After they exchanged their vows and rings, the priest opened his mouth to announce, "Go now in peace and live in love, sharing the most precious gifts you have; the gifts of your life united and may your days be long on this earth. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Lu Yifeng pulled her veil up and stared lovingly at Xia Meilin's wet face. He reached out and wiped her cheeks dry before he placed his one hand on her waist to pull her close and his other hand, cupping her chin. "I love you."
Xia Meilin smiled sweetly at him as she placed her hands on his shoulders, "I love you too, darling."
He leaned and sealed their vows with a kiss. As they kissed, everyone cheered for the newly wedded couple.
Little Melon, in his white suit, ran toward his parents and hugged his father's leg. "Congratulations momma! Dada!"
Xia Meilin smiled as she turned to her son, "Thank you, my prince." She leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his lips.
Meanwhile, Nian Jiezhen was staring at them with a small smile on her lips before she turned to Ren Shiyuan who was standing beside her.
Will their wedding turn out to be as beautiful as this? Now that she thinks of it… it wasn't bad to tie herself down to someone she loves.
It was every woman's dream to fall in love, but it wasn't the same for Nian Jiezhen. Well… after witnessing Lu Yifeng and Xia Meilin's wedding, she decided to give it a chance instead.
Ren Shiyuan turned his head to look at her when he felt that she was looking at him. A handsome smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Excuse me, I just noticed you noticing me and I just wanted to give you notice that I noticed you too."
Nian Jiezhen couldn't help but smile at this, this was how Ren Shiyuan was whenever he's with her and to be honest, she really likes it. "Idiot."
If it was the Ren Shiyuan and Nian Jiezhen in the past, they could have really gotten hurt while seeing the people they love marry each other but that wasn't the case now. They can only wish for happiness for the newly wedded couple.
"Three years." Nian Jiezhen suddenly said out of nowhere.
"Huh?"
She turned her head and looked at him with a small smile on her lips, "Let's get married after three years."
Ren Shiyuan was surprised by what she said but nevertheless, he was happy that Nian Jiezhen finally shortened the years of his waiting. "Can we make it next year instead?" Ren Shiyuan bargained with a wide grin on his face.
After the ceremony, a warm romantic candlelit dinner was scheduled for the wedding reception. Since they were having their dinner in the outdoor garden, as it started to become dark, the trees around them were lit up.
The lights looked like fairies flying in the trees which amazed every guest present there.
While having their dinner, Lu Xian Yu, who was there, walked toward Xia Sinian.
To be honest, Lu Xian Yu couldn't help but admit that Li Bingbing was good in hiding and because of this, Lu Xian Yu was eager to have her.
Since Xia SInian was here, Lu Xian knew the best way to know where Li Bingbing was through him.
When Xia Sinian saw Lu Xian Yu walking toward him, he already knew why he was coming to him that's why he excused himself from his grandparents before he turned to Lu Xian Yu. "Follow me."
As Xia Sinian started heading toward the balcony, Lu Xian Yu followed him from behind.
"Tell me Lu Xian Yu, do you love her?" Xia Sinian said as he came to a stop when they were far enough from other people. Xia SInian turned to Lu Xian Yu with a serious look on his face.
"I do."
Xia Sinian's eyes softened when he saw the firmness in Lu Xian Yu's eyes, "How deep do you love her?"
Lu Xian Yu couldn't help but wonder why Xia Sinian was asking him this question but nonetheless, he still gave him a genuine answer, "As deep as the ocean. I am willing to sacrifice everything for her that's why I'm going to take her from you."
To be honest, he tried to forget her once since he started to realize that he was becoming a pathetic man who was running a woman who loved someone else. He tried to sleep with different girls but by the time they entered the room, Lu Xian Yu would always end up backing out because the women he brings would always fail in turning him on.
Why was he this affected by her?
Ever since Li Bingbing left, Lu Xian Yu has always felt that she has taken a part of him when she disappeared. He felt so empty and the things he found fascinating were now boring for him. Lu Xian Yu fell deeply in love with Li Bingbing to the point of no return.
"Before you take her, can you do me a few favors?"
Lu Xian Yu furrowed his brows in confusion. He was expecting him to put up a fight but instead, here he was, doing the total opposite.
"I only have two years left…"
"What?"
"I don't have much time left that's why… can you leave us alone for two years?" Xia Sinian turned and looked at the scenery of the town that was below them. "After that… you can have her. Li Bingbing deserves to be happy. She deserves to have a man that can support her all throughout her life."
He turned to him with a pained smile plastered on his face, "I want her to be happy, Lu Xian Yu… She is the woman I have always loved that's why knowing that I will cause her great pain in the future, it's harder for me to leave her… But if I know that you'll be there by her side, then I will be at ease… after all, you are that man's brother. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
Lu Xian Yu was speechless because of what Xia Sinian was saying right now. He knew that he was sick, but he never knew that he was dying.
Xia Sinian hanged his head low as he clenched his fists tightly. The gesture he made, made him look like he was begging him. "Please make her happy."
