"..."

Qin Youxuan was glared at by him so fiercely that she couldn’t utter a single word.

By the time the car reached the church, it was nearly five hours later than the scheduled time.

The originally planned morning wedding was forcibly turned into the afternoon.

The limousine came to a stop outside the church, and Qin Youxuan was escorted to the lounge by a crowd for a touch-up.

The media, who had been waiting all day, burst into excitement the moment they saw the main characters finally appear.

"Xuan, we’re at the church now, relax. There are media all around. Mr. Jie has allowed many mainstream media interviews to record this grand occasion. If you keep a stern face, it might not look good on camera for a lifetime!"

Rui Hui stood behind her, looking at Qin Youxuan’s stiff expression, teasing her.

"Pfft—"

Qin Youxuan couldn’t help but giggle, turning to look at those guarding behind her for several seconds as her gaze softened.

She wasn’t oblivious to the fact that all these matters were behind her now.

Yet, as she stepped into this place, many scenes she deliberately wanted to forget became vivid.

The regrets she no longer clung to also resurfaced in her mind.

Once, she believed she could walk down life’s most critical red carpet with her father and reach the one she’d rely on for a lifetime.

In the end, she was faced with the sight of Ye Zhanxing dying right before her eyes.

If someone were to ask her greatest dream in this lifetime, she would undoubtedly say she’d want her dearest family to accompany her to the wedding altar.

Sadly, she won’t have that chance in her lifetime. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"It’s getting late, let’s quickly touch up your makeup, you’ll be walking the red carpet soon." Ning Yanan glanced at her wristwatch, stepped forward, and instructed the makeup artist to adjust Qin Youxuan’s veil and gown.

"Where’s Ru?"

Qin Youxuan looked around and, not seeing Su Yiru, raised her head in confusion.

With Ye Zhanxing gone, the only one left to accompany her down the red carpet was Qin Mo, far away in the home country.

However, Qin Mo had heart disease, and struggling health in recent years meant long flights were severely taxing for him.

Balancing everything, Qin Youxuan abandoned the idea and decided to let Su Yiru, as her mother, accompany her along this red carpet.

"She probably went to the church to prepare first." Ning Yanan remarked absent-mindedly, pulling Rui Hui along to help carry her train as they headed towards the church entrance once the makeup was done.

"Yaya, I’m scared."

Qin Youxuan paused as she approached the lounge’s door, took a deep breath, and looked pale as a ghost.

"There’s nothing to fear. Don’t think about anything; just remember to stride forward. Ahead lies the man you love the most, and he’ll give you all the happiness."

Ning Yanan clasped her hand, encouraging Qin Youxuan.

The three slowly shuffled forward before reaching the church’s grand entrance.

The long red carpet stretched from the door all the way to the priest’s altar.

The media waiting on both sides erupted into a frenzy of flashes as the sight of Qin Youxuan in a breathtaking wedding gown appeared.

Finally regaining her senses from the tense atmosphere, Qin Youxuan lifted her head to see Su Yiru sitting on the observation platform beside her.

Why was Ru sitting over there?

Before Qin Youxuan could question, she saw the small door on the other side of the church entrance open.

Diwu Zexuan pushed a wheelchair steadily toward her.

Ye Zhanxing’s resolute face dawned in her eyes, and Qin Youxuan’s eyes suddenly widened!
