With Xie Gui accompanying him during rehabilitation, Gu Yao recovered quickly.

Their wedding date has also been set.

Xie Gui seemed to want to make up for the regret of his hasty proposal last time, and the pre-wedding celebrations were exceptionally grand.

Its main selling point is its deep pockets and wealth.

All properties under the Xie Group were offered at a 10% discount on the wedding day.

Xie Gui booked all the outdoor screens in the capital city for the entire day.

The video playing on a loop is a video of his and Gu Yao's wedding preparations.

The overflowing love between the two can be seen in the video.

At night, a beautiful light show and drone performance celebrated the newlyweds.

The Xie Group's official Weibo account spent the entire day giving away red envelopes and various prizes.

Not to be outdone, Chenxi Technology offered a 20% discount on all products sold in its self-operated stores on the wedding day.

Send your best wishes to the big boss on his wedding day, and you'll have a chance to receive a mystery gift.

This is great news for people who enjoy electronic devices.

Everyone knows that Morningstar Technology's products are good, but you get what you pay for, and they are expensive.

Moreover, they never offer discounts.

This time, the scale of the event is unprecedented.

Everyone was amazed by the grandeur of the wedding.

Amidst a shower of petals, Xie Gui and Gu Yao were led into their bridal chamber.

Amidst the festive red hues, Xie Gui sat upright by the bed, a red veil obscuring his vision.

This was a surprise he had prepared for Gu Yao.

He clutched the hem of his dress, growing increasingly nervous as he listened to the door open.

Xie Gui stood with his head down, a pair of red boots in front of him.

Gu Yao took the wedding scale and lifted Xie Gui's red veil.

Just like when Yan Yu was exposed back then.

Xie Gui looked at Gu Yao, who was also dressed in a traditional Chinese wedding outfit, and his heart couldn't help but pound. He lowered his eyes as if he was a little shy and softly called out, "Husband."

Gu Yao's ears turned red, and through this traditional Chinese wedding room, it seemed as if she could see Yan Yu again.

In the ensuing chaos of war, it's unknown whether that person survived.

That was his first marriage to the fox.

However, it only lasted for two days.

Once we parted, there was no hope of ever returning.

Xie Gui didn't receive a response from Gu Yao, and his head drooped. He clutched the wedding quilt tightly, feeling somewhat flustered.

This was a wish he had finally managed to find out about Di A Yao's: he wanted to lift the red veil and hear someone call him "husband."

Is there something he did wrong?

Xie Gui's face paled.

Unable to resist, she grabbed Gu Yao's wide sleeve, pulling him back to his senses.

Gu Yao turned his head and immediately caught Xie Gui's somewhat self-doubting look.

The grip on his sleeve was unusually strong, as if she was afraid he would run away.

Gu Yao found it somewhat amusing. He placed his palm on Xie Gui's hand and leaned slightly forward. His jade-like face appeared exceptionally radiant in the candlelight, and his handsome features were dazzlingly beautiful.

He smiled and said, "My wife, are you trying to back out? But we've already entered the bridal chamber, it's too late for you to back out now... Sigh."

The boy's somewhat roguish voice abruptly stopped as he was pulled into the soft bedding. Xie Gui's deliberately long hair brushed against Gu Yao's face, causing a slight itch.

Gu Yao looked up and saw the person with a fierce expression pressing down on her wrist. Her fair face turned completely red.

“Now that we’re married, we’re bound together for life. Ah Yao, you can’t escape now.”

Xie Gui had a tense expression on his face.

Gu Yao chuckled softly, like a flower blooming in early spring, his voice gentle and warm, "Yes, I won't run anymore."

I will never run away again in my life.

We will grow old together in this lifetime.

We will spend our lives together watching the wildflowers bloom in full glory.

No illness, no disaster, no hatred, no pain.

Seeing that Xie Gui still had a stern face, Gu Yao sat up and kissed him.

"Alright, we haven't even drunk the nuptial wine yet. Is my wife in such a hurry to consummate the marriage?"

Xie Gui blushed deeply, hurriedly got off the person, and sat upright on the edge of the bed.

Looking at Xie Gui's straight back, Gu Yao smiled, rolled off the bed, sat in front of the wooden table, waved to Xie Gui, and shook the gourd ladle tied with a red thread in his hand.

"My wife, it's best to drink this nuptial wine sooner rather than later, lest you become too pent up."

Upon catching a glimpse of Xie Gui's upright appearance, Gu Yao couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

At least when it comes to marriage, he has more experience than Xie Gui.

Xie Gui stiffened and walked towards the table.

After drinking the nuptial wine.

Aged daughter's red wine is indeed quite intoxicating.

Gu Yao, who had never practiced his alcohol tolerance in this life, went straight for the head.

In the flickering candlelight, Xie Gui looked at the beauty with a flushed face, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily. He caught the woman as she staggered, his voice tight, "A Yao."

Gu Yao stood up from Xie Gui's embrace, looked up at him with a burning gaze that made Xie Gui's heart ache.

“Ah Yao…”

Gu Yao grabbed his face and said mysteriously, "Shh, don't talk, let me talk."

Like a child.

Xie Gui, somewhat helpless, grabbed his wrist and pulled his hand down.

Gu Yao, like a brave soul searching for treasures on Taobao, crouched down stealthily and pulled open the bedside table drawer.

A vibrant red color catches the eye, and the elegant slender gold script leaps across the red paper.

It was a framed marriage certificate.

Gu Yao carefully took out the marriage certificate, pulled Xie Gui to sit on the edge of the bed, her expression gentle yet solemn as she looked at Xie Gui with intense gaze.

"From this day forward, we are bound together in marriage, united in purpose and spirit, our hearts forever intertwined, our love enduring until the end. May our love be as beautiful as flowers and as full as the moon, a time of joy and happiness. Let us vow to stay together forever, until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, and together we pledge our love. This is our solemn covenant."

"Gu Yao, Xie Gui, born in the year of Xin Chou, the month of Wu Xu, and the day of Yi Mao."

The boy's voice was gentle, yet it carried an extraordinary solemnity. In the quiet room, only the sound of the red candle burning could be heard.

Xie Gui could clearly hear his own chaotic heartbeat. He looked at Gu Yao, stammering and unable to speak.

Gu Yao, however, was exceptionally bold. He grabbed her hand and said with bright eyes, "We went through the proper betrothal and marriage ceremony, and I wrote the marriage certificate myself. My wife can't deny it now. You are now a member of the Gu family."

"Even if you don't want to, then... um."

Xie Gui lowered his eyes, pulled the person down, and leaned down to kiss those alluring red lips that were still chattering incessantly.

Gu Yao was stunned by the kiss, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Xie Gui licked his lips, as if savoring the memory, displaying a strong sense of aggression, yet his voice remained incredibly gentle.

"My husband, it's late, you should rest."

Warm breath fell on his ear, and his wrists couldn't break free. Gu Yao had the illusion of being preyed upon, and a shiver ran down his spine.

He tried to move his legs, but they were restrained again.

The boy's jade-like skin was covered with ugly scars, which Xie Gui covered with gentle kisses.

The jewels on his head jingled, and under the warm glow of the red candles, Gu Yao was completely captivated by the beauty.

The jewels and jade were scattered all over the ground, making a clattering sound all night.

Life after marriage seemed no different, except that Xie Gui went from subtly showing affection to openly displaying it.

Gu Yao loved to see the world's scenery, so Xie Gui accompanied him to see the beauty of mountains and rivers.

They snuggled together atop Iceland and witnessed the most beautiful aurora borealis.

They also kissed amidst the endless lavender fields of Provence.

They held a private wedding ceremony for just the two of them, witnessed by the most renowned priest of the Florence Cathedral.

Xie Gui also plucked the most beautiful iris in Florence for Gu Yao.

There's a famous Italian love quote: "I don't want diamonds, I want the iris you brought back from Florence."

They also knelt and bowed three times, devoutly making their most beautiful wishes at Tashilhunpo Monastery along with the Tibetan people.

.........

Gu Yao's body was ultimately injured in the two kidnappings.

By the time one reaches the age of fifty, one is already nearing the end of one's life.

Xie Gui held his hands, which were withered and emaciated from the pain of illness, and tears streamed down his face.

Gu Yao smiled and comforted him, "Brother Xie, don't cry. If you cry, you won't be handsome anymore, and I'll go look at other, even more handsome young men."

The man, who was usually prone to jealousy, seemed to have his spine broken at this moment, saying, "As long as A-Yao can get better, you can see whatever you want."

Gu Yao forced a smile and looked up at the ceiling.

Xie Gui's tears fell onto the back of his hand.

Pain.

But he's leaving...

But... we still couldn't grow old together.

He raised his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes, "Don't cry..."

Xie Gui rubbed his face against his palm, and Gu Yao stared at his face for a long time, unwilling to leave.

But his body was deteriorating.

Inch by inch, and then another inch.

He slowly breathed his last.

Those beautiful, glassy eyes slowly faded and lost their luster, yet they still couldn't bear to leave their beloved.

Xie Gui completely broke his stubborn back and raised his hand to close his beautiful eyes.

He knew perfectly well that Gu Yao had been coughing uncontrollably ever since the first time.

He knew all too well that the time he had stolen was coming to an end...

After Gu Yao's funeral, no one could find Xie Gui again.

Xie Gui handed over the entire Xie Group to his adopted children.

When Si Yan and Qin Yu saw Xie Gui again, he was already in a box.

He ultimately did not make it through.

Following Xie Gui's last wish, they buried him together with Gu Yao.

They are husband and wife.

They should share the same bed in life and the same grave in death.
