Chapter 70: Wedding

This confession was captured on television and became eternal.

Rumors and gossip within the entertainment industry about Jiang Xiao being a “poor mother with a noble son” were instantly dispelled.

After the broadcast of “The Most Beautiful Manager,” Zhou Xiulin’s confession was edited into a segment, and it became known among netizens as “Daily Dog Abuse of the Handsome Couple.”

In the last few days of September, Zhou Simu was in a very, very happy mood. He told some of his teachers in class, “My mom and dad are getting married.”

The teachers looked puzzled, not quite understanding.

At the same time, Zhou Simu was educating his classmates about his parents’ wedding.

“Have any of you attended your parents’ wedding before?”

The other kids shook their heads.

However, Zhou Xiulin and Jiang Xiao weren’t superstitious about these things. They believed that as long as they could be with their loved ones and family in peace and happiness, every day was a good day.

On October 4th, Lin Wu flew from City B to Jincheng. Jiang Xiao hadn’t initially planned to bring Zhou Simu to pick her up, but the little rascal overheard her conversation with Zhou Xiulin. Upon hearing that Aunt Lin Wu was coming, he insisted on going with them.

Well, if he wanted to, why not? Before setting off, the little guy insisted on wearing his tiny suit.

Jiang Xiao asked, “Is that suit meant to be worn on the wedding day?!”

Zhou Simu replied, “I’ll put it on and let Aunt Lin take a look.”

Jiang Xiao stared at him directly, thinking “A mother knows her son best.”

Zhou Simu turned around and said, “Mom, I won’t wear this outfit. Let’s pick a different one.”

Jiang Xiao smiled and said, “Sure, you can choose one yourself.”

Zhou Simu’s eyes lit up, and he picked a three-piece set given to him by Zhou Yanyan – a white short-sleeved shirt, gray plaid shorts, and a little vest. It was quite a grand choice!

“Mom, what about a tie?”

Jiang Xiao cursed andthought, “Do you think you’re going to meet a girlfriend or something?”

After changing into the new outfit, Jiang Xiao took a picture of him with a little frog emoji covering his face, and she posted it online.

【Going to pick up my good sister, Little Bean Sprout insisted on wearing this outfit. I really want to tell him, my good sister has admirers, you don’t stand a chance.】

CoolCool: Requesting to see a front view of Little Bean Sprout!

Everyday’s Fangirl: Little Bean Sprout has grown up, hahaha.

I’m Here, Where Are You: Jiang Jie, please let Little Bean Sprout make a debut! The aunties will definitely support!

…

Due to their busy schedules in recent years, Jiang Xiao and Lin Wu had not had many chances to meet. However, time and distance had not changed their relationship.

Lin Wu wheeled her suitcase and walked out with the crowd. She was wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, sneakers – a simple and casual outfit.

Even so, her face was hard to ignore in the crowd.

“Auntie, Auntie!” Zhou Simu shouted loudly.

Lin Wu’s initially reserved expression instantly changed. A smile lit up her face from the corners of her mouth to her eyes, as if flowers had suddenly bloomed in a valley. She quickened her pace and walked over to them. “Little Bean Sprout!” Her voice was sweet and pleasant.

“Auntie, I missed you so much,” Zhou Simu said, gazing at Lin Wu without blinking.

Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but interject, “Zhou Simu, you shouldn’t stare at beautiful women like that.”

Lin Wu opened her arms and embraced Zhou Simu. “The last time I saw him was during the New Year, which was about eight or nine months ago. Little Bean Sprout has grown a lot.”

Jiang Xiao looked at him and remarked, “Children change every day, but you really haven’t changed at all.”

Lin Wu smiled faintly. “Little Bean Sprout is starting to look more and more like Zhou Xiulin.”

Jiang Xiao said, “He originally wanted to come and pick you up, but he had some business to attend to, so we came to the hotel first. The wedding attire is all in the room.”

Lin Wu nodded, saying, “It’s not a problem.”

Jiang Xiao paused for a moment and asked casually, “Isn’t Qin Heng here with you?”

Lin Wu replied, “He called me and said he would come tomorrow evening.”

Jiang Xiao gave her a knowing look, to which Lin Wu responded with a glance of understanding.

Little Bean Sprout glanced at his mother. “Mom, do you have a headache?”

Jiang Xiao replied, “…”

They arrived at the hotel, where Lin Wu quickly unpacked her luggage. The three of them went down to the hotel’s restaurant to have lunch together.

Lin Wu and Jiang Xiao shared the same habit of eating quickly. However, during this meal, it was clear that Jiang Xiao only ate until she was about 50% full.

Lin Wu asked, “Are you trying to lose weight?”

Jiang Xiao shook her head and replied, “I don’t want to be too heavy. I’ll endure it just for the wedding.”

Lin Wu smiled and said, “But you’re already so slim!”

Little Bean Sprout wiped his mouth with a napkin and chimed in, “It’s because my mom is afraid she’ll be too heavy for my dad to carry.”

Lin Wu tousled his small head and asked, “Is there anything else you’d like to eat?”

Little Bean Sprout pointed to the plate and said, “I like to eat meat, but there’s one piece left. You can have it, Auntie.”

Lin Wu’s heart melted at his sweet gesture.

As lunch was coming to an end, Zhou Xiulin hurried over.

Lin Wu stood up and greeted him, “Long time no see.” Even though she never paid much attention to a person’s appearance, every time she saw Zhou Xiulin, she couldn’t help but be slightly amazed. The best description that came to her mind was probably “handsome and tall,” a very warm man. And his warmth probably came from his wife and son beside him at this moment.

Zhou Xiulin reached out his hand and said, “Sorry, I’m late.” His warmth and thoughtfulness were evident, and Lin Wu noticed it. Thanks to his relationship with Jiang Xiao, Zhou Xiulin regarded Lin Wu as a family member.

Zhou Xiulin also held a great deal of respect for her.

“Dad,” Little Bean Sprout sought his attention.

Zhou Xiulin looked at his son and asked, “Why are you dressed like this today?”

Jiang Xiao smiled and didn’t say anything.

On October 6th, under a clear sky with pleasant temperatures, the wedding was held at the Yijing Mountain Resort. The lush green lawns, pastel-colored flowers in full bloom, and the gentle breeze created a magnificent and picturesque setting.

Guests arrived as scheduled, and everyone took their seats. Relatives from the Zhou family came in numbers, and even Jiang Xiao’s grandparents were brought to Jincheng to attend the wedding. Despite their initial resentment towards Jiang Yi, they were firmly against Jiang Yi and completely broke off their relationship with him. But time had diluted their resentment. Not to mention, seeing Little Bean Sprout had softened their stance, and the elderly couple still felt a sense of guilt and gratitude towards Jiang Xiao, their granddaughter.

Liang Yue and Director Jin ultimately did not come. They claimed that Director Jin wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t make it, but they sent their blessings to the newlyweds.

Jin Zhongbei and Jin Shuyan attended the wedding, and it didn’t raise any suspicions from the public.

All of Huaxia’s contracted artists who could come did attend, including Cheng Ying.

Song Yiwen and Qin Yilu came together, and everyone’s attire today was simple yet suitable for the occasion.

Qin Yilu stared at the stage, “I never thought CEO Zhou would invite Teacher Jin as his best man.”

Song Yiwen chuckled, “Who would want to be CEO Zhou’s best man? You’ll be under scrutiny as soon as you step up there. Besides, with this family of three standing on the stage, it doesn’t really matter who the best man or maid of honor is.”

Although the relationship between Zhou Xiulin and Jiang Xiao was widely known in their circle, this was the first time they had appeared together as a family of three. Everyone was curious about “Little Bean Sprout” that was often mentioned on Jiang Xiao’s Weibo.

Qin Yilu suppressed a smile, “Why don’t you go sit with Zhou Yanyan?”

Song Yiwen looked at the front row. Zhou Yanyan was still recovering from her injuries, sitting in her seat.

“Are you two fighting?”

“No.”

“You must be fighting. Maybe her injuries have made her a bit irritable at times.” Even though she had heard before that Princess Zhou could be difficult to handle, in matters of the heart, one was willing to endure for the other.

Song Yiwen shifted her gaze again, looking at the eighth row on the right. Sitting over there were Jiang Xiao’s classmates. He almost instantly recognized a man among them, Qin Heng.

It had to be said that Qin Heng’s appearance, even among numerous male celebrities today, didn’t lose any of its charm.

Who hasn’t experienced a brief youthful romance?

At ten minutes past ten, the wedding began.

The band played the “Wedding March,” creating a romantic and joyful atmosphere.

Jiang Xiao held her father’s hand, and Little Bean Sprout carried her bridal train. With the uplifting music, she walked step by step towards the center stage.

Her heart was pounding, and she surprisingly felt nervous.

Wearing a sharp black suit, Zhou Xiulin stood there, his gaze never leaving her.

Jiang’s father handed her hand to Zhou Xiulin, his eyes sparkling with a bright glow. Yes, he might not spend his entire life growing old with his loved one, but as long as his daughter could be happy, he had no other wishes.

On the stage, the bridesmaids and groomsmen stood behind the bride and groom, and the lovely flower girl stood by the bride’s feet.

The emcee was a well-known host in Jincheng. The atmosphere was warm, not overly emotional.

Little Bean Sprout held a gift box, and Zhou Xiulin took the ring from his hand. He held Jiang Xiao’s hand, put the simple yet precious ring on her ring finger, and looked deeply into her eyes. He lifted her veil and gently embraced her, leaning down to kiss the corner of her lips.

The kiss ended.

The two of them looked into each other’s eyes, their eyes filled with happiness.

Zhou Xiulin’s throat moved up and down, “Mrs. Zhou, you look truly beautiful today.”

Jiang Xiao tilted her head upward, gazing at him. Many memories flashed before her eyes – their first meeting, their first meal together. It turns out she remembered it all so deeply.

Zhou Xiulin held her hand and said, “I’ve been waiting for this day for more than four years.”

Jiang Xiao smiled, her heart filled with emotion. “I’ve known you for ten years.”

Zhou Xiulin bent down to kiss her on the forehead, “Jiang Xiao, I love you.”

Tears welled up in Jiang Xiao’s eyes, “Zhou Xiulin, I love you too.”

Because of you, I believe that my life is not a mistake.

Because of you, I believe in the true essence of love.

We met in haste, but staying together will be a lifelong journey.

“Dad, Mom, don’t you love me anymore?” Zhou Simu tiptoed, blinked his big eyes, and his voice carried a hint of distress.
