"Yes, Father," Iris replied in a soft voice. Curious, she asked, "Are you upset that Liwei and I kept our wedding today a secret from all of you?"
Long Tengfei hesitated, but in the end, he still decided to be honest to his daughter. "I was upset, yes. But when I saw you looking so happy in your wedding dress, I no longer feel upset. I've seen so many brides in my life. I've even had three…" He winced upon realizing the topic before clearing his throat and forcing an awkward smile. "I've seen so many brides but I'm 100% certain that you, my daughter, are the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen in my entire life."
Iris smiled, feeling a little choked up. She wasn't sure if this was her own emotions or some residual feelings of Long Xiulan's body. Or maybe she was just simply touched by Long Tengfei's words. It must be a struggle for a man like him who wasn't an affectionate type of person to say these emotional words to his daughter.
