The sun was shining brightly, the daylight just perfect.
A gentle breeze blew in from the lake, fluttering Jiang Mo's wedding dress.
Amidst the witness and blessings of the crowd, Jiang Mo and Gu Ye made their vow to spend the rest of their lives together.
Jiang Mo looked at Gu Ye standing opposite her. He was putting the wedding ring on her finger, his hands trembling slightly. She found it a bit amusing; was he really this nervous at his own wedding?
But little did she know, Gu Ye wasn't nervous at all—he was just overwhelmingly excited and thrilled.
After the wedding ceremony ended, the two went to change their clothes. In the room, Gu Ye couldn't help but pull her into his arms, sighing with emotion, "This is so wonderful."
Jiang Mo smiled. "Is getting married really that wonderful?"
"It's wonderful because I'm marrying you." Gu Ye kissed her on the lips, but he ended up losing control. Fortunately, Jiang Mo eventually pounded his chest with her little fists a few times to stop him.
"Alright, let's get changed. The guests are all waiting outside."
When the banquet ended and their friends and family left, the newlyweds finally completely relaxed.
Jiang Mo glanced over. On the east side, Gu Baotian was chatting about everyday matters with his good friends Liu Guochuan and Pan Weidong.
On the west side, her own mother and her mother-in-law were holding hands, looking very affectionate and close.
Listening to the compliments and congratulations from his old friends, Gu Baotian smiled so widely that his face wrinkled up. "As for me, I'm just waiting to hold a great-granddaughter. When the time comes, I'll help them babysit."
"Showing off again, as if you're the only one who has them," Liu Guochuan felt a bit annoyed. "When I wanted to introduce my grandson to Little Mo before, you stopped me. I bet you had already reserved her for your own grandson back then."
"Look at what you're saying. I didn't stop you. It's just that the two youngsters took a liking to each other," Gu Baotian deliberately poked at his friend's sore spot. "Your grandson seems to still be single now, right?"
Pan Weidong said, "Isn't that the truth? Old Man Liu has been looking for a partner for his grandson lately."
Gu Baotian said, "Then you need to work harder, Old Liu. Let me tell you, if the kids don't have partners, it's because us elders aren't trying hard enough."
Liu Guochuan: "..."
Jiang Mo was just about to come over and greet the grandpas when she saw Liu Guochuan and Pan Weidong walking away with their hands behind their backs.
"Grandpa, were you bickering again?"
"Oh, at our age, what's the point if we don't bicker?" Gu Baotian beamed. "Live a good life with Little Ye from now on. If he ever makes you angry, come find Grandpa, and I'll teach him a lesson for you."
Jiang Mo nodded. "Then I'll rely on Grandpa from now on."
Gu Baotian expressed concern for her health. "Have you been tired lately? You need to take care of your health and rest more. After all, you have a baby on the way, so it's different now."
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I'm not tired."
After chatting with her grandpa for a while, Jiang Mo walked over to her mother and mother-in-law.
At a glance, it was clear the two had been talking for quite some time.
"Mom, why are your eyes red? Were you crying?"
Su Yunjin explained, "You're getting married today, your mom is just happy. You don't need to worry."
Wang Xia chimed in, "Mom is just happy. Now that you're married, you need to manage your own little family well in the future, do you understand?"
"I know, we will live our lives well." After Jiang Mo finished speaking, Gu Ye immediately showed his loyalty. "Mom, I will treat Little Mo well. If she says go east, I won't go west. If she says go up to the sky, I will never dig into the ground."
Amused by Gu Ye, Wang Xia's mood improved a bit. When a daughter gets married, as a mother, there is always a sense of sadness and reluctance to let go in her heart.
After the wedding, Jiang Mo and Gu Ye returned home, and the next day they set off on their honeymoon trip.
In the days that followed, life returned to its usual routine.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and soon it was time for Jiang Mo to give birth.
Everything had been prepared well in advance. In Gu Ye's words, they were just waiting for the descent of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Jiang Mo rubbed her round belly. "If this isn't a girl, I'm afraid someone is going to be heartbroken."
Sure enough, two days later, because he didn't get his lovely daughter, there was one more heartbroken person in the world.
Holding his son and scratching his head, Gu Ye accepted his fate.
The couple named the baby, and after struggling with it for half a month, they settled on Gu Yehan.
The more Jiang Mo thought about it, the more she felt that this name was, well, very much like a male lead.
"Hubby, don't you think our son's name sounds a lot like the male lead in a novel?"
Gu Ye narrowed his eyes. "Are you saying that when our son grows up, he'll bossily say, 'Woman, you have successfully caught my attention'?"
Jiang Mo looked at her son's little face, thought about it, and couldn't help but burst into giggles.
Meanwhile, the little guy in the cradle seemed dissatisfied, grunting in protest.
Five years later.
Gu Yehan had grown into a handsome little boy and was the heartthrob of his kindergarten.
After school, he couldn't wait to run outside.
Seeing the person at the gate, his eyes lit up. "Grandma!"
"Hanhan," Wang Xia happily hugged her little grandson, took his small backpack, and got into the car, telling the driver to go.
Gu Yehan asked in confusion, "Grandma, why are you the one picking me up today?"
"Because Grandma missed Hanhan," Wang Xia said. "Today, Grandma will make you something delicious."
"Yay, then I want to eat a lot!" Gu Yehan asked, "Have Daddy and Mommy come back from the hospital yet?"
Because they were going to have a little sister, his parents had been at the hospital for two days.
Wang Xia replied, "They're back. They're at home right now. You'll be able to see them when you get back."
Gu Yehan said, "What about my little sister?"
"Your little sister is at home too."
Lying on the large bed at home, Jiang Mo heard a noise from outside. Looking at the time, she figured, yep, the little house-wrecker was back.
Sure enough, a few seconds later, the bedroom door was pushed open.
"I want to see my little sister! Where is my little sister?" Gu Yehan peeked his head in.
Jiang Mo lowered her voice. "Your sister is sleeping. Come over and take a look, but keep your voice down."
Gu Yehan covered his little mouth with his hands, moved closer, and stared at the baby in the blankets for a little while.
"Mommy, is this my little sister? Why is she so wrinkly? She's so ugly."
This remark was overheard by Gu Ye, who had just walked in. He gave him a light smack on the bottom. "How is your sister ugly? She's so pretty."
Gu Yehan was unconvinced. "She just doesn't look pretty."
Jiang Mo spoke up, "Your sister just hasn't grown into her features yet. Wait a while and look again, she'll be pretty."
Over the past few years, Jiang Mo had accumulated a lot of experience. She left her previous law firm and partnered with a senior from her university days to establish her own law firm.
While her career was flourishing, the couple couldn't resist the temptation of other people's soft, cute little girls. They decided to have another baby, and then welcomed a daughter.
Their daughter's name was decided very quickly: Gu Nianzhen.
Listening to Jiang Mo's words, Gu Yehan would run over to check on his sister from time to time.
On an ordinary weekend a month later, he acted as if he had discovered a new continent.
"Mommy, my sister really seems to have gotten prettier!"
"Right? Mommy didn't lie to you, did she?"
Jiang Mo sat on the sofa, nestled in Gu Ye's arms, as she responded to her son.
The warm sunlight spilled into the living room, freezing time in this cozy afternoon, as beautiful as a painting.
The End.
