Book 7: Chapter 2: The Careless Luo Li
Luo Lis 18th Birthday:
When Luo Li turned 18, Chen Heng organized a birthday gathering for her. Well, it was more of a birthday party with just the two of them.
It was not that Luo Li and Chen Heng had poor social skills and were utterly incapable of making friends; rather, it was Luo Lis specific request. She made it clear to Chen Heng before her 18th birthday that she didnt want anyone else around, just like on her 17th birthday. Back then, her relationships with others werent that great, and she preferred it to be only her and Chen Heng. At that time, Luo Li had been rescued by the Special Affairs Bureau, or more accurately, by Chen Heng, just three months before. Aside from Chen Heng, she didnt really care much for anyone, including Mo Qingtongor especially Mo Qingtong.
Even when Luo Li turned 18, she and Mo Qingtong didnt get along at all.
Elder Brother, will you ever leave me? After blowing out the candles on her birthday cake, Luo Li suddenly asked this question out of the blue at what should have been a joyous moment.
What are you thinking? Silly, how could I ever leave you? Chen Heng thought Luo Li might be recalling the hellish times she went through over a year ago, so he comfortingly patted her head.
But, Elder Brother, youll definitely get married someday, wont you? Luo Li moved Chen Hengs hand away as he playfully ruffled her hair and looked up at him.
Isnt that obvious? Im the last of the Chen Clan. How can I not get married?
But what if your future wife minds having me around?
She probably wont mind, especially since Little Lis so cute. Chen Heng didnt say this with absolute certainty because, well, he couldnt predict who his future wife would be.
But, Elder Brother, what if your future wife is Mo Qingtong?
Thiscan I say shes a good person? Chen Heng was so familiar with Mo Qingtong that he was somewhat immune to her charm. Luo Lis sudden question left him unsure of how to respond.
Even though Mo Qingtong appeared perfect, have you heard of beauties scratching and picking at their feet? Chen Heng had seen it.New n0vel chapters are published on
Well, Elder Brother, what do you think of me?
Hah?! You? Youre just a kid who hasnt even come of age yet. Whats this talk of marriage? Lets discuss it when youre older!
You said it, Elder Brother. No going back.
I bought them from the Dimension Administrators Associations store. Theyre absolutely official. Luo Li seemed to have anticipated Chen Hengs questions, calmly providing a well-prepared answer.
The Dimension Administrators Association? This was the first time Chen Heng felt genuine contempt for the Dimension Administrators Association.
Before the world reset, he could treat Luo Lis feelings toward him as a joke when he celebrated her birthday. He could consider her words as those of an immature mind. But now, he couldnt. Luo Li had detonated her time core to save him. He couldnt ignore her feelings anymore.
Honestly, Luo Li seemed like a suitable girlfriend or even a marriage partner. She was obedient, good-looking, and very amiable, maybe not to others, but definitely to Chen Heng. Moreover, for some reason, his ancestor really liked Luo Li, which saved him the hassle of introducing her to his family.
For some reason, Chen Heng increasingly felt that Luo Li was indeed a suitable match.
Yes, I bought these forms from the Dimension Administrators Associations store. They are official documents with legal validity, Luo Li affirmed her previous answer.
But, Little Li, have you forgotten something? As Chen Heng began to be convinced himself, he suddenly remembered something while looking at Luo Li.
What is it?
Something very important.
Huh?
Chen Heng looked at Luo Lis puzzled expression and had to resist the urge to laugh. This wasnt the time to burst into laughter.
Luo Li had indeed prepared meticulously and chosen the perfect momentcoinciding with Chen Heng regaining his memoriesand her act of detonating her time core to reset the world deeply moved Chen Heng. She even had the marriage registration form ready in advance. However, Luo Li had genuinely forgotten something crucial.
This was typical of her in the past, occasionally being a bit scatterbrained; it was one of her quirks.
How old are you this year, Little Li? After all, Luo Li was still a child, in Chen Hengs eyes and in the eyes of the world, so he couldnt bring himself to agree to this.
I have to endure. I must endure. I absolutely cannot laugh now. Otherwise, Luo Li will give me a good thrashing.
How old? A girls age is a secret, you know. But Im already an adult Luo Li stopped speaking midway. Then, she vigorously crumpled the marriage registration declaration form in her hand into a ball.
