Old Master Ji, Li Zhaodi, and Mu Teng tried their best to smile even though they couldn’t. Like Shao Dong, they wore the formal wear Mu Jingzhe had prepared for them.

After learning what Mu Jingzhe wanted to do, Shao Qihai merely laughed bitterly, but he didn’t say anything. He only helped out and put on the tailored suit along with Shao Dong.

He had originally said that he wanted to be more handsome than the groom, but now, there was no way to compare anymore.

Shao Qihai knew that he would never be able to compare to Ji Buwang in this lifetime.

Shao Qihai asked Shao Dong to go to Mu Jingzhe’s to get the groom’s outfit and then helped Ji Buwang put it on with Shao Dong.

Because his body had long turned stiff, it was a little difficult to put the clothes on, but in the end, they still managed to do it.

“I didn’t expect that I would personally put on the groom’s outfit for you. Ji Buwang, you have to thank me in your next life.”

The more time passed, the paler Ji Buwang’s face became, and he looked less and less like a normal person. Hence, Shao Dong hired someone to put some makeup on Ji Buwang to ensure that he would look more like a normal person with blood and qi.

The groomsmen that Ji Buwang had previously picked were now irrelevant. Shao Qihai personally became a groomsman, and Tang Moling was added.

Shao Qihai thought that, given the current situation, Ji Buwang probably wouldn’t mind that he was divorced and had even lost his wife before. After all, they weren’t all that different.

As for Mu Jingzhe’s side, Mai Miao and Xiao Mei didn’t care about her objections or if it was auspicious or not. Knowing that she still wanted to get married, they became her bridesmaids.

Li Fang, Sister Wei, and the rest all showed up. Ignoring all the talk about it being inauspicious, they participated in this most special wedding that had ever taken place.

There weren’t many people at the wedding, and those who came were the people closest to the couple. Because Ji Buwang couldn’t move, she didn’t opt for a traditional wedding. Instead, she chose a simple wedding witnessed by a priest.

The pastor was brought over by Tang Moling, whose eyes were red. At ten in the morning, this special wedding was held at the funeral home right on time.

In the bride’s room, Mu Jingzhe saw Ji Buwang again. He was wearing the groom’s attire she had made and he looked like a sleeping Prince Charming. “It fits very well. Looks dashing too.”

If only he was really a sleeping Prince Charming, she could wake him up by kissing him. Unfortunately, he wasn’t.

Mu Jingzhe stared at him for a moment and imprinted Ji Buwang’s appearance in her mind. Then, she moved in a circle in front of him. “I look good in a wedding dress, don’t I?”

Ji Buwang couldn’t answer, but Mu Jingzhe believed that he definitely liked it.

When it was time, the bride and groom entered the venue. The priest stood up and controlled his expression, trying not to show that anything was amiss as he asked the question that he had asked too many times.

“Mu Jingzhe, do you want to marry the groom, Ji Buwang?”

“I do.” Mu Jingzhe didn’t hesitate.

“Ji Buwang, do you want to marry Mu Jingzhe?”

“He does,” Mu Jingzhe answered on his behalf. She firmly believed that he did.

During the ring exchange, Mu Jingzhe took out the white jade rings she had found in the dolls despite the fact that her hand had yet to recover. She put the big ring on Ji Buwang’s hand and the small one on her own.

After the priest announced that they were husband and wife, the bride kissed the groom.

Li Zhaodi, who was behind her, almost fainted from crying. Jingzhe looked so good in a wedding dress, but it was such a strange scene.

Too occupied to pay attention to Li Zhaodi, Mu Jingzhe bade Ji Buwang farewell for the last time. “Ji Buwang, our wedding is completed. From now on, we’re husband and wife. You didn’t expect me to send you off in a wedding dress, right?

“I’ve witnessed many weddings in this century, but I think ours is definitely a first. It’s unprecedented.”

Mu Jingzhe gently stroked Ji Buwang’s brows. “Ji Buwang, we’re married. Remember to look for me in your next life. I’ll believe the fortune-teller this time. After experiencing the hardships of this life, we can be together in our next life.”

Shao Qihai was facing away from them but could hear her clearly. In the end, he didn’t say anything.

Eventually, the funeral parlor owner urged them to hurry up. Old Master Ji personally urged Mu Jingzhe. “Alright, Jingzhe, the funeral is about to start. The guests are here. Since you’ve more or less said goodbye, let’s go.”

“But I can’t bear to part with him. Grandpa, you can’t bear to part with him either, right? Let’s not cremate Buwang. Can we keep him?”

How could Old Master Ji not want to do that? However, he shook his head firmly. “No, Buwang wouldn’t be happy. Jingzhe, let go. It’s time to let go.”

She actually knew in her heart that it was time to let go.

“I understand, Grandpa. Don’t take my words seriously. I just said that casually.” Mu Jingzhe forced a smile and held Ji Buwang’s hand. “Let me take another look at him.”

However, in the end, Ji Buwang was still taken away. Mu Jingzhe wanted to chase after him, but she was hugged by the children, so she didn’t manage to do it.

“Mommy, you have to calm down. You’re already married to Uncle Ji. You should let him go.”

“It’s time to let him go…” Mu Jingzhe nodded. “I know. I just can’t control myself at the moment. I’ll be fine soon. I’ll be fine soon.”

Mu Jingzhe kept her word and finally calmed down.

However, she didn’t change out of her wedding dress. She appeared at the funeral in the wedding dress and sent Ji Buwang off in her most beautiful state.

The guests didn’t know that they had even held a wedding previously. When they saw her dressed like this, they were filled with emotions.

Mu Jingzhe didn’t notice their gazes and only focused on Ji Buwang’s photo.

In the end, they had chosen a photo of Ji Buwang taken during the bridal shots, one where he looked very handsome and young. Time would forever stop at that moment for him.

Mu Jingzhe smiled bitterly when she recalled the events of the past. “I’ve thought of countless futures with you and made countless preparations. In the end, we won’t have a future at all…”

There were no children, and no one would mock their wedding photos. Those expectations had all been in vain.

Ji Buwang had said that he would still be a handsome man when he got old, but he wouldn’t have the chance to age at all.

In the end, her beloved turned into a pile of ashes.

Initially, Old Master Ji had wanted to bring Ji Buwang home and bury him in the Ji Family’s ancestral grave. However, after seeing Mu Jingzhe, Old Master Ji couldn’t bear to do so.

“I’ll leave him to you for now. When you come to terms with it one day, just send him back.”

After dealing with Ji Buwang’s funeral, Old Master Ji couldn’t take it anymore and quickly returned to the capital. Tang Moling followed him back and said that he would contact Mu Jingzhe if there was any news.

Xiao Wu was worried about Old Master Ji’s health and wanted to follow him back, but he was also worried about Mu Jingzhe. He was facing a dilemma. Old Master Ji asked him to accompany Mu Jingzhe and said there was no need to worry about him as long as Mu Jingzhe was fine.

Mu Jingzhe had asked him to go with Old Master Ji, but he had never stayed with the Ji Family before.

Xiao Wu finally decided to accompany Mu Jingzhe for a while before going to look for Old Master Ji.

After obtaining Ji Buwang’s ashes, Mu Jingzhe remembered something and told the five kids, “When I leave in the future, bury me with Ji Buwang.”

Since they couldn’t be together in life, they would seek to be together in death.

This was the only thing Mu Jingzhe could ask for.
