80s Marriage Swap: My Should-Be-Dead Husband Lives On-Chapter 176: An Ending

Jiang Jingming held Sang Yu, his voice gentle: "There’s no helping it, having a genius designer at home, I inevitably pick up some things."

Upon hearing Jiang Jingming’s words, Sang Yu’s lips couldn’t help but curl upwards.

"Tell me a story," Sang Yu suddenly said.

Jiang Jingming looked down at Sang Yu’s expectant eyes and nodded slightly: "What do you want to hear?"

"Anything you like, just tell one." Sang Yu found a comfortable spot in Jiang Jingming’s embrace and lay there, ready to listen.

Jiang Jingming tucked the blanket around Sang Yu and with a voice as melodious as a cello, began narrating the story.

Sang Yu listened to Jiang Jingming’s voice and slowly drifted to sleep.

...

Outside, the red ribbons gently floated by and fell inside the window.

They grazed the festive character stuck on the window.

Looking inside, one could see even more festive characters around the room, with a large double happiness symbol on the wall and red balloons decorating the whole place.

The entire room was filled with an atmosphere of joy.

"I’m so nervous," Xu Ru’an said, gripping Sang Yu’s hand.

Sang Yu held Xu Ru’an’s hand back, comforting her: "Don’t be nervous."

Xu Ru’an sat on the bed, wearing a pure white wedding dress, with all her hair gathered at the back.

Her full forehead and pretty features were revealed.

Her face was painted with exquisite makeup, looking like a girl on the cover of a magazine.

Liu Qinghuan, Jiang Ning, and Xu Ru’an’s friends were accompanying her in the room.

Xu Ru’an looked at herself in the mirror, feeling surreal about getting married just like that.

It felt like a fleeting moment, as if she was still bickering with Lu Yuan the previous second, but now they were actually getting married.

Even now, Xu Ru’an felt like it was all a dream.

"Really unexpected, Ru’an, you and Lu Yuan, those sworn enemies, are actually getting married one day."

Xu Ru’an’s friend knew the relationship between Xu Ru’an and Lu Yuan best; initially, they were like fire and water.

Any encounter would surely lead to a quarrel, and neither side would yield to the other.

But now, Xu Ru’an and Lu Yuan were actually getting married.

Others might not feel anything, but it was different for her.

"Not really, I think Lu Yuan has always liked Ru’an," said one of Xu Ru’an’s club members.

"Ah? How did you see that?"

"Isn’t it obvious? Wherever Ru’an is, Lu Yuan will be there, and many times it seemed like Lu Yuan specifically came to find Ru’an. Sometimes I’d see him leave right after meeting Ru’an, but I feared saying it out loud seemed inappropriate, so I kept quiet.

Moreover, I’ve seen Lu Yuan quietly watching over Ru’an several times from a distance.

I intended to give Ru’an a heads up, but seeing how Ru’an seemed uninterested in Lu Yuan, I never mentioned it."

"Wow, that guy Lu Yuan really hid it deep."

This was something Xu Ru’an hadn’t expected; she never asked Lu Yuan when he started liking her.

Lu Yuan had never talked about past matters either.

"So, does that mean Lu Yuan secretly had a crush on you for a long time?" Jiang Ning sidled up to Xu Ru’an and said.

Xu Ru’an’s face blushed: "No way."

Jiang Ning: "What do you mean no? This is clearly a long-standing crush, no wonder he likes you so much; it turns out his crush has finally come true."

Xu Ru’an felt her face burning even hotter.

Just then, noise from downstairs signaled the arrival of Lu Yuan with the wedding procession.

Lu Yuan wore a sharp suit, his face shed of youthful naiveté, replaced by a mature and steady aura. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Following him was his group of groomsmen, which included Wei Lai.

Wei Lai was also in a sharp suit today.

A Mercedes was parked downstairs, Lu Yuan and the group entered the house, greeted Auntie Pang and Xu Cheng, then moved to the second floor.

"Quick, quick, go block the door."

Jiang Ning said excitedly.

It was her first time being a bridesmaid, feeling quite novel.

She was very proactive.

Everyone followed Jiang Ning to the door, where they started using various means to challenge the wedding procession.

However, Lu Yuan and his group broke through them all.

When Lu Yuan burst in and saw Xu Ru’an, time seemed to stand still.

In Lu Yuan’s eyes, there was only Xu Ru’an in her white wedding dress.

Those who rushed in behind pushed Lu Yuan: "What are you standing there for, hurry!"

Lu Yuan snapped back to reality and walked towards Xu Ru’an.

Xu Ru’an was nervous too, but watching Lu Yuan walk awkwardly towards her made her tension fade away.

Lu Yuan stood in front of Xu Ru’an, momentarily unsure of what to say.

The person next to urged, "Kneel!"

Lu Yuan instinctively knelt before Xu Ru’an, and not just one knee, he knelt with both knees.

Instantly, the room erupted in laughter.

Xu Ru’an’s tension completely vanished at that moment, she too couldn’t help but laugh.

"Lu Yuan, what are you doing? Single knee, you’re kneeling to give your bride away?"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan quickly raised one knee.

"Lu Yuan, are you too nervous?"

Lu Yuan just smiled.

"Oh my, stop arguing, if you keep talking, how is Lu Yuan supposed to speak?" Jiang Ning chimed in.

"Alright, alright, we won’t talk anymore, Lu Yuan, it’s your turn."

Lu Yuan knelt with one knee before Xu Ru’an, his gaze sincere and devout, eyes full of deep affection as he looked at Xu Ru’an: "Ru’an, will you marry me?"

Xu Ru’an hadn’t yet opened her mouth.

The people around jeered, "Marry him, marry him!"

Xu Ru’an’s face was like a ripe apple, but she still nodded.

The crowd erupted with excited cheers.

Then Lu Yuan picked Xu Ru’an up and carried her downstairs.

He carried her all the way to the wedding car.

After placing Xu Ru’an in the back seat, Lu Yuan didn’t immediately get into the car, but turned back into the house to find Xu Cheng and Auntie Pang.

In front of them, he knelt and bowed three times.

Auntie Pang’s eyes filled with tears: "Stand up, quick."

Lu Yuan didn’t stand, speaking earnestly, "Dad, Mom, please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Ru’an, treat her like treasure, and never let her down."

Auntie Pang wiped away her tears and said: "Good. Treat her well."

Xu Cheng helped Lu Yuan up and patted his shoulder, the meaning implicit.

Lu Yuan nodded towards Xu Cheng.

Then he turned and went outside, getting into the wedding car.

The Mercedes slowly drove away from there.

The noise shifted from this place to another.

Sang Yu didn’t follow along, instead she stayed by Auntie Pang’s side.

"I didn’t expect An’an to get married so soon," Auntie Pang said, watching the departing procession.

Relatives at home comforted, "She’s not marrying far, if you miss her much, just let An’an come back to visit."

"Yes, yes, don’t be too sad, today’s a good day, after all."

"Not sad, not sad, I’m too happy to be sad," Auntie Pang said.
