At the age of eighteen, Shen Yunjin met Ling Tianyue and fell in love at first sight. Shen Yunjin's family was not at ease and felt that Ling Tianyue still needed to be investigated because their daughter was still too young. After graduation, Shen Yunjin and Ling Tianyue were only engaged, waiting for Shen Yunjin to reach the age of twenty-five and automatically promoted to a marriage relationship.
On the other hand, Qian Yao and Wei Ling were married directly. At that time, they were both over twenty-five years old and recognized each other, but they had been dating for seven years before they got married.
Ling Yaoyao struggled to make a decision. She knew that Ling Xuan would return to the old house after finishing his military affairs, so she simply waited for him on the sofa in the living room.
As a result, after waiting and waiting, Ling Yaoyao fell asleep without knowing it.
Ling Xuan returned home in the wee hours in the morning after finishing all his work. He was to make arrangements for the wedding and honeymoon, so he wanted to arrange everything in the army, which is why he was so late.
Starting tomorrow, Ling Xuan will have a one-month vacation. Unimportant matters will be handled remotely. If there are important matters, he only needs to occasionally report to the military department.
But when he got home, he saw his baby girl waiting for him until she fell asleep on the sofa, which Ling Xuan felt soft.
He stepped forward and gently hugged the girl's petite body, but her sleeping face was so cute and attractive. Ling Xuan couldn't help but lean over and kiss her pouting mouth.
Ling Yaoyao was worried about the marriage matter and did not sleep very deeply. When Ling Xuan picked her up, she noticed it. When Ling Xuan kissed her, she barely managed to overcome her sleepiness. She opened her eyes, and her sleepy eyes stared at Ling Xuan accusingly. "Bad guy! Playing hooligan again!"
Ling Xuan was righteous and confident. He said with a chuckle, "I kiss my own wifey. How can you say I'm a hooligan?"
Ling Yaoyao was stunned for a while before reacting in a daze. Oh no, she agreed to this guy's proposal today...
But when she thought of the purpose of her waiting until now, Ling Yaoyao quickly asked, "Do you want to get engaged or get married directly?"
Ling Xuan had only been talking about engagement before. Ling Yaoyao wasn't sure if this person also wanted to leave a way to escape in case they didn't fit.
Shen Yunjin's words couldn't count. She was also Ling Yaoyao's mother. Naturally, she hoped that their affairs would be settled down at once and don't fall apart after a year or two.
So Ling Yaoyao wanted to hear what Ling Xuan said personally.
Ling Xuan said without hesitation, "Of course, I want to be married. But your biological parents still don't approve of me and may not be willing to sign the documents for us. If it's really not possible, we can get engaged first."
Only when they get married will Ling Xuan feel that he has really abducted her. He will never give her a chance to go back on her words.
But Ling Yaoyao is only nineteen years old, after all. There are very few precedents in the history of the empire that a couple marries before graduation unless it is a type of business marriage.
Most people seem to feel that it is more responsible and solemn to get engaged first before getting married for true love.
Ling Xuan can be sure that he will never repent, but he cannot deprive Ling Yaoyao of the right to repent because of his own thoughts.
Ling Yaoyao grabbed the clothes on Ling Xuan's chest and asked nervously, "Then, if we get married now and someday, you find that I actually have many shortcomings. What if you regret it?"
Ling Xuan grumbled, "I've confirmed it, and it won't change for a lifetime. I'm only afraid you will regret it."
Ling Yaoyao's mood suddenly improved. She rubbed her face on Ling Xuan's chest and said, "Let's get married directly."
Ling Yaoyao didn't agree with a marriage with room for remorse. For her, both parties should love each other without reservations.
Ling Xuan was exulted. "Really?!!!"
Then he was so excited that he pressed Ling Yaoyao onto the sofa and began to kiss wildly.
He always felt that he fell first and deeper than Ling Yaoyao. She just passively responded to his fiery love.
But he would never think that she would be willing to give up the right to observe him longer and the right to repent at any time, skipping the engagement and marrying him directly.
Ling Yaoyao panted after being kissed heavily. "Um...wait, wait! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Ling Xuan reluctantly stopped. His eyes were a bit vicious when he pinched the girl's waist and said in a dangerous tone, "Huh? You won't regret it now, do you?!"
If Ling Yaoyao dared to nod, he would fight with her desperately.
Ling Yaoyao said helplessly, "No, I just want to wait until the dust settles on the throne matter... Also, if we can get 168 here when we get married... it would be even better."
When the battle for the throne came to an end, she and Ling Xuan's fate was completely rewritten. They could enter a new chapter from then on without being disturbed by the original plot again.
Then Ling Xuan told Ling Yaoyao that he was pushing for "reform." He wanted to change from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. He also pulled out the evidence of Xiao Rui and Xiao Ming dealing with the Ling family and brought out the evidence of Xiao Ming's treason and collaborating with the enemy.
Ling Yaoyao didn't know the specific process very clearly. She only knew that these things were feasible, but it would take some time.
However, it would take half a year to a year for the Tarzhers Star Field to open a stable space transition channel and stabilize the situation.
Ling Yaoyao felt that in this way, she could enjoy the sweetness of dating for a while, and when everything was resolved satisfactorily, they could get married. There would be no more thoughts and worries.
Ling Xuan grinds his teeth, lifts Ling Yaoyao up, and presses her hard in his arms. "...bad girl!"
Doesn't this mean he could only see but can't eat for a while?
However, since Ling Yaoyao made the request, there is no reason for Ling Xuan, a wife slave, to not agree.
It was originally planned to start the construction of the space transition channel in a year, but it seems that it must be done within half a year.
And the matter of the royal family also must not exceed half a year.
Preparation for a grand wedding ceremony is troublesome. Half a year is barely enough to do this.
Half a year. This was the limit he could endure.
The next day, the Ling family went to visit the Wei family together.
With the help of Shen Yunjin, Ling Xuan had prepared nine space buttons long ago, filled with all kinds of gifts needed to formally propose a marriage, ranging from rare minerals to precious ingredients, medicines, antiques, etc., as well as a long list of real estate.
The betrothal gift can be accepted by the proposed family.
However, the bride's family usually only keeps a small amount of the betrothal gifts sent by the groom's family.
This is because in the interstellar age, getting engaged means that the child has to go out and live independently. Of course, the parent usually gives the child more financial resources to form a new family.
The Ling family raised Ling Yaoyao, but Ling Xuan also prepared such a generous gift for the marriage proposal, which was enough to prove his sincerity.
The Wei family and the Ling family are already allies. They had long known that the Ling family would come today to propose.
So the Wei family's attitude was very enthusiastic at first.
However, when they heard that Ling Xuan was determined to get married directly... instead of being engaged, their expression suddenly froze for a while!
Elder Wei asked, "Ling Xuan, are you serious? Yaoyao is not yet 19 years old. Of course, you have to get engaged first."
Ling Xuan: "Yes, I want to get married directly. Yaoyao and I have already recognized each other and will never regret it. We also ask father-in-law and mother-in-law to complete us, and then help sign the consent document on the marriage agreement."
Wei Ling's face gradually darkened, and it was rare for him to say something harsh. "I know that your Ling family has a great kindness to Yaoyao. You also have a great kindness to us, husband and wife. However, these are not enough to guarantee your marriage to Yaoyao. This is too careless! When young people are just beginning to fall in love, it is easy to idealize their feelings, but marriage and love are not the same."
Qian Yao also followed, "If you have been in love for a longer time and have a better understanding, we will not ask you to be engaged first. However, it has not been a year since you fell in love... If your relationship can stand the test, it doesn't matter to wait longer and officially get married after a while. When Yaoyao graduates, we will sign the marriage consent document for you. How about it?"
Wei Ling and Qian Yao did not intend to embarrass Lingxuan on purpose, but they did this for the sake of Ling Yaoyao.
No matter how Ling Yaoyao said that she was serious, Qian Yao softly persuaded her that it is better to get engaged first than get married directly. This is just to be more cautious and responsible towards her relationship.
Ling Yaoyao had to say, "Dad and Mom, I have known Ling Xuan since I was one year old. I have already understood him thoroughly enough..."
Shen Yunjin couldn't watch her children fighting alone and being embarrassed by Ling Yaoyao's parents. She calmly said: "In other words, Yaoyao is still in our Ling family's household now. Yaoyao's legal guardian is Tianyue and me. Legally, as long as there is no blood relationship within three generations, adopted children can be married. In other words, if you do not agree, as long as we agree, the marriage of the two children can be done. The two children ask you for your opinions to really treat you as their elders. It's fine if you don't trust my son, Ling Xuan, or even your own daughter Yaoyao... It's not a big deal if our two families have less contact in the future."
This is very rude, but she said this because Shen Yunjin really treats Ling Yaoyao as her own daughter and has never treated Ling Yaoyao less than her own son. If Ling Xuan is unreliable, or Ling Yaoyao has concerns, of course, it is different.
Since the two children have identified each other, Shen Yunjin could not see them being embarrassed by Wei Ling and Qian Yao.
Wei Ling and Qian Yao were forced to leave Ling Yaoyao at the beginning. The Wei family had not looked for Ling Yaoyao for so many years because they believed she was dead long ago.
But now, Ling Yaoyao has been doing her best for the Wei family. The supplementary food she made for Grandpa Ling, she will surely also give a share to Grandpa Wei and Grandma Wei.
In order to prove his sincerity, Ling Xuan also personally prepared the betrothal gift in addition to his busy work these days.
If Wei Ling and Qianyao cannot agree to discuss the marriage, then don't discuss it.
When blindly giving in and forbearing doesn't work, then you must be strong. The two children cannot be disrespectful to Wei Ling and Qian Yao, who are their elders, even if they have not done much of their responsibilities as parents.
So Shen Yunjin doesn't mind being the bad person.
Sure enough, Wei Ling's face turned darker, and Qian Yao's face was slightly paler as they heard Shen Yun's words just now.
Qian Yao tried to explain, "I didn't mean to disrespect Yaoyao's decision... I just made a suggestion."
Although Wei Ling let go, he still insisted, "If you want to get our consent, it's not impossible, but I have requirements and conditions. If you feel that you don't need our consent at all, then we don't have to continue talking."
Of course, Ling Yaoyao still hopes to get the understanding and consent of her biological parents. She also knows that they are only against it because they are afraid that she will suffer. The fixed thinking mode in the interstellar age makes them feel that marriage is not a trivial matter and needs further investigation.
She quickly looked at Ling Xuan. Ling Xuan patted Ling Yaoyao's hand comfortingly and then looked at Wei Ling. "What are the conditions?"
Wei Ling finally had a somewhat approved look in his eyes, "If you want to get married directly, you have to sign a prenuptial agreement with Yaoyao. If she proposes to divorce first, you must agree to it regardless of the reason. She cannot be held accountable. If you first filed for a divorce, then you have to deal with the asset impartially! The agreement will be valid until Yaoyao turns twenty-five."
This is an unequal treaty. In short, it is to give Ling Yaoyao a way to split up even if they get married.
After speaking, Wei Ling looked at Ling Yaoyao again, "Ling Xuan must sign this, but if you think it is not necessary, it's fine if you don't sign it."
Ling Xuan said immediately, "Okay, I promise!"
With his love for Ling Yaoyao, he is confident that he will never make Ling Yaoyao regret their marriage and have any thoughts of leaving him.
