#JiangLinyiDingZiyueGrandWeddingLivestream
Ding Ziyue’s trending topic was pushed straight to the back!
No helping it. Paid commenters and marketing accounts simply couldn’t compete with the natural heat from netizens. Everyone was discussing it!
As expected of the man who once said everyone should be buried with Sister Ning!
He really hadn’t been joking!
A tyrant’s favour was terrifying indeed!
Meanwhile, Ding Ziyue was collapsing: why wasn’t all this supreme pampering hers? They were already at the grand finale!
In the end, Ding Ziyue could only shakily hold Jiang Linyi’s hand, as if holding onto all her pride—
But even Jiang Linyi sighed emotionally, “It seems even a cold-blooded, heartless man like Young Master Gu… can have someone he cherishes in his heart.”
Ding Ziyue: You—me?! I don’t allow you to say that?!
They were the ones who had experienced the most suffering and deserved the most divine love! They were the protagonists!
What exactly had happened to this world? Wasn’t this supposed to be her pampering-novel world? How had Gu Cheng become the pampering novel itself? Was he really going to continue this style and spoil Ning Yi into the heavens?!
Below the stage, Gu Cheng accepted the attention from every direction with complete calm and nobility.
What was this much? If he truly started spoiling someone, even he would be afraid.
Don’t compare yourself to a man who had experienced the apocalypse. He would definitely win.
Hehe.
So when Ding Ziyue and Jiang Linyi exchanged rings, she genuinely shed emotional tears.
—She hated, hated this brainless world so much!
Ning Yi truly hadn’t expected Young Master Gu to be this high-profile either.
But—high-profile was fine! she thought.
Her red, warm fingertip was still held in his hand, while Gu Cheng’s other hand helped her pick up the dessert she liked from the table.
So Ning Yi lightly scratched his palm with her fingertip.
After suffering so much and crossing worlds to be together, what was wrong with going a little mad? Going mad was pretty good!
This lifetime should be lived without restraint!
Gu Cheng felt her restless little movement in his palm and turned his head. “Hm?”
Ning Yi: “Nothing, hehe. I just think it came true.”
—The curse she had whispered like a little demon beside Gu Cheng’s ear a long time ago had really come true.
“I am the woman you love most in this world. From now on, you’ll not only completely fall for me and give me your life, but also make money for me, carry me upward, and let me lie flat happily…”
Back then, Gu Cheng’s hearing hadn’t recovered, so he hadn’t actually heard that part. Now that the time was right, Ning Yi repeated it.
Blah blah blah, I curse you!
Go mad! Hehe, let’s go mad!
Gu Cheng listened seriously, studied it for a moment, then took her hand. “Then let’s go.”
Ning Yi: “Hm?”
Gu Cheng’s refined, elegant face carried a faint smile. “Didn’t you say I’d give you my life, carry you upward, and let you lie flat?”
Ning Yi: “So soon?”
“Very simple.” Gu Cheng gracefully left the venue with his wife. “Step one—go home and get in bed.”
Ning Yi: “???”
That didn’t seem to be what she meant OvO
In short, Ding Ziyue’s wedding ended, and her pampered life reached a small conclusion. Of course, this book wasn’t that simple. She still had many melodramatic side stories in the extras.
After all, Princess Ding’s world would never end. Although her and Jiang Linyi’s love ended with a wedding in the main text, in the extras there would still be things like running away pregnant, entering the wrong room, taking the wrong drug—
As long as life goes on, Ding Ding never stops.
Ning Yi had great confidence in Ding Ziyue’s future vitality.
But what netizens were paying the most attention to now was no longer the male and female lead’s love story.
That day, Zhao Mochu, the strongest CP fan and number-one gossip poster at the venue, had already rapidly filmed and edited all kinds of sweet details from Gu de Mo Ning and Wan Shi Ru Yi.
Including Sister Ning toasting Brother Wan from afar, the two smiling at each other.
And the full record of Young Master Gu peeling prawns for Sister Ning.
As well as Young Master Gu lowering his head to kiss her hand and saying that earth-shaking pampering-novel line.
Netizens watched the details they hadn’t seen clearly in the livestream and fell into madness again.
[When are they getting married! Where are they getting married! I can’t wait!]
[Wuwuwu so sweet. I don’t know if anyone else feels this, but now when I look at them, there’s this sense of peaceful years for no reason.]
[The way Young Master Gu looks at Sister Ning feels like: everything in the past has settled, and now I only care about you. And Brother Wan is like: knowing you’re happy makes me happy too [cry][cry]]
[They’re all so good! [cry]]
Although no one knew what had happened in between, Gu de Mo Ning had clearly completely defeated Wan Shi Ru Yi and become the mainstream CP. Brother Wan didn’t seem tragic either; instead, he felt like an older brother finally relieved after seeing his little sister choose the right person.
In short—
Zhao Mochu & netizens: T-T They’re all so good! Wuwuwuwu!
Please continue, continue!
Young Master Gu took his wife home.
But today, they didn’t return to the Gu family estate. The car drove toward Yunding Water Garden.
On the way, Ning Yi lowered her head to play on her phone. Unexpectedly, on her own platform, she saw that whole line of trending searches about “Gu Cheng violently spoiling Ning Yi.” In the end, she was too embarrassed to click in.
Then she saw, among that row of trending searches, there was also a ranking—
Ning Yi had almost forgotten to follow the Global Top 100 Sexiest Men ranking, so she excitedly clicked in to check the results.
There were many popular male artists and celebrities near the top, but she didn’t have to scroll long before she saw Gu Cheng’s photo.
Gu Cheng, President of Gu Group, 29 years old.
Ranked 18th.
Ning Yi: “Wow—”
As expected, domineering CEOs really couldn’t escape the number 18!
188 cm tall, 18.8… Young Master Gu ranked 18th!
Netizens were also delighted:
[Good! Young Master Gu bringing glory to the country!]
[I really want to know what Sister Ning feels like waking up to this face every morning]
[I think both of them must feel very happy seeing each other first thing in the morning, wuwuwu]
Ning Yi was full of praise for this ranking and clapped. “Not bad, not bad. Going to prosper, going to prosper.”
Gu Cheng: “Hm?”
If husband prospered = she prospered.
And CMore’s first round of financing was going extremely well. In the future, completing an IPO and becoming filthy rich wasn’t a dream! Ning Yi also planned to lead an emerging innovative game industry. What a prosperous future—
Ning Yi: Amazing, awooo!
Beside her, Gu Cheng was also looking at the hot topics, but he didn’t care what rank his face had gotten.
Young Master Gu’s focus was on—
#WhenWillGuChengAndNingYiHoldTheirWedding
Gu Cheng: Heh.
It was being pushed forward.
Young Master Gu treated this as the biggest project of the year.
When he said he would give Ning Yi something better, the best, he was truly exaggerating.
On this, Assistant Zhou had the right to speak.
The young master had booked ten of the best studios and wedding planning companies, with hundreds of people working on this massive project at the same time! It was practically like starting a whole company just to brainstorm and arrange every part of the young master and madam’s wedding, before finally selecting the most perfect option!
Madam’s wedding dresses too—now that the timeline had been extended, Young Master Gu directly booked nearly ten haute couture brands and private handmade masters at home and abroad. When the time came, ten dreamy, heavily crafted, breathtaking wedding dresses would be made for her to choose from. Madam could even change into eight gowns in one day just for fun!
And the matching jewellery, accessories, veils, everything would be custom-made over the coming period, with no regard for cost.
As for the wedding location Young Master Gu had chosen—
Assistant Zhou: No comment.
Assistant Zhou shook his head, sighed, and considered it absolutely brilliant.
Princess Ding, what do you have to compare with a tyrant?
What can you possibly use to compete!
Ning Yi had no idea how the tyrant beside her was preparing the wedding.
Only after getting out of the car did she realise they had arrived at Yunding Water Garden.
“We’re not going home for dinner today?” Ning Yi asked.
It didn’t really matter. As long as Gu Cheng was there, food was there. She wouldn’t miss a single meal ^3^
“They’re all home.” Gu Cheng held her hand and walked inside.
Wherever the two of them were together was home.
Gu Cheng had made something for her here.
Ning Yi’s platform had fully embarked on the capital-led commercial path, and the company’s scale was growing larger and larger. So now she had found something new to play with—trying to make a holographic game.
This required breaking through new technical barriers, achieving spatial 3D imaging effects, and realising perfect interaction between the virtual world and the real world… It not only required advanced processor virtualisation technology and cloud gaming flow-control technology, but also problems like high-definition display and real-world projection to be solved.
If Ning Yi really succeeded, she might lead the fourth gaming revolution in this world.
And Ning Yi’s fun idea was very simple—the holographic game would have an apocalypse setting! When the time came, everyone could receive a character and enter the game, immersively experiencing being chased by zombies or chopping zombies down!
Ning Yi refused to believe no one in this world wanted to watch Princess Ding Ding’s great escape in the apocalypse, Princess Ding Ding shining holy light upon zombies, or Princess Ding Ding’s apocalyptic love elegy!
Ning Yi: Anyway, I want to. Hehe ^3^
And their Captain Wan could join in too, using his real-world experience and gaming skills. That way, she could bring her brother along to make big money.
Perfect!
She had also rambled to Gu Cheng about all these future plans, and Young Master Gu gave very professional suggestions.
Then he turned around—and right inside their home, built her a huge, impressive workspace.
“Come look at something.” Gu Cheng’s tone was calm, with none of that “I’m about to show you a surprise” feeling, as if this was all simply what he should do.
But Ning Yi was still very happy, swinging their joined hands. “What is it?”
A door was pushed open, revealing the scene inside—
Ning Yi: “O口O”
Wow—
It was a room full of technology and a futuristic vibe!
On the black desk sat an ultra-large, ultra-high-resolution display, a top-tier computer and mainframe, a dazzling mechanical keyboard and mouse. On the pegboard wall hung almost every VR device on the market, in all kinds of styles. In front of the desk was a fully silver ergonomic mesh chair, designed to protect her lower back, spine, and hips while working.
No programmer could resist a room like this!!
Ning Yi flew inside like a butterfly, touching and looking around.
So happy!
Gu Cheng leaned against the doorway, watching the bright, lively expression on her face, his lips curving slightly.
But all this equipment wasn’t the most important gift.
Gu Cheng lowered his head and took something out of his pocket.
“A Yi,” he called her, “—this is for you.”
“What is it, what is it?” Ning Yi bounced back to him happily and took it.
A small dark-blue booklet.
Her Senior Software Engineer certificate.
Gu Cheng had brought it back for her from the apocalypse.
Ning Yi held the little booklet and blinked.
This certificate had been pressed under the hard bed in the past, covered in dust. But now, in her hands, it had been cleaned—spotless.
Only the marks of time still remained.
When she opened it, her photo inside had some creases, but it had been carefully repaired.
A wave of the past rushed toward her.
For a moment, those struggling years seemed to roar past in front of her.
And because they had exchanged bodies and felt each other’s experiences, all the pain she had endured alone had become something they shared.
Carefully preserved by Gu Cheng.
Treasured.
It was as if the wounds life had given her—the ones she thought she no longer cared about—had been slowly healed by this person.
Ning Yi sniffed slightly. For a brief moment, her nose really did sting a little.
But she never cried.
She had long since thrown away guilt, shame, and weakness!
So Ning Yi blinked hard.
Yet Gu Cheng still sensed the subtle change in her emotions.
The warmth, the faint bitterness, the lingering gratitude that she tried to suppress still flowed from her to him.
Ah—the emotional exchange was still there.
The unstable randomness of the swapping mechanism was gone now, leaving only some residual effects, which were gradually fading day by day.
One day, it would disappear completely from their lives.
But for now, Gu Cheng could still feel what Ning Yi felt.
Amid that slight bitterness, there was even more… fondness.
So Gu Cheng reached out and lifted her into his arms.
Ning Yi curled into his neck like a cat, burying her face.
Just leaning there for a moment.
After all, Gu Cheng was always reliable.
He carried her down the hallway and back to their room, setting her on the bay window seat.
The whole house was quiet—no, the whole world felt quiet. Gu Cheng only cared about her emotions right now.
He gently held the back of her neck and tilted her face up. “Still upset?”
Ning Yi lifted her head again and shook it. “No.”
She had already adjusted.
Her eyes were always bright. “Now we’re living a good life—what’s there to be sad about? We should fight, go wild, indulge—”
Strong 01 would always be happy—
A smile flickered in Gu Cheng’s eyes. He shook his head with a soft sigh. “You…”
He could feel the steady, powerful emotions flowing from her, making him feel that the person in his arms was the most precious thing in the world.
And he wanted her to always be happy—happier still—
So Gu Cheng lowered his head and kissed her.
From the window of their high-rise apartment, the lake in the centre could be seen.
Tonight, the moon was still reflected on the water.
Ning Yi’s emotions gradually softened, turning hazy.
She vaguely remembered—on the last moonlit night, she had done something.
She had recited poetry.
What poem was it?
And what had she done?
Gu Cheng chuckled softly, his voice slightly hoarse.
This lingering mechanism was quite useful—it allowed him to clearly feel, in passing, where Ning Yi was happy, and how she could be even happier.
And then Ning Yi finally remembered—she had teased him before.
And now Gu Cheng was… returning it.
Still double the sensation.
The lake shimmered faintly.
The moonlight shattered across its surface.
The once-strong 01 gradually softened, weakened.
In the end, she curled up on the soft blanket by the bay window.
That troublesome human kept advancing.
Her emotions drifted through the air like hormones. He knew she was happy, so he continued—no, continued even more.
Until Ning Yi was so overwhelmed with happiness that she felt a little dazed.
Why… she didn’t even have the upper hand. How could it feel like this?
But this felt so passive.
Like she was being overwhelmed.
So Ning Yi whined, half aggrieved, “You’re just taking revenge on me.”
“Yes, I am.”
Gu Cheng lowered his head, smiling as he kissed away the tear at the corner of her eye.
Revenge-like pampering.
Revenge-like compensation.
Living this life with her—more intensely, more wildly, more passionately.
Ning Yi couldn’t take it. “Okay, okay—”
Gu Cheng smiled and kissed her forehead.
“My future acts of ‘revenge’—”
“I’ll only say the last three words.”
“Alright?”
“Wuwu, you jerk.”
