When she heard the ruckus die down, that feeling intensified. She stood up and opened the door slightly, just enough for her to peek out.
“Yu Lili,” Ou Ming’s voice rang out again as he called her name. “I’m here.”
The few simple words made their way gently into Yu Lili’s heart. Happiness sweetly bloomed within her.
Outside, protests of dissatisfaction could be heard. The bridesmaids began complaining, “It’s supposed to be a declaration of love! How could it be so simple? It doesn’t count! Again!”
Indeed, Ou Ming wasn’t good at sweet-talking. When he heard the complaints from all directions, he helplessly scratched his ear. After a moment’s thought, he said, “Yu Lili, I made many mistakes in the past. I hurt you over and over again. We broke up and made up many times. Each time, although I didn’t mention it, I know you must have been hurting.”
As Ou Ming spoke, his face began to blush furiously. When he saw all the eyes on him, he cleared his throat awkwardly before continuing, “But, it doesn’t matter anymore. All the pain I caused you in the past, I will use the future to make it up to you bit by bit. We have a lifetime for me to do so. We will even have children in the future. The love I have for you will continue on to our next generation, and the generation after that, forever.”
“Well said!” The groomsmen began clapping their hands in a raucous applause.
Yu Lili was in the bedroom. She sniggered. For some reason, her eyes began to feel warm.
Cheers erupted outside. Yu Lili quickly returned to sit by the bed. Soon, the door to the bedroom was opened. The bridesmaids entered and surrounded her.
Yu Lili was dressed in a wedding gown that Ou Ming had personally designed. She looked exquisite and resplendent.
Ou Ming gazed at Yu Lili. This period of separation had made his beloved woman look even more beautiful to his eyes. It made his heart beat even harder at the sight of her.
A crowd clustered around Yu Lili as she stood up. She gazed at the man that she hadn’t seen in a long, long time. With a giggle, she said, “The words you said just now are so unlike you.”
Ou Ming kept his eyes on her as he walked forward. With a smile, he slowly said, “I’ll keep my word.”
Yu Lili’s lips turned up as she broke out in hearty laughter. She leapt eagerly into his arms.
Ye Qianqian watched on in envy. Suddenly, a cellphone in her purse began to ring. It was Shen Manting’s cell phone.
Ye Qianqian walked to a quiet corner and took the phone out. The caller was Shen Luo’an. The relationship between Shen Manting and Shen Luo’an had long been an open secret.
Ye Qianqian was always up to date with her news. When she saw the number, she ignored it and returned the phone to her purse. She went to search the room for Shen Manting, but she was nowhere to be found.
Shen Luo’an made five consecutive calls.
Ding dong.
A text message was received. It was from Shen Luo’an.
[Where are you? If you don’t reply, I’ll go to Ou Ming’s wedding venue to look for you.]
Ye Qianqian scoffed when she saw the message.
This guy is an innate scumbag. Not only does he treat Ye Youyou this way, this is the attitude he shows to Shen Manting as well? Scumbag! Horrible scumbag!
Immediately after, Shen Luo’an called again. Ye Qianqian picked up the call quickly and curtly declared, “Shen Manting went out! She didn’t bring her phone with her!”
Shen Luo’an was furious when he heard Ye Qianqian’s voice. “Where did she go?”
