As Feng Qing expected, Sheng Sibai did announce the alliance between Shengshi and Fengxing in front of all the celebrities from various circles.
Although Feng Qing was reluctant in her heart, she also knew that by this time, she had no choice but to accept it.
Her only last insistence was on her wedding with Sheng Yan.
"I don't want a grand and elaborate wedding. So Sheng Qingran doesn't need to come. If Jian Jiaojiao comes back, I also don't want Sheng Sibai to be there."
Sheng Yan was immersed in the joy of Feng Qing's consent. Naturally, he agreed to everything she said. It was still up to Feng Qing to decide how the wedding should be. As long as Feng Qing was willing to marry him, it didn't matter if there were only two people at the ceremony.
Before going to get the marriage certificate, Sheng Yan took Feng Qing back to the school again. They climbed up to the rooftop where they once watched the stars together.
The school probably noticed this scenic spot and had always maintained and renovated it. Even though many years had passed, it still looked brand - new.
Sheng Yan took Feng Qing there at night. The star - filled sky seemed to be waiting for them, always ready to be seen as soon as they looked up.
"Everything seems to be just the same as before," Sheng Yan sighed as he looked at the starry sky, which made Feng Qing can't help but turn to look at him.
Feng Qing quickly shifted her gaze and looked back at the sky. "Not everything is the same. We've changed."
Six years had passed. How could everything remain unchanged?
"No," Sheng Yan disagreed. "The starry sky today is as beautiful as the first time we came to watch it, and I still love you as much as I did then. Or rather, I love you even more."
Just as Feng Qing turned to look at him, she saw him kneel on one knee and hold up the ring box in his hand.
"Although you've already agreed to marry me, I still think this sense of ceremony is essential."
He confirmed his love for Feng Qing the first time they came here, and in the following six years, his love for her had never faded.
The mountain wind messed up his hair. Facing the wind, his voice was still a bit nervous. Summoning up his courage, he said, "Feng Qing, marry me."
For a moment, Feng Qing felt as if she had returned to six years ago. If it weren't for that phone call, their relationship six years ago might have been even better. Maybe they would have gotten married earlier.
But there were no ifs in reality.
The boy who had been completely infatuated with her six years ago still loved her. Even though he had shed his youthfulness, he was still nervously proposing to her.
What reason did she have to refuse?
Feng Qing stretched out her right hand towards him and smiled. "Then get ready to be haunted by me for a lifetime."
Sheng Yan quickly put the ring on her finger. Although he tried his best to hold back, Feng Qing still felt him trembling.
Sheng Yan's eyes were red. He got up from the ground, filled with the joy of having his long - cherished wish fulfilled. He still held Feng Qing's hand. Unable to hold back, a tear fell.
His voice was choked with sobs and trembling.
"I've been longing for this."
Feng Qing pursed her lips. She hadn't even cried yet, but he was crying first.
She reached out and hugged Sheng Yan, scolding him in a low voice, "Fool."
Whether she was scolding his current behavior or his persistence over the past six years, Sheng Yan didn't know and didn't care. The only thing he knew and cared about was that Feng Qing now completely belonged to him.
They were about to have their own home.
"Thank you."
They didn't have any obsession with special days. They simply chose a weekday. In order not to delay work, they got up early and went to the civil affairs bureau to queue up.
But even though they went early enough, by the time they came out, half of the morning had already passed.
"Shall we go back to the company? How about having lunch first?" The joy of becoming a husband for the first time was hard to hide in Sheng Yan's eyes. He had dressed up specially today and looked quite different from usual.
In contrast, Feng Qing seemed much more ordinary, but it didn't prevent her from standing out in the photo on the marriage certificate just by her looks.
She nodded and agreed to Sheng Yan's suggestion.
During the meal, Sheng Yan still asked Feng Qing about the design of the wedding. After asking several times, Feng Qing couldn't help but give him a sharp look.
"Keep everything simple. It's not as complicated as you think. You don't have to ask me about everything. My requirements were very clear from the beginning."
Apart from not inviting those who didn't need to come, she really didn't have any special requirements.
Sheng Yan was just about to explain something like "the wedding should be more memorable", but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was looked at by Feng Qing. The words on his lips were forced back, and he immediately obeyed.
"Okay, I'll try my best to make you satisfied with the wedding on my own."
Although they didn't formally discuss the wedding date, they still asked someone to choose an auspicious day. They simply invited some friends.
Jian Jiaojiao also rushed back and served as Feng Qing's only bridesmaid.
There were no elders present at the whole wedding. In fact, Feng Qing walked in on Jian Jiaojiao's arm, and it was Jian Jiaojiao who handed Feng Qing over to Sheng Yan.
As the new couple was taking their vows, Jian Jiaojiao stood on one side and sighed. She also felt a bit regretful. If Uncle Feng were still alive, today's wedding might have been more perfect.
Watching Feng Qing in her wedding dress, she was really happy from the bottom of her heart. Her good friend, after so many things, had finally achieved a happy ending.
This wedding didn't invite Sheng Sibai, but she seemed to see him inadvertently. She even felt that he was sitting in a wheelchair.
When Jian Jiaojiao looked more carefully, she found that there was no such figure at all. Maybe she had seen wrongly. Jian Jiaojiao showed a smile again and watched the new couple on the stage happily.
Everyone in the auditorium had a smile on their face. Every corner seemed to be filled with happiness.
No one noticed the man at the corner of the auditorium. He was also smiling, but he could only move in a wheelchair.
He pressed the button, and the wheelchair rolled forward. There was only this lonely figure in the huge corridor, as if it was in a different world from the lively auditorium.
I wish you happiness.
The wheelchair slowly rolled out of the auditorium and finally disappeared outside the auditorium door.
The bell rang in the auditorium. White doves took off from the ground and left beautiful shadows on the window.
"Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife, to love her, to be faithful to her, in sickness and in health, in poverty or in wealth, until death do you part? Do you?"
Sheng Yan: "I do."
"Do you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband, to love him, to be faithful to him, in sickness and in health, in poverty or in wealth, until death do you part? Do you?"
Feng Qing pretended to think, "I have to think about this carefully."
Sheng Yan was already nervous. After hearing Feng Qing's words, he held her hand even tighter.
Feng Qing felt a sharp pain from his grip. Finally, in front of everyone, she smiled and answered.
"I do."
I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with him. I'm willing to have him by my side from now on, to be my life partner. I'm willing to build a family with him. I'm willing for us to always love each other.
So am I.
