Chapter 797: Chapter 795: She Holds His Hand_1
When he spoke, Lu Yichuan also glanced at him.
After their gazes t, both n’s eyes quickly fell on Cheng Youyou, their expressions clearly saying, ‘Aren’t you going to introduce us?’
Catching the hint, Cheng Youyou hurriedly introduced them to each other.
Once she was finished, Lu Yichuan spoke up and extended his hand, “Since you’re Youyou’s brother, you’re also my brother from now on. Nice to et you.”
“Nice to et you.” Cheng Mo shook hands with him briefly.
Both n seed to disdain each other, releasing their grip in less than half a second as if the other’s hand was dirty.
Hmph!
If it weren’t for the sake of appearances, who would want to shake hands with a rival in love?
That was the inner drama of the two n at that mont.
After several seconds of silence, Cheng Mo tightened his jaw and narrowed his eyes in a warning to Lu Yichuan, “Take good care of my sister. If you dare to bully her, I will never let you off!”
Since she loved him, he had no choice but to endure the pain and let her chase her own happiness.
But if he dared to mistreat her, don’t bla him for stealing her back one day!
“I cherish her too much to ever think about bullying her!” Lu Yichuan lifted his lips, wrapped his arm around the girl’s shoulder, and promised.
Seeing them getting cozy again, Cheng Mo felt the uncomfortable feeling surge in his heart. He pinched his fingers and turned to leave, “I hope you rember what you said today. I have to go now.”
He walked away quickly, his steps faintly trembling.
He was afraid!
He feared that if he stayed any longer, he did not know what he might end up doing!
Lu Yichuan watched his retreating figure, not forgetting to throw in a final comnt, “Brother, rember to co to our wedding.”
“…”
After he vanished from sight, Lu Yichuan looked down at the girl in front of him.
He kept silent and just stared at her with his piercing and coercive eyes.
Cheng Youyou felt a tingling sensation on her scalp from his gaze. Unable to stand it any longer, she finally asked, “Why are you staring at like that?”
“Don’t you have anything you want to say to ?”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Youyou thought seriously and then decisively shook her head, “…Nope!”
What was she supposed to say?
Lu Yichuan frowned and tapped her lightly, reminding her, “Your ‘brother’ with no blood relation likes you.”
He spoke with certainty.
Obviously, he had realized it just now.
As n, how could they not understand each other’s thoughts?
Cheng Youyou imdiately understood, then tilted her head up to gaze at him with a hint of a smile, “Are you jealous?”
“Yeah, I’m jealous. You owe a compensation now.”
She asked, “How should I compensate you?”
He replied, “Kiss ! No, one kiss is too little, make it a lifeti instead.”
“…”
On the day of the wedding, guests gathered in droves.
The wedding took place by the seaside.
The azure sky and the sparkling sea rged into a single line, with pink and purple balloons swaying gently in the wind.
Cheng Youyou, in her white wedding dress, walked down the red carpet arm in arm with her brother Cheng Mo.
With Mr. Cheng in prison, only her brother Cheng Mo was there to give her away.
As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father.
The wedding march played lodiously through the air.
Bride Cheng Youyou, with a smile on her lips, walked step by step toward the groom, who was staring at her from the end of the aisle.
When they reached the end, Cheng Mo took a deep breath and solemnly yet reluctantly handed Cheng Youyou’s hand over to him, “Take good care of my sister.”
“I will,”
Lu Yichuan promised, holding Cheng Youyou’s hand tightly, as if never wanting to part for a lifeti.
Cheng Mo lingered with a final greedy gaze upon her face, then turned and left as if finding so release.
After the sacred vows were made, Lu Yichuan lowered his gaze and kissed Cheng Youyou’s cheek.
“Wife, I am truly happy.”
The story of Yichuan and Youyou’s extra chapter ends.
The following begins the ancient story of Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli.
As their children each began to establish their own families, Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli were blessed with daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, granddaughters, grandsons, granddaughters-in-law, and grandsons-in-law.
Then ca great-granddaughters and great-grandsons.
And great-great-granddaughters and great-great-grandsons.
In a flash, the couple had reached their nineties.
They had aged, their hair now white, their faces etched with the wrinkles of ti.
Xia Ningxing hadn’t dyed her hair, letting the years gradually turn her black hair white. She raised her no longer nimble hands and clumsily plaited her hair into a simple braid.
Afterwards, she let the braid hang carelessly in front of her chest.
She lowered her gaze, looking at the old woman in the mirror.
Even though ti had treated her gently, the unavoidable signs of aging—a deteriorating body—were still impossible to avoid.
Wrinkles, sagging skin, and even a few age spots.
But even so, her features were still breathtaking, revealing the eyebrows of her youth.
Her aura, brewed over the years, was as imposing as that of an Empress Dowager from ancient tis.
Xia Ningxing extended her hand, picking out a lipstick from the vanity, and applied it to herself.
She might have aged, but she also wanted to be a refined elderly lady!
With the application of the lipstick, her sowhat pale lips were suddenly tinged with a noble, cool burgundy, instantly making her aged face look several years younger.
Around her neck, she wore a gemstone necklace, the understated silver-white carrying a low-key, tranquil air.
She had an important task for the day.
She was going back to her hotown with Lu Tingli, back to the place they had first t to take a look.
When you get old, you inexplicably beco nostalgic.
Xia Ningxing smiled bitterly.
Lu Tingli ca over, his back slightly hunched, “Are you ready? It’s ti to go.”
The once formidable man had also aged.
His hair had turned white, and his face was now lined with wrinkles and marks of old age.
Xia Ningxing looked at him and still thought he was dashing.
She took his hand.
The last ones to go to Peach Blossom Village were them, along with Lu Yichuan, Cheng Youyou, the Muxia and Nianxia sisters, as well as their husbands and children.
A large group of people set off, filling five cars.
Today’s Peach Blossom Village was no longer as impoverished as before; each household had built a small villa, and the once muddy country lanes had been paved into smooth concrete roads.
Xia Ningxing stepped out of the car and raised her slightly blurred vision, looking around as if searching for sothing.
The grandchildren blinked their big eyes curiously and asked, “Grandma, what are you looking for?”
Supporting herself on her cane, Xia Ningxing took a breath and said, “Children, Grandma is looking for the place where I once lived.”
Although their ho had long been demolished, she couldn’t help wanting to take a look.
But it had been so long that she could barely rember the exact location.
Lu Tingli slowly ca to her side, steadying her shoulder and with a stooped back, he pointed to a spot, “You silly old woman, isn’t our ho right there?”
He pointed toward the smooth concrete road nearby.
Yes, that position was exactly where their ho used to be.
