"Dad..." Lin Yang looked at her father, whose eyes were filled with tears, and was so moved by his emotions that her voice was tinged with a faint sob.
Lin Zhengguo secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, muttering repeatedly, "Don't miss the auspicious time, don't miss the auspicious time..."
After all, she was the daughter he had raised for so many years. He didn't care on the surface, but secretly regarded her as the apple of his eye. Now that she was getting married, how could he bear to part with her?
Lin Yang glanced furtively at the relatives and friends' seats and saw the decisive Ms. Song covering her face and sobbing uncontrollably.
"I'm really entrusting my daughter to you." Lin Zhengguo gently took Lin Yang's hand.
His calloused, broad palm covered Lin Yang's delicate palm, trembling slightly, getting closer and closer to Xu Chengzhi's outstretched hand.
"Don't worry, I will." Xu Chengzhi took Lin Yang's hand, his tone very firm.
Holding Lin Yang's hand, the two walked onto the stage together under the watchful eyes of the audience, with the emcee holding a program card in his hand.
"Mr. Xu, do you take Ms. Lin to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, to care for, to cherish, to be with, for the rest of your life, until death do you part?" Having been an emcee for many years, he knew these lines by heart.
"I do." Xu Chengzhi's eyes never left Lin Yang, and his answer was straightforward.
After receiving the groom's answer, the emcee turned his gaze to Lin Yang, "Ms. Lin, do you take Mr. Xu, who is holding your hand, to be your husband from this moment on, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?"
These were words Lin Yang had only heard in television scripts; she had never actually heard them said to her.
Even though everyone in the audience, including Xu Chengzhi on stage, knew the final answer would be those three words, they couldn't help but eagerly await her personal reply.
Those three words could mean "I don't want to," or "I do want to."
Reason told Lin Yang that she preferred the former, but the current situation and the task she had to complete, coupled with her wavering and uncertain heart, made her hesitate.
Finally, she slowly closed her eyes, listened to her heart, and softly uttered those three words, "I do."
"Wow—" A cheer erupted from the audience, followed by a round of applause and blessings.
These sounds drowned out the pounding of Lin Yang's heart.
Her heart was pounding unusually hard, for reasons she couldn't explain.
"Yangyang," Xu Chengzhi called to her, kneeling down on one knee.
He pulled an exquisitely packaged diamond ring box from his pants pocket, splitting it open to reveal the custom-made diamond ring inside.
The surface of the diamond ring is smooth, with a large and dazzling diamond set in the center.
Its shape is unique, unlike the usual diamond which has sharp edges and corners.
It was specially commissioned by Xu Chengzhi and polished by a top-notch team that spent many days carving a pure natural diamond into the shape of the letter L.
It is perfectly inlaid on top, attracting people to take a second look.
It is both significant and unique, and there is only one of its kind in the world.
It's as if Xu Chengzhi's love for Lin Yang is the only one in the world.
"Yangyang, I love you." Xu Chengzhi took out a diamond ring and confessed his love to her from the bottom of his heart.
As she spoke, she slipped the diamond ring onto Lin Yang's ring finger.
The size was just right; with a gentle slide, the diamond ring slipped onto her finger, neither too high nor too low.
"Kiss! Kiss!!" The crowd below the stage cheered again.
Xu Chengzhi stood up amidst the commotion and leaned closer to Lin Yang.
Searching for the part that everyone is looking forward to.
Lin Yang froze, not knowing why she didn't dodge.
