Gu Juexi raised his brows slightly. The Xiao family’s house wasn’t big. The distance from the guest room to the living room was quite short, so before Gu Juexi could answer, they had already arrived at the living room.
 
When Ye Yuwei looked away from Gu Juexi to the people sitting in the living room, her smile froze.
 


The one sitting on the couch wasn’t Mr. Xiao or Mrs. Xiao.
 
It was Bai Ying.
 
Bai Ying was also staring at Ye Yuwei, her daughter, who was about to get married.
 

I mentioned before that I would give you a surprise on our wedding day,
Gu Juexi whispered and gently put Ye Yuwei on the ground.
 
Ye Yuwei couldn’t believe her eyes. She didn’t dare to blink in case that person disappeared from her sight.
 



Mom,
Ye Yuwei said softly, her voice filled with surprise and doubt.
 
Bai Ying put her hands out, and Ye Yuwei rushed into her embrace.
 
Ye Yuwei kneeled on the floor and buried herself in Bai Ying’s lap.
 
Gu Juexi followed the tradition and kneeled next to Ye Yuwei.
 

You can’t cry on your wedding day.
Bai Ying wiped the tears off Ye Yuwei’s face.
 



Mom.
Ye Yuwei raised her head, her makeup slightly smudged.
 
Bai Ying looked at Gu Juexi.
Gu Juexi, I have only one daughter. I officially hand her over to you from today onwards.

 
Gu Juexi nodded.
Mom, don’t worry. I will protect her and let her live happily without any sorrow.

 
That was the first time Gu Juexi had called Bai Ying ‘Mum’.
 
Ye Yuwei was moved beyond words.
 


One was the person closest to her, and the other was the most important person in her life. They were both right next to her now.
 
Bai Ying took Ye Yuwei’s hand and placed it in Gu Juexi’s hands. Mrs. Xiao had brought out a bowl of glutinous rice balls.
Eat these first. It signifies reunion.

 
They were familiar with this tradition. PA Wen and Xiao Yaojing had almost choked to death eating these rice balls on their wedding day.
 
These glutinous rice balls were different from the usual ones. They had different flavours such as sweetness, bitterness, sourness and saltiness to represent the different phases one had to go through in life.
 
PA Wen’s idea made Xiao Yaojing believe she married the right man.
 


Gu Juexi had consulted PA Wen on this. PA Wen’s way was simple—if the rice balls were salty, bitter or sour, the groom would eat most of them and let the bride eat a little. If the rice ball was sweet, the groom would eat a little and let the bride eat the rest.
 
Gu Juexi firmly believed his assistant was traitorous.
 
But he still followed in his footsteps.
 
Therefore, Gu Juexi ate most of the glutinous rice balls nonchalantly and left a sweet one for Ye Yuwei.
 
Xiao Yaojing held Ye Xicheng’s hand and stood next to PA Wen.
You taught him that? I’m curious though, why would Gu Juexi agree to take part in a commoner-style wedding?

 
It was surprising for a man like Gu Juexi who wanted an extravagant wedding to want to follow the traditional aspects of the wedding.
 
PA Wen carried Xixi in his arms and thought about the answer.
Perhaps it’s because Young Mistress is a commoner.

 
Xiao Yaojing considered it.
Seems like Gu Juexi had suffered a grievance.
 
After eating the rice balls, Gu Juexi returned the bowl to Mrs. Xiao. He continued kneeling, waiting for further instructions from Bai Ying.
