When she said, “I’m scared,” Jiang Feng’s voice trembled noticeably.

That was a reaction Ming Yue knew all too well.

It was just like when she thought of her family, when she thought of Sister Lin Xi…

Ming Yue’s heart gave a little flutter, and her small hands instinctively wrapped around the man beside her.

One of her palms rested on Jiang Feng’s back, gently patting it a few times. “You silly, don’t be like this. I’ll take good care of myself.”

“Ming Yue!”

Jiang Feng called out to Ming Yue, as if he wasn’t entirely satisfied with her answer.

Ming Yue quickly went along with him, replying, “All right, all right! I promise, okay? From now on, whenever something like this happens, I’ll never be so reckless again. I’ll always tell you first, discuss it with you first—okay?”

“Mm!”

Jiang Feng finally felt relieved and gave a firm “mm.”

Outside in the kitchen, the cooking continued.

Inside the bedroom, warmth was spreading.

The two outside were using their everyday lives—cooking, cleaning, and managing household chores—to create a cozy, contented atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the two inside were quietly communicating through silent gestures, painting a picture of this hard-won peace.

Time passed quickly.

After Liu Qingqing, in a pitiful yet helpless manner, finally managed to appease Zhang Yang, and after Zhang’s parents didn’t say much about it either, Liu Qingqing, who had been worried for days, thought the whole thing was finally over.

Her wedding could proceed as normal now.

During that time, nothing unexpected happened, and she didn’t see that red-eyed Ming Kai again.

Everything seemed to have finally returned to normal, moving forward just as she had planned.

Then the two of them successfully obtained their marriage certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

With the wedding fast approaching, Liu Qingqing not only resolved all her current troubles but also, quite unexpectedly, brought both her maternal grandmother and her mother to her wedding ceremony, where they witnessed her getting married firsthand.

This is one of the things every woman looks forward to most at her own wedding.

Compared with the situation before, when neither her grandmother nor her mother could attend her wedding, Liu Qingqing was already more than satisfied with how things turned out now.

No wonder the old saying goes: “Fortune often lies in misfortune, and misfortune often brings fortune.”

Sometimes what seems like a bad thing isn’t necessarily a bad thing at all.

Take, for example, how Zhang’s parents, after discovering clues about her, secretly went to Ningcheng to investigate her.

Wasn’t that originally a dead-end situation that she managed to turn around?

There’s nothing surprising about it.

On the contrary, it actually helped her a lot.

After all, she couldn’t keep this secret forever; sooner or later, those two would find out the whole story.

And when that day came, there would surely be a huge uproar.

So why not take advantage of the current momentum and proactively tell Zhang Yang about it?

That way, not only would her predicament be easily resolved, but she’d also leave a very sincere impression on Zhang Yang, making it easier for her to secure that man firmly.

In fact, it helped her!

As for those two old troublemakers from the Zhang family… how foolish of them not to realize it themselves! Did they really think they could bring her down just by doing that?

How laughable!

Their actions didn’t bring her down at all—they actually did her a huge favor!

It was like lifting a rock only to drop it on their own feet!

Looking at her beautiful wedding dress, Liu Qingqing almost couldn’t help but smile. She got up early in the morning and headed straight to the salon for her makeup, just as she had arranged beforehand.
