Stealing Your Heart Chapter 653


    The wedding march was reced by a different song after they reached the stage.


    A soothing opening note was heard, followed by a gentle voice.


    Wen Xiaoji stood at the entrance and walked over steadily with a microphone in hand.

    Now, he was no longer Li Zhan, but Wen Xiaoji- Wen Qing’s son and a member of the Wen family. He


    had been a celebrity in the past and was blessed with good looks and a good voice.


    In his rich baritone voice, Wen Xiaoji performed the popr wedding song ‘For You’.


    He will be your bridegroom, yourpanion for life hereafter


    He will be bound to you, for better or for worse


    She will be your bride, entrusted to you


    Your life will be shared by two, all burdens and joy to be borne together


    Fate must have smiled upon you, to have joined you both thus


    However much he loves you, you must return that happiness twofold


    From now on, you’re no longer alone, you have each other to think about


    However much you give, you’ll receive twofold in love


    Fate must have smiled upon you, to have joined you both thus…


    Wen Xiaoji sang passionately while walking toward them.


    Lin Xinyan didn’t want to cry at the wedding, but she truly couldn’t help herself.


    Her tears refused to stop flowing, like pearls slipping off a string.


    She tried her dandiest to ignore it and refused to admit it. But no matter what, she could not ignore their


    kinship.


    Although they seemed distant to each other on the surface, she still yearned to be a family with him.


    Wen Xiaoji finished performing and looked at Lin Xinyan through red-rimmed eyes. In a voice brimming


    with emotion, he said, “Xinyan, my sister.”


    With all the grudges and grievances of the past now set aside, nothing had changed.


    He still regarded Zong Jinghao as a brother and acknowledged Lin Xinyan as his sister-inw. But Wen


    Xiaoji’s conscious decision to call her his sister bore a deeper meaning. It showed that he offered her


    the desire for reconciliation and the respect she deserved.


    With this simple gesture, he managed to set aside so much hatred and animosity.


    As Lin Xinyan choked back tears and walked toward him, Wen Xiaoji ran across the room and hugged


    her.


    At this moment, there were no words to express the emotions they felt. They stood there in an


    embrace, letting that heal the hurt that had transpired.


    Zong Jinghao let go of his resentment toward the Wen family as well. He had done everything that


    needed to be done. What was left was the simple hope that Lin Xinyan had a family to rely on.


    She had done more than enough for herself. Now it was time for him to return the favor.


    Lin Xinyan would no longer be alone.


    Wen Qing watched the moving disy tearfully. Li Jing hugged him and patted him on the back. Even


    Zhuang Zijin was brought to attend the wedding and she struggled to hold back her tears.


    She could finally see her daughter married off and reunited with her rtives.


    This was the hope she had and the only blessing she wanted to offer her daughter.


    “It’s your wedding today. Don’t cry!” Wen Xiaoji wiped away Lin Xinyan’s tears and escorted her back to


    Zong Jinghao. He ced her hand in Zong Jinghao’s palm and backed away with a deep bow. “Thank


    you.”


    This word of thanks from Wen Xiaoji was for Zong Jinghao’s clemency toward Wen Qing and for


    forgiving them.


    Zong Jinghao helped Wen Xiaoji up from his bow.


    Lin Xinyan hadn’t expected Zong Jinghao to let them attend the wedding, but she was pleasantly


    surprised and touched.


    She gazed deeply into his eyes and said, “I want to thank you too.”


    Zong Jinghao gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. “I should be thanking you.”


    He took the microphone and used this opportunity to reveal the identities of the two kids to everyone


    present.


    “Seven years ago, she and I were secretly married. At the time, I didn’t know how to appreciate her. I


    hurt her and abandoned her… But she still gave birth to my offspring despite all this. The very thought


    of my past actions brings me deep shame, but I am also very moved by her perseverance. Today in


    front of all of you, I’d like to introduce you to my wife and my two kids.”


    Several media outlets were floored by this revtion, and the inte was abuzz.


    Now, the whole affair was being referred to as ‘the wedding of the century’ byizens.


    For Lin Xinyan, it was truly an unforgettable wedding. She was so immersed in her surroundings that all


    unpleasantness over the gift earlier was forgotten.


    The time soon came for the couple to exchange their rings. Qin Ya had given both kids each a ring to


    bear.


    Given Zong Jinghao’s previous experiences, the rings he prepared this time were more low-key in


    design but still high in value.


    He wanted to give her all the good things in life.


    The simple and tastefully designed ring was a four-pronged diamond solitaire.


    The ceremony was not held in a church, nor was there a solemn deration of oaths to each other.


    New beginnings warranted a new method, and therefore they chose to be blessed by a master of


    ceremonies.


    The master of ceremonies skillfully proimed his well-wishes for the couple, “Love now has a home to


    return to, may your hearts never be lonely. Through the warmth of your hands, may you grow old


    together. Blessed be your love like a May garden in full bloom, and may happiness and joy be with you


    forevermore.”


    This was followed by the exchanging of rings. Thus concluded the wedding ceremony.


    The music started to y again as Zong Jinghao carefully supported Lin Xinyan off the stage.


    Shen Peichuan and Guan Jing then carried both kids down. Su Zhan had been sitting away from them


    this whole time. The unsightly injury on his face prevented him from fetching the bride with the rest of


    them earlier.


    He hadn’t even shown up to offer assistance to Zong Jinghao over other matters.


    Honestly, he was simply unfit to be appearing in public like that. After all, it wasn’t proper to ruin a


    special asion by showing up with a bruised face.


    He had even wornrge ck sunsses to hide his injuries.


    When the couple arrived at the lounge, Qin Ya came over to help Lin Xinyan change for the wedding


    reception.


    “Before that, I need to have a word with Jinghao in private,” said Lin Xinyan.
