No matter how established his business may be, he’s still just a businessman at the end of the day. It would be a piece of cake for Tuoba Gucheng, the president of the nation, to deal with him via political means.

That was not what she wanted to happen.

Acting recklessly on impulse will only make things worse.

In fact, Jin Qingyan was well aware of that as well.

——

It was the 30th of December, the day of Jin Qingyue and Ling Ciye’s wedding.

The bride-to-be had woken up early in the morning at five o’clock to change into her wedding gown and have her makeup done. She was in high spirits and thoroughly enjoyed the process, despite being extremely busy.

The groom, too, was dressing up and getting ready. Long Tianze stifled a yawn and said mockingly, “Once Ciye gets married, Qingyan will be the only bachelor left amongst us. Like what they always say, whoever gets married first is more likely to end up in a divorce. You’re a true-blue singleton.”

Jin Qingyan remained calm and ignored his sarcastic remark. “I stepped into the grave of marriage and climbed out of it again, unlike you two. You’ll only be able to remain inside that grave for life. You can’t even come out to take a breather,” he retorted.

“Oh, wow, you’re making it sound as if you’re not going to bind yourself to the shackles of marriage ever again for the rest of your life. We all know how much you want to get married again, but things just haven’t been going your way. I really hope Sis-in-law won’t fall into your hands again. I hope you die of desperation,” Long Tianze gibed, shaking his leg.

“I’m afraid you’ll have to be disappointed. I’m not in a hurry at all. It’s not like I haven’t been married before.”

Amused by their banter, Ling Ciye hit the nail on its head and said, “Tianze, stop trying to spite him. There’s no use no matter how hard you try to spite him. It’s not up to him to decide whether or not he gets married again anyway.”

“I’m going to throw you both into outer s.p.a.ce. Quit acting so smugly in front of me.” Jin Qingyan s.h.i.+fted his gaze onto Ling Ciye and continued, “You, especially, Brother-in-law.”

Long Tianze guffawed hysterically and exclaimed, “Ciye, hurry and call him your Brother. Let him give you a huge red packet!”

“Sure, no big deal. We’re already family, after all. Right, Brother?” said Ling Ciye.

“Be good to Qingyue from now on. After all…”

Jin Qingyan stared at Long Tianze with a sneer and continued, “Someone over here didn’t manage to win her heart despite having given his all.”

“Exactly. What a glorious past,” Ling Ciye chimed in.

Long Tianze clutched his chest and said, “How could you two bear to stab me in my heart?”

“An eye for an eye.”

“That’s what buddies are for.”

Long Tianze was speechless.

“Qingyan, did you know? Song Yan got married a few days ago and Ciye attended her wedding. Ciye has also invited her to his wedding today. Do you think the media will label them as the best ex-couple of S Nation?” Long Tianze jested.

“Maybe they will.”

Pretending to be deep in thought, Long Tianze asked, “Ciye, don’t tell me you invited s.h.i.+ Shaochuan too?”

“How did you know? I really did invite that wimpy rascal, but I wonder if he’ll dare to show up?” Ling Ciye said with a grin.

“He’ll come for sure, just you wait and see. He’ll definitely bring Bao’er along to wreak havoc.”

“Do you think he won’t stir trouble even if we don’t invite him? Now that we’ve already let him have her full custody, he still brought Bao’er to my place shamelessly to disrupt our peace. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t take this opportunity to create trouble at my wedding.”

“Why did you still invite him, then?”

“I have my own plans.”

“Hahahaha!” Long Tianze burst into laughter all of a sudden, smacking his thigh.

Jin Qingyan and Ling Ciye stared at him in puzzlement and asked, “What are you laughing about?”

“I just realized that s.h.i.+ Shaochuan is the ex-husband of both your women. He’s really something, eh? Hahahaha.”

“…”

When it was time to fetch the bride, Jin Qingyue was picked up from Jin Qingyan’s home in Wei Ni Estate and escorted to Ling Ciye’s doorstep.

The bridal cars filled the streets, and many curious onlookers craned their necks to take a closer look.

Jin Qingyue was seated inside the car in her wedding gown, her hands trembling uncontrollably in nervousness.

She instantly felt more relaxed and at ease the moment Ling Ciye opened the car door and gave her his hand. She held onto it and alighted from the bridal car.

Ling Ciye scooped her up and walked inside while the surrounding guests began applauding and cheering enthusiastically.

They walked down the red carpet toward the ceremony stage.

The emcee was none other than Long Tianze, who had willingly volunteered to take on the role.

Dressed in a formal suit with a huge smile on his face, Long Tianze stood in front of a microphone stand and waited for all the guests to be seated before making his speech, “Ladies and Gentlemen, a very warm welcome to Mr. Ling Ciye and Ms. Jin Qingyue’s wedding ceremony, which you have all taken the time out of your busy schedules to attend and to witness this beautiful moment. I hereby declare that the solemnization ceremony will now begin.”

The crowd began applauding zealously.

Long Tianze continued, “Mr. Ling Ciye, will you promise to love, cherish, and honor your wife, Ms. Jin Qingyue, even when she’s become old and gray, ill-stricken, plump, and a nagging old hag?”

“I will.”

To everyone’s surprise, Long Tianze did not pose the same question to Jin Qingyue and instead asked simply, “Ms. Jin Qingyue, do you love Mr. Ling Ciye?”

“I love him!” Jin Qingyue exclaimed.

“You may now exchange wedding bands and express your love for each other.”

The wedding bands were not only bound around their fingers but also their hearts.

The newlyweds held each other’s gazes in front of the crowd.

Time seemed to have stopped in its tracks.

So did the air.

All eyes were on them.

“Thank you for appearing in my life at the right time, and for allowing me to enter your world. I’ve been extremely blissful during the time I’ve spent with you. From now onward, I’ll do my best to be your dutiful wife, Father and Mother’s daughter-in-law, and the mother of your child. I’ll accompany you forever, ’til death do us part,” said Jin Qingyue, her heart racing continuously.

It was Ling Ciye’s turn to speak. “I’ve been enjoying myself every single day that I spent with you. I enjoy being together with you, and I’m willing to spend the rest of my life with you as your husband. I’ll forever be loyal toward you and dote on you.”

Jin Qingyue burst into tears and they pulled each other in for a kiss.

s.h.i.+ Shaochuan was sitting together with Jin Bao’er in the guests’ area. He looked down and whispered something to Jin Bao’er, who nodded and remained seated quietly.

Song Yan and her husband were sitting beside each other. Chen Liang wanted to leave before the banquet, like what Ling Ciye did during their wedding. However, Song Yan was against the idea and Chen Liang had no choice but to concede, for he could not outargue his wife.

The wedding banquet was to be held in a hotel nearby.

Jin Qingyue proceeded to the venue together with Ling Ciye after changing into her next gown.

When the toasting ceremony began, s.h.i.+ Shaochuan immediately approached them and exclaimed, “I went to the bathroom and realized that Bao’er had gone missing!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Ciye sneered and pointed at a spot a distance away. “Isn’t she right there?”
