Chapter 816 431: Secrets Hidden Deep Within the World (Part 2)

If he divorces Zhao Qingge, the exposure of their relationship is certain to trigger a series of chain reactions, which would be detrimental to both of them.

This obviously couldn't convince Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning; they had no intention of mediating and certainly didn't feel relieved after losing a rival, filled with victory and joy, just a bit of gloating schadenfreude.

"Li Peifeng, you unscrupulous wretch, finally you're getting what you deserve. When you come back from Hangzhou, you will face the judgment of justice!"

...

"If either of you have new ideas about the style of the venue setup, you can point them out immediately, and we can make modifications. We still have two days, any later and it might be too late."

In the afternoon, Li Peifeng arrived in Hangzhou, and Huang Tianxuan picked him up at the airport and immediately took him to the hotel where the wedding would be held. Many staff were busy setting up the venue, while the wedding company's people handed over the stage design for them to view, but Li Peifeng was too listless, mm-hmming as if his mind was elsewhere.

"Overall, there's no problem, but I'd like to change the design of the flowers in the pool..."

Enthusiastically, Huang Tianxuan gave a series of instructions, and then she pulled Li Peifeng to the still-unfinished stage for rehearsal with the host.

The wedding ceremony had no special features, it followed the standard process with the addition of a duet love song by the couple, which was requested by Huang Tianxuan. She had been secretly practicing for the past few days, and now, before officially going on stage, she wanted to familiarize herself with the environment by singing with Li Peifeng twice, to avoid getting too nervous to speak when actually on stage.

Female: "I want to sing for you~ while youth is as fleeting as a flower~ let the flowers bloom freely~ your years and my branches adorned..."

Male: "Who can replace you~ love freely while young~"

Female: "My dearest, the road is long, let us be together..."

Male: "With me... sorry, I forgot the lyrics."

During the rehearsal, Li Peifeng, the better singer, stumbled continuously, his mind elsewhere, and Huang Tianxuan, knowing the reason, gave him a look of displeasure.

"If you're in this state at the wedding the day after tomorrow, I absolutely won't forgive you. Isn't it just that Old Zhao wants to divorce you? Just let them divorce, you can totally win her back later, she's already had your baby. I don't believe she can truly leave you."

Li Peifeng sighed: "That's easy to say, but the three of them have just finished writing the petition, leaving the law firm and heading to the registration office, planning to change Li Weiyi's surname and then file a lawsuit at the court... In this situation, how can I act like nothing happened?"

Huang Tianxuan:"Remember, changing the child's surname requires both parents to be present, and the divorce lawsuit process isn't simple. Even after submitting, it can be withdrawn. If withdrawal fails there's mediation, if mediation fails there's appeal... Tomorrow's the National Day holiday with seven days off, government offices aren't working. You can deal with it after returning to Beijing, there's plenty of time."

"Your most important task now is to be happy, cooperate fully with me, don't get distracted, and give your best mental state for marrying your sister on the day after tomorrow!!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Reassured, Li Peifeng relaxed a bit: "Focus on the wedding!"

...

October 2nd, the autumn air is crisp and the sky is clear.

Hangzhou's West Lake Hotel, only two kilometers away from the West Lake National Wetland Park, surrounded by lush forests and babbling streams, nestled in a corner of the city.

The hotel's overall architectural design concept blends modern and traditional elements, through a reinterpretation of minimalist style to create a clear and elegant atmosphere. In terms of specific design and construction, the architect used minimal constructions to place man-made structures behind natural landscapes, highlighting the artistic conception and charm of landscape painting, expressing primitive poetic nature.

Thus, from the exterior, it looks less like a hotel and more like a modern garden integrated into the tranquility of West Lake.

Lawns, trees, flowing water, each area exudes a cold, quiet, lonely, and mysterious natural atmosphere, showcasing the solitary beauty hidden within shimmering green waters.

However, today, this previously cool and quiet 'garden' became much livelier, with more vibrant reds amid the green mist.

A red carpet spread from the hotel's road entrance to the front door for five hundred meters, and the roadside was adorned with plentiful roses and bright red peonies. Red drapes, colored balloons, and large characters of celebration were visible everywhere.

"The marriage of two families, a contract formed, an eternal bond, a matched coupling..."

"Groom: Li Peifeng, Bride: Huang Tianxuan."

At the hotel entrance, the welcoming sign with red background and black text clearly explained the cause of today's festivities, and guests moved forward in groups, led by service personnel, entering the hotel garden.

The stage upfront was adorned with splendid flowers, and the red and gold color scheme conveyed an air of grand opulence. An eight-member band of young men and women was at the center of the stage, playing cheerful traditional music.

On the lawn, rows of antique tables and chairs were neatly arranged, with elegantly written Chinese screens adding classical elements while ensuring guest privacy; above the stage, giant red tassels intertwined and swayed in the wind, resembling dragons and phoenixes of legend.

The most eye-catching were the pools on both sides of the road, with clusters of blooming twin lotus and spring narcissus. These flowers aren't rare in Hangzhou, but when displayed in a massive heart shape in the water, they are truly worth seeing.
