Chapter 380: Gravitating To You
"Qian ng… this is the easiest and most difficult thing I have ever had to do," Mo Qingchen started without looking at the page. Qian ng wasn't sure if he was speaking what was on his mind or if he had read those pages so many tis that he knew them all by heart.
"To stand up here before our friends and family and marry you… I don't need to think about it for a second. I often find it hard to describe how much I love you. I don't think it is possible." He gulped and his eyes flitted to the paper in his hand.
Qian ng was sure that he didn't need to read off it.
"Yes, you are absolutely gorgeous…" He took a shuddering breath as he looked up at her. "And I am sure that I have seen your eyes shimr and move as the day progresses. You have the voice of a siren. No matter where I am. No matter if millions of people surround us and I can't find you. Your voice alone would stop and pull to you."
"You stun at every turn. Your face that needs not a drop of makeup, your fingers that bend tal and stones alike to create sothing new." He paused with intent. "But all of that could evaporate in an instant and I might not even notice. Because I have never been so attracted to anything as I am that beautiful mind of yours."
"The mind that makes you curious and funny and passionate. It makes you spontaneous. But most of all, I love your loyalty. You would do anything for your friends and family. And I am elated that I am part of your life."
"No matter how strong the world thinks I am, there have always been monts I have wavered. Monts I have considered that the gruelling days and bitter nights were not worth it, but in the end, you were there at the end of the darkness, bringing aning and sweetness to my life."
Qian ng felt moisture on her cheeks and quickly moved her fingers up to wipe off the traitorous tear that threatened to roll down her face. She was not in the slightest concerned about the caras. She was only unused to people seeing her cry.
In front of Mo Qingchen, it was okay. But others? It felt like a great weakness. She listened keenly to the words that slipped his mouth, her heart trembling at the intensity of his eyes on hers.
"Soone once asked who was the dominant one in our relationship. And you were so offended that I thought it was . I didn't tell you then, but I am only so strong in front of the world because I can stand straight with you as my backbone. I know for sure that even if I falter, you will prop up and push to greatness. You make want to push myself to greater heights."
Qian ng pressed back the sob that was stuck in her throat.
"I am bound to you. There is no looking away from the brilliance of you. The fact that your heart beats on this planet is enough. I am not a religious man, Qian ng, but for you, I am willing to bow down. I praise you and the universe which gave the opportunity to share my life with you."
He dipped his head as if to bow to her.
"You are the one thing that reminds to be good… to do what is right. You are my best friend and there is nothing that I won't do for you." He stopped. "You deserve the world and I can't wait to go get it with you."
A smile blood on his lips. "I love you."
He stopped. Qian ng, stunned, leaped at him and hugged him tightly. The people around them be damned, she needed to hold him close to make sure this was not all a dream.
From the woman who didn't want a wedding ceremony to the one stunned by his words, she had co a long way. He was eloquent and always knew what to say, but she… she was lost for words.
She could only show him, in her own capacity how much his words struck her. She could never compare with words…
Xiao Chen coughed from behind them. "I don't think this was part of the ceremony," he said awkwardly even though he was joking.
The crowd laughed, but it was low. They didn't want to ruin the mont for these two.
"Is this okay?" Xiao Chen teased.
Qian ng cleared the lump in her throat and pulled away. She slowly smothered the shirt she had hidden her face in and took a generous step back to keep herself from kissing Mo Qingchen silly.
"Qingchen… my scoundrel… husband…" she trailed off, jotting down everything she called him. "While I wrote these vows, I rembered sothing you said a while ago. Yes, I too think that I loved you even before I knew that there was a 'you'."
Mo Qingchen raised his brow in question.
"I have known Mo Qingchen all my life, but you… I found 'you'. I love wildness and freedom. I love the salt in my hair and the sand between my toes. I love that every day I spend is unknown to . I am not scared of it when I am with you. Because I can bravely face it with you on my side."
"You give everything that I wished for. I love the safety and excitent of a trip I didn't know about. I love the rawness of emotion in your eyes and words. They are unfiltered and unapologetic and I know that I am finally ho."
She looked at him with a teary smile.
"So, it would be wrong to say that I fell in love with you. No… I found a love that the universe had planned all along. I found everything I love in the strict man whom I never thought well of until I knew him. Until I knew you. You were perfectly there. Perfectly you."
