CHAPTER 449

Before things could evaluate into any more harsh verbal exchange, grandpa Bai quickly spoke up. He had noticed that some guests were behind them.

It would not be nice if people got a wind of their discussion. Bai Guiren nodded in understanding.

"Alright. I'll see you later, Mrs Jiang, father-in-law, Mr and Mrs Li," he smiled at them.

"Hmm," Mr Li gave a slight nod.historical

As soon as they left, Old man Jiang let out a scoff. "Hmph. Who does the nincompoop think he is calling father-in-law?"

"Calm down, dad. Don't let them ruin your day," Jiang Meilin rubbed his back.

"Meilin is right," Mrs Li said.

"Alright."

More guests came in and they were there to thank them for coming. After a while, they decided it was time for them to take their seats at their table.

Being the best father figure for the bride, Old man Jiang said a few words before announcing the arrival of the bride and the groom.

"... Now let's welcome this year's newest, most beautiful couple. Please give them your heartfelt applause!"

As soon as those words left his lips, a spotlight lit up on the peak of the stairs at the corner close to the podium. There the couple was seen standing with full bright smiles.

The guests clapped as they made their way down. With every step, she took, the fled in her winter blue mermaid dress would spread revealing a pair of finely polished nails in sparkling transparent blue heels.

The dress had a deep V-neck line that showed a little of her cleavage. The dress had a wider spaghetti hand, a losing her slender arms. Her ears were adorned with earrings that looked like winter ?? flowers.

Even her hair was made into another bridal bun with few strands allowed to frame her small face. Li Fengjin was not out of place either.

He wore a matching winter blue suit but of a dark colour. But his tie was the same as his wife's dress. His shoes were glossy and shining and one could tell that he must have cost a fortune knowing the famous brand it was from.

His jet black hair was gelled backwards a few strands left were enough to shade one of his fine eyebrows. The guests were once again awed by how beautiful they were and meant for each other.

They were really dressed according to their title, winter couple. As they stepped onto the stage, the applauds slowly died down.

"I will let our newest groom say a few words to begin the party," Old man Jiang said before passing the microphone to Li Fengjin.

"Thank you, grandpa. Also, thank you all for your applauding welcome," he thanked.

"Well... First of all, I would like to advise you all to take a loo break before I start because I might be saying a lot," Li Fengjin joked to ease the atmosphere.

The once quiet hall erupted in laughter at his words. But even with his warning, nobody stood up because none of them wanted to miss out on anything... Not even the first word he would say.

"Alright, since no one is moving, I will start. But don't say I didn't warn you," he said again in case anyone had a change of mind.

Exhaling sharply, Li Fengjin began.

"Apart from my first thanks, I would love to give thanks to my family and friends, and everyone else who had a role to play in our wedding. I also want to show my thanks with sincerity to every single one of you, for taking out of your time and busy schedule to be here to witness and celebrate this union."

"It's no big deal, groom Li Fengjin," someone shouted from the crowd states below the raised podium.

"I see. Nonetheless, thank you very much." Li Fengjin smiled and turned to gaze down at the fairy beside him. "Then, I would like to appreciate the love of my life."

"Aww!" The ladies said all at once.

Li Fengjin took one of her small hands in his big one. "Renxiang... My wife, my life and my love... Thank you for existing. Thanks for letting me love you and you, love me. Thanks for the little bundle of joy you gave me as a son."

Then looking toward the guests, he remarked. "If I had known my life would be as wonderful as it is, I would have married her soon. The married men can relate to that, right"

Married men: "Of course."

Li Fengjin gave brief words about his previous days with Bai Renxiang. Some of which the guests found funny and for her it was embarrassing she could not help but blush.

Before anyone could realize what was happening, they all felt free and whatever tension there was had completely dissipated. And in due time, Li Fengjin wrapped up his speech.

"Now let us raise our glasses for a toast."

Saying that was a cue for a waiter to climb up the little stairs to the podium and gave the couple, each a glass of wine.

"Let us toast, to mine and my wife's parents, our friends, every guest and a new marital journey filled with bliss... Cheers," Li Fengjin raised his glasses to them.

"Cheers!!" Everyone did the same thing.

CLANK

The sound of glass cups slightly touching, filled the room before they all took a little sip of the wine.

"Let the party begin as we eat, drink and make merry," Li Fengjin announced.

"Yes!"

He and Bai Renxiang move down to the floor to join their friends at their table. Guests began to move to get whatever they wanted from the rows of tables set for food and snacks alike.

As they are, the waiters in black and white uniforms moved around with trays. But instead of wines, there were wrapped gifts on those trays. Each was brought to every table without any mistake.

As they were informed by the waiters, they were all gifts courtesy of the bride and groom.
