Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 333 Lin Mu and Yun Xiling's Wedding

Soon, light footsteps came from inside. The door opened, and a faint aroma of flour and butter wafted out.

Yun Xiling opened the door. She was wearing comfortable cotton loungewear and an apron with cute baking patterns. Her face had a gentle, slightly tired but happy smile, and her hands were still covered in white flour. A few strands of hair fell playfully beside her forehead.

"Xiao Yi? Xiao Yue? Why are you here today? Didn't you say you were taking tomorrow's train?" Seeing her younger brother and soon-to-be sister-in-law outside the door, Yun Xiling was both surprised and delighted. She quickly stepped aside to let them in. "Come in, come in! It must be hot outside, right?"

"I wanted to give you a surprise!" Yun Yi entered the room with a grin, put down his suitcase, and gave his sister a big hug. "Sis! Congratulations! You're finally going to have the ceremony! I've missed you so much!" He hugged his sister like a child and wouldn't let go.

Yun Xiling smiled and hugged him back, gently patting his back: "You're such a grown man, why are you still acting like a child? Let go, I'm covered in flour."

Lin Yue followed her in and said softly, "Congratulations, Sister Xiling." She handed over the seaweed she was holding, "I bought it on the way."

"Thank you, Xiaoyue!" Yun Xiling accepted the gift, her smile deepening. "Your presence is the best gift. Come in quickly, don't just stand at the door."

The living room was filled with a busy yet happy atmosphere. Several wedding photo albums were on the sofa, and sample invitations, wedding program schedules, and various candy boxes were scattered on the coffee table.

In the corner were several large, unopened cardboard boxes, which looked like wedding supplies.

"Wow, it smells so good!" Yunyi sniffed and followed the aroma into the kitchen. "Sis, what are you making? Are you trying out wedding desserts?"

"You have such a keen sense of smell!" Yun Xiling laughed and followed her inside, her tone indulgent. "I'm baking a few kinds of cookies and biscuits to serve guests tomorrow. Be careful, they're hot, they're fresh out of the oven."

Lin Yue placed her luggage in the corner of the living room and then walked to the kitchen doorway, quietly watching the lively and warm interaction inside.

The oven was emitting warm steam, and the countertop was covered with cookie dough of various shapes, piping bags, and molds.

This is what home feels like; it's the most genuine warmth in the everyday world.

My brother has finally found his home and is experiencing real happiness. That's wonderful.

After a while, the sound of a key turning came from the doorway, followed by the sound of the door being pushed open.

Lin Mu has returned.

He was wearing a light blue shirt and well-pressed dark trousers, looking like he had just finished some business outside. His face showed some fatigue, but his brows revealed a calm and full happiness.

Upon seeing Lin Yue in the living room and hearing laughter coming from the kitchen, a smile immediately appeared on his usually stern face.

"Little sister, why didn't you let me pick you up when you arrived?" He first looked at Lin Yue, his voice as steady as ever, yet tinged with obvious pleasure. Then, raising his voice slightly towards the kitchen, he asked, "Xiao Yi, were you bothering her again?"

"Brother!" Lin Yue stepped forward and gently hugged her brother.

"Brother Mu!" Yun Yi poked his head out from the kitchen, his face still covered in flour. "Congratulations! You're finally going to marry my sister legitimately! I didn't cause any trouble, I was helping out!"

Lin Mu smiled and shook his head, walked over and ruffled Yun Yi's hair, then naturally went to the kitchen, gently hugged Yun Xiling who was busy from behind, and affectionately rubbed his chin against the top of her head: "You've worked hard, my bride."

Yun Xiling turned her head and smiled gently at him: "It's not hard work. Is everything done?"

"Yes, the hotel and wedding planner have been confirmed one last time, and everything is arranged," Lin Mu replied, then looked at Lin Yue and Yun Yi. "My parents just spoke to me on the phone, and they'll be going to the hotel first thing tomorrow morning. They've been talking about you two, saying that Xiao Yi must have grown taller again, and Xiao Yue is even more beautiful."

The "Mom and Dad" he mentioned were, of course, Yun Yi's parents. Yun's parents were simple and kind people who had always liked Lin Mu, this steady, reliable, hardworking and ambitious young man. They had long regarded him as half a son and were extremely satisfied with and supportive of this marriage.

In their eyes, Lin Mu and Yun Xiling were both capable executives at the insurance company (one of the Knights Association's cover identities), with stable and respectable jobs, upright character, and bright futures—a match made in heaven.

"Are your uncle and aunt alright?" Lin Yue asked.

"Everything's fine, I was just thinking about you all. Mom even asked Xiaoyue what dishes you like to eat, so she can bring them to you tomorrow," Lin Mu said with a smile, his tone relaxed.

Being able to enjoy such ordinary yet sincere family affection and happiness as an ordinary person is an invaluable gift for him and Xi Ling, who have been walking on the edge of danger for many years and protecting the peace of the city.

In the evening, the four of them had a simple yet exceptionally warm dinner at home, mostly dishes prepared by Yun Xiling from her hometown.

The room was filled with laughter and chatter, mainly revolving around Yun Yi's achievements. Lin Mu and Yun Xiling occasionally exchanged a few words, their eyes conveying unspoken understanding and affection.

After dinner, Lin Mu and Yun Xiling went to the study to finalize some details. Yun Yi volunteered to wash the dishes, humming a tune as he busied himself in the kitchen. Lin Yue, meanwhile, leaned back on the sofa in the living room, casually flipping through the wedding photo albums.

In the photos, the older brother and sister Xiling are dressed in exquisite formal wear, gazing lovingly at each other or laughing heartily under the photographer's lens, every moment capturing happiness.

That was a genuinely relaxed and joyful smile, completely different from the composed and even aloof demeanor she remembered her brother for most of the time.

Outside the window, the night view of Y City gradually unfolded, with thousands of lights shining, warm and peaceful. This long-lost tranquility and peace of home made her feel at ease.

She knew that her brother and sister Xiling, as high-ranking officials of the Rider Association and former Kamen Rider W users, might have experienced countless unknown storms, dangers, and sacrifices behind the scenes. But at this moment, they had shed all their glory and responsibilities and were just ordinary newlyweds about to enter the hall of marriage, immersed in happiness.

This simple happiness is perhaps more precious to them than any achievement. That's enough.

The next day, as soon as it was light, the house began to stir.

Yun Yi got up early in the morning, ironed his best man's suit again, and practiced tying his tie repeatedly in front of the mirror, as nervous as if he himself was getting married.

Lin Yue, on the other hand, remained relatively calm. She changed into a bridesmaid dress that had been prepared in advance—a simple and elegant knee-length tulle dress in a light lavender purple, which made her skin appear even whiter and added a touch of softness to her cool and aloof temperament.

She wasn't used to wearing such a dress and shoes with a bit of heel, but for her brother's big day, she quietly went along with it.

Meanwhile, Yun Xiling, surrounded by her girlfriends and a professional makeup artist, was undergoing meticulous makeup and hair styling. Wearing a pure white wedding dress, an exquisite veil, and jewelry, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Lin Mu was in another room, accompanied by Yun Yi and several other groomsmen—most of whom were his colleagues from the "insurance company," but in reality, his comrades from the Knights Association—to prepare. Zhuang Changwu was also among them.

At 10:00 a.m. sharp, the wedding procession arrived downstairs on time. There was no overly extravagant display, but the procession was neat and orderly, decorated with beautiful flowers and ribbons.

According to custom, after a series of "difficult" steps, Lin Mu finally succeeded in overcoming many "obstacles" and met his beautiful bride.

The wedding ceremony was held in the banquet hall of an elegant lakeside hotel in Y City.

There was no pursuit of extreme luxury and extravagance, but the couple's dedication was evident in every detail.

The venue was decorated in a warm and romantic style, with champagne and white as the main colors. A huge crystal chandelier cast a warm glow, and countless flowers adorned the aisles, the stage, and every table. The atmosphere was fresh and elegant, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance and a sweet aroma.

Guests arrived one after another, mostly relatives and friends of both sides, as well as colleagues from the "insurance company".

Yun's parents arrived early, dressed in festive attire, their faces beaming with pride and joy, busy greeting relatives and friends.

At 11:58, the auspicious time has arrived.

The solemn and beautiful melody of the wedding march slowly filled the banquet hall, all the lights dimmed slightly, and spotlights shone on the closed doors of the banquet hall.

All the guests fell silent, their eyes fixed on the entrance.

The door slowly opened.

The first to enter were the flower girls, a pair of adorable children dressed in little dresses and tulle skirts, scattering flower petals with a slightly nervous air.

Then, the best men and bridesmaids entered in pairs. Yun Yi, as a best man, tried his best to maintain a serious expression and straighten his back, but his slightly trembling fingers and shining eyes still betrayed his excitement. Next, Lin Yue and another best man slowly walked in.

Finally, all eyes were on the doorway.

The music reached a gentle climax.

Lin Mu stood alone in front of the altar, turned around, and stared intently at the door. His face no longer had its usual coldness, but was filled with anticipation, love, and a hint of nervousness that he could not hide.

Under everyone's gaze, Yun Xiling appeared at the door, arm in arm with her father.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

She wore a pure white wedding dress, her veil lightly covering her head, her makeup exquisite, and a shy yet happy smile on her face. Her father's eyes were slightly red, but he proudly straightened his back and carefully placed his daughter's hand in his.

The father solemnly placed Yun Xiling's hand in Lin Mu's. Lin Mu bowed deeply to his father-in-law, then firmly grasped Yun Xiling's hand.

Hand in hand, they walked step by step towards the center of the ceremony platform, treading on a path paved with flower petals, amidst the blessings of all their relatives and friends.

The lights followed them, as if following the trajectory of happiness.

"Xi Ling, thank you for coming into my life. In the past, present, and future, in good times and bad, I will always love you, respect you, and protect you. It is my greatest fortune to be able to walk hand in hand with you in this life."

Yun Xiling's eyes welled up with tears, her voice gentle yet firm: "Lin Mu, I am willing to be your wife. To protect our home with you, and to share all the joys and sorrows of life."

Forever.

Next came the ring exchange. Lin Mu and Yun Xiling carefully placed the rings, symbolizing their eternal commitment, on each other's fingers.

"Now, the groom may kiss his bride," the emcee announced with a smile.

Lin Mu gently lifted Yun Xiling's veil, leaned down, and placed a tender and precious kiss on her lips.

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers. Yun Yi was so excited that he almost jumped up, but Zhuang Changwu next to him smiled and pressed his shoulder down.

Lin Yue stood to the side, watching her brother and sister-in-law, seeing the happiness in their eyes, a sense of peaceful contentment filled her heart.

After the ceremony, it was time for the newlyweds and their families to take photos together. The photo session was lively and heartwarming. Photos of the Yun family parents, Lin Mu and Yun Xiling, the best man and bridesmaids... all sorts of groups were filled with laughter and joy.

The banquet officially started.

The wedding proceeded smoothly without any unexpected events.

There were no sudden attacks by strange characters, no emergency summons, and no secret missions that forced them to leave. It was a pure, perfect wedding, full of love and blessings.

For Lin Mu and Yun Xiling, for Lin Yue and Yun Yi, and for everyone who knows their other identity, such an ordinary yet beautiful day is itself a great happiness.

As the banquet drew to a close, the lights dimmed and the music softened. Lin Mu and Yun Xiling embraced and stepped onto the dance floor, dancing the first dance. Afterward, more relatives and friends joined them.

Yun Yi was eager to try, his eyes scanning the crowd, but he eventually scratched his head a little embarrassedly and sat back down next to Lin Yue.

"Why don't you go jump?" Lin Yue rarely asked.

"I...I'm not very good at dancing." Yun Yi chuckled. "Besides, it looks good. Sister Lin Yue, look how good it is."

"Mmm." Lin Yue responded softly, her gaze falling on the figure of her brother gently embracing his sister-in-law on the dance floor.

Outside the window, the night sky over Y City was gentle and the lights were dazzling. Inside, the joy and warmth of the wedding continued, as if freezing all this beauty into eternity.

This is a perfect ending, and also a hopeful new beginning.
