Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

Saturday's dawn arrived as promised, and the soft sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, caressing every inch of the room.

Huo Chenyuan woke up early and felt a warm feeling in his heart as he looked at Lin Yunzheng who was still asleep beside him.

He gently kissed Lin Yunzheng's forehead. The touch was as delicate as a newly opened petal, awakening her dormant tenderness.

Lin Yunzheng opened her sleepy eyes and was greeted by her lover's eyes full of pampering and expectation. This day was destined to be different.

With the rising sun, they embarked on a journey to take wedding photos.

Arriving at the studio, under the skillful hands of the makeup artist, Lin Yunzheng's face was like a lily in the moonlight, elegant and refined; Huo Chenyuan was made to be extraordinarily handsome with a restrained edge.

In front of the camera, the two of them are left with only each other in their world. The photographer skillfully uses light and angles to capture the brilliance of that moment.

Lin Yunzheng, dressed in white gauze, looked like an angel fallen into the mortal world, pure and flawless; Huo Chenyuan, dressed in a suit and tie, his deep eyes hiding a myriad of stars. Every time they approached, every smile, was frozen into an eternal picture.

The photographer captured every moment with the camera, from the affection in Huo Chenyuan's eyes when he gazed at Lin Yunzheng, to Lin Yunzheng's beautiful smile, each photo seemed to be telling silent words of love.

In between shots, those casual whispers and low laughs turned into the most genuine happiness and were all captured by the camera.

The beautiful time of taking wedding photos passed quietly, and the camera recorded countless warm moments. After taking the photos, Huo Chenyuan looked at Lin Yunzheng, his eyes filled with deep apology and reluctance. "Yunzheng, there is something I want to tell you..." He spoke slowly, his voice gentle but slightly hesitant, "The dean's assistant came to see me today."

"what's up?"

"I'll be going to Canada next week for an important academic visiting conference, which is a rare opportunity for me. I know it's only two weeks until our wedding, but I promise that no matter what, I will be back on time and not miss the most beautiful day of our lives."

A flicker of surprise flashed across Lin Yunzheng's eyes, but she quickly nodded in understanding. "I understand. Your career is just as important," she said, her tone filled with support and trust. "I'm sure you can handle this."

Next, Huo Chenyuan took Lin Yunzheng to visit Huo's mother.

Huo Chenyuan took Lin Yunzheng into the hospital corridor. The white walls reflected the quiet environment. Only the light footsteps and the regular sounds of monitoring equipment in the distance broke the moment of peace.

Today, they came to visit Mrs. Huo who was staying in a private ward.

Pushing open the door, inside the ward, Mrs. Huo was sitting by the bed, holding a book in her hands. The sunlight outside the window sprinkled on her pale cheeks, adding a bit of soft light, but it could not hide the alienated air surrounding her.

"Chen Yuan, you're here." She moved her eyes away from the pages of the book and glanced at Lin Yunzheng who was following her son, her brows slightly frowned.

Lin Yunzheng walked forward lightly with a gentle smile on her face. She walked to Mrs. Huo and said softly, "Mom, I came to see you specially. I hope you will recover soon." Her words were sincere and full of concern, which instantly added a little warmth to the ward.

Mother Huo raised her head slightly, perhaps because she had not expected Lin Yunzheng to come to visit her again.

After a long moment, she put down the book in her hand and stroked the bed sheet with her fingers, as if weighing something. Finally, she nodded gently. Although her voice was still cold, it was less distant than before: "You... have worked hard. Come in and sit down."

Half an hour later, after coming out of Huo's mother's ward, Huo Chenyuan said to Lin Yunzheng, "Before we go abroad, let's go visit your mother together again."

Lin Yunzheng nodded, thinking that he was very thoughtful.

Before arriving at Lin's mother Chen Xueli's house, Huo Chenyuan carefully selected several exquisite gifts, including a fresh fruit basket and nutritional supplements.

Lin Yunzheng's eyes flickered with emotion, and she expressed her heartfelt gratitude for Huo Chenyuan's thoughtful consideration. The two of them stepped into the house, and were greeted by the kind smile of Lin's mother. Although the years had left their mark on her face, her eyes still shone with warmth. "It's so great that you can come! Our house hasn't been this lively in ages," Lin's mother said, her voice filled with joy and relief.

The day before Huo Chenyuan went abroad.

At dusk on Monday, the sky was dyed with a touch of light purple, and the sun shone down, covering the city with a layer of golden gauze.

Huo Chenyuan finished his busy day early and put on a well-tailored navy blue suit with his shirt collar half open, revealing a casual charm.

There was anticipation in his eyes, and a smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Huo Chenyuan drove his car and arrived at Lin Yunzheng's company building on time to wait.

In his hand, he held a bouquet of exquisitely wrapped white roses, with crystal dewdrops on the petals, obviously picked early in the morning.

Lin Yunzheng walked out of the building, wearing an elegant white chiffon shirt, a dark blue long skirt, her long hair gently tied up, and a pair of shallow-mouth high heels, showing the gentle temperament of a woman.

Inside CELLO, a French restaurant in the city center, the two sat at a window table under the warm yellow lighting. The night view outside was dazzling, with twinkling stars, while the soft lighting inside created a warm and intimate atmosphere. Huo Chenyuan ordered Lin Yunzheng's favorites, foie gras and cream of mushroom soup.

Just as the two of them were immersed in this rare world of two, enjoying the delicious food and good times, Huo Chenyuan inadvertently raised his head, and his gaze happened to pass over the table diagonally opposite, where Song Tiancheng and his friends were sitting.

Song Tiancheng was also dressed in dark colors. Unlike Huo Chenyuan's formal style, his style was more casual. A linen shirt paired with khaki trousers made him look casual and tasteful.

Huo Chenyuan discovered that Song Tiancheng's gaze seemed to drift towards Lin Yunzheng's direction many times inadvertently. Every gaze was so meaningful, seemingly intentional and unintentional, making the atmosphere in the air subtle.

Song Tiancheng's friend, Gu Chen, a cheerful man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and sitting across from him, keenly caught his friend's gaze and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Hey, are you staring at that lady over there? Is she your friend? Do you want to go say hello?"

Hearing this, Song Tiancheng paused the small knife and fork in his hand in mid-air, then slowly put it down. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said in a low but firm voice: "No, that's not necessary. I want to talk to her, but now is not the right time."

He looked in Lin Yunzheng's direction again, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, but he just looked at her from a distance.

He understood his friend's thoughts like a mirror, so he coughed lightly and said casually, "Hey, Mr. Song, I noticed you're particularly focused today. That lady seems to have captured your complete attention. A young man as talented as you must have seen all sorts of beauties, yet you're so timid now? This isn't like you."

Song Tiancheng was amused by his friend's sudden joke, but he didn't hide his inner thoughts. He shook his head gently, his eyes soft and affectionate, "Brother Gu, you don't know, this question is a long story."

Seeing this, Gu Chen once again displayed his unique sense of humor, "Wow, our President Song's inner world is really rich and colorful! I can't believe that the big boss who is usually decisive and resolute would turn into a shy little boy when he meets someone he likes." As he said that, he exaggeratedly made a forehead-stroking gesture, which made Song Tiancheng laugh as well.
