Chapter 717: The Wedding 2

The wedding venue already had guests seated. Jiang Muye took the stage first, since the bride would be slowly making her entrance on Father Leng's arm.

Jiang Muye was a man who had seen his share of the world, but standing on the stage now, he still felt a bit nervous and uneasy.

His heart was pounding like a drum, stirred and expectant.

Every face below was a relative or friend of Jiang Muye's, all gathered together in one hall.

The emcee was giving the opening words. After finishing, he smiled and said, "Now let's welcome the bride!"

It was the first time Jiang Muye felt his heart beat so forcefully.

It was loud and vivid, making it so that Jiang Muye could barely breathe.

Then, accompanied by the wedding symphony, a graceful figure appeared slowly, her arm hooked through Father Leng's. Jiang Muye smiled without realizing it.

In the radiant light, her face was pink and tender like a peach blossom, and her golden hair seemed gentle even in the sunlight, scrambling Jiang Muye's breathing.

Her bearing was intellectual and dignified. She carried a young girl's shyness, and also a woman's alluring charm. Her bright eyes curved upward slightly, and as she looked at him, her gaze fairly glowed.

When she smiled, Jiang Muye felt the whole world was so wonderful.

All the hardships he had endured before seemed to have vanished, all to exchange for the happiness of this moment.

Jiang Muye was grinning so widely he couldn't close his mouth.

He was gazing at Leng Ruoli.

Watching her gently walk toward him, their eyes met, and each confirmed that the other was the person they had been looking for.

Jiang Muye felt his breathing turn erratic. He didn't dare blink, his eyes full of her, full of adoration, his heart stirred for her.

So a woman on her wedding day really was the most beautiful. He had clearly just seen her a moment ago, but the moment she walked toward him, her graceful, elegant bearing was truly beautiful, making Jiang Muye's heart pound.

Father Leng brought Leng Ruoli to stand before Jiang Muye.

He said softly to Jiang Muye, "I'm entrusting my daughter to you."

With his own hands, he placed Leng Ruoli's hand into Jiang Muye's.

Jiang Muye nodded involuntarily and said with a smile, "Alright, Father-in-Law, rest assured."

Leng Ruoli smiled faintly and stood shyly beside Jiang Muye, facing the emcee.

The emcee began to go through the proceedings.

He said, "Mr. Jiang Muye, are you willing to marry this woman before you? Whether in poverty or wealth, in health or sickness, to be loyal to her, cherish her, and protect her for all your life?"

Jiang Muye didn't even think about it. "I do."

Leng Ruoli's eyes were a bit red with emotion.

In the blink of an eye, tears came down.

Jiang Muye remembered the tissues in his pocket and immediately handed them to Leng Ruoli. "Here, wipe them."

He wiped Leng Ruoli's tears himself.

But Leng Ruoli held her breath. "I'm not crying, not crying. The tears can't come down, or I won't be pretty."

She desperately tilted her face upward, but the tears still fell.

She looked so pitiful and delicate, and cute and soft to the extreme.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Muye suddenly laughed out loud. He pinched Leng Ruoli's cheek and soothed her, "Super pretty. Whoever says you're not pretty, I'll definitely have it out with them. How about this, I'll cry too?!"

Leng Ruoli was immediately amused into laughing. "No way."

Jiang Muye was beaming.

"Miss Leng Ruoli, look at the reserved, calm and gentle groom before you. Are you certain you will always accompany him, and never leave him whether in health or sickness, in wealth or poverty? Do you?"

The emcee had been fed dog food, but still had to go through the proceedings.

"I do!" Leng Ruoli declared with a smile through her tears.

"Good, I now declare you lawfully wedded husband and wife. You may exchange rings!" the emcee said with a smile.

Then someone steered a small plane over. Beneath it hung a deep blue ring box, which came to a stop before Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli.

Jiang Muye caught it steadily, then opened it and put the wedding ring on Leng Ruoli.

Leng Ruoli took out the men's ring and put the wedding ring on Jiang Muye.

"Alright, now the groom may kiss the bride." When the emcee announced it, Leng Ruoli still felt a bit embarrassed.

But she couldn't withstand Jiang Muye's initiative. Amid everyone's teasing, he lifted Leng Ruoli's veil and kissed her lips.

The kiss was especially fierce, and he nearly knocked against Leng Ruoli's lips, but fortunately they didn't swell.

Leng Ruoli gave a coquettish cry. "That's overboard~"

"Hahaha, sorry, I'll try to control myself. I can't help it, I like you too much." Jiang Muye felt a bit embarrassed. The kiss really had been too much.

Leng Ruoli nodded shyly. "Seeing as you're my Darling, I'll forgive you."

"Do your lips still hurt?"

"They don't hurt anymore, it's fine." Leng Ruoli's eyes were smiling brightly.

The emcee began to go through the proceedings. "Now the parents of both sides may speak!"

Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli stood to one side, and the parents of both sides came up.

They were all dressed very formally.

Father Jiang and Mother Jiang spoke first, naturally with smiles on their faces, unable to close their mouths.

"I very much support my son marrying Ruoli. After all, a daughter-in-law like this is one in a thousand, one that comes but once in a hundred years. I don't have many demands. I just want their days to be harmonious and happy!" Mother Jiang answered with a smile.

Father Jiang followed up, "I have the same thoughts as my leader here. I just hope the young couple does well!"

Down below, Aunt immediately bragged to the people beside her, "Look at my brother, famous for doting on his wife and obeying her. In the future I'll get to see Little Ye be the same as him. But a family-loving man is even one in a hundred."

When it was Father Leng's turn to speak, his heart was full of mixed feelings. After all, he was marrying off his daughter.

His own cabbage had been rooted up by a pig. Even if Jiang Muye was outstanding, his family's was still a real cabbage, a tender, lovely cabbage!

Who could be happy?

Father Leng held back tears and drew a deep breath. He said to Leng Ruoli, "Just come home to visit often."

Leng Ruoli choked up. "I will!"

Jiang Muye rubbed Leng Ruoli's shoulder to comfort her.

Xiang Shan said to Leng Ruoli, "I wasn't a good mother. I did many things wrong. But the most correct thing I ever did was certainly marrying her father and giving birth to her. That makes me prouder than any career I could build. This is my greatest achievement!"

Leng Ruoli was completely stunned.

After all, as a career woman, her mother had never said anything so touching.

In that moment, Leng Ruoli burst into tears instantly.

The family affection she had longed for most was so close at hand, but by the time she truly realized it, she was already married.

Leng Ruoli immediately hugged Xiang Shan and said, crying, "Mom, in my next life I'll still be your daughter! Wuwu!"

Xiang Shan stroked Leng Ruoli's little face. "Of course I'll be your mother. That way I'll have a way to be a qualified, competent mother, and properly make up for the mother's love you lacked."
