The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 734 Mom Misunderstands

Chapter 194 Getting Married

Returning to Jiangcheng, Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing did not use any means of transportation.

Chen Xiao took Li Ziqing to experience instantaneous movement.

Li Ziqing saw Chen Xiao take out a very thick and long writing brush from who knows where, scribbling on the ground. Then, with a flash of light, she had already returned to the villa in Shanhai Yipin.

"This, this, what's going on?"

Looking at everything around her, Li Ziqing was full of astonishment.

Chen Xiao smiled mysteriously and said, "This brush of mine is called the Judge's Pen (Pan Guan Bi), and I snatched it from Judge Lu!"

"Judge's Pen? Judge Lu? Are you talking about that Judge Lu from the underworld?"

Li Ziqing asked with an exaggerated expression.

"Exactly!"

Chen Xiao said with a straight face.

Li Ziqing rolled her eyes directly: "I believe you're a ghost!"

I really did get it from Judge Lu, why don't you believe me!

Just as Chen Xiao was about to explain, the sound of a door opening came from outside, followed by light footsteps.

It was Liu Zhen returning, carrying two plastic bags in her hand, containing meat and some vegetables, clearly just back from the market.

"Oh? You're both here!"

Seeing that Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing were actually both at home, Liu Zhen was happy but also a little disbelieving.

Because these two young people were too busy, it was normal for them not to be home for ten days or half a month.

Moreover, even when they did come back, the two of them rarely saw each other.

Liu Zhen even felt that the relationship between these two was not so stable, was it going to fall apart?

Thinking of this, Liu Zhen couldn't help but worry: "What's going on with you two today? It's not even dark yet, why are you both home? Did something happen?"

"Mom, actually, we have something to tell you."

Chen Xiao said seriously, his tone even sounding a little apprehensive.

He was like this because he was a little nervous, after all, he was about to talk about his marriage.

But Liu Zhen completely misunderstood. Seeing Chen Xiao's hesitant appearance, she sighed, waved her hand and said, "Oh, forget it, you don't need to say it, I already guessed it."

"You, you guessed it?"

Li Ziqing looked shocked and confused. Could something like this be guessed? Moreover, why did Mom look unhappy?

Could it be that she doesn't want me to be with Chen Xiao?

Thinking of this, Li Ziqing also began to feel uneasy.

Although she hadn't married Chen Xiao yet, she had long called Liu Zhen 'Mom', and Liu Zhen had given her the same warmth as a mother.

"Yes."

Liu Zhen looked at Li Ziqing and nodded. "This is probably just fate. You're both too busy, and you're apart more than you're together, so it's inevitable that problems will arise… But Ziqing, if you don't mind, I'll always be your mom. You two are my dearest children."

As she spoke, Liu Zhen's voice choked up and she was about to cry.

Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing were first at a loss, then they looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha, Mom, what are you thinking? Did you think Ziqing and I broke up?"

Chen Xiao asked, laughing loudly.

"Isn't that so? If it wasn't for this, how could you two come back so early, and come back together, and you even looked so uneasy, saying you had something important to tell me..."

Liu Zhen analyzed logically, asking suspiciously, "Could it be that what you two want to tell me is not that you're breaking up?"

"Of course not!"

Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing said in unison.

"That's good, that's good, you scared me to death just now!"

Liu Zhen patted her chest, then her face changed and she showed an impatient expression, urging, "Then what is it that's so mysterious? Tell me quickly, don't delay making dinner!"

"Ahem, why don't you say it?"

Chen Xiao coughed twice and looked at Li Ziqing.

"I don't want to, you say it!"

Li Ziqing passed the buck back to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao gritted his teeth, what was there to be afraid of? It was a happy event, why not dare to say it!

"Ahem, um, Mom, Ziqing and I, we've decided to get married!"

Chen Xiao finally said these words, although he was a little hesitant, he finally said them.

"What did you say? I didn't hear clearly, you, you, say it again!"

Liu Zhen's tone also became excited. She clearly heard it, but she didn't dare to confirm it, afraid that she had misheard.

"We're getting married!"

This time, Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing said it in unison.

Liu Zhen was stunned for a long time, before saying repeatedly, "Good, good, good..."

As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the kitchen.

"Mom, is that it? What are you going to do?"

Chen Xiao felt that his mom was a little strange.

"Mom, Mom is going to make dumplings for you!"

Liu Zhen's voice choked, and tears streamed down her face.

But unlike just now, just now it was sadness and heartache, but this time it was too much joy, tears of joy!

"Yay, great, we can eat Mom's dumplings again!"

Li Ziqing remembered that the first time she ate at Chen Xiao's house, it was dumplings.

From then on, the taste of those dumplings seemed to be engraved in her DNA.

No matter what unhappy or sad things happened, as long as she ate a meal of dumplings made by Liu Zhen, she could become happy.

"Mom, wait for me, I'll go help you make them!"

Li Ziqing walked happily towards the kitchen, skipping all the way.

Looking at the backs of his mom and wife, Chen Xiao's mood was indescribable.

He could be sure that the feeling was happiness, and it was a particularly full happiness, so full that it was about to overflow.

He even hoped that time could stay in this moment forever.

But he understood the principle that when the moon is full, it wanes, and when water is full, it overflows.

Ahead, there were still too many unknowns, with dangers and opportunities coexisting.

He secretly kept the mood of this moment in his heart, he would never allow anyone or anything to take away this happiness that he could hold in his hands!

Way of Heaven, come if you want to, when you come, I will definitely make sure you can't handle it.

Chen Xiao clenched his fists, and the imaginary enemy in his mind became clearer and clearer.

He remembered every moment of the scene he saw in the Qingqiu illusion.

And he would never allow that scene to happen in reality.

Just as Chen Xiao was a little distracted by the imagined war, his phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Chen Xiao hung up directly. He didn't answer calls from anyone who wasn't an acquaintance.

But after he hung up three times in a row, the phone kept ringing.

Chen Xiao finally answered the phone: "Hello, who is this? What do you want?"

"Are you Chen Xiao?"

A cold voice came from the other side. Chen Xiao said, "It's me!"

The other side said, "I'm from the personnel department of Jiangcheng Hospital. Due to your prolonged and unjustified absence from work, the hospital is now officially firing you. Please come to the hospital as soon as possible to deal with your personal belongings."
