51 Chapter 51: Boiling A Disastrous Vacation (1/2)
Xiulan was nervously waiting inside the bridal room while she hears the loud commotion outside. She's currently sitting on top of the newly decorated bed which has the abundance of two embroidered quilts beneath her. The first quilt was decorated with a phoenix and a dragon while the other quilt was decorated with cute babies. This was a sign of wishing the couple a harmonious marriage and a wealthy life.
It looks like some of her relatives, Hongqi's entourage, and family were enjoying the games they prepared for Hongqi's arrival. It was a tradition to make the groom suffer a little bit before he can escort the bride back to his house.
She could hear Qiaohui's very unladylike loud laughter while her mother kept on nagging at her to stop laughing like an old man. Overall, the situation outside is merry.
”Xiulan, it's about time.” Her graceful big sister Nuo Shu entered the room. The mysterious beauty Nuo Shu extruded and the obvious discomfort was rather darker than usual.
”Are you okay?” Xiulan concernedly asked. She thought that her sister might say something very unethical again against this second wedding. Her big sister's principles were rather conservative.
”Hmm…” Nuo Shu only nodded and went closer to Xiulan to fix her hair and straight out the creases on her dress. ”I'm going to open the door so he could enter now.”
Xiulan only nodded in response. She didn't like the quiet temperament her big sister and her mother have been displaying. It was oddly abnormal that they don't push their opinions and life lessons to her. Maybe they were tired of giving off speeches that she will never follow anyway.
Nuo Shu opens the door and revealed the very dashing Hongqi in his black suit with a little bit of gold dragon embroidery on the chest part. His face was rather very bright and fresh, it looks like he had a good night's sleep.
Hongqi charmingly smiled at Xiulan when saw her sitting on top of the two quilts. She was really beautiful and her waist was really eye-catching. He can't wait to embrace that.
His smile was a very entrancing sight for the gushing relatives that kept fangirling on Hongqi's ethereal visuals.They came to to the Song family mansion so early in the morning just to take a glimpse of Hongqi. They never had the opportunity to see him this close. They were not allowed to see the ceremony in the Xing household and they have to wait until the reception starts just to see this fine man.
Xiulan's throat felt dry all of a sudden. Seeing him in that attire made her feel more nervous. The more this day develops, the more her anxiety eats her up. It was a very uncomfortable feeling.
”Okay, Hongqi.We hid Xiulan's shoes somewhere inside the room and you need to find it. This will be your last mission before you can take her away from us.” Qiaohui announced while she has a microphone on and she sneered quite deviously.
Hongqi nodded and started searching for the shoes. He didn't give much reaction since he wanted this event to finish so they can fly to Maldives soon.
”Oh no~ can the groom find the shoes? What if he doesn't find it?” Qiaohui teased at the side. She was enjoying making Hongqi suffer a little bit. She was the one who hid the shoes and she placed it behind the golden dragon statue. Actually, she made it easier for Hongqi to find it. She was a supportive sister-in-law.
Hongqi was concentrating and his face was displaying a handsome frown. The female relatives gushed over this again. ”He's so handsome even when he's frowning. Sister Xiulan is really lucky.”

Mother Song can't help but sigh seeing how popular Hongqi was. Even the relatives who were very picky in a man's visuals were pouring out good compliments.
Song Yingpei was really busy and enjoying the calls from relatives abroad and friends congratulating him about this auspicious and important day.The old Song didn't watch the games anymore and only enjoyed the tea outside and waited for the morning ceremony to finish. After this, they will go to the Xing mansion.
Hongqi finally found the shoes and quickly picked it up. He displayed a rather enchanting and naughty smile while he moves forward where Xiulan was.
The audience made a huge uproar and loud squeals can be heard.
”Yes! The groom finally found the shoes! Go go, put the shoes on her!” Qiaohui excitedly said. Everyone was squealing like crazy. Nuo Shu and Qingge were covering their ears from the loud noises of the guests.
Xiulan sweated when she saw that smile and everyone's reaction. She has bad premonition seeing everyone too happy and jolly. She reveals her bared white feet so Hongqi can put the shoes on her.
Hongqi came closer and go down on his knees at the end of the bed. He was smiling while he held her soft and white foot. ”Even her feet are beautiful, what's more in those hidden parts.” He naughtily thought.
He wears the gold shoes on her and quickly stands straight. He went closer to Xiulan and didn't say anything but quickly lifts her from the bed.
”Oh!” Xiulan gasped from Hongqi's sudden actions and held onto his arms. She remembers that the groom must lift her up from the bed after he wore the shoes on her and he must carry her to the car. Her feet must be on air and never touch the ground to avoid bad luck.
Hongqi held Xiulan's body tightly and strides outside to go to his car.
”Oh my! Look at our groom, so impatient!” Qiaohui giddily commented.
While Hongqi carries Xiulan towards his car, the guests can't help but comment on what they were witnessing.
”Oh gosh, how dreamy!” one of the young guests said.
”Sister Xiulan is really lucky! I'm so jealous!” another young female relative can't help but be jealous.
Hongqi places Xiulan inside the backseat of the car then he proceeds to go inside as well. While they were inside the car, Hongqi held Xiulan's small hands and caressed the back of her hands using his thumb. They were quiet but it was obvious that the groom was in a merry state while the bride was nervous.
”We're married for months now yet this will be your first time visiting the main house, right?” Hongqi suddenly asked. He gazed at her quite lovingly.
Xiulan nodded and said ”Yeah… it never occurred to me to visit it anyway.”
Hongqi chuckled. ”I was never fond of staying in that house so I never invited you to come. Since this is a special day, it's inevitable that we have to go there.”
Xiulan can hear in his statement that he doesn't have a good relationship with his parents.
They finally arrived at the five hectares mansion of the Xing family. The size of a normal home was too big and spacious just to be occupied by a small family. The mansion was surrounded by rare plants and small trees. There's also a tall black gate with a gold crest of the Xing family on the middle part.
From an outsider's perspective, the exterior was really promising and intimidating. What's more, if they go inside?
