Chapter 846: Good In Water, Good At Playing
The woman seemed to smile. The smile faded for a moment.
“Sure.”
The woman put Fang Zikai down. Fang Zikai stared at his stomach in a daze again.
How sad. How could he lose weight?
At the side, Qiao Jiusheng secretly asked Fang Yusheng, “Do you know that person?”
“Who?”
Qiao Jiusheng pointed at the woman in the red dress diagonally behind Fang Zikai.
Fang Yusheng shook his head. He asked Suzanne and the others, “Do you know that lady?”
Suzanne frowned and said, “I don’t know her name, but when I arrived, I heard someone call her CEO Ji.”
“CEO Ji?”
...
Fang Yusheng gave Qiao Jiusheng this answer.
Qiao Jiusheng rolled her eyes. The world was so big, and there were so many people with the surname Ji. The answer was as good as no.
With the interlude between CEO Ji and Fang Zikai, the atmosphere became lively. The group of people who didn’t know each other began to chat.
…
Unlike other people’s marriages, Xiao Li did not walk the red carpet hand in hand with her parents or older brother.
She had walked the red carpet with Zhuang Long.
The two of them, one in a white dress and the other in a black suit, walked over hand in hand. Along the way, they had walked together, be it in joy or sorrow. They had accompanied each other throughout the journey.
Everyone stood up, staring at them in silence.
Xiao Li usually lived a high-profile life, and she always wore luxurious clothes, but today, she was wearing a simple wedding gown with straps. The wedding gown reached the floor, and there was no exaggerated extravagant skirt, nor a veil that extended to the floor. Her golden hair was pulled back into a low bun today, and she was wearing a ta.s.sel headdress on the right.
This wedding, whether it was the groom, the bride, or the venue, was extremely simple.
Qiao Jiusheng had also heard that all the expenses for this wedding were paid by the two of them.
What was equality between men and women? This was true equality.
Zhuang Qilin was also wearing a custom-made black suit today. He had been helping his parents from behind the scens. In one moment, he was helping his mother carry the bouquet of flowers, and in the next, he was helping her hand over the ring. He was taking care of the best man and bridesmaid duties alone. Zhuang Long and Xiao Li’s wedding vows were also very ordinary. There was no emotional speech. Everything was very simple, but it revealed warmth.
After the ceremony, everyone moved to the large dining room in the hall for lunch.
When Zhuang Long gave his speech, he didn’t say much. There was only one sentence. When he spoke, his gaze and expression were especially serious. He said, “Ah Li, I’ve accompanied you to see the sunrise, sunset, and starry sky in Monterey. We’ve also seen the prosperity of New York City. I also want to accompany you to see your children and grandchildren. We’ll be stumbling around together.”
With that, he put down the microphone and kissed Xiao Li.
Suzanne complained, “This guy has suddenly become so serious and affectionate. I’m not used to it.”
She wasn’t the only one who wasn’t used to it. No one else was.
“I think G.o.dfather looks especially handsome in a black suit today.” Fang Zikai had wanted to say this for a long time.
Hearing this, Fang Zicheng, who rarely gossiped, also nodded. After that, he added solemnly, “He’s indeed handsome.”
After lunch, these big shots left.
In the end, only Fang Yusheng and the others were left.
In the evening, Zhuang Long and the others held a small dance. This was the first time Zhuang Long had danced with Xiao Li, and he was actually a little nervous. The two of them had held this wedding without hesitation, and they had not prepared in advance. Xiao Li planned to dance at the wedding, but she did not intend to dance in the traditional Latin or duet style. Instead, she chose a hot dance.
Zhuang Long’s limbs were uncoordinated. Two nights before the wedding, he made last-minute efforts to learn a few moves from his teacher. When it was time for the banquet, he put on a suit and stood side by side with Xiao Li. The music began, and Xiao Li danced with gusto, but he danced comically.
There was a single step where Xiao Li looked handsome and seductive when he did it. Zhuang Long could not learn this move no matter what. When he danced, he danced especially awkwardly, and his dance made one burst into laughter. Fang Zikai fell into Qiao Jiusheng’s arms, laughing. “Hahaha! G.o.dfather danced like a duck.”
Fang Zikai’s voice was especially loud, and everyone heard him.
Hearing this, the entire hall burst into laughter.
Xiao Meng was also watching from the side. She stared at her son’s comical dance and laughed until tears welled up in her eyes.
This was great. Her Xiaobao had finally found happiness.
Zhuang Long could not run away at the last minute. He braced himself and finished dancing with Xiao Li. With a flushed face, he slipped into the crowd and cleared the dance floor for the guests.
After fooling around for a while, they each went home.
…
Xiao Li removed her makeup and applied a facial mask while taking a bath.
Zhuang Long’s master bathroom was the most luxurious in the entire house. The round bathtub was three meters long and could accommodate two people. Xiao Li was soaking in warm water lazily. She took off her mask and washed her face with clean water, then closed her eyes to rest.
The sound of running water could be heard. Xiao Li narrowed her eyes and saw Zhuang Long enter the bathtub.
He had taken off his trousers and jacket. He was wearing a black s.h.i.+rt and a pair of s.e.xy briefs.
Xiao Li’s gaze swept across Zhuang Long’s thigh.
Zhuang Long walked to her side. Without flirting or spouting nonsense, he grabbed her chin with his right index finger, lowered his head, and kissed her pa.s.sionately. Xiao Li cooperated and opened her blue eyes which were filled with provocation.
In terms of love affairs, Xiao Li had always been open-minded.
She wrapped herself around Zhuang Long and pushed him into the bathtub.
With a splash, Zhuang Long’s body fell into the bathtub. A few seconds later, his head emerged from the water. Zhuang Long rubbed his wet hair. His black s.h.i.+rt was wet, and formed a thin layer that clung to his body. One could vaguely make out his muscles, which were not obvious but full of strength.
After recovering from his illness, Zhuang Long was a little different from before. His gaze was no longer frivolous, and he always seemed far-reaching and affectionate.
Without saying a word, he looked at Xiao Li quietly and raised his eyebrows slightly. “What are you doing?”
Xiao Li swam over and pushed him to the edge of the bathtub to sit down. Zhuang Long raised his arms and placed them on the wall of the bathtub.
Xiao Li said, “I’m very good at swimming. The longest time I’ve been in the water was eight minutes.”
“Huh?” Zhuang Long did not understand what Xiao Li meant.
Xiao Li smiled and sank into the water.
Zhuang Long’s breathing quickened. He was stunned.
He looked down at Xiao Li, his eyes a little dazed. More than that, he was determined to win.
Finally, he had defeated the demon in the darkness. His angel was within his reach.
…
Zhuang Long carried Xiao Li to the bedroom. He placed her on the bed, but she was not sleepy.
Zhuang Long went to take a shower himself, put on clean clothes, and went to the underground wine room to get a bottle of red wine. He found a gla.s.s and returned to his room with the wine. He pushed open the gla.s.s door and went to the balcony. The night sky in July was also hot. Fortunately, there was a trace of cool wind, so it was not too stuffy.
