Chapter 296 I Will Hold Your Hands and Share My Life with You

Yi Yunrui quietly looks at Xia Ning tenderly for quite a while. Then, he holds her hand and says, “Ning, this is not a normal dress.”

Xia Ning feels her heart jump. Her face turns redder.

“Ah. It is too sweet to hear. We may leave you alone.” Li Baoer winks at Gu Ruoruo.

“Hum. Yes. We may leave for now…”

“Wait!” Xia Ning stops them at once, “It, it is just a trying on of the wedding gown. Thank you for sending it here.”

“We are friends. Don’t mention it.” Li Baoer holds Xia Ning’s hand, “Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, you and Commander Yi is going to have the wedding ceremony.”

Xia Ning smiles to nod.

They chat for a little while about the arrangement of the wedding banquet. Li Baoer and Gu Ruoruo leave. The white wedding gown is hung on the wall. Xia Ning feels her heart beat rapidly with every glimpse of it.

They have been married for over three years, but she still feels as if she is just going to marry. She can’t expect the ceremony more.

It is around eleven in the evening when the nurse sends them some hot milk which Yi Yunrui asked for. Xia Ning drinks the hot milk and falls asleep very soon.

This night, she sleeps very well.

When she wakes up, Yi Yunrui is not on the bed.

Xia Ning is shocked so badly that she almost jumps up.

Then she sees a note in on the bed. It is a long message. It is written by Yi Yunrui.

On one day three years ago, I encountered a woman, who made me understand the definition of happiness. I have been with her for forty months and become the happiest man in the world. I at that time made such a sudden confession that she might regard me as an unreliable man. However, this woman is brave and tenacious. I have been always admiring her.

I love her very much, much more than for only this life!

However, I owe her a promise. If she sees this note, I hope she will have the breakfast I have prepared and open the door to welcome all that I have arranged for her.

Ning, please give me the chance to take care of all your life.

Yi Yunrui

Xia Ning reads the note. She feels so moved that her hands tremble. She glances at the warm breakfast on the table. It is prepared by Yi Yunrui!

God. He has not recovered from his injury yet!

When did he leave last night? She slept soundly last night. She has no idea at what time he left!

Xia Ning has breakfast in a hurry and opens the door.

Outside the ward, Zhang Hai has been waiting for her. But Zhang Hai puts on a ceremonial suit today. He bows to Xia Ning politely, “Mrs. Yi, the commander is waiting for you in the hall.”

Yi Yunrui has gone to the hall?

Xia Ning feels surprised. At the time, a man walks towards her. He looks overwhelmingly powerful.

He is Mr. Dai Zhen.

“Ning.” Mr. Dai Zhen says, “Today, can I be your witness representing your father?”

Xia Ning feels greatly shocked.

Surprisingly, Army Commander Dai Zhen shows up in person in the hospital!

Both her parents passed away. Her only family, her grandmother also died years ago. She is thinking about whose hand she is going to hold when she walks on the red carpet…

Tears blur her eyes. Xia Ning trembles her lips to respond, “Mr. Dai, thank you…”

“Call me uncle!” Mr. Dai Zhen says seriously in a deep voice.

Xia Ning takes a deep breath and nods, “Hum. Uncle, Uncle Dai.”

The first stop is the military compound.

In the bedroom in the military compound, Li Baoer, Gu Ruoruo and other girls are waiting. They see Xia Ning and go to dress her up. It takes over an hour for them to finish dressing up Xia Ning.

Mr. Dai Zhen is there smiling to look at the girls busy making preparation. He looks very happy.

It is as if he is looking at his biological niece’s wedding.

The second stop is an open-air banquet in an international hotel.

The banquet hall has been well prepared. There are many guests. Almost all the famous people are present. It looks so solemn that Xia Ning feels a little nervous all of a sudden.

It seems that Yi Yunrui is announcing the wedding to people all over the world.

Once the bride shows up, the hall gets hot. Xia Ning hears a lot of cheers and praises. Some kids even cry out, “Wow, the bride is very beautiful!”

The bride comes. All the guests take the initiative to sit down at their seats and the music is sounded.

Then, Xia Ning sees Yi Yunrui standing on the other end of the red carpet. He dresses in a white ceremonial suit.

He was seriously injured. But at this moment, he doesn’t seem to get any hurt.

He looks very handsome and bright, standing at the other end of the path.

Mr. Dai Zhen lifts his hand and calls, “Ning.”

Xia Ning takes a deep breath to calm down her heart which tends to go out of her chest. She holds Mr. Dai’s arm.

Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui look at each other. At the moment, time seems to stop. They hear no noise around them at all, as if they were the only two persons in the world.

Yi Yunrui’s heart beats faster. He has fought with his life for many times, but he has never been as nervous as now. He clenches his hand. He looks at her, dressing in white, walking from the other end of the carpet to him. Smile climbs up to his serious face.

Xia Ning carries the bouquet. She walks slowly towards Yi Yunrui. The man, tall and strong, will surely be able to hold the sky and the ground for her!

“Bang!”

Xia Ning enters the flower door and the colorful ribbons fly up. Xia Ning feels her eyes blurred. Then, she is drawn back to consciousness. It is the reality. Guests around her give out loud claps!

Xia Ning holds Mr. Dai Zhen’s arm. She smiles more easily. She walks more decisively towards Yi Yunrui.

From the flower door to the platform, it is only tens of meters in distance. However, at this moment, it looks so far away. Yi Yunrui feels as if he had been waiting for an entire century. Then, Mr. Dai Zhen takes Xia Ning’s hand and puts it on Yi Yunrui’s palm.

Yi Yunrui holds her hand tightly. He stares at her sincerely. Today, Ning, his wife … is very beautiful…

She is so beautiful that he fails to describe it with words. He feels as if what is happening now could only exist in fairy tales.

Then, everyone cheers and cries, “Kiss her. Kiss her!”

Yi Yunrui realizes that he is not the only one who has this impulse.

He turns to his lovely wife and says slowly, “Close your eyes.”

Xia Ning feels sweet. His hands are on her waist. She slowly closes her eyes.

The kiss seems to last forever…

She doesn’t know how long later when Yi Yunrui reluctantly lets go of her. He looks at her pink lips and smiles tenderly.

The host sees that. He says directly, “It seems that the bride and the groom can’t wait further. We may skip the complicated procedures. Let’s invite them to the platform. Shall we?”

“Yes!” People cheer, “Hold the bride! Hold the bride!”

Xia Ning is shocked to hear this, “No. Rui, you are injured…Wow!”

Xia Ning has not finished her words, when Yi Yunrui reaches to hold her at the waist. Xia Ning stops him at once, “Rui, put me down. You still have wound there…”

“Don’t worry.” Yi Yunrui speaks by her ear, “Even if I get more seriously injured, I can still hold you.”

All the guests see them and they can’t help standing up and warmly clapping.

Yi Yunrui holds Xia Ning to the platform. The huge screen plays the record of their daily life. It is warm, happy and sweet.

Yi Yunrui seems unwilling to put down Xia Ning. He holds her for quite a while before he puts her down and at once holds her hand tightly.

“Today, with the witness of all the people here, the groom should make a sincere confession to the bride. Do you agree?” The host says and turns his microphone to the guests.

“Yes!”

“Make a sincere confession!”

The guests cry happily.

Xia Ning hears the cheers from the audience. She feels her heart going to jump out of her chest.

A sincere confession…seriously?

She feels excited enough to have him stand by her side. If he makes a sincere confession…

Yi Yunrui smiles. He gently lifts his hand and guests all turn to quiet.

Yi Yunrui stares at her wife’s eyes tenderly and says sincerely word by word, “Ning, thank you for putting on this wedding gown for me. I am an army man. I don’t know romance very well. I seldom have time to stay with you. Even when I am with you, you may need to withstand some worries and fears. However, today, in front of all people here, please allow me to give you my promise. I promise that I will always be with you all my life. I will company you and protect you. I will experience all four seasons of every year with you. I will hold your hand and share my life with you.

Yi Yunrui’s confession is brief and short. Xia Ning’s eyes turn red. She takes some deep breaths and tries hard to prevent tearing. However, how can a happy smile be hidden? Xia Ning looks at Yi Yunrui’s intense and sincere eyes. She forcefully nods.

“I will hold your hands and share my life with you.”

The wedding ceremony goes on smoothly. Considering that Yi Yunrui is injured. They skip a lot of procedures.

The last step is throwing the bouquet. It is unknown whether God decides it or it is just a coincidence that Gu Ruoruo catches the bouquet.

“Ruoruo.”

Gu Ruoruo is still excited when Yi Yunyi kneels on one knee towards her in front of all the guests.

Everyone cheers.

Yi Yunyi takes out a ring he prepared in advance. He says to Gu Ruoruo who feels surprised, “Ruoruo, we are greatly different in age, but, Dear, age is not a problem. I love you. Will you marry me?”

Yi Yunyi proposes all of a sudden. Gu Ruoruo is shocked blankly. She can’t speak a word for quite a while.

Yi Yunyi kneels there, staring at Gu Ruoruo and waiting patiently.

“Say yes!”

Someone in the crowd shouts and everyone follows him, “Say yes!” “Ruoruo, marry him!” “Girl, the uncle is waiting. Say yes. Don’t keep him kneeling.”

The voices of the guests get louder and louder. Gu Ruoruo’s face turns red to her neck. She looks at Yi Yunyi’s sincere eyes. She feels shy and turns her face away. However, her hand consciously takes over the ring from Yi Yunyi.

What Gu Ruoruo does leads to a new round of cheers and waves of clapping.

Yi Yunyi feels great relief in his heart. He stands up and hugs Gu Ruoruo to give her a forcefully kiss, “My dear wife, don’t worry. I will love you all my life.”
