Next Morning, 8:00 a.m., The Imperial Palace ;"Yuan has some meeting to attend, apparently. He left early this morning. Promised that he will arrive before the wedding ceremony begins.", Rong Xinghe said, pouring down whiskey for herself as she looked at her brothers trying out different suits.
"Navy Blue or Hickory Brown. Select one for me.", Zhi Al turned to look at the girl, holding onto two suit-sets in both his hands.
"Umm... The Azure Blue one, brother.", the girl pointed her chin towards the armchair behind the man, "Your girlfriend, Feng Mian, prefers that color."
"How do I look?", Su Rogguang"s voice interrupted the siblings as he stepped out of the changing room, b.u.t.toning up his royal golden slim fit tuxedo.
"Is it weird that I find my brothers hot?", Rong Xiao laughed, swirling her gla.s.s of wine.
"Not at all.", Zhi Xi smiled, planting soft kisses against the Rong twins" foreheads.
"Where is the groom, by the way?", Rong Xinghe ran her gaze through the lavish yet chaotic suite. "Don"t tell me he ran away."
"Of course he didn"t!", Ningtao walked into the room, s.n.a.t.c.hing the girls" gla.s.ses from their hands, "Each one of us is supposed to be in their finest senses before the wedding, okay? And why are you two not dressed up yet? Come on. The hairstylists and makeup teams are waiting for the groom"s sisters. Go and get changed in my suite."
"But where is bro Mo?", Rong Xiao asked.
"He is still nervous about the vows. So kind of... rewriting everything.", Songyan joined in into the conversation, "You know he can be a little paranoia sometimeṣ."
"Yes. About that, Mr. Husband...", Ningtao turned to cup Lu Wei"s face with her hands, "Could you guys a.s.sist your troubled brother over there in the hallway?"
"Of course.", Lu Wei laughed, pulling his wife in for a quick kiss.

"So what did brothers say about your sudden perspective change regarding marriage?", Rong Xiao asked the girl, resting her head against the leather chair, allowing the makeup artists to ma.s.sage her face with the moisturizer.
"They were unexpectedly fine, actually. They were mostly against the idea of me leaving them, after the wedding. But after I a.s.sured them that nothing would change, they were pretty supportive. It seems like they"ve been bonding a lot with Yuan lately. Bro Al even addressed him as "Brother-in-law". Can you believe it?!", Rong Xinghe replied through the other side of the changing room, stripping off of her clothes.
"Oh! His imagination isn"t still as wild as mine. I literally imagined you holding onto your and brother-in-law"s babies in the maternity ward, you know? That too, triplets.", the girl laughed.
"Shut up, Xiao!"
"Honestly, when is the official proposal?!", Rong Xiao questioned.
"Not anytime soon. With Rong Yufan into the mix, I just can"t think about that.", Rong Xinghe sighed, "It was just a normal chat. And it"s great to know that he is on the same page as me. We both want to take the "next beg step". That"s already huge. For me, it is."
"That"s true.", Rong Xiao agreed, "There is no point in getting your hopes high. You both are way too busy to think about another wedding, right?"
"Exactly."
While the girl changed her clothes, Rong Xiao gestured her makeup artists to stop whatever they were doing and picked up her phone, browsing for her Brother-in-law"s number. After thinking for some time, the girl finally sent him a text message.
"Brother-in-law, Mission Proposal is still on."

4:00 p.m., The Imperial Palace ;
Mo Zixuan and Cheng Tai were both standing at the end of the aisle, reading vows to each other, under the scrutiny of the dignified guests and the reverend. Cheng Tai looked alluring and striking in her White Mermaid-style off-shoulder gown. And the charms of the groom were no less too. Suited up in Black and Burgundy, Mo Zixuan stole the hearts, of not just the bride, but the other women too. Yet, he was already prepared to devote his entire life to the one in front of him.
"Rings, please?", the old reverend turned to look at the five groomsmen standing behind Mo Zixuan.
"Cupcakes, come here!", Zhi Al clicked his fingers, pouting at the two "brand-new" members of the Superfamily, eliciting a wave of giggles and awes of admiration, from the crowd.
As if on cue, Little Alix jumped down her White leather couch, holding onto Baby Taio"s index finger, within the whole of her fist. Like the little princess and the prince, the two reached their Uncle Mo shortly after. What seemed like a wobbly walk to the guests was a genuine struggle for the two little siblings.
Zhi Bo then bent down, pulling out the two velvet boxes from the basket Little Alix was carrying around. He then stood up and pa.s.sed the boxes to Zhi Xi.
Mo Zixuan looked through the crowd and spotted his two sisters, standing by Elder Lu"s side. And then, at Cheng Tai"s mother, sitting beside the Xi Family Elders. This was it. His entire family was there. Taking in a deep breath, the man fixed his gaze upon the woman in front of him.
"There is no going back after this, Tai. So are you sure you want to do this?", the man smiled, placing the wedding ring around the tip of her left hand"s third finger.
"I can"t wait.", Cheng Tai laughed, tears stinging the corner of her eyes.
:::::::::::
At this time, Rong Xinghe"s phone rang up. Since it was on the vibration mode, the ceremony wasn"t disturbed. The girl looked at the screen and Ashfakh Ali"s name popped up on it.
"This better be worth it, Ashfakh.", the girl groaned.
"I love you too, Baby.", the man spoke up, "Here is the thing. There might be an electromagnetic bomb planted right into the heart of the City A. I just recieved a lead. The Stark Square, which is clearly, meters away from The Imperial Palace. That puts your entire family and those hundreds of guests, at fatal risk.
"But that isn"t the worst part. I am not able to get through, to the bomb squad. So right now, I am on my way to the location. But the problem is, you are better at diffusing bombs than me. So it would be lovely if you could get yourself over there.
"And yeah! Congratulations. The "Super" Wedding just got horrifyingly thrilling! I guess the Six men are really the magnets to danger, aren"t they?"
