Xi Bao lifted her eyelids to look at her mother, and answered with certainty, "No, she lowered her head because she was too happy and shy."
He knows his mother's character best, as her son, and he certainly wouldn't be mistaken.
Nannan gently patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief, "That's good, as long as Aunt Su is happy."
In Nannan's heart, Su Niannian is just as important as her mother.
As long as Su Niannian is happy, Nannan will be happy too.
As Xibao saw her parents approaching, she said to her daughter, "The bride and groom are here! Pretty ladies, get ready, it's almost time for the flower-scattering!"
"Okay!" Nannan stopped thinking about anything else and focused intently on watching the newlyweds walk towards them.
As the newlyweds approached, the two children, in a very professional manner, showered them with flowers.
Si Lijue and Su Niannian walked hand in hand down the flower-lined path to the priest. In front of everyone, they exchanged vows and rings.
Next came speeches from both sets of parents, followed by blessings from relatives and friends.
Finally, Si Li Jue gave her a kiss on the veil, and the ceremony was truly completed.
When Si's parents saw that their son had finally escaped single life and married a good wife, they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling, and their eyes were almost slits.
The couple greeted their guests with beaming smiles and instructed the servants to serve the dishes. Soon, the banquet began.
Su Niannian's parents, sitting at the head of the table, secretly wiped away tears, their faces filled with reluctance as their daughter married off.
Seeing her grandparents crying pitifully, Xibao obediently sat between them, sensibly picked up a tissue from the table, and gently wiped away their tears.
He said, "Grandpa, Grandma, today is Mom and Dad's wedding day. We should all be happy, not cry. It's bad luck!"
Father Su sniffed and agreed, "Yes, our daughter has found a good family, we should be happy and not sad."
Su's mother stroked Xibao's hair, her voice choked with emotion, "Silly child, your grandfather and I are reluctant to part with your mother. We haven't even spent a few days with her, and she's already getting married so soon." As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.
Xi Bao understood his grandmother's unspoken meaning. He took a tissue and wiped away her tears while patiently comforting her, "Grandma, Mom is enjoying life after marrying Dad, not suffering. You don't need to worry!"
Besides, wouldn't it be great to have another dad to love mom in the future?
Don't worry! I'm here, I'll protect Mom!
"I will absolutely not let her suffer any injustice, much less be bullied." He patted his chest and made a solemn promise.
With their grandson's promise, Su's parents felt a weight lifted from their shoulders.
Mother Su wiped away her tears and softly replied, "Alright, we'll leave your mother in your care. You must make sure she's not bullied."
“Yes, yes, I guarantee it with my integrity.” Xi Bao’s tone was firm, her eyes resolute.
Si Lili, sitting at the next table, overheard the conversation between the three of them and smiled as she chimed in.
"Uncle and Aunt, you know my relationship with Niannian. I stand by her side unconditionally."
Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her. My brother won't bully her.
Mr. and Mrs. Si also came over. Mrs. Si smiled and promised, "In-laws, now that Niannian has married into our Si family, you can rest assured! Our whole family will treat her well and will not let her suffer the slightest grievance."
"If that brat dares to bully Nian Nian, we will definitely not let him off easily."
"Good, good, we can rest assured now that you've said that!" Mother Su smiled through her tears.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Si Lijue, but because Si Lijue had previously forced Niannian to go abroad, she always harbored resentment towards him.
They were constantly worried that if their daughter upset him, he would bully her.
Su's father shared the same concerns as Su's mother. As Si Lijue's parents, they naturally understood their in-laws' thoughts and kept assuring them, which finally dispelled the worries of the two elderly people in the Su family.
As Si Lijue walked over, holding Su Niannian's hand, he overheard their conversation.
He wondered to himself, "Am I really that heartless and untrustworthy in their eyes? So bad that I could lay a hand on my own wife?"
He's a man of good manners and upbringing; even the most heartless man wouldn't lay a hand on his woman.
To show his loyalty and to allay his in-laws' concerns, he sincerely said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry about entrusting Niannian to me. I will treat her well for the rest of my life, pamper her like a princess, and never let her suffer the slightest grievance. I swear!"
Su's mother's emotions had stabilized, and seeing her son-in-law make such a firm promise to them, she decided to believe him this time.
So she smiled and said, "Okay! Mom believes you. Your dad and I hope you two can live a harmonious and loving life together."
"Thank you for your blessings, Mom and Dad. Li Jue and I will definitely love each other until we grow old together," Su Niannian said with a smile.
"Alright, alright, let's all start eating! The food won't taste good if it gets cold, everyone eat and drink to your heart's content!"
With a smile on her face, Mrs. Si waved her hand enthusiastically and called out loudly, "Come on, everyone, don't be shy, start eating!"
Meanwhile, Mr. Si, standing to the side, smiled broadly and nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying, "Yes, yes, we've prepared so much delicious food today, please try it all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone responded enthusiastically, and laughter filled the entire Si family home.
The atmosphere at the scene was incredibly lively and joyful.
Later, it was said that the day after Si Lijue and Su Niannian got married, the Tang family came to propose marriage to the Si family.
Si's parents were quite fond of Tang Shuo and did not make things difficult for him, agreeing to the marriage between the two families on the spot.
Si Lili and Tang Shuo held their wedding as scheduled three months later.
A year later, the couple had a daughter.
Xi Bao finally got her wish and had a little sister. When she had nothing to do, her aunt would often trick her into coming over to take care of the baby.
Gu Yichen, a staunch non-marriage advocate, also ended his long-term relationship with his girlfriend Zhang Siyu and got married six months later.
Qin Huai, that womanizer, was eventually won over by An Qian, and the two became boyfriend and girlfriend, their relationship as inseparable as ever.
As for the Shen siblings, after Si Lijue's parents politely declined her request, Shen Xinyi flew abroad overnight and settled there, never returning to China.
Her younger brother, Shen Zhe, developed his career in the country and inherited the Shen family's company.
Later, he married a woman eight years younger than him, and they lived a happy and prosperous life together.
