There Are Always Teachers Who Want To Ask Out Parents

Chapter 108: Wedding

Marriage is a demanding matter.

On the eve of the wedding, Lu Zhiqiao took a week off and flew with her lover to various locations for on-site pre-wedding photoshoots. Their parents arranged a private jet, and Qi Yan brought her own team along. They flew to three different scenic spots in four days and took sets of wedding photos in various styles.

Finally, they went to a friend's photography studio to take antique-style portraits. They had a themed set called "Spoiled Consort" and another set called "Empress," which they completed using props in the studio.

Qi Yan ordered several sets of small dresses for her daughter, including ones to wear at the wedding and ones for the photoshoots. The styles were complete. The little girl loved beautiful dresses and wore a different set every day, indulging in taking selfies.

At that time, the high school entrance exams had just finished, and it was the weekend. Yan Shuyao felt relieved after the exams and took Lu Wei to play in a flight simulator.

The simulator looked like a large rice cooker from a distance, and the interior space was an exact replica of an aircraft cockpit. It could simulate a realistic flying environment and was more interesting than VR games. The two girls sat on the left and right sides respectively. Yan Shuyao controlled the flight for two laps and looked at her junior sister beside her.

"Give it a try"

She tilted her head and smiled, her full apple cheeks forming a mischievous expression in her deep blue eyes. There was a hint of a rebellious charm, reminiscent of the legendary "bad girl."

Lu Wei was still immersed in the joyful mood of being "taken on a ride" by her senior sister. It took her a moment to snap out of it. Blinking her eyes, she suddenly felt embarrassed and whispered, "I'm not good at flying..."

"It's okay, take it step by step. It's just a simulation."

".... Alright."

After playing a few times and becoming more proficient, Lu Wei had a general understanding of the procedures. Following her memory, she set the initial conditions, and the simulated runway scene appeared on the screen ahead, making her inexplicably nervous. She performed well when playing alone, but with Yan Shuyao watching beside her, she couldn't help but be distracted.

"Sister Yaoyao—"

She tried to speak to ease the tension.

Yan Shuyao knowingly averted her gaze, focusing only on the screen and softly hummed in a nasal voice.

"I'm so envious of you, you don't have to do summer homework after graduation."

"You'll be there soon too. A year will pass in the blink of an eye."

"Uh-huh."

Lu Wei controlled the yoke, maneuvering the airplane and slowly gliding towards the runway. The scene was incredibly realistic. Her palms were sweaty, and she said, "I'll study hard too. I want to go to No. 2 High School as well."

"Okay." Yan Shuyao squinted her eyes. "If you have any difficulties or find chemistry in third year challenging, make sure to ask the teacher and ask me too."

"Uh-huh."

On the screen, there was a straight runway. Lu Wei placed her left hand on the throttle lever and exerted force to push it forward. However, her palm was damp with sweat, causing her hand to slip accidentally without applying enough pressure.

She frowned and bit her lip, nervously looking at Yan Shuyao.

Yan Shuyao lowered her eyes and said nothing. She held Lu Wei's hand, placing it back on the throttle lever, her palm enveloping the back of her hand. With gentle force, she pushed it to the takeoff position on the automatic throttle.

The scene ahead began to accelerate, and the simulated cockpit started shaking.

Yan Shuyao looked at the screen and said softly, "I'll be waiting for you at No. 2."

On the day of the wedding, the sun was shining brightly, with a clear blue sky and fluffy white clouds, resembling a vibrant oil painting.

To make things more convenient, the mothers and daughter stayed at their parents' house two days in advance. The standalone villa became lively without disturbing others, offering more freedom. Early in the morning, Qi Yan and Lu Zhiqiao got up to do their makeup. They dressed in traditional Chinese wedding attire, adorned with elaborate golden embroidery. According to the schedule, they would have a Chinese-style banquet at noon, followed by a Western-style wedding in the evening. It would be a long and tiring day.

The house was decorated in a festive manner, with red double happiness symbols and colorful balloons hanging everywhere, creating a joyful atmosphere.

Around nine o'clock, relatives and friends from the Qi family arrived. From grandparents in their eighties to the recently turned one-year-old niece, as well as a few wealthy classmates of Qi Yan, everyone engaged in warm conversations and laughter, making the house lively.

Most people were meeting Lu Zhiqiao for the first time and couldn't help but be curious. Friends "interrogated" Qi Yan about why she had kept her hidden without any prior information. They jokingly speculated that her beautiful wife shouldn't be exposed to prying eyes.

"I worked so hard to chase after my wife. Without certainty, how could I casually mention it?"

Qi Yan held Lu Zhiqiao close to her, leaning against the edge of the sofa, skillfully dealing with the questions. She was worried that Qiao Qiao might not adapt to the style of these "spoiled children," so she was always ready to smooth things over. However, it was evident that Lu Zhiqiao was in good spirits. She could respond to whatever others said, and Qi Yan was considerate of her dignity.

"Oh, so it was Yan Yan who pursued her!" everyone exclaimed, bursting into laughter.

Everyone in the circle knew that Qi Yan was known for being “wave hits wave”*. She had always been the one being pursued, so it was quite something for someone to make her chase after them.

*only entering relationships with those mutually interested

Qi Yan cleared her throat lightly and turned her head to look at Lu Zhiqiao, who happened to be looking at her too. Their gazes met, and they exchanged a knowing smile.

The younger generation gathered together, while the elders sat in a separate group. The happiest people of all were Qi Yan's parents. Their daughter had played for so many years and had finally found a suitable partner, bringing back another daughter for them. Their hearts were filled with contentment, knowing that their children would take care of each other in the future, whether married or not.

Around eleven o'clock, they set off for the hotel.

Following local customs, the bride had to step over a basin of burning charcoal before leaving her parents' home, symbolizing a fiery and prosperous future. In the courtyard, two silver basins filled with red-hot charcoal were placed. Qi Yan and Lu Zhiqiao held hands as they walked out of the house and stood in front of the charcoal basin, smiling at each other.

Simultaneously, they lifted their legs and stepped over the charcoal basin, feeling the heat beneath their feet and a surge of warmth in their hearts.

A row of luxury cars was parked at the entrance, with a white Rolls-Royce leading the way as the wedding car. The hood was adorned with crimson roses, and in the middle were two doll-like brides wearing wedding gowns. Qi Yan's cousins scrambled to open the car door and welcome them inside.

Qi Yan let Lu Zhiqiao go first, placing one hand on the edge of the car roof and the other on her shoulder. As Lu Zhiqiao got in, Qi Yan adjusted her dress, and only then did she get in herself.

Once they were seated, Lu Zhiqiao tightly held Qi Yan's hand.

"Yan Yan..."

"Mm, I'm here," Qi Yan softly replied, placing her other hand on top of hers.

Lu Zhiqiao gazed deeply into her eyes and smiled, "We're getting married."

"Yes..." Qi Yan took a deep breath, her eyes shimmering with tears. "We're getting married."

Their intertwined hands tightened.

The wedding convoy smoothly made its way to the hotel. The venue was already beautifully arranged, with a traditional Chinese-style banquet held in the main hall. The hall exuded an antique charm and was adorned with strong Chinese influences. Eight large round tables were set up based on the number of invited guests.

Although it was a Chinese-style wedding, it was more of a formality and procedure. The ceremonial aspects were not overly emphasized. After the brides served tea to their parents and completed the traditional hairpin ceremony, the banquet began. Traditional song and dance performances featuring instruments such as the zheng, pipa, and xiao took place on stage, while the guests enjoyed the lively atmosphere.

There were a few hours of rest time in the afternoon. The hotel was located in a resort area with various entertainment facilities, allowing the guests to freely engage in activities.

Around three or four o'clock, Wen Zilong and Shu Minxi arrived.

Everyone gathered in the lounge, sipping tea and enjoying snacks. Most of the friends present had some background or connections, so besides celebrating and having a lively time, they also saw this event as an opportunity to make new friends and expand their social network. Wen Zilong and Shu Minxi didn't have a chance to exchange more than a few words with the newlyweds before they were whisked away by Qi Yan's group of familiar friends.

When people share the same social circle, conversations naturally flow. They understood that during dating or casual relationships, backgrounds and compatibility might not matter much. They didn't mind being with someone who didn't come from a similar background or have aligned values. Looks alone would suffice as eye candy, regardless of gender. However, when it came to marriage, setting aside backgrounds, at the very least, both individuals had to be on equal footing. They had to be prepared to face life seriously.

Even though most people didn't know much about Lu Zhiqiao, they would never underestimate her or make baseless speculations.

Close to five o'clock, Qi Yan and Lu Zhiqiao went to change into their wedding gowns.

Unlike trying on the gown at home, when Lu Zhiqiao put on the deep V-neck and backless wedding dress and saw how much skin was exposed, she became even more shy and nervous. She was afraid that if she took a wrong step, the scanty fabric would slip off.

"Wife~"

Qi Yan had already changed into her own wedding gown. After waiting for a while without seeing Lu Zhiqiao, she impatiently pulled the curtain and barged in. She saw Lu Zhiqiao blushing and standing in front of the mirror, her figure graceful and elegant. The pronounced curves of her chest were prominently displayed, exuding a sexy and charming aura.

Her eyes widened, and her throat unconsciously tightened. Holding the hem of her dress, she walked over, slightly bowing her head as she stared at her two little babies, murmuring, "Qiao, you look so beautiful..."

"Where are your eyes wandering?" Lu Zhiqiao blushed and lightly tapped Qi Yan's arm before turning to the side.

The next moment, she found herself pressed against the wall.

"What should I do, wife? Suddenly, I don't want you to wear this wedding dress," Qi Yan looked at her with a face full of complaints.

"Why?"

"..."

"Mm?"

After struggling for a while, Qi Yan pouted with a childish expression, "There are so many people outside. If you wear this dress, everyone will see everything. My wife should only be seen by me."

Pfft.

"Why are you so cute?" Lu Zhiqiao burst into laughter, reaching up to pinch Qi Yan's cheek. "If we need to exchange dresses,I won't agree to it either. My baby can only be seen by me."

Qi Yan was taken aback. "What am I to you?"

"Baby."

"Say it again?"

"You are... my... baby," Lu Zhiqiao whispered into her ear, enunciating each word.

Qi Yan's face instantly turned red. Like a shy young bride, she extended her index finger and tapped Lu Zhiqiao's forehead, letting out a soft hum from her nose. She grumbled, "You should have called me that a long time ago."

"Do you like it when I call you baby?" Lu Zhiqiao's lips curled into a knowing smile as she asked.

"Mm."

"Baby—"

"Yeah?"

"Yan Yan, my little baby~"

Qi Yan smiled, puffing out her cheeks, and buried her face against Lu Zhiqiao's shoulder. Her eyes were filled with a blissful smile.

They enjoyed each other's company for a while. If time had allowed, Qi Yan, with her impulsive nature, would have wanted to ravish Lu Zhiqiao right there, creating a "wedding dress passion" scene. But as the time was nearing, they had to go out and have their makeup touched up by the makeup artist.

At exactly six o'clock, the guests took their seats.

The banquet hall was magnificent, predominantly adorned in white and gold, resembling a castle where princesses and queens resided. The long red carpet was strewn with pink petals, and the speakers played soft and melodic piano music. Qi Yan stood at the altar, turning to the end of the red carpet, her eyes moist with emotion.

With a bouquet in her right hand and holding Lu Wei's hand with her left, Lu Zhiqiao and her daughter walked confidently, their lips curled into warm smiles, step by step toward Qi Yan.

Petals rained down from the sky, falling upon them in a dream-like manner, on their heads and bodies.

They drew closer and closer to each other.

Qi Yan watched her beloved approaching, unable to contain her emotions, and took a deep breath. Unable to wait any longer, she reached out her hand to her and blinked her eyes, holding back the tears that welled up.

On such a joyous day, one must never cry.

Finally, the mother and daughter stood before her. Lu Wei took her mother's hand and placed it in Qi Yan's palm, grinning and saying, "Little Mom, I'm entrusting my Mom to you. You have to take care of her."

"Don't worry." Qi Yan smiled gently, raising her gaze to Lu Zhiqiao, who was looking at her with deep affection. Her eyes became moist again.

She had to blink forcefully, taking deep breaths, and tightly gripping the person's hand.

Lu Wei turned around and retrieved a velvet box containing the rings from Ms. Lin. With both hands, she handed them over, watching as each mom took one. With her task completed, Lu Wei obediently stepped aside.

The silver rings were adorned with large diamonds, shimmering and reflecting a delicate sparkle under the light. Qi Yan carefully placed the engagement ring on Lu Zhiqiao's ring finger, and Lu Zhiqiao placed the bouquet on the altar. They exchanged rings, locking their gazes with tenderness flowing between them.

The guests rose to their feet, applauding.

The emcee said a few words to liven up the atmosphere, and then asked Qi Yan and Lu Zhiqiao to say a few words to each other.

The microphone was handed to Lu Zhiqiao first. Her hand trembled slightly with excitement, but her gaze remained fixed on Qi Yan's face. Her crimson lips moved, "In this bitter world, your love is my redemption."

Qi Yan’s eyes instantly turned red, but she held back her tears and took the microphone. Her voice choked as she spoke the words she had written on the greeting card, "Amidst a thousand lights, I only want to go to the home where you are."

Their parents wiped away tears below.

They made their vows together, and the applause was incessant.

A ceremony attendant approached, carrying a tray with an opened bottle of wine and two tall glasses, placing them carefully.

Instead of pouring the wine immediately, Qi Yan held up the bottle and gently tapped it, saying, "Over a decade ago, I personally crafted a bottle of sweet red wine at a vineyard in Bordeaux. I stored it in the cellar of the estate, and at that time, I told myself that if one day I met someone with whom I could spend the rest of my life, I would share it with her on our wedding day."

"Today is our wedding day, Qiao, would you like to share it with me?"

This was an addition that Qi Yan specially included in the planned proceedings. There was no commercial label on the wine bottle, only a piece of parchment paper with Qi Yan's name written in ornate calligraphy.

Lu Zhiqiao stared at the wine bottle, feeling a slight constriction in her chest and a tingling in her nose. After a moment, she snapped back to her senses and nodded eagerly, "I would love to."

Qi Yan smiled, turned around, poured one-fifth of the wine into each of the two glasses, and lifted them. One glass for her beloved and one for herself.

At that moment, their hearts were in perfect harmony. Their arms intertwined as they raised their heads and slowly drank the cup of wine that had been aging for over a decade, symbolizing their shared bond.

"Is it sweet?" Qi Yan asked with a smile.

Lu Zhiqiao shyly lowered her gaze and nodded, "Yes, it's sweet."

"The wine or me?"

The person in front of her inched closer, her lips rosy and tantalizing, releasing a subtle breath that was incredibly enticing. Lu Zhiqiao's heart fluttered, her eyes momentarily hazy, and she couldn't help but peck at Qi Yan's corner of the mouth, blushing and smiling, "Yan Yan is the sweetest."

"Oh—"

The guests spontaneously began to cheer and applaud, the applause growing louder and more enthusiastic.

Qi Yan was momentarily stunned, as if vibrant fireworks had exploded in her mind. She joyfully cradled Lu Zhiqiao's face and gently kissed those lips.

The deep kiss lasted for a few seconds, and they blushed as they parted, their lips curving into smiles of pure happiness.

Outside, a few loud booms could be heard, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, they could see colorful fireworks blossoming in the night sky. Sparkles streaked across the heavens, disappearing among the stars, creating a dazzling display that merged into a sea of fireworks.

Lu Zhiqiao turned around and raised the bouquet in her hands, tossing it behind her.

The crowd stood up and scrambled to catch the bouquet, but it landed perfectly in the arms of Shu Minxi. The host offered many words of blessings, and everyone laughed and cheered.

Amidst the laughter and joy, Qi Yan embraced Lu Zhiqiao.

"I love you." 

"I love you too."
