Chapter 912 - A Simple Vow (2/2)

”She isn't difficult though. Anything can make her happy.”

”So, you keep her happy.”

”Always!”

Darren looked at both of them and nodded his head, ”I'll keep doing my best.” Then he faced and whispered, ”Oh, who is this? Isn't this the most beautiful bride in the world?”

Xiu's lips twitched at Darren's cheeky compliment.

*Cough!*

Both of them turned their head and Xiu smiled sheepishly at Jing Ge when he said, ”Dear groom, don't forget I'm standing here. Don't flirt with my daughter right before my eyes.”

”But I'm flirting with my wife,” responded Darren.

”I don't care,” said Jing Ge and faced everyone with a serious look. He was playing the role of the officiator of this wedding. And he seemed to be taking it quite seriously. As everyone took their seats, he addressed everyone, ”Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today to witness the union of these two love-birds. As friends and family of the bride and groom, it must be no secret to you all how much these two love to spread dog food around.”

Okay, maybe Xiu was overthinking about it. He really wasn't as serious as he looked.

”Uncle Jing!” she called out. ”What are you doing?”

”You can make me sick of sweets and I can't even talk about it?” retorted Jing Ge.

Nora laughed out and gave her father a thumbs up, ”Dad, I'm proud of you.”

Xiu made a face Jing Ge and complained, ”I thought you want to make it a good day for me.”

Jing Ge touched her head and chuckled, ”Aiyah! I can't win when it comes to you.” He took a pause and looked at Darren and Xiu, ”I won't waste anyone's time here since I don't think both of you need to know what significance marriage and love have. So, let's exchange the vows.”

Darren pressed down on Xiu's hand and looked into her eyes, ”You know I've been trying to write the vows for the past three days, and even at this point, I haven't been able to write more than three words. I love you!” Xiu bit her lip as he continued, ”That's all I have to say. I love you. I don't think it sums up what I feel for you, but that's all I can say.” She looked at her sheepishly, ”I have never been so bad with words, right? You always said I'm a sweet-talker but look at me now when I'm supposed to say something, I don't even know what to say to you. But just know, I'm always here. Always with you.”

Xiu shook her head at him and smiled while holding back her tears. In fact, she didn't need to hear anything from him. She had no doubt regarding how much he loved her. And he was telling the truth, except for that 'I love you' he couldn't tell her anything. But those three words were the only promise she needed.

Yes, life will never be the same. Yes, they'll fight, after all, she is crazy. There is no way they'd be able to live without arguing. Life can't always be smooth sailing. But throughout it all, he'll be there. And that was all that mattered.
