The wedding officiant turned to He Ming first and asked, âMr. He Ming, do you take this beautiful Miss Ye Xiaomeng to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?â
He Ming looked at Ye Xiaomeng and returned to his usual self as he answered seriously, âI do.â
Hearing He Mingâs answer, the crowd instantly burst into thunderous applause.
The wedding officiant then asked Ye Xiaomeng, âMiss Ye Xiaomeng, do you take this handsome Mr. He Ming to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until death do you part?â
Ye Xiaomeng looked up and fixed her eyes on He Ming. As everyone held their breath and waited for her reply, she finally said in a voice that was more determined and louder than his, âI do.â
The applause was even louder than before.
Amidst everyoneâs well-wishes and warm applause, He Ming and Ye Xiaomeng looked into each otherâs eyes and saw only their reflection in the other personâs eyes.
The wedding officiant chuckled. âI wish the two of you a happy marriage. You may kiss the bride now.â
He Ming didnât disappoint and lowered his head to give Ye Xiaomeng an unforgettable kiss. Before Ye Xiaomeng could catch her breath, he said seriously, âThank you for coming today, my friends and family. I would like to take this opportunity to say before everyone⦠Ye Xiaomeng, I love you. Thank you for coming into my life, for enriching my life, and for fulfilling my life.â
Ye Xiaomeng felt an instant burn in her nose as she looked at He Mingâs sincere gaze.
It was unbelievable that he would say such a thing in public. She always thought that he was more reserved and would not say something so emotional.
The two of them stared deeply into each otherâs eyes, as if they were the only ones left in the world.

As He Ming invited only friends and family and not business associates to the wedding, everyone enjoyed the sumptuous banquet after the ceremony.
Time passed very quickly. After the banquet, He Ming brought Ye Xiaomeng straight to a premium suite at the hotel.
The suite had been decorated for newlyweds. The bed was covered with rose petals and there were balloons in the room. The atmosphere was festive.
Although Ye Xiaomeng was exhausted, when He Ming gently put her in bed, she wrapped her arms around his neck and said coquettishly, âIt was a beautiful ceremony. Iâll remember it for the rest of my life. Thank you, hubby, for giving me such an unforgettable wedding.â
âIâm glad you liked it. I know youâve suffered because of my mother. Iâll do better in the future and make you and the baby happy.â He Ming replied staring at her.
Because the wedding banquet had gone on for so long, Ye Xiaomeng felt really tired. He Ming stayed by her side and didnât leave even after she fell asleep.
Ye Xiaomeng was like a kitten snuggled against him. She looked so quiet and sweet as she slept.
He Ming gently stroked her hair and lowered his head to her belly to see if there was any movement.
He felt very satisfied just looking quietly at her pregnancy bump.
After a while, He Ming reluctantly removed her hands from around his waist and carefully sat up.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Xiaomeng seemed to have felt it. She moaned, adjusted her position, and continued to sleep soundly.
He Ming glanced at her, then walked into the bathroom with his pajamas.
Their heartwarming wedding ceremony was over.
