The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 814 - 782 Wedding (2)

Xiao Muli wasn’t upset by his father-in-law’s threatening words; instead, he firmly held Situ Xin’s hand and looked solemnly at his father-in-law, Situ Haotian, saying, "Dad, rest assured, I will cherish Baby and keep her close to my heart. I won’t let her suffer the slightest grievance. I will love and cherish her for a lifetime."

Xiao Muli gave the impression of a stiff person who wasn’t good at sweet-talking, so when he spoke these words, not only was Situ Haotian very satisfied, but everyone present who knew Xiao Muli couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, marveling at how deep Xiao Muli’s love for Situ Xin was.

Situ Xin, on the other hand, was somewhat immune to Xiao Muli’s sweet nothings, but at such an event, she was still moved by his words.

Situ Haotian had completed his role. After handing over his beloved daughter to the man who would accompany her for life, he stepped down from the stage with a hint of melancholy.

Next, it was time for the wedding witness to step in. The witness for Situ Xin and Xiao Muli was Old Deng. Seeing Old Deng take the stage to witness this couple’s marriage made people marvel once again — the two families’ backgrounds were indeed exceptional to have moved Old Deng, an elder of the nation, to perform this role.

However, if those people knew that the position of wedding witness for Situ Xin and Xiao Muli’s ceremony had stirred up a competition among the senior figures of both the military and politics, what would their expressions be like?

Old Deng, holding the wedding speech, stepped onto the stage. As he did so, he playfully winked at Situ Xin and Xiao Muli, causing Situ Xin to reveal a helpless expression beneath her veil. It seemed like these old gentlemen were becoming more like children as they aged.

However, Old Deng’s playful gesture scared the master of ceremonies, who had never seen this side of Old Deng before. The MC realized with even greater clarity that this was no ordinary couple standing on the stage; their family backgrounds were not the only impressive thing about them. He thought to himself about any opportunity to get close to them.

Meanwhile, as the MC was momentarily lost in thought, Old Deng had already started the wedding vows on his own. "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening! Today is a joyous occasion as Mr. Xiao Muli and Ms. Situ Xin are united in matrimony. First, I represent everyone here to wish the bride and groom happiness, and may all their wishes come true! Entrusted by the bride and groom, I am honored and delighted to be their marriage witness. Through meeting, knowing, and loving each other, they have reached this unforgettable moment of becoming husband and wife. Let us offer our warmest congratulations! Now, on behalf of everyone present, I have a question for the bride and groom. Groom, do you take this woman to be your wife? To love her, be faithful to her, through poverty or wealth, in sickness and in health, till death do you part, and are you willing to hand over the financial control of the household to her?" Old Deng finished with a brilliant smile directed at Situ Xin.

The whole venue burst into laughter because of Old Deng’s last question. Situ Xin was quite helpless; she remembered that the wedding vows she had seen earlier didn’t include that phrase. It was obviously something Old Deng had added on the spot.

Xiao Muli, however, looking at Situ Xin, said seriously, "I do."

"And the bride, are you willing to take this man to be your husband? To love him, be faithful to him, through poverty or wealth, in sickness and in health, even till death,"

"I do," Situ Xin replied solemnly.

"I hereby declare: The love between Mr. Xiao Muli and Ms. Situ Xin is sincere. They are fully prepared, both mentally and materially, for their future together. Their union is logical, and the procedures are legally valid! Green Mountain is your witness! Xiu Shui is your witness! The friends and relatives present are your witnesses! May you respect, love, forgive, and help each other in the days to come. No matter whether the future holds smooth sailing or rough paths, may your hearts always be joined together, treating each other as the reliant partner for a lifetime, walking towards a bright tomorrow."

"Now, please exchange rings," said the master of ceremonies, who had recovered his composure during Old Deng’s speech. After his earlier lapse, the MC was fully alert, not wanting a minor mistake today to jeopardize his future.

The wedding ring was personally designed by Xiao Muli. Situ Xin hadn’t seen it before, so as the master of ceremonies finished speaking, her eyes sparkled with curiosity.
