexpected surprises.
Moreover, Shen Wancheng now has the ability to support herself.
Shen Wancheng didn't respond to Gu Jinxing, but instead reached out and hooked her arms around his neck, tilting her head back to kiss him.
His lips were unexpectedly cool, making the kiss feel exceptionally real.
Gu Jinxing stroked the back of Shen Wancheng's neck, naturally deepening the kiss.
With his other hand, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.
Shen Wancheng could feel his heartbeat, one beat after another, gradually coinciding with her own.
The sea breeze gently lifted Shen Wancheng's long hair, and the lights of Victoria Harbour gradually faded into the distance; everything was so beautiful it was unbelievable.

The cruise ship arrived at the harbor of the Gu family's private island in the middle of the night, but no one disturbed the people on board who were sleeping soundly.
Shen Wancheng woke up at six o'clock in the morning.
Gu Jinxing had the cruise ship's waiters deliver breakfast to their room.
Shen Wancheng figured that Shen Yao and Ye Ningshuang wouldn't bother her and Gu Jinxing, so she asked the waiter to call Shen Yao and Ye Ningshuang over for breakfast. They had slept in the same room last night, so it would be convenient to call them.
Gu Jinxing felt uncomfortable talking among the women, so he went to find Liang Muchao and Lu Hanyi.
Shen Yao hadn't been able to find a chance to talk to Shen Wancheng since yesterday morning, which made her very frustrated.
Once they entered Shen Wancheng's room, they started chattering non-stop.
Shen Wancheng listened more than she did before, occasionally offering a word or two in response.
Ye Ningshuang and Shen Wancheng have similar personalities. They are not people who show their emotions outwardly, nor do they talk much. However, like Shen Wancheng, she can also pick up on Shen Yao's words at the right time so as not to make the speaker lose interest.
Therefore, Shen Yao's feelings for Ye Ningshuang have increased dramatically after these two days of contact.
The three of them finished breakfast before seven o'clock, but yesterday's makeup team had already arrived.
Actually, if the wedding ceremony were held separately today, Shen Wancheng could have changed into a modern wedding dress. However, for some reason, Shen Wancheng was not very interested in modern wedding dresses and insisted on wearing the new Chinese-style wedding dress from yesterday.
This wedding dress has a train, making it perfectly suitable for any occasion.
Yesterday we finished all the traditional ceremonies, so today I only need to wear this wedding dress to the wedding ceremony, and then I can change into a more comfortable dress for the toast.
So Shen Wancheng gritted her teeth and had the stylist put on a phoenix crown, unlike yesterday when she only had pearl and jade phoenix hairpins to decorate her hairstyle.
A wedding, after all, must bear its weight in order to be beautiful.
Shen Wancheng's wedding dress had a train several meters long and was made of shimmering brocade, embroidered with intricate double-sided embroidery. Its magnificence was only comparable to that of the phoenix crown.
Shen Wancheng spent more than an hour on makeup and styling, while Shen Yao and Ye Ningshuang also did simple makeup and put on their bridesmaid dresses.
The wedding ceremony started promptly at 10:00 AM. Shen Wancheng waited in her room after getting her hair and makeup done, and then headed directly from the harbor to the wedding venue.
Gu Jinxing went to his villa on Hong Kong Island to prepare, and then went directly to the scene to wait.
Guests on the cruise ship began disembarking at 8:00 AM and arriving at the wedding venue.
At 9:10, Shen Wancheng, accompanied by Shen Yao and Ye Ning, disembarked from the ship and rode in a decorated car to the wedding venue.
The Gu family's private island has long been renovated.
The red carpet stretched from the harbor all the way to the wedding venue, with large clusters of Black Magic Red roses on both sides. This rose variety has petals with a velvety texture, giving it a very high-quality look, and its deep red color also adds to its solemnity.
The fragrance of flowers filled the entire island.
Shen Wancheng rode in a flower-decorated carriage, the kind used by foreign royalty during their street processions.
This was Shen Wancheng's first time riding in a wedding car like this, and the novelty overshadowed the faint nervousness in her heart.
Originally, Shen Yao and Ye Ningshuang were supposed to take a separate electric cart on the island to the wedding venue, but Shen Wancheng pulled them both to ride in his own bridal car.
Sitting on the float and enjoying the scenery along the way is a unique experience.
Not to mention Shen Yao, who came from ancient times, had never seen such a magnificent and beautiful scene, even Ye Ningshuang, who was born and raised in this era, had never seen such a scene before, not even on television.
Ye Ningshuang couldn't help but sigh, "I feel that I am fortunate enough to have witnessed such a wedding, and I have no regrets in this life."
