Jiang Nuan smiled and said, "Xia Xia, he's so romantic."
Yun Xia: "..." Alright! It's romantic!
Meng Yuan looked at Jiang Nuan, who was overwhelmed by love, with disbelief. "Nuannuan, you finally understand the seven emotions and six desires."
Jiang Nuan looked at her with amusement. "In your eyes, am I someone who doesn't understand the seven emotions and six desires?"
Meng Yuan nodded quickly. "If you didn't have children, I would suspect you weren't a woman. Don't you remember how cold you used to be?"
Jiang Nuan smiled faintly, placing her hands on the quilt, her beautiful eyes reminiscing about her past self. "I don't remember. Happiness and joy make me forget all the pain."
"Nuannuan, honestly, I'm really happy to have met you and Yuanyuan." Yun Xia's eyes were red as she lay between her two good sisters, looking left and right.
Meng Yuan took a deep breath. "This is our fate. Time flies so fast, and we're almost thirty. We're all mothers now."
"Since I had my child, I've discovered something: time passes incredibly quickly. I think, in life, nothing is important. The most important things are happiness, joy, and health.
Even living the most ordinary life, as long as you have health, happiness, and joy, you are the happiest person in the world."
Meng Yuan's smile was radiant. She was fortunate to have met He Mingrun, who doted on her like a princess.
Yun Xia also smiled. She was fortunate to have met Li Qingshuo, who gave her the home she desired.
Jiang Nuan also smiled at them, thinking to herself, "Thank you for being there!"
She replied to Mu Jiuchen's message: "[Husband, goodnight!]"
However, as Jiang Nuan closed her eyes, she still had no sleep.
Perhaps it was because she was the bride herself. This was something she had never dreamed of before the age of twenty-four, and now she was the protagonist.
...
Modu!
A propitious day!
The Lu family was bustling with activity early in the morning.
Following tradition, the Lu family had their three elder brothers escort their sister for her wedding.
Mu Jiuchen was scheduled to arrive at two in the afternoon. At ten to two, Mu Jiuchen arrived outside the main gate with his groomsmen.
He Mingrun and Li Qingshuo were his groomsmen. They were dressed formally, and this handsome groom and groomsmen lineup was a pleasing sight.
Getting out of the decorated car, He Mingrun was nervous. "Little Jiu, I've never been a groom before. I'm so nervous."
Mu Jiuchen, who hadn't slept last night, was still energetic today.
His hair had been cut shorter, revealing his full forehead. His well-defined features appeared even more refined and spirited. He had been smiling all morning.
He said in a low voice, "You're not the groom, why are you nervous?" It was as if he had been a groom before.
He Mingrun tugged at his tie. "If I were the groom, I wouldn't be nervous at all."
Mu Jiuchen: "..."
He turned to look at Li Qingshuo. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Li Qingshuo glared at him. "I'm not the groom, why should I be happy?"
Mu Jiuchen asked with a solemn expression, "So, you all want to be the groom when I get married?"
He Mingrun and Li Qingshuo exchanged glances, feeling something was amiss.
"No, Mu Jiuchen, your sour words make it sound like we want to snatch the bride from you! What we mean is, we should be the grooms, marrying alongside you. Even though we all have wives, we feel it's a pity not to have had a grand wedding." He Mingrun also wanted to give his wife a grand wedding.
Mu Jiuchen was speechless. "You have plenty of time to get married. Why are you competing with me for the groom's status?"
Xiao Fan and Chen Feng stood behind the three men, silently observing them. They felt that one was more childish than the other.
One was more foolish than the other.
As the auspicious hour arrived, the Lu family's main gate opened.
Mu Jiuchen took a deep breath and entered to pick up the bride.
Mu Jiuchen, who hadn't been nervous earlier, was now very tense.
He turned and asked Xiao Fan and Chen Feng, "Are the red envelopes for entering the house all prepared?"
Xiao Fan and Chen Feng quickly nodded. "Master, you can rest assured and be the groom. I've already prepared everything."
Mu Jiuchen: "Good!"
He then strode in.
Lu Residence.
In Jiang Nuan's room.
Jiang Yuankuo and his siblings were also dressed formally. The brothers wore suits.
Jiang Siyun wore a beautiful pink princess dress.
The three siblings looked at their beautiful mother and couldn't stop smiling.
Meng Yuan was there, taking many photos of them.
Yun Xia looked out the window and said, "Wow! The groom is so handsome. My husband is here, so handsome."
"Tsk! Xia Xia, you're just trying to praise your own husband, aren't you?" Meng Yuan said with a smile.
Yun Xia, as always, was easily shy. "That's right. Otherwise, why would they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder?"
"Hehe..." Meng Yuan looked at the bride, who was as beautiful as a celestial being.
"Nuannuan, you're finally getting married. I'm so reluctant to let you go." Meng Yuan's eyes welled up.
Jiang Nuan had experienced poverty and bullying, and had rarely had happy days. The pain of the past felt like torment every day, but from now on, every day would be filled with happiness.
Jiang Nuan lowered her gaze and smiled, taking her sister Meng Yuan's hand and taking a deep breath, but remained silent.
Lu Jinyue and his brothers walked in.
Looking at the beautiful bride, all three brothers' eyes turned red.
Lu Jincheng pursed his lips and smiled. "Nuannuan, brother will carry you downstairs."
In families with elder brothers, it was customary for the brothers to carry their sisters out and hand them over to the groom.
"Brother, thank you!" Jiang Nuan stood up and rested on her eldest brother's back.
Lu Jinyan and Lu Jincheng followed behind.
Meng Yuan and Yun Xia took the three little ones downstairs.
Xiao Fan and Chen Feng were busy distributing red envelopes to the servants.
Mu Jiuchen, holding a bouquet of flowers, watched his bride being carried over by his elder brother-in-law.
His smile widened, and his gaze was fixed on his beautiful bride.
He had missed her terribly, having not seen her for only three days.
Jiang Nuan also looked at him. The couple's eyes met in a smile, locked onto each other. At this moment, they saw only each other in their eyes.
When Lu Jinyue placed his sister beside Mu Jiuchen, tears began to stream down his face uncontrollably.
Mu Jiuchen was startled. Why was he crying on such a happy day?
Lu Jinyue handed his sister's hand to Lu Jincheng and said in a low voice, "Mu Jiuchen, love my sister well. If you ever stop loving her, please tell her honestly and don't hurt her. We three brothers will take her back, and we won't interfere with your future."
Lu Jinyue said this while crying.
Mu Jiuchen didn't know why he was crying so sadly. He solemnly promised, "Big brother, don't worry, I won't give you that chance."
Lu Jinyue nodded and turned to leave.
Lu Jinyan and Lu Jincheng didn't understand why their elder brother was so upset, and they turned to follow him.
Jiang Nuan was also confused. Why was her eldest brother crying?
Jin Yan and Lu Chengsi also found it strange. Why was their son crying?
This made Jin Yan cry too.
Lu Chengsi comforted his wife, while Mu Jiuchen carried his bride away.
The Lu family didn't have many relatives, and Jiang Nuan didn't have many friends, so no one made things difficult for the groom. The groom successfully picked up the bride and left.
Lu Jinyue returned to the hall and began to cry loudly. Lu Jinyan and Lu Jincheng also had red eyes.
Lu Jinyan couldn't help but choke out, "Big brother, why are you crying?"
