They were all important people in her life.
Rong Shenghan was the person she chose to spend her life with.
"I do."
Those three simple words, carrying all her sincerity and determination, echoed in the air at the mountaintop.
When exchanging rings, Rong Shenghan took Yu Jiuyuan's hand and carefully slipped the diamond ring onto her ring finger.
His movements were gentle and solemn, as if he were handling the most precious treasure in the world.
“Yu Jiuyuan,” he looked into her eyes, his voice trembling slightly, “From this day forward, you are my wife, the only love of my life, Rong Shenghan. I will dedicate my life to protecting you, cherishing you, and ensuring you live in happiness forever.”
Yu Jiuyuan also put a ring on Rong Shenghan's finger, her fingertips gently stroking the back of his hand, and softly replied, "Rong Shenghan, me too."
It has no fancy words, yet it speaks volumes.
After the ceremony, guests came forward to offer their blessings.
Xie Zhecheng was the first to walk up to them, a gentle smile on his face, and handed Yu Jiuyuan an exquisite box: "Xiaoyuan, congratulations. This is a wedding gift I prepared for you. I hope you like it."
Yu Jiuyuan took the box, opened it, and saw a pair of custom-made pearl earrings inside, the round pearls gleaming with a soft luster.
"Thank you, Zhe." She looked up and smiled at him, her eyes full of gratitude. "Thank you for taking care of me all this time."
"It's enough to see you happy." Xie Zhecheng's voice was still gentle, but the melancholy in his eyes was even deeper.
He looked at Rong Shenghan and extended his hand: "Rong Shenghan, treat her well, or I won't let you off the hook."
Rong Shenghan grasped his hand and nodded firmly: "Don't worry, I will."
Yuan Xu stepped forward and handed the gift box to Yu Jiuyuan: "Xiao Yuan, this is a drawing of your wedding photos. I hope you like it."
Inside the gift box is an oil painting depicting them embracing in a lavender field. The brushstrokes are delicate, the colors are soft, and the scene is perfectly recreated.
"May you and Mr. Rong be as happy as in the painting forever."
"Thank you, Yuan Xu." Yu Jiuyuan's eyes were slightly red as she gently hugged him. "I will cherish your painting."
Lin Yanran walked up to them and handed them a black velvet box containing a custom-made watch with their initials engraved on the dial.
"Happy marriage." His voice was still deep, his face expressionless, but the sincerity in his eyes could not be concealed. "If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me anytime."
"Thank you, Yanran." Yu Jiuyuan took the box and said earnestly, "I also wish you to find your own happiness soon."
Lin Yanran didn't say anything more and silently turned away to the side.
He knew that from this day forward, he could only protect her from afar as a friend.
But he doesn't regret it. Meeting her and loving her was the greatest luck of his life.
As evening fell, the guests gradually dispersed, and the hilltop estate returned to tranquility.
Yu Jiuyuan and Rong Shenghan sat on the rattan chairs on the terrace, watching the sunset slowly sink into the snow-capped peaks, after which the sky was dyed a brilliant orange-red.
"What are you thinking about?" Rong Shenghan held her hand, his fingertips gently stroking the ring on her ring finger.
“I’m thinking, I’m really happy today.” Yu Jiuyuan leaned on his shoulder, her voice soft. “A Zhe, Yuan Xu, Yan Ran, they’re all here, and they’ve all given us their blessings.”
"Mmm." Rong Shenghan responded, lowering his head to plant a kiss on the top of her head. "They are all people who are genuinely good to you. From now on, we will treat them well too."
Yu Jiuyuan looked up at him, a mischievous glint in her eyes: "Won't you be jealous?"
Rong Shenghan chuckled and pinched her cheek: "Jealousy is inevitable, but I'm even more grateful that you're loved by so many people. However,"
He changed the subject, his eyes becoming serious, "You can only be my wife, in this life, in the next life, and forever."
"Okay." Yu Jiuyuan nodded with a smile and took the initiative to kiss his lips.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, casting long shadows.
The distant snow-capped peaks, the nearby lavender fields, and each other together create the most beautiful scene.
The system's voice sounded in her mind again: [Host Yu Jiuyuan, the conquest mission is successfully completed. The "Eternal Happiness" buff has taken effect. May the host and Mr. Rong Shenghan be together for all eternity, year after year, in peace, joy, and never be apart.]
Yu Jiuyuan did not respond, but simply held Rong Shenghan tightly.
She knew this was not the end, but a new beginning.
Night deepened, and stars twinkled. Rong Shenghan picked up Yu Jiuyuan and carried her into the bedroom.
The bedroom window was open, and the evening breeze, carrying the scent of flowers, wafted in, stirring the white gauze curtains.
He gently placed her on the soft bed, leaned down and gazed into her eyes, his voice low and tender: "Goodnight, my bride."
"Goodnight, my husband." Yu Jiuyuan smiled and closed her eyes, feeling his kisses on her forehead, nose, and lips.
Life is long, and having you by my side makes it the best time of my life.
With the marriage certificate on the mountaintop as our witness, for the rest of my life, through wind and snow, through ordinary days, through poverty, through glory, through tenderness in my heart, and wherever my eyes fall, it is you.
