Chapter 2041 - 471: Wedding: I Do (Part 2)
Mu Wan and Hua Nuan were teasing Little Cubao, holding hands with Tang Bao, feeling joyful and harmonious. Attending a private island wedding was a first for them.It was even more of a first for Mr. Qin and the others, while Jian Anguo was full of praise for his son-in-law, Gu Mochen.
Not bad at all, this son-in-law of mine is truly thoughtful.
...
Jian Ran quickly followed the stylist and makeup artist to the lounge on the first floor to change into her gown.
When Jian Ran appeared in front of everyone in a snow-white wedding dress, the moment seemed to freeze into eternity. The pure, beautiful color was untouchable, seemingly fleeting with the blink of an eye. The wedding dress was flawlessly white. The lace trim and the elegant chiffon skirt were a perfect match.
Especially the woman’s slender waist, not even a handful, and her exquisite appearance firmly attracted everyone’s attention, making it impossible to look away.
She was truly a stunner, even though Jian Ran was already a mother of two.
"Wow... so beautiful."
Cheers erupted from the crowd, while Tang Bao cheerfully waved the flower basket in her hand, sprinkling petals toward Jian Ran.
"Mommy, you look so beautiful today... hehe, if you give me a little sister, then it would be even more beautiful."
Jian Ran chuckled lightly, looking at the little girl’s precocious, naughty appearance, and couldn’t help but raise a hand to stroke the little girl’s hair.
Gu Mochen deeply gazed at the woman before him, stepped forward to gently hold Jian Ran’s small hand, interlocking fingers with her, intimately.
"Today, you’re really beautiful."
She didn’t look like a mother of two at all; her delicate skin was flawless, irresistible. Gu Mochen’s lips curved into a doting smile, his dark eyes deep, like an abyss, wanting to immerse Jian Ran in them.
Jian Ran heard Gu Mochen’s words and felt a flutter in her heart.
"Sweet-talking... like honey."
"I usually just tell the truth."
After speaking, Gu Mochen leaned down to kiss the woman’s forehead, the gentle kiss on her forehead becoming an eternal scene, as everyone applauded and offered their blessings.
...
On the private island, besides the private villa that Gu Mochen personally supervised constructing for Jian Ran and the children, there was also a sprawling private beach.
On the private beach, Gu Mochen expanded a medieval-style open-air platform and paved the road with flowers, with the end of the floral path where the priest stood.
The sea breeze blew, lifting the fine sand and white petals on the beach, the scenery was even more delightful, the clear sea water lapping the shore, the sound of the waves like nature’s most melodious tune accompanying Jian Ran and Gu Mochen’s wedding.
Jian Ran looked at the exquisitely decorated, luxurious ceremony site, secretly wondering how much manpower and resources Gu Mochen had expended to achieve this on such a central island in the Malacca.
"Dad... could you please lead Ranran over, I’ll wait for you at the end."
"Okay."
Gu Mochen proactively handed Jian Ran over to Jian Anguo, who was emotionally moved, tears of excitement streaming as he held Jian Ran’s small hand.
Seeing Jian Anguo’s emotional fluctuation, Jian Ran couldn’t help but get teary-eyed.
"Dad..."
"Dad’s heart is not in pain, I’m not reluctant to marry off my daughter, but I’m really excited."
Jian Ran and the others laughed at Jian Anguo’s words, while Gu Mochen gracefully walked step by step towards the altar, turning to face Jian Ran alongside the priest.
Tang Bao, being young and inexperienced, was guided by Qin Jin to stand beside him, joining Jian Ran behind her, making it easier to sprinkle flowers for her.
Tang Bao blinked her big, watery eyes, sneaked a glance at Qin Jin, then actively reached out to hold Qin Jin’s hand.
The little girl’s hand was soft, very comfortable, and warm, Qin Jin’s eyes flickered.
"Hehe, Brother Qin Jin has to hold me, otherwise, in a crowd, I’ll get lost..."
Qin Jin: "..."
The little girl was truly mischievous.
Qin Jin, amused by the little girl’s childish words, slightly curled his lips into a smile, allowing the little girl to hold his hand without letting go, subtly tightening his grip, holding her hand more securely.
...
Under everyone’s blessings, Jian Ran linked arms with Jian Anguo, step by step towards where Gu Mochen was waiting.
Although the rose path was long... it also seemed very short.
In the past, she only watched Hua Nuan and Mu Wan hold their weddings, always wondering what women on their wedding day were thinking.
In fact, Jian Ran really had no coherent thoughts, her mind was a jumble, replaying their shared past like a movie.
Hoping to quickly be by his side...
Yet wishing it could slow down... to savor the moment a bit more.
Jian Anguo couldn’t help but be excited, he choked up as they walked.
A sacred wedding, everything became holy and inviolable.
When Jian Ran finally reached Gu Mochen holding Jian Anguo’s arm, it was apparent that the man’s dark eyes were glistening, Gu Mochen was clearly moved.
"Mo Chen... today I’m entrusting Ranran to you, in the future, please take care of her."
Jian Anguo’s eyes were filled with sincerity, as if pinning his entire life’s hopes on Gu Mochen.
Gu Mochen earnestly replied, "Dad, don’t worry."
"Good, Dad trusts you..."
Jian Anguo gently placed Jian Ran’s small hand into Gu Mochen’s, then raspily said, "Ranran... from now on, live well with Mo Chen, understand?"
"Yes, Dad, I know."
Jian Ran sniffed her eyes, unable to stop the hot tears from falling from her eyes, reaching out tender arms to hug Jian Anguo’s neck.
"Dad... thank you... and love you very much..."
"Silly girl, Daddy’s little sweetheart from a past life, what’s there to thank for, all parents’ sacrifices for their children are made willingly."
Upon hearing Jian Anguo’s words, Jian Ran was even more touched, tears continued to stream from her eye sockets, Jian Anguo gently released Jian Ran from his embrace, then raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Silly girl, already a mother of two, why are you crying...?"
Hearing Jian Anguo say this, Jian Ran sniffled, managed a faint smile, firmly nodding her head.
"Mm... who says so... even if I’m older, or Tang Bao and Cubao’s mom, I’m still your daughter... forever."
Mr. Qin and others, hearing the conversation between Jian Anguo and Jian Ran, couldn’t help but feel moved as they sat in the audience, earnestly witnessing this notable wedding.
Seeing Jian Ran’s endless tears, Jian Anguo couldn’t help but say to Gu Mochen, "Alright... Mochen, quickly take your wife away, I really don’t like seeing her cry."
"Okay... Dad, as you wish."
Gu Mochen directly raised his hand to embrace Jian Ran, soothing her emotions. Under Gu Mochen’s comfort, Jian Ran’s emotions gradually stabilized.
The priest, looking at the newlyweds before him, declared, "The wedding ceremony officially begins."
Everyone, upon hearing the priest’s words, immediately showed solemn expressions.
...
"Miss Jian Ran, are you willing to take this man as your husband and enter into marriage with him? To love him, care for him, respect him, accept him, and be faithful to him until the end of life, regardless of illness, health, or any other reason?"
With teary eyes, Jian Ran responded under the watchful eyes of the crowd, meeting Gu Mochen’s deep gaze, speaking word by word.
"I am willing, and not only in this life, but in the next life, and the life after that, I will always be willing."
Jian Ran’s words, strong and powerful, instantly ignited the atmosphere of the wedding.
