Chapter 987 - 986: Fetching the Bride
"Alright, if you want to come, just come down later. I'm definitely busy today, so if there's anything I can't attend to, please bear with me.""Alright, you do your thing, why are you being so polite with me?"
"Oh, I'm just being hypocritical, and you took it seriously."
Chu Ge bantered with He Qing before hanging up the phone. He turned to glance at the four Cayennes, nodded to the young man who had spoken to him earlier, and flashed a friendly smile.
Since these four Cayennes were here for He Qing, Chu Ge could understand why the young man had some hostility and vigilance towards him.
If they were guests of the He Family, perhaps they'd heard some things about him from Da Shan, who had a terrible impression of him and certainly wouldn't say anything nice.
If they were He Qing's friends, then because she came to attend his wedding, one could see He Qing and he had a close relationship, so feeling a bit disgruntled was understandable.
After all, He Qing's title of "China's number one beauty" wasn't for nothing; her admirers were naturally very dismissive of any young men who were close to her.
He lingered downstairs for a bit longer, looking at the time, and when it was about right, Chu Ge cooperated with the videographer, spoke a few words in front of the lead car, then called a bunch of friends to get into the cars and head to the hotel where Qin Ruojing was currently staying to start the bridal pickup.
The lead S-Class Mercedes moved forward, with the four pure white Cayennes, two in front opening the way on each side, and two behind on each side backing up, escorting the Mercedes in the middle, other cars followed from behind, looking somewhat like a leader's motorcade.
Twenty minutes passed, and the lead car arrived downstairs at the hotel where Qin Ruojing was staying, Chu Ge got out of the car, with a subtle smile, leading a huge group of family and friends into the hotel.
The next step was to knock on the door. This part is pretty much the same nationwide, where the bride's side makes it hard for the groom's side.
Chu Ge arranged for some key players to help pull the door, and the group arrived at room 521 on the fifth floor, where Chu Ge first asked Lin Fang to go over and knock on the door.
After three knocks, a voice from within the room asked.
"Who is it?"
"Room service, heard the resident here is getting married, here to deliver a gift on behalf of the hotel." Lin Fang stifled a laugh, pulling off a serious bluff.
Laughter erupted from inside the room, clearly, their little trick was busted right away.
"Just leave the gift with the groom and let him give it to the bride."
Lin Fang shrugged and smiled helplessly at Chu Ge, who then stepped up and knocked on the door.
"Who's there now?"
"Me."
"Who are you?"
"Chu Ge."
"Who's Chu Ge? What are you here for?"
"The groom today, came to pick up my wife."
"Want to pick up the wife, need to show some sincerity, got red envelopes?"
"There's definitely red envelopes, but you have to open the door a bit, otherwise there's no way to deliver them."
"There's a gap under the door, slide them in from below."
"No way, the red envelopes are too thick to fit through, open the door, just a small opening."
"No problem, squeeze them in, they'll fit, slide them in, someone's here to receive."
With banter exchanged back and forth, Chu Ge slipped a few red envelopes through the gap below the door, and finally, the door slightly opened a crack.
Chu Ge had been waiting for this moment for a long time; as soon as there was a small opening, he quickly reached out to hold the door edge. Standing ready, Song Baijia, Long Kun, Cao Xu, and others jumped in immediately.
In an instant, everyone heard a "bang" sound; the thick door panel was suddenly taken down.
Both inside and outside the room, everyone froze for a moment, staring collectively at Song Baijia. He held the door panel with one hand, froze momentarily, and a conflicted expression emerged on his face.
He didn't think he used much force, so why was this door so flimsy?
It's unclear who was the first to laugh, but soon everyone was laughing. Many of them had attended friends' and family weddings more than once, but this was the first time they'd seen someone yank a door off.
Seeing Song Baijia holding the doorboard with a conflicted expression, Chu Ge first broke into a sweat, then laughed and said, "Well done," before entering the room where Qin Ruojing was.
The room was beautifully decorated; colorful ribbons were intertwined on the ceiling, and red happiness characters were pasted on the snow-white walls. Opposite the door, not far away, was an Eight Immortals table with some exquisite pastries and fruits on it.
Looking to the left, there was another door, tightly shut. It was obvious that once he broke through this line of defense, he'd be able to see his bride today.
Looking at that door, a female classmate of Qin Ruojing inside the room half-jokingly, half-seriously said, "Groom, are you here to pick up the bride or to kidnap her? You can't be this violent."
Chu Ge smiled apologetically, "It's an accident, an accident. I'm just excited at the thought of soon seeing my wife."
"For this door inside, you guys can't take it down again. The bride wants me to ask you a few questions. As long as you answer them all, you can go through that door."
Seeing Chu Ge nod, the girl began to ask, "First question, since you met the bride, where was the first place she got injured?"
Chu Ge immediately replied, "Foot, she twisted her foot."
The girl nodded with a smile and said, "Not bad, correct answer. Second question, there's no standard answer to this, just say what you think. Hmm, the question is, once our bride Qin Ruojing had a fever, and you helped her cool down physically with the rubbing alcohol method. Why were you so proper at that time, without a trace of inappropriate behavior?"
As soon as the girl asked the question, the room burst into a roar of booing and whistling, prompted by who knows who, praising the question.
Chu Ge broke into a sweat, raised his hand, and scratched his head. What kind of question was this from Qin Ruojing? Could it have been Qin Ruoying's idea? It's a bit odd discussing their couple's matters in this setting.
Despite the awkwardness, the question was harmless. It's a wedding day, meant for fun and joy; everyone's here to celebrate happily. Since Qin Ruojing said there's no standard answer, he might as well say whatever he wants.
As Chu Ge lowered his hand from his head, the heckling subsided, and when he cleared his throat, it stopped altogether. Clearly, everyone was eager to hear his response.
"Well…" Under the curious gazes, Chu Ge chuckled, "In a harmonious society, if I did something inappropriate, wouldn't I just be, well, harmonized?"
After Chu Ge spoke, the whole room burst into laughter, with applause ringing out. Although everyone knew he wasn't telling the truth, arguing over it on such a joyous day would be absurd.
The girl who asked the questions laughed behind her hand for a while, then asked the final question.
"The third question is a coupling question. The bride's line is: 'Willing to have time to look back on', Groom, please complete it?"
Upon hearing the question, warmth flashed in Chu Ge's eyes, and he immediately gave his answer without hesitation: "And together, hold deep love till old age."
The girl asking the questions clapped her hands, "Great, congratulations to our groom on passing the three tests. Now, I declare, you can go see the bride."
Chu Ge smiled, stepped toward the second door, only to hear the girl say, "But…don't be too happy too soon, Groom. The bride's test for you is just beginning. The main event is yet to come!"
Opening the second door, Chu Ge was momentarily stunned once again. Even though he was mentally prepared for some little trick in this segment, the scene before him far exceeded his expectations.
On a big bed covered with a bright red sheet, there were eight women in total: six sat in a circle along the bed's edge, while two sat back-to-back in the center.
The six women around were all dressed in white dresses, none of whom Chu Ge recognized. As for the two women in the center of the bed, they were both in white wedding dresses, their heads crowned with silver princess tiaras and wearing delicate lace gloves.
As the door made a sound, they both looked toward the entrance, eyes filled with anticipation, their pretty faces both shy and gentle.
The makeup, expressions, and movements of these two women were identical, like the same person inside and outside a mirror. They were Chu Ge's two brides today, Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying.
Of course, even if this was essentially a three-person wedding, they absolutely didn't want anyone other than the three of them to know.
Otherwise…even with just a little thought, it was obvious it would lead to a series of big troubles. Whether for Qin Family's elderly couple's reputation or Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying's names, it would cause extremely terrible impacts.
Chu Ge really didn't expect Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying would make such an arrangement. Wasn't this playing with fire?
Not only was Chu Ge stunned, but everyone who entered the room later, except those initially there, was stunned by the spectacular scene. On the one hand, they were dazzled by the scene, and on the other, they'd never seen such a situation before.
Especially the friends Chu Ge made at the orphanage who didn't know Qin Ruojing and Qin Ruoying were twins, they even wondered if they were hallucinating.
There were actually…two brides? What was going on?
