Finally, Lan Xu stood before Yan Cheng. Yan Cheng raised his hand and took her much smaller hand into his own, then held it tightly.
"Please exchange rings, and the wedding ceremony will be officially complete," the smiling officiant announced.
Due to Yan Cheng's severe injuries, the wedding procedures had been simplified.
Next, two servants brought forward small ring boxes, opened them, and revealed a pair of wedding bands.
The woman's ring was a teardrop-shaped diamond ring, while the man's was a simple band embedded with small diamonds.
Yan Cheng reached out to take the diamond ring, then carefully held Lan Xu's left hand and slowly slid the ring onto her delicate ring finger.
Seeing the ring on her finger, Lan Xu smiled slightly, then picked up the man's ring and placed it on Yan Cheng's finger.
"Congratulations to both of you! Witnessed by everyone, you are now officially a happy couple. Now, the groom may kiss the bride!" the officiant's voice rang out again.
