“Can you do me a favor? Can you help me complete this wedding?”
“I…”
“I know you don’t want to, but I have no other choice, I don’t want to shock my mother,” Qian Lan practically pleaded as she held onto Mo Zichen’s arm. “I can promise you that we will only hold a wedding, we won’t actually sign any papers. After the ceremony’s done, you are free to marry whomever you want. We will no longer be involved with each other.”
“But…”
“Zichen, help me.”
No matter how Mo Zichen thought about it, he felt like he had been pulled into a trap, but he still let Qian Lan drag him into the wedding car.
Qian Lan’s bridesmaids were made up of her colleagues. When they saw her bravely swap out her groom, they admired her courage.
Since he was already sitting in the car, Mo Zichen decided to play along and do this favor for Qian Lan. After all, he was supposed to attend a lecture that day and he was already dressed appropriately.
…
Qian Lan’s wedding was small, but there were still a few guests from the army as well as Qian Lan’s friends and family. All up, there were only 20-30 people. However, when Mo Zichen glanced at the front row and saw Mother Qian, he noticed that she did indeed look unwell; she looked exactly like a seriously ill patient.
Of course, Qian Hui and Father Qian were also present at the wedding, as well as Xu Chunhao. As soon as they spotted Mo Zichen walk in, their eyes grew wide in shock.
What happened to the groom?
Why did he suddenly change?
How was this a wedding? This was a complete train wreck!
Seeing the scene before her, Mother Qian stood up and asked, “Are you joking? Where’s your groom?”
“Here,” Qian Lan replied as she hooked her arm with Mo Zichen’s.
“I know who he is, but he’s not the groom. Qian Lan, today is the most important day of your life, don’t joke around.”
“I’m not joking. I’m marrying this man today.” After speaking to her mother, Qian Lan turned to the wedding celebrant and said, “Let’s get started. His name is Mo Zichen.”
The wedding celebrant was a little surprised, but he quickly nodded his head and replied, “Let’s get started then…”
Everyone thought the scene was quite ridiculous, but they still let Qian Lan and Mo Zichen go ahead.
It was completely absurd! Afterwards, Mother Qian learned that the real groom had run away and her daughter had randomly grabbed another man to fill in his spot. But, she was being much too brave, especially since the man she grabbed was her ex-boyfriend. Wasn’t the situation enough of a mess as it was?
Mo Zichen could tell that everyone was calling Qian Lan ridiculous.
After all, no one would randomly swap out their groom just because the original one ran away. But, wasn’t that how his parents got married?
With this thought, Mo Zichen temporarily paused the wedding and turned around to bow to everyone. He then explained, “I’m sorry everyone, Qian Lan did indeed grab me to replace her runaway groom.”
“Although the wedding is a mess, it’s great that Qian Lan’s parents are present. I would like to take this opportunity to tell the two of you that I believe I am the one that can bring Qian Lan happiness. So, I hope that Auntie and Uncle can hand your daughter to me.”
“To be honest, Qian Lan was never prepared to get married yet. She simply planned this wedding to give Auntie a peace of mind.”
“Hence, when the groom ran away, she had no choice but to grab me – her neighbor.”
“Since I’m here, I would like to say a few things. This wedding may not be valid, but I believe I am the person that Qian Lan can entrust the rest of her life to. What do you think, Auntie? Do you think this joke should come to an end?”
