Chapter 173 I Choose to Get Married

Ji Yubai also realized that Zhong Lingxi had asked him the same question twice, and he understood what she wanted to express.

He said seriously, "I understand. I love you, and it has nothing to do with whether it's your first time or not. I don't care. I just want to marry you and live with you like a normal married couple."

These words sounded somewhat glib, but she knew Ji Yubai quite well.

"Ji Yubai, swear that you're telling the truth, or you'll be impotent for life!"

Zhong Lingxi still didn't believe him and insisted that he swear an oath.

Overjoyed, Ji Yubai raised his hand without hesitation and solemnly swore an oath.

“I swear, I will love you for the rest of my life. I mean it when I say I don’t care about being a virgin. If I’m lying, may I be impotent for the rest of my life and never see Zhong Lingxi again.”

Zhong Lingxi wiped away her tears and emphasized again, "You have to always like me, even if I don't like you."

After making his vow, Ji Yubai boldly reached out and took her hand in his palm, promising, "Okay, I'll love you for the rest of my life, and I'll love you in the next life too."

Zhong Lingxi didn't shake off Ji Yubai's hand, and he was overjoyed.

Zhong Lingxi sobbed, and after a long while, she finally spoke, "Then you should take good care of yourself. After you recover, continue being Young Master Ji, don't be President Ji anymore."

Ji Yubai suddenly gripped her hand tightly and said angrily, "You lied to me?"

Zhong Lingxi winced in pain, but seeing Ji Yubai's anxious expression, she took his large hand in return.

"Ji Yubai, I just don't love you, but I won't lie to you."

"Then what did you mean by what you just said?" Ji Yubai was afraid that she was just trying to reassure him and put his parents at ease.

"I want to apologize to you for my previous behavior. I shouldn't have ignored your sincerity towards me. I've thought about it. I don't have anyone I like right now, and I can't possibly not get married in my life. So why don't I choose to marry someone who loves me, is willing to listen to everything I say, and is even better off than me?"

"So, you mean you're willing to marry me?" It's no wonder Ji Yubai was so cautious; he was terrified of being deceived by Zhong Lingxi.

Zhong Lingxi raised an eyebrow and asked him in return, "Or do you just want to date me?"

Ji Yubai said decisively, "Marriage? I will definitely choose marriage."

Zhong Lingxi remained silent, only smiling at him.

Ji Yubai smiled and pointed to the electrocardiogram monitor screen, saying, "Look, the heart rate is 180. I really like you. I get so excited when we talk about marriage."

Zhong Lingxi: "Are you sure you don't want to call a doctor?"

"No." Ji Yubai gripped her hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

All he can do now is hold her hand.

Taking advantage of the rare opportunity to have a proper conversation, and with the atmosphere still pleasant, Zhong Lingxi told him about her plans for tomorrow: "You take good care of yourself. I'll go to the company to submit the documents tomorrow and then head back to Luzhou."

Ji Yubai, true to his wife's wishes, immediately said, "Then I'll come to Luzhou to find you after I'm discharged from the hospital."

Zhong Lingxi shook her head. "Spend some time with your parents. The Luzhou project is already in the contract drafting stage. I can return to Beijing after the signing ceremony."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Although she relented, Ji Yubai didn't dare to disobey. He did whatever Zhong Lingxi said.

That night, Ji Yubai lay on the hospital bed and slept soundly.

He even had a beautiful dream about marrying Zhong Lingxi, and when he woke up, the feeling of happiness was still there.

Zhong Lingxi lay on the cot that opened up on the sofa, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did.

She knew that her decision to marry Ji Yubai was impulsive and also pragmatic.

But she has always been a rational person. She thought it was her idea and said it. Ji Yubai did not object, so she put her idea into practice.

The next day, Zhong Lingxi had just gotten up and washed her face with some water when her parents arrived at the hospital with breakfast from home.

Ji's mother took a set of clothes out of the shopping bag and handed it to Zhong Lingxi with expectant eyes.

"This is what your aunt prepared for you. I noticed you didn't bring any change of clothes, so I picked out a new set from my walk-in closet, washed it, and brought it to you. Please change into it."

In her hand was a champagne-colored silk dress paired with a thin white blazer, a business-like look that wasn't too formal.

Under Aunt An's guidance, Zhong Lingxi could tell at a glance that this outfit was quite valuable.

Since the aunt had already washed and brought it over, she didn't hesitate and accepted it generously, saying, "Thank you, Auntie, you're so thoughtful."

Ji's mother was initially worried that Zhong Lingxi would refuse her kindness.

Now that Zhong Lingxi has accepted, her smile deepens, and it seems like wrinkles are forming at the corners of her eyes.

"There's also a shampoo and conditioner set inside. Go take a shower and go to work feeling refreshed."

Zhong Ling happily agreed, "Okay, Auntie."

She had already talked to Ji Yubai last night, and she will have plenty of time and opportunities to repay her uncle and aunt for their kindness.

Without delay, she took the bag and went into the bathroom under her mother's watchful eye.

Ji's mother said with great regret, "Why are you so unlucky? Such a good girl can't be my daughter-in-law."

Ji Yubai felt that his parents had finally changed their opinion of him a little, and he couldn't let this brush with death go to waste; he wanted them to feel sorry for him for a while longer.

He sighed, "Ah~ who can argue with that?"

Upon hearing this, Ji's mother slapped his leg and said, "How can you be so useless? You can't even keep a good girl."

“I like Lingxi very much. She accepts anything I give her generously. If she were my daughter-in-law, I would have someone who understands me to enjoy the delicious food I make.”

"You think I'm useful just because I can marry her?" Ji Yubai lowered his eyes, concealing the glint in them.

Ji's mother responded listlessly, "Mmm."

Ji Yubai then looked at his father, "What about you, old man?"

"You're quite capable at making your wife happy," Mr. Ji scoffed, but he knew it was just wishful thinking. "The reality is, no one wants to associate with you, so how could you become my wife!"

Ji Yubai was so happy he forgot all about home, his mouth practically crooked from smiling.

He cleared his throat and said seriously, "You two, I have something to announce to you."

Upon hearing this, the two elders gave him ample face, both looking at him with their eyes fixed on him.

Ji Yubai: "Lingxi has agreed to marry me."

"Are you perhaps delirious from your illness?" Ji's mother asked with concern, touching Ji Yubai's forehead.

"You've gone mad!" Ji's father stood up in surprise and grabbed Ji Yubai's face.

At that moment, the bathroom door suddenly opened.

Time seemed to stand still. We looked at each other, forgetting what we were supposed to be doing.
