763 A Million Times for You 125 (2/2)
Jin Qingyan and Ling Ciye stared at him in puzzlement and asked, ”What are you laughing about?”
”I just realized that Shi Shaochuan is the ex-husband of both your women. He's really something, eh? Hahahaha.”
”…”
When it was time to fetch the bride, Jin Qingyue was picked up from Jin Qingyan's home in Wei Ni Estate and escorted to Ling Ciye's doorstep.
The bridal cars filled the streets, and many curious onlookers craned their necks to take a closer look.
Jin Qingyue was seated inside the car in her wedding gown, her hands trembling uncontrollably in nervousness.
She instantly felt more relaxed and at ease the moment Ling Ciye opened the car door and gave her his hand. She held onto it and alighted from the bridal car.
Ling Ciye scooped her up and walked inside while the surrounding guests began applauding and cheering enthusiastically.
They walked down the red carpet toward the ceremony stage.
The emcee was none other than Long Tianze, who had willingly volunteered to take on the role.
Dressed in a formal suit with a huge smile on his face, Long Tianze stood in front of a microphone stand and waited for all the guests to be seated before making his speech, ”Ladies and Gentlemen, a very warm welcome to Mr. Ling Ciye and Ms. Jin Qingyue's wedding ceremony, which you have all taken the time out of your busy schedules to attend and to witness this beautiful moment. I hereby declare that the solemnization ceremony will now begin.”
The crowd began applauding zealously.
Long Tianze continued, ”Mr. Ling Ciye, will you promise to love, cherish, and honor your wife, Ms. Jin Qingyue, even when she's become old and gray, ill-stricken, plump, and a nagging old hag?”
”I will.”
To everyone's surprise, Long Tianze did not pose the same question to Jin Qingyue and instead asked simply, ”Ms. Jin Qingyue, do you love Mr. Ling Ciye?”
”I love him!” Jin Qingyue exclaimed.
”You may now exchange wedding bands and express your love for each other.”
The wedding bands were not only bound around their fingers but also their hearts.
The newlyweds held each other's gazes in front of the crowd.
Time seemed to have stopped in its tracks.
So did the air.
All eyes were on them.
”Thank you for appearing in my life at the right time, and for allowing me to enter your world. I've been extremely blissful during the time I've spent with you. From now onward, I'll do my best to be your dutiful wife, Father and Mother's daughter-in-law, and the mother of your child. I'll accompany you forever, 'til death do us part,” said Jin Qingyue, her heart racing continuously.
It was Ling Ciye's turn to speak. ”I've been enjoying myself every single day that I spent with you. I enjoy being together with you, and I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with you as your husband. I'll forever be loyal toward you and dote on you.”
Jin Qingyue burst into tears and they pulled each other in for a kiss.
Shi Shaochuan was sitting together with Jin Bao'er in the guests' area. He looked down and whispered something to Jin Bao'er, who nodded and remained seated quietly.
Song Yan and her husband were sitting beside each other. Chen Liang wanted to leave before the banquet, like what Ling Ciye did during their wedding. However, Song Yan was against the idea and Chen Liang had no choice but to concede, for he could not outargue his wife.
The wedding banquet was to be held in a hotel nearby.
Jin Qingyue proceeded to the venue together with Ling Ciye after changing into her next gown.
When the toasting ceremony began, Shi Shaochuan immediately approached them and exclaimed, ”I went to the bathroom and realized that Bao'er had gone missing!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Ciye sneered and pointed at a spot a distance away. ”Isn't she right there?”
