Chapter 1343 - 1357: Finally Married Off
An Ran sobbed softly in Mu Xingfeng’s arms, feeling happier than anyone else about Lin Ruonan and Gu Haoyu coming together.
Xiao Xiao’s big eyes were red like a rabbit’s. Lin Junyang glanced sideways at her, the corner of his lips curling up, "Fool."
Though he spoke disdainfully, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
Seeing Lin Ruonan nod, Gu Haoyu couldn’t hold back anymore and took a few steps forward, embracing her and deeply kissing the top of her head. Finally, he picked her up bridal style. "Let’s go, we’re going home."
Lin Ruonan gasped in surprise but held Gu Haoyu’s neck tightly, smiling sweetly with happiness, "Yes, let’s go home."
Amidst the cheers from everyone, Gu Haoyu carried Lin Ruonan downstairs.
Downstairs, Old Mr. Lin, Lin Weidong, and Jiang Xinru were already seated in the main hall. Watching Gu Haoyu carry Lin Ruonan down, Jiang Xinru was in tears of joy, clutching tightly onto Lin Weidong’s sleeve.
"Married, finally married."
Lin Weidong, whose sleeve was being tugged on by his wife, grimaced slightly. With a calm movement, he pried off her small hand that was clutching his sleeve and the skin beneath it, "Wife, the way you say it, it’s as if our daughter couldn’t get married. Finding a son-in-law like Haoyu, we should be happy, so why are you crying?"
"I’m not crying! I’m just happy. Ruonan liked Xingfeng for twenty years, but that guy never even glanced at her. Yet she kept stubbornly standing under that crooked-necked tree throwing ropes, even tossing up her belt, but she never managed to tie anything. All these years, weren’t you anxious watching her?"
Jiang Xinru patted herself. She was wearing a gown today and hadn’t brought a handkerchief, so she reached for the pocket square in Lin Weidong’s suit, dabbing her tears and finally blowing her nose before stuffing it back.
Watching his wife’s skillful actions, Lin Weidong could only suppress his disgust, using two fingers to pull the pocket square out again and tossing it onto a nearby table.
"Alright, I’ve told you many times, the children will have their own blessings. Look, while she was trying to find a branch on Xingfeng’s crooked tree, wasn’t there a devoted Haoyu right beside, ready to crash into her tree till it broke? Now they’ve found peace in death, and we feel content."
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, on such a joyous day, talking about death," Jiang Xinru pretended to spit, "They are called a couple in love finally being wed. Soon we’ll have a grandchild to hold. Just thinking about a soft, adorable little one makes my heart leap."
Speaking of grandchildren, Lin Weidong also excitedly grasped his wife’s hand, and they were nearly embracing in celebration.
Old Mr. Lin gave the two over-enthusiastic people beside him a disdainful glance and cleared his throat, "The newlyweds are coming down in a moment. Are you two done yet, or should you greet them later after holding each other for a while longer?"
Lin Weidong then noticed that Gu Haoyu was already coming down with Lin Ruonan in his arms. He quickly pushed Jiang Xinru aside, adjusted his military cap, and sat up straight with a solemn expression, as if the lively person from before was possessed by something.
Jiang Xinru also adjusted her military cap and sat properly, their expressions mirroring each other like a wedding photo from the 1980s.
Gu Haoyu set Lin Ruonan down, and a servant placed kneeling cushions for them.
The two of them each served tea to Old Mr. Lin, Dad Lin, and Mom Lin.
