Ch 303: Epilogue: A Wedding For The Ages
Late November in Jingzhou.
Goose feather snow flurried throughout the city, the majestic Forbidden City’s yellow glazed tiles covered in pristine white snow. From the pavilion in Jingshan Park, one could overlook the magnificent panorama of the entire ancient architecture.
The snowy roads were slippery, but the staff had properly cleared the snow paths, and the Imperial Garden within the Forbidden City presented a beautiful scene.
“Grandmother, this is where I found Mommy and Brother.” A pretty Little Glutinous Rice Ball, wearing a white down jacket and a scarf around her neck, revealed bright, lively eyes as she struggled to hold onto the hand of the adult beside her.
Ye Xining bent down to chat with her little grandchild, the corners of her eyes bearing the marks of middle age, but time seemed to favor kind beauties. The elegant grace about her had not faded with the passing years.
“Yueliang, slow down.” Ye Xining picked up Huo Zhaozhao, standing still to wait for the group behind them. “Let’s wait for your brother and parents.”
Jingzhou does not have a low tourist season.
Today’s Forbidden City, enhanced by the snowy scenery, still attracted many visitors.
Xie Fanxing walked slowly behind, side-by-side with Huo Qingzhou, introducing the history of the Forbidden City to Norman.
Chenchen held Wayne’s hand. Wayne was Ye Xining’s adopted son, and also the two children’s uncle. Having grown up with Wayne’s companionship, Chenchen, seeing this uncle again after six months, missed him terribly.
“Mom, Yueliang is not light, let Qingzhou hold her.”
Xie Fanxing stepped forward, thinking her daughter was throwing a tantrum again and refusing to walk, but Yueliang twisted and got down, insisting on walking by herself.
Mother and daughter walked together.
After so many years, she was still the child who could act affectionately towards her mother.
“Fanxing, what date is your wedding set for?”
“December 25th, Qingzhou’s birthday. You and Uncle Norman will meet us in Thailand then.”
Xie Fanxing was a little worried, afraid that Ye Xining’s trip to Thailand would stir up old memories.
Ye Xining saw her hesitation and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve completely let go and won’t dwell on the past. The doctor said, less worry, my life is much more important than those past troubles.”
Can’t remember what relationship?
She has a son, a daughter, and Norman.
The past, good and bad, now that they are completely forgotten, there’s no need to delve into them.
As for why the wedding venue is in Thailand…
It’s because Jingzhou’s winter is simply too cold.
There are two other couples getting married this time.
Shen Xing and Sheng Xia, Ye Tinglan and Xiaotong.
Their weddings are on December 25th and 26th respectively, spread over three days, one couple per day.
Sheng Xia is pregnant, almost six months now. While her belly isn’t very big yet, if they don’t hold the wedding now, they’ll have to wait until the child is born to have a belated celebration.
Speaking of Sheng Xia’s petite pregnant belly…
Shen Xing wanted to tear his hair out.
He had coveted the Huo family’s precious daughter for a long time, and finally had his own child, hoping for a little girl.
But anyone who saw Sheng Xia’s belly would “compliment” her with — Dean Shen is blessed, his wife’s belly clearly shows she’s having a boy.
The end of the following month arrived.
Huo Qingzhou applied for a private jet route in advance.
With his status as the young master of his family in Thailand, the Kun Tina family is now dominant. For the young master to apply for a private route, the government there would practically welcome them with open arms, and their wedding arrangements were handled perfectly.
December 24th.
Christmas Eve.
A private jet flew from Jingzhou to Thailand airport.
At the same time, a private jet from Hong Kong Island flew to the same destination.
The plane was smooth with occasional turbulence.
On the Hong Kong Island private flight, next to a large white bed was a window showing the white clouds outside.
“Li Tingzun, get out…”
Duan Luoluo’s eyes welled up, hugging her pillow and turning her back, leaving only her back to the man.
The man sat on the sofa next to her, legs crossed, holding an unlit cigarette.
Li Tingzun’s expression was heavy. Looking at the woman on the bed, disoriented by him, he finally said nothing, suppressing the heartache in his eyes, got up to change his clothes, and resumed his refined and elegant appearance.
Christmas Eve in Thailand was bustling.
That night, the wedding was held on the beach of a private island.
The Huo family chartered a plane to bring the wedding guests to Thailand.
A beach wedding was what Xie Fanxing had always longed for.
Even if it was a belated wedding.
“Our Fanxing, you’re the most beautiful bride today.”
Ye Xining adjusted her daughter’s wedding dress and stood with her in front of a gilded, carved copper mirror, her eyes filled with overflowing love and relief.
Even though she had promised not to cry, Ye Xining couldn’t help it.
“Mom, I’ll be happy.”
Xie Fanxing’s fingertips brushed against the embedded diamonds on her wedding dress. She wore a gemstone necklace Huo Qingzhou bought from Nanjing and a jade bracelet, a symbol of the future head of the Huo family.
The groom waited at the main stage of the banquet hall. Huo Qingzhou, wearing a black suit, stood in the center of the ceremony area, which was covered with roses. Behind him, outside the twelve-meter-high glass dome, a shower of falling roses swirled.
High heels clicked on the Hanbaiyu steps.
The two flower children behind were Chenchen and Yueliang.
A son and a daughter escorted their mother to their father.
Norman raised his arm, allowing the bride to hold onto him, leading her forward. Xie Fanxing heard her heartbeat shattering the screen of rose petals.
She was given to Huo Qingzhou.
Huo Qingzhou’s pupils reflected her familiar dark tide.
He reached out to catch a rose petal that fell on her shoulder, “When I saw you in Thailand, I thought, if this woman could wear a wedding dress and marry me, she would definitely be the most beautiful woman in the world.”
His thumb stroked her wrist, where the jade bracelet, a symbol of the Huo family’s legacy, shone with a warm luster.
“Mr. Huo, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, until death do you part?”
The officiant’s voice startled a flock of white doves.
Xie Fanxing saw Huo Qingzhou’s Adam’s apple bob.
“I’ve waited for this moment for sixteen years, and my answer is still— I do.”
Huo Qingzhou took her hand and kissed the back of her hand.
At this moment, a light rain began to fall outside the dome. Separated by the glass, the cool raindrops resembled stars falling from the sky onto the dome. Xie Fanxing heard him say, “Fanxing descends from the starry sky, gaining her favor and forever possessing my heart.”
Xie Fanxing’s tears flowed, her eyes filled with nothing but this man.
“Miss Xie, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, until death do you part?”
“I do.”
The ring engraved with their names slipped onto her finger.
Huo Qingzhou’s breath burned her earlobe: “I love you, Madam Huo.”
They kissed amidst the cheers of the guests.
Xie Fanxing closed her eyes and tilted her head to meet his ardent kiss.
The glass dome suddenly switched to a light-show mode.
In the rainy night, a real galaxy poured down.
Fanxing falls for Qingzhou.
Love, ultimately, is nine kisses out of ten…
