Chapter 370: The Grand Finale: Proposal
Jiang Xi was the most capable person in the mental hospital, and she was also the one who could cause the most trouble. At this moment, she was wearing a patient’s garb and walking around the mental hospital. When she reached the door of her former ward, she realized that a man was staying in the ward next to hers.
“Stay away from him,” the nurse leading the way said. “I heard that he molested many women and is mentally unstable, so I threw him here for treatment.”
“Is he mentally ill?” Jiang Xi asked. She looked at the man, and the man was also looking at her. No, to be precise, he was looking at her body.
Jiang Xi turned to the side and suddenly said, “As the saying goes, a hundred years of hard work will bring you to the same ferry, and a thousand years of hard work will bring you to the same hospital. So… Big brother, what if you drink too much while riding the motorcycle?”
The man inside was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Jiang Xi to suddenly talk to him and even ask him a question. He deliberated for a moment before saying, “I don’t drink and drive. I’ll park the motorcycle after I’m drunk and ride it when I’m sober.” Jiang Xi said, “Oh.”
“Why are you asking this?” The young nurse asked Jiang Xi in confusion.
Jiang Xi did not answer. Instead, she grabbed a passing mentally ill patient and said, “What would you do if it was you?”
The patient replied with a righteous expression, “The director said that we can’t drive drunk, but what if we lose the motorcycle? So, we must have come back while carrying the motorcycle! Stupid!” The man rolled his eyes at the man in the room.
The man’s expression suddenly became serious. He stared at Jiang Xi with a venomous look in his eyes. Jiang Xi looked at him with a smile and said bluntly, “You’re really different from us.” It was not difficult for a mental patient to pretend to be a normal person, but it was very difficult for a normal person to pretend to be a mental patient. Perhaps one could be careful and cautious most of the time, but as a normal person, it was very difficult to understand the brain of a mental patient. A fake mental patient would give up his motorcycle because he could not drive drunk, but to a mental patient, things could not be given up, so they had to be carried.
Jiang Xi walked around the mental hospital and dealt with many people who had escaped legal sanctions under the name of mental illness. When she returned, she faced Zhao Dengqi who was kneeling on one knee. “Wife, we haven’t gotten our marriage certificate yet.”
Jiang Xi was confused. They had gotten pregnant before marriage and had three children, but they did not have a marriage certificate!
Zhao Dengqi had made countless preparations for this moment. The villa was almost completely redecorated. The modern villa had been transformed into an ancient high gate courtyard. Two stone lions were placed at the entrance, making it look exceptionally mighty and domineering.
There were also a few plots of land inside the perimeter wall, which were planted with flowers. A small pond was dug out, and in the middle was a small round pavilion, which was hung with beautiful red lanterns. It was as if they had returned to ancient times. This villa had the convenience of a modern era and also had an ancient and simple texture. Jiang Xi’s eyes welled up with tears as soon as he entered.
Zhao Dengqi stood at the entrance with a smile on his face, just like the time when he was at the entrance of the general’s office. “Welcome back, my empress.” He stepped forward and gently held Jiang Xi in his arms. The embrace of peace and the smell of peace made Jiang Xi feel at ease. He felt calm and peaceful.
“You’re the only one who remembers that I’m the empress.” Jiang Xi said in a muffled voice as she buried herself in Zhao Dengqi’s arms. She had been very happy during this period of time, but she was not at ease. Without Zhao Dengqi, she could not feel at ease.
“Your people all remember. They only recognize you as their empress.” Zhao Dengqi gently stroked Jiang Xi’s head and lowered his head to kiss her cheek. He wanted to tell her that she could build her own empire in modern society if she wanted to, but he did not dare to say it when he thought of Jiang Xi’s serious character.
The triplets hid behind them and whispered, “Everyone says that mom and dad love each other, and the three of us are just accidents. It seems like it’s true. Didn’t they notice our existence?”
Erbao put on a bitter face and looked as if he had a deep grudge. He saw Zhao Dengqi and Jiang Xi hugging each other at the entrance, and they did not think of their children. What was even more terrifying was that in such a short time, her father came in with her mother in his arms and even closed the door with a bang. The door almost hit their noses.
The triplets were speechless.
After a long while, the sound of footsteps could be heard from inside the room. Jiang Xi ran over in a hurry. “Hey, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I forgot about you guys.”
Sanbao raised her head and saw Jiang Xi’s face was ruddy. Her mouth was red and swollen, and her hair was a little messy.
Sanbao sighed. It was too difficult to take care of her parents this time. However, she liked her current life. Her parents were by her side and they lived harmoniously. As for those bad people in the dark, they would be punished by heaven, right?.
