Don't Let Me Down

Chapter 20

   Wei Ying cried for a long time while Wangji just sat there holding his love again in his arms. Wangji kissed Wei Ying,''I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry. I'm an idiot. I didn't trust you, I just believed whatever my uncle said to me, I believed that my Wei Ying had changed and didn't want me anymore. I am sorry that I hurted you the most. Wei Ying, please forgive me. Can't we start over? Can't you give me another chance?'' Wei Ying smiled,''I was wrong too. If I told you everything from the start then probably we didn't have to break up. I also didn't trust you, I thought there was no way you would believe me after all you respect your uncle the most. I'm sorry that I hurted you in a lot of ways but believe me I love you the most. You are the only one for me.''
   As they were about to kiss again they heard someone,''Ahem! Please pay attention to your surroundings. Don't forget that we are here too.'' And the owner of the voice was none other than Rulan. Sizhui smiled happily,''What a relief that both of you are fine. I'm so happy that you are together again. Please don't hate each other again.'' Jingyi sighed,''Though you two hated each other but you two loved each other at the same time. God! I really wanna sing 'I hate you, I love you' now.'' Jiang Cheng said annoyingly,''Don't you dare to sing such a beautiful song with your cracked voice.'' As everyone laughed, Jiang Cheng went to Wei Ying and squeezed him in his hug,''You troublemaker! Don't you ever dare to do something like that. If you do something like that again then I'm gonna break your legs.'' Wei Ying hugged him tightly,''I'll never do anything like that. Jiang Cheng! I'm so sorry. For me you have suffered too. But I promise I'll never do anything stupid from now on.''
   Xichen hugged Wei Ying and Wangji, ''Let's go to the Jiang Mansion. Everyone is waiting for you there. And Wei Ying, your parents are really worried about you. Let's go quickly.'' With that everyone left Wei Ying's parental house and went to the Jiang Mansion. As soon as Wei Ying entered there, Yanli and Madam Yu ran to him and hugged him. After a lot of questions and scolding, when everyone calmed down, Zixuan asked,''So... When you guys are going to get engaged?'' Wei Ying smiled,''I think we should take some time. We are going to start our relationship all over again. So we are going to take some time.''
   Xichen agreed to Wei Ying,''Yes I think this is the best idea. You have been through a lot. Let give each other some time and then you can take the next steps one after other. And in that mean time I would love to get engaged to Wanyin. It's been already 2 years. Let us get engaged at least.'' Jiang Fengmin laughed,''That's a great idea. If Qiren is okay with it, then I think we should arrange the engagement on the next month.'' Qiren joined him too,''Yes. Let's do it on the next month. I'll cancel all my plans for the next month. I wish to see my children to be happy with their loved ones.''

EIGHT MONTHS LATER

   ''Wei Ying! Hurry up. The ceremony is going to start. On top of that you are Wanyin's best man. Hurry up.'' Wangji entered the room and saw a very confused Wei Ying. As Wei Ying saw Wangji, he hugged him,''Lan Zhan! What to do? I can't do anything with that hair. Please tie it up for me!'' Wangji smiled,''You are still having a long hair. I am impressed. But if you are really feeling uncomfortable then please cut it off.'' Wei Ying nodded his head negatively,''No. I won't. I like it when you take care of my hair, when you style my hair or when you wash my hair. I love it all. Specially when you tie up my hair. I love the way you take care of it. So I'll never cut it off. Now I like my long hair too.''
   Wangji sighed,''Yeah. Now look at me. Let me see. I really like it when you have those small and those medium bangs. You look beautiful. Okay, let me put a little bit of makeup. By the way why didn't you hire a makeup artist for you?'' Wei Ying smiled sheepishly,''I'm sorry. Actually I forgot. I was so much into the decorations and all. By the way, why everyone is either married or engaged? Meng Yao had already married to Qin Su and Rulan got engaged to Sizhui. And...and...'' Wangji smiled,''There is no and. There are no more couples left. Sometimes I really wonder that if others are going to date someone or not!'' Wei Ying nodded but he felt pain in his heart, Wei Ying and Lan Zhan agreed to each other that they would date for at least one year before taking the next step. This time Wei Ying didn't want to mess it up or quick the pace. That's he kept his sadness inside him with a smile on his face.
   As the Wangxian couple was going to their brothers to stand beside them as their 'best man', Wangji thought,''I know, I know Wei Ying. I know that you want to take the next step. I know you want to at least get engaged to me. Then I think we both are thinking about the same thing. And today is the perfect day.'' But Wangji's thoughts got cut as the the ceremony had already started. The priest started the ritual and by the time it was about to end, it was the turn of the grooms to take their verses. As both Wanyin and Xichen took their verses and exchanged their rings, the priest asked them to kiss each other.  And with the seal of their kiss, the priest pronounced them the couple for the lifetime.
   As the ceremony was over, Jiang Cheng announced that he was going to throw the flower bouquet. All of his friends gathered and Jiang Cheng turned his back towards them. On the count of three he threw the bouquet with all his might and as he planned and secretly practiced, the bouquet fell on the right person and it was none other than Wei Ying. Even Wei Ying was startled. And as he was going to be happy he saw Wangji was already on his knees holding a box. Wangji opened the box and there was a set of beautiful rings. Wangji smiled,''Wei Ying! I was waiting for the right opportunity to propose you. You know to create this moment, how much effort I got from Wanyin and Xichen. They practiced everyday of throwing the bouquet to the right spot. And thus they create this opportunity. I'm really thankful to them that they have always supported us like that. Babe, now you have the bouquet thrown by the groom. That means you are going to be the next groom. Will you like to be my groom then?''
   Wei Ying was on the verge of crying, ''I'd love to be your groom, if you be mine. But Wangji, are you sure? Are you sure that its the time, it's okay to get married?'' Wangji kissed Wei Ying softly,'' Yes I'm completely sure that I want to marry you as soon as possible. I can't live without you anymore. I love you and thank you so much for accepting me. Let's get married in a couple months.'' Wei Ying nodded affirmatively while crying like a little baby. Wangji put the ring on Wei Ying's ring finger and Wei Ying put another one on Wangji's ring finger with a warm smile.
    It was already evening as the after wedding ceremony started. It was the time for speeches. As Madam Yu gaver her blessing with Jiang Fengmin, Yanli continued the speech. Then it was the turn of Qiren to give his blessings and the speech. After that the host of the night, Wen Qing announced,''Guys! It's the time for the speeches of the grooms' brothers or their 'best man', Wei Ying and Lan Wangji.'' Wei Ying started,''At first I and Lan Zhan propose a toast to the newly wed couple. What should I say about them? Whatever I say it will be too little for them. But let's start with my brother.
    I saw how he took a liking on Huan ge, how that liking developed in a crush and then to love and how he got heart broken but ultimately how he got into a relationship with Huan ge. Then their long waited engagement and now marriage. I saw their love to grow and took a shape of a beautiful Sakura tree. Believe me, my scary looking tough brother, blushed every time came to a contact with Huan ge, he cried whenever they had a fight, got jealous of Huan ge's subordinates. He made me awake for the whole night just to talk about Huan ge. Sometimes I couldn't even talk to my Lan Zhan, because he was talking about Huan ge.
   But at the same time I'm thankful that he always stays beside me. He gives me good advices and he is such a great brother. I love you and wish you all the happiness of the world. Huan ge I wish you luck with your husband. Your husband is not a easy person but I hope you will always understand him and stay by him. Thank you. I am gonna leave the rest to Lan Zhan.''
   Wangji took the mic,''My brother is the great brother in the world. He did and sacrificed a lot for me. But when he first got to know about Wanyin's feelings towards him, I saw him smile in his thoughts, even saw him broken hearted which he always wanted to cover up with a smile. At first I didn't know that he got in a relationship with Wanyin but when I came back and saw them together, I felt that my brother couldn't be more happy than now. In my eyes at first they both were different kind of people but as the time went by, I understood how similar they are. Probably opposites really attracts, but in my eyes I never saw a great couple like them. Thank you for always looking after us. I wish you all the happiness and great wishes for your married life. Love you.''
   Everyone clapped their heartfelt speeches. Soon after playing some games, the after wedding party came to an end. Jiang Cheng was in his room With Wei Ying, he was getting fresh as he was leaving with Xichen for their honeymoon in an hour. Jiang Cheng asked Wei Ying,''Tell me. Please. Tell me already. Where are we going for our honeymoon?'' Wei Ying smiled,''No chance. But don't worry! Both Wangji and I arranged everything for both you. So trust us and go for it. You are gonna have the best time of your life.'' In a short while the newly married couple went for their honeymoon.
   As it was only the Wangxian couple left alone in their bedroom, Wangji kissed Wei Ying passionately,''Wei Ying, for the last few days I couldn't get to spend any time with you, now it's all done and we have a plenty of time, shall I have se...'' Before Wangji could even finish, Wei Ying pressed his lips on Wangji's,''Oh! Just shut up and do whatever you want already.''
