Xiao Yuan's voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
"Zhizhi, will you marry me?" Xiao Yuan pursed his lips after saying the last sentence, and Bai Qingzhi could tell that he seemed very nervous.
He was holding a diamond ring in his hand, the very same one that sold for 12 billion at the previous US auction.
She was surprised. Was Xiao Yuan proposing to her?
I looked up at my family and saw them looking at me with encouraging eyes.
Suddenly, Bai Qingzhi burst out laughing.
Just as Xiao Yuan was filled with apprehension, Bai Qingzhi spoke up.
"I do."
Xiao Yuan grinned excitedly and, with trembling hands, slipped the diamond ring onto Bai Qingzhi's finger.
"Zhizhi, thank you." Xiao Yuan's eyes reddened.
Bai Qingzhi was a little embarrassed, and looked down at the ring on her finger.
She actually accepted his marriage proposal!
The Bai family members also came over at this time. Bai's mother's eyes were also red. She took Bai Qingzhi's hand and patted it with a smile.
Bai's father's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. He first looked at his daughter with affection, then turned to look at Xiao Yuan.
"Although Qingzhi has agreed to your request, it doesn't mean that she will definitely marry you in the end. The next year will be a test, and I hope you will pass it."
Before proposing today, Xiao Yuan had told the Bai family about the plan, and it was only after obtaining their consent that he proceeded with it.
The Bai family has only one requirement: they can propose now, but if you want to get married, you have to wait a year.
This can be considered a test for Xiao Yuan.
In their eyes, Bai Qingzhi was still too young. What if she agreed now and then changed her mind a year later?
They are completely focused on their daughter's happiness.
Bai Qinghuan held Bai Qingzhi's other hand, her eyes were also red.
"My little sister has grown up." Bai Qinghuan ruffled her hair, her voice filled with joy.
In her past life, Qingzhi died in front of her, and the helplessness and heartbreak she felt were unbearable.
She returned in this life, successfully protected Qingzhi, and was able to watch her enter the hall of happiness. Bai Qinghuan felt that she had no regrets.
"Yes, they've grown up and will soon belong to someone else's family." Bai Qingyu's tone was a little sour.
Bai's mother glared at him, then touched Bai Qingzhi's cheek.
“Even if Qingzhi gets married, she will still be a member of the Bai family. If she is ever bullied in the future, you brothers will fight to the death to get revenge for her.”
Mother Bai spoke with unusual seriousness, looking intently at her three sons.
Bai Qinghuai had been silent, but nodded solemnly after hearing his mother's words.
"Xiao Yuan, if you dare to treat Qingzhi badly, our Bai family will fight you to the death."
As the future head of the Bai family, his words carried considerable weight.
Xiao Yuan wasn't angry at being offended; on the contrary, he was happy that the Bai family valued Bai Qingzhi so much.
It's wonderful that so many people like my naivety.
The group walked down the road until they reached the middle of the island, where a house finally appeared.
To be precise, it's like a small vacation villa.
When Bai Qingzhi pushed open the door and went inside, she was surprised to find that the room was filled with her photos, from her eighteenth birthday to the present.
Some of them I don't even remember anymore.
Xiao Yuan had left Bai Qingzhi's side at some point, and by the time she realized what was happening, she saw him returning with a small box.
"Zhizhi, this is a gift for you." Xiao Yuan handed over the box with both hands.
Bai Qingzhi opened it with a smile, and inside was a land deed!
Land title deed for the island.
The purchase was made two years ago.
"I bought this island the moment I got together with you, hoping to propose to you here someday. Thank you for making my dream come true."
This villa was also built two years ago, and Xiao Yuan personally completed the design and decoration of the interior during his spare time.
All of Bai Qingzhi's portraits here were painted by Xiao Yuan himself.
Bai Qingzhi's eyes were a little red, and in her excitement, she hugged Xiao Yuan tightly.
She had no idea that Xiao Yuan had done all this.
Xiao Yuan smiled indulgently and gently reached out to pat her head.
This was also the first time the Bai family had visited this villa. When they saw how much effort Xiao Yuan had put into it, Bai's father's discomfort was somewhat relieved.
The chef was arranged by Xiao Yuan long ago, and the dishes he prepared were naturally those that Bai Qingzhi liked.
After dinner, the Bai family members went to their guest rooms to rest, while Xiao Yuan quietly took Bai Qingzhi out of the room.
Behind the villa, Xiao Yuan built a large seawater hot spring, next to which was a small amusement park.
The design was entirely based on Bai Qingzhi's preferences.
While Bai Qingzhi was immersed in happiness, Xiao Yuan hugged her from behind.
"Please take good care of me in the future, my fiancée." The deep voice sounded in her ear, making Bai Qingzhi blush.
However, she still answered loudly, though shyly:
"Then please take good care of me from now on, my fiancé."
The two smiled at each other, and Xiao Yuan kissed her forehead, his expression suddenly turning serious.
"I have something very important to tell you today."
Although Bai Qingzhi was a little curious, Xiao Yuan had already given her enough surprises today, so she maintained her composure and asked him what it was.
Then she saw Xiao Yuan take a piece of paper out of his pocket.
The four characters for "paternity test" were written clearly in black and white on the paper.
Under Bai Qingzhi's puzzled gaze, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and spoke:
"After discovering that Xiaodie resembles you, I was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would approach you again, so I had someone investigate her."
This investigation raised many questions, the most significant of which concerned Xiaodie's parents.
Their movements before their deaths overlapped with those of Bai's parents, both occurring in the tourist area at the time.
In an instant, an absurd thought arose in Xiao Yuan's mind.
Xiaodie's DNA was found, and when compared with Zhizhi's, the results showed that they were related.
To ensure accuracy, Xiao Yuan took the samples to many developed countries, and only when he obtained the same results did he truly believe it.
Xiao Yuan then had someone thoroughly investigate Xiao Die's family affairs until he had a fairly good understanding of them before deciding to tell Zhi Zhi.
"Xiao Die is your older sister." After Xiao Yuan said this, he saw Bai Qingzhi's expression freeze.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
She had her doubts, but what she knew at the time was that her biological parents had passed away and she had no relatives left.
Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably, and Xiao Yuan frantically wiped them away.
"Brother Yuan, I'm just a little happy." Bai Qingzhi cried and laughed at the same time, gripping Xiao Yuan's hand slightly tighter.
No one knows how she felt when she found out she wasn't the Bai family's biological daughter. At that time, she thought it would be nice to be able to go back to her biological parents.
But when I told her that she was an orphan, my heart sank to the bottom.
