Chapter 2131 Honesty and Fairness, and Bai Su's Wedding

Walking with Bai Su on the familiar streets gave Zhou Chen a feeling of déjà vu, as if it were yesterday.

When he first transmigrated to this world, the first person he met who spoke to him was Bai Su. It was Bai Su who took him to find a hotel to stay in, and the two talked a lot along the way.

Walking with Bai Su on familiar streets again today, he couldn't help but think of their first meeting. More than two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Perhaps it was a meeting of minds, but Bai Su also uttered a sigh.

"Zhou Chen, do you remember the first time we met?"

Zhou Chen replied with a smile, "Of course I remember. It was when I first returned to China. I was standing alone on the street, a little confused. If it weren't for your help, I probably would have spent a lot more time there."

Bai Su also laughed and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. Even without me, you can ask any random passerby for the details."

"That may be true, but I just happened to meet you, which proves that it was fate, that God brought us together."

"You really think so?"

"Of course, I've always believed in fate. Some people are not destined to meet, even if they want to, they can't. Others are destined to meet, and we are one of those destined people."

Bai Su glanced at Zhou Chen silently and said softly, "If that's the case, then why are you with Xiao Qiao again? We met first."

This has always been a thorn in her side. When she met and fell in love with Zhou Chen, she had Sang Qiuyu, her fiancé, by her side, so they were destined not to be able to openly express their feelings to each other. But Sang Qiuyu left, and Zhou Chen had a girl named Xiao Qiao by his side, and they had been together for a long time before she did.

This made her feel that her relationship with Zhou Chen was too dramatic and too unstable. She even wanted to give up at one point, but she couldn't get over her own conscience. She couldn't help but want to see Zhou Chen every time, which made her feel like she wasn't herself anymore.

Zhou Chen could hear the sorrow in Bai Su's tone. Bai Su was such a cheerful and generous woman, yet she was so upset because of this matter. One could imagine how conflicted she was.

Zhou Chen suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Bai Su very seriously.

"When it comes to feelings, there's no order of priority, Bai Su. I know you're conflicted right now, but to be honest, I can't bear to give up either you or Xiao Qiao. I know you're different from Xiao Qiao, and you have your own thoughts, but I just want to tell you what I think."

"Bai Su, I like you. I want to be with you. I know I'm being selfish and fickle, but I just want you to stay by my side. I can't accept you leaving me and being with another man. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache so much I can hardly breathe."

"I'm telling you this not to pressure you, but because I'm planning to send Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao back to Deep Blue. I don't know how long it will take to get from Earth to Deep Blue, but I estimate it will be a rather long process. So I want to be honest with you before I leave, otherwise I'm afraid I'll regret it."

Bai Su had been listening attentively, her eyes following Zhou Chen's words. But when Zhou Chen finished saying he was leaving Earth for Deep Blue, her expression immediately changed.

"You're going to Deep Blue?"

"Yes, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's hometown is Deep Blue. They can only live best in Deep Blue, and they need energy to live better and healthier. Although there are ways to recharge on Earth, it is still incomparable to Deep Blue. So it is best for them to return to Deep Blue."

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words, Bai Su fell silent. After a long while, she finally asked, "You said it was to send them off, but actually it was for Xiao Qiao, is that right?"

Zhou Chen said truthfully, "Part of it is, but actually I also want to go to Deep Blue to see. You should remember that I once told you that my biggest purpose in researching aliens and alien technology and obtaining the Stone Coffin Spaceship was to go to life-bearing planets in outer space to see for myself. Now that I have this opportunity, I don't want to miss it."

Bai Su recalled what Zhou Chen had once told her; he did indeed have the idea of ​​going to outer space, and this was not something he said casually, but a genuine thought.

Have you ever thought about me?

"Of course, that's why I'm telling you all this. I don't want to have any regrets, and I don't want you to have any regrets either. No matter what choice you make, even if I'm unwilling, I will only support you. I not only want you physically, but also your heart. If your heart isn't with me, then everything is meaningless to me."

Bai Su fell silent again. She understood Zhou Chen's meaning. If she chose to give up, Zhou Chen would probably leave Earth with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao soon and head to the Deep Blue. But how could she bear to do that? Who knew if Zhou Chen would ever come back, or how many years it would take for him to return?

Unlike Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, she is just an ordinary Earthling with a limited lifespan. It is very likely that she will be gone during one of their interstellar journeys, so time is the thing she can't afford to wait for.

"If I don't want you to go to Deep Blue, would you be willing to stay and stay with me?"

"So, you're willing to accept Xiao Qiao?"

Bai Su gritted her teeth and said those words.

"I don't know if I can accept it, but I know I don't want to lose you like this. I want to be with you, for a lifetime."

"A lifetime isn't enough."

Zhou Chen embraced Bai Su and said softly, "For me, a lifetime is not enough. I heard from Xiao Qiao that there is a way to extend lifespan in Shenlan. After I go there, I may be able to find this method. Or I can send them back first and then come back to pick you up. We can go to outer space and see a different world with Shenlan."

Bai Su herself is an adventurous person, so when she heard Zhou Chen's suggestion, her eyes flickered, clearly showing that she was somewhat tempted.

“But a round trip would take so long, and I’m afraid I can’t wait.”

"Believe me, it won't be long."

Zhou Chen asked Xiao Qiao how long it took them to come to the Milky Way from Deep Blue. According to her, Deep Blue's technology was already capable of space jumps, especially those powerful interstellar tourism companies, whose spaceships were even faster, possibly taking less than a year or two.

"Before you leave, will you marry me? I can accept Xiao Qiao's existence, but I hope you can marry me in the proper way we live on Earth."

Bai Su raised her head and looked at Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen answered without hesitation, "Yes, I am willing to marry you. I will marry you properly, with a grand wedding procession."

Bai Su chuckled: "Forget about the eight-bearer sedan chair. It's not feudal anymore. Western-style weddings are popular now. I want to wear that pure white wedding dress and we'll take wedding photos together. As for the wedding, I also hope it will be in a church, but I don't want to invite too many people. I just want our relatives and friends."

"no problem."

Zhou Chen would naturally agree to this request, as it is a right that every woman should have. He has always been accommodating to the woman's requests when it comes to the wedding, and he can accept anything as long as it's not unreasonable or nonsensical.

After Bai Su said those words, everything else followed naturally. Although Bai Laoda and Bai Qiwei had tried to persuade Bai Su, her mind was made up. She had been arranged to marry by her father, but now she wanted to decide for herself the most important thing in her life.

Only a person truly knows their own feelings. Perhaps in her father's and brothers' eyes, Zhou Chen's philandering and having multiple women was very unfair to Bai Su, but she was willing to do it herself. More than that, she didn't want to lose Zhou Chen. Besides Zhou Chen, there was no room for anyone else in her heart.

So, in the following days, Zhou Chen and Bai Su began to prepare for the wedding. They went to Shanghai to take the best wedding photos and then held the wedding in a church. Although Bai Su did not want to have a big wedding, she still had many relationships with both the Bai family and Zhou Chen's side that she could not refuse. Therefore, a lot of people attended the wedding, including Wesley.

However, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao did not attend Zhou Chen and Bai Su's wedding. Xiao Qiao was currently staying with Da Qiao at Da Qiao's villa.

The wedding was a lively affair, but Da Qiao's villa was unusually quiet.

Da Qiao paced back and forth, while Xiao Qiao sat quietly, reading a book.

Seeing her sister like this, Da Qiao became very angry.

"Xiao Qiao, what are you thinking? Your man is marrying another woman right now, and instead of stopping him, you're sitting here reading a book. I think your brain is completely malfunctioning. What are you thinking?"

Xiao Qiao slowly raised her head, her face serene: "I didn't think anything of it. I don't think there's anything unfair about it. I'm not from Earth, and the way Earthlings marry isn't suitable for me. Zhou Chen told me that he will come back to Shenlan with us and marry me in the way Shenlan does."

Seeing her calm and indifferent demeanor, Da Qiao was still very angry.

"I really don't know what to say to you. How could I have a sister like you? You're nothing like me. You believe everything he says? He even said he'd go back to Shenlan together and marry you the way Shenlan does. You believe him?"

"Of course I believe you. Why wouldn't I believe you? Zhou Chen has never lied to me, Bai Su's existence has never been hidden from me, and he told me about the marriage beforehand."

Xiao Qiao looked serious and asked in return, "Sister, if it were the Wandering Gentleman of the Universe, do you think he would lie to you?"

"Dare he?"

Da Qiao shouted without hesitation, then said with certainty, "But the Cosmic Prodigal is different from him. He would never do this to me."

"Perhaps, but I don't know about other things. But I do know one thing: if it weren't for the Cosmic Wanderer, you wouldn't have suffered so much. I know you endured all that suffering willingly, but what did you gain in the end?"

Da Qiao had been criticized by Zhou Chen before, and now even Xiao Qiao was commenting on her, which made her very unhappy.

"I'm talking about your business right now, why are you telling me all this? Forget it, I can't be bothered with you anymore. You're so useless, what can I do?"

Just as Da Qiao was about to turn and leave, Xiao Qiao suddenly said something.

"Zhou Chen said that the spaceship will be launched to return to Deep Blue in one year."

Da Qiao suddenly turned around and asked urgently, "Really?"

“It’s true, he said it himself.”

"very good."

Da Qiao rarely showed a smile. Compared to being able to return to Shenlan, Zhou Chen's marriage to Bai Su was nothing to her.

"But his idea is quite good. He'll spend a year with Bai Su after the wedding before he's willing to send us away. Why bother with all that? He could just give us the spaceship and the key and let us start it ourselves."

Xiao Qiao shook her head and said, "That won't do. I've already made a deal with Zhou Chen. Wherever he is, I'll be there. If he doesn't want to go to Deep Blue, I'll stay on Earth with him. I'll only go back to Deep Blue if he's willing to go."

"You really..."

Da Qiao was at her wit's end with her younger sister.

Zhou Chen and Bai Su's wedding was a great success. Although Bai Laoda and Bai Qiwei were somewhat dissatisfied with Zhou Chen having another woman, their dissatisfaction gradually dissipated when they saw the wedding. From the wedding scene and the process, it was clear that Zhou Chen was indeed very devoted to Bai Su. Whether he cared or not was actually quite easy to see.

Of course, part of the reason is also due to current social factors. We have just come from feudal society, and many feudal customs have not yet disappeared. For example, the three wives and four concubines of the past have now become concubines. In powerful and wealthy families, it is normal for a man to have seven or eight concubines.

It's not unacceptable that someone like Zhou Chen, who has a confidante, is willing to marry Bai Su in a formal and respectful manner. The most important thing is that Bai Su herself is also willing to be happy.

Because he had made a promise with Xiao Qiao that he would go to Shenlan with her and her sister a year later, and Bai Su was already mentally prepared, Zhou Chen spent most of the year after the wedding with Bai Su, accompanying her to many places across the country. Their relationship steadily warmed up after marriage.

Xiao Qiao was truly very gentle. She rarely bothered Zhou Chen during the year. For her, it was only a year anyway, and she could just endure it. Besides, Zhou Chen often met with her and spent time with her during the year.

A year is neither long nor short, but for Bai Su, it was very short. With her reluctance, the year quickly passed, and it was time for Zhou Chen and Xiao Qiao to meet.

On this day, a group of people gathered in the Zhou residence: Bai the eldest and Bai Qiwei from the Bai family, Cao Cao and Ling'er. They gathered here because they knew that Zhou Chen was leaving Earth today and heading to the Deep Blue, so they all wanted to witness this magical moment.

The stone coffin spaceship had been carried to the open space inside the mansion and had been opened. Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao stood by, waiting quietly.

Zhou Chen was standing with Bai Su. Bai Su gripped Zhou Chen tightly with both hands, her eyes were red, and her breathing became heavy.
