"Will you marry me?"
Hearing these words, Li Ziqing immediately covered her mouth, trembling with excitement.
She had imagined this scene countless times, and had prepared for it countless times.
But when it truly arrived, Li Ziqing still couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably with excitement.
Although this proposal had no flowers, no diamond rings, and no other props related to proposals.
But were those important to Li Ziqing?
The answer was clearly no, nothing at all was important.
The only important thing was the person proposing.
As long as the person proposing was right, then all the flashy things became less important.
"Will you?"
Li Ziqing was so excited that she couldn't speak for over thirty seconds, and even forgot to say the most important "three words."
Chen Xiao, who had been full of confidence, suddenly became nervous when Li Ziqing didn't say those "three words."
Would she be unhappy with this spur-of-the-moment proposal?
Chen Xiao, who had always been confident, was now having second thoughts, which was why he asked again.
Li Ziqing also came back to her senses at this moment and hurriedly said, "I will, I will!"
Her tone suggested that she couldn't wait to get her marriage certificate with Chen Xiao right then and there.
"When I return from the Immortal Hidden Realm, we'll get married!"
A great event was thus decided. It seemed as casual as playing around, but both Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing knew that it was very serious.
After it was decided, 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 have time, come to the ancestral home."
"I'm at work, delivering takeout!"
A hurried voice came from the other end of the phone, "Are you at Uncle's place? What's so urgent?"
Li Zigang did not yet know about the death of their third uncle, Li Dahai.
Li Ziqing said, "I'm getting married, and I want you and Uncle to be witnesses."
"Ah? Wait for me, I'll bring my dad over now!"
Li Zigang hung up the phone in a hurry. Thirty minutes later, Li Zigang, along with his father, Li Dashan, arrived at the Li family's ancestral home.
The father and son were dressed immaculately. They thought Li Ziqing was getting married today, but only realized 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 had been talking to Li Ziqing in the hall for a long time but hadn't seen anyone from his third brother's family. He couldn't help but wonder if it was appropriate for the third branch to not have anyone present for such an important event.
"I don't have a third uncle."
Li Ziqing shook her head and said indifferently.
Li Dashan and Li Zigang exchanged glances. Hearing Li Ziqing's words, it was clear that she hadn't forgiven Li Dahai. Then why was she here? This was Li Dahai's home!
"Li Dahai's family is already dead."
Li Ziqing said lightly.
Li Dashan's eyes widened, and Li Zigang was also extremely shocked.
Suddenly, the father and son thought of something, but dared not ask.
"By the way, except for the Song family, all of the five great families are dead."
With a light tone, Li Ziqing revealed another bombshell.
In fact, even if she didn't say it now, this news would soon spread throughout the Imperial City.
Li Dashan and his son were completely dumbfounded.
They knew that Li Ziqing had returned for revenge. They had not expected that Li Ziqing would actually succeed, and in such a short period of time, it was like a landslide.
After a while, Li Dashan finally recovered from his shock, and with a smile of pride and heartache, he said, "Ziqing, you are indeed your father's child, surpassing the master. You've achieved what your father couldn't."
Li Ziqing smiled wryly and shook her head, "I wish I hadn't done all this, and that they were still by my side. If I had a choice, I would want to be born into an ordinary family and live a life that, though plain, was 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 could not live like an ordinary person."
Chen Xiao was still considering when it would be appropriate to tell Li Ziqing about her being a descendant of the Eternal Immortal Emperor.
Or, it wouldn't be too late to tell her after uncovering all the secrets of the runes within her.
"Uncle, Brother, I won't be living in the Imperial City long-term from now on, so you two should move to the ancestral home."
Li Ziqing said.
"Okay, I'll move here with Gangzi another day."
Li Dashan did not refuse and agreed immediately.
Although he did not have deep feelings for this ancestral home, after all, his second brother had redeemed it when he was already married.
But this was, after all, the ancestral home of the Li family, the resting place for the souls of the Li family's ancestors. As the eldest son of the Li family, he should guard it here.
"Brother, you don't need to deliver takeout anymore. My company will be opening in the Imperial City soon. At that time, you can come to the company to help. You can be a vice president first, how about it?"
Li Ziqing arranged it with the demeanor of a domineering CEO.
"No, no, how can I be a vice president?"
Li Zigang quickly waved his hand, "Ziqing, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm really not cut out for it. I don't even know what your company does, how can I be a vice president right away!"
"Our company is involved in many industries. To put it simply, whatever you know how to do, we can do. You like delivering takeout, right? Then we'll create a takeout platform, and you'll be in charge."
Li Ziqing said calmly.
"..."
Li Zigang was speechless. This sister was too overbearing!
"Heh heh, Gangzi, just agree to Ziqing. Be bold and go for it!"
Li Dashan saw that Li Ziqing wanted Li Zigang to shoulder the Li family's banner in the Imperial City.
This was not an easy task for his honest and kind son.
But it was also an opportunity, better than delivering takeout for a lifetime!
"Alright then, Brother agrees. I'll do my best!"
Li Zigang said, clenching his fist.
"Okay, go for it, Brother, I believe in you!"
Li Ziqing smiled sweetly.
In fact, Li Zigang didn't need to do anything. She never intended for Li Zigang to shoulder any great responsibility.
She would send a professional team to manage the company. The reason she asked Li Zigang to be vice president was merely to provide them with some economic assistance indirectly.
After settling these matters, Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing planned to return to Jiangcheng.
They had to tell Liu Zhen about the wedding. Their mother would surely be very happy to hear this good news!
