On the stage.
They were exchanging rings.
Chen Liuyue looked up, gazing at the person before her.
Slowly, she extended her hand.
"Yueyue, thank you for being willing to marry me."
Wei Miao took a ring from his pocket and carefully slid it onto her finger.
Behind them,
Qin Xuanye watched with eager eyes.
He couldn't help but say:
"Um, excuse me."
Wei Miao glanced at him quite magnanimously.
And stepped aside.
Qin Xuanye took a red ring box from the bouquet.
Opening it, inside was a full-moon-shaped ring.
This was specially custom-made by him.
The ring fit surprisingly well.
A faint smile curled at the corner of Chen Liuyue's lips as she wiggled her finger.
"Is it pretty?" she asked.
Qin Xuanye grinned like a fool, nodding vigorously.
"Liuyue, thank you for giving me this chance."
"I am willing to marry you."
"In the future, when you're busy with your career, I will devote myself to taking care of you, being the man behind you."
"And not letting any other man have a chance!"
Wei Miao shot him a glance.
That sounded somewhat decent for once.
Chen Liuyue spoke:
"A'xuan, so can you now devote yourself entirely to me?"
The rims of Qin Xuanye's ears flushed slightly red as he swallowed nervously.
"Well, I haven't I... already... we... together."
Chen Liuyue shook her head slightly.
Her gaze fell on the area of his chest.
"Not that."
"I mean your heart."
"My attitude towards you was quite awful before, wasn't it? But I think there's something I must tell you now."
Qin Xuanye froze.
Chen Liuyue: "A'xuan, I said I didn't like you."
Qin Xuanye's eyes fell, dejected.
Chen Liuyue smiled, hooking her lips, and said, "That's because the old you really wasn't someone I could like."
"But I've seen all the changes you've made these past few years."
"Especially when we were sick, it was always you taking meticulous care of us."
"Cooking porridge, finding fever medicine, bringing hot water."
"You are a very important, and very reassuring, presence in this home."
Wei Miao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, somewhat reluctant to recall.
That time they were sick,
Qin Xuanye cooked porridge.
After feeding Yueyue, he asked, "Do you need any help?"
Scaring Wei Miao into shaking his head repeatedly.
No thanks, bro!
He'd rather do it himself. He had just swallowed a spoonful of rice porridge
when he heard him say:
"We're not rivals, we're family, brother."
Wei Miao swore! That was definitely the fastest he had ever eaten and then felt like throwing up!
Chen Liuyue continued slowly:
"A'xuan, I like the you of now."
"Yes."
"I think I can tell you now that I do like you."
Qin Xuanye's originally still heart began to beat wildly out of control.
He had thought it would be impossible to ever hear a single word of 'like' from her mouth in this lifetime.
Now, that moon beneath the water was truly willing to stop for him.
Was truly willing to let her radiance shine upon him?
Qin Xuanye's voice choked up:
"Liuyue, I like you too, whether it's the old you or the current you."
"I like you so, so much."
System: "Congratulations, host. The favorability of the target, Qin Xuanye, has reached 100%!"
Chen Liuyue contentedly patted his head.
Little Qin Xuanye, conquered!
Seeing Wei Miao nearby, Chen Liuyue, overcome with jealousy, edged closer and took his hand with her other hand.
Her almond-shaped eyes serious, she said:
A'miao, thank you for being willing to accept me and for staying with my headstrong ways.
"You even organized this wedding that others might see as absurd."
Wei Miao clasped her hand in return, his narrow phoenix eyes filled with deep affection as he said slowly:
"Yueyue, if it weren't for you, I might never have fallen in love or gotten married in this lifetime."
"So what if others think it's absurd? As long as we are happy ourselves, that's all that matters."
Qin Xuanye, hearing this, nodded repeatedly, smiling happily:
"Right, as long as we ourselves are happy!"
The corners of Chen Liuyue's lips curved up. With one hand holding Wei Miao's and the other holding Qin Xuanye's,
she finally brought all three hands together.
"A happy wedding, my two grooms."
"From now on, we are one family."
(This World - End)

Extra 1
Many people attended Chen Liuyue's island wedding.
Her maternal grandfather Wu Hongjun, grandmother Qian Xiaofen, her university roommates, Qin Xuanye's parents, and Wei Miao's grandfather.
Chen Zhenye and Wu Peihua also wanted to come, but she didn't allow it!
As for Chen Haotian, Chen Liuyue had long since blocked and deleted him. After all, she had figured out long ago that she wouldn't regard a pig as her brother.
That would just be an insult to herself!
There was actually a lot of resistance to this wedding too, because Wei Miao's parents couldn't accept this 'special situation' and refused to attend.
Chen Liuyue maintained a good attitude, stating:
"Great! I originally thought I'd have to face two sets of parents-in-law. Now the pressure is halved, easy peasy."
As for Wei Miao's grandfather, it was because little Qin's parents were there. If he, Wei Miao's own grandfather, didn't attend, Wei Miao might be at a disadvantage after he... married over—no, after they got married.
At the wedding venue, watching the happy trio embrace each other,
and hearing the emcee say, "Let us congratulate these three happy newlyweds. May their marriage be blissful and everlasting."
Old Master Wei couldn't help but wipe a bead of sweat from his forehead.
Indeed, if one lives long enough in this lifetime, one gets to see everything.
Including his own grandson's wedding with his granddaughter-in-law and another man.
Ms. Jiang beside him had already adjusted her mindset and started clapping.
Old Master Wei said in surprise, "Xiao Jiang, didn't you say before that you would never agree to your child being with Liuyue?"
Ms. Jiang glanced at him sideways.
And said leisurely, "Old Master, didn't you say that if Wei Miao dared to marry Liuyue, you would go jump in the river? What? Haven't jumped yet?"
Old Master Wei had just been trying to scare his grandson.
He didn't expect Wei Miao to be even more ruthless.
That very day, he went to jump in the river himself, saying that if they tried to break them up, he would die before the old master.
The scene was quite a spectacle. By threatening to jump off a large bridge, he drew the attention of the news media and gossip-loving passersby.
It was only after Old Master Wei personally went that he managed to get his own grandson down from the bridge.
After that, the old master behaved!
He really didn't want his grandson dying before him.
Old Master Wei gave Ms. Jiang a dry laugh, "Rumors, all rumors. I actually like that girl Liuyue very much."
Ms. Jiang also nodded.
"Me too. I wish this child were my daughter."
After saying that, she immediately corrected herself.
"No, she is my daughter."
How could a silly child like Xiao Ye have come from me? From now on I'll just treat him as my son-in-law!
Hearing this, Old Master Wei silently gave a thumbs up.
Look at this awareness (understanding)!
No wonder Ms. Jiang is known in their circles as Ms. Jiang, and not Mrs. Qin!
Because she is strong and clear-headed enough that at important occasions, she is first and foremost herself.
Only then is she Mrs. Qin, and lastly, Qin Xuanye's mother.
On the wedding night.
How to spend the wedding night became a difficult problem.
After all, the honeymoon suite was quite large, just right for three people.
