Capítulo 1643: Chapter 1644: You’re Making Me a Little Mad

No one dared to disrupt the wedding of the King and Queen, though Gong Juechen was brave enough to do so; however, he was busy accompanying his wife Zhizhi and their daughter, so he naturally couldn’t spare the time to cause any commotion at the wedding room.

Seeing only the two of them left in the room, An Jing smiled and asked: “Are you happy now?”

He always wanted her to ride in a bridal sedan chair in a grand fashion and marry him, and today, she truly sat in a grand bridal sedan chair and married him, even more grandly than expected. She knew he must be extremely happy inside.

“Yes.” Xiao Changyi nodded, unable to suppress the smile tugging at his lips.

When they first got married, she didn’t wear a veil, and this time there was no veil again, but the coronet and wedding attire highlighted her even more beautifully, making her irresistibly alluring.

Xiao Changyi held An Jing’s hand and sat at the wedding table, picked up the two pre-poured cups of wine, and drank the cross-cupped wine with An Jing.

Although both are weddings, this marriage felt distinctly different from the first time.

The only thing that felt the same was that they were both very happy.

“Husband, can this be taken off?” An Jing pointed to the coronet on her head, “It’s so heavy.”

Hearing that, Xiao Changyi quickly reached over to take off the coronet from An Jing’s head and set it aside.

“Let’s have another drink, today is not only our big day but also the tenth anniversary of our marriage.” An Jing picked up the wine pot and poured another cup for herself and Xiao Changyi.

“Yes.” Xiao Changyi had no objections.

This time, they did not drink cross-cupped, but lightly clinked their glasses together before drinking the wine to the last drop.

Setting down the wine cup, looking at the table full of dishes and the festive room, An Jing couldn’t help but think of the past.

“Husband, back then, we only had each other, now we have friends, relatives, and children. At that time, I never thought we would have a day like this.”

“Me neither.”

An Jing smiled at Xiao Changyi, then said: “No matter what luxurious and noble life we lead now, I actually still quite like the simplicity of the past.”

Seeing her reminisce so fondly about the past, Xiao Changyi held one of her hands, saying: “Once we’ve reclaimed the seven cities from Dongqing, we will retire.”

But An Jing shook her head: “I also want to retire, but we can’t do that. We are the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and we promised our godfather that we would fulfill our duties. Unless our younger brothers and sisters are all happy and no longer need us, only then can we retire.”

Once a responsibility is shouldered, it cannot be put down until it is completed.

Xiao Changyi said nothing, but his grip on An Jing’s hand tightened significantly. After a long while, he quietly said: “I once told you, you could do anything you wanted, but now…”

He couldn’t even grant her the wish to retire.

He felt he had let her down.

But he couldn’t just ignore his younger siblings.

His self-reproach was so evident that An Jing grew anxious: “Husband, what are you saying? Things have to change sometimes. When you said those words, you were sincere, not deceiving me, so why feel guilty? Besides, as husband and wife, we should share in joy and hardship, unless you no longer see me as your wife.”

“How could that be!” Xiao Changyi immediately retorted, “You will always be my wife!”

“Then that’s settled. Why feel guilty? Stop blaming yourself; you’re making me somewhat angry.”

“Yes.”

“We are husband and wife, so naturally, I will share the responsibilities on your shoulders. Don’t say such things again in the future, otherwise I will really get angry with you, a kind of anger that no matter how you coax, you won’t be able to ease.”

“Yes.”
