Chapter 426: Wiping Away the Lipstick from the Mouth
Ling Tao handed Ling Tianya to Ruan Zeyan. He stood on the side and cast a final, deep look at his daughter. Besides being a little reluctant, his face also portrayed an unspeakable pride.
His daughter was just that outstanding, just that beautiful, just that much better than anyone else. His Yaya was able to confidently marry Ruan Zeyan. She was worth the love of the greatest man in the world.
Ling Tao walked off the stage, eyes brimming with unshed tears.
At this moment, Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya stood on a dreamlike crystal stage, the crystals reflecting all sorts of colors. The spotlight shone on the couple and petals fell around them like the spring rain. The two people on the stage were like the fairytale prince and princess.
The guests below the stage were all mesmerized, unable to tear their eyes away from the stage.
The MC stood on the side of the dance floor and, with a crystal clear voice, said, “Will you, Mr. Ruan Zeyan, take Ms. Ling Tianya to be your wedded wife? To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, to love and to cherish and remain loyal to her for as long as you will live?”
Ruan Zeyan gazed at Ling Tianya. “I do.”
The MC continued to ask. “Will you, Ms. Ling Tianya, take Mr. Ruan Zeyan to be your wedded husband? To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, to love and to cherish and remain besides him for as long as you will live?”
Ling Tianya nodded. “I do.”
Following the two “I do”s the audience erupted with applause.
The MC smiled. “Next, let us welcome our beautiful maid of honor up to deliver the wedding rings to our newlyweds, which will signify their devotion to each other.”
Ruan Zeyan had proposed to Ling Tianya with a diamond ring the size of a pigeon’s egg. However, their wedding ring was elegant, yet simple. Their names were engraved on the underside of the rings.
Yu Luoluo carefully carried the ring up, handed them to Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan, and then left the stage.
After the two had exchanged rings, the crystal stage suddenly lit up and golden fireworks shot up from the four corners.
The MC happily shouted, “Groom, you may now kiss your bride!”
Seemingly waiting for this very moment, Ruan Zeyan, without any hesitation, swiftly pulled Ling Tianya into his embrace. With one hand grabbing ahold of her chin and the other one wrapping around her waist, he swooped down to kiss her.
At this moment, a thunderous applause erupted from the audience once again.
Not far off, Gu Zhiqian had a cigarette between his fingers and he lightly applauded. He snuffed out the cigarette, his head hanging down, as if he was having trouble controlling his emotions. When he lifted his head once again, his eyes were clear and bright.
Mandy stood at the very end of the line of the numerous bridesmaids. Her line of sight was blocked by the people before her, so she couldn’t see the situation on stage. However, she could clearly hear the applause around her, which to her seemed extremely ear-piercing.
Ruan Zeyan’s kiss was forceful, as if he wanted to embed Ling Tianya into his body. This was probably the only time in which Ruan Zeyan would be able to publicly kiss Ling Tianya without her rejecting it.
After the long and powerful kiss, Ling Tianya felt as if her tongue and lips were tingling. Her lipstick was practically all eaten by Ruan Zeyan and most of it was left on his lips.
Red-faced, Ling Tianya helped Ruan Zeyan wipe off the lipstick on his lips. This action caused an outbreak of laughter from the audience.
