Chapter 935 - 978: The Wedding Ceremony
Looking at his precious daughter’s pitiful expression, Yan Qinghan couldn’t help but feel sympathetic. He gently nudged Guan Nuannuan and softly said, "Sweetheart, Chuxia is still young and can’t handle being scared. What you’re saying is so frightening, it’ll scare her."
Guan Nuannuan shot Yan Qinghan a fierce glare and retorted, "How am I being scary? Tell me, isn’t today supposed to be a joyful occasion? Isn’t everyone here cheerful and festive? Isn’t it just Chuxia who’s crying in this whole venue? On such a joyous day, what do you think the hosts would think if they saw her crying? I know you love your precious daughter dearly, but you have to consider the occasion! How can you spoil her like this without any principles? Doing this isn’t love; it’s harming her! If others see her crying, they’ll just say she doesn’t understand and isn’t well-mannered!"
To save face for Yan Qinghan and Yan Chuxia, Guan Nuannuan kept her voice as low as possible so others around wouldn’t hear!
However, Huo Junmo, who was sitting right next to them, heard every word she said. Seeing Guan Nuannuan scold Yan Qinghan like this, Huo Junmo’s mood brightened, and he eagerly perked up his ears, hoping to hear more clearly.
After Guan Nuannuan’s reprimand, Yan Qinghan lowered his head, his momentum instantly diminished. Although he was unwilling, he didn’t dare to protest loudly, and instead, he muttered quietly, "She’s only four years old, still a little child. Who would say she doesn’t understand?"
Unfortunately, Guan Nuannuan’s sharp ears caught every single word.
Seeing that Yan Qinghan was not only incorrigible but even dared to talk back, she got so angry that her face turned red. "Is four still considered young? Look at Xiao Bai, so sensible at five! Girls naturally mature earlier than boys and become sensible sooner! But look at Chuxia, being spoiled by you like a two or three-year-old child. It’s true that girls should be pampered and nurtured lavishly, but that refers to living conditions, not turning them into capricious, insensible, and unreasonable personalities! No matter what we do, we need to be in the right; if we’re in the wrong, even with business success or wealth, we’re failures."
Guan Nuannuan spoke a lot in one breath!
She’s long been unable to tolerate Yan Qinghan’s way of indulging his precious daughter with his life!
She used to feel indifferent, thinking that it’s okay for girls to be pampered more than boys anyway.
But today, what kind of occasion is this? People are happily getting married, and yet they’re making this scene; isn’t this showing a lack of understanding? If they aren’t properly taught a lesson now, they won’t know how to restrain themselves in the future.
"I understand, this time it was my fault!" Yan Qinghan, with his head down, didn’t dare to say anything further.
Although Guan Nuannuan is somewhat feisty, she’s never unreasonable. She always handles the necessary etiquette and principles very well!
Usually, no matter how he spoils his precious daughter, she wouldn’t interfere!
It seems this time he’s really gone too far, thus truly angering her!
Seeing Yan Qinghan admit his mistake, Guan Nuannuan turned her attention to Yan Chuxia in her arms, asking sternly, "Chuxia, did you understand what Mommy said?"
Yan Chuxia blinked her big, sparkling eyes, nodding with slight understanding.
Whether Yan Chuxia understood or not, at least she was no longer crying, so Guan Nuannuan didn’t say anything further. She patted her on the head, sighed inwardly, and with a slightly softened tone, said helplessly, "Chuxia, remember, at home you can make as much noise as you want, Mommy and Daddy will accommodate you! But outside, you must be a sensible and obedient child! You’re Daddy and Mommy’s child; it’s natural for us to love and spoil you! However, you have no relation with others outside, and they have no obligation to treat you like Mommy and Daddy do! So, when you’re outside, you have to be sensible and obedient, don’t embarrass Mommy and Daddy, and don’t give others the chance to call you an ill-mannered child! Especially as you’re growing up day by day, you’re no longer a child under three, many things you should start to understand."
"Mommy, I got it!" Yan Chuxia nodded obediently! Although she still didn’t quite grasp everything her mother said, she understood that her crying and making a scene on an occasion like today was inappropriate.
"Our Chuxia is the most well-behaved!" Seeing Yan Chuxia so understanding, Guan Nuannuan happily kissed her on the cheek.
Actually, Chuxia had a good temperament when she was just born, but as she grew older, she’s becoming more headstrong! And it’s all due to Yan Qinghan’s spoiling! Now she realizes that she can’t let Yan Qinghan continue to spoil her like this, or who knows what Chuxia will become! It seems she must educate Chuxia properly from now on.
Sitting next to them, Huo Junmo listened to Guan Nuannuan scold Yan Qinghan, while Yan Qinghan didn’t dare make a sound, he couldn’t help but be glad and wanted to applaud Guan Nuannuan.
That’s what happens to Yan Qinghan for losing her daughter’s flower girl position; he deserves the lesson.
After Guan Nuannuan finished scolding Yan Chuxia and turned her focus to the main wedding platform, Nan Mingchuan was already holding Ye Anxin’s hand, passing it to Mu Beiting!
Looking at their tightly clasped hands, Nan Mingchuan, with tears in his eyes and a reluctant heart, said, "I entrust Anxin to you from now on; take good care of her for me, and don’t let her suffer anymore!"
Mu Beiting tightly held Ye Anxin’s small hand in his palm, vowing solemnly, "Rest assured, I will!"
"Mm!" Nan Mingchuan nodded contentedly, then he returned to the family seat on the guest side to sit down.
The two little flower girls continued to hold the hem of Ye Anxin’s dress until she stepped onto the main wedding platform, then they left, returning to their respective family sides to sit down.
Facing the main wedding platform and back to the guests, Ye Anxin stood, with Mu Beiting at her left side, their fingers intertwined, standing side by side.
In front of them stood the priest presiding over their wedding today!
Ye Anxin stood at the front of the main wedding platform, though she couldn’t see the crowd behind her, she could feel everyone’s attention focused on her!
Ye Anxin’s heart, which had finally calmed down, started to race again. Nervous, not only did her palms begin to sweat, but her mouth and throat also felt incredibly dry!
The priest stood behind the main wedding platform, holding a solemn Bible, and after reciting a lengthy wedding ceremony prelude, he looked at Mu Beiting and seriously asked, "Mr. Mu Beiting, do you wish to take Ye Anxin, standing beside you, as your wife, to live together as instructed by the Bible, becoming one before God, to love, comfort, honor, and protect her, whether in sickness or in health, in wealth or in poverty, always faithful to her until parted by death?"
