Life After Being Claimed by the Disabled Dragon Lady - Chapter 99
The nervousness Long Ling felt about getting married dissipated slightly. She secretly glanced at the kiss mark on her palm, and her cheeks couldn’t help but feel warm.
She pressed Violet’s cool hand against her cheek, her bright eyes looking at Violet: “I need to cool down now before I can go out.”
Violet looked at Long Ling’s flushed face, gently stroked her head with one hand, and opened the window with the other.
A cool breeze blew in from outside, lifting her silver-white long hair. The floral wreath on her head swayed gently in the cold wind.
Long Ling’s gaze drifted downwards. Water flowed gently from the musical fountain, little flower children were playing in the square, the classical music was elegant and romantic, and the church where the guests were watching the ceremony was crowded.
Just thinking about exchanging rings and reciting the wedding vows with Violet in front of so many people made Long Ling’s recently adjusted heart rate speed up again.
She placed her hand over her chest, trying to calm down her rapidly beating heart.
Seeing that Long Ling was still nervous, Violet poured a cup of warm water and handed it to her.
“Everyone who came to the wedding this time is our family. They are all here to bless us. The wedding has been arranged, and nothing will go wrong.”
Long Ling held the hot water with both hands, took a sip to moisten her throat, and her body also warmed up.
She nodded: “I’m almost ready. Let’s go out together in a moment.”
Violet smiled slightly: “Help me put on my veil.”
Long Ling put down the water cup, picked up the light veil from the table with both hands, and gently draped it over Violet’s dark long hair.
The pure white veil cascaded down like moonlight, obscuring Violet’s deep-set eyes, an ineffable vision of beauty and grace.
Long Ling was watching, somewhat lost in thought, and Violet’s eyes were also filled with affection. The door creaked open from the outside.
Seeing the two of them looking into each other’s eyes, Lorraine’s eyes flashed with amazement. She couldn’t help but step back a couple of paces and asked with a smiling face: “Am I interrupting your intimacy?”
Long Ling turned to look at her, pursing her lips into a gentle smile: “I was just putting on the veil for Violet.”
Lorraine raised an eyebrow: “Wives-to-be are just different; you still have to be reserved in front of me. I’m here to deliver the bouquets for you. I’ll leave right after; I won’t delay your marital bliss.”
She deliberately glanced at Violet and noticed that the entire dragon seemed radiant now. The nourishment of love truly made a difference.
Lorraine took elegant strides and placed the blooming bouquet in Violet’s hands: “Violet, when you toss the bouquet later, remember to throw it to me. Maybe I can also find the one meant for me.”
Violet looked at her: “Find a good spot and wait to catch it yourself.”
Long Ling thought of the witch she met when buying fireworks and couldn’t help but ask: “Don’t you like the witch sister anymore?”
Lorraine touched her nose: “Her? We’ll talk about that later. Isn’t this you’re wedding right now?”
Long Ling guessed that Lorraine’s romantic progress might not be going smoothly, and nodded slightly: “Don’t I need to hold a bouquet?”
Lorraine tutted softly: “Do you, an Alpha, need a bouquet too?”
Long Ling’s eyes were clear: “Is that not allowed?”
Violet placed the bouquet in Long Ling’s hands, her tone gentle: “This is for you.”
Long Ling quickly returned the bouquet to Violet, a little shy: “I was just asking, I didn’t actually want one.”
No one knew better than her how much Violet valued this wedding. She had been busy preparing for half a month to ensure the wedding was grand enough and that no problems would occur.
Violet knew that her little strawberry dragon was just curious and wanted one, and her eyes were full of indulgence: “Don’t worry. I prepared many of these bouquets.”
She turned and called Elena in: “Go and get another spare bouquet.”
A new bouquet was quickly delivered to Long Ling’s hands, identical to the one in Violet’s hand.
Long Ling smelled the sweet floral scent, her heart full of happiness.
Lorraine was full of admiration. She wondered how Violet had managed to win back the little strawberry dragon—it turned out she was this doting, even preparing an identical bouquet.
She sincerely offered her best wishes: “Congratulations on your marriage.”
Both Long Ling and Violet thanked Lorraine.
Soon after Lorraine left, Airlis also arrived.
She walked towards Long Ling, her emerald eyes as gentle as before, and offered Long Ling sincere blessings: “Long Ling, congratulations on getting married. I hope you will be happy every day from now on.”
Long Ling’s eyes curved: “Thank you, Airlis. I hope you will also be happy every day.”
Violet’s gaze deepened, and she did not speak for a moment.
Airlis looked at Violet, as serene as the forest, and sincerely said: “Congratulations on getting back together with Long Ling.”
Violet lifted her chin slightly: “Thank you.”
Airlis did not mind Violet’s arrogance. She merely focused on Long Ling, taking out a cage containing two adorable pink Moon Shadow Rabbits, and presented it to her: “I thought about you getting married, and that you might not go to the forest often in the future, so I brought the rabbits over as your wedding gift.”
Long Ling recalled the difficult days when Airlis was by her side, and she was deeply moved.
She quickly thanked Airlis: “I love this gift very much.”
Airlis smiled: “I’m glad you like it. Annie originally planned to come in with me, but she remembered what happened last time, so she asked me to send you, her blessing. She will watch the wedding from below.”
Long Ling pursed her lips, still feeling a little apologetic about Annie, and said with a smile: “I’ve received both of your kind intentions. Thank you.”
After Airlis put down the Moon Shadow Rabbits, she left the room, leaving only Long Ling and Violet there.
Long Ling took Violet’s hand: “Violet, let’s go out together.”
Violet returned the grasp of Long Ling’s hand, knowing that Long Ling only had eyes for her, and smiled: “Let’s go.”
As the golden carved doors slowly opened, the two walked hand-in-hand, wearing pure and flawless wedding dresses, into the solemn and sacred church.
Sunlight streamed through the stained-glass dome into the magnificent church. Tiny golden particles danced in the air, casting a bright light on their intertwined figures.
The wedding music paused. The countless guests around them focused their congratulatory gazes on the two of them.
They walked with elegant steps and stood together on the altar in the center of the wedding.
The priest officiated the wedding beside them. Long Ling stood across from Violet, and her hands tightly clutching the bouquet were already sweaty.
She could barely hear the surrounding sounds; her gaze was fixed only on Violet. Only Violet could truly reach the depths of her heart.
Violet was also gazing deeply at her.
At this moment, their eyes were only for each other.
The entire venue gradually fell silent.
When the priest asked in a slow, low voice: “Miss Long Ling, in poverty, illness, hardship, pain, or in wealth, health, joy, and happiness, will you be willing to love and protect Miss Violet, never leaving her side, for all of eternity?”
Long Ling’s eyes were bright: “I do.”
The priest then looked at Violet and asked the same question: “Miss Violet, in poverty, illness, hardship, pain, or in wealth, health, joy, and happiness, will you be willing to love and protect Miss Long Ling, never leaving her side, for all of eternity?”
Violet curved her red lips: “I do.”
The priest looked at the sweet couple, a smile also appeared on his face, and he said softly: “Now you may kiss each other and exchange rings.”
Long Ling was still a little shy about kissing in front of a large crowd.
She secretly glanced at the audience. Mo Dai, Xue Lai, and her grandmother were seated in the first row. On the other side, in the first row, were Violet’s great-grandmother, the Queen, and Crown Prince Lorraine. All their relatives and friends were watching the two of them with anticipation.
Violet took her hand and said in a low voice: “If you’re shy, we can exchange the rings first.”
Long Ling knew that she needed to be more proactive at this moment. She gently closed her eyes, lifted Violet’s veil, and kissed Violet’s lips.
Violet wrapped her arms around Long Ling’s neck and gently returned the sweet kiss.
A thunderous round of applause erupted from the audience.
The two separated after a brief kiss, their cheeks flushed. Their eyes, filled with love for each other, were the envy of everyone present.
Long Ling had to place the wedding ring she prepared for Violet onto her finger again. This time, she was more practiced than the first time.
Before entering the church, Long Ling was very nervous, but as she truly experienced that moment and felt the many benevolent blessings, her heart was completely filled with happiness.
Long Ling lifted Violet’s hand, which was covered with a pure white lace glove, and slowly slipped the gemstone ring onto Violet’s finger.
Violet also took out a gemstone ring, brimming with overflowing magical elements, and placed it on Long Ling’s ring finger: “This is a keepsake my mother left for me. From today onward, you are my only love.”
Long Ling was deeply touched and could not help but exclaim: “You are my most beloved person too!”
The moment they exchanged rings and held hands, another round of enthusiastic applause sounded from the audience.
The dragons of the Fergus family were usually very conscious of their status, but seeing the two dragons together so sweetly, their eyes were full of blessings. The Great-Grandmother and the Queen also nodded slightly toward Long Ling, indicating their approval.
Mo Dai and Xue Lai saw that Long Ling’s marriage had the approval of everyone and felt nothing but love and hope for Long Ling.
The flower children scattered pink petals everywhere, covering their wedding dresses with flowers.
Long Ling helped brush some petals off Violet’s veil and skirt, but there were so many that she couldn’t brush them all away. Violet patted her hand, signaling her not to worry about the fallen flowers.
Next, they had to toss their bouquets. Many single dragons from both families, seeing the couple’s happiness and longing for a sweet romance, rushed over to catch the flowers. Even Lorraine came to join in the fun.
Long Ling also saw Annie among these dragons, but Airlis did not come to catch the bouquet; she was chatting with her mother, Xue Lai.
Violet tossed her bouquet to Lorraine, while Long Ling tossed hers to Annie, conveying their happiness and hoping that every dragon would encounter their own love.
The lively wedding banquet continued until late at night. Only then did Long Ling and Violet return to their newlywed room.
After changing out of their wedding dresses and showering, Long Ling knelt on the bed and massaged Violet’s shoulders: “Violet, you worked hard today. We are finally married.”
Violet playfully glared at her: “Why are you still calling me by my name?”
Long Ling snuggled into her neck and sweetly called: “My dear wife.”
Violet rubbed her head and leaned into Long Ling’s arms: “Mmm~”
Long Ling continued to massage lower, using her warm, slender fingertips to gently rub her waist: “My dear wife, is there anywhere you’re uncomfortable that you need me to rub for you?”
Violet’s lips curved upward: “Rub here first.”
Long Ling seriously helped her massage, using a moderate amount of pressure. Violet’s fatigue from recent days was greatly reduced, and she felt comfortable both physically and mentally.
Violet was in a good mood. She pulled Long Ling into her arms, wrapped her crimson dragon tail around Long Ling’s long legs, and lightly pecked Long Ling’s red lips: “Where did you go for advanced studies recently? You rub so well.”
Long Ling’s heart softened from the kiss. She glanced at Violet’s increasingly shapely figure. She herself had not changed, but it was possible that Violet’s body had become more sensitive because she was pregnant.
She pulled Violet’s dragon tail down from her thigh and said softly: “This is my duty. We are married, and I will take good care of you from now on.”
The tip of Violet’s dragon tail wrapped around Long Ling’s smooth calf again and gently patted it: “Rub my tail.”
