Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 640 - 620 - Grand Wedding (Part 1)

Chu Yanhan, having agreed to the marriage of the two, went to great lengths to please Xia Tingxuan. Not only did he formally announce Jiayi’s identity to the Yunling media, but he also made a phone call back to China, arranging for the Chu Family to prepare a generous dowry, which was then expedited to China overnight.

The press release from the Chu Family revealed the identity of Ms. Chu, Huo Zhenyang’s erstwhile secret lover.

It was like a small bomb had been dropped, immediately causing a huge stir.

Of course, the majority of public opinion was positive.

At first, everyone thought Jiayi had no name or status when she followed Huo Zhenyang, and having a child out of wedlock, surely she couldn’t be from a respectable family.

Now, as she was about to become the young mistress of the Huo Family by marrying the mayor, people harbored thoughts like, "Wow, this woman really is fortunate/lucky."

As it turned out, the mayor’s lover came from a family that was not of low standing, and it was a match of equal social rank.

Although the neighboring country’s Chu Family might not be as wealthy as the Huo Family, they were nonetheless a long-standing and prestigious family in their own country.

What’s more, the bride’s father had a dukedom that had been passed down through generations.

In other words, the Chu Family might not be rich enough to upset a nation, but their bloodline was not inferior.

Consequently, the comments on the internet and in the media that viewed Jiayi with skepticism immediately turned into praise for a match made in heaven for the young couple.

On the wedding day, everything proceeded smoothly and in an orderly fashion.

The Huo Family dispatched a hundred custom, limited edition gold-painted luxury cars to pick up the bride. Upon arriving at Green Island Garden, Huo’s bodyguards immediately secured all the entrances to the neighborhood so tightly that not even water could escape.

Journalists who were following the entire event and reporting from behind the bodyguards, with their cameras and video recorders at the ready, were waiting for the bride to appear.

The journalists who were filming the entire event had already received red envelopes from the Huo Family in advance, each one bulging with cash, a fact that made them exclaim in surprise at the generosity of the young master Huo.

Yunling had never seen a wedding ceremony as grand and unprecedented as this one.

The illustrious mayor, embodying a union of both business and political elite, taking a bride, would not only be a momentous event at this moment, but it would also go down in coastal history as a tale highlighted with bold strokes.

When the couple reached the grand cathedral in Yunling, daytime fireworks leaped into the coastal skies, bursting into a display of colorful flowers, and the journalists caught a clear view of the woman that young master Huo was about to officially acknowledge.

Chu Yanhan, playing the role of the bride’s father, escorted the bride along the expensive red carpet towards the cathedral doors, then stopped, preparing to officially start the ceremony.

The young and lovely bride had skin so delicate it seemed one could blow it away, her fair complexion flawless like white jade cream; her delicate beauty and ethereal grace nearly stopped everyone’s breath. Her unique baroque waltz wedding gown, a dress without match in this world, perfectly complemented the bride, causing all the wedding guests in the audience to halt their chatter.

Standing at the side of the platform in the cathedral, Huo Zhuoting, the groom, also looked striking and celestial today, his impeccable, custom-fitted wedding attire accentuating the golden ratio of his physique as he awaited the bride’s arrival.

The little flower child was none other than Huo Zhuoting’s and Miss Chu’s Little Baozi, the four-year-old eldest grandchild of the Huo Family, Huo Zhuoting; he wore a custom tailcoat today, and his plump, white, round face somewhat resembled his mommy’s, adorably tempting onlookers to give him a pinch.

"Wow, Miss Chu really is a winner in life."

"Isn’t she just..."

...

At this moment, this "winner in life" couldn’t help but lift her eyes and stealthily glance at the man across the red carpet.

Ever since that night when he secretly came to Green Island Garden and left in displeasure, Jiayi hadn’t seen him again until today’s formal ceremony.

She guessed he was probably still a bit angry.

Even on the wedding car driving to the cathedral earlier, he had been silent the whole way, brooding with a handsome face that was already cool to begin with, not saying a word to her.

Men really can be so petty.

She pouted.

Is it just because she had rejected him a few times that he has to give her such a scowl?

To actually hold a grudge until now.

Her gaze shifted and settled on a figure, and her expression became focused once again.

Nie Yixiao had arrived early and was now sitting in one of the rows on the bride’s side of the church, accompanied by two subordinates in black attire.

He was dressed to the nines today, indicating the importance he placed on this wedding. Upon seeing Jiayi’s arrival, he stood up. His tall and well-proportioned body instantly caused a soft gasp among the female guests. His clear, handsome eyes were filled with tenderness and blessings, radiating a faint smile that focused solely on one person.

At this moment, his world contained only her.

Her eyes met Nie Yixiao’s just as it seemed a gust of wind had rippled the waters in her heart. Her steps slowed for a beat. She steadied her emotions and gave a slight nod, her smile blooming.

Taking advantage of the fact that the ceremony hadn’t officially started yet, Nie Yixiao walked towards Jiayi, "Congratulations."

The two subordinates followed him.

Jiayi looked at the man before her with mixed feelings, "Thank you, Brother Yixiao."

He had said that he would definitely attend her wedding day. By participating in her wedding today, he had fulfilled this wish of his.

Yet for some reason, Jiayi still felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, "Will you leave China after the wedding is over?"

Nie Yixiao’s eyelashes quivered slightly, and something shimmered in his gaze. She didn’t hold any grudges against him anymore and even felt a sense of longing. For him, that was already enough.

He gathered his energy, not wanting his presence to spoil her mood as a bride. Leaning closer to her ear, he joked:

"Of course not. After the ceremony, I’ll also attend your wedding banquet. Unless you don’t want me to."

She knew he didn’t want to spoil the mood by bringing up leaving at this moment and also put on a brave smile, asking nothing more.

Although the actions between the two weren’t too intimate, for a bride and a male guest, it was enough to get the guests murmuring among themselves.

If it weren’t already known who the groom was, at this moment, they looked more like a golden boy and jade girl about to step into the wedding hall.

"Who is that gentleman?"

"I don’t know... But considering where he’s sitting, he must be a guest from the bride’s side. Maybe a cousin or something?"

"I don’t think so. Didn’t you see how they looked at each other? That doesn’t look like a brother gazing at his sister, does it?"

"Could it be Mrs. Huo’s ex-boyfriend?"

"Probably is. How could a beauty like Mrs. Huo not have had men chasing after her?"

"Wow, Mrs. Huo’s ex-boyfriend is so handsome, and they look so good together."

"Shh... Keep it down, don’t talk nonsense. If young master Huo hears you, you won’t be able to walk away unscathed!"

"But, that being said, our esteemed mayor is really open-minded, to actually invite Mrs. Huo’s ex to the ceremony..."

...

In the guests’ hushed gossips, they were almost certain.

The handsome and stately man chatting with Mrs. Huo in front of the church was most likely Mrs. Huo’s ex-boyfriend.

Actually, the ex coming to the ceremony wasn’t really an issue. The problem was—
