Chapter 507 - Happily Ever After
Chapter 507 – Happily Ever After
Ever since Jiang Guanyu contracted his cancer last year, Zhan Lian had chosen not to let go of her dignity and face. And when they sent Jiang Guanyu to the hospital to treat him, the cancer cells in his body had spread, so the doctor could only say that he would do his best to prolong his life.
Zhan Lian will never know about all this. Because of the choices she made, Jiang Ruolan meant to tell Jiang Guanyu about this and let him see what kind of woman he chose to live with for more than twenty-five years for the sake of money.
When he first entered the hospital, Jiang Guanyu asked the doctor to find a way to contact Jiang Ruolan. He wanted to see her and Zhou Qingling again. Jiang Ruolan didn't want him to disturb her mother's life again, so she went to see him alone.
That day, she saw Jiang Guanyu's helplessness, remorse, and many things that she couldn't be able to explain clearly. Jiang Guanyu kept saying he was sorry, sorry for ruining the mother and daughter's life, and he wanted to meet Zhou Qingling again.
He wanted to explain to her what had happened years ago. He wanted to explain that there were some things Zhou Qingling never knew about, and he wanted to explain them to her clearly.
Jiang Ruolan didn't give him a chance to explain himself. She just sat on the edge of the bed while feeding Jiang Guanyu the medicine the doctor had given him and said, "It doesn't matter if you really had to do or if that's just the reason for you to ask for forgiveness. If you really feel sorry for her, if she still has a little place in your heart, then don't disturb her peaceful and happy life anymore. Let her not have anything related with you, let her be happier."
On that day, Jiang Guanyu didn't say anything and just quietly drank the medicine. However, before Jiang Ruolan left, she saw the trace of regret in his eyes.
What's the use of it?
It's already too late.
Not all apologies can be exchanged with one sentence. Moreover, his so-called helplessness and regret were unable to redeem the youth of that woman he had hurt.
It was only then that Jiang Ruolan realized that life was really cruel. That the past was irreversible, and every step we took next, there was still one mystery after another. The only thing we could do was appreciate the happiness we could grasp in front of us.

The wedding that Xian Zihao had owed to Jiang Ruolan all this time was finally held.
That day in late summer, in the middle of an ocean of flowers around Lijiang and Shangri-La, Jiang Ruolan was wearing a snow-white wedding dress. Her light gown filled with layers upon layers of bows, and it was said that this butterfly bow was something that a mother should have on her wedding dress.
On that day, Jiang Ruolan's beauty was like a fairy descending from heaven. The hand of the stylist specially hired by the Xian Family seemed to have a magical touch, giving Jiang Ruolan a glorious and beautiful appearance. Standing in the middle of the ocean of flowers, her beauty was truly stunning.
On the left side, on the big screen, the artist told a short story about Xian Zihao and Jiang Ruolan in the form of a sand painting.
Xian Zihao's tall figure can be spotted easily among the crowd.
Because the Old Man had been through so many things these past years, he began to accept Jiang Ruolan and Jiang Yijun's inseparable sibling relationship.
Jiang Ruolan was slowly led by Zhou Qingling and Jiang Yijun. She slowly walked through the ocean of flowers towards the man in the white suit.
"Where are Chiahao and An Na?" As Jiang Ruolan walked forward, she remembered that she had not seen the two children in a long time. She immediately turned and looked at Zhou Qingling and Jiang Yijun.
At this time, in the aisle on both sides of the crowd, Xian Chiahao, who was dressed in a black children's suit with a pink bow tied around his neck and Xian An Na, who wore a beautiful pink princess dress appeared. They both were holding a bouquet of red roses as they waited for her.
"Mommy." Xian Chiahao immediately stood in front of Jiang Ruolan with Xian An Na, giving her the bouquet of roses.
Jiang Ruolan immediately understood why Xian Zihao took so long to prepare for this wedding. This was a wish she had once made, she had said that a wedding was not necessary, as long as their marriage was happy forever. If there really was a wedding, she wished that her children could be a flower boys and flower girl.
A year ago, Xian Chiahao and Xian An Na were just three years old. Although they were very smart children, they may not be able to work well with wedding arrangements. Now, four years old Xian Chiahao and Xian An Na were standing in front of her eyes.
Jiang Ruolan smiled knowingly, bent down, took the rose handed to her. She then kissed the faces of the two children and whispered in their ears, "Mommy loves you."
"We love mommy too!" Xian Chiahao and Xian An Na also kissed each of her cheeks with a smile before they were pulled slowly to the side by Zhan An, who had walked closer.
Finally, the two children were arranged to stand on either side of her, accompanying her in the direction of the man in the crowd.
Jiang Ruolan smiled sweetly, her eyes full of happiness. When her hand was placed gently on his, she felt the warmth of his palms and the firmness of his emotions.
Xian Zihao hugged her tightly before pulling her to his side until they stood side by side in silent understanding.
The sand painting on the big screen continued to play, but the melodious music changed into a more pleasant tune at the same time.
Xian Zihao was looking at Jiang Ruolan with a smile. Before the ceremony started, Bai Jing walked over and joked, "President Xian, how many years do you have to go through before you finally manage to get the beautiful Miss Jiang?"
Xian Zihao sighed and laughed. "It's not easy." He raised her hand, put it to his lips, and kissed it lightly. "Am I right, wifey?"
"You two!" Jiang Ruolan looked at each of them, but her bright and clear eyes were filled with shy smiles. "So many people here, and you're teasing me. Didn't you say that we would hold a low profile wedding?"
Jiang Ruolan turned her head to look at Xian Zihao. "Why are there so many people here?"
Xian Zihao smiled and he seemed to be helpless.
"Do you think these people will miss out on this golden opportunity? Who dares not to come to President Xian's wedding when they hear it? Even if you go abroad to get married, they will definitely fly to participate, let alone get married at home." Bai Jing muttered to the side and then laughed, "What? Is our Mrs. Xian embarrassed?"
"There are too many people, I am indeed a little embarrassed." Jiang Ruolan blinked and looked at Xian Zihao, only to see that he was still looking at her with gentle eyes. She could see clearly every expression and smile in his eyes.
Her face immediately turned red when the wedding symphony was playing. Jiang Ruolan quickly turned around with her hand still in his hand and looked at the people in front of her. The guests were all smiling at both of them. Their smiles were full of blessings.
Jiang Ruolan let out a sigh of relief and a happy smile appeared on her face as she looked at everyone.
Her husband was an influential figure in the business world as well as government. She definitely wanted to have a low-key wedding, but they can't be low-key. Even though the outcome was like this, Jiang Ruolan was very happy and satisfied.
Since heaven has destined her happiness to be witnessed in front of so many people, she will gladly receive this with a sincere smile and blessing.
When the wedding ceremony began, Xian Chiahao and Xian An Na casually stood next to Jiang Ruolan and Xian Zihao. A happy family of four was gathering in an ocean of fragrant flowers for a happy baptism.
Bai Jing looked at Xian Zihao. "Xian Zihao, the groom, please swear in the name of love that you are willing to marry this woman and let her be your wife?"
Xian Zihao tightened his grip on Jiang Ruolan's hand and said seriously, "I'm willing."
"Whether you are in a difficult situation, rich or poor, healthy or sick, are you willing to spend your life with her, never leave her, love her, cherish her, and live together forever?"
"I do."
"Jiang Ruolan, the bride, please swear in the name of love that you are willing to marry this man and let him be your husband?"
"I'm willing!" Jiang Ruolan smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents.
"Whether you are in a difficult situation, rich or poor, healthy or sick, are you willing to spend your life with him, never leave him, love him, cherish him, and live together forever?"
"I do."
"Since you all have made the promise of love with your hearts, then give the symbol of your respective love to the one you love! Please change your wedding ring. When you put this little ring on your lover's finger, it means from now on you will give up your heart and life to each other. May you both love each other and live a happy life. From now on, you will officially be husband and wife. What are you waiting for? Give the most sincere hugs and the sweetest kisses to your life partner! My friends, bless them!"
When the host finished uttering his words of blessing, the ocean of flowers around them suddenly emitted the salutary sound of a cannon. After that, the sky was filled with falling petals.

After the wedding, a family of four went back to Greenville Residence.
Jiang Ruolan changed into her sleeping nightgown and sat on the bed. She then looked at Xian Zihao, who was sitting against the headboard. "Zihao, I think you should start to restrain yourself. If this continued, I'm sure I will get pregnant again. Now, with both little troublemakers in our family, sooner or later, I will have gray hair because of them!"
"Am I still not in control?" Xian Zihao looked so surprised and astonished. "Wife, are you planning to let your husband go fasting until he gives up?"
"Let me calculate." Without waiting for Jiang Ruolan to speak, Xian Zihao took her hand and opened one of her fingertips. "This year, Chiahao and An Na are four years old and they have already gone to kindergarten. You can also relax during the day. If you get pregnant again, you can be queen for another ten months. Your husband is willing to be your servant, so I think it is good for both of us. It's better for both of us to continue to have a child; otherwise, Chiahao and An Na will be lonely. We have to give them a little brother or a sister."
"Lonely my ass!" Jiang Ruolan picked up the pillow and hit his head, "I don't care. Anyway, I'm going to sleep with the kids tonight. You sleep in the master bedroom alone. I need to stay away from the beast!"
She continued to swing the pillow over his head before Xian Zihao grabbed her hand and pushed her to the bed, covering both of their bodies with a blanket.
Family education must not be taken from the husband!
