The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 733 Proposal
Hearing these words, Li Ziqing covered her mouth, trembling with excitement.
She had imagined this scene countless times and prepared for it just as often.
But when it really arrived, Li Ziqing still couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
Although this proposal had no flowers, no diamond ring, and no props related to a proposal.
But did those things matter to Li Ziqing?
The answer was obviously no; none of it mattered.
The only important thing was the person proposing.
As long as the person proposing was right, all the fancy things became unimportant.
"Will you?"
Li Ziqing was so excited that she couldn't speak for more than thirty seconds, and even forgot to say the most important 'three words'.
Chen Xiao had been full of confidence, but Li Ziqing's silence made him suddenly feel uneasy.
Was she unhappy with this impromptu proposal?
The usually confident Chen Xiao was now beginning to have doubts, so he asked again.
Li Ziqing then came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "I will, I will!"
Judging from her tone, she wished she could get a marriage certificate with Chen Xiao right then and there.
"After I return from the Xianyin (Hidden Immortal) World, let's get married!"
Such a happy event was settled so simply, looking almost like a joke, but both Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing knew that it was very serious.
After settling things, Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing first returned to the ancestral home.
Li Ziqing called her elder brother, Li Zigang: "Brother, what are you doing? If you're free, come to the ancestral home."
"I'm at work, delivering food!"
Li Zigang's hurried voice came from the other end of the phone. "Are you at Third Uncle's house? What's the rush?"
Li Zigang still didn't know about the death of their Third Uncle, Li Dahai.
Li Ziqing said, "I'm getting married, and I want you and Uncle to witness it."
"Ah? Wait for me, I'll bring Dad over right away!"
Li Zigang hung up the phone in a hurry. More than thirty minutes later, Li Zigang arrived at the Li family's ancestral home with his father, Li Dashan.
The father and son were dressed in new clothes. They thought Li Ziqing was getting married today, but they only understood what was happening after they arrived.
Li Dashan and his son felt honored to receive an invitation to Li Ziqing's wedding. They had originally thought that Li Ziqing would never forgive them.
"Ziqing, where is your Third Uncle's family?"
Li Dashan talked to Li Ziqing in the hall for a long time, but he didn't see anyone from his third brother's family. He couldn't help but wonder if it was inappropriate for none of the Third Uncle's family to show up for such an important event.
"I don't have a Third Uncle."
Li Ziqing shook her head and said coldly.
Li Dashan and Li Zigang exchanged glances. From Li Ziqing's words, it was clear that she hadn't forgiven Li Dahai. Then why was she here? This was Li Dahai's house!
"Li Dahai's family is dead."
Li Ziqing said casually.
Li Dashan's eyes widened immediately, and Li Zigang was also extremely shocked.
Suddenly, the father and son thought of something, but they didn't dare to ask.
"Oh right, all the five great families except the Song family are dead."
Casually, Li Ziqing revealed another bombshell.
In fact, even if she didn't say it now, the news would soon spread throughout the Imperial City.
The Li Dashan father and son were completely dumbfounded.
They knew that Li Ziqing had returned for revenge, but they didn't expect that Li Ziqing had actually done it, and in such a short period of time. It was simply devastating.
After a long while, Li Dashan came back to his senses from the shock, his smile filled with pride and heartache: "Ziqing, you are indeed your father's child, surpassing your predecessors. You have done what your father couldn't do."
Li Ziqing shook her head with a wry smile: "I wish I hadn't done these things, and could have them back by my side. If I had a choice, I would want to be born into an ordinary family. Life may be ordinary, but it is stable and happy."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Ziqing, you are a descendant of the Eternal Immortal Emperor. From the moment your mother conceived you, it was destined that you would not be able to live like an ordinary person."
Chen Xiao was still considering when would be the right time to tell Li Ziqing about the descendants of the Eternal Immortal Emperor.
Or, it might not be too late to tell her after uncovering all the secrets of the runes in her body.
"Uncle, Brother, I won't be staying in the Imperial City for long in the future, so you two should move into the ancestral home."
Li Ziqing said.
"Okay, then Gangzi and I will move in someday."
Li Dashan did not decline and agreed readily.
Although he didn't have deep feelings for this ancestral home, after all, he had already started a family when his second brother redeemed the ancestral home back then.
But this was, after all, the Li family's ancestral home, the place where the souls of the Li family's ancestors rested. As the eldest son of the Li family, he should guard it here.
"Brother, don't deliver food anymore in the future. My company will open in the Imperial City later. At that time, come to the company to help. You can be a vice president first, how about that?"
Li Ziqing arranged with the air of a domineering CEO.
"No, no, how can I be a vice president?"
Li Zigang waved his hand quickly. "Ziqing, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm really not that material. I don't even know what your company does, how can I be a vice president as soon as I come?"
"Our company is involved in many industries. It can be said that whatever you know how to do, we can do. Don't you like delivering food? Then we will create a food delivery platform, and you will be in charge of it."
Li Ziqing said calmly.
"..."
Li Zigang was speechless. This sister was too domineering!
"Hehe, Gangzi, just agree to Ziqing, be bold and go for it!"
Li Dashan could see that Li Ziqing wanted Li Zigang to carry the banner of the Li family in the Imperial City.
This was not an easy task for his honest son.
But it was also an opportunity, better than delivering food for the rest of his life!
"Okay, then, Brother agrees with you. I will do my best!"
Li Zigang said, clenching his fist.
"Yes, go for it, Brother. I believe in you!"
Li Ziqing smiled.
In fact, Li Zigang didn't need to work hard to do anything. She didn't even think about letting Li Zigang carry any banner.
She would send a professional team to manage the company. The reason why she let Li Zigang be the vice president was nothing more than to provide them with some assistance in terms of money in a disguised form.
After explaining these things, Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing planned to return to Jiang City.
They wanted to tell Liu Zhen about the marriage. Mom would definitely be very happy to hear the good news!
