Lu Shijing wore a grave expression. “I’m still not ranked number one. I’m afraid I’m not good enough for you.”

Gu Shengsheng: “…”

‘Honestly, she couldn’t even count the digits of his net worth.’

Seeing her, Lu Shijing put down his work and said, “The wedding is tomorrow.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to do a rehearsal tonight?” he asked. “I’m worried you’ll be overwhelmed on the day.”

“I completely dominated the press conference today. You think I’m going to be scared of a wedding?” Gu Shengsheng said, unfazed.

Still, she took the schedule and glanced over it, her eyes also falling on the enormous wedding dress waiting in the room.

“We should have just invited our close friends and family,” she said.

“Keep it a little more low-key. After all, you could say we’ve been married before. Does this count as a second marriage?”

“But both times were with me, right? So the last one doesn’t count,” Lu Shijing said.

A peaceful night passed.

…

In the grand hall, the bride and groom had yet to arrive.

All around, friends and family were holding up their phones, snapping one picture after another.

“Oh my god, this is the first time in my life I’ve been to such an incredible wedding. I heard the floral arrangements alone cost 6.8 million.”

“And the dress was made by a top global designer. President Lu had it commissioned two years ago.”

“And look at all these decorations! Plus, the ring! It’s made from that top-grade, rare diamond Miss Gu bought. She gave it to Mr. Lu, who polished and designed the final piece himself, step by step.”

“Good heavens, I’m so envious I could cry…”

Just then, Jin Ran, sitting beside Lu Linlin, looked at her and said, “Don’t you worry. When we get married, we’ll have my sister-in-law help us design one, too!”

Lu Linlin shot him a glare. “What makes you think you can call her your sister-in-law? She’s *my* sister-in-law. We’re not married yet, you know.”

“I’m planning to keep you on probation for another two years,” Lu Linlin said, no longer in a rush. “Besides, my brother and future sister-in-law said they’ll be handling my affairs from now on. So you should come around our house less. My grandma doesn’t like you, either.”

Mrs. Lu Sr. was holding Gu Shengsheng’s grandmother’s hand, both of them sitting there, weeping buckets.

They were already moved to tears, and the bride and groom hadn’t even arrived yet.

Hearing this, she turned her head and said, “Jin Ran, you little rebel! Just you wait. As soon as I’m done blessing this couple, I’m going to give you a proper evaluation myself.”

Jin Ran just chuckled and called her “Grandma.”

Watching them joke around, Yang Jiao smiled too. Zhao Han gently pulled her into his arms, his heart filled with a sense of contentment that needed no words.

In addition to them, Zhang Zhengyi, Zhao Dehai, and their entourages had also arrived. All the master appraisers Gu Shengsheng had worked with in the past were present.

Their hearts were filled with blessings and relief for the couple on stage.

Spotlights flared to life, and they walked to the center of attention amidst the cheers of their friends and family.

Gu Shengsheng, in a wedding dress worth over a billion, was so breathtakingly beautiful that no one could look away. She was absolutely dazzling.

Thunderous applause erupted all around them.

Gu Shengsheng didn’t cry, but in a hall packed with guests, more than half of them did.

They cried from a place of genuine happiness for the couple, for the sweet new beginning that had finally come after so much bitterness.

“I, Lu Shijing, ask you, Gu Shengsheng, to be my wife, the only partner and only love of my life.”

“I, Gu Shengsheng, am willing to marry you and take you as my husband.”

The two then exchanged rings and embraced. Lu Shijing’s hands were cold, and his voice trembled as he said, “I’ve finally married you, Mrs. Lu.”

Gu Shengsheng replied, “To share a quilt in life, and a tomb in death.”

“I look forward to our life together, Mr. Lu.”

At that, tears streamed down Lu Shijing’s face. The man who never cried was now sobbing like a child.

‘Thank goodness. I married the only woman I ever wanted.’

It seemed as if everything had happened just as it should, falling into place when the time was right.

Their life together was only just beginning.

No illness, no disaster, no pain, no sorrow. For all their days to come, they would have only each other in their hearts.
