Feng Jingge put the little one down.
“Xiao Han, go to the hall and stay with Grandma. Don’t run around, understand?”
The child nodded. “Got it, Mom.”
Little Xiao Sihan trotted out, and Feng Jingge then let them cover her with a red bridal veil.
Originally, they were going to hold a Western-style wedding, but Feng Jingge insisted on a traditional Chinese one.
Because when she first married Xiao Jinghan, it had been much the same as this moment.
Xiao Jinghan, if you still don’t come, I’m going to marry someone else.
Please come quickly, okay?
But in the end, when the wedding took place, Xiao Jinghan still did not appear.
Not many people attended the wedding either. Feng Jingge had said before that everything should be kept simple.
Xiao Jingqi also understood her thoughts and went along with her wishes.
Only Xiao’s mother felt a little puzzled.
But young people had their own ideas—she wasn’t the type to rigidly interfere.
As long as they were happy and could live well after marriage, that was enough.
After the toasts were completed, Feng Jingge was helped into the bridal room.
She sat quietly in the room, a faint sense of melancholy in her heart.
After a long while, she heard the door open, followed by approaching footsteps.
Feng Jingge didn’t move, only asked:
“Are we sleeping in the same room tonight?”
The other person did not respond.
Feng Jingge frowned slightly.
“At the beginning we agreed, after marriage we would interact as friends.”
Still, there was no answer.
She felt increasingly puzzled.
Just as she was about to speak again, a pair of red cloth boots appeared before her eyes.
Feng Jingge was confused. Why wasn’t Xiao Jingqi speaking?
Could it be that he was unhappy about a traditional wedding?
“Are you unhappy because I insisted on a traditional wedding?”
“If that’s the reason, then we can cancel this wedding…”
“Jingge…”
That voice…
It was Xiao Jinghan?!
Feng Jingge suddenly lifted her red veil—and the person in front of her was indeed the one she had been longing for day and night.
She couldn’t believe it, even thinking she might be hallucinating from missing him too much.
“Xiao Jinghan…”
The man simply looked at her without speaking.
Feng Jingge became even more convinced it was an illusion.
She stared at him deeply, slowly raising her hand to touch him—but hesitated.
She was afraid that if she reached out, the illusion would disappear.
“Xiao Jinghan, why haven’t you come yet?”
“I’ve been waiting for you every day.”
“I miss you so much!”
“Are you doing well now?”
“Oh right, our child is a boy.”
“He looks just like you… very handsome…”
As she spoke, her eyes turned red, her vision becoming blurry.
She didn’t even dare wipe her tears, afraid that in the next moment, Xiao Jinghan would disappear.
“If I didn’t come, you would have married someone else.”
Xiao Jinghan suddenly spoke. Before she could react, she was pulled into his arms.
“Do you know? For the past three years, I’ve been searching day and night for a way to come to your world.”
“Fortunately, hard work paid off. Su Xiu and Old Man Cui’s method succeeded.”
“They sent me to you…”
In order to come to Feng Jingge’s world, Xiao Jinghan had suffered greatly.
Each experiment by Su Xiu and Old Man Cui was like a trial, attempting to send him across.
Every failure would damage his body further.
His health gradually deteriorated.
Fortunately, the final attempt succeeded. Even though his body was no longer as strong as before,
being able to see Feng Jingge again made everything worth it.
Feeling his warmth and hearing his words, Feng Jingge finally snapped back to reality.
She looked up at him.
This wasn’t an illusion.
It was really him.
He really came.
She gently touched his thin face; dark circles lay under his eyes.
It was clear he had not slept well for three years.
Nor had he eaten properly.
“How… did you find this place?”
Xiao Jinghan held her hand and kissed her palm.
“Actually, I arrived yesterday.”
“At first, people here thought my clothes were strange and avoided me.”
“Later, a woman came and asked where I was from. I didn’t answer her.”
“I only asked her if she knew Feng Jingge.”
“She said she did, and that today was your wedding.”
“I wanted her to bring me here, but she said she was busy and would bring me tomorrow when she came for the wedding drink.”
Feng Jingge frowned. “What was that woman’s name?”
Xiao Jinghan shook his head. “I don’t know. I didn’t ask.”
“…”
“She probably let you stay overnight, right?”
“You stayed at her place for a night and didn’t even ask her name?”
“I didn’t want to ask, so I didn’t.”
He said it so matter-of-factly that Feng Jingge felt helpless.
“How about this, they’re still drinking outside.”
“Let’s go out now, and you can tell me who that girl was.”
But Xiao Jinghan held her back.
“Jingge, we haven’t seen each other for three years. I just want to stay with you.”
“Now that you’re here, we’ll have plenty of time later…”
“Wait—no.”
Feng Jingge finally realized something: Xiao Jinghan was wearing a red wedding robe.
“Why does your outfit look like a wedding dress?”
“This is a wedding robe.”
Something felt wrong. She blinked at him.
A thought suddenly formed in her mind.
“Xiao Jinghan… the one who married me today… was it you?”
He frowned slightly in mock seriousness.
“If it wasn’t me, then who did Madam want it to be?”
“My brother Xiao Jingqi?”
“…”
Feng Jingge raised her head.
“Be honest with me. Did you and Xiao Jingqi plan today’s wedding together?”
“Not exactly.”
Xiao Jinghan had indeed arrived yesterday.
Coincidentally, the woman he met was Xiao’s mother’s attending doctor.
Although Xiao’s mother didn’t have cancer, her health wasn’t perfect.
Xiao Jingqi worried and had hired a doctor to check on her regularly.
Yesterday, when that doctor came to examine her, she happened to meet Xiao Jinghan.
And Xiao’s mother was there too.
Even after so many years, Xiao Jinghan recognized her at a glance.
And she recognized him too.
After nearly twenty years apart, mother and son finally reunited.
Xiao’s mother thought she was dreaming, crying with joy as she held him.
Later, she called Xiao Jingqi to come.
After the family reunited, shock turned into joy, and everything was explained.
Although Xiao Jingqi had a slight affection for Feng Jingge, now that Xiao Jinghan had returned, he naturally would not take what belonged to someone else.
Besides, he was a person who did not want marriage.
“So Jingqi told me everything. That’s why I was the one who married you today.”
“Oh, right—our baby also really likes me.”
“Jingqi didn’t let him call me Dad, but he still called me Dad.”
“He said he likes me a lot and wants to live with me in the future.”
Feng Jingge raised an eyebrow. “Is that because of blood relations?”
“Maybe.”
Xiao Jinghan hugged her and kissed her lips.
“Jingge, from now on, we can stay together forever, until we grow old.”
Feng Jingge wrapped her arms around his neck.
“Yes. We will grow old together, never parting.”
