Chapter 455: So many emotions all at once
Chapter 455: So many emotions all at once
Jinhai didn’t waste any time. He lifted her thin veil and neatly arranged on top of her head because he really didn’t want any distraction while he would be kissing his lovely bride.
Nana’s blushing face was in clear view now. Once again, as he gazed into her brown eyes and traced his sight across her beauty, he couldn’t help but get mesmerized by it. He thought that no matter how many times he saw her, her beauty today would also enthrall him.
“I cannot get enough of it, and I think you are tired of listening to it, but you look beautiful…” Jinhai whispered.
Nana laughed. “I think you must be tired as well, but I let me say this – My husband looks the most handsome.”
“I can never get tired of my wife’s praises.”
Jinhai couldn’t wait any longer. He pulled her in his arms, cupped her face in his hands, and crashed his lips onto hers. At first, he decided that he would be gentle and slow, but after Nana gave his wedding ring that blew his mind off and overwhelmed his heart above maximum capacity, he chucked that thought into the sea.
Now, he only wanted to claim her lips fiercely, and he did just that. His lips covered every inch of her lips, tasting the cherry lipstick along the way that settled a sweet taste on his tongue.
Nana shut her eyes, too, and kissed him back with the same passion as she clutched his head. Today, she let go of all the reservations and shyness and only immersed herself at this moment.
Everybody cheered and whistled and danced, but it was as if Jinhai and Nana had already forgotten the world. The only sounds they heard were their raspy and short breaths, their racing heartbeats, and the mingling of their lips.
As opposed to all the kisses they shared in the past, this kiss today felt completely different to them. It was passionate yet gentle, and every stroke of their clashing lips reinforced the vows they just took. This kiss was a promise they were imprinting in their hearts never to let go of each other and fulfill the vows until the end.
They weren’t satisfied, so for the first time, Nana took the initiative to deepen the kiss, which Jinhai was more than very happy to oblige. Their tongues softly meshed with each other. After what seemed like a long time, they finally parted, still breathless.
The officiant said in a loud voice, “I present before you, Mr. and Mrs. Liu!”
The violinists played a short, beautiful melody to commemorate the fulfillment of this beautiful tradition. Everybody was either laughing or wiping their tears of joy.
Liu Chunhua, Liang Xiao Dan, Yu Ichika, and Chen Liling’s eyes were shining as their cheeks turned slightly damp from crying.
Grandma Liu was emotional, too, and her eyes had turned slightly red.
Even Liu Hai, whose cheerful voice was booming until now, couldn’t help but take this moment for the happiness to sink in as he quietly watched Jinhai and Nana lovingly gazing at each other.
Jing and the twins were hopping and dancing around while Jianyu, Serena and Shin, and Huian looked at them in a daze.
Serena silently clutched her bag again as she saw their joyful reunion. Until now, she was nervous and confused, but seeing them happy and smiling in each other’s arms, her heart gained newfound confidence to confess her feelings and propose to Jianyu. Her gaze darted onto him, and she saw that he was in a trance too.
On his side, Jianyu was having the same thoughts. He was anxious to propose to Serena, but Jinhai and Nana’s wedding and all those beautiful traditions brought peace to his heart.
He felt so calm and serene now that even if Serena were to reject him, he thought that it wouldn’t affect their relationship at this point. And maybe with a bit more time, Serena would finally concede one day.
That arose a new vigor and thrill in him, and every cell in his body tingled with excitement.
On the other side, Huian was truly happy for Jinhai and Nana from the bottom of her heart. She was amazed at herself that one day, she could be sitting in Jinhai’s wedding ceremony without any ill-feeling or jealousy in her heart. She never imagined that she would be so happy seeing Jinhai happy with someone else.
When she saw that look of pure bliss in his eyes, she once again felt so stupid for tricking him into marrying her. That joy…that happiness and that love he felt for Nana could never be forced by any deceitful methods, and she wondered why it took so long for her to realize.
Love wasn’t meant to be forced or claimed.
And as she realized it, she felt a burden lift off from her shoulders.
I don’t have to be guilty anymore. Jinhai is so happy…finally, he got the love that he waited for so long…
That teared her up, and she quickly wiped the corner of her eye.
Shin watched it from a distance and couldn’t help but wonder what Huian thinking.
Is her heart still entangled by him? Is she sad because she is seeing him with Nana? Is she…affected by this wedding?
That somehow didn’t sit well with him. A strange tightness clutched his chest, and he felt uncomfortable.
Liang Zou was satisfied to see his daughter happy and that the ceremony went on smoothly. He only kept thanking God that his family reunited with their long-lost daughter, and they were able to witness this wedding.
“Shin, let’s greet them.”
He nodded in a trance. Jinhai and Nana stepped down from the islet. Shin smiled and hugged Nana.
“I am so happy to see you so happy like this.”
Nana smiled. “Thank you, big brother…” she hugged him back.
Shin then shook Jinhai’s hand and said, “Keep my sister happy. She is the apple of my eye.”
Jinhai solemnly nodded. “I will.”
The couple stepped down, and everybody congratulated and greeted them as they instantly surrounded them.
“Sister-in-law! You amazed us with your hand-made ring for bro! You are so cool!”
The twins furiously nodded. “Nee-chan, that was an awesome surprise!”
Liang Zou was proud. “After all, she is my daughter.”
Liang Xiao Dan stomped on his foot. “She is my daughter too! I gave birth to her. Don’t hog all the credit.”
The Huo family came too and congratulated them.
Huo Xiao Fan smiled. “I am happy for you.”
Nana nodded. “Thank you…A-Aunt…if you don’t mind.”
She was taken aback for a moment, but then she furiously nodded. “Not at all, dear. I am your Aunt. Please do call me that. I…I like it.”
A smile bloomed on her face. Huo Shen and Liwei nodded too. They were happy that everything finally ended all well.
“Mam!!” Meiling and the Natsukashi staff jumped in joy. “Congratulations, Mam!”
“Mam, we are so happy for you!”
“Ahhh, will I get such an amazing wedding too? Mr. Liu did so much!”
“In your dreams! Haha!”
Nana giggled and hugged them.
Assistant Xin and a few employees of Liu Corps were also present who came to Jinhai’s side.
“Sir. Congratulations.”
“Yes, sir! This was the best wedding I ever attended!”
“Of course, it would be! It is our CEO’s wedding, and Sir loves Lady Boss so much. The wedding had to be grand!”
Jinhai smiled and acknowledged. “Thank you. Xin. Announce it in the company that all the employees will get double salary for the next six months and so do all the guards, maids, butlers and every person who works for the Liu family.”
The employees present there were stunned, and they cried tears of joy.
“Boss…boss, you are the best!”
“Double salary…I am already drooling over the bug amount I will see on my paycheck!”
“And for six months! Thank you, Sir!”
The atmosphere was now even more livened up with cheers.
The next hour was filled with fun moments, taking lots of pictures of the couple and with family and friends and fooling around all young and old alike. Everybody had let loose of their image today and just enjoying the day.
The wedding photographer and the media reporters captured every moment and took funny interviews with everyone that resounded the place with loads of laughter.
They knew that as soon as they would publish articles on the wedding anniversary and ceremony, all the people in China and the rest of the world will be spellbound with the century’s grandest wedding. They were more than happy to shoot and cover every part of this celebration.
After getting tired of all the fun, they went for lunch, and without a doubt, the delicious food was from Natsukashi that just melted everyone’s hearts in bliss. Meiling took charge and saw that this would be the best service that Natsukashi might have ever given. It was their precious boss’s wedding, after all.
Jian and Nian were hungry, too, so Nana didn’t waste any time to feed them. Jinhai went with her in a separate room and helped her with breast-feeding to both their sons at once.
As they were done and came out, Liu Chunhua met them. “Oh, you are here. Nana. Let’s get you changed quickly.”
“What is it?”
She laughed. “Did you forget? It’s time for the bouquet toss!”
