In his office, Ling Xuan was thinking about how to propose marriage.
Cheng Bin knocked on the door twice before Ling Xuan noticed him and let him in impatiently.
Because Ling Xuan saw Cheng Bin's smiling face, he knew that he shouldn't have any urgent or important military affairs.
Of course, Cheng Bin knew what his boss and friend was upset about. He said with a smile, "I have a great idea. If you succeed, you can thank me by giving Luo Wenhui and me a month off."
Ling Xuan frowned. "What's the idea?"
He always felt that Cheng Bin's ideas were all bad ideas... In the beginning, before he knew that Ling Yaoyao and Wei Yuan were cousins, he was overturned by jealousy, but because of his sibling relationship with Ling Yaoyao, he intended to forbear it. However, Cheng Bin suggested he kiss her until she agreed!
At that time, because of the feeling of being broken in love for the first time in his life, he drank a lot of alcohol. Although he was not so drunk, he was a little bit drunk and forcefully kissed Yaoyao...
That was the worst and most clumsy confession. Later, Ling Yaoyao had a cold war with him for a long time and regarded him as a scourge.
The process was a bit torturous, but in the end, he managed to chase Ling Yaoyao.
Now the two are happy and connected. Although he can't wait to marry her home, Ling Xuan is unwilling to use any method that would make Ling Yaoyao uncomfortable.
Cheng Bin looked at Ling Xuan's suspicious look and slowly said, "The day after tomorrow is your military's award ceremony. You can ask to broadcast the ceremony to the whole empire and publicly propose to Sister Yaoyao. How about it? The success rate of proposing marriage publicly on the award podium is as high as 99%. Those couples would never be divorced and have always been loving and happy."
The only unsuccessful record he found was because a major general proposed to a petty royal princess, without any relationship basis with him at all. It was just the major general who had a crush on the princess unilaterally.
What's even more amazing is that although the princess did not agree, she felt the sincerity of the major general. Their interaction gradually increased, and at the next award ceremony to the major general, the princess finally agreed to his proposal!
To a certain extent, the proposal of the award ceremony can also be said to have a 100% success rate! If you fail once, then do it again!
Generally, during an award ceremony, the awardees can freely choose whether to make it public, and they can also invite several relatives and friends to participate.
Ling Xuan has always disliked publicity. Before, when he became a major general, he chose not to make it public. This time, his general's award ceremony was still planned.
He paid a lot for this empire, but Ling Xuan felt that it was just what he should do in his position.
However, after listening to Cheng Bin's proposal and the success rate was 99%, Ling Xuan's heart was moved...
Ling Xuan has no romantic cells, but he can't help but look forward to the scene where the people of the entire empire will watch them promise each other for a lifetime!
He doesn't care about fame, but he wants to make his love for Ling Yaoyao public in the most solemn way. He wants to propose to her and looks forward to receiving her affirmative response!
If he did this before their feelings were deep enough, it would be a bit intimidating. However, now he could feel that, in fact, his little girl had already relented long ago. Otherwise, she would not be willing to announce that she was "in love" before he came back.
She was probably waiting for him to show enough sincerity, and the last trace of hesitation in her heart would disappear.
Ling Xuan didn't have absolute certainty. The worst result was nothing more than failure, and he will do it again in the future... Just wait until he is promoted to be a marshal.
Ling Xuan calmly said, "If it is successful, I will grant you a three-month vacation. If it fails, you won't even think of any extra vacations for the next three years."
After he left Ling Xuan, Cheng Bin called Luo Wenhui and asked her to take a vacation together. The young couple clearly wants to live in a world of two.
Cheng Bin was caught in a major incident in the Tarzhers Star Field before and suffered extremely serious injuries. Although it was not fatal because the rescue was timely, Cheng Bin's appearance of excessive blood loss, pale and weak, still made the military doctor, Luo Wenhui, worried.
Cheng Bin took the opportunity to confess his love again, saying that if Luo Wenhui did not agree to be with him, he would rather give up treatment and just die like this.
This trick is still learned from Ling Xuan. Although this trick is old, it works very well.
If Luo Wenhui had no intention to him, she would not have been entangled with Cheng Bin for so many years. She did not agree before because of frequent warfare. She was afraid that she would hear the news of her lover's death on the battlefield one day.
But after the Battle of the Tarzhers Star Territory was settled, a long and peaceful day would be ushered in. Luo Wenhui half-pushed and half agreed.
If Ling Xuan's proposal fails, of course, he will not be willing to let his adjutant and good buddy take his lover out to have a happy life!
Cheng Bin touched his nose and said with a smile, "It seems that only success is allowed, not failure."
Of course, he has to take a gamble on the ninety-nine chance of winning.
Ling Xuan personally gave a relatives and friends invitation to Ling Yaoyao.
After dinner, Ling Xuan made an excuse that something was going on in the military department, and he still had to go back to the military dormitory later.
This is to prepare the details of the proposal.
Ling Yaoyao was a little disappointed. Ling Xuan had been back for nearly a week but only stayed at home on the first day. Then he only came over to eat today.
Although, there is still only one video per day.
Ling Yaoyao knew that with Ling Xuan's identity, he was busy. This kind of thing was also normal.
However, in this period of passionate love, knowing that her lover is in the same city, but it is difficult to meet each other, Ling Yaoyao still can't help but feel a little lost.
As soon as Ling Xuan came back, he declared sovereignty in a high-profile manner on Weibo. This week, when Ling Yaoyao saw her classmates, relatives and friends, everyone could not help but tease her.
But in fact, she is still alone most of the time. She thought that Ling Xuan would propose to her as soon as he came back, but Ling Xuan didn't mention anything as if he had forgotten about it.
The military headquarters of the Imperial Capital is different from the border or the Tarzhers Star Region. She can't freely visit the main battleship command room here if it is not for special circumstances or the status of a legal partner. Even if she is Ling Xuan's "Sister" and lover, she can't just go to the military dormitory to find him. She can only wait for Ling Xuan to come to see her after finishing his work.
Perhaps, his affairs are just too busy!
She can understand, but Ling Yaoyao still has some resentment.
Ling Xuan personally came to invite her to participate in his award ceremony, which made Ling Yaoyao feel much better. It seems that he still remembers and values her very much!
Ling Xuan naturally saw the girl's emotions and could only comfort her, "After the award ceremony, I will have time to accompany you more."
Ling Yaoyao didn't dare to expect too much and said nonchalantly, "Who cares about you!"
Ling Xuan amusedly kissed the little girl's cheek. "Well, I love you."
In addition to Ling Yaoyao, Ling Xuan gave invitations to their grandfather, parents, relatives, and friends.
With the identities of Ling Zhenghai and Ling Tianyue, they can participate without invitation. They will also sit in the VIP seats in the front row of the military district leaders, but Ling Xuan hopes that they will also participate in the award ceremony as his relatives at the same time.
Soon, the day for Ling Xuan's award ceremony arrived.
This day is not a weekend. Fortunately, Ling Yaoyao has now reached the grandmaster level in food therapy, comparable to the level of Master Cai Youhong. She has a lot of freedom in the Department of Food Therapy. She only needs to take the exam at the end of each semester, and she can do whatever she wants at other times.
However, the fact that Ling Yaoyao reached the grandmaster level was not publicized. Only Master Cai Youhong and her most important relatives and friends knew about it.
After all, there is currently Cai Youhong, the grandmaster-level food therapist in the empire. In addition to the academy and research, he has to make supplementary food for many dignitaries every month. If Ling Yaoyao's true level is disclosed to the public, who knows how much trouble she would get.
Even if she only announced her promotion to a master food therapist, many people was already shocked and admired her.
Su Qinghe, who is also a master, also has the same freedom in schoolwork.
Ling Yaoyao also has one more authority. As long as she wants to, she can participate in the remaining major assessment in advance. As long as she passes the exam, she can graduate early.
However, Ling Xuan and other family members do not recommend that Ling Yaoyao graduate so early. They hope that she can enjoy campus life for a while.
Ling Yaoyao didn't know that Ling Xuan's award ceremony was broadcast live to the entire empire, but she also knew that this occasion was very important to Ling Xuan. She specially wore a small rose gold dress with a simple pair of delicate little high-heel. She was also dragged by Shen Yunjin to a high-end styling studio that did her hairstyle and put on delicate and light makeup.
Shen Yunjin is also dressed up. She looked elegant and dignified, without any fault.
On the speed car heading to the military headquarters, Shen Yunjin's thoughtful, tangled eyes made Ling Yaoyao a little overwhelmed. She felt that Shen Yunjin seemed to be hiding something from her, so she stared at Shen Yunjin with suspicious little eyes several times.
The Ling family's parents used to pretend they didn't know of her and Ling Xuan's relationship, but now the entire empire knows bout it. Shen Yunjin didn't express any opinions, which made Ling Yaoyao a little bit nervous. Is her mother approved or not?
Shen Yunjin wanted to kiss her daughter's delicate and tender face, but she was afraid of damaging her makeup. She could only squeeze her cute little earlobes that was not wearing the red moonflower earrings and said with a smile, "You look so good. Fortunately, your brother had started early."
Ling Yaoyao's ears turned red, but she still heard the sign of approval from Shen Yunjin's ridiculing words. She courageously asked Shen Yunjin in a low voice, "Mom, when did you know it?"
Shen Yunjin naturally knew that Ling Xuan would propose publicly. As a mother, of course, she had to help her son.
She is also not willing to marry off the daughter who she loved since she was so young, so she was a little bit entangled.
Fortunately, Shen Yunjin quickly figured it out. Ling Yaoyao would officially recognize her ancestor and return to the Wei family in a week. If Ling Xuan's proposal is unsuccessful this time, maybe Ling Yaoyao will return to the Wei family who is related to her by blood in the future. However, if the marriage proposal is successful, Ling Yaoyao will still belong to their Ling family. It's just her identity has changed from an adopted daughter to a prospective daughter-in-law.
Shen Yunjin thought for a while and said truthfully, "In fact, your father and I knew it before you were together!"
Ling Yaoyao was stunned. "Ah? When? How come!"
Shen Yunjin: "Well, just when your brother got injured from the X-312 mission. When he had to wait for you to come back, otherwise, he wouldn't enter the medical cabin."
Ling Yaoyao's entire pretty face was red now. She didn't expect the Ling family's parents to know it so early. At that time, she was still full of resistance to Ling Xuan! How did her parents know? Could it be Ling Xuan's...
Shen Yunjin knew that her daughter might be thinking of something wrong. She smiled and continued, "At the time, I thought it was suspicious. What kind of important thing did you, brother and sister, have that he has to talk to you before entering the medical cabin. Won't it be okay to talk about it half a day or a day later? So I went to the study room to watch the surveillance...
The result, I found that the watery Chinese cabbage I raised was stolen by my own pig!
I was so angry that I turned my head and told your dad. As soon as Ling Xuan came out of the medical cabin, he was served by your dad's military baton every day. His back was peeled all over, and the military baton almost broke his leg, but he still insisted on you. There is no way for us, your parents. We can only let him go. I thought that if you were unwilling, I would ask your dad to assign him to the Frontier Star for a long time and prevent him from coming back."
Shen Yunjin has been holding back these words for a long time. She did not dare to reveal a word to her daughter. Now that the two are in a stable relationship, she will not let her daughter feel that she and Ling Tianyue did not care for her as parents. She might also feel more distressed by Ling Xuan's suffering at that time.
When you don't like a person, even if the person is on the verge of life and death, you won't frown.
When you like someone, you will frown when you hear that they ate one less meal.
When Ling Yaoyao first heard this, the expression on her face was mainly shock and embarrassment, but after a while, she began to look distressed and guilty.
When she heard that their father beat up Ling Xuan for three days after he left the medical cabin, when she went to her grandfather's house because of anger, she was distressed because she did not know it.
Ling Tianyue, as a father, was naturally measured when beating Ling Xuan. He wouldn't really do anything to him. But the pain of flesh and blood was indispensable.
Unexpectedly, the Ling family's parents would be so cruel to their biological son because of her, an adopted daughter. Ling Xuan had just left the medical cabin at that time. No wonder he didn't go to the old house to look for her for three days.
And Ling Xuan never told her about it.
