Fu Chenyuan took Jiang Wanning's hand and gently squeezed it.

"No, Wanwan, you're just too cute."

He praised her for being cute again.

“You’re right. There’s no need for complicated family dynamics. You don’t need to change yourself; they’ll understand eventually.”

They will understand that Jiang Wanning is unguarded with her family and speaks her mind.

Moreover, Jiang Wanning only speaks the facts, has clear logic, and is very good at expressing the key points.

Jiang Wanning seemed to have come to her senses as well.

"Does Grandpa want me to let him play the water but feel embarrassed? But I see that Grandpa is having a lot of fun."

"No, you did a great job. Keep torturing them next time, hahaha, that way they'll spend more time practicing. It's good for older people to use their brains."

Jiang Wanning looked up at him upon hearing this, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"Shen Yuan, you also know how to care for your family."

Fu Chenyuan realized what was happening, then paused, and awkwardly changed the subject.

He was already ten years old when he returned to the Fu family. He wasn't close to them, and at first they felt guilty and were very cautious. They accepted all his requests, but later, once the way they interacted became fixed, it was hard to change.

He also envied how relaxed and unrestrained his older brother and second sister were in front of their family; he couldn't do it.

The wounds in his heart can only be healed by himself; no one can take his place.

After walking for a while, Fu Chenyuan led Jiang Wanning to the room where they had tried on wedding dresses during the day.

Fu Chenyuan turned on the light, and the feeling of night entering seemed somewhat strange.

Jiang Wanning asked with some confusion, "Shen Yuan, what are we doing here?"

“I didn’t come back this afternoon because of work. I wanted to see you try on your wedding dress one more time.”

Jiang Wanning suddenly felt a little dry-mouthed under Fu Chenyuan's burning gaze: "But I already tried it during the day, and you saw it too."

"I want to see it with my own eyes." Fu Chenyuan emphasized the words "see it with my own eyes." "About you, the past is irretrievable, I am present in every moment of the present, I want to be a part of every single thing, and I don't want to miss out on the future."

The wedding dress shimmered with a mesmerizing brilliance under the lights, just like Cinderella's glass slipper.

The difference is that this wedding dress won't disappear after midnight.

Jiang Wanning didn't hesitate any longer. It seemed difficult for her to refuse Fu Chenyuan's request. She didn't want to refuse because she also wanted to pamper him.

Both of them had emotional wounds. She didn't know if she could heal his wounds, but she wanted to get closer to him and try harder.

She is proactive when she wants to do something; she won't stay in one place and wait for Fu Chenyuan to take the initiative.

"Okay," she replied, and went into the fitting room.

The automatic curtains slowly closed, blocking Fu Chenyuan's view.

Jiang Wanning looked in the mirror and let out a barely perceptible sigh.

She wasn't this nervous when she came to try on wedding dresses this afternoon, but now she's so nervous!

Separated by a curtain, Fu Chenyuan was waiting for her there.

It's such a wonderful feeling, like they're an engaged couple about to get married, trying on wedding dresses like any other couple before their wedding.

Although they got their marriage certificate first, they didn't miss out on anything they were entitled to.

A rustling sound came from inside the curtain. Fu Chenyuan stood to one side, listening to the noise, suppressing his thoughts and trying to calm his mind.

Jiang Wanning didn't expect that the training exercises, which were convenient during the day, would become somewhat inconvenient at night.

She tried several times, but couldn't pull it up in the end.

Jiang Wanning's sweet, soft voice came through: "Chen Yuan~"

Fu Chenyuan replied, "I'm here."

Jiang Wanning pursed her lips: "Could you do me a favor? I'm stuck on the training exercise."

Fu Chenyuan strode to the curtain but then stopped. His voice was a little hoarse, and his hand touched the curtain with restraint: "May I come in now?"

“Okay,” Jiang Wanning replied.

She was already dressed, but the zipper at the back wasn't zipped up yet.

Upon hearing this, Fu Chenyuan did not hesitate any longer. He lifted the curtain, went inside, and then froze.

Jiang Wanning was looking at the full-length mirror on the wall with her back to him. Her wedding dress was halfway zipped up, revealing her fair and slender back.

Although I had already seen Jiang Wanning in a wedding dress in a video, seeing her in person was even more impactful.

Jiang Wanning saw Fu Chenyuan standing there, stunned, through the rearview mirror, and turned around: "Chenyuan?"

Fu Chenyuan personally designed this wedding dress, using only the finest moonstones and diamonds, and he personally selected all the materials.

The wedding dress was finished three months ago and has been stored here ever since.

Back then, he often sat here late at night when he couldn't sleep, imagining Jiang Wanning in her wedding dress.

Now, my wish has come true.

Jiang Wanning swallowed hard, becoming even more nervous.

"Sinking Abyss?"

Fu Chenyuan snapped out of his daze, smiled faintly, and walked up to Jiang Wanning.

"Let me help you pull it."

Jiang Wanning turned around as instructed, her back to Fu Chenyuan.

She looked in the mirror, and the man stood behind her, his fingers gently pulling up the zipper.

He lowered his head and gazed down, focused and devout, as he slowly pulled himself up the training field.

His fingers touched her skin, and after the zipper was pulled up, Fu Chenyuan lowered his head and kissed Jiang Wanning's neck.

Then, he hugged Jiang Wanning from behind and looked at her in the mirror: "You're beautiful."

Fu Chenyuan just held her like that, without making any other moves.

Jiang Wanning looked in the mirror, their bodies entwined, their eyes meeting through the mirror.

Jiang Wanning's heart trembled when she met Fu Chenyuan's gaze.

Fu Chenyuan's gaze was so naked, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
