Chapter 169 Ceremony

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like thunderclap out of the blue, exploding in the hearts of several men.

Zongfang's ears began to ring, and he frowned, suspecting he had misheard. His previously indifferent attitude suddenly turned into a leaning forward, and he questioned Liberi, "Say it again?"

"I said, I will marry Sui Sui." Liberi said word by word.

Carl laughed in disbelief, while Sang Yan was surprised and a little stunned.

Only Luka remained sitting upright, legs crossed, silent.

Zong Fang's chest was heaving. He turned his head and held her hand, gritted his teeth and asked, "I want you to say it yourself. Do you agree?"

There were complicated emotions in Qiao Susu's eyes, but this time, she was not panicked or guilty, but nodded frankly.

Liberi stood up and announced to everyone: "Yes, Sui Sui has agreed to become my queen, and Oslan will be hers from now on."

Qiao Susu frowned in confusion, she had never heard of the second half of the sentence.

Liberi walked up to her, took her hand, and kissed it softly on his lips: "From the day I decided to conquer Osland, that was when I started preparing to give you this gift."

Qiao Suisui listened to him in surprise. "The initially turbulent situation in the Oslan Empire has now been fully stabilized by me. You don't need to worry too much from now on. Just do what you want to do. Suisui, do you remember what you said when I wanted to give up everything here and take you away? Now I have fulfilled it."

She looked at Liberi's excited eyes and was a little dazed.

At that time, she had just escaped from Zongfang, and she said at that time -

"What I want is a stable and safe life. Ash, thank you so much, but I don't want to live a life of hiding from others, and I shouldn't live that kind of life."

It turned out to be like this. Surprisingly, a seed was planted in Liberi's heart because of what I said at that time.

"You thought I was not strong enough to protect you. Now I have done all of this." Liberi showed a smile that had not been seen on his face for a long time. That smile suddenly reminded Qiao Susu of the elegant and romantic man she first met at Legault Palace.

The mixture of power, time and emotions changed him a lot.

Qiao Susu was filled with emotion.

She gently pulled her hand away and stated her decision: "Ash, I want to have a ceremony for five people."

Upon hearing this, Liberi's smile froze on his face.

Surprise flashed across Luka's eyes as he looked at her: "Sui Sui, are you saying that you and the four of us will get married together?"

Zongfang still had a gloomy face, but the murderous intent around him was visibly reduced by half.

Carl blinked three times a second, pointed at himself and asked, "Let me confirm, my name should be among these four people, right?"

Qiao Sui Sui glared at him amusedly and said, "Without you, the fourth person is A Yao."

When Karl heard the name 'Ayao', he knew he was in the bag. He immediately grinned like he was free and said stickyly, "Okay, I have to practice these next few days. I've gained some weight."

Libery held his forehead patiently. He tried to reason with Qiao Suisui, but she interrupted him first: "Ash, do you want to keep dragging them along?"

Suddenly, Liberi's face turned pale.

"I'm Sui Sui, I was just..."

"You don't have to explain."

Qiao Susu smiled faintly. In fact, what Libery said hit her sore spot. It seemed that she was being manipulated, but in fact, she was really starting to think about getting married.

It was precisely because of his words that she realized that she had been subconsciously repeating the same pattern from her childhood: when she encountered warmth and love, her first reaction was not to embrace them joyfully, but to feel uneasy, afraid that she would one day lose them. Until she finally pushed the person who loved her away, she felt sad but also relieved, and would comfort herself by saying: See, they will leave after all.

Ultimately, it was a belief that she had been subconsciously playing out, a belief that she herself was not aware of - I don't believe that I will be loved.

So she never faced up to her feelings for them, because if she admitted that they were important to her, she would start to fear losing them and then repeat the familiar pain.

But Luka's unwavering waiting, Anubis's assurance, Zongfang's reluctance to let her get pregnant again, Carl's absolute gentlemanliness in her wishes, and even the pressure Liberi put on her because he wanted her, all made her extremely sure -

They loved her, and she deserved it.

Maybe it was because of the advantages given to her by the childbearing system in the beginning, but she has been trying to be independent in this world without relying on the system, to have her own source of income, to learn to control her mental power, to establish her own organization, and to investigate the truth about the rebels. Each and every one of them is the path she has taken step by step.

Whether their love will always be there or not, she is still her.

It is Qiao Susu who can find a way to survive no matter what the environment.

"If you don't want to, then let's put this matter aside for now." She picked up the teacup and took a sip, saying lightly.

"Who said I don't want to?" Carl sat up straight and said, "I do. If they don't want to, they can just marry me."

"I do." Luka looked at her, his eyes gentle and reserved, filled with indescribable emotion. Those three steady words, like a thousand pounds of weight, settled firmly on Qiao Suisui's heart.

She looked at Zongfang and asked, "What about you?"

Zong Fang looked back at her for a long time, sighed, and then whispered in her ear: "Qiao Qiao, you obviously know it."

He had already surrendered his love for her.

Qiao Suisui smiled knowingly, then looked at Liberi and said, deliberately irritating him, "Then I'll have to trouble Ash to help everyone prepare." Then she looked at Sang Yan, who was in a daze, and said, "Since you're here so rarely, why not invite Gai Meilun and A Yao to join me in my marriage ceremony?"

Sang Yan's expression froze for a moment, then he nodded and forced a smile, his dark pupils filled with a desolate blessing: "Okay, I'll definitely be there."

Libery's eyes had turned red without him noticing. He stared at her, his eyes filled with a thick, inextricable feeling of helplessness. It was like a punch on cotton, and the cotton was wrapped around it.

Qiao Suisui glanced at him and deliberately retaliated, "If you don't want to, then let's hold it for four people this time."

He felt his chest was extremely stuffy, completely blocked by the three words "Qiao Sui Sui".

Liberi swallowed the bitterness in his mouth, as if he was swallowing strong love and unwillingness at the same time. At this moment, he loved her as much as he hated her, hated her for being cruel to him.

When the man spoke again, his voice was trembling slightly: "Okay, I'll do it." After saying that, he could no longer hold back his tears, and he turned his head and strode away in a disguising manner.

Luka stroked her hair and comforted her, "Don't worry too much. Do you want me to talk to him?"

Qiao Suisui smiled and said, "I'm not worried. You'll know tonight."

That night.

The guards of the imperial court, the servants coming and going, and the people coming and going all witnessed with their own eyes that outside the door of Qiao Susu's palace, the Sun of the Oslan Empire, who was famous for manipulating people's hearts, was now kneeling on the ground drunkenly and knocking on the door like a man from an ordinary family.

According to word of mouth from the guards on duty that night, Miss Qiao even locked the outer hall door. Yang Yang started talking non-stop, even crying, and then someone inside said, "I want to sleep," and he didn't dare knock on the door again. He just sat outside the hall door, keeping watch all night.
