1063 Chapter 1063 “Finally Engaged“
"Let's go back. Father should already prepare the engagement event" Long Ao Zhen suddenly spoke after he felt that they have greeted almost all guests there except the one from Yan Family.
He was feeling impatient. Let's just end the banquet and go home.
"Okay," Li Shi Ying not knowing what Long Ao Zhen was thinking about, obeyed him. The girl followed the man to the place where the emperor was preparing things needed for the engagement announcement.
First, they need tea since this would be more formal than before. After that….well he had prepared something good.
"Father, is the preparation done?" Long Ao Zhen asked his father when he saw that the man was chatting with the servants. Maybe they were still preparing the event?
"It is almost done. Why? You can't wait to get engaged?" The emperor turned his head around and teased Long Ao Zhen with a smirk on his face. His son seemed impatient. Could it be he was waiting for something?
"What?? No. Of course not. I just feel that it's already late...almost 12 p.m shouldn't we end the banquet already…" Long Ao Zhen shook his head while scratching his cheek sheepishly. He couldn't say the truth this time. He won't! Please don't let Li Shi Ying ask him. Don't!
"I know, I know, the engagement event will be the closing for the banquet. After this, all of us can go back peacefully" the emperor chuckled seeing Long Ao Zhen averted his eyes feeling guilty of something. As a fellow man, how could he not know what his son was thinking about?
He probably would persuade Li Shi Ying to consummate the marriage after the engagement event ended. He couldn't wait until the marriage ceremony later so he wanted to set an engagement first. That must be it.
"Good, I'll be waiting" Long Ao Zhen nodded and took Li Shi Ying with him. He couldn't wait any longer but it shouldn't be a problem to wait for a few minutes.
"How is the preparation?" Li Shi Ying softly asked after they found a good spot to enjoy the night breeze. While waiting for the emperor to finish the preparation, why not use this chance to have a nice talk.
"It's almost done but father needs more time. I don't know what he's planning to do" Long Ao Zhen let out a small sigh as an answer. The man stared at the night sky and was lost in his own thought.
"...why do you use to hold engagement?" Li Shi Ying paused a bit before softly asked. The girl was curious. After all, Long Ao Zhen could just wait for a few months for the royal family to prepare for the wedding. Why he suddenly asked for engagement first? What's the difference between those two anyway?
"Huh??" Long Ao Zhen eyes widened in shock when Li Shi Ying asked. The man immediately covered his mouth with his hand afraid that he would blurt out the real thing he was thinking.
The man hurriedly changed what he was thinking and what was inside his heart so that those would be what he said. This is the trick to beat that troublesome curse!
Still, the man won't open his mouth if it wasn't necessary. Long Ao Zhen only stared at Li Shi Ying while blinking innocently. His hand was still there on his mouth preventing him from speaking.
"Why?" Li Shi Ying tilted her head when Long Ao Zhen covered his mouth in reflex. The man didn't answer yet but this only made Li Shi Ying more curious than ever. The girl leaned to the man and tried to pry open his hand which was covering his mouth. There must be a hidden plan this rascal is planning!
"Mnn mnn!" Long Ao Zhen shook his head and kept on covering his mouth. He wasn't confident that his true thought won't be known just by trying to think of something else instead. No! He can't spill the beans!
"Ahhh you are so persistent!" Li Shi Ying had just about to tickled Long Ao Zhen so that he would release his hand on that mouth when the emperor suddenly called the two of them in a loud voice disturbing her.
"Shi'er, my son, come here, quick. The event is about to start" The emperor waved his hand to the couple. Seeing the emperor already called them, Li Shi Ying had no choice but to immediately rush there. The girl purposely kicked Long Ao Zhen's leg before she approached the emperor.
"Y-Ying'er…" Long Ao Zhen saw the girl got away and he couldn't help but groan in slight pain. The man immediately limped over to the emperor's place with grievances written all over his face.
His bunny is too cruel!
"You two are here. Hurry, I'm about to announce the engagement. The tea is also ready" The emperor pushed the two of them to the centre of the ship before he gave the signal to the servants to bring a small red table with 2 cups of tea laying there.
"What should we do?" Li Shi Ying awkwardly stood while facing the crowds which by now already paid attention to her and Long Ao Zhen. Li Shi Ying silently asked Long Ao Zhen since she didn't really know about engagement tradition in the dragon race.
"Just wait until father asks us to sit side by side and exchange tea" Long Ao Zhen whispered answering Li Shi Ying.
Finally, they will be engaged tonight!
