Jiang Hua was so moved that she couldn't speak; tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. The nanny and Jiang En, witnessing this scene, silently offered their blessings.

"Jiang Hua, will you marry me?" Knowing she was deeply moved by the scene, Gu Yiming proposed to her again with heartfelt affection. His heart was filled with trepidation; although she was already wearing the ring he had bought for her, he was still afraid she would take it off at any moment. Thankfully, after so long, it didn't happen.

"Yiming, are you really serious?" Jiang Hua forced her tears back into her chest and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. Gu Yiming's sudden proposal had surprised, delighted, and flustered her. He had completely disrupted her thoughts, and the decision she had carefully made up her mind crumbled at this moment.

"Jiang Hua, please believe me, I truly love you. This proposal is serious. I hope you will stay by my side for the rest of my life."

Gu Yiming's expression became very solemn and serious. He lowered his head and gently kissed her hand.

"Okay, I promise you."

After saying that, Jiang Hua felt much more relaxed. This time, she still chose to follow her heart. She realized that following her heart felt so pleasant. She hoped that this choice would be one she would never regret.

The sound of clapping from Jiang En and the nanny filled the air. Jiang Hua shyly lowered her head to look at the diamond ring on her hand, which he was still holding. The ring sparkled brilliantly under the moonlight.

"Ah!" Jiang Hua exclaimed as she was lifted up. "Jiang Hua agreed to marry me! Jiang Hua agreed to marry me! I'm so happy!" Hearing her reply, Gu Yiming's heart seemed to leap with joy. He stood up, picked Jiang Hua up in one scoop, and spun her around happily in the air.

Jiang Hua smiled helplessly. He looked like a child who had just received a new toy, which was extremely childish, but she enjoyed the process.

If only time could stand still at this moment, all worries would be kept outside, and this space would be just for her and him, living quietly and happily. Jiang En and the nanny quietly withdrew, leaving the two of them alone in this beautiful night.

Fireworks lit up the sky, and a gentle evening breeze caressed their faces, softly blowing the heart-shaped candles. Jiang Hua leaned quietly against Gu Yiming's shoulder, and the two sat there in the night for an unknown amount of time.

Gu Yiming sensed the drowsiness of the person beside him and looked gently at the somewhat tired Jiang Hua, saying, "After struggling all night, let's go back and rest first."

Jiang Hua nodded and tried to get up. But her whole body was numb. Without thinking, Gu Yiming bent down and picked her up, carrying her towards the room.

I had a good night's sleep.

For the next few days, Gu Yiming was busy preparing for the wedding. If he didn't want to give Jiang Hua a perfect and grand wedding, he wouldn't have wanted to wait a moment longer.

Only by marrying her quickly can he put his mind at ease and stop worrying all the time that she might leave him one day.

On the wedding day, the lights came on, and the room was filled with guests.

"In this beautiful season, a couple who truly love each other have embarked on a romantic journey of love, from acquaintance to understanding to falling in love. Well, dear friends, at this moment, I think all the guests and I share the same feelings, filled with excitement and anticipation, waiting for the arrival of our bride and groom today. Now, let us all focus our attention on the gate of happiness and welcome the newlyweds into this sacred wedding hall with the warmest applause."

The host gave his blessings in a passionate voice on stage.

Jiang Hua, dressed in a white wedding gown, and Gu Yiming, also in a white suit, stood in the hall. Loud applause erupted around them.

"Sir, when you take her hand, from this moment on, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, will you care for her, cherish her, protect her, understand her, respect her, care for her, be kind to her, and accompany her for the rest of your life, forever? Do you take this vow?" The host slowly asked Gu Yiming during the oath-taking ceremony. He smiled at the person beside him and nodded firmly, saying, "I do."

The audience burst into applause, and the host continued, "Madam, when you hold his hand, from this moment on, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, will you be faithful to him, support him, help him, comfort him, and accompany him for the rest of your life, forever? Do you?"

Jiang Hua smiled broadly, her eyes filled with tears, and nodded, saying, "I do."

"I will not agree to this wedding!" Just as the couple was exchanging rings, a cold voice came from the doorway. The guests and Jiang Hua turned around in surprise to look at the person who spoke.

"You can all go back now. Today's wedding is off!" Li Hao walked towards them with a serious expression, shooing away the guests who were sitting in their chairs.

"Dad! You can't do this!" Gu Yiming frowned, somewhat shocked by his sudden appearance.

"Why can't I do it? As long as I'm alive, as long as you're still my son, Li Hao, this woman can't enter the Li family!" Li Hao glared at him angrily.

"I don't care, I'm going to marry her today!" Gu Yiming said firmly to Li Hao, clenching his fist.

Jiang Hua, standing to the side, watched the father and son arguing, her face flushed red, and she looked at them with some difficulty.

"Jiang Hua! You shameless woman!" Bai Zijing appeared in front of her at some point, and before she could react, she saw Jiang Hua slap herself across the face. Jiang Hua felt a burning pain on her face, and glared angrily at Bai Zijing while covering her aching cheek.

"Let me tell you, Jiang Hua, a woman with such a shabby face, has no right to marry into the Li family. Don't be so shameless!" Bai Zijin looked at her smugly.

"Bai Zijing, are you sick?!" Gu Yiming hurriedly checked Jiang Hua's slapped face with concern. He anxiously asked, "Are you alright?"

Jiang Hua felt extremely embarrassed. She shook her head slightly, pushed him away, and turned to leave. Gu Yiming saw that she wanted to leave and quickly grabbed her: "Jiang Hua, don't go. Wait for me, I'll take care of things here soon."

On the other side, Bai Qingchuan rushed over to defend her after hearing the news. Bai Zijing was very unhappy to see her brother siding with this woman and humiliated Jiang Hua again.
