Chapter 479 The Proposal Is Not Simple
As Li Jinxing spoke, he fell into fond memories of the past: "When we were tired, we would lie on the grass and look at the stars and the moon, and sometimes catch a few crickets... There was also a hill that was built for playing golf, but it has not been used since then..."
Because his eldest brother had difficulty walking, any hilly place was abandoned. He also asked the housekeeper to work hard to transform the manor into a flat ground to make it easier for his eldest brother to move around in his wheelchair.
"That's wonderful..." Nie Yao sighed with envy. She looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said with a smile, "I only remember traveling all over the country with my adoptive father. I was very timid at that time. I would think there was a ghost when I heard any noise..."
"As a result, your courage has grown with experience!" Li Jinxing pinched the tip of her nose and joked with amusement.
"Yeah, it's all learned through practice. I can even look at corpses without blinking!" Nie Yao nodded slightly and said self-deprecatingly, "Like I told you before, I might prefer dealing with mummies rather than living people!"
Li Jinxing let out a low laugh and pulled her into his arms, smiling as he said, "It's okay. You don't need to learn how to interact with so many people. You're fine the way you are now..."
"But if I become your wife in the future, I will have to get used to it..."
Nie Yao sighed softly, raised her head and looked at him, hesitantly saying, "Li Jinxing, what do you think I should say to your elder brother? He seems to really want us to hold the engagement ceremony here..."
Li Jinxing was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Brother, you suddenly proposed this, probably to make us forget about returning the heirloom to the Egyptian authorities!"
Nie Yao was stunned when she heard him say that. She looked up at him and asked in surprise, "Are you saying that your eldest brother's proposal has more than just a simple purpose?"
"Otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious..." Li Jinxing responded softly, lowered his head and smiled apologetically at Nie Yao, and said: "Yaoyao, I don't mean that Big Brother doesn't approve of you, but he suddenly brought up this matter now, it's very likely that he wants to stop us from going to Egypt!"
They have been brothers for many years, and how could he not guess the motives of his elder brother when he made such a decision?
Nie Yao nodded in agreement when she heard Li Jinxing say this, and murmured softly, "No wonder I felt your eldest brother was so anxious about this proposal. Turns out it's all about the heirloom..."
"It seems that changing Big Brother's mind isn't easy..." Li Jinxing sighed softly, his thick brows knitted together. "Unfortunately, we were drugged. When we came back, Big Brother had already taken the briefcase containing the heirloom. When I woke up, I had already searched everywhere I could, but I still haven't found where Big Brother hid the heirloom!"
"Even if you find it, you can't leave with the heirloom without telling him like you did last time!" Nie Yao reminded with a smile.
Seeing Li Jinxing's noncommittal smile, Nie Yao grabbed his arm and advised him earnestly, "Li Jinxing, you and your elder brother have finally reconciled, you can't let the heirloom cause discord between you two!"
Li Jinxing lowered his head to meet Nie Yao's bright eyes, patted the back of her hand, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we brothers have been arguing since we were young, but we've never really fallen out!"
"It's not easy for your elder brother either..." Nie Yao sighed softly.
