Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 524 Princess and Prince Charming's Wedding (3)

Zizi harrumphed. "I had to run in my wedding dress because of you two! You are my Dad's. How could you fight like children like this? And how could you even think that I could choose one of you and leave the other one aside?"

An Guoting and Han Tian were terribly embarrassed even though their hearts were jumping in joy.

"Oh God! My makeup!" Zizi gasped in shock. "I am still not done with my makeup! It's all your fault! If I don't look the prettiest bride today in the whole world, then you two would be at fault!"

Zizi vanished like a storm as quickly as she had arrived.

An Yueqin folded her arms. "Happy now? I told you many times not to worry about this, but you didn't listen to me! Let me go and help her with her makeup now!"

An Guoting coughed.

Han Huizhong sneered. "Idiots. You two should be left at the kindergarten. The kids are more mature than you."

Han Tian glared at him. "Dad! If you cannot take my side then at least don't throw shades over your own son!"

"Throwing shades at people is my job. Have you just been born?"

"..."

—

The time arrived, and Yunru, the handsome groom dressed in white shirt and suit, waited for his beloved Princess to come.

The bells softly chimed at her arrival, and he saw Zizi slowly walking down the aisle hand in hand with her two father's. An Guoting was on her left while Han Tian was on her right.

A shy but anticipating smile laced on her lips, and her heart thudded louder the closer she reached Yunru's side. Her white wedding gown beautifully shimmered under the golden sunlight that softly lit up her path through the windows.

Not tearing his gaze off from hers even for a second, Yunru took a silent breath admiring his Princess. He offered his palm which she eagerly took in.

Han Tian and An Guoting 'warned' Yunru in their own way to take care of their daughter and love and protect her for the rest of her life.

Yunru smiled and gave a firm but gentle nod, silently promising that he would. The fathers' eyes ached with love and melancholy. Their daughter was all grown up to start her newly married life.

"Time flies so fast…" Han Tian whispered.

An Guoting couldn't agree more.

Ziz climbed two steps and faced him. They gazed at each other, lost into each other's eyes. Their hearts felt one and in sync. It felt as if their heartbeats were perfectly matching in rhythm.

The officiant started the wedding ceremony with the proper rituals and speech.

"Mr. Soo. Please say your vows."

Yunru took a deep breath. "On our first date, I had arrested you. I locked your wrists with the cuffs, not knowing that they would tie us forever," he chuckled. "And I am so glad they did. That one meeting changed everything. Our start was rocky. You were the spoiled Princess from whom I wanted to stay away from. But now, you are my beautiful Princess without whom I cannot imagine living my life. Thank you for coming into my life and giving me a reason to love once again. It's not just today, but ever since I realized that I love you, I vowed to protect you. I will always cherish you, support you, scold you if you are too stubborn, tease you but until the very end, I will always keep loving you. That is my promise to you."

Zizi burst into tears right at that moment.

"Hey, hey! No crying. You will kill me if I ruin your makeup," he wiped his forehead in full on panic mode.

His best friend and colleague, Feng Xiao, smirked. "That's just fine by me."

"Shut up Xiao!"

Everybody laughed, and the church echoed and bustled with bliss and joy.

Zizi sniffled and carefully wiped her eyes with a tissue. "It's not my fault!"

The officiant smiled. "Miss Han. Please say your vows."

She nodded and stared into his beautiful black eyes that held immeasurable love and warmth for her. Those orbs reflected only Zizi and nobody else.

"Yunru. On our first date, you arrested me! How dare you!" She harrumphed, making him chuckle, "And then you gave me that nickname which I hated…at first. But then I started to like hearing Princess from your lips. I loved it more and more until I didn't even realize when I started wishing to listen to it forever. Before that, I even cursed Grandpa why he chose you as my husband."

Han Huizhong's expression turned ugly. "Hey! It's because I have a good taste which clearly, you didn't!"

Zhiyuan and Xinyi laughed and shook their heads.

Zizi coughed. "I understand now. And I cannot thank you enough for forcing me to go on a date with Yunru and locking me into his prison of love forever."

Yunru choked.

Shuang's mouth twitched.

"Pfft…" Ah Cy rolled in laughter. "So cheesy."

"Shut up Ah Cy."

Caihong smacked her. "Shoosh! Don't ruin her moment."

She mumbled in complaint.

Zizi ignored them. "It's a prison I am willing to give up my life for. You are everything a woman would want in her husband. I promise that with me by your side, I won't let any trouble befall you. I will stay by your side whether in happy or sad situations. I promise I will one day cook the most delicious feast for you without burning down your kitchen."

Yunru coughed.

"But above all, I promise to love you even if you get grey hair one day because my husband will still be the most handsome man in this whole world!"

His heart skipped several beats, and now he felt tears rim in his eyes. "Thank you Princess…"

They proceeded to put the rings on each other's fingers, and the officiant declared. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

But before Yunru could even lean in to kiss, Zizi already hopped in his embrace and pressed her lips on his.

Yunru and everybody else - "..."
