Looking at the two crying siblings, Shen Liangchuan’s expression turned serious.
He looked at Qiao Yi and said, “I am giving you and our late Dad my word today. All my life, I will be true to her. I will not let her down.”
These words fell with great weight.
He then turned to look at Qiao Lian.
Qiao Yi nodded and took a step backward. Shen Liangchuan supported Qiao Lian by her hand as, one step at a time, they walked onto the stage.
After the young couple had taken their place on the stage, it was time for Xia Yehua to walk down the red carpet for the second time in her life. With Li Mao taking her hand, the second couple took their place on stage.
It was Shen Zihao who gave his mother away to Li Mao.
The two married couples stood on the stage as the emcee hosted the occasion.
They had chosen touching background music to accompany Xia Yehua and Li Mao’s story.
A photo storyline of the two of them appeared on the big screen. There was also a video.
The video was a collection of well wishes from the couple’s good friends.
The guests applauded as they watched the video with good wishes, showing support towards the couple’s late-blooming romance.
Xia Yehua was moved to tears, whereas Li Mao grinned broadly, looking much like a fool rather than the sharp businessman that he normally was.
Finally Xia Yehua spoke, “We are both old and it’s not our first wedding. The stars today are actually my son and daughter-in-law. I am fortunate to be sharing this joyous occasion with my daughter-in-law. I don’t think it’s an experience most of you will have, hahaha. So now I, the old folk, will take a step back while I hand the spotlight over to them.”
With this, she hitched up her long gown and walked down from the stage with Li Mao.
Now there were only Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan on the stage.
The moment Xia Yehua left the stage, Qiao Lian found herself at a loss. Seeing that Shen Liangchuan was silent, she realized this was a part of the plan.
She understood Xia Yehua’s intentions.
After the gossip news had created a storm on the internet, she now wanted a low profile wedding. She didn’t wish to make the headlines again.
She had even wanted to just get the marriage certificate without a wedding ceremony. She had only agreed to the joint event only after much persuasion by Qiao Lian and Xia Nuannuan.
But she was so quiet about it that one would have not noticed her involvement.
Of course, Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan could not force her.
Hence after the older couple had gone off stage, only Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan were left standing there.
Looking at the both of them, the emcee said, “There is in fact a story behind the two of them. Everyone, please watch the big screen.”
Qiao Lian raised her head curiously to look at the screen, wondering what sort of video Shen Liangchuan had put together.
Unexpectedly, what flashed on the screen was…
An advertisement.
It was the Lot advertisement that she had filmed.
It was Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu’s advertisement!
This advertisement had never been released after filming, so Qiao Lian had thought that they had canceled it. Never in her imagination would she have thought that it would make its debut broadcast here and now.
After filming the advertisement, she had not seen the final product and now…
The first scene was the first meeting between Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu. This was followed by scenes of their subsequent meetings, till at the end, they were fighting back-to-back on the battlefield.
