Chapter 2620 - 424: Farewell to Parents (Bonus 1)
"..."
Feng Yize opened his mouth but swallowed the words he wanted to say.
His long almond-shaped eyes glanced at Chu Junming beside him.
Chu Junming touched his nose, his gaze withdrawing from Gu Zinan’s bank card.
Envied his older brothers for having such a great brother-in-law.
Mo Ziye glanced at Chu Junming and freed one hand to pat Zinan’s shoulder.
With Zirui in his arms, he stepped forward and raised his hand to knock on the door.
...
Five minutes later.
Ye Zhan led Momo out, while Tang Jinchen walked out of the room, holding Tongtong’s hand.
"Mom and Dad, and Uncle are all downstairs in the living room."
Mo Ziye’s gaze lingered for a moment on Momo and Tongtong, dressed in wedding gowns, before his low voice sounded.
The group headed downstairs.
In the living room on the first floor sat Mo Xiuchen, Wen Ran, Gu Kai, Bai Yiyi, Wen Jin, Jing Xiaocha, Qin Mu, Luo Haofeng, and Bai Xiaoxiao, along with Gu Yan, who had been hospitalized recently.
Yesterday, he also returned home from the hospital, having been brought over just now.
As for Ye Zhan’s and Tang Jinchen’s elders, they were waiting at the hotel and hadn’t come to the Mo family.
Originally walking at the front, Mo Ziye went downstairs and moved to the side.
Letting Ye Zhan and Momo, Tang Jinchen and Tongtong go before the sofa.
The moment Momo met Mo Xiuchen’s eyes, an uncontrollable rush surged within her, her nose tingling, tears shimmered in her eyes.
She wanted to withdraw her hand held by Ye Zhan, but as soon as she moved, Ye Zhan’s grip tightened even more.
Momo looked up at Ye Zhan, whose eyes were gentle yet firm.
Stopping before the sofa.
Ye Zhan spoke first, respectfully saying, "Dad, Mom."
Momo’s voice, with a stutter, "Dad, Mom."
As her words fell, she was about to kneel down.
Mo Xiuchen’s brows furrowed, reaching out to grasp their arms, "No kneeling allowed."
"Dad."
Momo pursed her lips, calling out again with red-rimmed eyes.
Her eyes fixed tightly on Mo Xiuchen.
Seeing the tears swirling in her eyes, Mo Xiuchen suddenly felt a tight discomfort in his chest, his throat blocked, unable to say a word.
Ye Zhan quietly stood beside Momo.
His broad hand firmly holding hers, seeing them gaze at each other silently.
Finally, he spoke low, "Dad, let Momo kowtow and bid farewell to you, or she’ll remain sad."
The atmosphere in the living room seemed to turn oppressive.
Over there, Tongtong looked at Momo from the moment Mo Xiuchen spoke.
Though both were marrying out.
Tongtong and Momo’s experiences differed, so their emotions were different.
Mo Xiuchen understood why Momo was acting this way.
Yet inwardly reluctant, he was making a futile struggle, believing without any ceremony, Momo was merely moving to Ye Zhan’s home like before.
In contrast, with this kowtow, he would feel heartache.
Though Wen Ran also felt sorrow, seeing Mo Xiuchen silent.
She couldn’t help but grasp his hand, softly saying, "Mo Xiuchen, let Momo do what she wants."
Mo Xiuchen knew what was in their daughter’s heart, just as Wen Ran did.
Mo Xiuchen’s hand loosened slightly at Wen Ran’s voice.
Wen Ran pulled him to sit on the sofa.
Momo watched, smiling through tears.
Then she looked up at Ye Zhan.
Straining to pull her hand away from his grasp.
However, Ye Zhan’s gaze was resolute, his grip holding firm.
Before she could speak, he pulled her along to kneel before Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran.
Momo’s nose tingled as tears streamed down.
"..."
Ye Zhan, seeing her tears, frowned with heartache.
Raising his hand, he gently wiped her tears before turning to Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran, saying, "Dad, Mom, thank you for all these years of love to Momo, and thank you for marrying Momo to me. She used to be the princess at home, and from now on, she’ll be my princess."
Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran completely trusted Ye Zhan’s words.
They had seen his goodness to Momo.
Yet their hearts still felt hurt.
Ye Zhan continued, "Please don’t worry that Momo is just moving to a different place. I won’t take her away from G City. She can come home anytime..."
He understood their worries and reluctance.
Wen Ran, seeing Ye Zhan and Momo kneeling, listening to his heartfelt words, wiped her tears and wanted to help them up.
Just then, Momo suddenly kowtowed to them.
Once, twice, three times.
Under Wen Ran’s and Mo Xiuchen’s concerned eyes, she kowtowed three times in succession.
With tears, she said, choking, "Dad, Mom, thank you for birthing me, raising me, teaching me. In the past, I was unfilial, causing you countless worries. In the future, please don’t worry about me anymore, I will take good care of myself."
She turned to look at Ye Zhan, "I will remember your teachings, will work well with Ye Zhan on our marriage, won’t be wilful."
Ye Zhan wanted to wipe Momo’s tears.
His hand moved slightly but held back.
Wen Ran got up to help them, her voice full of gentle love, "You’re not a child anymore, don’t cry. Meeting, knowing, and loving each other is fate. After becoming husband and wife, support each other, understand each other, accommodate each other. Ah Zhan, if Momo has any faults in the future, point them out so she can change them. Though we hope you will love her, you are equals as husband and wife, no need for excessive indulgence."
"Mom, Momo is great. She’ll remain as she was before, I don’t need her to change for me."
Ye Zhan smiled, looking at Momo, her tear-blurred eyes, then added, "If anything truly needs to change, it’s I who should change."
He only wanted her happy, healthy, and joyfully by his side.
Holding hands till old age.
Mo Xiuchen sighed, taking tissues from the coffee table.
He stepped forward to wipe Momo’s tears.
Ye Zhan’s hand instinctively reached out, but halfway, he let it fall.
Momo softly called out, "Dad."
Mo Xiuchen gently touched her head with his other hand, fearing to mess her hair, only briefly brushing before withdrawing.
"Your mom is right, marriage is nurtured by both parties. Whether misunderstandings or disagreements, don’t bottle them up, communicate timely. Whenever you’re hurt, this is your home, come back to us for comfort."
"Dad, I’ve got it."
Momo gently nodded.
Before this day, mentioning marriage, getting a certificate, she hadn’t felt any sadness.
Only happiness and sweetness being with the man she loved.
But somehow.
When wearing the wedding gown, waiting for Ye Zhan to take her away, the previous happiness and sweetness suddenly were overwhelmed by an inexplicable melancholy and reluctance.
Especially when led out by Ye Zhan, meeting Mo Ziye’s gaze in the hallway.
Her nose tingled, making her want to cry.
The twin’s innate connection made Mo Ziye avert his gaze quickly, allowing her to hold back.
But after going downstairs, seeing Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran waiting in the living room, along with other elders who watched her grow up, the sadness she suppressed could no longer be contained.
