Mingzhao's eyes revealed helplessness, but he was unwilling to give up even the slightest chance to get closer to Qiao Zhen. "If you marry me, I'll arrange a marriage between you and the Heavenly Emperor, how about it?"
Qiao Zhen's gaze toward Ming Zhao instantly turned serious. Anyone who could arrange a match between his wife and the Heavenly Emperor must be of high rank and great power. But as far as she knew, there was only one general in the Heavenly Realm who was young, of high rank and great power, and single. But that general was not as devastatingly handsome as Ming Zhao!
The appearance in the world of tribulation is directly proportional to the appearance in reality, so Mingzhao's identity is truly shrouded in mystery. Qiao Zhen repeatedly overturned her speculations about Mingzhao's identity, but there were simply no clues.
Mingzhao winked at Qiao Zhen, her eyes sparkling, "Don't you want to think about it?"
"No way. I'm a second-generation ancient god. Be careful, or I might bully you, you know?" Qiao Zhen took the cotton swab from Ming Zhao's hand and gently applied it to her bruises.
Mingzhao knew she couldn't be too eager for quick success, so she wisely skipped the topic.
As it turned out, Qiao Zhen's understanding of Ming Zhao was quite accurate. That very night, Ming Zhao forcefully disposed of Grandpa Qiao, Grandma Qiao, and Uncle Qiao's family. She also deposited 700,000 yuan in the bank and transferred 2,000 yuan to Grandpa Qiao's account every month, which would amount to roughly 30 years of support.
As for any serious illness, they would need to bring a hospital certificate, and Mingzhao would need to send someone to take them to a major hospital for examination, and then provide financial assistance.
Otherwise, with their frequent illnesses, big and small, even mountains of gold and silver would be depleted.
After dealing with the troublesome matter here, Ming's mother and Qiao's mother quickly became best friends.
Qiao Zhen and Ming Zhao's wedding date was also put on the agenda, but Qiao Zhen was nervous. This was a vacation world, not reality. If she married Ming Zhao and things progressed in a substantial way, their relationship would be clearly defined, and they would have different definitions of each other's status in their hearts.
Recently, Qiao Zhen has been somewhat restless, which is evident from her design drafts. Qiao Zhen sprawled on the Ming family's sofa, holding paper, pen, and drawing board in her hands. Although she already had a rough idea in her mind, the idea vanished as soon as she put pen to paper.
Qiao Zhen slammed her easel on the sofa, wincing and scratching her head, "Ah—!" she wailed, "It hurts so much!"
Mingzhao immediately put down his work and went over to take the drawing board from the sofa and the pen from Qiao Zhen's hand, afraid that she might accidentally poke herself with the pen. "What's wrong? If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. I, Mingzhao, am worth hundreds of millions. Can't I afford to support a little dog?"
Qiao Zhen pressed Ming Zhao down on the sofa, picked up a soft cushion and pressed it against his face, "You're the pig! The dumbest pig! I don't need you to support me!"
Mingzhao could also sense Qiaozhen's recent irritability, like she was having her period. Women, you know, always have that fake period every month. "Okay, okay, let Juju (piggy) take care of me, Juju is the best."
Qiao Zhen suddenly seemed to release all her strength. She let out a breath and slumped onto the sofa. "Tell me, why should I marry you?"
Mingzhao took this question very seriously. He looked earnest and said, "Because we live in the secular world, and we need to establish a relationship, isn't marriage the most stable option?"
Qiao Zhen then raised another question, "Why should I commit to a relationship with you? Is it because you like me? Or is it because of our friendship from previous worlds?" She pondered deeply, "I think liking someone and being together are two different things. Liking someone is beautiful, but being together involves many problems. Those problems might erode our feelings for each other, leaving nothing beautiful in the end. Wouldn't we be wasting our time, our youth, and our feelings now?"
Mingzhao raised her hand and ruffled her hair. "What are you thinking about? Even if there's a problem, I'll take the blame. You just need to bully me."
Qiao Zhen hugged the cushion. "That's not necessarily true. Think about it, you hold a high position and great power. If I were to lead you astray, the Heavenly Emperor would definitely punish me! In any case, you wouldn't be the one who suffers the most. Taibai is a messenger for the Heavenly Emperor, and Taibai is taking such good care of you, which shows how much the Heavenly Emperor values you." A thought flashed through her mind. "You... you're not the Heavenly Emperor, are you?"
“No,” Mingzhao answered crisply.
Qiao Zhenshu breathed a sigh of relief, "I also think you couldn't be. You were so troublesome in the previous worlds, causing all sorts of trouble. At most, you'd just be cannon fodder."
Mingzhao felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart, stabbing him deeply. "Wasn't I in such a miserable state because I was undergoing tribulation? The Heavenly Emperor values me, so I naturally have real abilities."
"Why are you taking advantage of this?" Qiao Zhen frowned at Ming Zhao, finding fault with everything about him. "I was just speculating about your identity, not telling you to boast!"
Mingzhao, who wanted a wife, could only submit to Qiao Zhen's tyranny. "Okay, then, has the clever Juju guessed my identity?"
Qiao Zhen, her mind a complete mess, fell silent. After a long while, she finally said angrily, "You're a pig!"
Mingzhao clapped enthusiastically, exclaiming in amazement, "Wow—Juju is amazing!"
Qiao Zhen died.
This man truly spoils her to the core, blindly agreeing with any of her opinions.
But Qiao Zhen's irritability did not improve significantly; instead, it became more and more serious over time. Specifically, she began to avoid Ming Zhao, avoid topics about their marriage from both Qiao's mother and Ming's mother, and even made excuses not to return to Jia Yuan.
Qiao Zhen thinks she's probably suffering from "meeting-in-person anxiety" right now? The unexpected meeting made her feel very guilty.
