Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 992 - 991: One Hundred Percent Reassured

The lights glitter, the music swells, and a red carpet stretches directly from the entrance to the stage.With each step Chu Ge takes, the ground beneath him transforms from heavy ivory tiles to a soft, rich red carpet, and a tender warmth stirs within him.

As he walks toward the stage, bathed in the blessing gazes, he approaches the arch made of fresh flowers. Once on stage, turning around, he sees the smiles on his friends' faces, and an involuntary flutter, like the warmth of spring, fills his heart.

As Chu Ge stands still, the music ceases as well. The male host, Binbin, says a few words to liven the atmosphere, and the female host, Yanyan, begins to speak with a smile.

"Alright, dear friends, our groom, Mr. Chu Ge, is now standing at the happiest altar of his life. First, I would like to ask our groom, if you could express your current feeling in one sentence, what would you say?"

Meeting the gaze of host Yanyan, Chu Ge smiles and says, "Maybe it's like a line from a song, 'After waiting so long, today has finally come; after dreaming so long, I've finally realized my dream.'

Yanyan chuckles lightly and says, "At first glance, our groom seems so manly and handsome, extraordinary indeed. I never expected that Mr. Chu Ge would also be a man of such poetic charm. Certainly, for this utmostly happy moment, this phrase couldn't be more fitting. So, Mr. Chu Ge, who is the person you most want to see right now?"

A gentle smile emerges on the corner of Chu Ge's lips as he directs his gaze toward the two large doors now closed again and says, "My wife, Qin Ruojing."

Host Yanyan nods and says, "Only when the heart is filled with love, can the eyes reflect such direction of love. Dear friends, let us follow the groom and direct our gaze to the one he cherishes most. Let us invite our bride with the most sincere and blessful applause to appreciate the grace of today's happiest woman, Miss Qin Ruojing."

The music appropriately begins to play. Unlike the thrilling tune at Chu Ge's entrance, now the music is warm and gentle. The two door attendants once again open the grand doors, revealing Qin Ruojing in an immaculate wedding dress, accompanied by Qin Yan in a sharp suit. The voice of host Yanyan immediately echoes again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, at this moment, we are about to witness the most heartwarming scene in the world. The bride will take the warm arm of her father and walk to her sacred matrimonial altar. A father is the most steadfast support in anyone's life. Today, this father will guide his daughter from one warm harbor to another blissful shore, writing the resplendent chapter of marriage. Let us offer more enthusiastic applause for them and invite this great father and his happy daughter to enter."

Amidst resounding applause, Qin Ruojing, arm-in-arm with Qin Yan, walks onto the red carpet, arriving beneath the floral archway, making eye contact with Chu Ge, who stands on the stage.

The male host Binbin picks up the microphone and says, "Groom, at this moment, your great father-in-law and your beautiful bride stand before you. Please earnestly tell them, do you have the confidence to make this beautiful woman in front of you happy?"

Without hesitation, Chu Ge nods, "Yes!"

The female host Yanyan adds, "In front of everyone bearing witness and offering blessings, our groom has given a definite answer. I have no doubt that if this responsibility of making the bride happy needed a time limit, for our groom, that would be a lifetime. Groom, if I am not mistaken, go to the side of the woman you love the most, your bride."

"Let's get married, let's get married, entrust your happiness to me..."

To the melody of "Let's Get Married," Chu Ge steps towards Qin Ruojing, not needing to do anything intentionally, a tender and gentle smile spills over his face.

"Friends, at this moment amidst this heartwarming atmosphere, for our bride, this is the handover between the two most important men in her life; it is more than a handover of responsibility, it is a handover of commitment."

As the female host Yanyan speaks, Chu Ge has already reached Qin Ruojing and Qin Yan. She continues, "Let us invite the three of you to place your right hands together."

Chu Ge extends his right hand to rest upon Qin Ruojing's, and over the back of his hand lies Qin Yan's palm.

"Now, could our groom, in front of your beautiful bride and all present friends, make a promise to your father-in-law? Tell him how you will take care of his daughter, whom he treasures so dearly, this woman who, starting today, will be your wife?"

Chu Ge chuckles and scratches his head with his other hand, "Actually... I used to hate doing the dishes, but ever since I met her, I've done the dishes many times. I think when my wife doesn't feel like doing them, I might just keep on doing them, right?"

Upon hearing Chu Ge's words, the whole room burst into laughter. No one expected Chu Ge to make such a remark. Even Qin Yan couldn't help but laugh, and Qin Ruojing playfully rolled her eyes at Chu Ge with a hint of resignation.

The host, Yanyan, truly lived up to her reputation as a renowned host. Despite Chu Ge's rather unconventional answer, she merely gave a light chuckle and continued speaking.

"Alright, it's clear that our groom is a down-to-earth person. This kind of answer is very grounded, just like the saying, 'Do not neglect small acts of kindness, and do not commit small acts of evil.' Life isn't always about big, dramatic moments. It's the simple, everyday things that form the eternal theme of our lives. If, after I get married, my husband can help me wash the dishes, I believe I would feel very happy too."

After finishing her statement, the host Yanyan turned her gaze towards Qin Yan.

"Alright, in this romantic and sacred moment, since our groom has expressed his sincere and straightforward thoughts, may I ask if this father has any advice or blessings for the two children?"

Qin Yan looked at Qin Ruojing, then at Chu Ge, and after a brief pause, said, "Everyone knows I'm a policeman, and an old cop who's been in the force for most of my life. Honestly, I'm not someone who allows sand in my eyes, to put it bluntly, I'm a bit of a stubborn mule, sometimes strict to the point of being unreasonable."

"However, even with my critical eye, I can't find any faults with my son-in-law. I have nothing but blessings for him, no advice, because I believe no matter what, my son-in-law will do better than I can. If my son-in-law wasn't so outstanding, how could I possibly let him marry my precious daughter? I trust him completely with my daughter!"

Hearing Qin Yan's words, almost everyone had a bit of surprise in their eyes. Clearly, no one expected Qin Yan to have such high praise for Chu Ge, especially since those present all had some understanding of Qin Yan. As he said himself, he's not the kind of person to say nice things just for show; he always speaks his mind, no matter the occasion.

If it wasn't for Qin Yan's stubborn demeanor and temper, given his achievements and detective skills over the years, how could it be that only this year did he finally rise to the position of detective captain?

Amid the uproar, Qin Yan looked at Qin Ruojing again and continued, "If there's any advice, I'll give it to my daughter. Washing dishes and cleaning the floor, that's not for the men to do. Have you ever seen me wash dishes at home? You are now Chu Ge's wife, so you mustn't bully little Chu anymore. As a wife, you should act like one."

As Qin Yan finished, beads of sweat appeared on Chu Ge's forehead. Although he could understand his father-in-law's traditional views, was it really appropriate for Qin Yan to bluntly say such things in front of so many people at their wedding?

The corner of Qin Ruoying's eye twitched violently, feeling a strong sense of speechlessness. Bully Chu Ge? What a joke. In their time together, she was mostly the one being bullied, wasn't she?

Sure, Chu Ge had washed the dishes a few times, but he'd caused a lot of trouble too. Oh Dad, you just haven't seen it...

Even the two hosts couldn't help but chuckle, lightly coughing a few times to cover up their amusement.

With these reactions, it was obvious what the rest of the crowd's reaction would be. Many burst into laughter without the hosts needing to say much, and there was an even more enthusiastic round of applause than any before. The younger crowd cheered loudly, blowing whistles.

Taking advantage of the applause, the two hosts finally managed to suppress their laughter, and it took almost a full minute before the clapping began to die down.

"Alright, it's clear that our bride's father is very forthright and holds our groom in high regard. Since that's the case, let's invite this great father to take his daughter's hand and entrust her lifelong happiness to the groom."

With the host Yanyan's words, Qin Yan placed Qin Ruojing's hand into Chu Ge's. A large and a small hand tightly clasped, fingers interlocked.

Meanwhile, in a private room at the wedding banquet, Pan Dongren watched the scene unfold on the screen, a slight smile curling at the corner of his lips.

Qin Yan's expression is quite nice now, with that rare genuine smile breaking through his usually stern face. This is what they call 'old heart comforted', most likely.

However, old Qin, your daughter's wedding might not end with you smiling, right? Hehehe...
