Chapter 353: Completing the Marriage Ceremony

Chapter 353: Completing the Marriage Ceremony

As soon as Lu Ye led his wife into the bridal chamber, he embraced her.

He rested his head on her shoulder and said, "Wife, thank you."

Bai Zhi was slightly taken aback by his words, then smiled and said, "Why are you thanking me again?"

He already thanked them at the wedding today.

He spoke softly, "I just want to thank you. Thank you for not looking down on me like that, for staying by my side to treat me, and for accepting everything about my family."

"Thank you for tolerating my awkwardness and dullness, and for being willing to build a relationship with me."

He held her in his arms and confessed his love, "You know, I used to be a block of wood. Everyone called me a heartless work machine. It was because of you that my life came alive. I really love you and I'm very grateful to you."

"Don't say that, I actually want to thank you too."

Bai Zhi looked at him sincerely with her bright eyes and said earnestly, "Thank you for trusting me. At that time, I was a novice and a newcomer. Many people did not believe in my medical skills. Only you trusted me and dared to entrust your life to me. This was a great encouragement to me."

At that time, Lu Ye's parents and Lu Shan did not believe her at all.

Lu Shan, in particular, was always on guard against her.

They always treated her like a quack doctor.

If Lu Ye's body moves in the slightest, he will suspect her.

Lu Ye's parents also looked down on her at first.

He never even considered keeping her.

If Lu Ye hadn't been in critical condition and she hadn't come to his rescue, given their attitude towards her, they probably would have sent her away long ago.

She knew very well that people are realistic.

When she doesn't demonstrate any value, they naturally won't take her seriously.

At that time, she was only acting out of compassion as a doctor, and she wanted to save the hero's life.

She had put matters of the heart out of her mind.

When she was first reborn, her feelings were complicated, and she had no interest in romance.

However, as they spent more time together, feelings gradually developed between them.

Upon hearing her words, a hint of guilt flashed across Lu Ye's eyes.

He dared not say that, in fact, when he first met her, he did not completely trust her.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't believe in her medical skills.

Instead.........

It's part of my profession.

She had once doubted her motives for staying by his side.

For these people who have tasted blood on the edge of a knife, it is difficult to gain complete trust in someone they do not fully understand in a short period of time.

A probationary period is necessary.

He chuckled, "Let's not thank each other. We're husband and wife, and we'll go through thick and thin together, never abandoning each other. We shouldn't be so polite."

Lu Ye held her in his arms, gazing deeply into her eyes, his emotions gradually stirring.

His handsome face slowly approached, and he gently kissed her moist red lips.

"Xiaobai, I love you."

He gazed at her with deep affection, his voice hoarse with emotion.

Hearing his words of confession, she felt a surge of emotion.

"I love you too." She tiptoed and gave him a light peck on the cheek in response.

Her initiative made the man's breathing quicken instantly. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he hugged her tightly, deepening the kiss.

He didn't know how long they kissed, but he restrained his emotions and stopped.

He kissed her forehead and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you feeling unwell? Can I... continue?"

She was like a rare treasure held in his palm, and he was afraid that his recklessness would hurt her.

She shyly turned her face away and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Having received her consent, he could no longer restrain himself, his large hands roaming over her smooth, white silk-clad back...

Although he longed to meld her into his very bones, he still tried his best to restrain his strength, moving gently for fear of hurting her.

When they completed the sacred ceremony again, the girl nestled in his arms, one arm around his strong waist, feeling immense satisfaction and happiness.

After two lifetimes of twists and turns, they finally came together and became husband and wife in the truest sense.

Although Lu Ye did not share Bai Zhi's current state of mind, his sense of happiness was no less than hers.

But after a brief moment of happiness, Bai Zhi quickly thought of a question, "When are you leaving?"

Upon hearing his wife's words, Lu Ye's expression instantly darkened.

"Probably the day after tomorrow."

The original order from the military was that he should return to his unit immediately after the wedding.

After his strenuous efforts, he was finally given an extra day.

Today, after the political commissar gave him his support at his wedding, he specifically reminded him that although his family is important, as a soldier, he still needs to focus on his work.

Especially now that he has just been promoted, there are a lot of things waiting for him to handle in his new position.

From the day they enlisted in the army, they were destined to put their own families after the greater good.

That's why Political Commissar Zhang said those words when he officiated at the wedding today.

She nodded and replied, "The day after tomorrow? Sure, you've rested long enough. Now that you've recovered, it's time to go back to work."

If his injury hadn't been so severe, he wouldn't have been able to rest for so long.

Like her cousin, he only takes a vacation once a year, and each vacation lasts for at most a month.

However, her cousin's position is different from Lu Ye's.

As a former company commander, Lu Ye would never have been able to take such a long leave.

Not to mention that he has already been promoted.

He will probably be even busier in the future.

Of course, Bai Zhi has no objection to being busy with work.

Her biggest concern was the nature of his job.

He will inevitably have to go to the front lines and confront criminals head-on in the future.

The thought that he might get hurt again like last time made her heart clench.

She's a doctor, capable of saving lives, but frankly, no one can guarantee he'll always come back alive.

Like Gu Jingyi, who has been missing for over a year and whose fate remains unknown.

Lu Ye noticed that his wife's eyes had lowered, and her fair face was serious and solemn. He assumed that she couldn't bear the pain of separation. He pulled her into his arms, sighed deeply, and said softly, "Xiao Bai, don't worry, we won't be separated for too long. I'll find you a shop address when I get back. Didn't Grandpa agree to let you open a clinic? Once you finish your work at the military hospital, we can be together."

Bai Zhi knew that Lu Ye had misunderstood her meaning. She hid her melancholy, forced a smile, hugged his neck and nodded, "Okay, when you get back, take some time to look for a suitable shop. I have a mobile phone now, so you can call me anytime."
