Chapter 85

Wedding .

On Zhen Wu and Lucy’s secret wedding day, Zhen Wu smiled and greeted all the students .

Zhen Wu planned a private wedding for him and Lucy at a small city church . He wanted for them to look back on their wedding, and remember how happy they were with just the two of them .

Lam Ting carried books to the front gate . It was her habit to look out for Zhen Wu . She thought he looked like he would smile at her if she greeted him that day .

When Lam Ting noticed Yang Han An held a knife, she automatically ran to protect Zhen Wu . Yang Han An’s knife stabbed her stomach . Zhen Wu caught her before she fell . She looked at her bleeding stomach, and didn’t know why she took a knife stab for Zhen Wu . She heard Yang Han An scream and cry .

The next moment Lam Ting woke up, it was night and she heard Zhen Wu’s usual cold voice spoke warmly on the phone .

‘Lucy, there’s been an incident,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘Do you want us to change it to a different day… you want to wait… OK, wait for me, I promise I’ll come . ’

Zhen Wu said bye to Lucy, and he saw Lam Ting wake up . Bai Yu Tian had a gifted surgeon’s hands . Lam Ting looked pale, but she was in a stable condition .

‘You’re awake,’ Zhen Wu said .

‘Yes… ah…’ Lam Ting said .

‘Don’t sit up,’ Zhen Wu said .

‘Yang Han An…’ Lam Ting said .

‘A student called the police,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘The police arrested her . ’

‘I didn’t expect she would do this,’ Lam Ting said .

Lam Ting thought Zhen Wu looked too handsome sitting in front of her hospital bed .

‘Is it worth sacrificing yourself for your father?’ Zhen Wu asked .

Lam Ting thought she was a foolish person . She loved Zhen Wu, but he only believed she had an ulterior motive to save his life . Her pride stopped herself from telling him how heartbroken she was .

‘It’s worth it,’ Lam Ting said .

Zhen Wu looked at the prideful Lam Ting . He didn’t understand why chose to sit on a pedestal .

‘I promise no one can touch your father’s position,’ Zhen Wu said .

Lam Ting closed her eyes and she spoke softly .

‘Thank you,’ Lam Ting said .

Lam Ting opened her eyes, and saw Zhen Wu stood up .

‘Where are you going?’ Lam Ting asked . ‘I heard you speaking on the phone with Lucy before . Are you dressed like this to go on a date with her?’

‘Yes,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘Today is mine and Lucy’s wedding day . She’s been waiting for me all night . I’ll come visit you another day . ’

Zhen Wu opened the door . He didn’t regret leaving Lam Ting crying silently on the hospital bed . Love couldn’t be forced . He loved Lucy, and he knew in Lucy’s heart he was her husband since they met as children .

At three in the morning the priest pitied the bride . Lucy had stood waiting at the door all night .

‘Miss, it’s late,’ the priest said . ‘Your fiance isn’t here . I can marry you and your fiance another day . ’

‘I’m sorry father,’ Lucy said . ‘I’m sorry I made you wait this long . Can we wait for another half an hour? I believe he’ll come because he promised . ’

‘Alright,’ the priest said .

‘Thank you father,’ Lucy said .

Lucy looked up at the full moon . She was too anxious to feel the cold wind . She didn’t wait in vain, the man she loved was running toward her and his tie flew back behind his shoulder .

‘I’ll deal with you later for being late,’ Lucy teased .

‘I’ll listen to everything my wife says,’ Zhen Wu said .

Lucy heard Zhen Wu called her wife and she blushed . She held his hand and led him to the altar .

‘Father, this is my fiance Zhen Wu,’ Lucy said .

The priest opened his eyes from a nap . He stood and smiled at Lucy and Zhen Wu .

‘You’re finally here,’ the priest said . ‘You let your beautiful bride wait a long time . She’s a good girl . You should treasure her . ’

‘Yes father,’ Zhen Wu said .

‘Let’s start,’ the priest said . ‘Do you two promise to be true to each other in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health?’

‘Father, can you speed up the ceremony?’ Zhen Wu asked .

‘Young man, you need to learn to be patient,’ the father chided . ‘Do you two promise to love and honor each other all the days of your lives together?’

‘I do,’ Lucy said .

‘I do,’ Zhen Wu said .

‘Lucy Brenda and Zhen Wu, exchange rings with each other,’ the priest said .

Zhen Wu took out the ring he bought for Lucy from his jacket pocket and they exchanged rings .

‘By the power vested in me,’ the priest said . ‘I now pronounce you husband and wife . ’

‘Father, I hope you can understand how happy I am to marry my wife,’ Zhen Wu said . ‘Can I kiss my wife yet?’

‘You may now kiss your bride,’ the priest said .

The priest thought young couples these days were always in a rush .

The moonlight shone through the stained glass windows . The priest smiled at the happy newlyweds who looked like they would be together forever .

In that moment at the hospital, Lam Ting was a smart insomniac . She laid in her bed, and knew it was best to let go of unrequited love .

In the city church, Zhen Wu vowed not to let go of Lucy . He kissed her soft lips . She was the reason why he wanted to stay in the world, and why he understood love and happiness .

Lucy had waited years to be married to Zhen Wu . Finally he held her in his arms as her husband . She surrendered herself to him, and kissed him with love in her heart .

Zhen Wu held Lucy’s hands and smiled at her . She knew he would always be her man .

Every morning, everyone continued on with their lives . Yue Di Yi ran away from home like usual . Yue Ni continued to train like a demoness . Shu Tang Li slowly became accustomed to his life as the leader of Tan Lang . Yue Gu Zai and Zhen Zhen’s love for each other still tasted sweet . Shu Tang Jue and Nan Ma still bantered affectionately . No matter how many days past, everyone aspired to make beautiful memories .
