It had been a long time since she felt so happy.
Even though she hated him, she didnât throw a tantrum today and was all smiles.
Until the servant came in to report.
âYour Majesties, theyâre here.â
The Gong Princeâs consort stood up and signaled for the servant girl beside her to go and inform Li Mi.
Li Zhao was already waiting at the door.
Li Zhao smiled when he looked at Han Chi.
From today onwards, they were not only friends but also brothers-in-law.
When Han Chi came up to him, Li Zhao raised his hand and lightly punched his chest, âTreat my sister better in the future.â
âThatâs how it should be.â
The process of proposing a marriage was very complicated. There were all kinds of etiquette, and donât forget about paying respects to the heavens and ancestors.
Then, they fed Heng Yi all kinds of desserts, grains, and meat.
No matter what the Gong Prince was thinking, he was still polite to Heng Yi and Han Qiao.
When Li Mi came out to toast the guests, her cheeks were red and she was quite generous.
When the young lady poured the wine, she glanced at Han Chi who was holding the wine, and saw that Han Chi was also looking at her.
The two of them instantly blushed.
Their friends and family teased them when they saw this, and the young coupleâs faces turned even redder.
Even the thick-skinned Han Chi blushed.
The hand holding the wine plate trembled slightly.
âOh my. Ah-Chi also has times when heâs shy. Looks like heâs moved.â Feng Xinru whispered to Han Qiao.
Han Qiao smiled gently, âHe always knew what he wanted and would pursue it with determination.â
Just like studying and practicing martial arts, he could wake up early and sleep late every day.
He might have had some thoughts about Li Mi from the beginning, but because he didnât have enough confidence, he didnât dare to say anything.
When he ranked first in the junior examination, that was when he felt confident enough to confess his feelings.
In addition, Li Mi might also have some feelings for him, so he boldly spoke.
âHe is a very determined child. Once he has decided on something, he will move forward bravely and not be afraid of any storms or obstacles.â
Han Chi was a scheming man with many tricks up his sleeve, but he was protective of his own.
Li Mi was innocent and kind, but she was not stupid.
One was pretending to be mature, while the other was still a little childish.
They could make a good team together.
It was pretty good.
âAuntie, have some tea.â Li Mi served tea to Han Qiao.
In the early days, she had always called her aunt, but today, she changed her address.
Han Qiao took the teacup, took a sip, and immediately took out the gift she had prepared.
âThank you, Auntie.â
After Li Mi took it, her face turned red.
She and Han Chi had already decided on their marriage, so they could naturally be alone.
Li Mi walked alone in front, and Han Chi followed behind.
Han Chiâs mouth was dry. He wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say.
Seeing that there was no one around, he grabbed Li Miâs hand.
Li Miâs eyes widened, and her face was filled with shyness.
âY-y-youâ¦â

Both of them started to stutter.
Li Mi wanted to pull back her hand, but Han Chi held it tightly. Li Mi glared at him.
She lifted her leg to step on him.
Han Chi quickly dodged and coaxed her carefully, âDonât be angry. Iâm just very happy. I canât help it.â
When Li Mi heard this, her face turned red with embarrassment.
Of course, her heart was filled with sweetness.
Han Chi immediately took out a bracelet and handed it to Li Mi.
âI chose the beads myself. I strung them myself. Theyâre not valuableâ¦â Han Chi paused for a moment.
It was just a beeswax bracelet. Han Chi chose the beads one by one, and he had been busy stringing them for a long time when he went home.
He even especially learned from Sun Xiu and Sun Yi.
Li Mi reached out her hand with a red face and gestured for Han Chi to put it on her.
Truth to be told, she was so shy that she could not speak. She was also nervous.
After all, it was her first time being alone with another man.
Although Han Chi was younger than her, she had long understood the great defense between men and women.
Han Chi immediately squatted down and put on the bracelet for Li Mi.
Their skin touched, and both of them shivered slightly.

Han Chi glanced at Li Mi.
Li Mi also looked at him.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed together.
âCongratulations on finding the best husband in the world.â Han Chi stood up and bowed to Li Mi.
Li Mi was stunned for a moment before she stood up to return the greeting. âCongratulations to you too. Youâve chosen the best girl in the world.â
The two of them were originally people who loved to joke around.
One had experienced pain and vicissitudes but still did not forget his original heart. He was then adopted into a harmonious family, loved by his parents, and friendly with his siblings.
He had long thrown the past to the back of his mind.
One had never suffered before and did not know what suffering was.
The person she wanted to marry was now her fiance.
Han Chi began to tell Li Mi that he had not slept for the past few days. He had been thinking about her and was afraid that something would go wrong. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMe too. I didnât sleep last night. Look at my dark circles.â
âI canât tell.â Han Chi stared at Li Miâs face carefully.
âBecause I covered it with rouge.â Li Mi said softly.
âThen go to bed early tonight. Weâll go to the manor to play. We have an orchard at home. The plums are already ripe.â
Han Chi was talking about his family.
Naturally, Li Mi was included.
Li Mi nodded shyly.
She handed the jade pendant that she had prepared earlier to Han Chi.
âI bought it myself, and I made the net myself. Itâs my first time making a pendant, and it doesnât look good.â
Han Chi snatched it away, âI donât mind. 1 like it.â
He hung the jade pendant on his waist, âDoesnât it look nice?â
Li Mi nodded shyly.
âLetâs get married soon.â Han Chi said softly.
Li Mi was extremely surprised.
âI-I, y-youâ¦â
She canât say a complete sentence.
âI want to marry you as soon as possible. Although 1 donât have anything now, I will have it in the future. Iâll provide you with a good life.â
Li Mi hesitated for a moment and asked Han Chi, âThen⦠Will you take a concubine?â
Her voice was very soft.
After asking this question, her entire person carried a trace of unspeakable gloominess.
Han Chi instantly understood.
Prince Gong had many concubines, and he loved his concubines more and made his wife suffer.
Han Chi thought of his own family. His parents were loving and harmonious, and it seemed as if they never held any secrets between them.
They both worked together to make their lives, their familyâs lives, better.
He squatted in front of Li Mi and held Li Miâs slightly trembling hand, âI read a book that day. There was a particularly beautiful line in the book; âI wish to have a personâs heart and never leaveâ.â
âI donât know about other people, but I will restrain myself from being fickle, and I will also take care of the two taels of meat in my crotch.â
Li Mi was touched and embarrassed, âYou hooligan!â
However, Han Chi did not think that he was acting like a hooligan.
He was only explaining one thing.
âIâm very serious. You see, my parents only have each other. Theyâre so loving and harmonious at home. 1 grew up in such a family. I admired, trusted, and loved people like my parents. I want to become that kind of person.â
âAs a man, my father is responsible. He loves his wife and his children.â
âMi.. Miâer, there are some things that are meaningless to say too much. A promise that is easily made without careful consideration is not reliable. Our lives are still very long. Time is the best way to verify a personâs heart. Itâs useless to say more. Whether itâs good or bad, it would be in our daily interactions and in the years to come.â
A kind word will warm you three winters, but a bad word will hurt you even in the summer.
It was better to say more praise than to have cold words and cold expressions.
Han Chi had never believed that a person with a sharp tongue would have a soft heart. The moment a person with a sharp tongue opened his mouth, his heart would be as sharp as a knife..
