Zhou Yi and Jian Shuyue slipped wedding rings onto each other's fingers, then held hands and gazed into each other's eyes before their lips met.
Warm applause immediately erupted from the guests.
Among the bridesmaids stood a slender young man with delicate features.
It was Shen Mo, who had just graduated from Public Security University that July. Along with the other guests, he was applauding enthusiastically, offering his sincerest blessings to the newlyweds onstage.
After slogging through four years, he had finally graduated. At last, he could fulfill his old vow, put his abilities to work, and repay Zhou Yi for saving him all those years ago.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yi had risen far too quickly. With so many talented people working under him, he had no need for help from a rookie fresh out of school.
Oh well. I'll just have to see how things go!
He turned his gaze toward his beaming godparents and thought that this was probably the happiest moment of their lives.
Zhou Yongxin and Guo Dongmei were indeed overjoyed. Their son had become the mayor of a city at such a young age, and now he had married a Party secretary's daughter. Honestly, if they had not spent the past two years getting used to the surprises brought by his meteoric promotions, they might have passed out from sheer happiness right there.
The newlyweds served their parents tea, then addressed them as Mom and Dad. Both sets of parents were positively radiant.
Mu Yalan's smile brimmed with delight, pride, and triumph. Although she had long considered Zhou Yi her own son-in-law, only now had she officially become his mother-in-law.
No more hearing Zhou Yi call her Auntie! Forget the saying that a son-in-law was half a son. Zhou Yi was her son, a whole one!
