When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase-Chapter 648: So It Was You (8)
When Bai Bing handed the bouquet to Tang Yanqi, she realized that Tang’s palm was sweaty from nervousness.
Bai Bing took a tissue and wiped her hand: "Don’t be nervous."
Tang Yanqi looked up, her watery eyes gazing at her friend, and swallowed: "I’m afraid of making a fool of myself."
Bai Bing couldn’t help but laugh: "What are you afraid of? Mr. Sheng will take care of everything."
Tang Yanqi blinked, thinking, yes, with him taking care of everything, even if she stumbled because she wasn’t used to high heels, he would still be there for her.
"Let’s go, it’s time."
Tang Yanqi slowly stood up, holding the bouquet, while Bai Bing and Qi Cheng helped her adjust the train of her wedding dress and the long veil from behind.
As she came out of the room, the carpet outside was strewn with rose petals. She stepped carefully on the soft carpet and petals, walking to the staircase.
The castle staircase was generally "Y"-shaped, with Tang Yanqi standing on one side and Sheng Jianan, dressed in a handsome suit, on the other. Their gazes met in the air, and almost simultaneously, both took a deep breath and stepped down.
They walked step by step along the stairs to the platform below.
Seeing Sheng Jianan reaching out for her, Tang Yanqi tightly pressed her lips together and placed her hand in his palm.
The warmth and safety from his palm transmitted through her fingertips to her entire body, and Tang Yanqi couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
As if a faint electric current passed through her heart.
Even though they already had a child, and were so familiar with each other, why, at this moment, when Sheng Jianan held her hand, did she still feel that fluttering sensation?
Someone said that love fades with time, and ultimately, what sustains two people to the end is the familial love that comes after love has matured.
Is that true?
Tang Yanqi didn’t know; she only knew that right now, this man was still the boy who made her heart skip a beat.
She wrapped her arm around Sheng Jianan’s as they walked out, step by step.
The heavy castle doors were pushed open, and sunlight and a fresh breeze swept over them.
Flower arches, pink prayers, lively fountains, white veils fluttering, with two helicopters flying back and forth overhead. Tang Yanqi looked up to see "S&T" formed by white smoke in the blue sky.
"Will the bride and groom please stand at the center of our stage."
Sheng Jianan, holding Tang Yanqi’s hand, slowly walked over, and the subsequent proceedings were very typical.
Neither side had parents present, not even Mr. Sheng. Tang Yanqi knew it wasn’t that he didn’t want to come, but that Sheng Jianan didn’t want him there.
The events of the past weren’t his fault, but back then, among those who admired stabbing Tang Yanqi in the back, he was one of them.
"Mr. Sheng Jianan, do you take Miss Tang Yanqi to be your wife? Will you love her, protect her, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, never abandoning her until the end of life?"
"I do."
"Miss Tang Yanqi, do you take Mr. Sheng Jianan to be your husband? Will you support him, stand by him for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, never abandoning him until the end of life?"
Tang Yanqi pressed her lips together. She wanted to speak, but she could clearly feel her vocal cords trembling and her eyes welling up with tears. She tried hard to swallow and then said in an almost inaudible voice, "I do."
In that instant, tears rolled down, and Sheng Jianan did not wait for the officiant to continue speaking. He lifted her veil and, at the same time, kissed Tang Yanqi on the lips.
