Sending the Groom to Jail on My Ex-Girlfriend's Wedding

240  In the Future, Light Will Be With You!

Although Zhou Qiang didn't know what had happened, he couldn't ignore the nervousness on Su Xuan's face when he answered the phone. Plus, with the case essentially wrapped up, he didn't have any reason to stay.

Su Xuan grabbed his phone and rushed to Central Hospital's third floor. When he arrived, he saw Zhao Ruoxi sitting in front of the operating room, staring at her phone. Her current appearance was something he had never seen before.

After all, the Zhao Ruoxi he had known since their first meeting had always been a strong and resilient person. She seemed capable of handling anything he threw her way. Seeing her like this now, Su Xuan was surprised. He hadn't expected her to show this vulnerable side.

Ever since Su Xuan had met Zhao Ruoxi, she had always portrayed herself as a strong woman, seemingly able to handle whatever life threw at her. Her current demeanor caught him off guard, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of tenderness.

When Su Xuan had first met Zhao Ruoxi, she had been a potential match for him, someone he had wanted to confess his feelings to. Seeing her in this state now, it was impossible for him not to feel heartbroken.

"Ruoxi, is Uncle okay?" Su Xuan asked.

Sitting in the nearby chair, Zhao Ruoxi looked up when she heard his voice, her eyes filled with distress. No matter how strong she had been before, at this moment, she was just a helpless person waiting for news about her father's surgery.

She gazed at Su Xuan and couldn't hold back her emotions as she said, "Su Xuan..." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

In that instant, Su Xuan felt a rush of sympathy, and he stepped forward to embrace her.

　　His voice was gentle but filled with a strong sense of reassurance.

"Don't worry, I'm here..."

Fortunately, while Mr. Zhao's health wasn't great, the surgery went well without any complications. However, in the days to come, he would be prone to various illnesses, becoming what you might call a walking pharmacy.

For Su Xuan, this wasn't a problem at all. He took this opportunity to propose to Zhao Ruoxi.

Zhao Ruoxi was stunned!

Su Xuan said, "I think our feelings for each other have already reached this point. Originally, I wanted to confess and then start dating. But after Uncle's situation, I thought... since we're both interested in each other, why waste time? How about we skip the dating and go straight to marriage?"

Zhao Ruoxi thought to herself, Even if that's the case, you can't be so straightforward about it!

Surprisingly, after this incident, Zhao Ruoxi's parents began to look at Su Xuan with newfound respect. After all, Mr. Zhao knew the state of his own health, and he might be living as a walking medicine cabinet in the future, which would incur significant medical expenses. Most people in such a situation might even consider breaking up, but this guy was willing to face it head-on.

While Zhao Ruoxi felt a bit awkward, she did have feelings for Su Xuan, and his support during this difficult time had given her a strong sense of security. So, she didn't refuse.

With her acceptance, both families started discussing the wedding. One thing for sure was that Su Xuan's parents were relieved. They were genuinely worried that another situation like Qin Shuyi's might arise, and with their old age, they couldn't handle it.

Thankfully, Zhao Ruoxi knew about Su Xuan's previous girlfriend, and her family was financially well-off, so they didn't push for an extravagant dowry. In fact, Zhao Ruoxi's father insisted, "We won't take any dowry, but we'll provide an equal amount as a wedding gift for the couple to use as they please."

Now, even Su Xuan's parents had nothing to worry about.

　　And so, both sides began preparing for the wedding.

Watching Su Xuan getting married, the station chief, Old Mai, couldn't help feeling a bit uneasy. He had been exceptionally kind to Su Xuan recently, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he was losing him once he got married.

The deputy station chief chuckled, "Su Xuan is a rough-and-tough guy. He found such a great girl like Ruoxi. He's the one who hit the jackpot, isn't he?"

However, Old Mai didn't buy into that argument at all. In his heart, Su Xuan was like a tender, juicy piece of cabbage, and he wasn't happy about it.

"No way! I'm going to apply for a second-class merit for Su Xuan!"

The deputy station chief raised an eyebrow, "Isn't Su Xuan already decorated with several second-class merits?"

Old Mai thought for a moment, realizing that Su Xuan indeed had quite a few second-class merits.

"In that case, why don't you consider promoting his rank?"

Old Mai nodded, "That makes sense! I'll go file the application!"

As for what Old Mai did, Su Xuan had no clue. However, he was genuinely happy. After all, this was his first marriage in this life and the previous one combined. How could he not be happy?

He was even getting impatient with the slow pace of the wedding preparations. Finally, the big day arrived, and Su Xuan was ready to pick up the bride early in the morning.

Before fetching the bride, his groomsmen presented him with some gifts. At that time, Su Xuan was still quite composed. However, when he arrived at the hotel, he became completely dazed.

The reason?

His bride was stunning!

He knew that Zhao Ruoxi was a beautiful woman, but he never expected her to look this incredible in a wedding dress. Su Xuan even felt like he might have married a goddess instead.

When the officiant called him to come forward and get his bride, Su Xuan approached Zhao Ruoxi, who was wearing the wedding gown. He got down on one knee and said, "Ruoxi, thank you for marrying me."

Zhao Ruoxi didn't need the officiant to prompt her. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she reached out to him.

Marriage! They had actually taken this step and entered into matrimony.

They both walked towards the stage, and Su Xuan's colleagues in the audience were going crazy.

"Come on! Our office's eligible bachelor is getting hitched, and we're still single!"

Just the thought of it made them mad. They were determined to get some benefits out of this wedding, or they wouldn't be satisfied!

On the wedding day, Old Mai's gift arrived: a guarantee that Su Xuan would be promoted by the end of the year!

He had already submitted the application to the bureau secretly.

Old Mai could tell Su Xuan about it privately, after all, it was almost the end of the year!

Su Xuan was thrilled by this news!

Wow, he had truly reached the peak of his life after transmigrating...

He had earned a second-class merit, found a wife, and now, he was even getting a promotion...

When he thought about the year-end bonus, Su Xuan was practically on cloud nine!

Zhao Ruoxi asked him why he was so happy, but he couldn't tell her the real reason. He simply said that he was overjoyed because it was their wedding day.

The three-day wedding celebrations, along with some days off Su Xuan had taken, allowed them to enjoy a brief vacation in a nearby city.

But when they returned, it was time to get back to work. On his first day back at the office, Su Xuan received news of a new case. A headless female corpse had been found by the seaside.

Old Mai was in a meeting and randomly assigned Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang to investigate.

"Su Xuan, Zhou Qiang, both of you go and take a look. This case is also crucial, and you must find the killer!"

Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang immediately stood up.

"Yes, we promise to complete the mission!"

As they stepped out of the meeting room, Su Xuan took a deep breath in the sunlight.

He was married now, and they were planning to have children in the future.

He had firmly planted his roots in this world.

In the days to come, he would strive for a better future.

"I got it!"

The familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind, and Su Xuan responded mentally as he walked forward.

With a system, a wife, and a family...

His future was incredibly bright!

For now, it was time to solve the case...

The End.

Su Xuan still had a long journey ahead, but the author's writing abilities have their limits, so this is where it ends.

See you in the next book, my friends!
