An Xin Ya's eyes held a smile of happiness as she leaned on Shouya's shoulder, looking at her mother's photo, as well as her father's, without saying a word, simply gazing at the pictures in her hands.
Shouya reached for the photo in her hand and said, "There's a family in the village holding a wedding. Let's go take a look!"
"No, I don't like crowds. I want to stay here," An Xin Ya replied, snatching the photo from Shouya's hand and sitting on the bed to continue looking at it.
Seeing her like this, Shouya felt helpless and said, "Xinya, you can't just stay in the room all the time. How about this: I'll keep you company to watch the stars. The stars are beautiful tonight! You might not get to see them in Las Vegas..."
She lifted her eyelids to look at him. This hotel was not like the last one; it was basically made of bamboo. "Alright then!" An Xin Ya carefully placed the photo into her bag and walked out of the room with Shouya. Outside the hotel, there was a courtyard with a swing. An Xin Ya sat on it while Shouya pushed her from behind.
The swing started moving, and An Xin Ya felt so happy sitting on it, gazing at the deep night sky filled with twinkling stars—it was truly beautiful!
After playing for a while, An Xin Ya and Shouya found a spot to sit where they could see a bonfire not far away, flames leaping up as the village celebrated with a wedding feast and sang local songs.
Leaning against Shouya's shoulder, An Xin Ya asked, "Brother Shouya, how should we hold our wedding? Traditional or Western?"
"What do you think? Whatever you want to do is fine by me; I respect your wishes!" Shouya lowered his gaze to look at An Xin Ya, whose hair emitted a faint fragrance.
"I don't know! Just thinking about getting married makes me a bit scared and anxious!" An Xin Ya pouted. These days, just the thought of returning to Las Vegas for the wedding filled her with inexplicable fear! Time had flown by so quickly; she was already in her twenties and about to get married...
Shouya reached out to hold her hand and kissed it deeply near his lips, saying, "That's called pre-wedding anxiety; everyone experiences it—not just you; I feel it too. After marriage, life will still be like now; it's just that our identities will change because at that time, you'll be my wife."
As he spoke, Shouya leaned closer to her face with a smile at the corner of his mouth.
An Xin Ya turned her face towards him, their noses almost touching. Looking into his eyes so closely, she could clearly hear his breathing and feel the warmth of his breath against her skin, causing her heart to race and her face to flush.
Slowly leaning down, he kissed her lips under the deep starry sky as they embraced each other passionately.
The next morning they left Garden Village and returned to Beijing Millennium Hotel. After packing their bags, they headed to Beijing International Airport and left Beijing for Las Vegas.
On the plane, An Xin Ya looked out the window at the clear blue sky of Beijing.
This time leaving, she wondered when she would be able to return! After all, this was An Xin Ya's hometown, filled with deep emotions. Although she wanted to live in her home country, she had already lived in a small town in Las Vegas for nearly a decade. Her grandmother had also gotten used to living there, and she had many friends there. The most she could do was return during Tomb-Sweeping Day and Chongyang Festival to pay respects to her parents.
Shouya, who was flipping through a magazine, glanced up from it and saw An Xin Ya lost in thought. He understood what was on her mind. After going through so much, she had gradually grown and matured.
He reached out and held her hand, giving her strength and warmth, his eyes conveying that he would protect her well and not let her suffer any harm.
An Xin Ya looked at him holding her hand, lifted her eyelids, and smiled at Shouya. This man had always been by her side, silently supporting her and giving without asking for anything in return. In this life, she had no regrets about giving herself to him completely and raising children for him.
Upon arriving in Las Vegas, Shouya held An Xin Ya's hand as they dragged their luggage out of the airport. He drove them from the airport parking garage after placing their luggage in the trunk.
An Xin Ya opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, finally back in Las Vegas, feeling incredibly excited inside.
Shouya first drove them back to their private residence to drop off their luggage before taking Xinya back to the small town.
As soon as she got off the plane, she called home to tell her grandmother that she was back in Las Vegas. Her grandmother happily said she would prepare some food.
The car stopped downstairs, and Shouya and An Xin Ya got out. Shouya took out the local specialties he bought from Beijing along with some supplements from the trunk. Together with Xinya, they went upstairs and knocked on the door. When it opened, Xinya saw her grandmother and joyfully exclaimed, "Grandma, I'm back!" giving her a big hug.
"Just coming back is good enough!" Grandma An said happily as she hurriedly invited them inside. Upon receiving Xinya's call earlier, she had rushed into the kitchen to prepare several dishes that filled the table with delicious aromas.
"The soup is still cooking in the kitchen; you two sit down first while I check on it," Grandma An said with a big smile. Seeing them back made her incredibly happy. She also heard from Xinya that Shouya had proposed to her; just as she entered the house earlier, she noticed a diamond ring on Xinya's ring finger, which made her even more delighted.
Xinya put down her bag and went into the kitchen to help her grandmother.
Taking advantage of this moment, Grandma An asked Xinya, "Xinya, when do you and Shouya plan to hold your wedding?"
Xinya rolled her eyes and smiled, saying, "I’m not sure yet! It should be soon!"
Hearing Xinya say this, Grandma An couldn't help but smile widely, finally able to see the two of them tie the knot. Soon, she would be able to hold her grandchild.
The soup was ready, and Grandma An brought it out and placed it on the table, quickly calling Shouya over to sit down for dinner. Shouya placed everything on the table.
Xinya came out of the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks, setting them on the table. She served a bowl of soup for her grandmother and another for Shouya before sitting down.
As soon as Grandma sat down, she directly asked Shouya when he and Xinya would hold their wedding.
Xinya was taken aback by her grandmother's eager question directed at Shouya. She shyly shot a glance at Grandma and exclaimed, "Grandma..."
"Soon, we need to check the dates and choose a good day for the wedding," Shouya said with a smile as he glanced at An Xinya. When he was still in Beijing, Grandma An often called him to ask about this matter. His response had been to take care of things in Beijing first before returning to Las Vegas.
"Okay, okay..." Grandma An was already impatient, smiling as she looked at the two of them and urging them to eat. She had been waiting for this day.
The three of them enjoyed their meal at the table. After dinner, Shouya had to leave for a while but promised to come back later to pick up Xinya. Xinya stayed at her grandmother's house and shared many stories about Beijing with her, even showing her grandmother photos of her biological parents.
Grandma An smiled kindly, gently stroking her granddaughter's hair. She hadn't realized that Xinya was a child with a difficult fate, but Heaven was fair; it allowed her to find her own happiness and a man who truly loved her.
It wasn't until evening that Shouya drove over to pick up Xinya to return to the Private Villa. On the way, he said directly, "Next Tuesday is a good day; I plan to hold the wedding at St. Regis Hotel. What do you think?"
He had already chosen the date and hotel; all that was left was the wedding ceremony.
"Sure! You can handle the arrangements!" An Xinya replied with a smile, her heart racing. It seemed a bit too fast for her, catching her off guard, but since it was happening, she had to face it.
Shouya looked at her and tightly held her hand as they drove back to the villa.
"Tonight I'm so tired, let's just skip it!" An Xin Ya had just walked out of the bathroom, wearing pajamas, and was sitting on the sofa flipping through some medical books. When she saw Xinya come out, she closed the book and moved forward to wrap her arms around her, kissing her neck. Xinya felt a bit tired after sitting on a plane for several hours and heading straight to her grandmother's house upon landing, so all she wanted was to rest well.
"Don't!" Shouya whispered in her ear, holding her tightly with his hands, resting his chin on her shoulder as he spoke.
"You're already grown up, yet you're acting like a girl throwing a tantrum," Xinya said as she removed his hands and walked over to the bedside cabinet. She pulled out a drawer and took out an album, sitting on the bed to place her parents' photos inside.
Shouya was already feeling hot and restless. He understood Xinya's exhaustion and didn't press further. He went into the bathroom for a cold shower to wash away the heat. When he came out, he saw that Xinya had already fallen asleep. She was indeed tired. He walked over to the bed, covered her with a blanket, gently stroked her hair, and kissed her smooth forehead...
At a well-known bridal shop
"Xinya, congratulations! You're finally marrying Brother Shouya!" Yan Wushuang, dressed in a bright yellow high-waisted dress that accentuated her fair skin, looked radiant. Although she was already a mother of two, her figure remained unchanged and seemed to carry a more mature charm than before.
"Yes, our Xinya is finally getting married! This is what we call lovers finally becoming family!" Ieyako said while sitting on the sofa, sipping coffee with a smile on her face. Having given birth to a son, she had gained some curves.
Hearing her two sisters say this made An Xin Ya's face flush red with embarrassment. "Please stop teasing me. I invited you both out not to make fun of me but to help me choose my wedding dress."
The wedding was scheduled for next Tuesday at the St. Regis Hotel, and now she needed to pick out a wedding dress. It was quite challenging for her as she didn't know what style to choose, so she called her two sisters Yan Wushuang and Ieyako to help her select one.
The shop was filled with beautiful white wedding dresses, each with its own unique features, and she didn't know which one to choose.
Yan Wushuang stood up from the sofa and walked over to help her pick out several dresses in front of the mirror, encouraging her to try them on. Xinya took the dresses that Wushuang selected for her as the shop assistant helped pull back the curtain.
Yan Wushuang returned to the sofa and chatted excitedly with Ieyako. These two mothers were almost entirely discussing their children and their husbands while laughing joyfully!
