“Go back and get married? Now?”
Li Ziqing asked in surprise.
“Yeah, didn’t I tell you last time? Once I return from the Immortal Hidden Realm, we’ll get married!”
Chen Xiao said with a serious expression.
“Chen Xiao, I, you, I… are you serious? But it’s already so late? How…”
Li Ziqing was shocked by Chen Xiao’s decision and began to stammer.
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, “Of course I’m serious. Where are you?”
“I’m in a meeting at the company. We have a new project launching soon, so I’m working late… But what you said is more important. I’ll head back now!”
Li Ziqing hung up the phone and announced to the company’s top executives in the conference room, “Today’s meeting is adjourned for now. You all go back and prepare, and tomorrow… no, we’ll continue in a few days!”
Marriage, marriage!
It was marriage! How could she possibly come to work the day after!
Although it was a bit sudden and strange, Li Ziqing was enveloped by immense happiness.
Meanwhile, the company executives in the conference room exchanged bewildered glances, utterly confused.
What’s wrong with President Li?
Li Ziqing then realized she had lost her composure and put on a serious face, “Alright, everyone, you may be dismissed!”
She pretended to tidy up documents to conceal her excitement.
However, at that moment, a flash of light appeared in the conference room, and the next second, Chen Xiao materialized before everyone.
Whoa—
What’s going on? All the company executives were dumbfounded. Where did this person come from? Was this magic?
“Chen Xiao, you…”
Li Ziqing was about to ask Chen Xiao why he was so brazenly using his powers, wasn’t he afraid of being discovered?
But Chen Xiao paid no mind, directly wrapping his arm around Li Ziqing’s slender waist.
Li Ziqing’s body went limp, and she collapsed into Chen Xiao’s embrace.
“Hold on tight.”
Chen Xiao said softly, followed by a swish as a pair of enormous golden wings appeared behind him.
Then, Chen Xiao leaped out of the window, flapping his wings, and soared into the night sky.
The office was silent. All the company executives stood stunned, as if they had just experienced a magnitude twelve storm.
After a while, someone timidly asked, “Is President Li… filming a movie?”
Li Ziqing knew this was no movie; movies didn’t feel this real.
She held Chen Xiao tightly as they flew through the night, the entire Jiangcheng city spread out beneath them.
“What’s gotten into you today? Why expose your true abilities in front of everyone?”
Li Ziqing asked, puzzled.
Chen Xiao replied with a serious expression, “They’ll know sooner or later, might as well let them accept it earlier.”
As he spoke, Chen Xiao’s figure slowly descended.
Finally, he landed in front of a shop.
Bystanders gasped in astonishment, pulling out their phones to record.
Li Ziqing then noticed that Chen Xiao had landed in front of a bridal shop.
Marriage, how could it be complete without a wedding dress?
However, it was too late, and the bridal shop was already closed.
But Li Ziqing knew this was a minor matter for Chen Xiao.
Just as Li Ziqing expected Chen Xiao to use a little trick and magically take her into the bridal shop,
She saw Chen Xiao pick up a roadside trash can and hurl it at the shop’s floor-to-ceiling window.
Crash— The window shattered!
Another round of exclamations erupted from the surroundings, but soon, the gasps turned into cheers and whistling catcalls.
Someone recognized Chen Xiao’s actions and shouted, “Wow, this is a tribute to ‘A Moment of Romance’! Totally epic!”
“Let’s go inside and pick out one you like.”
Chen Xiao took Li Ziqing’s hand and walked directly into the bridal shop.
Li Ziqing chose a white wedding dress and was very satisfied after trying it on.
Yes, this was the wedding dress of her dreams.
Before leaving, Li Ziqing secretly left a bank card with enough money to buy the entire bridal shop.
As the two walked out of the bridal shop, the person who had recognized Chen Xiao’s homage to “A Moment of Romance” pushed a motorcycle over. “Bro, you’re so cool! I’ll sponsor you a motorcycle. Can you tell me where you got that thing on your back?”
He still thought Chen Xiao’s golden wings were some kind of advanced flying device.
“I made it myself.”
Chen Xiao smiled slightly and waved at the man, a knowing look exchanged between them.
“Thanks, man!”
Chen Xiao mounted the motorcycle, and Li Ziqing, dragging her wedding dress, sat behind him, hugging him tightly and resting her face on his back, filled with happiness.
Vroom vroom vroom—
The motorcycle started, and the two set off, speeding away!
Half an hour later, Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing returned home.
Liu Zhen had already changed into her most festive attire and sat smiling in a chair, waiting for them.
“Chen Xiao, did you tell Mom everything?”
Li Ziqing asked in surprise.
“Of course.”
Chen Xiao nodded, “It’s time to face all of this.”
“Li Ziqing, will you marry me? Will you be faithful to our marriage, in poverty or in wealth, in sickness or in health, until death do us part?”
Li Ziqing hadn’t expected the wedding to start so soon, and Chen Xiao was even acting as the officiant for their own wedding.
“I certainly will!”
Li Ziqing nodded like a pecking chicken, “And you, Chen Xiao? Will you stay with me for a lifetime? A lifetime, mind you!”
“I will!”
Chen Xiao nodded solemnly, then embraced Li Ziqing and kissed her deeply.
After the kiss, Li Ziqing was even more surprised by the next segment.
It was the bowing ceremony!
This wedding was truly a blend of East and West, a perfect combination!
“First bow to heaven!”
“Second bow to earth!”
“Third bow to the elders!”
The two bowed to Liu Zhen, who was seated in her chair.
Liu Zhen’s eyes welled up with tears, almost crying.
Although this was a wedding so simple it lacked guests, it was still a wedding, a unique and moving one!
What made a wedding moving was never the grand occasions or the boisterous rituals.
What made it moving was the ceremony that firmly intertwined the destinies of two people.
From this day forward, they were no longer alone!
Liu Zhen also gave Li Ziqing a red envelope containing ten thousand and one yuan, symbolizing that Li Ziqing was Chen Xiao’s one-in-a-million bride.
“Thank you, Mom!”
Li Ziqing called out sweetly, even though she had already started calling Liu Zhen Mom.
But this time, it was very different.
And from now on, everything would be different.
“Alright, alright, the ceremony is complete. I won’t join in your revelry anymore! My old bones aren’t like you young people; I need to go to sleep when it’s time.”
Saying this, Liu Zhen stood up from her chair and walked towards her room.
“Mom, are you alright?”
Chen Xiao’s heart tightened, and he quickly asked with concern, thinking his mother’s health had deteriorated.
Liu Zhen turned her head and glanced at Chen Xiao, “Silly boy, a thousand gold is worth a moment of spring night. Why aren’t you two hurrying to the bridal chamber!”
