"Got it." Xu Qingqing smiled, lifted her skirt carefully, and walked towards the door.
Jing Zhen took out a box with a pre - cut hole and shouted to the two people outside.
"There's one last round. During this round, you're not allowed to force the door open. You have to guess seriously."
Lu Chuanbai and Lu Fenglin both nodded in agreement. Jing Zhen opened the door a crack, revealing the hole cut in the cardboard box.
"Now the groom has to put his hand through the hole and shake hands with each person inside one by one, then guess which one belongs to the bride."
"As long as you guess correctly, you can see the bride!"
Saying that, Sun Xinrong put her hand behind the box and let Lu Chuanbai shake hands with her briefly.
Lu Chuanbai immediately ruled out that it wasn't Xu Qingqing's hand.
The second one was Xiao He. To match Xu Qingqing, who used her left hand without the ring mark, Xiao He also used her left hand to shake hands with Lu Chuanbai.
Due to Xiao He's occupation, there was a thin layer of calluses on her hands. Lu Chuanbai immediately recognized that this wasn't Xu Qingqing either.
Xu Qingqing was the third one.
As soon as Lu Chuanbai's fingertips touched Xu Qingqing's hand with his eyes closed, his heart started pounding immediately, excited and thrilled.
Lu Chuanbai didn't even need to think. His body's reaction told him that the person he was shaking hands with was Xu Qingqing.
"It's Qingqing!" Lu Chuanbai shouted confidently.
Jing Zhen in the room joked, "Is it because you've held Xu Qingqing's hand so often that you recognized it right away?"
"Because when I touch her hand... my heart just can't help pounding."
Lu Chuanbai said the truth somewhat shyly.
This answer immediately made the single girls in the room let out moans. They were so sweetly affected that they pounded the wall.
Sun Xinrong leaned over to the blushing Xu Qingqing and whispered in her ear.
"Qingqing, your husband really loves you. His heart beats faster when he touches your hand. You've trained him well."
Xu Qingqing playfully hit Sun Xinrong and sat back on the bed with a blushing face, holding up her wedding dress.
She originally thought Lu Chuanbai had felt the thin calluses and scars on her hands from restoring cultural relics, but unexpectedly, the reason was so emotional.
Lu Chuanbai guessed all the questions correctly, and the bridesmaids happily opened the door to let him in.
Lu Chuanbai saw Xu Qingqing sitting on the bed with her wedding dress spread out. His face flushed instantly, as if he had returned to his young and innocent years.
"You're so beautiful," Lu Chuanbai couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Qingqing covered her face with a smile. Lu Chuanbai bent down and picked her up in a princess carry. As he held Xu Qingqing,
his heart, which was originally numbed by alcohol, started beating even faster. Even Xu Qingqing in his arms could hear it.
Xu Qingqing was slightly surprised and raised her hand to press on Lu Chuanbai's chest. She clearly felt his heart pounding and asked with concern.
"Why is your heart beating so fast? Are you nervous?"
"No," Lu Chuanbai gritted his teeth and refused to admit it. Then he carried Xu Qingqing downstairs.
Xu's father and mother, both dressed in red, had been waiting downstairs for a long time. They were sitting in the main seats in the living room, waiting for Lu Chuanbai to offer them tea.
Lu Chuanbai put Xu Qingqing down. When he picked up the teacup to offer tea to Xu's father and mother, his hands trembled so much that the tea spilled out.
Xu Qingqing couldn't help but raise her hand to hold Lu Chuanbai's hand to help him complete the tea - offering ceremony.
"Dad, Mom, I will definitely... I will treat Qingqing well. Please rest assured and hand her over to me."
Hearing the usually calm Lu Chuanbai stutter on this occasion, Xu's mother burst out laughing and drank the tea Lu Chuanbai offered.
Her son - in - law was so nervous. He must be deeply in love with Xu Qingqing. She had nothing to worry about.
After they both finished offering tea, Xu Qingqing was about to get in the car.
Xu's father held Xu Qingqing's hand reluctantly. His eyes were red, and he kept repeating in his tone.
"Qingqing, come back home more often in the future. Our home will always be your home."
Hearing her father's words, Xu Qingqing couldn't help but have teary eyes. She stopped, raised her hand to hug her father, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Dad, don't worry. I'll come back home often."
Xu's mother folded the tissue and gently wiped Xu Qingqing's tears, for fear of smudging her makeup.
"Okay, get in the car quickly. Don't waste time. Your dad just can't bear to part with you. You'll get used to it."
Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai got in the car, and the luxury car headed for the new house where the wedding would be held.
Their wedding wasn't held in a hotel but in the new house of Xu Qingqing and Lu Chuanbai.
The new house was built on the halfway up a mountain that Lu Chuanbai had bought.
The European - style ancient castle took up most of the mountainside. It was painted in a low - key yet luxurious red - brown color, and the roof of the castle was covered with red tiles, shining brightly in the sun.
The castle had six floors, and each floor was decorated luxuriously and elegantly.
The most eye - catching thing was the huge crystal chandelier on the ceiling of the living room. It was more than two meters wide and two meters long. Crystal butterflies hung down from the lampshade, looking vivid, delicate, and beautiful.
On the green grass outside the castle, delicious food for the guests had already been set out.
Waiters in tailcoats and black - and - white evening dresses gracefully shuttled among the guests who had already arrived.
A thick red carpet was laid all the way from the door of the new house to the foot of the mountain. The luxury cars of the guests who came to the wedding banquet were densely parked at the foot of the mountain.
When they were still two kilometers away from the new house, Xu Qingqing saw the huge castle on the halfway up the mountain. She couldn't help covering her mouth with her hand and turned to look at Lu Chuanbai beside her in surprise.
"Is this our new house?"
Lu Chuanbai nodded with a smile, looking a bit proud.
"I've had people prepare this new house for a long time. It took almost half a year to build. Finally, its mistress is going to move in."
It was impossible for Xu Qingqing not to be touched when she heard this. Lu Chuanbai had fulfilled her childhood dream of being a princess living in a huge and exaggerated castle.
But then Xu Qingqing thought of a more practical problem: "The castle is so big. It must be very difficult to clean."
Lu Chuanbai saw the frown on Xu Qingqing's forehead and reached out to gently smooth it out.
His little wife was really allergic to romance. She always thought of practical consequences.
"I've hired some aunts. They'll clean it regularly."
"But it will cost a lot of money."
Xu Qingqing pouted, but she couldn't bear to say more and make Lu Chuanbai feel disappointed. She raised her hand to hug Lu Chuanbai's arm and squinted at him sweetly.
"My childhood dream was to live in a big castle with a prince. You've fulfilled it for me today."
Saying that, Xu Qingqing straightened her back and kissed Lu Chuanbai on the face. Her soft voice gently brushed past Lu Chuanbai's ear.
"Thank you, my prince."
When the media saw that the new house Lu Chuanbai built for Xu Qingqing was a castle, they all raised their cameras and took a flurry of photos of the castle.
Because Lu Chuanbai didn't want the details inside the wedding to be fully exposed.
