Chapter 834 The End of the Wedding and Gratitude
When the last firework dissipated in the night sky, the bright light turned into wisps of smoke and slowly merged into the darkness, as if the beautiful phantom of this dream wedding was slowly settling into the most precious treasure deep in memory. The sea breeze blew gently, carrying the unique salty and humid smell of the sea, gently stirring the hair of Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen, and also blowing away some of the smell of fireworks in the air, but it could not blow away the overflowing atmosphere of happiness lingering in the hearts of the guests and around the newlyweds.
The guests returned to the manor from the beach with satisfied smiles. Some of them walked in pairs, whispering about the touching moments of the wedding; some walked in groups of three or five, sharing their beautiful expectations for the couple's future life. Everyone's face still had the amazement and joy of watching the fireworks, and their eyes were shining with the light of witnessing this beautiful love. The children ran and played in front, holding the exquisite little gifts distributed at the wedding tightly in their hands, and their laughter added a bit of agility and vitality to this warm scene.
Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen stood hand in hand, quietly at the gate of the manor, like a beautiful painting. Their figures were stretched out slenderly under the interweaving of moonlight and the soft lights of the manor. The hem of Jiang Ciyou's wedding dress fluttered gently, and the tiny diamonds inlaid on it sparkled in the dim light, like stars scattered in the night sky, and set off against the dazzling crown on her head, making her look like a dream, as if she was a princess from a fairy tale, who had just ended a grand dream journey. Lu Jingchen had an upright posture, and a custom-made suit perfectly fit his broad shoulders and tight waist, highlighting his innate noble temperament. He slightly turned sideways, his eyes always gently falling on Jiang Ciyou, and the deep affection in his eyes seemed to be able to drown her. It was a man's most ardent and sincere attachment to his beloved woman.
Next to them, there were neatly arranged exquisite gift boxes. These gifts were the result of their careful preparation for several months, carrying their deep gratitude and blessings to every guest. The boxes were made of high-grade velvet material, which was soft and delicate to the touch, and the color was elegant champagne gold, which not only showed the luxurious style of the wedding, but also warm and romantic. The initials of Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen's names were printed on the box, presented with exquisite gold stamping technology, shining with golden light under the light, like a unique mark of love.
When you open the gift box, the first thing that comes into view is a piece of handmade chocolate. The chocolate is made into two connected hearts, symbolizing the love between the newlyweds. The raw materials of the chocolate are cocoa beans from the world's top producing areas. After being carefully roasted, ground and blended by master craftsmen, the chocolate has a mellow and smooth taste that melts in your mouth. The rich cocoa aroma spreads on the tip of your tongue, as if telling the sweetness and richness of this love. The chocolate is also dotted with edible gold foil, and the twinkling light adds a touch of luxury to this sweetness.
In addition, there is a small bottle of special perfume in the box. This perfume was prepared by Jiang Ciyou herself. She hopes that every guest will remember this wonderful night when they smell this unique fragrance. The top notes of the perfume are a blend of fresh citrus, elegant jasmine and quiet lily of the valley, just like the fresh and pleasant atmosphere at the beginning of the wedding, full of hope and longing; the middle notes are rich roses, elegant irises and mysterious sandalwood, just like the warm and deep love between the newlyweds during the wedding, intoxicating; the base notes end with warm amber, soft vanilla and calm cedar, just like the warmth and touch left in the hearts of the guests at the end of the wedding, which will last for a long time.
A thank-you card was thoughtfully prepared as a souvenir. The card was printed with the wedding photo of Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen. In the photo, they were smiling brightly and full of happiness. The inside of the card was written in neat and beautiful font: "Dear friends/relatives, thank you for witnessing the blossoming of love with us on this special day. Your arrival makes this wedding more perfect, and your blessing is the warmest power on our way forward. May this small thought bring you a moment of joy, and we look forward to spending a good time together in the future. - Jiang Ciyou & Lu Jingchen". Every word is full of their sincerity and gratitude, which makes people feel warm when reading it.
Jiang Ciyou bent down slightly, picked up a gift, and handed it to an old lady with gray hair and a kind smile. The old lady was a distant relative of Lu Jingchen's family. Although she was old, she heard the news of Lu Jingchen's marriage and still took the trouble to come to the wedding. Jiang Ciyou's eyes were full of respect and gratitude, and she said softly: "Grandma, we are really happy that you can come today. You have worked hard on this journey. This gift is a little gift from us. I hope you like it. Be sure to pay attention to safety on the way back." The old lady took the gift, looked at it carefully, and tears of emotion welled up in her eyes. She held Jiang Ciyou's hand with trembling hands and said: "Good boy, seeing you so happy, grandma is happy from the bottom of my heart. This wedding is so beautiful, just like a painting. You and Jingchen must live a good life for a long time." Jiang Ciyou's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded vigorously and said: "I definitely will, grandma, don't worry."
Lu Jingchen was not idle either. He shook hands with every guest and said goodbye enthusiastically, sincerely thanking them for coming. When he met several old classmates who came from other places, Lu Jingchen smiled and gave them a big hug, saying: "Brothers, long time no see! You came all the way to attend my wedding, I will remember this friendship. There were too many things to do at the wedding today, and I didn't have time to chat with you. When I come back from my honeymoon, let's find time to get together and have a good drink!" The classmates joked: "You kid, now that you have a family, you have to focus on it! But seeing how happy you are today, we are also happy for you. This souvenir is very exquisite, you must show it off to your brothers when you go back." Everyone laughed, and the laughter echoed in the night sky, dispelling some melancholy of parting.
A young lady brought a little girl to Jiang Ciyou and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang, this is my daughter. She likes you very much. When she saw you in your wedding dress today, her eyes widened and she kept saying that you looked like a fairy." The little girl shyly hid behind her mother, tightly holding a small flower picked from the wedding scene in her hand. After hearing what her mother said, she mustered up the courage to step forward and handed the small flower to Jiang Ciyou, saying in a baby voice: "Sister, you look so beautiful today. This flower is for you. I wish you and your brother happiness forever." Jiang Ciyou's heart melted instantly. She squatted down, gently stroked the little girl's head, took the flower, and said: "Thank you, "My little cutie, you are as beautiful as an angel. I like this flower very much and will treasure it." She picked up an exquisite crystal ornament from the table beside her and handed it to the little girl, "This is for you, as a gift from your sister, I hope you are happy every day." The little girl's eyes lit up, and she happily took the ornament and said, "Thank you, sister!" The lady looked at this scene and said to Jiang Ciyou with a smile, "Today's wedding is really unforgettable. It is not only romantic, but also full of your care. I wish you a son soon and live together forever." Jiang Ciyou stood up, hugged the lady gently, and said, "Thank you, and I wish you a happy life."
As the guests left one by one, the manor gradually became quiet. On the lawn that was originally bustling with activity, only the staff were left quietly cleaning up the venue. The tables and chairs were neatly stacked, the tableware was carefully put into boxes, and the petals and ribbons on the ground were also swept away. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, as if to put a perfect and neat end to this grand wedding.
Jiang Ciyou and Lu Jingchen looked at the empty manor, feeling a myriad of emotions in their hearts. This wedding was like a carefully crafted love epic. Every chapter and every detail was filled with their hard work and affection, and it also embodied the love and support of countless relatives and friends. Jiang Ciyou's eyes were moist, and she said with a slightly choked voice: "Jingchen, if it weren't for everyone today, this wedding wouldn't be so perfect. Everyone has given so much for us, and I really don't know how to repay them." Lu Jingchen gently hugged her in his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said gently: "I know, Ciyou. They all came here because they love us, and they took the trouble to send us the most sincere blessings. We will always remember this friendship in our hearts. In the days to come, we must cherish each other more, cherish this hard-earned happiness, and give them back with our love."
Jiang Ciyou nodded gently in Lu Jingchen's arms, and she recalled every detail of the wedding preparations. Those days when she and her besties picked wedding dresses and discussed wedding details, their besties always gave her advice without reservation and accompanied her through every anxious moment; and Lu Jingchen's brothers, in order to make the pre-wedding party more lively and interesting, started planning the program several weeks in advance, running around; not to mention the parents of both parties, who not only gave strong financial support, but also gave endless encouragement and comfort spiritually, worrying about every aspect of the wedding. Along the way, everyone's figure is so clear, and every help is like a beam of warm light, illuminating their path to happiness.
Lu Jingchen gently let go of Jiang Ciyou, held her shoulders with both hands, looked at her firmly, and said: "Ciyou, from today on, we are a real family. No matter what ups and downs we encounter in the future, we must go hand in hand and never leave each other. Just like we promised at the wedding, I will use my life to protect you and make you happy forever." Jiang Ciyou raised her head, tears flashing in her eyes, but she was very determined. She said: "Me too, Jingchen. I will always be by your side, supporting you and accompanying you, and we will create a beautiful future for us together."
The two held hands and turned to their new home deep in the manor. The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on them, coating them with a layer of silver light. Along the way, they recalled everything since they met, including laughter, tears, quarrels, and reconciliation, but every moment became the most precious cornerstone of their love. Now, standing at a new starting point, their hearts are full of expectations and longings for their future life.
Pushing open the door of the new home, the house was warm and cozy. Soft light shone through the crystal chandelier, illuminating the beautifully decorated living room. On the sofa were several pillows embroidered with their initials, which were hand-picked by Jiang Ciyou. On the wall hung their wedding photos, and the smiles in the photos seemed to dispel all the haze. On the coffee table was a bouquet of fresh roses, with crystal water droplets on the petals, exuding bursts of fragrance. That was prepared by Lu Jingchen in advance, just to give Jiang Ciyou a surprise when she returned home.
Jiang Ciyou walked into the living room, looked around, and was moved. Every item here carries their love and expectations for the future. She knows that this will be their new harbor for a happy life. Lu Jingchen hugged her gently from behind and whispered in her ear: "Welcome home, Ciyou." Jiang Ciyou turned around, put her arms around Lu Jingchen's neck, took the initiative to give him a sweet kiss, and said: "Where you are, is home."
After hugging each other for a moment, the two began to sort out the gifts received at the wedding together. There were exquisite porcelain, precious calligraphy and paintings, practical household items, and letters full of affectionate blessings. They examined these gifts one by one, and each one made them feel the guests' care. Jiang Ciyou picked up a letter from a childhood friend. The letter recalled the interesting things they had experienced when they grew up together, and teased her that she had finally found her happy home. Between the lines were blessings and envy for her. Jiang Ciyou couldn't help laughing as she read. She said to Lu Jingchen, "Look, everyone is so happy for us." Lu Jingchen smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, we must cherish these memories."
After sorting out the gifts, Jiang Ciyou felt a little tired. After all, she had experienced too much joy and touching moments that day, and her body and mind were in a highly excited state. Lu Jingchen looked at her distressedly and said, "You must be tired. I'll run you a bath and relax." Jiang Ciyou nodded, her heart full of warmth. After a while, the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Lu Jingchen also thoughtfully lit an aromatherapy candle by the bathtub. The faint lavender fragrance spread, making people relax physically and mentally.
Jiang Ciyou walked into the bathroom, took off her gorgeous wedding dress, and slowly stepped into the bathtub. The warm water wrapped around her body, as if all her fatigue was washed away at this moment. She leaned against the edge of the bathtub, closed her eyes, and recalled everything that happened that day. From the nervousness and anticipation when she got up in the morning, to the solemnity and touching moments of the wedding ceremony, to the joy and warmth of the wedding banquet, every scene was so clear, as if a never-ending movie was playing in her mind. And the protagonists of this movie are her and Lu Jingchen. They wrote the most moving piece of music with love and played the prelude to a happy life.
Lu Jingchen knocked on the door gently and asked, "Ciyou, do you want me to get you something to drink?" Jiang Ciyou opened his eyes and said with a smile, "No, you're tired after a day, go to bed early." Lu Jingchen said, "Okay, then take a shower and go to bed early, I'll wait for you in the room." Jiang Ciyou felt warm in his heart and said, "I see, you too."
After taking a shower, Jiang Ciyou changed into comfortable pajamas and walked into the bedroom. Lu Jingchen was already lying on the bed, leaving half of the space for her. The bedside lamp emitted a soft light, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Jiang Ciyou gently climbed onto the bed and lay down beside Lu Jingchen. Lu Jingchen naturally held her in his arms, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
In her dream, Jiang Ciyou seemed to be back at the wedding. She wore a white wedding dress, holding Lu Jingchen's arm, and walked down the red carpet to a happy future amid the blessings of the guests. Lu Jingchen also held Jiang Ciyou's hand tightly in his dream, as if he was afraid that if he let go, all this beauty would disappear. Their smiles in the dream were as sweet as in reality, because they knew that when the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the window, a new life would officially begin. They would carry this love and gratitude, walk hand in hand through every spring, summer, autumn and winter, and write their own love legend.
