1674 The Canopy Of Heaven Witnessed Their Union

Im sorry you have to put up with this, Jier. Chu Qi was full of regret.

Jier shook her head, a sincere smile spreading across her face. Im happy enough knowing that youre willing to marry me.

Her humble words sent a sharp pang through Chu Qis heart, making him want to call it off.

She was a royal princess. Why should she humble herself like this?

He pressed his lips into a thin line. His grip tightened on the objects in his hands, and his eyes dimmed.

After a long time, he let out a soft sigh. He touched her cheek and said tenderly, Jier, maybe we should do this another time When youve come of age, Ill give everything I have to marry you.

She did not deserve to be treated so carelessly.

He wanted to give everything he had to marry hernot doing it in this sloppy, miserable way.

However, Jier s.n.a.t.c.hed the wedding veil from him and put it over her head. Her glum voice came from behind the veil, I dont want to wait any longer, Lil Qi. I want to marry you right now. She paused, then said, If you wont marry me now you wont get to marry me ever.

Chu Qi clenched his fists. He was reluctant to put Jier through such poor treatment.

She was the best treasure in the world, and she deserved to be treated lavishly.

However, if he rejected her again at this point, she would be heartbroken and would keep her distance from him from then on.

He could not lose her. He did not want to spend the rest of his life without her by his side.

His eyes darkened. In that case, he would let himself be selfish.

He lit the wedding candles and placed them on the table. Then, he took Jiers hand, and both of them bowed toward the night sky.

Finally, both husband and wife bowed to each other.

There was no venue packed with guests, no gorgeous wedding gownonly the cold canopy of heaven was there to witness their union.

After the ceremony, Chu Qi helped Jier sit down on the bed and removed the veil from her head.

Under the candlelight, a drunken blush appeared on her cheeks, its color even more brilliant than rouge.

Chu Qi could not tear his eyes away from her.

Feeling bashful under his gaze, Jier nudged him and reminded him softly, Lil Qi, you prepared wedlock wine too, didnt you?

Chu Qi came back to his senses, his face turning red. He gave her hand a squeeze. Yes. Ill fetch it now.

He quickly brought the wine over. He handed one cup to her and held the other himself.

After linking their arms and drinking the wedlock wine, they fell silent.

A long moment later, Jier snuggled up to Chu Qi and put her arms around his waist, saying affectionately, Lil Qi, Im so glad were married now.

The ends of Chu Qis eyes were tinged with intoxication. Gazing at the lovely girl in his embrace, he felt as if he was in a dream.

From that moment on, Jier was his wife and lifelong partner.

What had he done to deserve her love and the chance to marry her?

Giving in to his drunkenness, he cupped her face and kissed her lovingly.

The wedding candles on the table crackled softly as they burned, the flickering flames seeming to send their most sincere blessings to the newlywed couple.

The candles burned all night, and it was not until daybreak that the movement in the room finally ceased.

Chu Qi cradled a sweat-drenched Jier in his arms.

Jier had fallen asleep from fatigue. The tears at the corners of her eyes tugged at Chu Qis heartstrings.

He wiped them away gently, feeling a little guilty at the sight of the exhausted girl in his arms.

He had not meant to wear her out. He wanted to let her go after the first round, but she clung so tightly to him that he lost control and went harder on her.

It was the first time for both of them, so they could not help being awkward and clumsy.

He had done his best to restrain himself, but he still ended up hurting her.

As Chu Qi gazed at Jiers young face, guilt welled up in him.
