Stars In His Eyes-Chapter 1703: Her Whole World Is Only You 36

As soon as Ding Jinshi was pulled back to the room by Chen Shan, Chen Shan called Zhou Chenyue to watch over Ding Jinshi, not letting her go downstairs, and then went downstairs alone to join the other women in making things difficult for the groom.

Watching the young people making noise downstairs, Ding’s father took his wife upstairs to see Ding Jinshi. At this time, Ding Jinshi’s aunt’s belly was almost four months along, but because of her thick clothes, it was not obvious. However, her walking posture made it clear she was pregnant, and her face had an added tenderness of motherhood.

"Uncle." Zhou Chenyue saw Ding’s father coming up and called out obediently.

"Mm, go downstairs and join the fun with Chen Shan and the others." Ding’s father nodded and smiled at Zhou Chenyue, then watched her leave the room before holding his wife’s hand and sitting opposite Ding Jinshi.

"Dad, Auntie." Ding Jinshi began to address them.

"We finally managed to marry you off." Ding’s father sighed, his tone suddenly a bit choked, "Jinshi, I know you might still hold some resentment towards me in your heart. While you were growing up, I was always busy with work. When you were very young, it was your mother who took care of you, and later, it was your aunt and the nanny. By the time you were old enough to understand things, it was Ding Long who took care of you. Actually, I feel at ease marrying you to Ding Long. But time is the least able to withstand testing, so I don’t know if Ding Long will always treat you like this. However, as long as I’m still around, if Ding Long ever dares to let you down or bully you, I will never forgive him."

At this point, Ding’s father paused, and looking at his daughter in her red wedding dress, his thoughts naturally went to Ding Jinshi’s mother. To be honest, when he first married Ding Jinshi’s mother, they had only met once before the wedding, but after marriage, Ding’s father really loved this wife.

"Thinking back to when your mother just gave birth to you, you were such a tiny, wrinkled heap, yet so adorable. Back then, you would pee in my arms and cry out loud, and I didn’t know what to do at all, or how to comfort you. Your mom used to laugh at me a lot for that. Can’t believe how quickly time flies; in a blink of an eye, I’m old, and you’re getting married. If your mom could see you today looking so beautiful, she would surely be very happy. My daughter is the most beautiful and happiest bride in the world."

Originally, Ding Jinshi didn’t really have any feelings about getting married. To her, it was just like going through the motions or acting in a play. But her father’s words made her truly feel the bittersweetness of leaving home to get married.

Ding Jinshi had left home after graduating from high school, left the country, and lived abroad alone. Leaving home should not have been emotional for her. However, wearing the wedding dress and seeing the few strands of gray hair that had appeared in her father’s once all-black hair, while listening to his words that tugged at her heartstrings, suddenly she felt a bit reluctant to leave this home that she once wasn’t keen to return to.

"Dad, I’m sorry for the past; I was immature." Ding Jinshi bit her lip, then looked at her stepmother, and tears uncontrollably welled up, "Auntie, I’m sorry for the past, for often making you angry. Thank you for still being so kind to me."

"Today is your big day. Let’s not talk about past things. We should talk about the future. Auntie can see that Ding Long truly loves you. You will be happy with him."
