The priest looked at He Xiyan and asked her the same question.

He Xiyan held her breath as she sensed everyone’s gaze on her. She was currently at the center of attention.

She took a deep breath, then turned toward the mic that the host held in his hand and said loudly, “I do!”

She then looked at her husband lovingly and her eyes even sparkled.

It was then time to exchange the rings and for the bride and groom to each make a speech and exchange a glass of wine, then cut the wedding cake… there was a series of things to do.

After every event, the guests would clap enthusiastically and the camera never strayed from the newly married couple, wanting to capture every romantic moment they shared.

The guests chatted and laughed amongst themselves and even the middle-aged women who had been mocking them earlier were now congratulating the newly married couple.

Many people took out their phones to take short video clips and pictures which they then uploaded to their WeChat Moments.

Soon, there were many video clips and pictures of the wedding uploaded online and the media also covered the wedding.

This elaborate wedding became a hot topic online.

——

Mo Yixuan sat listlessly in his office and held his head in one hand while he held his handphone with the other hand. The pictures from the wedding were plastered on his phone screen.

He had come across these pictures when he was browsing through his friends’ Moments. Many of his friends had uploaded photographs from the wedding and captioned these photographs with congratulatory messages. As he scrolled through his friends’ Moments, he saw hundreds of photographs from the wedding.

He looked dumbly at every single photograph as though his soul had left him. When he came across a photograph of them kissing on stage, he was finally unable to bear the pain and shut his dark eyes while his phone landed with a smack on his desk.

He cried.

His tears rolled uncontrollably down his pale face and landed on his white shirt while his heart felt as though it was being shredded into pieces. It was so painful that he had become numb to it.

Although he had already known that they would wed today, when he saw the photographs of their wedding, he was still unable to stop the pain and regret from welling up within him.

He saw the photographs and saw his ex-wife happily walking down the aisle with another man and also noticed the happiness and tenderness in her face.

He had never seen the same warmth and happiness reflected on her face when they were together and this was the first time he had seen her smile so happily.

They had also once held a wedding but the part that seemed to taunt him now was that it had been a simple ceremony and very few guests had attended. They had only invited close friends and relatives and there was no media coverage at all. He was rich enough to hold an elaborate ceremony but he couldn’t be bothered with a wedding back then and merely treated it as a task that he must fulfill. He hadn’t taken it seriously at all and didn’t make due preparations for it.

How laughable that his ex-wife was now wedded to another man in such an elaborate fashion. Her elaborate wedding seemed to mock his simple wedding ceremony.

He thought that she must have assumed that he didn’t love her. Otherwise, how could he have treated their wedding so nonchalantly?

Mo Yixuan felt his heart hurt. He felt extremely upset and regretful at the thought of their simple ceremony.

The door to his office opened.

Yang Mingyu walked in with a lunchbox that contained the lunch that their company cafeteria had specially prepared for Yixuan.

He could only eat soft foods since his discharge from the hospital so the chef at their company’s cafeteria had specially made congee and bone soup for him.
