70. Night 70: Marriage
"Lu Xi, he is, you..." Mu Nong's head was buzzing.
The man in front of me had a slender figure, a striking face, and dazzling snow-white hair. He exuded a graceful aura that made people feel an inexplicable desire to submit. It was not because of his beauty, but an indescribable feeling that extended from the blood, as if looking at him for even one more moment would be an offense.
Lu Xi stood up. She had not expected her arrival to be so coincidental. Her eyes flickered as she explained, "It was all an accident. Don't misunderstand me."
Mu Nong stared at her, as if to say, "Do you think I'm a fool, or do you think the two equally stunned handsome guys next to me are fools?"
"How come you are so fast?" Lu Xi said again.
"Yes, if the boss is willing to release me, I will come right over."
So, I happened to see this scene.
Mu Nong pulled Lu Xi aside and asked her quietly, "What's wrong with you? Where did you find this handsome guy?"
Lu Xi didn't know how to explain it. Did they really have nothing to do with each other? But in another world, they were a close couple again.
"We... met during the mission."
Mu Nong thought Lu Xi was referring to meeting this clergyman on a mission in another world, but it turned out that he was a colleague.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Which department is he from?"
Lu Xi knew she had misunderstood, "He is..."
"Uncle." Suddenly a male voice came from somewhere else.
Their eyes focused on the source of the male voice, and an equally handsome man walked over, holding two cups of coffee in his hands.
Seeing him appear, Mu Nong's eyes lit up, while the two handsome guys behind her suddenly froze in expression. "It's Zhong Ting's CEO."
"What?" Mu Nong was also shocked when he heard that.
She must have heard it right. The two handsome guys said he was the president of Zhongting, but the man just now seemed to have called him uncle.
Mu Nong looked at the man next to Lu Xi, and was so frightened that he couldn't even speak straight. "Lu Lu Lu... Lu Xi, then he... he is..."
Lu Xi's eyelids twitched, not knowing whether to say it or not.
"Uncle is the highest leader of Shangting." Qi Tang said for her.
Mu Nong: Haha, just kill me.
So during the coffee time, except for Qi Shi, Qi Tang and Lu Xi, everyone sat upright and didn't dare to move at all.
In fact, there is very little information and photos about Qi Shi on the Internet. In addition, unlike some world leaders who often appear on TV and the Internet, he never tries to make his presence felt. It is normal that he was not recognized. The key is who would think that such a person would suddenly appear in front of them.
Qi Shi raised his noble elbow and supported his face on one side, his eyes lazy but sharp, "Why did you come out to drink coffee together?"
"I just want to kill some time." Mu Nong forced a smile.
"Yeah, there's no other meaning." The handsome guys agreed.
"Really?" He took a sip of coffee, and the dark brown stains wet his lips. He licked them, "Don't you want to have a boyfriend or girlfriend?"
"Of course not." They shook their heads rapidly.
The two handsome guys were about to cry in their hearts. They really wanted to be single, and they came just because a beautiful girl asked them out. Who knew that the date was a slut?
"Qi Shi, you scared them." Lu Xi said.
"Uncle, are you very familiar with Miss Lu?" Qi Tang asked the question that everyone wanted to know, and immediately, several pairs of eyes were staring at him.
Qi Shi's eyes fell on Lu Xi's face. She was also looking up at him. He put his arm around her shoulders and said, "She is my fiancée."
"Fiancée?" Everyone present was shocked.
Lu Xi was also shocked. What nonsense was he talking about?
"Qi Shi, we just met."
Lu Xi tried to clarify the relationship, but she didn't know that when they heard her calling his name directly, their hearts trembled.
"We just met." Staring at her lively facial features, every stroke seemed to be drawn specially for him, deeply engraved in his heart.
His slender hands held her face, and his fingertips gently stroked her lips that had just been kissed red. "Oh, do you believe it?"
They shook their heads like rattles, and no one would believe that they kissed.
Qi Shi looked at the frowning Lu Xi. He knew that his feelings were too sudden for her, but for him, this feeling had been suppressed for long enough, so long that even though he usually had amazing self-control, he couldn't control it.
But it doesn't matter, he will wait until she accepts it.
"Uncle, are you serious?" Qi Tang was extremely surprised.
Because his uncle is highly favored by God, he has never been interested in love affairs, and the family has planned that he will never marry.
"Um."
"That's great, Grandpa will definitely be very happy."
Lu Xi pulled his sleeve and pleaded in a low voice, "Qi Shi, explain it to them clearly. I know your feelings, but..."
But to her, they really had just met.
"We've known each other for such a short time."
"Eighty years, is that short?" He looked deep.
Lu Xi was speechless. He did include the time of the mission in the calculation, but this was wrong because they were not the same face.
"Or, four hundred and seventy-five years." He leaned against her ear and gritted his teeth, "How long do you want me to wait, Lu Xi?"
Seeing the emotions surging in his eyes like a flood, Lu Xi'er trembled violently and did not insist on explaining anymore.
It was not until she finished her coffee and went back to bed that Lu Xi regretted that she should have made it clear to them that she was really not their fiancée.
But she suddenly thought, if she rejected him, who would she want to be with? Would she want him to marry someone else?
The merman loved her deeply, was crazy about her all his life, and ended his life by suicide, which undoubtedly hurt her heart. But his soul was still alive, that is Qi Shi. There was nothing she could gain from him. In terms of appearance, money and even status, he was ten thousand times better than her.
It felt like a dream that someone like that actually liked her.
She checked WeChat and saw a bunch of messages from Mu Nong, all asking about what happened today. She sighed inwardly with a headache.
After replying to her, he looked at an avatar, was silent for a long time, typed a few words, deleted them, typed a few more words, and sent them.
[Qi Shi, are you serious? ]
Not long after, the other end replied.
If you want, you can have the wedding tomorrow.
Lu Xi's breath was choked.
No, I refuse.
She knew he was joking, but she dared to say that if she really agreed, he would probably actually hold a wedding tomorrow.
【Lu Xi, let’s get married. 】
Lu Xi was silent, not knowing how to reply to him.
[Miss Lu Xi.] He typed four more words. Seeing these four words, Lu Xi's heart almost broke. It was as if she could hear the voice of the mermaid in her ears, his beautiful voice, gently calling her in her ear.
She actually had a good impression of Qi Shi. This good impression might have come from the mermaid, or it might have come from his infatuation.
If you need time, I'll give you a year.
【A year later, we held our wedding.】
This was more of an order than a request for opinion. Even if Lu Xi didn't want to, he wouldn't let her be with anyone else.
Life is so mysterious. The moment before, Lu Xi was still considering whether to open a small flower shop after retirement, or find an easy job to live a leisurely life. Unexpectedly, she is now troubled by being pursued so fiercely by someone.
Later, Qi Shi would always break into her life from time to time. The man who should have been the center of attention would accompany her to look at the store, accompany her to choose flowers, accompany her to open the store, and even use the divine power given to him by God to arrange a meteor shower in the sky, just because of something she said casually.
"Qi Shi, am I really that good?" She sometimes doubted whether she was really worthy of this person's love. She thought she was very ordinary, and the only thing worth bragging about was being chosen as a clergyman.
"I love you, no matter how good you are."
To put it simply and bluntly, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
Lu Xi sighed, wondering how she could have deserved this.
A year later, the Qi family held a shocking wedding of the century. The protagonist of the wedding was the man who stood at the top of the priesthood, and his bride was also a clergyman. Their love was written into a book, and many years later, many young people still talked about it with relish.
It is said that on the night their son was born, the holy light illuminated the hospital as bright as day, and the child was blessed by God.
