Chapter 504 Have you considered it?
Nie Yao didn't think having a soft spot was a weakness. She spoke slowly and seriously, "Mr. Li, we are complete as human beings because we have seven emotions and six desires!"
Li Yaofeng originally wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back, shook his head and laughed softly.
"Ms. Nie, you are an interesting person. I was always worried about what kind of partner Jinxing would choose, but now that I see you, I feel relieved..."
Nie Yao's lips curled up slightly as she replied with a smile, "I'm very happy that you recognize me so much!"
"So Miss Nie doesn't mind my previous prejudiced remarks against you?" Li Yaofeng asked tentatively.
"I don't mind, because Mr. Li didn't understand me at that time..." Nie Yao smiled faintly, shook her head and answered calmly: "A person can pretend for a while, but not forever. You misunderstood me at that time, and I also believe that time will tell you the answer!"
Looking at her frank and bright smile, Li Yaofeng couldn't help but clap his hands and smile, nodded in agreement and said: "Miss Nie is very clear-headed, which makes me feel ashamed of myself!"
He paused here, then asked with a smile, "So I wonder if Miss Nie has considered my previous proposal?"
Nie Yao was stunned for a moment, then met his sincere gaze and asked hesitantly, "Are you talking about getting me engaged to Li Jinxing?"
"That's right!" Li Yaofeng nodded and replied with a smile, "That's it!"
Nie Yao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Actually, ever since Mr. Li proposed this to me, I've been thinking about this..."
Li Yaofeng was not surprised to hear her answer. Even though Nie Yao had a different personality from other rich daughters, he believed that Li Jinxing was so outstanding that there was no reason for Nie Yao not to marry him!
"I understand Mr. Li's good intentions, and I don't want to keep refusing and make you feel like I'm deliberately taking advantage of him. But I want to ask you, Mr. Li, is it because of the heirloom that you're asking so urgently?"
Nie Yao looked at the suddenly stiff smile on Li Yaofeng's face and knew that he seemed a little angry, but she continued, "Mr. Li, I don't think that the engagement will hinder my determination to go to Egypt with Li Jinxing!"
"Miss Nie!"
Li Yaofeng frowned slightly, interrupted Nie Yao directly, and his tone became a little stiff.
"I know your ambition is archaeology. I won't stop you. Everyone has their own aspirations. Besides, your adoptive father is a famous archaeologist himself!"
He sighed softly and said in a deep voice, "But Li Jinxing already had an accident there. I don't want him to set foot on that land again, nor do I want to see him encounter any danger there! Even though you like archaeology, there's no need to drag him along..."
Nie Yao laughed dumbly, shook her head, and replied, "Mr. Li, you misunderstood. This time we are going to Egypt not for my archaeological work, but to explore the secret of your Li family's heirloom!"
"A heirloom is a heirloom, what secret is there?" Li Yaofeng didn't quite believe her explanation and retorted unhappily.
"Mr. Li, I don't want to bring up the sad story of you and Li Jinxing, but haven't you ever thought that the death of your and Li Jinxing's parents might have been related to this heirloom?"
Nie Yao's questioning made Li Yaofeng subconsciously tighten the armrests of his wheelchair, and his expression gradually became gloomy.
