His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Jin Liwei vaguely heard the cheers of their family and friends. At the moment, however, all he cared about was tasting his wife's lips. He lifted the veil off her face, taking care to arrange it neatly over her head. His breath caught in his throat once again upon seeing his wife's beauty.

He lifted her chin, making her look up at him, so that he could see her better.

"You're so beautiful," he whispered.

Iris smiled. "And you look handsome today."

He chuckled. Then he lowered his head and ever so lightly pressed his lips against hers. Her eyes closed as soon as their lips touched. He, however, kept his own eyes half open because he wanted to continue looking at his beautiful wife and watch her expression as he kissed her. 

Applause, cheers and whistles sounded in the background but the newly-wedded husband and wife couldn't hear them clearly. It was as if there was a bubble separating the two of them from the rest of the world. Right now, there was only the two of them. 

The light kiss didn't satisfy Iris. She wanted more. Her arms wrapped around Jin Liwei's neck, pulling him closer, while at the same time taking the initiative to deepen the kiss. His arms also wrapped around her tiny waist before lifting her up to kiss her even more deeply. 

They kissed for what felt like a long time. When their mouths separated, they both looked dazed. 

It was Jin Liwei who returned to his senses first. Cheerful sounds assaulted his ears. He was already grinning before he even realized it. 

The officiant cleared his throat and announced in a loud voice, "Everyone, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Jin!"

Iris was still a little dazed but the bright smile on her face reflected her joy. Jin Liwei raised their clasped hands together in the air in a sign of triumph. The applause became louder. 

In front of them across the pond, Huang Yuyan was crying and smiling at the same time. She wiped her tears of joy with a handkerchief but more tears flowed down her reddened eyes. 

Beside her, Grandma Li also had red, glistening eyes but the elegant elder lady was able to control her emotions better than her daughter-in-law. 

The noisy old man who sat beside her during the wedding ceremony was long gone. Grandpa Lu was now with the groomsmen, bear-hugging and "patting" them on the back. His grandson, Lu Zihao, looked fine but the others like Lin Yehan, Wang Yingjie, Yu Mo and Jin Chonglin looked like half of their life spans flew away due to the old man's "pats".

His booming voice was the loudest as usual among the lively chatter of the guests. "Bahahaha! This old man is very happy today! Are you happy, too? You are, right? Tell me, I want to know!"

The thin Lin Yehan coughed as he recovered from Grandpa Lu's…er, "overenthusiastic pats" on the back. "Yes, Grandpa Lu. We're all very happy, too."

Grandpa Lu set his sight on Dom next. Dom yelped before running and hiding behind the strong and muscular Jiang Ying Yue. 

"Grandpa boss, please have mercy! I'm part of the bridesmaids, not the groomsmen! We're very delicate!"

"Ampa Lu!" Little Jun wiggled his way down his mother's arms and ran towards his great-grandfather. 

"Little Junjun, my boy!" The old man caught the toddler and carried him in his arms. "Great-grandpa Lu is very proud of you for doing a great job in being the ring bearer! You look as handsome as your great-grandpa. Bahahaha!"

After asking Jiang Ying Yue, Grandpa Lu took Little Jun to Grandma Li and Huang Yuyan who immediately began doting on the child. Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui walked together and joined them.

Alone in their seats, Wei Lan and Randy stayed where they were while the other guests started mingling around them as they all waited for the bride and groom to leave the islet to join everyone.

"Uhm, Vizcondesa," Randy called in a hesitant voice. "The groom and the bride's families are talking over there. I think you should join them. You're the bride's mother, after all."

Wei Lan pouted. "No, I'm fiiiiiiiiine here. Dear Liwei got angry at meeeee. What if he throooooows me out because my horrid ex-husband fights with me agaaaaaiiiin? Raaaaandyyy doll, let's just stay here, okaaaay?"

Randy sighed and forced a smile. "I understand, Vizcondesa."

It took a few minutes for the bride and groom to join their family and friends because they had been too preoccupied with each other on the islet. Their groomsmen and bridesmaids were the first ones to congratulate and give them their best wishes. 

Lu Zihao hugged Jin Liwei, startling the groom a bit.

"Take care of my sister," Lu Zihao, no, Nikolai whispered directly to Jin Liwei's ear. 

"Of course," Jin Liwei replied in his most sincere and serious tone.

His brother-in-law who had his fifth brother's body nodded before hugging his bride next. 

"Be happy, Little Sister."

Iris hugged her brother tightly. "I will, Big Brother. Thank you."

"Don't cry. You should smile on your wedding day."

"I know but I can't stop my tears!"

Lu Zihao sighed but there was a doting smile on his lips. Then he kissed her on the cheek before letting her go. In Russian, he told her, "I'm glad that I can hug you today."

Her eyes widened before realizing what he meant. She smiled and replied to him in Russian as well. "I think I feel too excited and too happy right now that my oversensitivity to smells seems to be out of commission. I hope that it doesn't return anytime soon."

He nodded. "Now go greet your other guests."

"Okay. Thanks again, Big Brother. I'm glad that you're here to celebrate my wedding."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world."

She beamed before leaving with Jin Liwei to talk with Grandpa Lu's group next.

"Are you okay?" Long Jinjing asked after appearing beside him.

He didn't answer but circled his arm around her waist instead. Then they watched their sister with their brother-in-law looking so happy as they chatted with everyone else.
