Shen Yi looked at Ye Wanwan’s clueless expression and couldn’t help but smile before lifting another cup.
"Do you know how to drink this?" Shen Yi asked Ye Wanwan.
Ye Wanwan glanced at Shen Yi’s hand holding the cup in his left hand, and then at herself. She hastily picked up her own cup with her left hand as well and looked at Shen Yi, all pride and defiance.
Shen Yi smiled helplessly, raised his hand to reach out, passing through Ye Wanwan’s arms, and said to her very seriously, "Wanwan, we are to grow old together."
As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, he prepared to drink, and Ye Wanwan also hurriedly tilted her head back, downing the small cup in one gulp.
Who would have thought the alcohol would be so spicy? Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but cough immediately after drinking it, and Shen Yi had to quickly pour her a cup of water to drink.
Ye Wanwan drank the water but still coughed a bit. Shen Yi stood in front of her and lightly patted her back, "Why drink in such a hurry?"
"You drank it too!" Ye Wanwan looked up at Shen Yi, with a touch of unhappiness in her eyes. She didn’t know the drink would be that spicy, and she downed it all in one shot, just because she saw Shen Yi drink and felt anxious.
"It’s my fault for not telling you in advance; this alcohol is many years old," Shen Yi said helplessly.
"How did you suddenly decide to have a Chinese wedding ceremony?" she asked, honestly uneasy. Nobody around her had a Chinese wedding ceremony, so Shen Yi’s actions today made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Shen Yi was silent for a few seconds before he spoke in an even tone, "I believe in Buddhism."
"Huh?" Ye Wanwan was unable to follow Shen Yi’s train of thought for a moment.
"I didn’t believe in gods or Buddha before, so I didn’t care about such things. Now that I believe in Buddha, why should I ask for God’s blessing?"
"Moreover, the lavish wedding we had in our past life didn’t ensure that we would stay together until we were old."
"So now, I’m asking for our ancestors’ blessings, and for the Matchmaker’s blessings. I believe they will surely look after us."
Shen Yi spoke very seriously, but Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh and cry. She had never thought the reason would be something !
"Grandma Tang said that this wedding gown was worn by my great-grandmother on her wedding day." Ye Wanwan suddenly thought of this and wondered if it was also specially chosen by Shen Yi.
Shen Yi nodded, "I don’t have any memories of them, but my grandfather once told me that my great-grandparents were happy together their whole lives, even dying together."
"So I had people search for the gown because I hope we can also be happy together for a whole lifetime."
"They also had their wedding here, and the alcohol we just drank was brewed by my great-grandparents," he continued.
Shen Yi’s gaze was intense as he looked at Ye Wanwan, his voice deep, "So Wanwan, do you understand my intentions?"
Whether it was the Chinese wedding or my great-grandparents’ wedding gown, they were all his expressions of hope for them.
He wanted to be with Ye Wan together, he wasn’t even afraid of getting old or dying, he just wanted to be with Ye Wan!
Ye Wanwan’s eyes welled up with tears. She stood on her tiptoes, wrapped her arms around Shen Yi’s neck, and without hesitation kissed him.
Shen Yi leaned back slightly, and then taking control, he swooped Ye Wanwan into his arms and carried her straight to the bed.
There seemed to be something poking Ye Wanwan from the bed, but at that moment she couldn’t care less. Shen Yi was already pulling at her wedding gown.
Ye Wanwan hastily said, "Be careful!"
