Chapter 221 A Heavy Weight of Happiness, I Like to Carry It

Li Mai's palms were slightly sweaty.

Even though she and Zhou Songyan had already registered their marriage, she was still nervous on this occasion.

Zhou Songyan took her hand and intertwined their fingers.

Li Mai looked up and met those deep, affectionate dark eyes. The two smiled at each other.

...

Those wedding speeches were familiar to everyone, but Li Mai was deeply moved by them and couldn't stop crying.

Zhou Songyan looked down at her, his eyes overflowing with deep affection.

His voice was gentle and indulgent: "Silly girl, why are you crying?"

Li Mai choked up as she said, "I'm happy."

Zhou Songyan curled the corner of her mouth slightly: "Your makeup is ruined by crying."

"Huh? Am I ugly right now?"

Zhou Songyan wiped away the tears on her face with his rough fingertips.

"No, you are still beautiful, the most beautiful bride."

Li Mai smiled, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling.

“Zhou Songyan, I love you. I haven’t stopped loving you for a moment since six years ago. Loving you is a natural reaction, like drinking water every day. I’m so happy to be able to marry you.”

Zhou Songyan's pupils contracted, his eyes darkened, and he cupped Li Mai's face, lowering his head to kiss her.

master of ceremonies:"……"

It's not time for the kiss yet!

He boldly joked with a smile, "Our groom is really impatient!"

This is the son of a prominent figure in Beijing's elite circles, the head of the Zhou family.

Normally, he wouldn't dare to make fun of it.

The audience erupted in laughter.

The two on stage were lost in their kiss.

Grandma Zhou covered Chengcheng's eyes.

"Not suitable for children."

The elders in the family blushed and looked around, too embarrassed to watch the two passionately kissing on the stage.

Zhang Jingran held her face in her hands, watching with great interest.

"Wow! My cousin is such a good kisser! It's the first time I've ever seen him kiss a woman, it's so captivating! So sensual! Tsk tsk tsk, my cousin's wife is going to suffocate from the kiss, I'm so worried..."

"Shut up!"

Zhou Qianlian could no longer tolerate it.

This child is becoming increasingly mentally unstable.

"Stop looking!"

Zhang Jingran: "Why? Aren't we all sitting here today to witness their happy moment, right now?"

"Ahhh! My cousin is French kissing his wife!"

Zhou Qianlian: "..."

The rest of the people: "..."

Grandma Zhou covered Chengcheng's ears, feeling like she didn't have enough hands.

Chengcheng giggled.

"Grandma, it's okay. I've seen Mom and Dad kiss before."

Grandma Zhou: "You're not allowed to watch it anymore."

Oh dear, how could these two behave like this towards other people's parents? Don't they know how to be more discreet?

So embarrassing!

...

Zhou Songyan released Li Mai, his nose touching hers, his eyes so deep they seemed to draw her in.

"MaiMai, my wife, I love you too, so much..."

Zhou Songyan's voice trembled slightly.

"The only regret I have in my life is leaving you six years ago, but in those five years, I never forgot you for a moment, and I never stopped loving you for a moment."

"Thank goodness, thank goodness you're back by my side... I know how wrong I was in the past, I should have come to you sooner... For the rest of my life, I will love you and protect you, I never want to be separated from you again."

Li Mai burst into tears again.

...

The wedding is over.

Zhou Songyan took Li Maifei to the Zhou family's private island for their honeymoon.

Chengcheng has been staying at the Zhou family's old house for some time.

As soon as the Zhou family got out of the car, they saw Han Ying standing at the door. Their expressions were unpleasant, and they didn't intend to pay any attention to her.

Han Ying called out to Zhou Jingtian.

Zhou Jingtian said to the others, "You guys go in first."

After everyone went inside.

Zhou Jingtian looked at Han Ying: "Is something the matter?"

Han Ying: "Li Mai is the child of Sheng Zhaohui's affair with Li Shirong. Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Zhou Jingtian: "What's there to say?"

"Li Mai is an illegitimate child. How can you expect Xiao Yan to marry an illegitimate child?"

"Han Ying, don't judge people with prejudice. Li Mai is a good girl. She and Song Yan are truly in love. Why should I stop them?"

Han Ying: "What kind of status does the Zhou family have? What kind of status does Xiao Yan have? Marrying an illegitimate daughter, isn't that just making them a laughing stock?"

Zhou Jingtian glanced at her with cold, deep eyes: "Life is my own, why should I care about other people's opinions? If I cared about other people's opinions, I wouldn't have lived more than 20 years ago."

Han Ying's face turned pale.

Zhou Jingtian sneered, ignored Han Ying, and stepped inside.

Han Ying felt as if she had been slapped in the face; her cheeks burned.

Zhou Qianlian and Grandma Zhou whispered to each other, "Is Han Ying still trying to pester Big Brother?"

Grandma Zhou: "Jingtian will not accept her."

Zhou Qianlian: "She did such a thing, it's right that my brother doesn't forgive her."

That year, the Zhou family almost went bankrupt due to the financial crisis.

Seeing that the Zhou family was on the verge of collapse, Han Ying argued with Zhou Jingtian every day, threatening to divorce him, which exhausted Zhou Jingtian and caused chaos in the Zhou family.

Not long after, she hooked up with a man, and the two openly appeared together, rubbing Zhou Jingtian's face against the ground.

Zhou Songyan was only eight years old at that time.

I saw her in bed with a man with my own eyes...

Han Ying didn't care about Zhou Songyan's thoughts at all and clearly told him that she wanted a divorce and wouldn't want him anymore.

Zhou Jingtian ultimately chose to let go.

After her divorce, Han Ying couldn't wait to move abroad with that man. She hasn't come back to see Zhou Songyan or even made a phone call in all these years.

...

Standing by the sea.

Li Mai listened to Zhou Songyan recount his childhood.

This was the first time Zhou Songyan spoke about Han Ying.

I never imagined he had such a terrible experience.

I saw it with my own eyes...

Han Ying also said such cruel things to him when he was eight years old.

Li Mai hugged him from behind.

Zhou Songyan looked down at those slender white hands, a smile appearing on his brows.

Li Mai's voice drifted into my ears on the sea breeze.

"Honey, it's all in the past. You have me, you have Chengcheng, and you have many people with you."

Zhou Songyan turned around and pulled her into his arms.

“I’m not upset at all now. I’m telling you this so you can understand everything about me.”

Li Mai nestled into his arms.

"knew."

The two embraced for a while.

The wind at the beach picked up, and Li Mai was dressed rather lightly.

Zhou Songyan patted the person in his arms.

"Let's go back."

Li Mai raised her head: "Honey, I want you to carry me on your back."

Zhou Songyan smiled and half-squatted down in front of her.

Li Mai arched her eyebrows, leaned over, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Zhou Songyan grabbed her thigh, lifted her up slightly, and helped her stand up steadily.

"Honey, am I heavy?"

"Heavy."

"..."

"I like to carry this heavy happiness on my back."

Li Mai laughed out loud: "Turn your head around."

Zhou Songyan turned his head away.

Li Mai gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

"You're so eloquent, here's a reward."

Zhou Songyan chuckled softly.

"This kind of reward can be given more often."

"Okay!"
