Love Symphony: Let Your Heart Beat for Me-Chapter 158 - 82: The Beginning of an Idea

The mountain road winds, halfway up the mountain, distant mountains layer upon layer, like rolling waves, distinct and magnificent under the summer sun.

They had lunch outside and went straight to the cemetery.

As usual, they bought lilies and placed them in front of his father’s tombstone. Fu Weiheng squatted down and carefully examined the black-and-white photo on the tombstone. Suddenly, a mix of emotions curved his lips into a smile.

Su Wan saw him smile to himself and curiously asked, "What’s the matter?"

"It’s nothing..." Fu Weiheng raised his hand to wipe a speck of dust from the picture with a handkerchief, stood up, looked at her, and smiled, "I just feel that we are destined to be together for a lifetime."

In the vast sea of people, the multitude of living beings;

Only you and I understand each other;

You and I promise each other.

May we have years to look back on and cherish deeply together unto old age. [Modern poem "Old Age" quote]

Nothing is too late.

...

Su Wan smiled gently, turned around, and bowed slightly to the tombstone, "Dad, I got married today." She pointed to Fu Weiheng beside her, "With him."

Fu Weiheng leaned forward, his expression solemn, "Dad, I will protect her all my life."

The sound of his clear, crisp voice was as calm as ever, yet it contained thousands of sentiments.

Su Wan looked at his refined, tranquil facial features and smiled again, softly saying, "Well, Dad agrees."

The August wind carried a hint of warmth, blowing her ponytail askew, with the afternoon light slanting along her side, stretching her shadow; her fair, pretty face blossomed with dimples, smiling gently and charmingly.

A flutter in his heart, Fu Weiheng reached out to embrace her, calling softly by her ear, "Wife."

The warm breath brushed past her ear, and suddenly, a blush spread from her ear to her cheeks.

In the evening, they went back to the Fu Mansion for dinner. Mr. Fu was overjoyed to hear they had registered their marriage and insisted on taking Su Wan alone to the study.

Obeying his wishes, Su Wan left Fu Weiheng with Fu Quan and went upstairs to the second floor.

Once in the study, the old man went straight to a safe behind a low cabinet, took a brocade box out, and handed it to Su Wan, saying, "Open it and have a look."

Su Wan complied, unclasped the tiny lock, and opened the lid, to be greeted by a brilliant jade bangle.

She looked up at Fu Quan, puzzled.

The latter smiled, his weathered wrinkles revealing themselves, "It was prepared by little Heng’s grandmother, meant to be given to the granddaughter-in-law."

Su Wan was stunned.

"I wanted to give it to you last time you visited, but this old age makes me forgetful, and I just suddenly remembered," Fu Quan’s eyes deepened with a smile, "Wanwan, take it, we are all family now, no need to refuse."

As he said this, Su Wan’s initial words of refusal got swallowed back, and she turned to smile, "Thank you, Grandpa, thank you, Grandma."

Fu Quan, feeling gratified, patted her shoulder as he headed for the door, and Su Wan quickly freed one hand to support him.

He said, "Now, Grandpa hopes you and little Heng will quickly give Grandpa a great-grandchild while I’m still here..."

Su Wan stopped in her tracks, seriously, "Grandpa, you’ll live a long, healthy life."

Seeing her suddenly serious expression, Fu Quan was startled, then laughed, his voice hoarse, "Grandpa will take your kind words."

Su Wan: "Mm."

That night, they stayed over at the Fu Mansion.

After showering and coming out of the bathroom, Su Wan found that Fu Weiheng had already taken a shower in the guest room and was wearing a cotton T-shirt and sport pants, leaning against the headboard reading a book.

She stood at the bathroom door for a moment, realizing... tonight was their wedding night.

Having just dried her hair, the places touched by the hairdryer remained warm. A thought popped into her mind, and the warmth on her skin instantly seeped into her bones, causing her blood to boil all over, feeling uncomfortable even with the air conditioning on.

Su Wan scratched her neck, casually walked to the other side of the bed, lifted the thin blanket, and slipped in.

The air conditioner vent was on the side of the bed, and once she sat on the bed, the cool breeze blew away the heat, making her feel much more comfortable.

Fu Weiheng glanced at her, "What did you talk about with Grandpa?"

She reached for her phone from the bedside, thought for a moment, and replied, "It’s a secret."

Fu Weiheng squinted his eyes, didn’t press further, and turned his gaze back to the book.

Then, Su Wan opened the Weibo app she had downloaded earlier and refreshed her feed.

Her thumb slid across the screen a few times and happened to see a trending topic #How Did You Fall in Love with Your Partner#

Su Wan’s fingertip paused, genuinely pondering it for a while...
