Mu Jingzhe had been curious about what was inside for a long time. She had asked Ji Buwang, but the latter had refused to tell her anything. At that moment, she finally saw what was inside. Only now, Ji Buwang had left.

Mu Jingzhe gripped the ring tightly and got up to take the small set of dolls she had given him at first. She didnt hesitate to spell the character wei.

After she spelled out the word wei, the unopened box opened with a click, revealing the gift Ji Buwang had given her many years agothe ring.

Unsurprisingly, it was another white jade ring. However, this one was a little smaller. Judging by the size, this one was for her.

Mu Jingzhe picked up the ring and saw a note under it. When she unfolded it, she saw Ji Buwangs handwriting.

Since youre reading this note, it means that youve already opened the box. It also means that youre thinking about our future

1

, Jingzhe. I hope that one day, this ring will be on your hand.

Mu Jingzhe had tried so many times, but she had never thought of using the word future. She had never expected such a word to be the key.

For many years, Ji Buwang had wanted just this one thinga future with her.

However, they had no future, just like she had never been able to open this box.

The future, the future It was actually the word future. You saw that I couldnt open it, but you never gave me any hints What if I never managed to open it?

Little Bei was afraid that Mu Jingzhe would get hurt, so she picked up the broken doll fragments. As if in response to Mu Jingzhes words, at that moment, she picked up a note that had fallen beside her.

This note was also in Ji Buwangs handwriting, as if it had been specifically written to answer her question. If you didnt open it, Jingzhe it means that you dont have me in your heart. But I have faith in you. You must have opened it, right?

Mu Jingzhe gripped the ring tightly. No, she hadnt opened it. She hadnt opened it all this while. It was just like the relationship between her and Ji Buwang. Theyd always missed each other by just a little bit.

She suddenly remembered the expression on his face when she had proposed to him and said that she would buy the proposal ring while he would buy the wedding rings. At the time, she hadnt understood, but now, she suddenly did. Back then, he had looked at her like that because he had thought of the ring in the box, right?

Mu Jingzhe quickly realized that this pair of rings was a little different. This used to be the Ji Familys tradition in the past. Their family used to keep some original jade stones, and every child would receive one after they were born. Usually, they would make a ring with that jade.

This ring would normally be worn during their wedding. Later on, when it wasnt convenient to wear it anymore, one could put it away. When that person passed away, they would wear it for their burial. It was said that the Ji Family wanted to use this as evidence to recognize their own kin in the afterlife. It was also a form of blessing. They hoped that the fated ones could use this unique ring to reunite in the next life.

Ji Buwang had long determined Mu Jingzhe to be his lifelong partner, so hed had a ring crafted from his jade stone for her. Previously, when Ji Buwang had wanted to buy a wedding ring, Old Master Ji had even asked him why he wouldnt use this ring.

The reason was naturally because Mu Jingzhe hadnt opened the box then. It was unknown if Ji Buwang was planning to buy a new one or if hed wanted to remind Mu Jingzhe.

Now, Mu Jingzhe had opened the box and gotten the ring, but everything had changed.

Just like their supposed wedding day had turned into Ji Buwangs cremation day.

Ji Buwang had been at the funeral home all this while, but he couldnt stay there for too long. At first, this was done to let Mu Jingzhe bid him farewell, but now that Mu Jingzhe had seen him, his funeral had to be arranged.

After Mu Jingzhe was discharged from the hospital, they started preparing for Ji Buwangs funeral. Old Master Ji would bring Ji Buwangs ashes back to the capital and bury them in the Ji Familys ancestral grave, but the funeral could only be held there.

When it came to weddings and funerals, one had to select an appropriate day. Originally, this was supposed to be a good day for Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwangs wedding, but now, it had become the best day for Ji Buwangs funeral.

The day of the wedding had turned into a day for a funeral.

Li Zhaodi and Old Master Ji had prepared everything, but the groom was missing.

Old Master Ji didnt blame Mu Jingzhe, but that day, Mu Jingzhe blamed herself for not registering their marriage in advance and even wanting to find a meaningful day to do so.

In the end, she hadnt become Ji Buwangs wife.

Mu Jingzhe couldnt take this lying down. The sky was still bright when she found Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng. Dad, Mom, can we move forward with the wedding?

Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng hadnt slept well to begin with, so when they heard that, their heads hurt even more. Jingzhe, Mommy knows that youre sad, but without the groom, how can we still hold the wedding?

Buwang is here. He hasnt been burned yet. Hes still here. After saying that, Mu Jingzhe saw the gazes of Li Zhaodi and Mu Teng and paused for a moment before apologizing. Im sorry, Dad, Mom. Ive made you worry, but hes really still here. Can you let me be willful for once? Just this once. I only want to be his wife.

Because they hadnt registered their marriage in advance, she was destined not to become Ji Buwangs true widow for the rest of her life. She couldnt be his widow legally anymore. In the end, she could only fight to become his wife based on a formality.

Li Zhaodi felt like she couldnt breathe. Could they hold a wedding now? That would make her daughter no different from someone who went through a wedding holding a memorial tablet. How could she agree to it?

But upon looking at Mu Jingzhe, she couldnt bring herself to refuse.

Mu Jingzhe was actually so willful because she was certain that they wouldnt refuse. Im sorry, Dad, Mom. I rely on the fact that you love me, but I still want to marry Ji Buwang.

If nothing goes wrong, this will be my last wedding. This is it for the rest of my life. I only want to be Ji Buwangs wife.

Li Zhaodi cried for a long time. Her heart ached terribly, but in the end, she didnt object. Since you cant forget him, then go ahead and marry him.

Marrying him could be considered fulfilling her wish. Li Zhaodi didnt want this to become Mu Jingzhes eternal regret.

Who could forget someone like Ji Buwang?

Li Zhaodi thought that perhaps it would be better for Mu Jingzhe if she had fewer regrets.

Mu Jingzhe had initially thought that Li Zhaodi would object. After all, she believed the fortune-tellers words. But in the end, she didnt object.

After getting Li Zhaodi and Mu Tengs approval, Mu Jingzhe went to look for Old Master Ji.

Old Master Ji hadnt expected Mu Jingzhe to say such a thing. Hold the funeral after the wedding? No, no, I object.

This definitely wouldnt do. Buwang wouldnt allow it either, as he was already a dead man.

Grandpa, please agree. I want to be his wife. We agreed to get married today. I dont want to go back on my word. I want him to leave in his grooms clothes.

Old Master Ji objected, but he couldnt persuade Mu Jingzhe in the end.

Because Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang had sent out invitations early, many people knew about it. However, no one had expected that something would happen to the groom just before the wedding.

Their hearts ached for Mu Jingzhe and felt pity for Ji Buwang. Everyone in Great Eastern Village was very sad for Mu Jingzhe, but they didnt know that Mu Jingzhe had already changed into the wedding dress she had specifically made for herself and was preparing to get married.

Although Old Master Ji couldnt stop Mu Jingzhe, he ultimately kept this matter under wraps and prevented more people from finding out about it.
