After saying that, Ye Mufan wanted to cry. If he dared to have a child before marrying, his parents would've broken his legs eons ago! However, when they learned Wanwan's child was so old already, not only did they not shout at her, but they even cried from delight and celebrated joyously!

Soon, the rock and roll version of Little Red Riding Hood finished and the solemn Wedding March started playing. Ye Wanwan and Si Yehan, who had switched into a wedding dress and suit respectively, also walked up onto the stage hand in hand and received congratulations all around.

…

When the wedding ceremony was about to conclude, Haitang walked toward Ye Wanwan. "Worriless… It's time for me to give you an item."

Ye Wanwan was startled. "What item?"

Haitang pulled out a USB and handed it to Ye Wanwan. "Your marriage still needs congratulations from one person."

"Who?" Ye Wanwan asked.

"Ji Xiuran," Haitang replied.

"Ji Xiuran…" Ye Wanwan murmured.

That man still hadn't appeared to this day.

Ye Wanwan immediately met Si Yehan's eyes. Si Yehan patted her hair and plugged the USB in.

Under everyone's watch, the giant screen lit up.

The man appeared to be located inside a warehouse. He was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt with an incredibly familiar and warm smile hanging on his face.

A mere glance was all it took for Ye Wanwan to recognize the setting as the island that once imprisoned everyone.

"Sister Wanwan, h.e.l.lo."

When Ye Wanwan heard Ji Xiuran's form of address for her, she was startled.

Ji Xiuran had always called her Worriless, so why did he call her Wanwan here?

Perhaps because he expected she'd hold her wedding in China, right?

Ye Wanwan kept listening.

Ji Xiuran's lips turned up. "If I guessed correctly, you're probably getting married today, right…"

After saying that, the man faced the camera but remained silent for a long time.

"Congratulations on finding your true home. I believe that your other half can guard and protect you for the rest of your life," the man continued with a smile a moment later.

"I'm very sorry and regretful I might not be able to personally attend your wedding. But thankfully, there's equipment here that can allow me to leave behind a token to express my congratulations to you."

"You don't need to worry about me. In truth, I've liked someone for a while. I originally wanted to let her live her life without worries, but unfortunately, I shouldered too many burdens. I couldn't fulfill my promise to her in the first half of my life… but I've decided that I will return to her side in the second half of my life and will never leave or abandon her until death strips me away."

"The current me has probably left the Independent State to be with her. She likes ordinariness and placidness, free from the conflicts of the world. This is also the life I wish for."

"Si Yehan, some things are hard-earned. I hope you can treasure it well. If you dare to let down my sister one day, I'll turn you into ashes."

"Wanwan, remember, you must smile no matter what the future holds."

"Farewell."

…

Below the stage, Haitang sighed softly.

In the end, Ji Xiuran still wasn't able to let go of his final conviction.

Otherwise, why would he call her Wanwan instead of Worriless in his congratulatory video?

He still couldn't call someone else's bride "Worriless"…
