Walking through the crowd, Gu Xiao raised his eyes and immediately met Qin Youbei's gaze.
They had shared deep and affectionate looks before, but never had their hearts pounded so fiercely as in this moment.
The surrounding commotion, the cheers and screams, faded into the background; his heart and eyes were only for her.
Step by step, Gu Xiao approached his bride, adorned in a regal design with a phoenix crown and red veil, making her appear like a figure descended from a painted scene.
She gently lifted the flowing pearls from the crown, glancing shyly at him, her lips slightly curved, face full of allure, gentle and elegant, like the most beautiful Peony Immortal among a field of flowers, waiting in full blossom for her lover.
Standing before Qin Youbei, Gu Xiao didn't rush to take her hand but instead turned to his eldest brother and, just as he had done for the second brother, bowed deeply.
Qin Muchao took Qin Youbei's hand and looked at Gu Xiao.
