The clear skies on the second day seemed to be a good sign.

Early in the morning, I was urged by the young master Shang to knock on the door every two minutes, and I was tormented by the suspicious gaze of the makeup artist, and finally accompanied the bride to change her clothes and draw her makeup, and hurried to the church.

Unlike the lavish banquets I've attended, this wedding was more like a hearty family gathering, attended not by the richly dressed business and political elites, but by Allen and Nora's colleagues and friends at the hospital, all smiling with blessings and witnessing the sacred occasion.

I originally thought that Shang Xunyi's friend should be either rich or expensive, but sure enough, everything about him must be completely beyond my expectations.

I watched Nora slowly led by her father to the groom under the background of the wedding march, and her wedding dress stretched out the mark of happiness all the way, which amazed Alan's eye.

"On behalf of the Church, Mr. Alan Carlos, I ask you, on behalf of the Church, before the Most High, Holy and Loving God: Do you want to marry your bride with all your heart, to obey God's commandments in the Bible, to live a godly life with her, whether she is happy or poor, rich or poor, good or bad, healthy or sick, you will respect her, help her, care for her, love her with all your heart, and faithfully build a harmonious family with her throughout your life, and glorify God and benefit others. Would you like to? ”

Alan looked at Nora, smiling and firm, "I do." ”

"Bride ......"

In the priest's vows, Shang Jingyi gave me a look, and I knew it was time to give me the ring.

"I do." Nora stared at Alan as if she had taken in the world, and her crimson cheeks were the best expression of happiness.

"May God bless you that this ring may be the proof of your eternal vows, and may you love one another from now on, never separate, bound to one another, and be one forever!"

Shang and I stepped forward and handed the ring over.

But strangely, neither of them immediately took out the ring to put on the other, all eyes were on Nora, she took off the ring that she had originally worn on the middle finger of her left hand, and handed it to Shang Xunyu.

In my slightly puzzled gaze, Nora smiled brightly, "I wish you happiness." ”

"May the Lord bless you." Alan continued, his eyes drenched in happiness, "I wish you all the best in the name of the Carlos family, and in accordance with the tradition of the Carlos family, you can get a lifetime of happiness by proposing to the girl you love with the bride's engagement ring." ”

At this moment, I suddenly understood everything.

It turns out that this is the true reward that the Carlos family has given to those who find the ring for generations—an ancient blessing, and an engagement ring that carries the happiness of the bride.

I thought Nora's "I wish you happiness" was just a simple blessing, but now it seems that she and Alan clearly misunderstood that she was proposing to me with this ring, no wonder Eren had such a meaningful expression when she looked at me yesterday.

It's just that the surface of things is far less complicated than the truth, and the kindness of the Carlos couple is only a misrepresentation.

The two sides exchanged rings, and Shang and I returned to the guest seats.

"In the Most High Father, the Most Beloved Son, and the Most Holy Spirit, I declare you to be husband and wife, and that of what God is united cannot be separated. God is with you forever, Amen. ”

The priest's prayer is accompanied by the chanting of hymns, which sows divine blessings for the wedding.

"What are you thinking?" Shang Xun on the side approached me and said in a low voice.

Don't look at him, "At the wedding, of course, it is a blessing for the newlyweds." ”

He seemed to chuckle, but his tone was serious, "You can't lie in front of God." ”

I glanced at him, and though I was not a Christian, I could not help but want to put aside the disguise I had been careful about at a time like this, in a church where there should be no concealment of solemnity.

"I'm thinking about this tradition of the Carlos family," I said, smiling with appreciation, "and being able to incorporate the idea that helping others is the source of happiness is really meaningful and creative." ”

"Oh, you like it?" His eyes lit up inexplicably, and there was a hint of frivolity in his tone, "Otherwise, we will try it too, and by the way, we will continue this happiness." ”

"Excuse me." I raised an eyebrow, "I don't have Stockholm syndrome." ”

He laughed and shook his head helplessly.

"But I have a question for you." I looked at him and spoke suddenly.

"Huh?"

I paused, and slowly said the question that I might never have asked, "You said that the reason why you agreed to Zosi's proposal back then, in exchange for the long-term cooperation between the two families through business marriage, was to gain some benefits from it, but ......" I frowned, and poured out my long-standing doubts to him: "You obviously have the ability to choose, are you willing to be bound in the shackles of business marriage for the rest of your life, and live with a woman who has no emotional foundation with you and even had a grudge against her in middle school?" Don't you think, it's so sad? ”

He didn't rush to answer, but slowly hooked a smile, "That's the reason?" Looking at me, his eyes clouded with an incomprehensible taste, "Ruori, that's why you ran away on the eve of your engagement?" What do you think...... Lamentable? ”

Without much thought, I nodded, "Shouldn't a business marriage without an emotional foundation be defined as pathetic?" ”

He calmly turned his gaze forward, noncommittal, "Ruori, first of all, I want to correct one thing, that proposal was not made by Zoshi on his own initiative, but ...... I offered to ask Zosi for you. ”

The words are as calm as promises, but they are not shocked.

Things were too much for me to comprehend, and I looked at him with a puzzled look.

Not caring about my confusion, he withdrew his gaze, and his empty tone did not fluctuate, "At that time, Zosi talked to me about cooperation, I knew that kid was eager to do something to prove himself to the family, and he would agree to excessive requests, so I asked him for you, and at first he really resolutely disagreed......"

Unable to maintain a calm posture in the face of the occasion, there was a faint fluctuation in my gaze that I could not explain, and I heard my own inquiry, whispering and trembling, "Why ......?"

With that said, I wasn't sure I really wanted to hear his answer.

He shrugged his shoulders and said meaninglessly, "Maybe that conflict, coupled with the contact afterwards, made me think that it might be interesting to live with someone like you." ”

What is ...... called? After the contact?

After that conflict, is it ......

I was about to ask something, but music was already playing around me, and the newlyweds were being escorted out of the church.

The guests had all risen and watched the couple slowly walk towards the door of the church in a happy atmosphere.

The groom's solemn and straight suit, the bride's white gauze skirt like a lily blooming, and the irreplaceable unique look on their faces are the best interpretation of romance at this moment.

I got up too, and my eyes swept over the church door.

The bright sun poured down, as if the gods cast infinite favor on the earth.

It seems that all good days always have such a bright daylight as the occasion.

In the glittering halo, Zosi stands tall, his handsome figure embedded in the scenery-like Gothic buildings, and his appearance is incomparably luxurious.

His chin was slightly raised, and his gaze was on me for a moment.

The look in his eyes was close to the invisible gap in the solemn atmosphere, making him look like a king who was proud of everything.
