Previously on Sweet Adorable Wife, Please Kiss Slower!...
Tang Chen apologizes to Shen Zhiyi and confesses his lingering feelings. Shen Zhiyi, recalling his "peach blossom eyes," accepts his proposal and his apology. They get married at the Aegean Sea Hotel, a grand affair attended by guests, though Shen Zhiyi's father and brother are displeased. The wedding ceremony begins with an elaborate projection and a passionate song as Tang Chen makes his entrance.
A male voice ceased, and then a female voice emerged. "...My courage wanes each day, yet forgetting you proves so difficult, purely because I harbor a special adoration for you..."
As Shen Zhiyi, adorned in a stunning fishtail gown, graced the opposite end of the aisle, her beauty rendered onlookers breathless. The couple proceeded forward in a slow, deliberate pace, their hands finally meeting at the heart of the circular stage.
With the final melody's echo, Tang Chen tenderly lowered his head, bestowing a cherished kiss upon her forehead. The tableau was exquisitely beautiful, evoking a deep sense of longing.
Clap... The audience erupted in thunderous applause.
Tang Chen then lifted Shen Zhiyi's veil, gazing intently into her eyes. "Shen Zhiyi, from this moment forth, we shall have each other and offer mutual support. Regardless of future trials, we shall remain united until the end of our days."
"Okay," Shen Zhiyi affirmed, producing a masculine-style diamond ring and placing it upon his finger.
The roar of applause from below the stage was deafening.
Lin Wanwan, deeply moved, felt her eyes mist over slightly. At this juncture, Little Lu Chi whispered, "Mommy, how much longer must I be patted? My hand is aching terribly."
Lu Cha shot a look of disdain at her "stupid brother." "Could you not pat me with a bit more gentleness?"
Si Han approached, remarking, "Cha Cha and Lu Zhanbei share too much resemblance; their personalities are equally dreadful."
Mo Chen raised his hand. "I concur."
Mo Chen had also brought his young girlfriend along today. Fresh out of university, she was a full decade younger than Mo Chen, drawing considerable teasing from the group about "old cows eating young grass."
Having changed into a formal gown, Shen Zhiyi commenced the round of toasting.
Lu Zhanbei's table was occupied by their friends, gathered to celebrate. After paying their respects to the elders, they moved to toast the couple.
Lu Zhanbei lifted an eyebrow and smiled. "Tang Chen, do you still recall that you owe me a favor?"
"I remember," Tang Chen replied, recalling the time he lost. "My request is for you to treat Shen Zhiyi exceptionally well." Lu Zhanbei raised his wine glass and downed its contents in one go. "I wish you both enduring happiness."
"I have always upheld my word," Tang Chen stated, encircling Shen Zhiyi's slender waist with his arm. He playfully added, "It seems I must treat you rather poorly, then."
Shen Yu leaped forward, exclaiming, "If you dare mistreat my sister, I'll beat you up!"
Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but press her forehead. After years of observation, Shen Yu had evolved into a cunning old fox, adept at spewing nonsense to others—a true successor to Father Shen. However, in the presence of familiar faces, he struggled to suppress the roguish aura emanating from his very core.
Finally, it was Ruan Baoer's turn. She smiled warmly. "Zhiyi, though all the well-wishes have been preempted, I still want to say that I hope you two remain together forever, growing old side by side."
"Thank you, Little Baoer." After a sip of wine, Shen Zhiyi's lovely face was tinged with a delicate flush. "You and Xing Si should hurry up. We're all eagerly anticipating drinking at your wedding."
Ruan Baoer and Xing Si exchanged glances, their fingers interlacing. "Our wedding date is set for the third day of next month. Be sure to attend when the time comes."
"Absolutely!"
Once the toasts concluded, Mo Chen noticed a missing face. He scanned the surroundings and inquired, "Where is Mo Jiushang?"
As if summoned, Mo Jiushang arrived late and took his seat. He picked up a wine glass and stated concisely, "Congratulations to the newlyweds."
Lin Wanwan inquired with curiosity, "Sleeping God Mo, didn't you bring your goddess with you?" They were all aware that Mo Jiushang had recently been pursuing Ji Ning, that formidable woman who had dared to call the police on a king.
"Next time."
Observing the conviction in his expression, Lin Wanwan clicked her tongue. It appeared auspicious events were on the horizon... she would have to prepare more red envelopes; she was already feeling joyful.
Following a lively wedding reception, the night had already reached 10 o'clock.
Tang Chen was seeing off the guests. Noticing Lu Zhanbei and the others plotting mischief for their wedding night, he let out a cold smile. "Whoever dares to disrupt my wedding shall find no peace."
Laughter erupted from the crowd. Given his notorious reputation, they hesitated to provoke him.
Lu Zhanbei chuckled lightly. "Let's also spare a thought for a man in his thirties who hasn't even managed to break a C. Forget it." The group burst into uproarious laughter and quickly made their way downstairs.
Tang Chen, unperturbed, tugged at his tie and impatiently headed towards the bridal chamber amidst the jesting gazes.
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but sigh. "Although they waited five long years, they've finally achieved a happy ending. Their patience was certainly not in vain."
Everyone nodded in agreement, their faces beaming with cheerful dispositions.
Lin Wanwan surveyed the group, noticing they were all paired up. Si Han was the only one present without a partner. Despite the absence of sorrow on his face, she couldn't shake the feeling of loneliness emanating from him.
Sensing Lin Wanwan's concerned gaze, Si Han simply shook his head.
At this moment, a pair of small hands clasped his.
Si Han looked down, his eyes meeting Lu Cha’s earnest gaze.
“Uncle Si Han, please wait for me. I’ll marry you when I grow up.”
”…” Lin Wanwan stared, utterly dumbfounded. Was she seeing things!
Lu Zhanbei’s handsome features darkened. “I do not permit this.”
“Uncle Si Han, we are a man and woman of a new era. Parental orders mean nothing to us. Why don’t we elope?” Lu Cha’s eyes held a rare, decisive glint.
Si Han was taken aback, then burst into laughter. “Alright.”
He scooped Lu Cha up in one swift motion and strode away.
“Lu Zhanbei, Lin Wanwan, thank you for giving birth to such a beautiful little wife for me. We’ll be going now. See you later.”
“Stop right there!”
Seeing his little darling snatched away, Lu Zhanbei could no longer maintain his composed demeanor and quickly gave chase.
The heartless figures left behind chortled, reveling in his predicament.
“Brother Zhanbei, so you have days like this too!”
“Lu Zhanbei, put in your best effort! Don’t let Old Man Si Han poach young grass!”
“Hahaha.”
Lin Wanwan watched the scene unfold and couldn’t help but smile.
It was impossible for anyone to have absolute perfection in this life.
This situation, in fact, was already quite good, wasn't it?
Lin Wanwan tilted her head up to see the bright moon suspended in the night sky.
It seemed tomorrow would indeed be another fine day.
