Chapter 590  : The Wedding

Shu Pan watched as he walked away, feeling deeply touched. He had put so much thought into arranging such a memorable wedding for her.

Just then, the voice of the wedding emcee broke the silence.

The wedding had begun, and the bridal march music began to play.

Shu Laide and Joy approached her. Shu Laide held Shu Pan’s hand, while Joy helped adjust her dress.

“Mommy, you look so beautiful, like a princess. Will I get to wear such pretty clothes too someday?” Joy said enviously. To her, Mommy was the most beautiful mommy in the world.

She wished she could have clothes just like Mommy’s.

“You will, sweetheart. When you grow up, you’ll meet someone you love, and you’ll look even more beautiful than Mommy,” Shu Pan replied, amused by Joy’s innocent words.

Shu Laide looked at Shu Pan, his heart filled with mixed emotions, feeling a lump in his throat.

His daughter was now a wife and a mother.

The daughter he had raised was finally going to wear a wedding gown and walk towards another man, hand in hand, to spend a lifetime together.

Finally, he had waited for this moment, to walk his daughter down the aisle and entrust her into another man’s hands.

Step by step, he led Shu Pan through the floral arch, handing her over to Gu Shaoting.

This scene deeply moved Shu Pan, her eyes welling up with tears. She nearly cried, fearing her makeup might smudge.

Amidst the shower of petals, Gu Shaoting held Shu Pan’s hand as they walked towards the emcee.

Feeling even more nervous, Shu Pan tightly squeezed Gu Shaoting’s hand.

“Don’t be nervous, I’m here,” Gu Shaoting whispered softly.

Shu Pan nodded, pressing her lips together.

The wedding emcee cleared his throat and began speaking, starting with the customary thank you to all the relatives and friends for their presence, then proceeded to recount the groom and bride’s journey of acquaintance and love.

Soon, it was time for the most anticipated part of the entire wedding: the ring exchange.

“May I ask the handsome groom if you are willing to take Miss Shu Pan, this beautiful and enchanting lady beside you, to be your wife? Through sickness and health, poverty and wealth, are you willing to spend your life with her?” The emcee inquired.

Gu Shaoting responded firmly, “I do, very much so.”

The guests chuckled at his response.

Shu Pan found it amusing as well, but she also felt deeply moved.

The emcee seemed pleased and then turned to Shu Pan. “And may I ask the beautiful bride, if you are willing to marry this handsome and compelling groom beside you? Through sickness and health, poverty and wealth, to be together till death do you part?”

“I do.” Shu Pan replied firmly, looking through her veil at Gu Shaoting before giving her answer.

“Excellent! Our bride and groom are deeply in love with each other. Please come forward, exchange rings to symbolize your unwavering devotion to love. Now, let the bridesmaids and groomsmen present the rings.” The emcee announced loudly.

They exchanged rings as a symbol of their love, and then Gu Shaoting slowly lifted Shu Pan’s veil. Their eyes met, filled with nothing but each other.

Without waiting for the emcee’s announcement, Gu Shaoting pulled Shu Pan close, planting a passionate kiss on her lips.

The emcee, noticing this, couldn’t help but tease, “Though the groom is not following the script, we understand. When marrying such a beautiful bride, a bit of impatience is only natural.”

The guests couldn’t help but laugh.

Shu Pan wished she could disappear into the ground; this man never followed the rules.

Gu Shaoting couldn’t bear to part from Shu Pan’s lips, gazing at her with such tenderness it seemed his eyes could drip with emotion.

“Honey, we’re finally married,” he said, believing this time was the true marriage in his heart.

“Mm,” Shu Pan’s voice choked with emotion, on the verge of tears from the overwhelming sentiment.
