That year, she told herself that no matter what, she would make Ziyan happy, at any cost!

The white wedding dress and the bride's crown, Xia Huanhuan had once thought with incomparable joy about how she would feel at this moment when she became the bride.
Right now, she was truly wearing it. She was truly going to marry Jun Ziyan at this moment. However, her mood was no longer what it was like before.
Initially, she only married him because she loved him. But now, she added in the condition that her mother would make the cut. As for Ziyan, would he truly believe that she loved him? Or did he think that she was obsessed with Ye Nanqing?
Ye Nanqing... This name was like a memory that was gradually being sealed in a corner of his memory. He gave her the photos, along with the negatives, and that night he watched her burn them all out, but he still said nothing, no more, as if there had never been anything about the pictures.
It was a coincidence that she and Ye Nanqing had separated when their relationship wasn't deep enough. Even though she was touched when she knew Ye Nanqing had been looking for her for 21 years because of a promise she made when she was young, it was only because she was touched.
She clearly knew that the person she loved was Ziyan.
"Huanhuan, are you really going to bring me to Ziyan's side?" Xia Mei asked, still a little worried. After all, when a daughter marries, her father usually holds her hand. Even now, when a daughter doesn't have a father since she was young, the other male elders would do the same. "He was just like his elder brother. He had already said several times that he could bring Xia Huanhuan into the auditorium, but his daughter had refused.
"Mom, today is my wedding. I hope that the most important person in my life will hand me over to another important person." "And the Jun Family has already been agreed upon, there's no need to worry."
Xia Mei nodded, "Ok, then Mom will give you to Ziyan."
When the wedding began and Xia Mei brought Xia Huanhuan into the auditorium, Xia Huanhuan looked at the rows of guests standing in the auditorium and suddenly became nervous.
The portion of the guests who had come to the church was only one part of the banquet. Most of the guests would go directly to the wedding banquet, but there were more than a hundred of them.
However, when Xia Huanhuan saw the white figure standing at the end of the aisle, the nervousness in her heart instantly turned into a sorrowful feeling.
He just stood there, straight and still, waiting for her past, as if... It seemed like it had been waiting for a very long time.
Her mother took her step by step, and with every step she took, her heart grew more and more moved. She was going to marry him, marry that man they had known since they were six.
After being entangled with him for so many years, she had laughed, had quarrelled with him, had experienced the cold war, had been entangled with him … He had forcefully broken into her world, but she had never thought that one day she would fall in love with him.
However, when he fell in love, it was only because of his deep love that he realized that his previous domineering and tyrannical attitude towards her was due to his uneasiness.
What could he do to reassure him? What could they do if they truly trusted each other and made up for the breach between them?
The mother brought her to him and put her hand in his.
"Ziyan, I'm leaving Lili to you." Xia Mei said to Jun Ziyan. It was a simple sentence, but it contained the feelings she had for her daughter.
"Yes, I will capture her for the rest of her life." Jun Ziyan replied in a low voice.
Xia Mei smiled as she looked at her daughter and her future son-in-law, then she nodded before turning around and retreating to the side.
Xia Huanhuan's eyes couldn't help but tear up. Her reluctance to leave her mother made her instinctively want to chase after her and hug her mother again.
However, just as her body slightly moved, his hand suddenly retracted and tightly gripped her hand. His other hand was placed on her waist, preventing her from moving even an inch.
Separated by the pure white veil, she wrinkled her brow in pain and looked at him, her gaze falling into those empty, dark eyes.
He lowered his head and leaned over slightly. He whispered into her ear in a voice that could only be heard by others, "Huanhuan, don't forget what you promised me."
Xia Huanhuan froze. She had promised … As long as he could save his mother, as long as Jun Haixin was willing to operate on his mother's heart, she would marry him and make an oath in front of the gods for the rest of her life.
Was he worried that she would go back on her word? So he had come to remind her of this?
"I didn't forget." She moved her lips and replied.
The people watching the ceremony seemed to be surprised by the two people whispering during the wedding ceremony. Fortunately, Jun Ziyan pulled Xia Huanhuan and stood in front of the priest.
"Mr. Jun Ziyan, are you willing to say that you are in a difficult situation, that you are rich or poor, that you are healthy or sick, that you are happy or sad, that you will always love Lady Xia Huanhuan, cherish her, and be loyal to her, forever?"
"I do." Jun Ziyan's voice didn't have the slightest hesitation.
"Lady Xia Huanhuan, are you willing to forever love Mr. Jun Ziyan, cherish him, be loyal to him, be it adversity, wealth or poverty, health or illness, happiness or sorrow?"
"I …" Xia Huanhuan's mind flashed back to the events of when he had made the Promise of Ten Years with her; the moment when she had met him again; the time when he had grabbed her by the neck and made her withdraw the words he had spoken; and … The night she went to beg him, he hugged her tightly in the elevator and said, "As long as you are willing to tell the priest that you are willing, I will grant your request."
She was silent for a moment, but his grip tightened on her fingers. He turned his head slightly to the side and stared at her.
The look in her eyes was as though she was urging her to hurry up and speak, but also seemed to be afraid that the words from her mouth would be words that he did not want to hear.
"Xia Huanhuan took a deep breath and said those three words while enduring the pain in her clenched left hand." "I do."
Ziyan, he knew that she was really willing to say these three words! It wasn't because of the agreement between her and him, but because she truly loved him and wanted to cherish him forever! He wanted to pacify his uneasiness!
When the wedding rings were placed onto each other's hands, it was as if the rings were imprinted onto each other's bodies. His gaze was still on her from beginning to end.
It seemed like … He had always been looking at her, ever since he was six years old!
"The bridegroom can kiss the bride." The priest's voice sounded again.
Xia Huanhuan saw Jun Ziyan raise both his hands and lift his fingers to lift up her pure white veil. He bent down slightly, and his handsome face gradually enlarged in front of her eyes.
Until the tip of his nose almost touched her cheek, and his lips were only a centimeter or two away from hers.
"I, Jun Ziyan, will stay by Xia Huanhuan's side for the rest of my life, forever and ever." He spoke softly, softly, but firmly. His eyelashes gently closed, and at the moment his voice fell, his lips kissed hers.
He was kissing like a devout believer, and she was staring at his closed eyes. Her nose was a little sore, and the lips he was kissing were burning hot.
This is... His oath! Ever since she was young, what she had heard the most about him was that he wanted to stay by her side. However, she had never heard him speak about something like this before. It made her want to reply to him.
When his lips left hers, the guests stood up and applauded the little landowner. Xia Huanhuan looked at the people around her with a smile on her face. Nearby, her mother was smiling in a gratified manner, her eyes filled with light.
Xia Huanhuan gave her mother a bright smile, turned her head around, and suddenly stood on tiptoe. She put her arms around Jun Ziyan's neck, her lips close to his ear, and said in a firm voice that could be heard by both of them, "I, Xia Huanhuan, will stay by Jun Ziyan's side for the rest of my life, forever and ever."
His body stiffened for a moment before he stared at her. His empty eyes, at this moment, contained a sense of astonishment and disbelief.
"It's true." Xia Huanhuan said, "It's not a deal. I didn't have to say it because I really thought so." She spoke seriously.
As for him, he stared at her fixedly as tears rolled down his face.
Crystal clear, beautiful to the point of making one sigh.
The next moment, his hands suddenly embraced her, pulling her tightly into his embrace. His head was buried deep in her neck, his shoulders were twitching, and he kept shouting her name in a choked voice, "Huanhuan …" "Huanhuan …"
Xia Huanhuan only felt a burst of wetness on her shoulders. He cried … She made him cry again! She just wanted to tell him her true feelings, to let him know that she was willing and that she loved him.
But she didn't expect him to cry, to lie on her shoulder like a child crying. Lili patted Jun Ziyan's back helplessly and said softly, "Don't cry, Ziyan. Don't cry …"
However, his face was still buried under her shoulder. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "Huanhuan, this saying is for life. In the future, even if you go back on your word, it will be useless."
"I won't." she replied.
He raised his head again, his red eyes fixed on her. Even though he still felt uncertain, at this moment, he wanted to believe what she said, and he wanted to believe it even more.
