Three years later.

Liu Ruxuan wore a white dress adorned with subtle rhinestones, looking gentle, charming, and very ladylike.

She grinned mischievously and moved closer to Xia Shizhao, shattering her composure with her words: "Wow~ Zhaozhao is so pretty!"

Gu Ke emerged from behind her, holding a bag, and looked at Xia Shizhao, who was dressed up exquisitely and sitting quietly at the dressing table being groomed. A hint of amazement flashed in her eyes.

"You look great even without dressing up, but you're absolutely stunning when you do, honey."

Xia Shizhao looked at himself in the mirror and smiled faintly, "Enjoy it while you can. I don't usually put so much stuff on my face."

She was dragged out of bed early in the morning by her mother and the others to get ready, with her hair and makeup done, which was quite a hassle for her.

You know, she usually just washes her face and goes out.

"Hehe, our Zhaozhao is naturally beautiful, I like her too. If it weren't for the fact that I can't beat General Ye, hehe." Liu Ruxuan slightly lifted her chin with her index finger.

Xia Shizhao chuckled and slapped her hand away: "Don't move around, or you'll get beaten up again if she finds out."

"Where is Ye Qiuling?"

“She’s at her home.” Xia Shizhao chuckled softly after saying that.

Ye Qiuling was kicked out a week early. Every night, she would sneak over to her like a thief, and then quietly run back home shortly after dawn.

It must have been tough on her.

"I thought she would sneak over to see you, after all..."

Everyone in the room turned to look out the window.

Liu Ruxuan pointed at Ye Qiuling climbing through the window and smiled at Gu Ke, saying, "See? I told you, she would definitely come and treat me to dinner!"

"no problem."

Ye Qiuling coughed lightly, somewhat surprised by the large number of people in the room. She calmly walked from the window to Xia Shizhao's side, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Xia Shizhao: "You look so beautiful today."

"Am I not pretty normally?"

Looking at Ye Qiuling in her pristine white suit, Xia Shizhao narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly displeased, but his tone was like that of someone being coquettish.

You are beautiful at all times.

Realizing she had said the wrong thing, Ye Qiuling blinked and stared at her like a lovesick fool.

Seeing her silly look, Xia Shizhao chuckled and stopped teasing her. "They might try to get you to drink more later, so drink less."

Ye Qiuling nodded and stared at her with a silly grin, nodding vigorously like a husky, "Okay."

Silly and foolish.

"Then hurry back, Fu Ziran and the others called, see you later." Xia Shizhao pushed Ye Qiuling, who was sticking to her side, and urged her.

Ye Qiuling was reluctant to leave, glancing back at her every few steps.

Liu Ruxuan, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and pushed her away:

"Oh dear, you two can stick together all the time after the wedding and no one will say anything. Stop being so lovey-dovey and consider us instead."

In recent years, Liu Ruxuan has become a frequent visitor to Xia Shizhao's house, and she has become much bolder in her dealings with Ye Qiuling than at the beginning, showing no politeness towards Ye Qiuling.

Reluctantly, Ye Qiuling jumped out of the window and returned the way she came.

Gu Ke's mouth gaped slightly as she asked in confusion, "Why don't we use the main gate?"

Xia Shizhao rubbed his forehead.

This person is used to walking through windows.

"Hmm... I guess I'm used to it."

"Aunt Mu and the others usually don't allow people to stay overnight without a name or status, looks like someone's been doing this quite a bit~"

"Yes, I let you have it," Xia Shizhao replied with a smile.

"Huh, it's been three years, why is there still a sour smell of being in love?"

Liu Ruxuan leaned on Gu Ke's shoulder and sighed, "Do you know how I've gotten through these years?"

“I think I should know,” Gu Ke said, chuckling as she nudged Liu Ruxuan, “Stand up straight, your subordinates will lose all composure when they see you.”

"Oh well, they already know what kind of person I am, so what?"

Liu Ruxuan waved her hand; the group was bickering and joking around.

Then he was taken away by the stylist and makeup artist that Mu Tong brought.

She said:

"Today is Zhaozhao and Xiaoye's wedding, you both need to look your best."

Xia Shizhao finished getting ready and rested his chin on his hand, watching them sit there while someone beat the drum.

"Ruxuan, don't blink so much. I can't even draw your eyeliner properly."

"Xiao Ke, don't smile like that, you've smudged all your lipstick off."

"Chief Xia, stop making them laugh!" the makeup artist said helplessly to Xia Shizhao.

Xia Shizhao, having had his fill of teasing, shrugged. "Okay."

Fitness, sporting a bow in her hair, came in from outside: "Master, am I cute?!"

"So cute!"

"I think I'm super cute too!"

Xia Shizhao chuckled and tapped its display screen.

"Zhaozhao, let's go down! General Ye and the others are here!"

"They're here!"

…………

Sunlight streamed through the stained glass windows, casting a dazzling array of colors that gently bathed the flower-strewn aisle, as if paving a dreamlike path to happiness for the newlyweds.

Xia Shizhao wore a pure white wedding dress, the hem of which swayed with every step she took.

Holding a bouquet of beautiful flowers, she walked gracefully towards Ye Qiuling, who was waiting in the hall.

A smile appeared in her eyes, and shallow dimples appeared on her face. Her skirt swayed gently with her steps, like a butterfly dancing in the air.

Ye Qiuling's eyes were full of anticipation and joy as she waited for her to get closer.

She stood before the altar, her posture upright, her gaze fixed on Xia Shizhao, her eyes only on the figure that kept walking towards her.

Her eyes were filled with love and tenderness, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, unable to hide the joy in her heart.

When Xia Shizhao walked to her side, Ye Qiuling naturally took her hand, their fingers intertwined.

The pastor solemnly recited the vows, and the newlyweds gazed at each other, their eyes only on one another. Ye Qiuling and Xia Shizhao recited their vows at the same time, their tone very solemn and serious, as if they were both making sure to remember the declaration of this day.

Fitness and Ball, two little robots, slowly approached their owner with ring boxes, looking proud and confident.

Ye Qiuling's fingertips trembled slightly as she picked up the ring and reverently put it on Xia Shizhao's finger, gently placing a kiss on the back of her hand.

Xia Shizhao looked at her with a smile, picked up the ring, and carefully held her hand.

The room fell silent at the moment the rings were exchanged, as the people they cared about witnessed this beautiful moment together.

They witnessed their love.

"Waaah, my daughter is getting married." Mu Tong leaned against Yu Shu's chest, wiping away tears with a handkerchief, feeling a little reluctant to let her go.

"Why are you crying? Ye Qiuling came to our door." Yu Shu looked at the two people on the stage with a question mark on her head.

Kōdō paused, realizing what was happening.

"Oh, right, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Yes, it's my fault, it's my fault~"
