Seeing Li Hanting walk in, everyone tactfully stepped aside.
The man, holding a bouquet of flowers, walked step by step toward the woman sitting by the bed, as if she were the only one in his eyes.
He stopped in front of her, bent down, a smile spreading across his lips, and extended a hand to her: "Wife, I've come to pick you up."
Su Jingjing blushed and placed her hand in his palm, but he immediately clasped her hands tightly in return.
Li Hanting was usually a man who could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, but today he stared intently at his beautiful wife in her pure white wedding dress. She had a beautiful face, and with just a little makeup, she was as beautiful as a fairy descended from heaven. In particular, her big, watery eyes were like a clear spring, gentle and charming, which made him fall in love with her.
He became so engrossed in watching it that he couldn't tear himself away.
Everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh when they saw the groom looking like a lovesick fool.
Su Jingjing blushed and quickly tugged at his hand, pouting, "What are you thinking about?"
Li Hanting then snapped out of his daze and said, "Wife, wait a minute."
He then stood up and looked at his parents, saying solemnly, "Mom and Dad, thank you. Don't worry, I will cherish Jingjing and never let her suffer any injustice." He then bowed respectfully to them.
Yan Ling beamed with joy, her smile almost reaching the back of her head, repeatedly saying, "Okay, okay, we believe you." Clearly, she was extremely satisfied with her son-in-law.
On the other side, Su Xiang stood with his hands behind his back, glancing sideways at his imposing son-in-law with a slightly scrutinizing look, his expression more serious than before.
He had seen countless people in his life. On the very first day Li Hanting arrived at Su Family Village, he could tell that he was a dragon among men, not like ordinary people like them. But his daughter had taken a liking to him, which put him in a difficult and distressing position as a father.
So when his daughter got married for the first time, the father and daughter had a conflict. For four years, the two of them hardly spoke to each other. Even so, he knew that his son-in-law was very cold to her and did not give her the love of a wife at all. He was both angry and heartbroken.
Everyone immediately sensed that something was amiss and fell silent, plunging the entire room into a profound stillness.
Li Hanting keenly noticed his father-in-law's change in attitude and immediately lowered his stance, saying sincerely, "Dad, if you have anything on your mind, please speak frankly. I will definitely try my best to do my best."
Su Xiang frowned slightly and said in a slightly lower voice, "Han Ting, some unpleasant things happened when you got married for the first time. The situation was complicated at the time, and I couldn't say much about it. But this time is different. Jingjing has been spoiled by me and her mother since she was a child. I hope that from now on, you can continue to spoil her. If she does anything wrong, you can tell Dad, and Dad will educate her."
Everyone present was deeply moved.
Su Jingjing sniffed, her eyes slightly red. Li Hanting sensed her emotions and gently squeezed her palm, silently comforting her.
Looking at Su Xiang with unwavering eyes, she said, "Dad, I will cherish and love her for the rest of my life."
An'an stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, and me too. Dad always says that Mom and my sister are the little princesses of the family, and we, father and son, will protect them from the wind and rain for the rest of our lives."
Waaah... This is so touching, some people even shed tears.
Su Xiang placed his hand on An An's small shoulder, his face full of relief.
"Grandpa believes in you."
Gu Shaokai quickly spoke up to lighten the mood, "Groom, hurry up and carry the bride to the car, don't miss the auspicious time."
"Whoa whoa whoa..." The people in the room immediately started to cheer.
Li Hanting snapped out of his daze, bent down and hugged her, their bodies pressed together, warming each other.
"Wife, thank you for marrying me." Li Hanting kissed her cheek.
Su Jingjing looked into his eyes, and at this moment she stopped being coy. She mustered her courage, climbed onto his neck, and quietly leaned against his chest.
Several cars were already waiting outside. Li Hanting carried the person directly to the wedding car in the middle, and then everyone else got into the other cars.
This time, the entire Su family went along. Their customs are simpler, and the whole family wanted to witness their daughter's happy moment.
As the firecrackers went off, the car slowly started moving and drove forward in an orderly manner.
The Li family had been waiting at the old house for a long time, and relatives and friends from both sides entered one after another.
The wedding was a grand affair, given the Li family's current status; both military and political forces wanted to curry favor with them.
Soon, the wedding car drove into the old house, and the scene immediately fell silent as everyone craned their necks to catch a glimpse of the bride's beauty.
Most of the people present had a question: why did the second young master of the Li family have to hold another wedding? Wasn't that troublesome?
Some say it's to make up for the regret of their first time together.
"They're here, they're here."
Chen Shufang wore a rose-red cheongsam, a pearl necklace, and a simple yet elegant headdress, looking graceful and dignified.
At this moment, she walked excitedly to the front row with a big smile on her face.
Seeing her attitude, everyone immediately understood Su Jingjing's place in her heart.
Li Hanting helped Su Jingjing out of the car. Facing the stares of the crowd, he still had a blank expression. But poor Su Jingjing was stunned when she saw the packed seats. She had never expected such a big scene.
Chen Shufang exchanged a few pleasantries with Li Yuan and his in-laws before turning her attention to Su Jingjing.
"Jingjing, you look beautiful today."
Su Jingjing greeted her parents-in-law quietly, "Mom and Dad."
The elderly couple responded crisply.
Chen Shufang winked at her son.
"Wife, take my hand." Li Hanting stretched out his arm, and Su Jingjing stretched out her slender hand to take his. Then, amidst everyone's blessings, the two slowly walked in.
At this moment, An'an, Yuanyuan, Xiao Chengjin, and Xiao Guodong took on the role of flower girls, excitedly throwing rose petals onto the hem of the wedding dress.
The guests were all shocked and full of praise; no one thought they were mismatched.
As the head of the family, Li Yuan took the stage to deliver a speech.
With everyone as witnesses, Li Hanting made a promise to Su Jingjing, moving all the girls present to tears, including Su Jingjing.
The meal was soon served, and everyone happily began to eat.
When his wife started crying, Li Hanting quickly carried her back to the room and comforted her; everyone was already used to it.
"My dear wife, don't cry, it hurts your heart."
Su Jingjing was stunned by his address, blinking her tear-filled eyes, "You, how could you..."
This was the first time she'd heard him call her "wife."
Do you like this nickname?
Li Hanting reached out and wiped away her tears, then leaned down and kissed her passionately.
She was startled by his sudden movement, and pushed against his chest symbolically a couple of times before quickly giving in, leaning against him and panting with her red lips parted.
Her hand caressed his muscles, almost igniting a fire.
Li Hanting had been suppressing his desire for several days, so he wasn't in a hurry. The wedding night would be the time for him to unleash his full power.
