After a long while, Qi Min finished reading and put down his personal terminal, letting out a long sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know these regulations were so harsh on you. I've always known that some systems are unfair to you, but I never thought they would be this unfair."
My previous statement still stands. I am willing to grant you all permissions and provide written proof that granting these permissions is entirely voluntary on my part, and this proof will be notarized.
Qi Min waited quietly for Ling Yi's response. He knew that his decision might cause a huge uproar, but he also understood.
Only in this way can the unfair system between them be broken. Qi Min hoped that Ling Yi could feel his sincerity.
Ling Yi's eyes widened slightly, his face filled with disbelief. His gaze was complex, containing doubt, surprise, and a hint of barely perceptible panic.
Ling Yi's gaze was fixed on Qi Min, trying to find a trace of falsehood or hesitation in the male insect's expression, but all he saw was sincerity and determination.
Ling Yi stared blankly at the male insect in front of him, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin.
Ling Yi originally thought that the male insect would change his mind and go back on his word after reading it.
Unexpectedly, Qi Min said something like that, leaving him speechless for a moment.
………………
"Actually, I also have something I want to say to you." Qi Min changed the subject.
"What?" Ling Yi responded subconsciously.
"Actually, I can sense that you don't like me right now, but I still want to ask you, Ling Yi, may I pursue you?"
Qi Min stared intently into Ling Yi's eyes, his expression extremely serious.
"Wh...what?" Ling Yi was a little surprised. The topic had changed too quickly, and Ling Yi's reaction was a bit slow.
"Can I pursue you?" Qi Min repeated.
"But I am already your legal partner..."
Looking at Qi Min's serious expression, Ling Yi was somewhat at a loss.
“I know, but I don’t want to be just a assigned partner with you. I want to be your real partner.” Qi Min stated his meaning clearly.
"I don't quite understand what you mean..."
Ling Yi was somewhat skeptical of what she had heard. What did they mean by "real partner"? They had already registered for their pairing.
"What I mean is very simple: I like you, and I want to date you!"
Qi Min spoke softly and decisively, stating his purpose directly and taking out a box. Inside lay two plain rings.
The two rings are simple and pure, without any fancy decorations, yet they exude a low-key elegance in their most authentic form.
"I bought this when I went out today, and I wanted to give it to you as a wedding gift for us today."
Although it seems a bit inappropriate now, I still want to give it to you, and I hope you can accept it.
Qi Min placed the box in front of Ling Yi, his eyes gentle yet earnest.
"What will happen to the powerful ruler if I refuse?"
Ling Yi looked quietly at the two plain rings in front of him, and slowly spoke, seemingly in a simple question as well as a test.
"It's not good, it might be a little sad."
Qi Min thought for a moment, tilted his head slightly and smiled before answering.
"Heartbroken?" Ling Yi repeated, his voice a mix of murmur and question.
"Of course, it's hurtful to be rejected by someone you like, so... are you going to reject me?"
Qi Min lowered his voice and slowly asked Ling Yi.
"Of course not, put it on now."
Ling Yi remained silent for only a few seconds before looking up at Qi Min, a slight smile on his lips, but his eyes remained calm.
"I'll put it on you!"
Qi Min's brows relaxed, and his voice was filled with joy.
Qi Min didn't care about Ling Yi's aloofness and wariness towards him. After seeing those harsh rules, Ling Yi's behavior was actually normal.
Besides, the person is already his, there's plenty of time, the world is safe, he can take his time.
Qi Min put the ribbons on himself and Ling Yi while saying something to him.
"I still hope you'll call me by my name, not 'Lord.' In the days to come, I hope you'll continue to be like this... and not reject my feelings."
'He doesn't reject me either...' Qi Min thought to himself, but his face remained expressionless, still wearing a smile.
"Alright, you probably still have things to take care of. I'm going to rest now. The medicine is in your room, remember to change it yourself. See you tomorrow, my new husband."
The setting sun cast its last rays on Qi Min's retreating figure as he descended the stairs, a figure that appeared solitary and aloof...
The night was deep and quiet. Ling Yi sat alone on the terrace for a long time before returning to his room.
After washing up, she suddenly realized that she hadn't brought any spare clothes. The outfit she was wearing was one she had grabbed casually before coming to Qi Min's house.
Although I had washed it clean, I didn't have any change of clothes. Just as I was about to make do, I saw the message on the computer that was placed outside.
Oh, by the way, I bought you new clothes. I've washed them and put them in your closet. Get some rest, goodnight.
Ling Yi looked at the message, opened the wardrobe in the room, and saw brand new, clean clothes neatly arranged inside.
Ling Yi gently stroked the clothes and slowly changed into them. The size was perfect, and the fabric was very soft.
Ling Yi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Qi Min, in the next room, also couldn't sleep after sending the message. He got up and sat by the window, quietly waiting for sleepiness to come, just like before.
On their first day of marriage, the couple slept in separate rooms. In the quiet night, each with their own worries, they found it difficult to fall asleep.
