That night, Li Qingning did not have the slightest of sleepiness as she sat on the bed and read a book.
In fact, his eyes were staring at a book and his soul had drifted off to who knows where.
"Little girl, what are you daydreaming for?"
The sudden question gave Li Qingning a big fright. She looked at the person in front of her with wide eyes, "You, you …. How did you get in? "
The man sat down on the edge of the bed and said, with a smirk, 'I walked in on my feet.
"..."
She obviously didn't have that intention as she reached out to snatch the book back, frowning as she looked at the man in front of her, "Brother Ming, it's not good to barge into a lady's room at night."
That's right, the man in front of them was the Dugu Ming who had once saved them from the Ninghua County.
Every year, when she was born, she would definitely receive a gift from him, but he had never appeared.
But on her day, he appeared.
Afterwards, he would come to find her from time to time, even at night.
Solitary Dark's gaze swept across her face before he slowly approached her and said, "I've only barged into your room alone."
He had waited for this little girl to grow up for so long, he did not plan to wait any longer.
He was going to marry her home.
Otherwise, if someone else were to attack him, he would kill someone out of anger.
She didn't know why, but when she heard his words, her heart started beating faster by two beats as she stammered, "That won't do either."
With both hands on either side of her body, it was equivalent to trapping her in his embrace. He laughed softly, "Then … I'll take care of it, okay? " To marry you back, to be his wife.
"Negative … Responsible? " Looking at his handsome face which was getting closer and closer, Li Qingning held onto his chest with both of his hands. "Don't get so close." If she was this close, she would. You can't even speak properly.
As if he hadn't heard her words, Dugu Ming once again leaned towards her. The moment he opened his mouth, a scorching aura sprayed onto her face, "Un, responsible, are you willing?"
He had been waiting for her for so long, he had to do it even if he didn't want to.
He would do everything in his power to make her willingly marry him.
If it wasn't for the fact that she had yet to settle this matter, she was afraid that it would implicate her. He had already appeared before her, so why wait till now?
Li Qingning's face was extremely red, she slightly turned her face away, not daring to look him in the eye again, "You … Why are you responsible for me? " Was it what she thought it meant? Is that so?
Letting out a sigh, Lonely Ming turned Li Qingning's small head with one hand and looked at it with the other, then said with a solemn expression, "Little girl, my intentions were expressed so clearly, don't you know? "Hmm?" Not giving her the chance to escape, he continued, "I love you dearly and want to marry you."
If it wasn't to wait for this little girl to grow up, why did he have to endure for so many years?
How could it be easy for those subordinates to think that he was Duan Xiu?
Hearing his words, her heart raced against her chest again.
She could not help but lick her dry lips, "I …"
Before he could finish, he was kissed by a man.
After a long time, he finally let go of her.
He rested his forehead against hers as he gasped for breath. Ning'er, marry me, okay?
Perhaps it was because his eyes were burning hot or because his kiss had disturbed his mind, Li Qingning involuntarily nodded, and said yes in a low voice.
Having said that, he couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her again.
He was so excited that he wanted to yell three times. He finally waited for her to nod.
… ….
The next day at noon, Lonely Spirit invited the matchmaker to come over and ask to marry Li Qingning.
After Li Qingling politely sent the matchmaker out, he returned to his study and asked Liu Zhimo if he had heard of the Dugu Villa.
"After Liu Zhimo finished writing, he raised his head to look at Li Qingling and nodded," Dugu Villa's Villa Master is called Dugu Ming, he suddenly rose to power half a year ago, and in half a year's time, he became the richest man in the world. He looked at her with suspicion, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly ask about Dugu Villa? "
The richest man in the world?
"Villa Master Dugu requests to marry Ning Ning."
"What?" Liu Zhimo frowned, he then walked to Li Qingling's side and sat down, "Why is Villa Master Dugu asking to marry Ning Ning for no reason?"
What was his purpose? Or had he seen Ning Ning before?
For a moment, Liu Zhimo's brain went through a few rounds.
"I don't know either." Li Qingling was also a little worried, "Husband, why don't you ask around to find out what kind of person Dugu Ming is?" If one knew this, one would be able to win a hundred times over.
They knew Dugu Ming's goal so they could plan accordingly.
Liu Zhimo patted Li Qingling's shoulder and nodded, telling her not to worry, he would send people to investigate.
He had only heard of Dugu Ming's name, and had never seen him personally before.
He had to investigate everything thoroughly.
With Liu Zhimo's words, Li Qingling felt at ease.
… ….
For a total of three days, the matchmaker came to help Dugu Ming ask to marry Li Qingning.
Li Qingling used an excuse to send his away.
She also became more vigilant, and felt that Dugu Ming had some sort of ulterior motive.
On the fourth day, Dugu Ming personally paid them a visit.
Looking at the handsome man in front of him, Li Qingling was a little confused. This was Dugu Ming.
She thought that Dugu Ming, who came to her door time and time again to ask to marry Ning Ning, would be a fellow with a shameful appearance.
His appearance was similar to Liu Zhimo, but he was slightly sturdy, while Liu Zhimo was slightly gentle.
"Sir Dugu, may I ask, why did you ask to go to my sister?"
Dugu Ming obviously did not know what being reserved meant, and directly said, "I love her."
frowned and immediately explained. He was injured once and was saved by Li Qingning, so …
"Promise me with your body …"
"..."
Ning Ning's elder sister's words were even more direct than his. He smiled and cleared his throat, revealing a sincere expression: "This humble one is truly happy about Miss Li, which is why I wanted to marry her." In order to marry his beloved little girl, he was willing to give it his all.
If his subordinates saw this, they would definitely be scared out of their wits.
Li Qingling frowned again. He glanced at Dugu Ming, but did not say yes or no.
In the midst of his silence, Liu Zhimo returned. He consoled her with a glance at Li Qingling, and then turned to Solitary Dark, "Villa Master Dugu, is it so?"
"Lord Liu..." Dugu Ming stood up and nodded to Liu Zhimo.
Liu Zhimo acknowledged them and went to see the children. He then started to chat with Dugu Ming.
Li Qingling responded as he stood up and left the hall.
Of course, Liu Zhimo did not tell her to go and see the child, but asked her to find Li Qingning and ask if she knew him?
When Li Qingling came to Li Qingning's room, he saw Li Qingning writing a big calligraphy letter.
"Sis, why are you here?" She immediately put down her brush and looked at Li Qingling.
Li Qingling thoughtfully looked at his little sister. He walked over to a chair and sat down, then beckoned for her to come over and sit. She had something to ask her.
He didn't know why his elder sister had come to find him. However, he could tell that she had a serious expression on her face.
With a bit of nervousness in his heart, he sat opposite of Li Qingling, and timidly called out "big sister" again.
After sizing up his sister, who was growing more and more delicate, Li Qingling sighed and said, "In the blink of an eye, that little ball of meat grew so big, and it has once again reached the age to get married and have children." Ning Ning was truly brought up from scratch.
Back then, she was born prematurely, so how could she be afraid that she would go with her mother? Unexpectedly, she managed to survive.
"Sis, I won't marry anyone. I'll be relying on you at home."
"Nonsense." Li Qingling looked at her and pinched her cheeks, "I think if elder sister didn't say it, you would have heard the news too right? There's a young master called Solitary Dark who came to ask to marry you. I heard from him that you saved his life before? "
pinching the center of his palm, Li Qingning's eyelids drooped slightly as he replied in a low voice.
Back then, she had saved his life.
"When did you save him?"
He pinched the sweaty palms of his hands together, Li Qingning glanced at Li Qingling and guiltily told her about how Lonely Underworld had colluded with her.
Last night, Lonely Master told her not to mention what had happened that year, or her sister would be in danger.
Immediately, he taught her how to say it.
She was truly possessed by a mind of her own, foolishly telling her elder sister the things he taught her.
I hope my sister doesn't suspect her of anything? Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to make it so round.
Hearing that, Li Qingling nodded and did not pursue the matter any further. Instead, he asked her, what was his opinion towards Dugu Ming?
Li Qingning blushed and said that it was alright for her to be the one in charge.
Eh, seeing her expression, what could she not understand? This little sister of hers had clearly fallen for him as well.
"Fine, big sister will reject him."
Seeing that Li Qingling was about to leave, Li Qingning immediately pulled on his sleeves and shouted, "Sis!"
Li Qingling pretended not to know anything and asked her what was wrong.
Elder sister is really bad, she could clearly see what she was thinking.
"I... I... "Marry …"
"What?"
"I said I'll marry …" He closed his eyes and said loudly.
Hearing Li Qingling's light laughter, Li Qingning felt even more embarrassed.
After laughing for a moment, Li Qingling nodded his head, "Since that's the case, then elder sister will go and agree to let him choose a date." Pausing for a moment, he continued, "I hope that you can marry well. Marry a man who likes you and be fortunate enough to live a happy life. In that case, sister's responsibility in this life will be gone. You must let down your parents."
Li Qingning's eyes were a little moist as she reached out and hugged Li Qingling's waist, saying that she was feeling choked with sobs.
She had never seen her mother before and in her heart, Li Qingling was both a mother and sister.
"Silly child, what are you crying for?" Li Qingling blinked his slightly reddened eyes, and patted Li Qingning on the head, "Enough, stop crying, go wash your face, big sister will go find your brother-in-law."
"Hmm …"
Li Qingling went to find Liu Zhimo, and after telling him about it, he sent someone to look for Li Qingfeng, to tell him about it, and also let him see Dugu Ming.
After Dugu Ming settled the matter with her brother-in-law and her sister-in-law, she settled the matter at the fastest speed possible.
Li Qingling couldn't bear to see his sister get married so quickly, so he chose a date in May next year.
Although Dugu Ming was not satisfied, she nodded her head and agreed.
Since he had already waited for so many years, he didn't mind waiting another year.
Before that, he would prepare for a grand and unforgettable wedding.
