Chapter 536 Wedding Confession

An old man and a young man were leaning over their mobile phones to watch the wedding together.

Xie Shu had just finished taking his medicine and was walking down the stairs slowly. He looked at the two heads, one large and one small, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at? You look so focused."

"nothing……"

Fu Shifan raised his head and interrupted Old Wilson, "This is the wedding of a good friend of my aunt. Grandma, you should come and see it too. The groom looks like my uncle..."

Xie Shu walked over upon hearing this, leaned over to look at the newlyweds on the screen, and was stunned when his eyes fell on the groom.

Isn’t this Yan Huai?

Her son got married outside and she, as a mother, didn't even know about it.

She looked at Wilson Sr. inquiringly.

Old Wilson gave her a reassuring look.

Xie Shu pursed his lips, sat down next to Fu Shifan, and started reading together.

Tang's father handed Tang Shishi's hand to Yan Huai, who was kneeling on one knee. After the two newlyweds hugged each other, they walked hand in hand along the flower avenue and went to the main stage to exchange rings according to the host's arrangement.

"Fanfan, can you please go and pour a glass of water for grandpa?" Old Wilson suddenly said.

Fu Shifan got up and left.

Xie Shu glanced at Old Wilson suspiciously.

After exchanging rings, the vows began.

"Mr. Yan Huai, are you willing to marry Miss Tang Shishi and love, respect, and protect her forever, whether she is sick or healthy, rich or poor, until she passes away?"

"I do!"

"Ms. Tang Shishi, are you willing to marry Mr. Yan Huai and love, respect, and protect her forever, whether she is sick or healthy, rich or poor, until she passes away?"

“…I do.”

Under Yan Huai's scorching gaze, Tang Shishi looked away.

Even though she knew that their marriage was fake and the wedding was just a formality, her heart was still pounding.

"Okay, congratulations to the newlyweds on becoming husband and wife from now on. I'm sure the groom has a lot to say to his bride. Let's give the microphone to him."

Fu Shifan came over with a cup of water and placed it in front of Old Wilson, "Here."

She sat back on the sofa and continued watching "The Wedding Live".

Yan Huai took the microphone and said, "Thank you all for taking the time to attend my wedding. Today is the most important day of my life. I have finally fulfilled my dream and married the person I love most! Before I knew it, time has flown by and we have known each other for twelve years."

He looked into Tang Shishi's eyes. "When we first met, I was drawn to your lively and agile nature. But I knew there was a world of difference between you and me. It was you who took the initiative to hold my hand and gave me the courage to strive for the future. Later, things changed. Seven years later, I was separated from you. Every night in a foreign country, I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Only by reminiscing about the past could I find a moment of peace."

Tang Shishi lowered her eyes, and scenes of memories emerged in her mind, making her heart feel bitter.

"Homesickness makes me timid. When I return home, I'm both happy and afraid. I'm afraid you've already let go of the past and moved on, afraid that there's no possibility for us anymore. I meanly used a cold exterior to cover up my inner greed. Fortunately, our fate isn't over yet. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. From now on, I will always be by your side, walking through every spring, summer, autumn and winter together, never leaving you, and accompanying you for the rest of my life..."

Yan Huai put down the microphone, and the emcee said, "Use one sentence to express how important the bride is to you."

"She is my life."

"Wow!" the emcee exclaimed, and the audience burst into applause.

Wen Liang looked at the stage, listening attentively to Yan Huai's speech, and couldn't help but pat the back of his right hand holding the phone with his left hand.

Fu Zheng curled his lips and whispered in her ear, "Miss Wen is also my life, no, more important than my life."

"Oh."

This time he was closer to the phone, and the sound came out clearly from the phone and fell into the ears of Fu Shifan, Old Wilson and Xie Shu.

Fu Shifan couldn't help but laugh, "This voice is my father's!"

Old Wilson: “…”

The emcee then asked, "Bride, after hearing the groom's heartfelt words, what do you want to say?"

"Thank you for your tolerance along the way. I believe we will continue on this journey together."

The emcee looked surprised when he saw Tang Shishi put down the microphone. "Anything else?"

“No more.”

Tang Shishi blushed a little.

She originally thought it was just a formality and that her speech was not prepared at all. Who could have thought that Yan Huai could say so much in one breath!

"...Okay, let's move on to the next step..."

The wedding was over, the bride and groom left the stage, and the banquet officially began. Wen Liang said goodbye to Fu Shifan and hung up the video call.

Xie Shu let Fu Shifan play alone in the living room. He called Old Wilson upstairs on the pretext of something and looked at him coldly, "Explain to me, what's going on?"

Xie Shu could tell from Yan Huai's confession that it came from the heart.

My son has always been cold and reserved. When has he ever been so emotional?

"Haven't you figured it out? Tang was his girlfriend back home. He's been thinking about her since he came to Philadelphia. He's been coming to Jiangcheng since last year just to get back together with her."

Old Wilson knew about Tang Shishi two years after Yan Huai came to Philadelphia.

Having been deprived of family affection for many years, the father and son were not close. During the summer vacation at Yanhuai University, he ran back to Country Z alone under the pretext of studying in other cities. He waited at the gate of a university in Beijing for three days and finally met the person he wanted to see, but he didn't dare to step forward to recognize him and just left.

After returning to Philadelphia, he acted as if nothing had happened, but he didn't know that all his whereabouts were known to old Wilson.

Xie Shu was puzzled. "Since you're back together, why didn't you bring her back to meet your parents? Instead, you concealed the truth and held the wedding there?"

Old Wilson snorted, "They didn't get back together. She resented him for leaving without saying goodbye, so how could they get back together so easily? He only managed to get the chance to pretend to be married to her after paying her all sorts of money."

Xie Shu: “…”

"Pretending to be a couple?"

"Yes, they didn't get a marriage certificate. The wedding was just a formality."

"No wonder the bride was so perfunctory just now..." Xie Shu sighed and glared at Old Wilson. "I advised you back then not to push him too hard."

"Can he come back if we don't force him?"

Xie Shu's thoughts returned to the wedding, and he discovered a clue. "Could it be that he hasn't revealed his true identity yet?"

Otherwise, without the couple present, the wedding would not be convincing.

"Hmm." Old Wilson nodded. "He wouldn't dare."

"Why?"

"Because Tang is Wen Liang's friend."

"What do you mean?" Xie Shu was stunned. She had never seen Wen Liang, but that didn't stop her from hearing the name "Wen Liang" many times.

"Ilia did something stupid in Jiangcheng. To target Wen Liang, she kidnapped Tang and nearly put him in danger. Tang particularly disliked Ilia, and naturally had no good feelings towards Ilia's brother."

Xie Shu: "...So, that's why he asked the Jiangcheng police to detain Ilia?"

"right."

"..." Xie Shu frowned, "What nonsense! If you knew all this, why didn't you stop him?!"
