Chapter 1091 - 1090: Seventy-Four

"Yes, I do," the bride said.

"Yes, I do," Xia Chuyi echoed.

Next came the ceremony of the exchange of rings between the bride and groom.

With the rings exchanged, the Holy Father declared, "Well, in the name of the Holy Spirit, Holy Father, and Saint Heir, I pronounce the bride and groom as husband and wife. Now, the groom may kiss the bride."

As the priest’s words ended, the bride and groom at the front began a passionate kiss.

Huo Shiqian also turned, lowered his head, and kissed his own bride—his bride-to-be.

Accompanied by the music, applause erupted in the church.

Not far away, Xiao Jingqi found her eyes suddenly moist with emotion.

With the kiss and applause both concluded, a warm and sweet wedding came to an end.

Xia Chuyi and the others didn’t know the bride and groom, so they left the church early before the guests dispersed.

After leaving the church, Huo Shiqian tightly held Xia Chuyi’s hand and said, "Chuyi, no matter what the future holds, I am willing to walk down this path with you."

Upon hearing this, a smile blossomed on Xia Chuyi’s face.

It was clear that her Uncle Liberation Army understood the reason she brought him here.

Whether in poverty or in wealth, in health or disease, they had to continue moving forward together.

Then, Xia Chuyi asked Huo Shiqian, "So, have you smoothed things over with my dad?"

Hearing this, Huo Shiqian’s expression stiffened slightly.

Feeling a bit uneasy, he replied, "Sincerity will break the hardest barrier, and since Lord Father-in-law has agreed to our engagement, marriage is only a matter of time."

Yes, whether sooner or later...

"Haven’t you considered that us getting married doesn’t necessarily require my dad’s approval?" Xia Chuyi said.

On hearing this, Huo Shiqian slightly frowned, gently tapped her nose, and said, "Nonsense."

"Of course, our marriage needs Father-in-law’s consent," Huo Shiqian said with certainty.

Xia Chuyi sighed inwardly.

Alas, she couldn’t help feeling that if they were to wait for her father’s approval, it might take forever.

Xia Chuyi’s eyes sparkled as she shook her head and thought: It seems she’d have to think of a way after returning to her country.

Despite her thoughts, Xia Chuyi didn’t say anything to Huo Shiqian but simply said, "Let’s go."

Thus, their tour of the church concluded.

However, halfway out, Xia Chuyi turned back to see where Xiao Jingqi was and found that Xiao Jingqi seemed to be crying?

Xia Chuyi paused for a moment and apologized to Huo Shiqian, "I’ll go check on Jingqi."

"Okay, go ahead," Huo Shiqian naturally didn’t stop her.

Once she reached Xiao Jingqi’s side, Xia Chuyi asked, "Jingqi, what’s wrong?"

Hearing this, Xiao Jingqi raised her head, her eyes rosy, and said, "Nothing, just a bit moved."

Upon hearing Xiao Jingqi’s words, Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but smile, hugging her and saying, "Alright, alright, it’s okay now."

"You, your emotions are just too abundant," Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but remark.

"I’m sorry..." Xiao Jingqi said.

Xia Chuyi patted her and said, "There’s nothing to apologize for, let’s go."

"Okay." Xiao Jingqi nodded.

Yet, after taking a couple of steps, Xiao Jingqi suddenly said to Xia Chuyi, "Senior Chuyi, what should I do if I like someone but he doesn’t like me back?"

"Ah?" Hearing this, Xia Chuyi paused for a moment, then thought to herself: No wonder this girl is so easily moved; she’s thinking of herself.
