The Finale (Part 2)
Upon seeing the face he had longed for, Gao Yu was immediately overwhelmed with emotion and rushed forward to embrace her.
"Sister...it's been four years, and I've finally seen you again..."
She started crying like a child.
Xue Mubai walked over and pulled Ye Wanqing into his arms. "She's my wife. Please show some respect."
Gao Yu shook his head in disbelief, his handsome and deep eyes looking at her. "Sister, who is he?"
Ye Wanqing then realized what was happening and immediately smiled as she took Xue Mubai's arm. "Gao Yu, he is my husband. We've already registered our marriage, and we'll be having our wedding soon."
"What?" Gao Yu staggered a few steps, almost falling. He shook his head, his eyes shining. "Sister, why didn't you wait for me... just like four years ago, when you clearly liked me but didn't tell me to stay?"
"It was you who wanted to leave in the first place. If you really didn't want to leave, would I have needed to say anything? Saying that you would stay just because I told you to is probably not up to you. Since that's the case, why don't I go with the flow? If the wind decides to leave, how can the leaves stop it?" Ye Wanqing said bluntly.
“I…” Gao Yu was speechless.
Yes, given the situation back then, even if he didn't want to leave, he probably couldn't have gone against his father. He only has himself to blame for not being resolute enough.
But he was still unwilling to give up and continued, "Sister, you rejected me four years ago because you thought I was too young, but I've grown up now. I'm capable of protecting you."
“Gao Yu, I made it clear to you four years ago. I said I didn’t like you, and it had nothing to do with your age. Why should I wait for you? What would you be waiting for me for?” Ye Wanqing smiled. “Gao Yu, you’ve grown up, but you’re still so childish. Since that’s the case, I’ll teach you again. Not everyone will wait for you in the same place. What’s missed is missed. Now I’ve found someone suitable for me. Gao Yu, I also hope you’ll be happy.”
Xue Mubai, who was standing to the side, also understood the reason behind it.
He can only blame his wife for being too outstanding; too many people liked her back then.
Gao Yu looked at her with a disappointed expression, his eyes filled with sadness. "Sister, if time could turn back, I would rather spend my whole life in this villa as your bodyguard."
"Unfortunately, time cannot be turned back; we must look forward." After saying this, Ye Wanqing added, "Since you're here, why don't you come in, sit down, and have a meal before you leave?"
"No, sister, now that my wish has been fulfilled, I'm leaving. Take care."
Gao Yu did not linger, but left alone.
Regardless, I've finally let go of my worries.
My sister is right, some things, once missed, are gone forever...
Perhaps his waiting was just an obsession...
Xue Mubai watched his retreating figure and sighed, "Wife, weren't you going too far with what you just said? After all, they came all this way."
Ye Wanqing rolled her eyes at him. "What, you're starting to sympathize? Should I call him back?"
"No, no, honey, I was just joking."
After saying that, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, rested his head on her shoulder, and said gently, "Wife, you're so good. So many excellent men like you, but you chose me. I'm so happy. Wife, thank you for choosing me."
Ye Wanqing felt his hot breath on her neck, and her whole body felt itchy. "Ugh, it's so itchy."
"There's something even more annoying, do you want it?"
After saying that, Xue Mubai picked her up and carried her towards the bedroom...
...
Meanwhile, in another parallel universe...
The interstellar apocalypse ten thousand years from now.
On this day, Ye Wanqing's several beast husbands received divorce decrees issued by the interstellar court.
"You are free. Ye Wanqing has submitted a divorce application to our interstellar court through the time-space travel system. You are completely free," the judge from the interstellar court announced.
The men exchanged bewildered glances. They had so desperately wanted a divorce before, but Ye Wanqing had vehemently refused. Yet this time, she had agreed.
What exactly did she experience in the 1980s...?
They actually agreed to the divorce.
Ye Yan was also shocked. He hadn't expected that his strike hadn't killed Ye Wanqing.
Fortunately, there was a positive outcome: she agreed to a divorce.
"Will Ye Wanqing come back?" Que Ze asked.
"Ye Wanqing stayed in the 1980s and won't come back. She has applied for permanent residency in the 1980s with the Time and Space Administration and will not travel back."
"What? They're not coming back? They're actually willing to stay in the harsh conditions of the 1980s..." Lou Jingzhi was somewhat surprised.
"Yeah, has this guy changed his ways?" Mo Leng frowned as well.
The men were all shocked. This wasn't like Ye Wanqing at all. How could someone as idle, lazy, and vain as her be willing to stay in the harsh conditions of the 1980s?
Only Ye Yan knew what had really happened. He said casually, "She was having a great time there. She was surrounded by handsome men. She was very carefree. She fell in love with every one of them she saw."
"As expected, I knew she was promiscuous. Now we've finally gotten rid of her. Shouldn't we celebrate?"
Only Fei Yan fell into deep thought. After all, Ye Wanqing had treated him quite well in the past, and he was quite reluctant to hear that their marriage was dissolved.
Feiyan murmured to herself, "Do you think she might have met her true love there, which is why she's not coming back?"
"True love? Ha! How could that be? If she knew what love was, even the Leifeng Pagoda would collapse." Ye Yan simply wouldn't believe it.
At this moment, the judge of the Interstellar Court said, "Ye Yan, you traveled to the 1980s without the approval of the Time and Space Administration and even attempted to commit murder, causing Xiao Heng from the original timeline to be imprisoned. You have altered the cause and effect of others. Now I declare you arrested for the crime of disrupting time and space."
The other men exchanged bewildered glances, unable to believe that Ye Yan, the First Beast Husband, had made such a grave mistake.
"Ye Yan, really? You secretly went to the 1980s too?" Mo Leng asked.
"You got into trouble back in the 1980s?" Lou Jingzhi's eyes widened.
"At the time, I was mainly unwilling to let Ye Wanqing go like this... I wanted to kill her, so I followed her to take revenge..." Ye Yan slumped to the ground, never expecting that his cleverness would backfire.
Not only did he not kill Ye Wanqing, but by a twist of fate, he helped her find true love, and in turn, he was implicated.
He was filled with regret, but it was too late... In the future, he would become a male burdened with guilt... and be scorned by the entire galaxy...
Soon, two interstellar police officers arrived and arrested Nightflame.
The other men couldn't help but sigh.
"Ye Yan really put himself in the game, and in return, he gave us our freedom."
"Ye Yan is a real man, no matter what."
"What a pity. From now on, he'll be a criminal... his life is over."
...
Three days later, the Xue mansion was brightly decorated. In front of the most luxurious International Hotel in Shanghai, the four large characters "A Hundred Years of Harmony" were spelled out with fresh flowers.
A limousine slowly drove past the fountain square, a red ribbon tied to the rearview mirror. Xue Mubai carried Ye Wanqing out of the wedding car.
Two rows of doormen in crisp uniforms simultaneously opened the gilded, carved gate.
Inside the banquet hall, thirty crystal chandeliers illuminated the dome as if it were daytime, and giant flower columns made of thousands of silk roses stood on either side of the central stage.
The bride, Ye Wanqing, wore a satin wedding dress, adorned with jewelry, and her veil was studded with crystals; she looked like a fairy. The groom, Xue Mubai, wore a suit; his tall and slender figure was elegant and charming. They walked hand in hand, receiving blessings from the guests.
This was the most extravagant wedding ever held in Shanghai, and it made the front page of the Shanghai Daily that very day…
As night fell, fireworks lit up the garden of the Xue mansion.
Xue Mubai stood in the courtyard with Ye Wanqing in his arms, watching the colorful fireworks bloom in the night sky.
"Wanqing, look how beautiful the night view is."
"Yes, it's so beautiful."
"Wanqing, I love you, for all eternity."
Xue Mubai gazed at her tenderly, his deep and handsome eyes fixed on her. He slowly leaned down and kissed her lips. Ye Wanqing closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck, responding to his kiss.
The two kissed, set against the backdrop of fireworks and the night view, creating a beautiful picture.
