Chapter 165 We're Getting Married Today

This time, Chen Xiao went straight home.

It was already past ten o'clock at night in China, and the night was deep.

Chen Xiao returned to Shanhai No. 1 and pushed the door open. His mother was still sitting on the sofa watching TV, with a blanket over her legs, completely engrossed.

It was just an ordinary scene, but Chen Xiao found it exceptionally warm.

"Mom, I'm back."

Chen Xiao said.

"Oh, son, you're back! Have you eaten? Mom will make you something!"

As she spoke, Liu Zhen sat up from the sofa.

For Chen Xiao, it felt like he had been away from home for a long time.

But for his mother, Chen Xiao had only been away on a business trip for a week, and she was used to it.

Young people should be busy.

A successful son makes his mother happy.

"Mom, I've eaten, you don't need to bother."

Chen Xiao quickly let his mother sit down and sat down beside her.

"I'll watch TV with you for a while. I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to spend with you."

Chen Xiao said with emotion.

"It's good to be busy, being busy means you're going places. If you stayed home with me every day, I'd get annoyed!"

His mother pretended to be disgusted, but actually, she just didn't want her son to feel guilty.

The TV was showing a program with no substance, but the mother and son watched with relish, chatting and commenting on the show.

During a commercial break, Chen Xiao suddenly said, "By the way, Mom, I have something to tell you."

"What is it? Go ahead!"

Chen Xiao spoke casually, and Liu Zhen didn't pay much attention.

But she didn't expect Chen Xiao to say, "Mom, I'm getting married."

"Married?!"

Liu Zhen sat up straight. "To whom? When? Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"I'm telling you now!"

Chen Xiao was amused by his mother's reaction. "Who else would I marry? Of course, it's Li Ziqing, you've already approved of her!"

"Hehe, good, Ziqing is a good girl, Mom likes her!"

Liu Zhen was beaming. "Son, marriage is a big deal. I have to think carefully about how to prepare for you."

"You're successful now, so even if the wedding isn't extravagant, the people who should be invited must be invited. And we must choose an auspicious day. This can't be taken lightly, otherwise, you two might have constant little conflicts in the future."

"By the way, what about my future in-laws? I haven't met them yet."

One thing after another, Liu Zhen thought more and more, calculated more and more, and the things to prepare increased more and more.

"No need, Mom."

Chen Xiao shook his head with a smile. "None of those things you mentioned are necessary."

"No need?"

Liu Zhen was slightly stunned, not understanding.

"And I plan to get married today."

Chen Xiao's next sentence made Liu Zhen's mouth drop open, her face filled with disbelief.

"Son, tell Mom the truth, is Mom dying? Why are you suddenly in such a hurry? No, even if Mom has a terminal illness, you don't need to be so hasty. You're not going to die before tonight, are you!"

Liu Zhen asked, terrified.

Chen Xiao was once again amused by his mother. "Mom, what are you talking about? You're in good health, how could you suddenly get a terminal illness? The reason I'm in such a hurry is because I have a reason to do so."

"Son, what's going on? Can you tell Mom? Don't let Mom worry blindly."

Liu Zhen pleaded, her eyes filled with worry and panic.

Seeing his mother like this, Chen Xiao suddenly paused.

He was wondering whether to tell his mother about the impending disaster.

This kind of thing was even more serious than his mother getting a terminal illness.

Originally, Chen Xiao naturally felt that there was no need to tell his mother about this, as it was also a kind of protection for her.

But now, Chen Xiao suddenly changed his mind.

Because he felt that his mother had the right to know.

Instead of letting her worry and speculate, he might as well tell her the truth and let her face it with him.

"Mom, I'm going to tell you something, don't panic, and don't be afraid."

Chen Xiao said.

"Son, tell me, Mom can handle it."

Liu Zhen said with a serious face.

"Okay, actually, the thing is like this…"

Chen Xiao nodded and briefly told his mother about what was happening.

When Chen Xiao had only said a little more than half, Liu Zhen's eyes had already begun to become dull, with a completely unbelievable look on her face.

But after hearing the end and getting all the truth, Liu Zhen believed Chen Xiao's words.

Some of her past doubts were also answered.

"Son, you've suffered…"

Liu Zhen stroked her son's face, saying with heartache, "Mom didn't expect that you've experienced so much in the past six months."

Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head. "Mom, I haven't suffered. Although I did suffer a bit, I gained more. Compared to that, suffering that little bit is nothing."

"But next, you have to shoulder the safety of the entire world on your shoulders. That's too hard, you'll be crushed."

Liu Zhen said with heartache.

"I won't collapse, and I will definitely win this defense war. Mom, do you believe me?"

Chen Xiao asked seriously.

"Silly child, of course, Mom believes you, when has Mom not believed you."

Liu Zhen said with tears in her eyes, "You don't need to worry about the things at home, I'll take care of everything. You just need to devote yourself to what you need to do."

"Hehe, thanks, Mom."

Chen Xiao smiled happily, just like when he was in school.

At that time, facing the entrance examination, the pressure was extremely high.

His mother told him: "Son, you just need to study hard and take the exam well. Mom will take care of everything else, you don't need to worry!"

"Silly child, this time it's not you thanking Mom, but Mom thanking you. Mom thanks you for this world!"

At this moment, Liu Zhen could no longer hold back her tears, and they flowed down.

"Mom, why are you crying? Today is my big day!"

Chen Xiao pretended to put on a stern face.

"Right, Mom won't cry, today is your big day. Mom isn't going to prepare anything for you, but since you're getting married, aren't you missing something?"

Liu Zhen asked.

"Missing something?"

Chen Xiao asked back.

"The bride!"

Liu Zhen rolled her eyes at her son. The fate of the whole world is entrusted to you, is that really okay?

"Haha, right, I forgot about that!"

Chen Xiao patted his head and laughed. After laughing, he immediately called Li Ziqing.

"Hey, Ziqing, where are you? No matter how important things you have right now, please come home immediately and marry me!"

Hearing Chen Xiao's joking words, Li Ziqing on the other end of the phone was stunned, and her whole body fell into a daze.
