“Hey! Sit back down! It’s dangerous!” Jing Xi scolded, pulling Ying Bao back to her seat.
They reached the Moon Castle in no time.
The castle had been redecorated from the inside out. Flowers and purple ribbons covered every corner of the castle, making the whole place look like it came straight out from a fairytale.
Jing Xi and her family walked towards the castle with Ying Bao leading the way, hopping happily in front of her parents.
Huo Yunshen held Jing Xi hands as they enjoyed the decorations.
“My dad sure is romantic! I can see why mom fell for him.”
Huo Yunshen turned to look at Jing Xi, realizing that he hadn’t done anything romantic for Jing Xi for quite some time.
Ever since they’d arrived in Estan, a lot had happened, and he had sort of neglected his wife.
He couldn’t help but feel a little guilt. He promised Jing Xi in his heart that he would learn more from Helian Wei to lock her heart in his.
The person they first met in the castle was Helian Wei. He wore a black tuxedo and a white button-down beneath it. He looked tall and sturdy in the wedding outfit.
There was no hint of him being old; the outfit even made him look younger than he actually was.
“Dad!” Jing Xi greeted.
“Oh, Jing Xi, Yunshen, both of you are here.”
“You look really handsome today!”
“You do know that it’s a huge taboo to pliment another guy in front of your husband, right?” Helian Wei warned Jing Xi with a smile.
Jing Xi laughed and turned to look at Huo Yunshen.
“No, I can take it since father-in-law is so much better looking than me,” Huo Yunshen smiled.
“Is mom done with her preparations?” Jing Xi asked, looking at the second floor.
“You can go take a look. The makeup artist is putting her makeup on as we speak.”
“Okay!”
Jing Xi went to look for Jing Ruyue, leaving Huo Yunshen with Helian Wei to help with the arriving guests.
Jing Xi entered the room and saw a few stylists helping Jing Ruyue with her makeup and hair. Ying Bao was sitting next to her grandmother and looking at her with her curious eyes.
“Mom,” Jing Xi greeted as she saw her mother’s reflection in the mirror.
“Yanyan!” Jing Ruyue also saw Jing Xi in the mirror. “Don’t you think people will laugh at us for having a wedding at such ages?”
Jing Ruyue had actually proposed to not hold the wedding. All she wanted was to live the remainder of her life with Helian Wei.
But Helian Wei insisted on the wedding, saying that it was pensation for all the regrets they’d gone through.
“I will punch their teeth out from their mouths if anyone laughs at you,” Jing Xi said as she sat down next to her mother. “You and dad finally get to have a happy life after so much hardship. The wedding is a ceremony that represents a promise to spend the rest of your life with your partner. It shows how much dad really cares for you. Since you don’t want the public to learn about this, that’s why dad decided to hold a private one in the castle. He only has one wish in his life, and that is to marry you. Can’t you at least promise him that?”
