Chapter 160: Grand Finale (Part II)

Damn it, isn't it just winning the heart of a beauty? Is there any need to show off like this?! Is there, is there, is there any need!

Then, a rustling sound echoed above the heads of the three men. At Feng Qingquan's startled cry, a flock of birds spread their wings and flew away from these three unbearable men. They suspected that if they stayed any longer, they might not be able to endure the grand declarations of the few and would fall straight out of the tree, turning supreme joy into sorrow. After all, today was a momentous and joyous occasion!

Finally, the men calmed down. Then, Xiahou Yu said, "Arthur, I know you and Yingyue lack nothing. So, after thinking very carefully about your wedding gift, I've decided to give you something practical. I will take full charge of Blue Tear's development project on Sirius Island. Yingyue, don't worry, just treat it as an extended vacation and come back whenever you get bored and want to work."

As soon as Xiahou Yu finished speaking, Feng Qingquan exclaimed, "Good heavens, Xiahou, you've practically sold yourself into servitude to Yingyue, and without even a payout!"

Xiahou Yu's mouth stiffened slightly. Arthur cast a serene and breezy glance at Feng Qingquan, sending a sudden chill through the man's entire body. Then, looking extremely reluctant, Feng Qingquan spoke in a low voice, "Well... I'll give you the Lake-Heart Pavilion as a wedding gift. Just as we agreed back then, each of us gets six months of use per year."

Hearing this, Arthur raised an eyebrow and asked with feigned surprise, "Huh? Feng, what did you say? I didn't hear you!"

Feng Qingquan clenched his teeth and repeated with extreme reluctance, "The use rights of the Lake-Heart Pavilion, you and I get half a year each annually."

"What? Speak louder, I didn't hear you!" Arthur exclaimed again.

Feng Qingquan clenched his fists at his sides and said in a very booming voice, "I said, I'm giving you the Lake-Heart Pavilion as a wedding gift, and the use—"

"Oh, well. Although I probably won't go more than a few times a year, since it's your sincere gift, I'll reluctantly accept it! Oh, right, whenever you want to go, you're always welcome!" Arthur interrupted Feng Qingquan's impending words very swiftly, deliberately speaking with a tone of feigned annoyance.

Feng Qingquan jerked his head up, staring at Arthur with sheer disbelief. He saw Arthur wearing a deliberately stern expression, yet the corners of his mouth held an unmistakable, mischievous smile! However, since the words were already out of his mouth, it wouldn't look good to go back on them now. He could only suppress the frustration in his heart and nod.

Sigh, actually, it was nothing. Wasn't it just a house? No big deal!

Yet, that was the house where he had painstakingly collected countless rare treasures!

Meanwhile, over in Yingyue's bridal dressing room, Shilei looked at his beautiful younger sister, a surge of emotion and reluctance welling up in his heart. His own sister—they had only been reunited for a few short months, and now she was going to become someone else's bride. He truly hated to see her go!

"Xiaoxiao, your brother doesn't want you to leave!" Shilei stood beside Yingyue, looking utterly pitiful, like someone who had been abandoned.

Looking at Shilei's expression, warmth flooded Yingyue's heart. "Brother, don't worry. Even after I get married, I'll often come to visit you and Grandpa."

"But Grandpa said he can't get used to living abroad. Once you're married, he's going back to the country. By then, I'll be the only one left here." The more Shilei spoke, the more lonely he felt, his eye sockets growing somewhat moist. He genuinely didn't want to marry his sister off so quickly!

"Oh, right, Xiaoxiao, I plan to give you this Garden of Water Romance as a wedding gift. You can live here from now on, and I'll live here too so that I can see you every day!"

Hearing this, Yingyue was startled. "Brother, you're giving me the Garden of Water Romance?"

"Yeah, I think the surrounding environment is nice, and I don't have anything else to give you, so I wanted you to have it. You won't look down on it, will you?"

"Brother, what are you saying? I'm too late to love it, how could I look down on it!" Yingyue's eyes also grew somewhat moist. She turned and threw herself into Shilei's arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist and burying her small head against his chest. A soft voice drifted out, "Brother, we'll always be together!"

"Mmm."

"Oh, right, Brother," she said with a hardened resolve, lifting her head from Shilei's embrace. She walked aside, picked up a box, and returned to Shilei's side. "Brother, help me wear this."

Shilei recognized the box; it was the crystal floral wreath he had given her on the day they signed the contract for the development of Sirius Island!

Shilei opened the box, took out the wreath, and carefully placed it atop Yingyue's hair. In an instant, Shilei felt his eyes dazzled by Yingyue's beauty.

"Alright, Lei'er, are you trying to make the girl cry?" Just as Shilei was in a daze, Xuanyuan Xuanjing walked over. Looking at his dazzlingly beautiful granddaughter, his eyes grew hot. He walked up to Yingyue, and just as he was about to pat her head, he saw her already styled hair and the wreath in place, so he lowered his hand again. Seeing this, Yingyue immediately threw herself into Xuanyuan Xuanjing's arms and coquettishly said, "Grandpa!"

"Ah, good girl!" Xuanyuan Xuanjing hugged the small frame in his arms, instantly feeling a warm current flow through his chest. He affectionately patted Yingyue's back and said, "Good girl, today is a joyous day, you mustn't cry and smudge your makeup, or if you become ugly, watch out or that brat Arthur won't want you anymore!"

"Hmph, he wouldn't dare!" Yingyue gave a haughty and spoiled reply to Xuanyuan Xuanjing's teasing.

"Hehe, you girl, for the rest of your life, I'm afraid that brat is completely wrapped around your finger!" Xuanyuan Xuanjing shook his head with a smile.

"Hmph, Xiaoxiao is probably wrapped around that brat's finger for life too!" Shilei chimed in with a soft laugh from the side.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Xuanjing laughed heartily once more, while Yingyue blushed with bashful shyness and lowered her head.

"Alright, it's getting late. It's time to head to the chapel. That brat must be getting impatient; if we don't go over now, I'm afraid he'll come here and snatch you away!" Xuanyuan Xuanjing teased once more. Then, Yingyue tucked her arm through his and walked toward the chapel.

Walking toward her happy future!

This was a small yet understated and luxurious chapel by the seaside, jointly built by the Rivers family and the Xuanyuan family. On the way to the chapel, gusts of sea breeze carrying the breath of life blew against their faces, instantly refreshing the spirit. Along the roadside, there was no long red carpet paved with red rose petals; instead, a faint, delicate floral fragrance drifted in the air. Both sides of the path were lined with blooming violets—simple and elegant, yet carrying a special significance. Along this path leading to happiness, set upon the rose-petal-strewn ground, were semicircular arches made of white roses every five meters, fluttering with pale pink ribbons. There were a total of 999 arches, symbolizing eternal togetherness. Therefore, after emerging from the bridal dressing room, Yingyue boarded a specially commissioned blue-and-purple wedding car named 'Blue Seraph', arranged by Arthur.

Under the sunlight, the purple portions of the wedding car seemed to subtly reveal blooming violet flowers, while the blue portions appeared to have soft white clouds drifting across them. At the front of the hood was a heart-shaped pattern made of red roses and violets. Above the pattern sat chibi-style figures of Yingyue and Arthur in wedding attire, looking exceptionally festive and romantic.

To the rhythm of the Wedding March, 'Blue Seraph' advanced toward the chapel. The Wedding March echoed along the coastline. All along the way, Yingyue felt the sea breeze and floral fragrance, the corners of her lips curved upward, her cheeks flushed—every detail showcasing her joy and happiness.

Finally, amidst the cheers of the crowd along the route, Yingyue arrived in front of the ninth arch. Xuanyuan Xuanjing stepped out from the right door, while Shilei stepped out from the front passenger seat, walked to the left door, slowly opened it, bent down, and extended his right hand.

The gazes of the crowd were fixed tightly on the left door. First, a small foot wearing a silver crystal shoe stepped out. The hem of the smooth, flowing silver wedding gown cascaded to one side, revealing a short section of a beautifully curved calf. Then the other small foot stepped out, and everyone beheld a pair of exquisite legs and feet. Next, a slender hand in a silver sheer lace glove placed itself on Shilei's right hand. Shilei's right hand slowly exerted gentle force, drawing Yingyue out from inside the vehicle.

In just a fraction of a second, the bustling wedding venue instantly fell completely silent. Everyone's gaze focused entirely on the woman who looked as though she had walked out of a fairyland, unable to snap out of their daze for a long time. In their eyes, besides sheer envy, there was only that involuntary look of awe, with nothing else remaining.

Yingyue was dressed in a silver wedding gown with a deep V-neck design that gathered in pleats at the bodice, perfectly outlining the curve of her breasts and exposing her graceful cleavage, while further lengthening her already slender neck like that of a graceful swan. Her neck was entirely bare, making it look even cleaner. The gown featured a high-waisted design with a 20-centimeter-wide waistband that completely cinched her slender waist. At the waistline, countless tiny crushed diamonds were embedded, sparkling brilliantly under the sunlight like nighttime stars, dazzling to the eyes.

The hem of the skirt cascaded downward like the pleats at the bodice, though the skirt fell in irregular arcs, parting at the middle of her left leg and sweeping gracefully down toward the right leg in an arced drape. As she walked, it flowed like rolling ripples, with her left leg occasionally glimpsed within. On her feet were the same eye-catching silver high heels.

Yingyue's hair was not overly styled; a single crystal floral wreath rested atop her head. Her hair, as black and glossy as silk, was styled into large, enchanting, mesmerizing waves that rolled like a dark tide as she moved. Two strands of hair were pinned up at her temples, fully revealing her perfectly sculpted, doll-like face. Set within her fair, delicate face was a pair of bright violet eyes, radiating alluring charm. Below that was a dainty, refined nose of elegant height, and beneath the nose were soft pink cherry lips, currently curving into an intoxicating arc.

Far across at the other end of the rose-petal path, Arthur was dressed in a deep purple, well-tailored suit. His tall, slender figure exuded an elegant yet devilish aura, and his azure eyes sparkled brilliantly. From the moment Yingyue appeared, his gaze locked directly onto her, unable to move away. His rose-colored lips parted slightly in an arc of stunned admiration. The moment Yingyue cast her gaze toward him, the corners of his lips also curved into a captivating arc as he watched her walk toward him step by step.

After leading Yingyue out of 'Blue Seraph', Shilei handed her over to Xuanyuan Xuanjing, who escorted Yingyue toward Arthur.

It wasn't until Yingyue walked up to Arthur and stood before the priest that the crowd snapped out of their previous awe. Looking at the pair of destined lovers before the altar, gasps of admiration and praise rose wave upon wave.

"Oh my god, she's so beautiful! She looks like a Muse who stepped right out of Greek mythology!"

"Indeed, absolutely stunning! This is the most beautiful bride I've ever laid eyes on!"

"Yes, look at them! The groom and bride are not only a perfect match in terms of social standing, but even their aura and looks match each other completely!"

"Hey, why are you being so vulgar? Look into their eyes—deep affection is slowly flowing between them. If they weren't in love to the utmost limit, how could they wear such happy smiles? Even though the two of them are only smiling faintly, the pink aura between them is radiating so densely! Oh, I'm so envious of them!"

Meanwhile, Feng Qingquan, who had been frozen the moment he saw Yingyue, finally snapped out of his trance and muttered involuntarily, "Gosh, if I had such a beautiful bride, I'd willingly and gladly become a henpecked husband!"

Beside him, Xiahou Yu watched the scene unfold with a face full of smiles.

Finally, you've finally made it together. Bless you!

Elsewhere, in an unoccupied corner, stood an athletic figure in a black suit. A pair of ocean-blue eyes quietly observed everything. Then, seeing the groom take the bride's hand, the firm corners of his lips curled into a warm arc. He looked at the woman radiating happiness all around, uttered a quiet phrase in his heart, and then turned away, as silent as when he had arrived.

I wish you happiness!

Before the altar, Arthur took Yingyue's hand, drew her to his side, and then heard Xuanyuan Xuanjing say solemnly, "Arthur, I am handing her over to you."

With solemn sincerity, Arthur said to Xuanyuan Xuanjing, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of Yingyue."

Xuanyuan Xuanjing nodded, walked contentedly over to a chair on the side, and sat down, waiting for the priest's witness.
