Xu Nuo had just taken a bite of a chicken wing when she heard this and turned to look at him.
Li Xian sat upright, breathing heavily, his cold expression looking very serious.
It felt as if the place before me was not a delicious meal, but a solemn and dignified Great Hall of the People.
Xu Nuo licked her lips and secretly glanced at his hand.
Li Xian has a habit, a habit that he himself may not even be aware of.
His hands tend to shake when he's nervous.
Sure enough, Xu Nuo saw that his hand, which was placed at his side, was clenched into a fist and was trembling slightly at a very regular frequency.
Xu Nuo secretly chuckled to herself, her lips curving into a wide smile. She quietly suppressed it and deliberately said, "You really want to marry me that much?"
Li Xian looked at her earnestly, his eyes filled with sincerity and eagerness, and nodded honestly.
"Nuonuo, I want to."
Being treated like this by the person she liked made Xu Nuo feel secretly delighted, but she still deliberately pouted and asked in a coquettish voice, "What benefits will I get?"
It was just a girl's sentimental musings, something she said casually, but unexpectedly, Li Xianzhen stood up and went to the desk in the study to get a document.
Li Xian handed the document to her.
Xu Nuo curiously took it back.
Could it be a marriage application or a marriage proposal report?
I once read a novel where the male protagonist wrote a marriage guarantee, promising to split household chores in half and hand over his earnings to his wife after marriage.
Could it be that Li Xian also wrote her a marriage proposal guarantee?
Xu Nuo wondered what sweet words Li Xian, this blockhead, could possibly write for her.
Upon seeing the contents, Xu Nuo was greatly surprised.
The large black label above read: Equity Transfer Agreement.
Zhongxu Group?
Li Xian transferred it to her?
Xu Nuo quickly flipped to the last page and found that both parties' names were signed, along with their fingerprints and an official seal.
When did she sign the share transfer agreement?
Xu Nuo asked in surprise, "When did I sign this? I have no recollection of it at all."
Speaking of this, Li Xian helplessly picked her up and placed her on his lap, pinched her cheek, and sighed, "Last time."
Last time, Li Xian had intended to keep it a secret and try to distract Xu Nuo by doing something else, but she turned to the last page and signed her name without even looking at it.
Li Xian was both amused and annoyed, and couldn't help but scold him: "You signed without reading the contract."
Xu Nuo didn't actually read the content; there was just too much text at the beginning, and she didn't have the patience for it.
Moreover, the contract was given by Li Xian, so she didn't need to be wary at all.
Even if Li Xian gets himself into trouble, he would never get her into trouble.
She retorted dismissively, "That's because you made me sign it. You wouldn't cheat me."
Despite his confident and self-righteous tone, Li Xian felt a surge of emotion welling up inside him.
He straightened the person and nodded: "Yes, no."
Those dark, inky eyes stared intently at her.
His hand, which was holding her arm, trembled slightly.
There were some things that Li Xian had kept in his heart for a long time.
I didn't say it at first because I couldn't say it.
People all view the world through a lens of color.
When Li Xian was a bad element, everyone hated and humiliated him, fearing to get involved with him and bring shame upon themselves.
He was self-aware and couldn't bear to see Nuo suffer because of him.
So he was willing to hide in the shadows, waiting for the day when he could wash away the filth and stand cleanly beside her.
Originally, Li Xian wanted to wait until he got past Xu Jinan and Xue Ping before finding a suitable opportunity.
But today, Xu Nuo kept pestering him to tell him, and he couldn't hold back any longer.
I don't want to put up with it anymore.
His voice was naturally cold and deep, always carrying a sense of distance, but when he spoke to Xu Nuo, his tone was completely suppressed by emotion.
“Apart from William’s seventeen percent and the five percent I gave to Uncle Liu, the remaining seventy-eight percent is all yours.”
He spoke of an entire company's equity, a lifetime of hard work, with nonchalant ease, as if giving her only a bowl of noodles and a piece of bread.
Xu Nuo was fully aware of the current state of the Zhongxu Group and its future development, which further shocked him.
At the gala at Shanghai University, Li Xian did say that she was the founder of Zhongxu and the highest shareholder, but no one took it seriously. Even Xu Nuo didn't take it seriously, thinking that Li Xian was just promoting her.
Unexpectedly, Li Xian actually transferred all of Zhong Xu's shares to her.
Xu Nuo couldn't help but say, "Li Xian, are you a complete idiot? You're transferring the shares to me, what if... what if you regret it?"
"And what if I'm a bad woman, and I don't want you anymore, so I kick you aside and keep you all to myself..."
Li Xian covered her mouth and shook his head: "No, I won't regret it, and you won't do that either."
He was certain: "We will love each other for a lifetime and grow old together."
Li Xian suffered hardship along with his parents from birth.
He witnessed his parents' suffering when he was young, and he felt resentful and confused, not understanding why God treated them this way.
As I grew older, everything became numb.
Numbly accepting insults, numbly ignoring the scorn of others, numbly starving, numbly living, and numbly waiting for death.
After his parents passed away, he became even more fearless.
The reason they dared to enter the black market was that they no longer valued their own lives.
How he died or when he died didn't make much difference to him.
Until he met Xu Nuo.
Someone like her, dressed neatly and smiling innocently, seemed to belong to a completely different world from him.
But she gave him a piece of candy, which was very sweet.
It was a sweet memory he would cherish for a lifetime.
She neither loathed him nor looked down on him, nor did she refer to him as a "bastard" or a "black element."
She called his name in her sweet, soft voice.
She would never know that he, who had been celibate for twenty-five years, dreamed of her one day after sending her to Youlongtan.
Li Xian had no desires to begin with, but afterwards, he developed a longing he dared not express.
No matter the cost, he wanted to be with her.
His voice was hoarse: "I'll give you everything, including myself, just a home, and yours."
His eyebrows and eyes lowered slightly, with a hint of red at the corners of his eyes: "Nuonuo, I lost my home when I was thirteen. Please take me home."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nuo couldn't help but cry. At first, her eyes just reddened, but later tears fell like beads from a broken string.
In that instant, many things came to mind.
Knowing that Li Xian was the male lead, she prejudicially assumed he was omnipotent. Even when he was poor and destitute, she never thought about what he had experienced in the past, only what he would gain in the future.
He was cold and taciturn because he had suffered scorn and humiliation since childhood. He had no one to talk to, so he could only learn to ignore everything around him.
Just thinking about it makes Xu Nuo's heart ache terribly.
Li Xian hadn't expected her to cry like this. Thinking he had frightened her by being too hasty, he hurriedly hugged her and tried to comfort her, saying, "It's my fault, I'm sorry. It was so sudden, wasn't it? It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I can wait..."
Xu Nuo choked back tears and pushed him, "Go and get the ring."
