Chapter 197 Making a Vow for Life
Although Su Ma was deeply moved by the love story between Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue, a little incident still occurred at the wedding.
Suma announced with a smile, "Brother Zhengchu, although I won't make things difficult for you, we can't break the customs of our Seine Island. You have to find your sister-in-law's red shoes before you can take her away. This depends on your determination and love."
Tan Zhengchu smiled confidently: "Okay, Su Ma, I'm sure I can find it."
The room suddenly became lively.
Tan Zhengchu led a group of boys to search everywhere, under beds, in cabinets, and in any place where things could be hidden.
But the shoes were nowhere to be found, and everyone was sweating profusely with anxiety.
Seeing Tan Zhengchu's increasingly anxious expression, Su Yingxue felt a pang of unease.
While everyone was distracted, he secretly winked at the windowsill.
Tan Zhengchu was very clever; he followed Su Yingxue's hint and went to find her.
I spotted the red shoes hidden behind the green plants on the windowsill at a glance.
He rushed over, picked up the red shoe, and held it high.
He proudly showed Su Yingxue his shoes: "Yingxue, look, I've found your red shoes!"
Before anyone could react, Tan Zhengchu knelt down on one knee and gently lifted Su Yingxue's feet.
He placed a kiss on the instep of her foot, gently and reverently put her shoes on, and softly said, "My bride, have you been waiting long?"
Su Yingxue's cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with emotion and love, and she said reproachfully, "You're such a troublemaker."
This heartwarming scene drew applause from those around them.
Afterwards, a group of people followed Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue out in a lively manner.
Suma walked in the group, tears welling in her eyes, but she smiled and said to those around her, "Seeing Zhengchu so happy makes me happy too."
Su Yingxue held Tan Zhengchu's hand tightly, her face beaming with joy, and the corners of her mouth turned up: "Zhengchu, no matter where you take me, I will follow you."
Tan Zhengchu grasped her hand in return, equally resolute: "Yingxue, I will never let go of your hand in this lifetime."
A short while later, they arrived at the auditorium.
This chapel, built on a cliff on the island of Seine, has stood the test of time.
Tan Zhengchu led Su Yingxue onto the carpet made of flower petals, walking slowly and solemnly, step by step.
Their eyes met, and the love in their eyes seemed to overflow.
A knowing smile played on his lips, and everything around them became a backdrop to their love.
Walk to the giant statue on Seine Island, which is the most sacred place in this chapel.
Tan Zhengchu gently put his arm around Su Yingxue's waist and whispered in her ear, "Yingxue, we're about to make a lifelong vow. Are you ready?"
Su Yingxue nodded slightly, her eyes glistening with tears and longing: "Zhengchu, I've been waiting for this moment for so long, to be with you."
Sunlight streamed through the stained glass windows of the auditorium, scattering like tiny pieces of gold.
The entire space was quiet and exuded a sacred atmosphere, as if the hustle and bustle of the world had been shut out.
Su Yingxue, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, held a bouquet of flowers in her hands, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Standing beside him was Tan Zhengchu, who was dressed in a sharp suit and looked incredibly handsome.
The two stood beneath the giant stone statue in the center of the hall, awaiting the most important moment of their lives.
Uncle Zhong, dressed in the traditional national costume of Seine Island, stood at the front as the officiant with a solemn and devout expression.
Suma stood to the side, her eyes sparkling, full of anticipation for the wedding.
She knew that this marked the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of her brother Zhengchu and sister-in-law Yingxue.
The wedding was a very small affair, with only Uncle Zhong and Su Ma as the two distinguished guests.
The wedding was private and low-key, yet full of deep affection.
Uncle Zhong cleared his throat, slowly opened the Bible, and said in a steady and loud voice: "Today, in this sacred place, we witness the union of two new people."
He bowed his head slightly and began to recite the prayer devoutly, the ancient words echoing in the hall.
Although Su Yingxue couldn't understand every word, she could truly feel the profound blessing from Uncle Zhong's tone and expression.
She tilted her head slightly, tears glistening in her eyes.
After reciting the prayer, Uncle Zhong looked at Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue with gentle eyes and asked, "Tan Zhengchu, whether in poverty, sickness, or wealth, are you willing to take Su Yingxue's hand and spend your life with her?"
Tan Zhengchu gazed into Su Yingxue's eyes, and without hesitation, declared loudly, "I do!"
The voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the auditorium.
Uncle Zhong then turned to Su Yingxue: "Su Yingxue, no matter how rugged the road ahead may be, or how stormy it may be, are you willing to stay by Tan Zhengchu's side and never abandon him?"
Su Yingxue's eyes were slightly red, filled with deep affection, and she replied with equal firmness, "I do!"
Then, Tan Zhengchu gently picked up the ring he had prepared, took Su Yingxue's hand, and slowly slipped the ring onto her finger. Su Yingxue also put the ring on Tan Zhengchu's finger. The two rings sparkled in the sunlight, just like their bright future.
Uncle Zhong smiled with satisfaction and announced loudly, "Groom, you may kiss the bride now."
As soon as the words were spoken, sunlight seemed to shine down specially for this moment, shining directly on the two of them through the skylight in the roof.
Tan Zhengchu gently put his arm around Su Yingxue's waist and slowly lowered his head.
Su Yingxue tilted her head slightly, and their lips touched lightly.
The kiss was tender and affectionate, and everything around seemed to stand still; the scene was as beautiful as a dream.
In the sacred atmosphere of this church, every word of the vow seemed to carry immense power.
The promise of love between Su Yingxue and Tan Zhengchu filled the air with their unwavering devotion to love.
During the kissing scene, the white veil, the suit, and the golden sunlight intertwined, creating a romantic yet tense atmosphere that captivated Su Yingxue.
Suma clapped excitedly from the side, tears welling in her eyes, and shouted with a smile, "Wishing Brother Zhengchu and Sister-in-law Yingxue eternal happiness!"
Then, she and Uncle Zhong exchanged a glance and quietly withdrew.
Only Su Yingxue and Tan Zhengchu remained in the auditorium.
Tan Zhengchu gently stroked Su Yingxue's cheek and said softly, "Yingxue, from today onwards, we are truly a family."
Su Yingxue's cheeks flushed as she leaned against Tan Zhengchu's chest and softly replied, "Yes, we'll never be apart."
At this moment, the private and romantic atmosphere enveloped them tightly, as if time itself had stood still for this love.
Uncle Zhong and Su Ma quietly withdrew.
In the quiet wedding hall, only Tan Zhengchu and Su Yingxue remained.
Tan Zhengchu finally couldn't resist, lowered his head slightly, and gently kissed Su Yingxue's lips again.
When the kiss ended, Su Yingxue's eyes were glazed over, as if mist filled her gaze.
Her pretty face was indescribably charming.
Tan Zhengchu's lips curled up in a seductive smile, while Su Yingxue's cheeks flushed and her smile was sweet.
The two stood there, creating a contrasting yet incredibly harmonious scene.
Tan Zhengchu spoke first, his voice so gentle it could melt water: "Yingxue, you look so beautiful today."
She paused, then added, "Actually, in my eyes, you are beautiful every day."
