"I will not marry any other woman, not even in an act." Pei Yang could not agree to this kind of cover-up.
"That's not up to you. Do you think that just because you're the young master of the Pei family, you have no obligation to contribute anything to the family?" Old Master Pei said firmly to the woman supporting him, "Xiao Yan, go to the dressing room to prepare."
“Grandpa, don’t do such a pointless thing. I have contributed too much to the Pei family over the years. No one can dictate my marriage.” Pei Yang responded just as firmly.
"Heh, you've certainly grown wings." Old Master Pei liked this about him, yet disliked it at the same time. He was the only person in the Pei family who dared to speak to him so directly.
“I don’t want to disobey you. I have my own reservations, and I hope you will remember them and never use today’s events to make things difficult for Jia Yue again.” After Pei Yang finished speaking, he walked towards the priest and asked to postpone the event again.
Ni Sitian glanced at the time, her brows furrowed, and she looked at the Xu family members with concern.
Compared to the tension on the Pei family's side, the Xu family was quite calm.
Time passed by, and it was almost evening by now, having gone from noon.
"Aren't you really afraid that Jia Yue won't come?" Ni Sitian asked Xu Tingchuan worriedly.
“If Jia Yue can’t get over that mental hurdle, there’s nothing we can do. The one who should be worried is Pei Yang. Who told him to be so reckless back then? You reap what you sow.” Xu Tingchuan wasn’t just being sarcastic; he was speaking the truth. If he had been with so many women back then, he wouldn’t have been able to fall in love with Ni Sitian so quickly.
"How about I go find Jia Yue? If this drags on any longer, the media won't be able to handle it." Ni Sitian wasn't as calm as Xu Tingchuan.
Xu Tingchuan took her hand and said, "She has to get over this hurdle in her heart herself. It's not appropriate for anyone to push her at this time."
That makes sense, but...
"The bride is here! The bride is here!" Suddenly, a commotion arose from the guests.
Xu Tingchuan and Ni Sitian both looked in that direction and saw Xu Jiayue, dressed in a wedding gown, walking through the flower archway.
"The bride is so beautiful!" "The wedding dress is so gorgeous!" Exclamations of amazement rang out continuously.
Pei Yang looked at Xu Jiayue; in the afterglow of the setting sun, she was as beautiful as if she had stepped gracefully down from a painting.
The golden sunlight shone on the diamonds on the wedding dress, making them sparkle and shine.
Xu Haicheng walked to Xu Jiayue's side and asked earnestly and lovingly, "Jiayue, have you really thought this through?"
Xu Jiayue did not answer, but took Xu Haicheng's arm and stepped onto the red carpet.
The red carpet stretched all the way into the church. She showed no signs of a joyful bride as she walked step by step toward Pei Yang.
Pei Yang knew that his methods of forcing her were despicable, but if she didn't have feelings for him, she wouldn't have come at this moment.
Her arrival signifies that she cares about him and cannot bear to see him face public criticism.
He watched her approach little by little, feeling as happy as if thousands of pigeons had been released.
“Jiayue.” He saw her standing in front of him, his fingers trembling slightly with excitement.
Xu Jiayue looked at him indifferently.
The priest began the wedding ceremony, and the couple exchanged vows and rings.
When the groom was allowed to kiss his mother, Pei Yang happily embraced her and kissed her lips.
She turned her head slightly away, and his kiss ultimately landed only on the corner of her lips.
His pleasure gradually faded, and she came, but she did not forgive him.
