Chapter 64

Moonlight filtered through the half‑closed curtains, falling on Su Qian's body, adding a touch of coolness to the spacious room.

She sat quietly, holding a cup of tea that had long gone cold, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation and faint worry.

Now her son has finally found his other half, making Su Qian both relieved and emotional.

She understood she should be happy for her son's happiness, yet at the same time she felt deep shame for her own absence.

Just then, Su Qian felt her shoulder being embraced.

"Isn't it a happy thing that your son found a daughter‑in‑law? Why do you look like this?"

The visitor was naturally Jiang Heng, who, upon returning, saw his wife like that and felt puzzled.

She had just been chatting happily with her daughter‑in‑law; how could they have fallen out after only a little while?

That's not a good thing.

Jiang Heng's mind went wild with speculation.

With her shoulder embraced, Su Qian naturally rested her head on Jiang Heng's shoulder.

Su Qian: "Husband, I feel ashamed."

"Ashamed? Why?"

Jiang Heng was quite puzzled.

"I feel I've let Xing'er down; I'm ashamed that I've been in seclusion for so many years, not accompanying him, and now Xing'er has found a wife and is even about to have a child."

Jiang Heng never expected his wife to be upset about this, and he instantly laughed.

Su Qian glared at Jiang Heng: "You're still laughing?"

Jiang Heng then restrained his smile and comforted her: "You're overthinking it; we went into seclusion, we didn't abandon Xing'er, and he can understand us."

……

Inside Cai Lin's room.

Cai Lin wore a light‑purple nightgown tonight, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders, moonlight streaming in from outside and casting a soft glow over her face.

At this moment she was leaning against Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.

"Mother suddenly emerged from seclusion; why didn't you tell me?"

Cai Lin said reproachfully.

Regarding the arrival of Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's parents today, Cai Lin truly had no mental preparation whatsoever and was nervous to death.

"What? Mother suddenly appeared, frightening the Queen?"

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing joked.

"Hmph!"

"I only found out they had just left seclusion when I went to see Grandfather."

Seeing Cai Lin like that, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing stopped teasing her.

"Don't worry; Mother actually likes you quite a bit—today she didn't even say that much to me."

Having rolled together countless times, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing could roughly guess what Cai Lin was thinking, and he spoke to comfort her.

"Mm."

"Cai Lin."

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing called out Cai Lin's name.

"Huh?"

Cai Lin lifted her head in confusion, looking at Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.

"Cai Lin, since your parents have left seclusion, let's hold a wedding."

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing had long regarded Cai Lin as his wife; they hadn't held a wedding then only because his parents were in seclusion.

Now that his parents have emerged from seclusion and Cai Lin is pregnant, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing naturally wants to make up the wedding for her.

Hearing Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's words, Cai Lin was stunned for a moment.

When Cai Lin was with the Snake People Clan, she had already asked Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing whether he would marry her.

At that time Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing gave the reason that his parents were in seclusion; Cai Lin felt a little disappointed but soon forgot about it.

Now Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's parents have just left seclusion, and Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing proposes to hold a wedding for her.

Cai Lin never expected Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing to have remembered this all along; she was moved to the point of being speechless.

Cai Lin looked at Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing before her, her tears sparkling with a crystal‑clear light in the moonlight.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing smiled faintly and gently wiped away her tears with his hand.

Cai Lin felt the warmth of Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's fingertips, and her emotion deepened.

She lifted her head, gazing into Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's eyes, which shone with a determined light.

"Good!"

Looking at Cai Lin, whose eyes still held a trace of tears yet whose face bore an exquisite smile.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was also stunned; he lowered his head slightly and lightly kissed Cai Lin's lips.

Cai Lin also closed her eyes, feeling Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's warmth.

At this moment, their hearts were tightly connected, as if the whole world had stilled.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Tears of joy welled up again at the corners of Cai Lin's eyes; she knew she had finally found the person worthy of entrusting her life to.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing also carefully held Cai Lin in his arms.

At this moment, he possessed the whole world.

……

The next day, Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing informed his parents and grandfather of his plan to hold a wedding with Cai Lin.

As close relatives of Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing, the three were naturally delighted upon hearing the news, and all decided to prepare a grand and splendid wedding for them.

The Jiang Family first selected an experienced wedding planner, and together they discussed the details and arrangements of the wedding.

Finally, an auspicious date was chosen as the wedding date for Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing and Cai Lin.

Then Jiang Heng and Su Qian began preparing the venue and decorations for the wedding.

The wedding was naturally held at the Jiang Family estate; under Su Qian's supervision, the servants filled the courtyard with flowers and greenery, creating a romantic and beautiful atmosphere.

To make his son and daughter-in-law's wedding more splendid, Jiang Cheng specially invited some sect masters and elders from Zhongzhou who were on good terms with them.

Su Qian meticulously checked every detail to ensure the wedding proceedings and ceremony went smoothly. He also prepared a generous dowry and gifts for his son and daughter-in-law to express his blessings and hopes for them.

The wedding of the grandson of a Six-star Dou Sheng powerhouse naturally caused quite a stir in Zhongzhou.

The forces in eastern Zhongzhou, upon hearing the news that Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing was to marry, all felt it a pity.

Although Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing often came to challenge them, giving them headaches.

But as the sole grandson of a Six-star Dou Sheng, every faction wished to marry their daughters to Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing.

Now that Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing has announced his marriage, it means they have no chance—how could they not feel regret?

……

Wedding day.

Before the mansion's gate, red lanterns hung high, filling the air with joy. Auspicious beasts and floral decorations were placed on both sides, immersing the entire estate in a festive atmosphere.

Guests arrived one after another; those invited by the Jiang Family naturally had extraordinary backgrounds, wearing splendid robes, holding exquisite gifts, and wearing smiles of blessing.

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing's family and servants bustled among the guests, pouring wine and tea and guiding them to their seats. In the mansion's courtyard, the sound of zithers lingered, dancers in colorful robes swayed gracefully, presenting a splendid performance for the guests.

As the wedding was about to begin, those performances also ended.

"Quick, look! Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing has come out!"

Character: Character: Character: Jiang Xing wore a deep red brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, a gold crown on his head, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his heroic aura striking; his face beamed with a happy smile.

"Hehe, the little demon king looks truly imposing in his red wedding attire—quite a handsome fellow!"

An elder stroked his beard, his eyes flashing with appreciation.

"Wow! Quick, look, the bride has come out!"
