Two months later, in the solemn wedding hall.
The beautiful bride, dressed in a magnificent and elegant wedding gown, slowly walked into the hall.
Wherever the bride walked, the spotlights followed.
Flowers adorned everything, all fresh flowers, and everywhere there were photos of the couple together. A dreamy mist created a fairytale-like scene, a scene only found in ancient legends.
The bride slowly walked to the groom, who gallantly took her hand and placed it on his arm. Together, they walked the rest of the way across the stage.
Before the wedding officiant, the officiant asked:
"Miss Cai Jinru, do you agree to become the wife of Mr. Chen Jiancheng? To love and cherish him faithfully, in sickness and in health, in wealth and in poverty, in joy and in sorrow?"
"I do!"
"Mr. Chen Jiancheng, do you agree to become the husband of Miss Cai Jinru? To love and cherish her faithfully, in sickness and in health, in wealth and in poverty, in joy and in sorrow?"
"I do!"
Everyone applauded.
The officiant then said:
"Before your family and friends, please exchange your wedding rings!"
Chen Jiancheng tenderly held Jinru's hands and gently placed the ring on her finger.
Jinru also took his hand, smiling brightly as she put the ring on him.
"From this day forward, you are officially husband and wife.
I wish you both eternal happiness together, to live side by side until your hair turns white.
Those with destiny will reunite in many future lives.
Congratulations to you both!" The officiant finished speaking and completed his duty.
"It seems like something is still missing, isn't it?" Section Chief Zheng Mingshan, who was the MC for the reception, asked everyone.
"Kiss!"
Everyone said in unison.
Jinru looked at everyone shyly but still stood on her tiptoes and actively kissed Jiancheng on the lips. He seized the opportunity, wrapped his arms around her waist, and returned the kiss.
Everyone below cheered continuously.
Chen Jiancheng's entire family also clapped happily.
Finally, the youngest uncle of the family had found a wife.
The old man in the wheelchair smiled brightly at the young couple. He had kept his promise to her from before, wearing the vest she had given him then. Perhaps she had forgotten, but in his subconscious, he always remembered those things.
The wedding of the KT Group chairman shocked everyone.
It wasn't that people were surprised Chen Jiancheng was getting married, but they were surprised that his bride was Cai Jinru.
Everyone at Siyun Company could only gape when they received the wedding invitation.
They never expected Jinru's husband to be the chairman of KT Group.
The director that day had countless things to say and laugh about with Jinru.
Li Wanru was also invited to the wedding. Thinking Jinru was a friend, she brought a large gift.
After talking with Jinru for a while, she realized that the bad side of her had disappeared along with the unhappy memories from before.
Jinru truly hoped that Li Wanru would find another happiness suitable for her.
Qiu Nian, sitting in the bride's family section, pulled Jinru over to talk.
She shyly asked:
"Ru, there's something I don't want to hide from you."
"What is it, sister?"
"Cai Kang confessed to me. I don't know what to do."
Jinru looked at Cai Kang, who was sitting in the groom's family section and staring intently in their direction, then asked Qiu Nian:
"Do you like him?"
"I... I do! But I'm a single mother. I'm afraid of so many things!"
"So what if you're a single mother? Single mothers also need to find happiness for themselves."
"I think Tai Kang is a good person. If you like him, you can consider him."
"Don't regret it after losing it. Didn't you tell me that some things in life only happen once? That's why we must seize the opportunity."
Qiu Yin looked at her.
At this moment, little Huai An, who was beside them, also spoke.
"Mommy, I really like Uncle Kang too."
"He asked if he could be my dad. I said yes!"
Jin Ru smiled and patted the child's head. She nodded at Qiu Yin, giving her encouragement.
"Next is the bouquet toss!"
"All single ladies and gentlemen, please come forward to the stage to receive good luck from the bride and groom!" Department Manager Shan's voice was clear and melodious.
Everyone flocked to the stage.
Jin Ru also pulled Qiu Yin along to stand in line.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Toss!"
The command was shouted. Jin Ru threw the bouquet behind her back and then turned around.
She smiled brightly and clapped her hands. The wedding bouquet landed neatly in Qiu Yin's hands. Qiu Yin also smiled.
Jin Ru and Chen Jiancheng walked past Tai Kang. She teased him,
"Hurry up and make your move!"
Tai Kang: "..."
The wedding ended. Jin Ru changed into another dress and returned home with Chen Jiancheng.
He tidied up her belongings for her.
When he returned to the room, he saw her sitting neatly on the bed, holding a gift box. She called out,
"Come here, I have a gift for you!"
He approached, and she handed him the gift.
He opened it to look, and his mouth fell open as he stared at her.
Jin Ru remained silent, observing his expression.
Chen Jiancheng covered his mouth with his hand. With tears welling up in his eyes, he asked her,
"Is it true, my dear?"
"It's true!"
"How long has it been?"
"I haven't even gone for a check-up yet."
He laughed loudly and hugged her tightly. In his hand, he held a pregnancy test stick with two lines.
At this moment, his heart was filled with immense joy.
He held her tightly in his arms and said,
"Thank you, my dear!"
~
Many months later, when Jin Ru's small belly had grown noticeably.
Chen Jiancheng took her to a small garden.
In the garden, there was a relatively large bellflower tree.
It was the beginning of spring, and the bellflowers were starting to bud. A few flowers had already bloomed.
Chen Jiancheng carefully supported her, step by step. When they arrived, he said,
"Do you know what kind of flower this is?"
"I don't know!"
"It's a bellflower, it's Xin An!"
Jin Ru looked at him in surprise.
She thought she had misheard and asked again,
"Xin An?"
"Yes, I realized that only you and I remember her existence."
"Throughout the four years you were gone, I always helped her complete the system's missions."
"And the most difficult mission was to bring you back, or to bring me to you."
"She did her best to help me. The other day, she called me to say the mission was complete, but she would probably disappear."
"I tracked her location here and only found this bellflower tree growing. I consider it to be Xin An."
"I've always taken care of the bellflowers, waiting for them to bloom as a token of gratitude to her."
Chen Jiancheng explained to her.
Jin Ru was silent, her heart rippling. She reached out and touched a petal.
Chen Jiancheng continued,
"I said that when we had an ending, I would bring you to see her, but I waited until the flowers bloomed before I could bring you."
Jin Ru wrapped her arms around him and whispered,
"Our reunion is the most beautiful ending."
Chen Jiancheng looked at her and smiled.
The two of them walked hand in hand, strolling through the garden to admire the flowers, and talking about their future.
Somewhere, the book "Deep Affection" with its unusual cover had closed, and the familiar words at the end of the book appeared.
"From then on, the two of them lived happily ever after."
