Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010: The Gu Family Couple Attends the Warm Third Wedding Banquet Part 2 (7)

...

Old Master Qin was well aware of Mu Wan and Mu Qingqiu’s character, so he invited Mu Qingqiu to the wedding and even arranged an important seat where he could directly view the ceremony. As for figures like Wang Xue and Wu Jingjing, he didn’t even bother to assign them seats.

Mu Qingqiu and Old Master Qin chatted cheerfully, and Mu Qingqiu understood the primary reason why Old Master Qin chose Mu Wan as the Qin Family’s granddaughter-in-law.

So that’s how it is...

The appearance of the young couple immediately drew everyone’s attention.

With all eyes focused on herself and Qin Mu, Mu Wan’s petite face flushed red. She shyly struggled out of the man’s arms.

Wang Xue and Wu Jingjing were completely overshadowed, gritting their teeth in envy.

Wu Jingjing stared at Qin Mu with near greed. Qin Mu, the debauched playboy with an infamous devil-may-care attitude, was well-known in high society.

To be even looked at by a man like him was a blessing—let alone to marry him.

What kind of fortune would she have needed to achieve this?

She was the legitimate eldest daughter of the Wu Family, after all. All of this glory should have been hers.

Now, everything had been stripped away by Mu Wan. How could Wu Jingjing not hate her?

Mu Wan—what gave her the right...?

...

The ceremony began. Following routine, a long red carpet stretched out before them, with Qin Mu waiting at the carpet’s end, while Mu Wan stood beside Wu Kun. Wu Kun raised his hand and held Mu Wan’s small hand.

Mu Wan hesitated for a moment, but she didn’t pull away.

Her father’s large hand was warmer than she had imagined.

It made her unwillingly crave that warmth.

But... Wu Kun, did he ever know the hardships that she and Mu Qingqiu had endured over the years?

Mu Wan squeezed out a faint, ironic smile from the corner of her lips.

The ceremonial music began. Tang Bao, dressed in an adorable princess dress, walked alongside Qin Jin ahead of Mu Wan and Qin Mu.

Tang Bao smacked her tiny lips, her big watery eyes sparkling brightly.

"Qin Jin-gege... I want you to hold my hand, otherwise I might fall down. Hmm, and if I fall, it’ll hurt... Daddy, Mommy, Uncle, Great-Grandpa, Grandpa, and you, Qin Jin-gege, will all feel sad for me."

Qin Jin: "..."

The little girl, with her two tiny buns and big shiny eyes, stared unblinkingly at him. Qin Jin pursed his lips, looking dashing in his tailcoat like a small prince.

Tang Bao pouted when she saw Qin Jin keeping silent, expressing her displeasure.

"Hmm... Then Qin Jin-gege, I’ll hold your hand instead, just in case you accidentally fall..."

With that, Tang Bao, holding her flower basket in one hand, eagerly stretched out her free hand to grab Qin Jin’s hand. Qin Jin tried to pull away, but Tang Bao instantly gripped him tightly, refusing to let go.

"Hmm... No way."

Qin Jin: "..."

Tang Bao... had none of the traits of a typical little girl. Instead, there was a hint of domineering possession in her actions.

"Hehe..."

Qin Jin, seeing the little girl’s beaming smile, felt his heart stir slightly. He spoke with a bit of reluctance.

"Mm."

Mu Wan couldn’t help but smile as she watched the two little children in front of her, finding them utterly adorable.

But following behind Mu Wan, Jian Ran couldn’t conceal her embarrassment.

Their daughter simply couldn’t help but pounce on Qin Jin the moment she saw him, no matter how much they tried to stop her. It was impossible.

In broad daylight, under the clear skies, to openly tease Qin Jin—she was definitely too much.

...

Step by step, Mu Wan walked toward Qin Mu, feeling as though she had been walking for ages. Finally, she reached her prince charming.

The man stood tall and imposing at the end, radiating a noble aura. His handsome face remained expressionless, treating it more as a formality than anything else.

Sitting in the front row, Mu Qingqiu had tears in his eyes, unable to hold back his emotions.

Wu Kun also felt deeply moved inwardly as he finally entrusted Mu Wan’s hand into Qin Mu’s.

"Qin Mu, these past 20 years, I’ve done nothing to fulfill my role as a father and have brought a lot of pain to Mu Wan. I know that her personality has been shaped in no small part due to me. From now on, I am entrusting her to you. Please take good care of her."

Qin Mu: "..."

Qin Mu had heard bits and pieces about Mu Wan’s background before. Now hearing these words from Wu Kun, his dark eyes instinctively furrowed.

"Alright."

With a simple reply, Qin Mu raised his hand and held Mu Wan’s small hand.

Mu Wan: "..."

Her delicate hand rested in the man’s palm, and their fingers intertwined.

Mu Wan’s vision grew hazy, and tears began to well up uncontrollably.

This moment, this simple act—she had longed for it for so long, so very long.

With Qin Mu’s one-word response, whether it was genuine or not, she believed it.

Wu Kun was equally pleased with Qin Mu’s answer and nodded before stepping aside, leaving the priest to announce the subsequent wedding proceedings.

"Mr. Qin Mu, do you take Miss Mu Wan to be your wife? Do you vow to love her unconditionally—whether in prosperity or adversity, wealth or poverty, health or sickness, joy or sorrow—to remain loyal to her until eternity?"

Before Qin Mu could respond, Wu Jingjing’s venom-filled gaze locked onto Qin Mu and Mu Wan. She then exchanged a look with the woman beside her, who quickly understood and stepped forward.

"Wait a moment..."

The crowd stirred with whispers. Mu Wan turned around, only to see a familiar face appear before her.

It seemed to be... her university classmate Tao Min.

But Tao Min was close friends with Wu Jingjing.

"Young Master Qin, this Mu Wan’s last name is Mu... Earlier, the person who walked her up here was Wu Kun, President Wu. It’s obvious that they’re father and daughter. But they don’t share the same last name—could it be that she’s an illegitimate child?"

Although some had suspected this before, hearing Tao Min stir up trouble immediately incited whispers and chatter among the guests.

Mu Wan clenched her small hand tightly. It was clear that Tao Min was here to cause trouble.

Mu Wan wasn’t just worried about losing face—her concern was for Mu Qingqiu.

Every time someone brought up her background, Mu Qingqiu always took the blame onto himself...
