It had been a long time since she felt so happy.
Even though she hated him, she didn’t throw a tantrum today and was all smiles.
Until the servant came in to report.
“Your Majesties, they’re here.”
The Gong Prince’s 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, “Treat my sister better in the future.”
“That’s how it should be.”
The process of proposing a marriage was very complicated. There were all kinds of etiquette, and don’t 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 couple’s faces turned even redder.
Even the thick-skinned Han Chi blushed.
The hand holding the wine plate trembled slightly.
“Oh my. Ah-Chi also has times when he’s shy. Looks like he’s moved.” Feng Xinru whispered to Han Qiao.
Han Qiao smiled gently, “He always knew what he wanted and would pursue it with determination.”
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 didn’t have enough confidence, he didn’t 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.
“He 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.”
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.
“Auntie, have some tea.” 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.
“Thank you, Auntie.”
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 Chi’s 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 Mi’s hand.
Li Mi’s eyes widened, and her face was filled with shyness.
“Y-y-you…”

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, “Don’t be angry. I’m just very happy. I can’t help it.”
When Li Mi heard this, her face turned red with embarra.s.sment.
Of course, her heart was filled with sweetness.
Han Chi immediately took out a bracelet and handed it to Li Mi.
“I chose the beads myself. I strung them myself. They’re not valuable…” 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.
“Congratulations on finding the best husband in the world.” Han Chi stood up and bowed to Li Mi.
Li Mi was stunned for a moment before she stood up to return the greeting. “Congratulations to you too. You’ve chosen the best girl in the world.”
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.
“Me too. I didn’t sleep last night. Look at my dark circles.”
“I can’t tell.” Han Chi stared at Li Mi’s face carefully.
“Because I covered it with rouge.” Li Mi said softly.
“Then go to bed early tonight. We’ll go to the manor to play. We have an orchard at home. The plums are already ripe.”
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.
“I bought it myself, and I made the net myself. It’s my first time making a pendant, and it doesn’t look good.”
Han Chi s.n.a.t.c.hed it away, “I don’t mind. 1 like it.”
He hung the jade pendant on his waist, “Doesn’t it look nice?”
Li Mi nodded shyly.
“Let’s get married soon.” Han Chi said softly.
Li Mi was extremely surprised.
“I-I, y-you…”
She can’t say a complete sentence.
“I want to marry you as soon as possible. Although 1 don’t have anything now, I will have it in the future. I’ll provide you with a good life.”
Li Mi hesitated for a moment and asked Han Chi, “Then… Will you take a concubine?”
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 family’s lives, better.
He squatted in front of Li Mi and held Li Mi’s slightly trembling hand, “I read a book that day. There was a particularly beautiful line in the book; ‘I wish to have a person’s heart and never leave’.”
“I don’t 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.”
Li Mi was touched and embarra.s.sed, “You hooligan!”
However, Han Chi did not think that he was acting like a hooligan.
He was only explaining one thing.
“I’m very serious. You see, my parents only have each other. They’re 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.”
“As a man, my father is responsible. He loves his wife and his children.”
“Mi.. Mi’er, 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 person’s heart. It’s useless to say more. Whether it’s good or bad, it would be in our daily interactions and in the years to come.”
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..
