Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 1700 Island Wedding

1700 Island Wedding

Leaning gently into Gu Zheng's arms, Qiao Xi whispered, "Ah Zheng, my mother's death anniversary arrives in a month. Let's head back to Li City. The capital doesn't suit me."

"Alright." Gu Zheng's throat shifted as he pulled her into a tight embrace.

Right then, Gu Zheng's phone rang abruptly. Answering it, his eyes grew wide. "Got it, we're coming over immediately."

Qiao Xi lifted her gaze to him. "What happened?"

Gu Zheng drew in a deep breath, his profound eyes sparkling with joy. "Great news for you—the divine physician has awakened."

Qiao Xi's breath hitched, her heart quivering. She sprang to her feet abruptly and tugged Gu Zheng along.

They rushed into the car and raced straight to the hospital. Spotting the frail elderly man in the room, Qiao Xi's eyes reddened uncontrollably. "Grandpa!"

"Xi Xi," Shang Xiao called out in a raspy voice.

Tears streamed down Qiao Xi's face without restraint. Gu Zheng witnessed her breaking down for the very first time.

Upon regaining consciousness, Shang Xiao's initial action was recounting to Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi all he had observed and experienced in the lab over that time. He instructed them to compile it all into a document and deliver it to Cheng Juan as proof to bring down He Weinian.

One month passed, and Shang Xiao's wounds had mostly healed. Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng went back to Li City to honor Xia Yunqiu.

Standing before Xia Yunqiu's gravestone, Qiao Xi's delicate fingers traced the image on it. Tears gathered in her eyes. She glanced sideways at the man next to her. "Ah Zheng, let's get married. I desire a one-of-a-kind wedding."

"I've already prepared everything." A smile graced Gu Zheng's face as he gazed at her. His deep light brown eyes appeared brimming with stars.

Qiao Xi snuggled into his arms, shutting her eyes. She sensed the breeze around her silently and murmured, "In novels, they say that parents love their children a lot, so their plans are far-reaching. Only today did I understand my mother's good intentions. She doesn't want me to live in hatred forever, so she deliberately hid what happened back then.

"She wrote in her notebook that I should cherish my lover and not be blinded by hatred. Those were the words she left for me. Now that I've found my lover, shouldn't I let go of my hatred?"

Silence enveloped the area. Qiao Xi distinctly sensed Gu Zheng's heartbeat accelerating rapidly.

"Moreover, we have someone more important than us now." Qiao Xi abruptly lifted her smiling crescent-shaped eyes, her expression radiant with bliss.

Gu Zheng first seemed puzzled, then stunned, and ultimately overjoyed. His voice quivered faintly. "Xi Xi, you… You mean…"

His hand hesitantly brushed her belly, the burning heat from his palm causing Qiao Xi's body to shiver. She nodded bashfully. "It's been over a month. I don't want to don a wedding dress after my belly swells, so let's hold the wedding soon."

Gu Zheng nodded eagerly, a boyish grin lighting up his stern features. "Alright! I'll have Song Shijing ready the invitations. The wedding will be on the island."

"Island?"

Gu Zheng bent down to kiss her lips. "Yes, an island exclusively yours. I've dispatched people to construct a castle there. Shall we reside on the island going forward?"

Qiao Xi abruptly remembered Gu Zheng purchasing an island for 9.3 billion as her birthday present. It dawned on her that right after the acquisition, Gu Zheng had begun setting up their shared future.

"Alright! But if you join me on the island, what about Gu Corporation?" Qiao Xi inquired.

Gu Zheng grinned mischievously. "Haven't we got Gu Yao? He's capable enough now. Having him oversee both the Gu family and Gu Corporation serves as excellent training."

Just then, Gu Yao, overwhelmed with work like a spinning top, let out a sneeze and bellowed furiously. "Damn it! Gu Zheng's off enjoying dates while dumping the company on me. I need to date too! This is outrageous!"

…

Half a month afterward, Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng celebrated their wedding on the island. While most opt for daytime ceremonies under bright skies, Qiao Xi favored the shadowy night. Floral scents mingled with gourmet aromas at the outdoor event, lights illuminating every spot.

Clad in a pristine white gown, Qiao Xi clutched a white rose. A beam of light cascaded from above, draping her like gossamer. She resembled a celestial angel gracing the earth, her purity and brilliance so captivating that guests held their breath, lest they shatter the moment.

Beside her stood a tall man featuring a sharp, handsome face. His profound eyes brimmed with tenderness as he gazed softly at the world's most exquisite bride.

"Please kiss your bride!"

Gu Zheng raised the veil before leaning down to press his lips against her lovely mouth. Right then, every torment and disgrace from his past seemed utterly justified. Encountering Qiao Xi marked the ultimate fortune of his entire life.

Qiao Xi's face flushed lightly with pink. She at last grasped the meaning behind her mother's note. Her mother had stayed merely five years alongside her beloved before departing in the bloom of her youth, yet felt no bitterness.

Maybe without discovering the antidote, Gu Zheng might have just ten years remaining. Yet, those ten years of togetherness would grant Qiao Xi a life full of bliss. Needless anxiety held no place for her. All she desired was to relish the now and value every moment shared with him, ensuring zero regrets.
