Outside the door were two little ones, a girl and a boy, who looked to be around six or seven years old. Both children were very good-looking with delicate features, and some even resembled Jiang Jingzhou.

Wow, Auntie, you look so beautiful!

"Mmm, you're just like a fairy! Did you come down from heaven?"

"..." The two stared at Lin Zhaoyue in a daze.

Lin Zhaoyue chuckled at their words and opened the door, gesturing for them to come inside.

Wearing new clothes and at this time of day, it must be the Jiang family's "scout" wedding party, and these two little ones came with them.

Lin Zhaoyue stuffed a handful of candy into each of their hands and warned them, "Don't eat them all at once, or little bugs might bite your teeth."

"Auntie, do you know who we are?"

The little girl tilted her head and asked curiously.

"Hmm," Lin Zhaoyue raised an eyebrow, a teasing thought forming in her mind, "You know, your uncle is Jiang Jingzhou, right?"

"Yes! You're such a fairy! You even guessed that." The little boy covered his mouth in surprise, his eyes wide open.

Indeed, children are the easiest to fool.

Lin Zhaoyue's smile widened slightly, "I also know that your mother and your uncle are siblings!"

"My God—" The two children were already in awe of Lin Zhaoyue; their aunt knew everything.

Lin Zhaoyue had heard Jiang Jingzhou say that he was an only child, so they were definitely not biological siblings, but cousins.

If she could give birth to a child this big, she must be the older sister.

The initial tension was greatly relieved by the two children.

"I still don't know your names." Lin Zhaoyue tried to chat with them to pass the time.

"My name is Lele, and this is my younger brother Linlin."

"Hello~" Lin Zhaoyue reached out and ruffled the heads of the two children. So cute~

"Hey? Whose children are these?" Niu Zaifang entered the house and saw two extra children, whose faces she didn't recognize.

"She's from my cousin Jingzhou's family," Lin Zhaoyue said casually, "She came up to play with me."

"Come on, let me put your hair up in a bun first." Niu Zaifang nodded and didn't say anything else.

The two little ones were really well-behaved, sitting quietly by the bed watching Lin Zhaoyue get dressed.

After Niu Zaifang finished her work, she went downstairs, leaving the two little ones in the room to keep Lin Zhaoyue company.

Time passed slowly, and it was broad daylight outside. At 8:30 a.m., Jiang Jingzhou arrived.

Six black sedans were parked in a row in front of the Lin family's gate. There were more people watching the spectacle today than at Lin Mingyue's wedding last time.

Jiang Jingzhou entered the house surrounded by the groom's relatives and friends. Lin Zhaoyue's family didn't have many relatives, so no one blocked the door.

Unlike the previous times when she dressed elegantly, his wife wore a red cheongsam, her cheeks slightly flushed, and her long hair was styled in an updo. She looked gentle, graceful, and radiant. He suddenly regretted arranging this "family and friends group" and was reluctant to let others see her.

"..." The originally noisy group of relatives and friends immediately fell silent after seeing the bride clearly.

They finally understood why Jiang Jingzhou had gotten married so suddenly.

Such a beautiful young wife, every second wasted could mean she'd be snatched away by someone else.

Before seeing the bride, they thought she was lucky to marry Jiang Jingzhou.

Upon seeing the bride, they thought Jiang Jingzhou was quite lucky.

With no one making a fuss, Jiang Jingzhou easily held his wife in his arms, feeling her weight drop again. He resolved to fatten her up when they got home.

Jiang Jingzhou carried Zhaoyue downstairs, gently set her down, handed Lin Erwu tea, and respectfully called out, "Dad."

Lin Erwu's previously composed emotions began to crumble again.

The first thing that comes to mind is what my daughter looked like when she was just born.

She was so tiny, and he had cherished her in his arms for so many years. Now she's getting married.

My heart is filled with nothing but reluctance.

I hadn't been unaware that my daughter would eventually get married; I was just feeling sad at the time.

He even thought it was pretentious when his older brother shed tears while seeing his niece get married.

Now that it was her turn, tears streamed down her face like beads falling from a broken string.

He had originally intended to say a few words, but now he couldn't even utter a complete sentence and kept wiping away tears.

"Good, good boy..."

Lin Erwu accepted the tea from his son-in-law, took a small sip, and didn't even dare to look at his daughter.

"Dad, you can rest assured to entrust Zhaoyue to me. I will definitely treat her well from now on and will never let her suffer any grievances. If any of the words I said today are false, may I be struck by lightning."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Erwu quickly stopped him, "Alright, alright, you two should live your lives well. If Zhaoyue does anything wrong, you two must communicate properly. Arguing won't solve anything, and resorting to violence is even worse!"

After saying that, Lin Erwu wiped his eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "If your conflict ever reaches an irreconcilable point, just send him back to me. Don't try to handle it yourself."

"No, Dad."

Jiang Jingzhou would never allow such a thing to happen.

Lin Zhaoyue's eyes were red, and she couldn't say a word.

The atmosphere became somber.

"It's time to go," Lin Erwu knew that he couldn't miss the auspicious time on this joyous day.

Jiang Jingzhou picked up Lin Zhaoyue again and got into the car.

Lin Erwu didn't go to see them off; he cried sadly with Xiaobao and the two of them.

...Sitting in the car, Lin Zhaoyue felt a pang of sadness. She felt the man's large hand gripping hers tightly. "Even after we're married, you can still come back to visit often,"

"My dad and the others are going to the countryside tomorrow..." I don't know when we'll see each other again.
