Hearing Shen Lang’s words, Song Qingyi sighed. She never imagined things would turn out this way, but since Shen Lang had made up his mind, as his mother, she couldn’t say much more.
Fifteen minutes later, Wang Yuyan walked out.
Everyone only saw Wang Yuyan change into a Hanfu. This dress emitted a multicolored divine light, like the radiance of a phoenix, making everyone present feel blinded by its brilliance.
Wang Yuyan was already beautiful, and after putting on this “Nishang Yuyi” (Rainbow Dress), she became even more stunning. Her demeanor became so lofty and unattainable that all the men and women present felt a sense of inferiority.
“This girl, she truly is not of this mortal realm.”
Even Song Qingyi and Song Xidao, upon seeing Wang Yuyan adorned in the Nishang Yuyi, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
Shen Lang also hadn’t expected the Nishang Yuyi to be so breathtaking, and for a moment, he was lost in a daze.
After a while, Shen Lang walked directly to Wang Yuyan’s front, then extended his large hand, gently taking Wang Yuyan’s hand, and stepped towards the high platform.
The guests present thought the wedding would end in disharmony with Gu Qinghan’s unannounced departure. No one expected that with one bride gone, another would step in.
They had experienced many upheavals, but they had never witnessed such an event. However, Wang Yuyan was indeed too beautiful, like a fairy. It was likely that no man could resist being moved.
Shen Lang let Wang Yuyan link arms with him, then walked step by step towards Song Qingyi and Shen Tianjun. After respectfully bowing to his parents, he proceeded to Wolong.
“Shen Lang, do you take this woman named Wang Yuyan before you as your lawfully wedded wife? From this day forward, to love her, to cherish her, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, until death do you part?”
Wolong, holding the microphone, called out to Shen Lang.
“I do.”
Upon hearing Wolong’s words, Shen Lang looked at Wang Yuyan with deep affection and said.
“Good—”
Responding to Shen Lang’s answer, Wolong shouted, then turned to Wang Yuyan and asked, “Wang Yuyan, do you take this man named Shen Lang before you as your lawfully wedded husband? From this day forward, to love him, to cherish him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, until death do you part?”
“I do.”
Wang Yuyan replied with firm eyes.
“Good, from this day forward, you are husband and wife. The ceremony is complete.”
Wolong brought Wang Yuyan and Shen Lang’s hands together and had them clasp tightly, saying, “May you walk hand in hand for a lifetime, and be happy forever.”
“Snap—”
As Wolong finished speaking, the entire venue erupted in thunderous applause. With the applause ending, the wedding came to a close.
Half an hour later, Shen Lang changed out of his groom’s attire, and Wang Yuyan also shed the Nishang Yuyi, changing into a white gown as pure as snow.
After the wedding, Shen Lang’s expression was terrifyingly grim. Even Wolong dared not approach him.
Wolong had known Shen Lang for nearly twenty years, and he had never seen Shen Lang like this. It was clear he was deeply upset.
Finally, it was the newlywed wife, Wang Yuyan, who proactively approached Shen Lang, handed him a cup of hot tea, and said, “Have some tea.”
“Yuyan, don’t worry about me. I’m fine.”
Seeing Wang Yuyan approach with the tea, Shen Lang’s gloomy expression lessened slightly, and he forced a smile.
“I know, that’s why I wasn’t trying to comfort you.”
Wang Yuyan said gently, “No one understands you better than I do. I know that no setback will ever crush you, will it?”
“Yes—”
Shen Lang took the teacup from his wife’s hand, then smiled and said, “Perhaps she was just an erroneous interlude, and now everything is returning to the correct track. Since that’s the case, there’s no need to dwell on it.”
“It’s best that you can think this way.”
Wang Yuyan smiled and said, “I don’t ask you to forget her. You can always remember her. After all, she is also a part of you. I love you, and I can accept all of you.”
“Haha, that’s all in the past. We need to look forward.”
Shen Lang smiled and said, “What has passed will not be retained, and what troubles my heart today is the worry of today. Since she was the wrong person, there’s no need to think about it anymore.”
“Yuyan, today’s wedding was so rushed that I didn’t even prepare wedding rings for you. After I go to Dong Country and return, I will hold another wedding for you.”
After Shen Lang finished the tea, he gently clasped Wang Yuyan’s fair and slender fingers with his right hand and smiled.
“You know, I don’t care about these things. As long as I can marry you, I wouldn’t mind even without any ceremony.”
Wang Yuyan looked at Shen Lang and smiled, “Rest well for the next few days, don’t think about anything. I’ll be with you.”
“Okay—”
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang’s face showed a relaxed smile. “Yuyan, thank goodness for you.”
As Wang Yuyan smiled slightly and turned to pour more tea, Song Xidao walked over and said, “Shen Lang, are you really not considering going to look for Qinghan?”
“Uncle, she’s the one who left, and without a word. Why should I go look for her?”
Shen Lang sighed. “It’s over between her and me. I don’t want to hear her name again. Uncle, for your sake, I will be happy. Don’t mention her again.”
“Of course, I promised you I would apprehend He Yaodong, and I will do it. After that, I will bring Qin Long and the others to Dong Country to capture the person, and then I will resign from all my positions in the Martial Guard Department.”
Shen Lang’s attitude was resolute. Even Song Xidao was speechless for a moment.
“Alright, since you’ve decided, I won’t try to persuade you further.”
Song Xidao knew that Shen Lang was full of pent-up anger today, so he didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.
At the same moment, Gu Qinghan was at the Nanying Wharf. A cruise ship sailed up and stopped in front of her, and then a woman in white disembarked.
“Miss Gu Qinghan, this cruise ship can take you directly to Xiguo without any obstacles. Our young lady has prepared a surprise for you there.”
The woman in white smiled at Gu Qinghan. “Don’t worry, our young lady is a woman of her word. She never breaks a promise.”
“Your young lady, I don’t think I ever truly knew her before. Who would have thought that Miss Wang, who appears harmless, would be so capable?”
Gu Qinghan said self-deprecatingly, “I always thought I was very shrewd, but compared to her, I realize I’m nothing.”
“Our young lady is a genius who has never appeared before and will never appear again. Her wisdom is beyond anyone’s reach. Miss Gu, if you compare yourself to our young lady, you will only feel more disheartened.”
The woman in white smiled and said, “Let me tell you some news. Because you left without a word, Shen Lang chose to marry our young lady on the spot. They are now husband and wife. You should give up hope.”
