Chapter 460: Wedding Party (1)
He hugged her tightly as he felt her grip around his waist tighten.
"I suddenly feel really overjoyed. You'll be this good to me forever, won't you?" she asked in her slightly hoarse voice. This happiness felt surreal and she was afraid that she might wake up one day and realize it was all just a dream. If this was a dream, she would rather stay asleep forever.
Would the warmth stay there forever?
"Of course, I'm always yours, Xiaye," he called her name and her heart softened as his voice reached her ears. She suddenly had the urge to cry.
He lifted her up easily and chuckled. "It's our happy day. Why are you crying? It should be our wedding party now. If you're really grateful for me, then compensate me in the bedroom tonight, okay?"
"No way!" She turned her head away as her face blushed.
"Why not? It's our official first night together. I've been waiting for this day for a very long time. Aren't you looking forward to it?" he whispered beside her ears.
"That passed a long time ago!" She shot him a glare.
He went quiet as he remembered about their first time. A smile appeared on his handsome face. "That just means fate dictated that you belong to me. Everything of yours will be mine."
She had given all she had to him, so there was no reason for him not to protect and love her.
...
The wedding party was held at an ancient castle nearby. It was a grand feast, most of the guests were tourists and nearby locals.
Complete with the wedding dress, the meaningful wedding, the old church, and the mysterious and beautiful castle, he actualized her dream of marrying a prince as a princess, fulfilling her deep wish.
The sun was setting when they arrived at the castle. The golden sphere shrouded the quiet castle in a gentle light as he walked up the stairs into the castle with her in his arms. Her white veil gently hovered above the red carpet, and the sunset caught this whole scene in action. At this beautiful moment, the whole world seemed to have stopped.
As they walked past the entrance of the castle, countless ribbons swayed along with the wind as if they were heralding their arrival.
The red carpet stretched long ahead. Carrying her in his arms, he paused for a moment when they reached the entrance as the thick and huge door opened slowly. A unique fragrance wafted from inside as the old bells started ringing.
Xi Xiaye could feel the breeze from straight ahead while Mu Yuchen continued forward after the door opened. Inside was a high and spacious hall. The whole castle seemed quiet and dark. The only source of light inside was a flickering blue flame on the wall.
When they pushed the doors open, the sunlight streamed in as well.
He halted mid-step as he walked down the staircase. Suddenly, cheerful singing voices came from the front. Before Xi Xiaye could react, she felt a cold breeze blow past her as countless lights intersected the space before her.
Ka!
The chandelier by the ceiling suddenly lit up, filling every corner of the castle with a pure and mysterious blue light.
Colorful ribbons rained over them and Xi Xiaye was stunned to see what unfolded before her. She struggled to get down, but Mu Yuchen eventually let her down and they both held their hands right before the grand scene that unfolded.
Amidst the singing, Xi Xiaye raised her head and looked forward. Behind the rain of ribbons, Mu Lingshi and the others were there chanting hymns of blessings. Shen Yue clapped along with the tune joyously as he looked at them lovingly.
It was definitely a touching moment. She teared up again as she turned over to look at Mu Yuchen without uttering anything at that moment. All her words turned into a heartfelt kiss on his cheek.
She thought that if everything that happened before was just for this moment, it was worth it. In the long life ahead of her, she would definitely revisit this moment countless times.
He passionately fulfilled her deepest desires and made sure she imprinted this moment in her mind forever to remember in the future.
She spoke in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Mu, thank you for all that you've given me."
He hugged her and smiled. "Silly, you're my wife! Everything that's mine belongs to you."
"You really love me, don't you?" she asked gently.
"Have what I've done so far not been enough to prove so? No matter how good others can be, you will always be the apple of my eye," he replied almost instantly. His moving words removed the very last ounce of trauma that was left inside her heart.
"I'll be with you for the rest of my life. I only want to care for you," he whispered into her ear as they walked forward.
Xi Xiaye felt like she had fallen into a pool of honey and did not want to get out.
All the lights inside the castle were lit. Xi Xiaye could see the crowd gathering in the hall through the lights. Everyone was already sitting by the tables with huge smiles on their faces and giving them their blessings.
Shen Yue, Wang Hui, and the others came up to them.
"So beautiful! You're the loveliest bride ever! Good job, Xiaye!" Wang Hui looked at Xi Xiaye and complimented her.
Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye traded glances with each other before nodding graciously together.
"Grandpa, Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, Mother, thank you!" They politely bowed in gratitude before Shen Yue and the others.
