"Do me a favor, OK? Help me with the wedding ceremony. "
"I …"
"I know you don't want to, but I don't have any other choice. I don't want to agitate my mother," Qian Lan said as she grabbed onto Mo Zichen's arm. "I can promise you that we'll hold a ceremony, but we won't register a marriage certificate. After that, you can choose who you want to marry and we won't have anything to do with each other."
"But …"
"Zichen! Help me. "
No matter how Mo Zichen thought about it, he felt like he had been tricked. But, he still ended up being dragged onto the wedding car by Qian Lan.
The bridesmaids were all Qian Lan's colleagues. When they saw that she was brave enough to change the groom, they were completely impressed.
Since they were already in the car, Mo Zichen decided to help her out. After all, he was going to be a lecturer today, so he had to dress formally.
…
The wedding was small, but there were plenty of soldiers present. Including Qian Lan's friends and family, there were only 20-30 guests. But, Mo Zichen could tell that Mother Qian, who was sitting in the front row, did not look well. She looked like a patient.
Qian Hui and Father Qian were also present, including Xu Chunhao. As soon as they saw Mo Zichen, their eyes grew wide in shock.
Where was the groom?
Why did he change him at the last minute?
So, how did this look like a wedding? It was more like a car accident!
Seeing this, Mother Qian stood up and asked, "Are you joking? Where's the groom? "
"Here," Qian Lan replied as she hooked her arm around Mo Zichen's.
"I know who he is, but he's not your groom. Qian Lan, this is your most important day, don't joke around."
"I'm not joking. I'm marrying this man today," Qian Lan said to the wedding host. "Let's begin. His name is Mo Zichen."
The wedding host was a little surprised, but he quickly nodded his head, "Then, I'll begin …"
Everyone thought it was ridiculous, but they still allowed Qian Lan and Mo Zichen to complete the process.
It was too ridiculous. Even though Mother Qian found out that the groom had run away, she still grabbed someone to make up the numbers. Qian Lan was getting more and more daring. Not to mention, she even grabbed her ex-boyfriend. Wasn't things getting messy enough?
Mo Zichen knew that everyone was saying that Qian Lan was ridiculous.
Because even if the groom ran away from the wedding, no one would catch him to make up the numbers. However, didn't his parents do it before?
With this thought, Mo Zichen paused the wedding ceremony, turned around and bowed to everyone. He then explained, "I'm sorry everyone, I was indeed caught by Qian Lan to make up the numbers because the groom ran away."
"Although the wedding is a mess, it's great that Qian Lan's parents are present. I feel that I am the one that can give Qian Lan happiness. So, I hope Auntie and Uncle can hand Qian Lan over to me."
"To be honest, Qian Lan isn't ready to get married yet. The only reason why she's doing this today is to reassure auntie."
"So, the groom ran away and Qian Lan had no choice but to capture me, her neighbor."
"But, since I'm already here, even though this wedding doesn't count, I feel that I am the person that Qian Lan can entrust her life to. Auntie, what do you think? Can we put an end to this farce? "
After hearing Mo Zichen's words, Mother Qian looked at Qian Lan, "If Mo Zichen hadn't stepped in, how much face would you have lost today?"
Qian Lan looked at Mo Zichen and smiled, "Mom …"
"What do you mean he ran away from the wedding? I only know one groom. Since the ceremony is already halfway through, let's hold on until it's over. After all, the Qian Family isn't going to acknowledge anyone else today."
Qian Lan looked at Mo Zichen with a troubled expression.
The entire scene looked so real and fake that Mo Zichen couldn't tell them apart. Luckily, Qian Lan whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, after the ceremony is over, we will still be friends like we were before."
Mo Zichen nodded his head and turned around to face the officiator of the wedding.
Soon, the wedding ceremony was over. Afterwards, Mother Qian said to the guests, "I've made a fool of myself today and made everyone laugh at me. My daughter is currently a Second Lieutenant, but she's still very immature. I would like to apologize on her behalf."
"In that case, I would like everyone to treat today as an engagement ceremony. When they get married, the Qian Family will definitely let our daughter marry in style."
Mother Qian's words dissolved the awkwardness of the ceremony. Everyone understood what Mother Qian meant and clapped their hands to congratulate Qian Lan.
After the ceremony was over, Mother Qian invited the guests to rest in the hotel. Only then did she start to lecture Qian Lan, "It's been 5 years. You've been away from home for 5 years and this is all you've given me?"
Mo Zichen stood behind Qian Lan and watched as she received Mother Qian's lecture.
"You previously said that you wanted to leave the Qian Family and I let you. I told you not to come back, but what are you doing now?"
"Putting on an act to make me happy?"
"You almost angered me to death. Luckily, Zichen stepped in to save the day."
Mo Zichen looked at Mother Qian carefully and realized that she had changed quite a bit.
It seemed, it was because her family had been investigated and she'd had enough of the fickleness of human nature, so she became a little more tactful.
5 years ago, Mo Zichen had never met Mother Qian and they had never crossed paths. But, he couldn't help but investigate Qian Lan's family. So, he knew what Mother Qian was like 5 years ago.
"But, since things have gotten to this point, I still want to ask, Zichen, did you mean what you said just now or were you just trying to brush off the guests?"
"Of course, you've helped us. Tell me honestly, I won't blame you."
"It's just a small matter. Auntie, you don't need to take it to heart," Mo Zichen replied with a hidden meaning.
"I understand," Mother Qian nodded. "In that case, everything that happened today doesn't count."
Qian Lan looked at Mo Zichen with a slightly disappointed expression, but it quickly disappeared.
"No, what I mean is, I'm willing to be with Qian Lan again."
Mo Zichen looked into Qian Lan's eyes and said, "Since we weren't fated to be together 5 years ago, let's try again in 5 years. If it still doesn't work out, I won't force it."
Qian Lan looked at Mo Zichen in shock …
"Are you being serious?"
"But, Qian Lan, I need to tell you the truth. 5 years ago, when you broke up with me, I spent a lot of time recovering. So, it's possible that I still hate you. If you want to be with me, you need to be mentally prepared that I may not be able to get close to you at first!"
After hearing this, Qian Lan nodded her head and revealed a bitter smile, "I understand …"
"If you approve of this engagement ceremony, then it counts."
