“Do you have any regrets about letting her go?”
“Regret? I’m not sure.” A faraway look entered Tang Chen’s eyes. “But I know I made a mistake. I genuinely wished for her happiness, yet I ended up being the one who caused her the most pain. Perhaps, from the very beginning, I should have been honest about my feelings and not imposed my will upon her.”
He turned his head, his gaze falling upon her. Abruptly, he uttered, “I’m sorry.”
Shen Zhiyi’s heart skipped a beat. She gently lifted her hand, caressing his face. “She has never held it against you.”
Tang Chen’s heartbeat quickened. “Shen Zhiyi…”
“Peach Blossom Eyes. It all comes back to me now.”
Under his gaze, which held a hint of helplessness, Shen Zhiyi offered a faint smile.
“I can’t fathom why my life is so fraught with misfortune. Back then, I let you go to grant you freedom, but you’ve become my inescapable fate. The moment you appear, all my efforts become utterly futile.”
Her eyes drifted to his legs. “It’s wonderful that you can stand again.”
Tang Chen’s Adam’s apple bobbed. Despite his usual uninhibited nature, he appeared remarkably composed at this moment.
“Shen Zhiyi…”
“Yes?”
Noticing his hesitation to speak, Shen Zhiyi’s lips curved into an encouraging smile. “Hug me.”
Her unreserved request took Tang Chen by surprise. He pulled her into a fervent embrace, as if clutching a long-lost treasure he had miraculously regained.
“Shen Zhiyi, Shen Zhiyi…”
Instantly, tears streamed down Shen Zhiyi’s face like a torrential downpour.
Tang Chen tenderly wiped away her tears before slowly kneeling on one knee.
He presented a stunning pink diamond in his palm. “This ring has finally found its rightful owner. Will you accept it, accept my sincerity, become my wife, and never leave my side?”
A note of apprehension laced his solemn declaration.
Shen Zhiyi paused, lost in thought.
Five years prior, though she harbored no resentment towards Tang Chen, the idea of returning to him had never crossed her mind.
Tang Chen lifted his head. The corners of his tightly pressed lips betrayed his inner anxiety, resembling a condemned man awaiting his verdict.
Shen Zhiyi broke into a slight smile, a radiant and dazzling expression akin to a blooming flower. “Tang Chen, I do.”
In that very moment, Tang Chen heard the ethereal sound of flowers blossoming.
He slipped the ring onto her finger and bestowed a gentle kiss upon the back of her hand.
“I promise you that you will never regret this decision today.”
Observing his evident joy, Shen Zhiyi’s smile widened.
Given that their connection had never truly severed and their affections had finally reignited, what reason was there for pride?
The five-year promise had at long last yielded the sweet fruit of happiness.
..
As a prime property under Sheng Rui’s name, the Aegean Sea Hotel was exclusively reserved for Tang Chen and Shen Zhiyi’s wedding celebration.
An abundance of fresh blossoms, a resplendent red carpet, sparkling champagne, and a dreamlike projection coalesced to create a romantic and magnificent wedding setting.
Their union, blessed with both striking appearances and esteemed family pedigrees, was hailed by the attending guests, who offered unceasing commendations.
Conversely, the Shen father and son wore expressions of discontent. Despite any attempts at justification, their daughter/sister was marrying the man who had once caused her pain; their happiness would have been inexplicable.
The wedding ceremony of Shen Zhiyi and Tang Chen unfolded with distinctive flair. At the emcee’s clear and resonant announcement, “Let the wedding ceremony commence,” the projection shifted to reveal a celestial expanse of stars. The circular stage at the center suddenly illuminated, and a passionate melody reverberated throughout the venue.
“I’ve never experienced a feeling like this before. Every single day, my thoughts, every breath, my heart is completely consumed, yet there is no remedy…”
Tang Chen emerged on the right side of the aisle, advancing with each deliberate step. Clad in a pristine white suit, he was an undeniably captivating figure.
