A reborn mother longs for her daughter's happiness.

Chapter 179 A Dreamy Wedding in the Summer Garden

Sunlight pierced through the clouds, bathing the meticulously arranged garden in a golden glow. A gentle breeze stirred, and the flowers swayed gracefully, as if cheering for the upcoming wedding. Today was the auspicious day for Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen to enter the hall of marriage, and the entire garden was filled with an atmosphere of happiness and sweetness.

Li Shiqing, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, looked like a princess from a fairy tale, breathtakingly beautiful. She stood in the dressing room, nervously and expectantly awaiting the start of the ceremony. Her mother, Li Yuan, gently adjusted the hem of her gown, her eyes filled with love and reluctance. "My darling, you look so beautiful today. Mom is so happy for you," Li Yuan said, her voice trembling slightly, her eyes a little moist.

Li Shiqing turned around and hugged her mother tightly, her voice choked with emotion: "Mom, thank you and Dad for raising me all these years. I will come back to see you often in the future."

"Silly child, what are you saying?" Li Yuan patted Li Shiqing's back. "As long as you are happy, Mom will be content. Zhang Chen is a good boy, he will take good care of you."

Just then, Liu Yixin, the younger sister, rushed in like a gust of wind, carrying a bouquet of flowers. "Sister, you're absolutely stunning! If I were a man, I'd be completely smitten with you!" Liu Yixin exclaimed dramatically, making Li Shiqing and Li Yuan laugh.

"You're so sweet-talking." Li Shiqing smiled as she accepted the flowers. "Help me see if these flowers match my wedding dress."

"What a perfect match! Sis, you're definitely the most dazzling star here today!" Liu Yixin circled around Li Shiqing, her eyes full of envy.

Liu Qicheng, the younger brother, also came over. Although he was still young, he was dressed in a handsome little suit today and looked particularly energetic. "Sister, you are so beautiful, like a fairy," Liu Qicheng said.

"Thank you, little brother." Li Shiqing patted Liu Qicheng's head. "You can't be naughty later, you have to be good."

"I know, sis. I'll be good." Liu Qicheng patted his chest, looking very serious.

On the other side of the garden, Zhang Chen and his father were busy welcoming relatives and friends. Zhang Chen was dressed in a sharp suit, his hair neatly combed, looking handsome and dashing. "Uncles and aunts, welcome to my wedding! Please have a seat!" Zhang Chen greeted each guest warmly, his face beaming with happiness.

"Zhang Chen, congratulations! Today is truly a wonderful day!" an elder said with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt!" Zhang Chen quickly handed over the wedding candies. "I hope you have a great time today!"

Zhang Chen's father was also busy at work, chatting with guests while directing the staff to set up the venue. "Adjust the positions of those balloons over there, make them more neat," Zhang Chen's father shouted.

“Okay, Uncle Zhang!” the staff member replied immediately.

"Dad, take a rest, don't overwork yourself," Zhang Chen said with some concern as he watched his father's busy figure.

"It's alright, today is your big day, I'm so happy for you, how could I be tired?" Zhang Chen's father smiled and patted Zhang Chen's shoulder. "Seeing you and Shi Qing so happy, I'm relieved."

Just then, the wedding emcee walked onto the stage, cleared his throat, and said, "Dear friends and family, good afternoon! On this auspicious day, we gather here to witness the love story of Ms. Li Shiqing and Mr. Zhang Chen. Now, I declare the wedding ceremony officially open! Please welcome the groom, Zhang Chen, to the stage!"

Accompanied by cheerful music, Zhang Chen strode confidently onto the stage. He stood in the center, his gaze fixed on the end of the aisle, awaiting his bride.

"Now, please welcome the beautiful bride, Li Shiqing, to this sacred wedding hall, accompanied by her father!" The emcee's voice was full of passion.

Li Shiqing, arm in arm with her father Liu Xuan, slowly walked towards the stage. A happy smile radiated from her face, and her eyes revealed her anticipation for the future. Looking at his daughter, Liu Xuan was filled with emotion. He gently patted Li Shiqing's hand and said, "My dear, from today onwards, you will begin a new life. Zhang Chen is a trustworthy person; I hope you two can support each other and grow old together."

"Dad, I understand." Li Shiqing nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.

When Li Shiqing walked to the front of the stage, Liu Xuan placed her hand in Zhang Chen's hand and solemnly said, "Zhang Chen, I'm entrusting my precious daughter to you. You must take good care of her and not let her suffer any grievances."

"Dad, don't worry! I will definitely treat Shi Qing well and make her the happiest woman in the world," Zhang Chen said firmly.

The couple stood hand in hand on the stage, facing their family and friends. The host smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang Chen, Ms. Li Shiqing, at this sacred moment, please answer a few questions for me. Mr. Zhang Chen, do you take Ms. Li Shiqing to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?"

"I do!" Zhang Chen answered without hesitation, his eyes filled with deep affection.

"Ms. Li Shiqing, do you take Mr. Zhang Chen to be your 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 stay together forever?" the host asked again.

"I do!" Li Shiqing's voice was gentle yet firm.

"Alright! Now, please exchange rings!" the host said.

Liu Yixin and Liu Qicheng walked onto the stage, holding the ring box in their hands. Liu Yixin playfully said to Zhang Chen, "Brother-in-law, if you dare bully my sister, I won't let you get away with it!"

"Don't worry, I definitely won't." Zhang Chen smiled as he took the ring and gently placed it on Li Shiqing's finger.

Li Shiqing also put a ring on Zhang Chen's finger. The two smiled at each other, their eyes only for one other person.

"I hereby announce that Mr. Zhang Chen and Ms. Li Shiqing are officially married! Groom, you may now kiss your bride!" the emcee exclaimed excitedly.

Zhang Chen gently cupped Li Shiqing's face and, amidst the cheers of the crowd, kissed her passionately. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world seemed to consist only of the two of them.

After the wedding ceremony, the banquet began. Everyone sat together, enjoying the food and sharing their joy. Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen went from table to table toasting their relatives and friends, thanking them for coming.

"Come on, uncles and aunts, thank you for coming to our wedding. I'd like to toast you!" Zhang Chen raised his glass and said with a smile.

"Great! Congratulations on your marriage, and may you have a baby soon!" the uncles and aunts said, offering their blessings.

Just then, Li Shiqing's best friend walked over, grinning mischievously, and said, "Shiqing, you're finally married today! If Zhang Chen treats you badly in the future, just tell us, and we'll take care of him for you!"

"Haha, definitely not," Li Shiqing said with a smile. "Zhang Chen is so good to me."

"That's not necessarily true." Her best friend blinked. "Zhang Chen, you'd better behave yourself, or we won't allow it."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely do my best," Zhang Chen quickly said, making everyone burst into laughter.

Halfway through the banquet, one of Zhang Chen's friends stood up and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, today is Zhang Chen and Shi Qing's big day. I propose that they perform a show for us, what do you say?"

"Great! Great!" everyone echoed.

Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen exchanged a glance, somewhat embarrassed. "What are we going to perform?" Li Shiqing asked Zhang Chen in a low voice.

"How about we sing a song?" Zhang Chen suggested.

“Okay.” Li Shiqing nodded.

So, Zhang Chen and Li Shiqing went up on stage, picked up the microphone, and sang "Because of Love" for everyone. Although their singing wasn't professional, it was full of emotion and deeply moved everyone present.

"Wow, you sang so well!" Liu Yixin shouted from below the stage. "Sister, brother-in-law, you two are such a perfect match!"

After the song ended, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen walked off the stage hand in hand, their faces beaming with happiness.

As the banquet drew to a close, Li Shiqing's father, Liu Xuan, stood up and delivered a deeply moving speech. "Today, my daughter Li Shiqing is getting married, and I feel incredibly gratified and happy. I want to thank Zhang Chen and his family for their love and care for Shiqing. I hope that Shiqing and Zhang Chen will understand and tolerate each other in their future life, and create a bright future together." Liu Xuan's voice choked with emotion, and tears welled in his eyes.

"Dad, don't worry, we definitely will." Li Shiqing walked to her father's side and hugged him tightly.

"Alright, today is a happy day, everyone, don't be too sad," Zhang Chen's father said with a smile. "Come on, let's raise our glasses again and toast to the happiness of this newlywed couple!"

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank their blessings and joy in one gulp.

As the sun set, the wedding concluded amidst laughter and joy. Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen strolled hand in hand through the garden, savoring the beautiful moment. "Zhang Chen, I'm really happy today," Li Shiqing whispered, leaning against Zhang Chen's chest.

“Me too, baby.” Zhang Chen gently kissed Li Shiqing’s forehead. “From today onwards, we are family. I will always be with you, forever.”

They smiled at each other, their eyes filled with anticipation for the future. In this summer garden, their love story had only just begun, and the days to come were sure to be filled with even more happiness and sweetness.

As night fell, the garden lights came on, twinkling like stars. Amidst the blessings of family and friends, Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen embarked on their honeymoon. Their laughter echoed in the night sky, as if telling an eternal love story.

On this special day, Li Shiqing's family and Zhang Chen's family became even closer because of the union of the two young people. They reminisced about the moments of their wedding, sharing their joy and emotion.

"Today's wedding was absolutely perfect!" Li Yuan, Li Shiqing's mother, exclaimed. "Shiqing and Zhang Chen are a match made in heaven."

"Yes, seeing our children so happy puts our minds at ease," Zhang Chen's mother said with a smile. "From now on, we're a family, so we should visit each other more often."

“Of course!” Li Shiqing’s father, Liu Xuan, quickly replied. “I hope that the children can support each other and face the difficulties and challenges of life together in the future.”

“I believe they can do it,” Zhang Chen’s father said confidently. “Zhang Chen and Shi Qing are both sensible children, and they will make their lives better and better.”

Everyone chatted amiably, creating a harmonious atmosphere. Meanwhile, Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen were already on a plane bound for the seaside. Looking out the window at the starry sky, their hearts were filled with anticipation and hope for the future.

"Zhang Chen, what do you think our honeymoon will be like?" Li Shiqing asked curiously.

“It will definitely be wonderful,” Zhang Chen said with a smile. “We can take walks on the beach together, watch the sunrise and sunset together, and enjoy the local cuisine together.”

"That sounds so romantic," Li Shiqing laughed happily. "I can't wait."

“Me too.” Zhang Chen gently took Li Shiqing’s hand. “Baby, I love you.”

"I love you too." Li Shiqing leaned on Zhang Chen's shoulder and gradually drifted off to sleep.

On this beautiful night, Li Shiqing and Zhang Chen's love story shines like a brilliant star in the night sky. Their future, like the vast starry sky, is filled with endless possibilities and hope.
