Chapter 1074 A Belated Perfection
"Have you two finished showing off?" Teng Zijing stood not far away, hands in his pockets, deliberately keeping a straight face, his tone carrying a hint of mockery and coldness.
The flashes of reporters' cameras clicked incessantly, creating a continuous cacophony of shutter sounds.
Deng Zhouyi chuckled mischievously from the side, "Knowing that President Jiang is good-looking, there's no need for him to steal the spotlight at our wedding, is there?"
Mu Xiaoji's cheeks flushed instantly, and she lowered her head shyly, even her ears felt hot.
Jiang Chengyu raised his right hand, grabbed his sleeve, and gently wiped away the remaining tear stains on his cheek with his wrist strength, his movements were incredibly gentle.
He glanced at Teng Zijing and the other man with a mocking smile, and retorted, "Stealing the limelight? No, no."
With the looks of Master Jing and Assistant Deng, most people can't achieve that, and naturally, we certainly can't either;
We'll simply use the atmosphere of Master Jing and Assistant Deng's wedding to rehearse our proposal during the wedding banquet in a perfectly legitimate way.
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of screams and jeers erupted from the crowd.
Mingye pushed forward, microphone in hand. As a seasoned reporter, he excelled at capturing sensational stories.
"Does what you're saying, Mr. Jiang, mean that you and Mr. Mu will also be having a grand wedding?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoji abruptly raised her head to look at Ming Ye, her cheeks slightly flushed, but she corrected him firmly:
“Reporter Ming, you’re mistaken. It’s me who wants to give President Jiang a grand wedding.”
"Wow! Mr. Mu, you're so adorable!" Mingye's eyes lit up, his tone full of admiration.
"In the previous 'Prison Break' incident, we worked with you to advance prison health checkup activities."
I already knew you were a gentleman of great character. Now, these words have only deepened my admiration!
The flashbulbs went off again, capturing their clasped hands, the smiles in their eyes, and this sudden, sweet promise in a single frame.
Teng Zijing and Deng Zhouyi exchanged a glance, their eyes sparkling with smiles—this wedding had unexpectedly added an even bigger joyous occasion.
"Our reporter in Kunming reports that today, Mr. Teng Zijing, President of Fengteng International, and Ms. An Ran, President of Antai,..."
Congratulations to Deng Zhouyi and Ms. Yu Qianqian on their marriage!
Not long ago, Jingye and Dengzhu's wedding photos were posted on various websites in Kunming.
Everyone guessed that the wedding would be lavish and grand, and might even be held at Xing Teng Restaurant.
Unexpectedly, Grandpa Teng insisted on following tradition and holding the wedding banquet at the Teng family's old villa, which added a touch of rustic elegance.
"What's even more surprising is that this wedding banquet unexpectedly uncovered a 'secret couple'—"
Jiang Chengyu, president of Zidong International, and Mu Xiaoji, the heir of the Song family, have maintained a low profile over the years.
Surprisingly, no one ever doubted their relationship. Please see the interview report from our reporter.
The video feed switched to the scene, where the sound of camera shutters clicking filled the air in the reporters' area.
Senior journalist Mingye, acting as a representative, took advantage of the stage of Jingye's wedding to conduct an impromptu interview about this unexpected romance.
Teng Zijing and An Ran sat hand in hand on the sofa, with Deng Zhouyi and Yu Qianqian on one side. The three groups sat facing each other in a fan shape, creating a relaxed and lively atmosphere.
Holding the microphone, Mingye asked with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Jiang, when did you and Mr. Mu start dating?"
On the sofa, Jiang Chengyu held Mu Xiaoji's right hand tightly with his left, his fingertips gently stroking the back of his hand.
He turned his gaze to the person beside him, his tone both humorous and gentle: "It's hard to say."
When it comes to feelings, how can you remember exactly when they started?
It's like a warm breeze when everything comes back to life; when it blows, you just feel a warm feeling in your heart, but you don't really know exactly when.
Mu Xiaoji turned her head to look at him, a faint smile in her eyes. Sunlight and a warm breeze swept by, sprinkling onto their clasped hands, creating a scene as warm and cozy as a painting.
Those around him couldn't help but laugh when they heard this, and the air was filled with good-natured teasing and blessings.
"So, Mr. Mu, do you value Mr. Jiang's looks more, or his abilities?" Mingye's question was tinged with a hint of playfulness.
Mu Xiaoji turned to look at Jiang Chengyu, and the Feng Yuhang case suddenly flashed through her mind.
His shy yet playful appearance in drag made me smile, and the sweetness in my eyes almost overflowed.
"His everything!" These four simple words are concise yet powerful.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and good-natured laughter, and Mingye smiled and praised:
"Wow! Mr. Mu's emotional intelligence is so high! His answer was flawless."
Teng Zijing chimed in, his tone full of teasing: "Indeed, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I now fully understand the deeper meaning of that saying."
"Wow, Master Jing's evaluation is quite high!" Mingye immediately pressed for more information.
"When did you find out about President Jiang and President Mu's relationship? And what's the basis for this high praise?"
Teng Zijing shrugged and recalled, "It all started after we failed to win the bidding for the project."
I had only heard that Zidong International was on the verge of collapse, and that a young president had arrived.
He revitalized the entire project in just a few months. At the time, I thought he was just a young upstart and didn't take him too seriously.
Later, Mr. Jiang took the initiative to contact me to discuss projects in the Haikou area, and that's when I gained a new understanding of him.
He changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji, a mischievous glint in his eyes:
"As for this assessment... I saw a report online about a murder case involving a game streamer in G City."
There was a video recording of President Jiang dressed as a woman, assisting the police in arresting Feng Yuhang along with President Mu. At that time…
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengyu immediately pointed at Teng Zijing, his cheeks instantly turning red to his ears, as if he had been touched on something shameful.
Seeing this, Teng Zijing laughed even harder: "Haha, I was really amazed by President Jiang's appearance back then!"
As he spoke, he reached out and put his arm around the bride, An Ran's, shoulder. An Ran also extended her slender hand and clasped it in his.
She covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes brimming with approval as she looked at Jiang Chengyu and nodded repeatedly.
The audience erupted in a frenzy, bombarding him with questions: "Brother Jing, when was that video taken?"
"Where can we watch it?" Applause and curious shouts mingled together, creating a lively atmosphere.
Suddenly someone shouted excitedly, "Hey, we found it!" Immediately, someone else chimed in, "What? Let me see..."
Jiang Chengyu was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground. He raised his arm to cover his face and leaned close to Mu Xiaoji's shoulder.
Mu Xiaoji, however, grasped his left hand in return, her eyes brimming with undisguised joy—
It turns out that even this seemingly composed man has moments of embarrassment.
"I never imagined that President Jiang and President Mu had such a heroic story!"
Mingye sighed and led the applause, then posed a question.
"Mr. Mu, judging from the ring marks on your ring fingers, you must have been in a relationship for a long time, right? Could you tell us how many years?"
Mu Xiaoji's gaze first fell on her parents in the VIP seats below the stage, then turned to Jiang Chengyu, her tone carrying a slight sense of melancholy, yet also a hidden certainty:
“When I was studying at medical school in Kunming, we were just good brothers. Later, some misunderstandings happened, and he disappeared for two years…”
A reporter in the audience immediately realized, "That's right! I remember now, Mr. Mu posted a missing person notice online before."
Back then, President Jiang still had a full head of black hair in the photo, and both of them looked quite youthful and innocent. Good heavens, they knew each other back then!
"During the two years he disappeared, I left the company with hatred for my father and went to Los Angeles, the United States, to study."
Mu Xiaoji continued, a ripple of reminiscence appearing in her eyes, "I never imagined that our reunion two years later would be on the operating table—"
He could speak fluent English. We communicated entirely in English during the surgery, and I didn't even recognize him.
At that time, his medical skills had reached the professor level; his control over the lesions during complex surgeries was astonishingly precise, completely exceeding my expectations.
"President Jiang is truly a man of many talents!" Mingye couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Someone in the audience immediately chimed in: "That's right! My elderly mother had a brain tumor that year..."
"It was General Manager Jiang who personally performed the surgery; his skills are absolutely top-notch!" He even gave a thumbs-up as he spoke.
Mu Xiaoji smiled bitterly and continued, "Later, when the annual World Jewelry Competition was held in Los Angeles, my parents met him when they went to the subsidiary to inspect it."
My mother couldn't understand our relationship at the time, and said some sarcastic things, even verbally abusing him...
Those two years of separation made me fully understand his importance in my heart.
In a moment of impulse, I dragged him to the marriage registration office, got our marriage certificate, and we became a legally married couple.
As he spoke, he tenderly lifted their hands, both adorned with rings, the rings on their ring fingers gleaming warmly in the sunlight:
"These rings are a couple's design I created myself. They are one-of-a-kind and were handcrafted by Mr. James, a designer from our subsidiary."
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but plant a kiss on the back of Jiang Chengyu's hand.
The applause erupted again, more enthusiastic than ever before.
The twists and turns, the deep emotions hidden in time, now become the most touching footnotes.
This unexpected "interview" became the warmest chapter of the wedding.
Shu Ya Zi quietly hid in the corner, stroking his snow-white beard with one hand.
A smile played at the corners of her eyes, and she looked on with obvious satisfaction, nodding slightly, then muttering to herself with a hint of reproach:
"These two brats are both so stubborn, they're so fixated on their own ideas, they won't turn back until they hit a brick wall, sigh!"
After all this time and effort, it has finally paid off.
This trip to the mortal realm has been another act of merit. Heh heh, off I go! I'll wait for their good news so I can come back and celebrate their wedding openly and honestly!
After saying that, he glanced into the crowd again and saw the newlyweds smiling at each other.
The tenderness in her eyes was so deep it seemed to overflow, and she quietly turned around, her footsteps as light as a breeze.
Slowly disappearing into the deep greenery of the courtyard, leaving only the fragrance of flowers and the noisy voices of people, continuing to tell the story of this belated fulfillment.
