Looking back, Ling Yaoyao could understand why Shen Yunjin and Ling Xuan had concealed it from her at the time. They were afraid that if Ling Yaoyao didn't like Ling Xuan, they would leave her a way out, so she would not be so embarrassed in the Ling family.
Ling Yaoyao's eyes were slightly moist. She reached out and put her arms around Shen Yunjin's neck. "Mom, you and Dad are so good to me. I love you all!"
Shen Yunjin patted the little girl's back and said, "Don't worry, we will continue to be nice to you in the future. If you quarrel with A Xuan in the future, your mother will definitely stand on your side unconditionally."
As she said this, they had already arrived at the solemn and cold building of the Military Region Headquarters.
The mother and daughter verified their identities and went to the auditorium on the top floor. Soldiers led them to sit down in the family area in the center of the first row.
Ling Zhenghai and Ling Tianyue were sitting in the first row of the military department. They nodded to Shen Yunjin and Ling Yaoyao.
In the center is a huge stage, which is also a podium for the award ceremony.
Ling Xuan hasn't appeared yet. The MC is reading out Ling Xuan's various achievements since he joined the army. The huge holographic screen behind the stage also shows short videos of those achievements, mostly from video records from the battleship and his comrades' mechas. In those videos, Ling Xuan was turning the tide again and again. He was severely injured and dying again and again...
During more than ten years in the army, Ling Xuan won a total of 520 battles, large and small. He had entered the medical cabin 134 times! It wasn't until later that Ling Xuan's combat skills were honed stronger and stronger, and he didn't have to be between life and death after every battle. In the past two or three years, the number of times he was seriously injured and had to enter the medical cabin gradually decreased.
The video showed his progress from the lowest-level soldier to the one-star general of the empire. Ling Xuan made every promotion with literally his blood and sweat!
Ling Yaoyao has the memory of the original owner. She knows that her eldest brother has been on the front line all year-round since he graduated. He rarely went home, and when he occasionally came back, he had a cold, serious, and unkind look on his face.
But she never expected that this man would have lost so much blood, undergo so many injuries, and suffered so much behind his cold iron face!
When the army was lack of food and was extremely hungry, Ling Xuan and his comrades could only cut their wrists and drink their own blood or forced themselves to swallow Zerg meat that had not been dealt with before and still had tyrannical energy!
Ling Yaoyao felt that her heart was gripped fiercely. After watching this video, she realized how many hardships and obstacles behind the four words "undefeated God of War"!
However, Ling Xuan has never been defeated. Time and time again, in the ultimate desperate situation, he turned things around, turning dangers into trivialities, and persisting until the moment of victory.
Ling Xuan had so many battles and injuries. Only some representative ones were shown in the video. Among them was Ling Xuan's 520th battle victory in the counter-invasion of the Tarzhers starfield.
His 133rd entry into the medical cabin was the time when Ling Xuan came back from the X-312 star before. The 134th entry into the medical cabin was after the defeat of Emperor Meschel from the Tarzhers Star Territory. He forcefully tore a gap in a space shuttle and, by accident, returned to the Huanuo Empire.
Ling Xuan was seriously injured at the time. Before waking up, he was in a coma for a full night on an unmanned planet. After he woke up, Ling Xuan took out a spare optical brain in his space button and sent a distress signal to the Gray Wolf Corps, reporting the key points of the Tarzhers starfield. After lying in the medical cabin for only a day, he insisted on coming out, gathered the Gray Wolf Army and the Thorns Army, and hurriedly rushed to the Tarzhers Star Field.
This section recorded the scene where Ling Xuan was covered with blood when he was found by the Gray Wolf Legion's first aid team.
Ling Xuan never told her about this! When she saw him again in the Tarzhers Star Territory, he was calm and stern, tenderly pampering her, and told her to rest assured!
Ling Yaoyao couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, and they fell drop by drop.
Shen Yunjin quickly handed her a handkerchief and comforted her, "It's okay. He has rough skin. It's not a big deal to get hurt."
She doesn't sound like a mother at all!
As Ling Tianyue's exclusive spiritual assistant therapist, who knows how many times Shen Yunjin saw Ling Tianyue seriously injured, so she became accustomed to it. A soldier's glory has always been exchanged for his life. Every time they can get their life back, it is already lucky.
Ling Yaoyao was still a little girl living in an ivory tower. For the first time, she saw her lover pass by the gate of death countless times, which was naturally felt a bit unacceptable.
Ling Xuan originally did not agree to broadcast these scenes, or he asked that it should be as concise as possible, or don't choose those scenes that were too bloody. But Cheng Bin asked for it to be released.
This is not to "sell miserable" and "looking for sympathy," but to let Ling Yaoyao know this side of Ling Xuan.
Luo Wenhui refused to agree to Cheng Bin's pursuit for so many years because she knew too well that he was a soldier in the army. It meant that they would never be completely at ease in their entire life. She always had to worry about whether or not her lover might not come back one day.
If Ling Yaoyao was willing to accept Ling Xuan's marriage proposal after knowing this side, she would not regret it in the future. Then, there would be nothing that might separate them in the future.
Before Ling Xuan entered the stage, he watched Ling Yaoyao in tears from backstage. He was very distressed, and his eyes were a little red. When he was seriously injured again and again on the battlefield, he never shed any tears.
He urged Cheng Bin coldly, "When will the award ceremony begin? There is no need for more of these."
Cheng Bin knew that Ling Xuan was reluctant to make his lover sad, so he had to urge the MC on stage using the military communication device to change the eulogy from an extended version to a super-condensed version.
Fortunately, all the guests in the audience had already arrived.
The live broadcast of military channels across the empire also already started.
After the MC summed up Ling Xuan's achievements in concise language, he began to announce the official start of the award ceremony. The honoree, Ling Xuan, was invited to appear on the stage.
Ling Xuan had sorted out his emotions. His handsome and tough face still looked cold and indifferent.
He was wearing a one-star general uniform, gorgeous and mighty, straight and upright, full of self-restraint, but extremely sexy and charming.
The MC asked everyone to stand up in attention and then invited the first marshal of the empire, Ling Zhenghai, to award Ling Xuan.
Three courtiers held the caps, epaulets, and medals representing the one-star general in their hands.
Ling Zhenghai walked out of his main seat under the stage and stepped on the white traction beam on the podium. With a solemn expression, he took the cap, epaulets, and medals from the courtier officers with both hands and put them on Ling Xuan one by one.
At this moment, the relationship between the two of them was not between grandfather and grandson but between the Imperial Marshal and his likely successor.
Ling Zhenghai briefly said a few words to encourage Ling Xuan, patted him on the shoulder, and then returned to the main position in the receiving beam.
The MC asked all the audience to sit back. Next, it was time for Ling Xuan's personal speech.
His every word and expression will be seen by the whole empire who is watching the live broadcast of this award ceremony. If it is a livable planet that is not directly accessible to Star Network, it will be broadcast later.
Ling Xuan's voice was deep and mellow. He thanked his relatives and comrades who helped him and thanked the army who trusted him and the people of the empire who supported him...
His voice is very pleasant to the ear, but it is also very cold and indifferent as if it is just a routine.
But everyone knows that he has such a cold personality. He is not good at gorgeous rhetoric and never cares about fame and other people's opinions. Ling Xuan has always proved with practical actions that he is worthy of the medal and position of a one-star general.
The people who watched the live broadcast talked a lot and felt that with Ling Xuan's great contribution, it would be considered low if he only rose to a one-star general.
People who have a better understanding of the composition of the military, and those in the upper circle of power, think that this position is reasonable. You must know that Ling Xuan is already the youngest general in the history of the Huanuo Empire. He is only 31 years old!
His father is a three-star general, and his grandfather is a four-star marshal. The empire can't let Ling Xuan reach the top in one step and allow him to pass his father!
These people also knew very well that even if Ling Xuan never stepped on the battlefield again in the future, the merits he had accumulated now would be enough for him to be promoted to a marshal, but he still needs to get this qualification slowly.
As long as Ling Xuan, the national god of war, is present, the Ling family will keep their glory for hundreds of years!
No matter which prince sits in that position, they cannot attack the Ling family easily! Otherwise, they will lose popular support!
These dignitaries don't understand that Ling Xuan usually likes to be low-key. He doesn't like publicity and doesn't care about reputation. Could it be that the Ling family was aware that the imperial royalties secretly targeted the Ling family and deliberately came to counterattack?
But no, even the emperor, or the three princes, are not as popular as Ling Xuan, the national god of war.
The most annoying thing is that Ling Xuan doesn't even care about those things that people can't ask for!
However, everyone soon discovered that they were thinking too much.
Ling Xuan's choice of the public award ceremony this time did indeed have a certain conspiracy, but it was not to counterattack or warn certain people in the royal family.
For those "little actions," he had already had a perfect "reward." It won't take long for the royal family to be unable to be arrogant anymore. They can only be a mascot in peace.
After Ling Xuan delivered a part of his personal speech, his voice suddenly changed. "There is another personal matter that is very important to me personally. Please help me to be a witness!"
Ling Xuan faced Ling Yaoyao in the center of the first row of the family area and took out a small black box from his space button. On the red flannel box stood a light golden dream star stone ring made by Ling Xuan.
The iron-blooded admiral who had just been cold and indifferent suddenly knelt on one knee on the stage. His handsome face suddenly became soothed and soft, and his cold eyes fixedly locked Ling Yaoyao's face. "Yaoyao, you are willing to marry me? If you agree, I will use every remaining day of my life to protect you, love you, and pamper you until death separates us."
At the same time, the lights in the entire auditorium changed from cold and solemn to lively flashing warm yellow tones. One of the brightest spotlights circled on Ling Yaoyao's figure, and Ling Xuan was also circled by spotlights on the stage. They faced each other as if they were the only ones left in this huge auditorium.
The holographic screen projection at the back of the stage showed a very vivid, beautiful red rose to symbolize love in the ancient earth era. It is placed in the shape of a heart. Around the rose, there is a circle of candles with flickering flames.
If someone counts them carefully, they will find that there are nine hundred and ninety-nine roses and ninety-nine candles.
Ling Yaoyao stood up from her seat, covering her mouth in shock to conceal her inner excitement.
When she saw Ling Xuan knelt down on one knee, she had a faint hunch, but she didn't expect that this was actually a marriage proposal! And on such a solemn occasion!
Ling Yaoyao knew that kneeling on one knee was no longer popular in the interstellar age, and the proposal ring was not necessary anymore. As long as people prepare a hand-made wedding proposal, they can express enough sincerity.
But Ling Xuan selected these because these are unique customs of the era that she is most familiar with.
Among them, the proposal ring was made by Ling Xuan himself. It would not be completed in a short time.
It turned out that he didn't neglect her because he was busy with work, but to plan a grand surprise for her!
Ling Xuan looked at Ling Yaoyao patiently and tenderly and continued in a cold voice, "If you don't agree... Then I will propose to you once every day and in every big event until you agree."
This is simply... the sweetest romantic threat!
Ling Yaoyao was so moved that she wanted to cry. Hearing what he said, she couldn't help but let out a laugh.
The light beam with the main pink color, red love hearts, and pink bubbles extended to the side of Ling Yaoyao's seat.
Shen Yunjin had already stepped aside in time to open a passage from their seats to the stage very intimately.
Ling Yaoyao had already put this man in her heart and was extremely uncomfortable to see the injuries he had suffered. She wanted to fight alongside him when she thought about his future dangerous missions. If she can't be with him, she must wait for him to return from the mission.
She couldn't guarantee that Ling Xuan would never be seriously injured and needed to enter the medical cabin in the future. She could only do her best to make sure that every time he woke up from the medical cabin, the first person he would see was her.
Faced with Ling Xuan's carefully prepared proposal, how could she give a negative answer?
Ling Yaoyao barely restrained her complicated feeling of wanting to laugh and cry. She walked out, stepped on the pink light beam, and quickly came to the stage in front of Ling Xuan.
She stretched out her left hand to Ling Xuan. With the happiest and most brilliant smile on her beautiful face, she said, "I am willing."
In an instant, Ling Xuan's lips also made a fascinating curve. There seemed to be twinkling stars in his cold eyes.
Ling Xuan seemed calm and organized, but in fact, he was so nervous that sweat oozes out of his palms. His heart was beating high until he got the answer he most anticipated. He finally heaves a sigh of relief.
He got up and put the gorgeous dream star stone ring on the girl's slender ring finger.
Ling Yaoyao happily stretched out her hand in front of her eyes and looked at the ring. She found that the size was just right. The pale golden dream star stone is about the size of her pinky fingernail and was polished into a beautiful sleek diamond shape. It was brilliant, clear, and beautiful. The small ring body is simple and clean, engraved with "X&Y," which is the initial of her and Ling Xuan's names.
Ling Yaoyao happily threw herself into Ling Xuan's arms. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the chin.
In order to show that she also has the same deep affection for Ling Xuan!
Anyway, most of the audience is all from the military, and their grandfather is their boss! So Ling Yaoyao was not too shy.
As for the royal family representatives, tsk, she was eager to show off in front of them. Otherwise, Xiao Ming and Xiao Zhen might come to entangle them again.
The only person in the family area was Shen Yunjin, who had recognized her a long time ago.
The smile on Ling Xuan's face was a bit more gorgeous. His eyes darkened, his head lowered, and his fingers buckled Ling Yaoyao's delicate chin. He gently pressed and kissed her soft cherry lips.
This kiss is very restrained and leaves after a touch of a finger, but everyone can feel their deep love.
Ling Xuan was very sure. This little girl dared to be so proactive, so she certainly didn't know that his award ceremony was broadcasted live to the entire empire...
Shen Yunjin covered her face in the audience. Ah, she seemed to forget to remind her daughter that there was a live broadcast.
As for the audience who is watching the live broadcast, they are all screaming in their hearts at this moment-ah ah ah ah ah ah!
