Chapter 202 - 202: 200: Grand Wedding (6) – I don’t want to delay for even a second to marry you!
Chapter 202 - 202: 200: Grand Wedding (6) – I don’t want to delay for even a second to marry you!
Everyone in the room held their breath.
As if everyone was moved by these words.
It’s all you.
From now on, it’s you.
There was some redness in Song Zhizhi’s eyes.
She didn’t get married in her previous life, dreamt of the beauty of her own wedding, hoped for a sweet, cosy and romantic wedding ceremony, but her death in her previous life was cruel and she died without closing her eyes. In this life… in this life, Ji Baijian gave her everything she wanted.
Love, wedding, marriage.
Maybe not long from now, there would be children.
Her heart felt warm, her nose was sour.
In fact, she was really looking forward to this wedding, her heart rate was accelerating, she was excited and couldn’t sleep, but she didn’t expect that when all the expectations came true, they were more beautiful than she had imagined.
“Ji Baijian.” Song Zhizhi said.
Ji Baijian looked at her.
His eyes were so beautiful, like they could draw you in.
“In this life, can we never be apart?” Song Zhizhi asked.
“Yes,” Ji Baijian replied affirmatively.
One word, so, so good to hear.
“No matter what happens, no matter what we become, can we never be apart?”
‘Yes.”
“Ji Baijian.” Song Zhizhi’s eyes were already red. “I love you.” Her “I love you” was more genuine than pure gold.
A smile tugged at Ji Baijian’s lips, his smile full of charm.
He said, “Then truly love me.”
Song Zhizhi looked at him.
Who responds like this at a time of such deep confession of love?
“Because, I can’t love anyone else.”
Song Zhizhi was taken aback.
Because, because, since he can’t love anyone else, she must love him well?
Because, if she doesn’t love him, will he choose to be alone for the rest of his life?
Ji Baijian’s love words seem ordinary, but they always make people’s hearts swell. It is only after truly understanding his meaning that the heart inexplicably feels warm.
The straightforward feelings between the two infected everyone.
So, this is what wonderful love is like.
So, wonderful love can really touch people.
Everyone in the room just watched them, quietly watching them, no one disturbed them, no one wanted to ruin this beautiful scene.
Xin Zaozao was also one of them.
She once also yearned for so-called love, but it was a complete failure at one point, so now she has become indifferent, probably thinking that for the rest of her life, she wouldn’t be in love, nor would she have feelings of heart throb.
But at this moment, she was still moved by Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi.
So, there exists love that commitment through life and death or growing old together in the world, it’s just not destined for oneself.
Tears suddenly slid down.
Xin Zaozao was a little surprised.
While she was about to wipe the corner of her eyes, a pair of clean hands handed her a napkin.
Xin Zaozao raised her head.
It seemed that Ji Baili didn’t focus his sight on her, he watching Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Xin Zaozao said “thank you” softly.
She bent her head to wipe away her tears.
She thought, she was really touched by this wedding.
Of course, it wasn’t just her, even the always heartless Yin Qin, was extremely quiet at that moment.
Ever since he was little, he hung around with Ji Baijian. From the time he started remembering things, Ji Baijian was different from everyone else. He was mature, very mature, mature to the point that Yin Qin often suspected that Ji Baijian had been reborn, just like the stories, starting a second life with a cheat. Owing to his overly mature demeanor and competence, he often gained the upper hand in dealing with many people and many situations, especially when it came to women.
Aside from his sister Ji Baixin, who he occasionally checked up on, Ji Baijian hardly allowed any other woman to come within a meter of him. There was a girl named Jingxiang whom he got to know while studying abroad in a foreign university, she was good at computer and he admired her. She was also the talent they needed, so he introduced her to Ji Baijian. Ji Baijian didn’t object to Jingxiang becoming their friend, but he was still cold to Jingxiang, hardly talked to her, let alone had any physical contact.
Jingxiang was a very proud woman. She was beautiful, intelligent, came from a well-off family background. It’s more apt to say that her character was homebody, not because she didn’t want to interact with others, but because she looked down on people around her. Yet, she fell for Ji Baijian.
After confessing her feelings, Ji Baijian completely cut off contact with Jingxiang.
Jingxiang, having felt thoroughly rejected, chose to return to her country earlier than planned, or perhaps escaped to another one, ultimately disappearing from their world completely. Even now, Yin Qin felt somewhat regretful when he thought about it.
In the end,
Based on Ji Baijian’s past experiences, Yin Qin once suspected Baijian’s sexual orientation. Even if his orientation was not an issue, his emotional life was certain to be different from that of most people. It seemed possible that Ji Baijian had never considered the idea of dating, marriage, or having children in his life. Yin Qin even felt that it might be preferable for someone as exceptionally attractive as Ji Baijian to live a solitary life forever. After all, there probably wasn’t anyone in the world worthy of him, and that seemed okay.
However,
Now, there was a Song Zhizhi.
Song Zhizhi, who seemed ordinary except for her pretty looks, had somehow, without any warning, made Ji Baijian fall for her.
And he fell hard.
Yin Qin even did some research on Song Zhizhi, investigating her life from childhood to the present, and thoroughly analyzing the results. Song Zhizhi didn’t seem to have any exceptional qualities. So why did Ji Baijian like her so much? Could it be, just as the legend goes, fate?
Fate, predestined by heaven?!
All right.
Yin Qin admitted that when it came to Ji Baijian’s romantic feelings, he couldn’t comprehend things at all.
But, luckily, Ji Baijian was genuinely getting married.
He was getting married even earlier than Yin Qin, and more surprisingly, even earlier than Yan Zhen.
Ultimately, Yin Qin did bless them.
As for himself, ironically, he might be the one who ended up living a solitary life till old age.
“The bride and groom, kiss each other!” A staff member suddenly announced in the room.
The lively atmosphere picked up again as the wedding ceremony resumed. Even though marriage was about two people, a wedding was a celebration for many.
The staffer’s declaration led the others to chime in.
“Kiss, kiss.”
Song Zhizhi turned a shade of pink.
She looked at Ji Baijian.
He was looking right back at her.
Suddenly, Song Zhizhi leaned in rather boldly.
But Ji Baijian held her back with a finger.
Song Zhizhi blinked repeatedly.
Ji Baijian said, “Tonight.”
“…” Song Zhizhi was incredibly embarrassed.
Did he know how awkward she was feeling right now?!
During the discussion with the wedding planning company, he let her do all the talking, but at least she could refute then. Now, she felt mortified.
In everyone’s eyes now, she must appear as unwarrantedly eager!
Song Zhizhi was displeased.
Ji Baijian always seemed to have his way when it came to intimacy.
She watched as he placed a flower in front of her.
She accepted it sullenly.
As Ji Baijian bent over to pick her up and leave,
one of the staffers chimed in quickly, “Hold on groom, there’s the slipper hunting ritual. No need to rush. The evening is still long.”
The staffer was very visibly teasing him for holding off the wedding kiss until the evening.
Suddenly Song Zhizhi understood how embarrassing a wedding can be.
Wasn’t it supposed to be a simple, beautiful ceremony?
Ji Baijian stood up with the intent to perform the slipper hunting ritual.
Yin Qin and Ji Baili, being the best men, naturally joined in too.
“No need to search. They’re here.” Song Zhizhi simply presented them.
She had pulled them out from under her bouquet.
Everyone looked at her.
Well, considering she was already gaining a reputation for being forward, one more instance wouldn’t matter.
“I don’t want to delay even one second before marrying you,” Song Zhizhi said.
The entire room erupted in laughter.
What a spirited bride!
The smile at the corner of Ji Baijian’s mouth was incredibly deep.
In Yin Qin’s observation, ever since Song Zhizhi and Ji Baijian had been together, this was the happiest and the most smiling period Ji Baijian ever had in his life.
He believed that the couple would probably stay this blissful for a lifetime.
No matter what, the two would stick together through thick and thin.
However… However, there are always disasters that are harder to bear than the natural ones in this world.
In the lively boudoir.
Ji Baijian bends over to help Song Zhizhi put on her high heels.
His fingers are long and slim, touching her fair, smooth feet, making his heart beat uncontrollably.
She’s ready.
Ji Baijian hasn’t stood up yet.
At the doorway, Song Zhidao’s voice follows, “Sis, just yesterday, you were saying how you couldn’t bear to leave me, couldn’t bear to leave our home. But today, the moment you see your brother-in-law, you don’t want to delay a second. Ah, women, fickle women.”
Song Zhizhi blushes, glaring at her brother.
With a smile, Song Zhidao moves towards Song Zhizhi, “The daughter who is married off is like water that’s been splashed out. I now see it clearly. Come, let me carry you out.”
Song Zhizhi is surprised.
At that moment, a staff member explains, “In Yanshang country, it is customary for the brother to carry or piggyback his sister out of the house. If there’s no younger brother, it’s okay to skip this step. But if there’s a brother, this ceremonial procedure cannot be omitted. It’s a sign of good luck.”
With a proud smile, Song Zhidao looks at Ji Baijian, “Although my sister is soon to be yours, now… she still belongs to me.”
Ji Baijian, gentlemanly steps aside, nodding slightly.
Song Zhidao bends over and picks up Song Zhizhi.
Song Zhizhi clings to her brother’s neck.
“I won’t drop you; you don’t have to strangle me,” Song Zhidao whispers in his sister’s ear.
Song Zhizhi quickly relaxes her grip.
In her memory, her younger brother is still that little boy who needed her protection.
However, at that moment, she suddenly feels his strength. He’s carrying her with a firm and steady grip.
After all, he has grown up.
Song Zhidao holds Song Zhizhi while the staff arranges her long train.
The train is two meters long, making it look incredibly beautiful.
Song Zhidao holds Song Zhizhi, walks out of the room, crosses the backyard, steps into the main hall, and exits the house…
Outside, rows of cars are neatly parked.
Song Zhidao carries Song Zhizhi to the bridal car.
Ji Baijian stands in front of the bridal car too.
Song Zhidao says, “Brother-in-law, my sister is all yours now.”
Ji Baijian takes Song Zhizhi from Song Zhidao. He replies, “Don’t worry, nephew.”
Song Zhidao smiles.
At that moment, he seems to look at his sister one last time.
Then he turns around and walks away.
As he leaves, his eyes are visibly red.
Song Zhizhi notices.
She watches her brother, his eyes swollen with tears as he walks away.
Her heart stirs.
She thinks, “I must be the luckiest person in the world.”
Ji Baijian bends over and puts Song Zhizhi into the back seat, then Xin Zaozao and Luo Xiaolang also squeeze into the car.
Ji Baijian, along with Yin Qin and Ji Baili, all get into the backseat.
The elongated luxury car is spacious. With six people inside, it still feels roomy.
Song Zhizhi watches as their home gets further and further away through the window.
Although they’re not saying a final goodbye and she can return after getting married, she finds this moment difficult.
Until now, she hasn’t seen her father even once today.
Her father isn’t one to express his emotions openly. So… is that why he chose to remain unseen?
“We can come back often.” Ji Baijian holds her hand. The warmth between their palms is reassuring.
Song Zhizhi nods.
At that moment, she can feel all the warmth Ji Baijian has to offer.
The journey is smooth.
The car reaches the wedding venue.
The place is littered with reporters.
The media has been in a frenzy over Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi’s wedding.
Yin Qin and Ji Baili step out of the car first, enthusiastically handing out red envelopes to the reporters.
Yin Qin said, “Today is a joyful day for Ji Baijian and he asked me to thank our friends from the media for their enthusiasm. Everyone gets a red envelope for good fortune. But remember, although weddings are joyous events, they are ultimately between two people. So, don’t tire yourselves out too much, go home early.”
“I heard that Master Ji bought up all the media in Jin City. Once any resident clicks on any app, they can receive a wedding red envelope from him. Is this true?” Yin Qin’s words didn’t move the seasoned reporters, none of them would leave. They all wanted to get the scoop first-hand.
“You’ve already received it and you’re still asking me.” Yin Qin chuckled.
“All software apps have been changed to a pink interface, is this also to celebrate Master Ji and Miss Song’s wedding?”
“Ji Baijian has plenty of money, don’t worry about him,” Yin Qin replied.
“Some people say that Master Ji keeps his distance from women, and there are rumors that he has health issues. Did Master Ji and Miss Song marry out of love, or for family interests?”
“The truth will be clear when Ji Baijian has a son. You won’t believe anything I say now!” Yin Qin replied nonchalantly.
“Are they expecting a child already?” the reporters exclaimed.
Yin Qin was speechless.
That’s why he didn’t like their family business. The media rarely speaks the truth.
He said, “I won’t say much else, thank you all for your hard work.”
“Young Master Yin, I’m a reporter from the Milky Way,” one reporter said, “Could you let me go and take a picture of Master Ji and Song Zhizhi?”
Yin Qin looked at his family’s reporter.
This blatant attempt to curry favor was pretty obvious.
Yin Qin said, “I want to, but for the safety of your master’s life, maybe you should take a rest.”
All the reporters couldn’t help but laugh.
“Don’t worry, when the time comes, I’ll sneak a photo for you,” Yin Qin joked, deliberately playing to the reporters.
The reporter eagerly replied, “I’ll wait for you then.”
Yin Qin agreed with a smile.
Then he got back into the car with Ji Baili.
With the protection of the wedding security, the car finally arrived at the wedding venue.
Song Zhizhi was taken straight to the makeup room.
She needed to change into her wedding dress now.
Ji Baijian greeted the guests at the wedding venue.
In the makeup room, Ji Baixing was waiting for her.
Song Zhizhi greeted Ji Baixing and went to change her clothes with Xin Zaozao and Luo Xiaolang.
Song Zhizhi stepped out in her wedding dress.
The wedding dress was stunning.
The back was cut into a heart shape, revealing her beautiful figure.
The wedding dress was interspersed with diamonds.
Under the lights, they shimmered brilliantly.
Ji Baixing explained that these were not small, but large, valuable diamonds.
Song Zhizhi was taken aback.
Although she had money since she was young, such extravagance was unprecedented.
She had an odd feeling, as if Ji Baijian would be bankrupt after this wedding.
In the meantime.
The man in question, Ji Baijian, was looking dashing at the entrance of the wedding venue, cordially welcoming the guests.
Of course, all the guests were distinguished figures.
Ji Yunlei and Zhang Qingmei were also extremely enthusiastic.
This grand wedding had drawn the attention of the entire city, monopolizing the entire upper-class society.
“Old Ji, congratulations!” Qin Wenguo, one of the four chief executives of the commercial management, greeted.
“Chief Qin.” Ji Yunlei quickly walked up to him, saying, “Thank you for gracing us with your presence.”
“Don’t mention it, it your son and Old Song’s daughter are getting married, how can I not come?” Qin Wenguo smiled. “Thank you, thank you.” Ji Yunlei responded politely.
The two chatted for a while.
Behind Qin Wenguo, a young man and woman approached Ji Baijian. The woman moved with small steps towards Ji Baijian.
Ji Baijian watched her.
Yin Qin’s eyes widened.
“Long time no see.” she greeted him first. “Jingxiang?!” Yin Qin exclaimed.
“Qin Jingxiang.” she replied.
Her smile was bright and cheerful..
