"Reporting to the commander, I wouldn't dare! I'm too busy doting on her to even think about it," Qin Ye replied, standing at attention, which drew laughter from everyone at the table.
When the toast was served to Li Xiumei's table, Li Xiumei took Su Tang's hand and said with bright eyes, "Tangtang, you really made us women proud today! Didn't you see how the men at this table stared wide-eyed when Commander Qin took out the bullet casings? If Commander Qin ever treats you badly again, all the sisters in our family compound will not stand for it!"
As they were talking, a simply dressed figure stood up from a table not far away, carrying a glass of wine, and walked over somewhat awkwardly.
It's Wang Cuicui.
She looked at Su Tang, her face no longer showing the harshness and jealousy of the past, only complexity and a trace of sincere apology.
“Dr. Su… Commander Qin,” she said softly, “I was wrong before, I… I wish you a happy marriage and a long and happy life together.”
After saying that, she tilted her head back and drank the wine in her glass, bowed to them, and hurriedly returned to her seat.
Su Tang watched her retreating figure and smiled slightly. She knew that ever since the incident with the stove, this woman had been completely won over.
After several rounds of drinks, the banquet reached its climax.
Some of the young soldiers started to make a fuss, shouting that they wanted to "make a ruckus in the bridal chamber".
Qin Ye saw that Su Tang had been busy all day, dealing with so many guests, and her face already showed signs of fatigue, and he felt a pang of heartache.
He raised his glass and said loudly to the whole room, "Thank you all for coming to our wedding today! Please continue eating and drinking! But my wife is tired, so I have to take her home to rest!"
After saying that, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he took Su Tang's hand amidst good-natured laughter and exclamations.
"oh--!"
"Commander, you're already showing concern for your wife!"
"Look, look! They've tied the knot!"
Amidst everyone's gaze and blessings, Qin Ye, holding the most precious treasure of his life, walked steadily, step by step, towards their courtyard, their home.
The wedding banquet ended in a lively atmosphere, and the guests left satisfied, still savoring the unforgettable meal.
Night had fallen.
The courtyard returned to tranquility.
Inside the new house, red candles burned brightly, filling the room with warmth and coziness.
Qin Ye and Su Tang finally had some time alone. After a busy day, they were both quite tired.
Qin Ye sat on the edge of the bed, watching Su Tang remove her hair ornaments, her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall. He felt his heart start beating uncontrollably again.
"Are you tired?" He walked over, gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and gently inhaled the fragrance of her hair.
"A little." Su Tang leaned against his warm chest, smelling the refreshing scent of soap and a faint hint of alcohol on him, feeling incredibly at ease. "But, I'm very happy. Qin Ye, thank you."
Thank you for giving me such a perfect wedding, thank you for giving me a home.
"Silly girl." Qin Ye tightened his arms, pulling her into his embrace, his voice low and hoarse. "I'm the one who should be saying thank you. Tangtang, I never thought I would get married, let alone marry such a wonderful wife as you."
As he spoke, he took her hand, lowered his head, and placed a burning kiss on her.
At this moment, Su Tang's heart softened completely.
She turned around, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his lips.
“Me too.” She looked into his eyes and said earnestly, “Everything I have is yours.”
Outside the window, the moon hangs high in the sky, its gentle light bathing the ground.
Inside the room, red candles flickered, creating a romantic atmosphere.
Qin Ye's breathing became heavy. He picked Su Tang up and strode towards the wedding bed covered with a bright red quilt adorned with dragons and phoenixes.
He carefully placed her on the bed, then leaned down, his dark, bright eyes burning like two flames, so intense they could melt a person.
“Tangtang,” his voice was hoarse, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor, “we are… a real couple now.”
Su Tang blushed, her long eyelashes fluttering gently like butterfly wings, and nodded.
He slowly lowered his head and gently and tenderly kissed away the tears that had fallen from the corners of her eyes with emotion, and then covered her lips with his.
This kiss was unlike any other before.
It carries a promise for the rest of one's life.
The flame of the red candle flickered slightly, casting a long, long shadow of the two figures entwined in an embrace...
That night, spring was in full bloom.
