After all, Olivia was a woman too. Now that Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi were about to hold their wedding, she was the one arranging the venue. If Olivia were acting like usual, completely calm about it, that would be the real miracle!
Victoria let out a soft sigh and gave a bitter smile. "I’m just a little unwilling, that’s all!"
"No need to feel unwilling, you’ll get your chance." Olivia fed Victoria a mental calming pill. "As long as you’re willing to seriously look for it!"
"Will I really?"
"You still don’t know what kind of man he is?" Olivia said with contempt. "Back then, how many of the celebrities under me did he ruin!"
"That guy can resist any kind of temptation—except women." Olivia said with firm certainty. "When you get the chance, all you have to do is throw him a sultry look, twist your waist a bit, and he’ll definitely give in to you!"
"If it really were as simple as you say, that’d be great." Victoria said bitterly. "With unfamiliar women he doesn’t know, as long as they’re pretty and both sides are willing, he’ll never pass it up. But when it comes to women he knows well, he will absolutely never make a move."
Victoria hadn’t been following Ye Xunhuan for just a day or two; she had come to understand him to a certain extent.
If Ye Xunhuan really were like Olivia said, she might not even like him. And if he were that easy to reel in, Victoria would have succeeded long ago.
"Relax, I’m sure you can do it!" Olivia gave Victoria a bit of encouragement, then changed the subject. "Alright, let’s go get ready too, the wedding’s about to start!"
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye the moment for the wedding finally arrived. At the same time, melodious, beautiful music rang out, and guests who had come to attend Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi’s wedding began to show up one after another.
In an instant, the whole vast venue was a sea of voices.
Countless guests chatted in low tones, while Ye Xunhuan’s people were in charge of maintaining order and security. The whole scene was extremely lively, yet carried a certain gravity.
Louis III had never imagined that coming here, he was basically acting as the priest, to officiate Ye Xunhuan’s wedding.
So unlike the other guests, Louis III wasn’t sitting down below. He stood up on the stage, dressed in priest’s robes.
Looking at Louis III onstage, Olivia suddenly said to Victoria, "Have someone keep an eye on Louis. If anything looks off, just hose him down with gunfire."
"Got it!" Victoria said immediately. "I definitely won’t let him cause trouble here."
"Still, having him host the wedding, I just feel uncomfortable, no matter what. I don’t know what the Marshal was thinking."
You had to know, Ye Xunhuan was the overlord of the underworld, the king. Although Louis III was the Pope of the Church, more than qualified to host and witness Ye Xunhuan’s wedding, the moment Louis III took that role, he would be able to direct Ye Xunhuan.
So Victoria felt very annoyed.
Under the beautiful, melodious music, the surroundings were steeped in festive cheer, and Qin Pojun and the others in particular wore broad, genuine smiles.
Right now, Qin Pojun and Xiahao Yunting and the rest were chatting and joking.
The next moment, Louis III swung his right hand, and the musicians, as if receiving some command, immediately cut off the music.
"Now, will the groom and bride please enter!" Louis III said into the microphone.
As soon as Louis III’s voice fell, the beautiful music rang out around them once more. They saw Ye Xunhuan appear in everyone’s line of sight, riding a white horse and wearing a white tailcoat.
Behind Ye Xunhuan was a flower sedan chair!
That’s right, a flower sedan, and it was being slowly carried forward by people.
On both sides were musicians, each of them playing and singing, adding to the joyous atmosphere.
Originally Ye Xunhuan had wanted a Western-style wedding, but then he thought, I’m a Huaxia man, I should do a Huaxia-style wedding. And it had to be retro, too!
That was how this whole production came to be!
Before long, Ye Xunhuan rode the white horse to the center of the wedding venue, then leaped down from the horse.
As soon as Ye Xunhuan landed, the previously melodious music abruptly stopped, and Louis III’s voice rang out around them: "Groom, kowtow to invite the bride out!"
Louis III was an old fox. Seeing that Ye Xunhuan had set up a Chinese-style wedding, he immediately switched to fluent Huaxia, and even wanted Ye Xunhuan to kneel on the ground to invite Qiu Ruoxi out. The intention to mess with him was obvious!
Hearing this, Ye Xunhuan’s mouth twitched slightly. He suddenly felt an urge to slap Louis III to death.
Before Ye Xunhuan could move, Louis III went on, "Groom, kowtow and invite the bride—may you be blessed with many sons, many grandsons, and great wealth!"
With Louis III putting it that way, Ye Xunhuan had no choice but to kneel, whether he wanted to or not. After all, that last line promised many sons, many grandsons, and great wealth!
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan didn’t hesitate at all and dropped to his knees. It was his wife, after all, and it wasn’t like he’d never knelt before!
But just as Ye Xunhuan knelt down, Louis III said again, "Bride, alight from the sedan, step down on the groom, and may each step bloom like a lotus!"
Three black lines practically appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s forehead. This bastard was completely treating him like some lackey!
But Ye Xunhuan could only swallow it. It was his wedding day; no matter what the master of ceremonies said, he couldn’t lose his temper, and he could only go along.
He simply steeled himself—fine, it’s just this once, and it’s his own wife stepping on him anyway, so what?
Seeing Ye Xunhuan follow his instructions, Louis III’s face broke into a smug smile, and he called out once more, "Release the fireworks and welcome the bride!"
In an instant, countless fireworks exploded around them, and colored ribbons flew through the air. Petals began to rain down from the sky again as well!
Watching Ye Xunhuan kneel on the ground, Olivia laughed and said, "That guy’s really obedient today. But I think Louis III is going to be in trouble later, daring to play him like this."
Hearing this, Victoria nodded in deep agreement.
But the Xiahao family members, seeing Ye Xunhuan like this, felt gratified one by one. Ye Xunhuan was willing, in front of his own men and a hall full of guests, to grant Qiu Ruoxi such a grand礼; it showed just how much he truly loved her.
The next moment, Qiu Ruoxi slowly stepped out of the flower sedan, and all eyes in the hall simultaneously swung over and landed on her.
