Chapter 136(1): Trial Marriage

 

Before, when Ling Xuan made a tactful but high-profile oath of sovereignty on Weibo, a large number of people clamored about being broken in love. However, when they learned that the girl Ling Xuan liked was a beautiful girl who also had super popularity as an Ancient Chinese food therapist, Ling Yaoyao, even the most demanding people couldn't say that they didn't match each other.

Many people have since become CP fans of the two. They went to the two people's Weibo homepage every day to wait for more dog food.

It's a pity that only Ling Yaoyao posted Weibo during the period, and it was only some food teaching videos.

In the past, everyone liked to lick the screen of Ling Yaoyao's food video the most. Even if you can't eat the food, you can see and smell the realistic aroma and enjoy it!

However, as if a strange switch was turned on, everyone feels that food can no longer satisfy them! A large group of people screaming for sugary dog food.

Ling Xuan has been busy and never reappeared on Weibo. Everyone can understand that as a major general of the empire, Ling Xuan is busy with military affairs.

The major general is just rather boring, not accustomed to show affection. However, he must privately be very sweet and affectionate to their goddess Yaoyao!

There are also a very small number of people who questioned whether they thought wrong and thought too much before? Maybe Ling Xuan and Ling Yaoyao are actually just normal sibling interactions. Although they are both in love, maybe each of them has a different lover?

Maybe they didn't want to expose their true lover yet, so they acquiesced in everyone's misunderstanding?

Some also said that even if they are really a pair, the interaction between the two people is likely to be just a show. In fact, this is just a business marriage!

Anyone with a bit of knowledge knows that Ling Yaoyao is actually the daughter of the Wei family. The strong combination of the Ling and the Wei family is, of course, should be solidified by marriage!

If they don't really love each other, naturally, they won't be happy to show off every day.

There are not many people who recognize the above speculation. The majority of CP fans also criticize these people. However, the initiator of this kind of remark asked, "Then what reason do you have to prove that it is not a show, and instead, it is true love?"

Many people answered angrily:

"My male god always speaks by strength. There is no need to make a show, let alone about marriage!"

"My goddess Yaoyao is so beautiful and talented. She is also the little princess of the Ling and Wei family. Even if she doesn't marry, she doesn't need to make a show. Let alone about marriage!"

But these are just speculations they take for granted. There is no evidence that the two of them love each other. After all, the two people have never officially publicly recognized the identity of the other's boyfriend (girlfriend).

Maybe they really misunderstood. Maybe this is just a mixed up.

Until this day, Ling Xuan's general's award ceremony was broadcasted live across the country!

The media across the board did not receive the news in advance. Although Ling Xuan chose to make it public, he did not like to make public announcements.

Many people couldn't help crying when the stage was playing Ling Xuan's previous battle records and injuries in the early stage. Some people who didn't like Ling Xuan's cold style before instantly became fans.

It turns out that this man has paid so much behind their back. He protected the peace of the empire and the safety of the people! But he has never deliberately talked about it.

When Ling Xuan appeared on the podium, everyone desperately licked the screen! Oh my god, how can this man be so handsome! He is even more beautiful than those celebrity models in the entertainment industry who rely on their faces to eat!

The straight military uniform on his body is authoritative and sexy. Many little fans are blushing, but they are unreservedly confessing on the live broadcast platform:

"Mr. God of war, marry me!"

"My male X me!"

"Male god, I want to give you a monkey!"

"Male god is so handsome that people can't close their legs!"

The style was very fanatical until someone silently reminded them:

"The God of War has a master, okay? It's the goddess Yaoyao! Nymphos retreats!"

After a weird silence, everyone began to pretend that the one who screamed just now was not themselves.

"I accidentally send the wrong message. It's all the fault of the voice recognition system!"

"It was my cat just pressing the virtual keyboard!"

"Hey, I didn't say anything!"

"My account was stolen!"

A very small part of discordant voices ran out and said, Ling Xuan did not have Ling Yaoyao's exclusive label. Even if they were really in love, maybe they would break up after two days?

As a result, these people were severely slapped in the face in the next moment!

Ling Xuan removed his usual arrogant and indifferent expression, knelt down on one knee in public, and solemnly proposed to Ling Yaoyao!

The sentence "...until death separates us" is simple and romantic, but everyone can see that Ling Xuan is sincere.

Such a man who can still remain calm and steady in the danger of life and death, and who is indifferent in the face of the supreme glory, but in order to propose to his beloved girl, he is willing to lower his arrogant head and cautiously wait for her to respond.

Ling Xuan and Ling Yaoyao are both extremely good. If they were not with each other, any other person would appear as a high climber.

They are attracted to each other, so it is normal for them to choose each other!

But now, when they faced their beloved person, they still acted like ordinary people, happy, nervous, eager, and joyful.

If this is not love, what is it?

The cold and solemn picture becomes warm, romantic, and beautiful. Even the god of war also has a tender side.

Ling Yaoyao was so touched that her eyes were wet. She was sobbing with joy but immediately amused by Ling Xuan's sweet and terrifying coercion.

These two people only have room for each other in their eyes. Everyone feels that these people were showing off and their little hearts have been abused, but they still can't bear to blink. They are just insignificant outsiders, but they are also very important witnesses!

Seeing the scene where Ling Yaoyao actively and awkwardly wanted to kiss the God of War Ling Xuan, but only kissed the chin, the comment area couldn't help sending out a large gesture of, "Hahahahahaha!"

"Distressed for Goddess Yaoyao. In other words, the physique of the goddess has improved. Why is she not taller?"

"The cutest height difference!"

 

"It's so sweet. I don't want to see it anymore!"

With a full-screen pink bubble effect, the soft kiss between the two afterward was hailed as "the sweetest kiss of the empire of the year"!

After this kiss, everyone saw Ling Xuan sticking to Ling Yaoyao's ear, and who knows what he said...

Then everyone saw their goddess Yaoyao, who was still enthusiastic and active just now. Her ears and cheeks instantly burst into red. She exclaimed in a daze, "What do you mean that the entire empire has seen it?"

After saying this, she seemed to realize that her silly and cute appearance was also seen. She quickly covered her mouth, burying her face in general Ling Xuan's arms like an ostrich!

Then Ling Xuan hugged the girl's slender waist tightly and smiled cheerfully, "The whole empire knows that you have promised to marry me. You are not allowed to go back on your words."

Then the little girl's soft and muffled voice, "I regret it. You are a big bad ghost!"

The audience clutched their little hearts one after another, and suddenly they had the urge to change channels!

The portion of this dog food is too large. Everyone feels that it's a bit too much.

On the other side, General Ling Xuan, who has successfully proposed, happily embraces his beautiful woman. As for how many people are secretly choked up, that is not something he cares about.

The Ling family was very clear about Ling Xuan's marriage proposal. The pink love bubbles on the screen were Shen Yunjin's idea. She finally acted like his mother.

Although the Wei family didn't know about this in advance, they had a foreboding because they received a visit from the Ling family. They asked that they would not tell Ling Yaoyao first, as there would be something after the ceremony of awarding Ling Xuan.

They also informed the Wei family in advance that the award ceremony would be broadcasted publicly.

If it wasn't for Ling Yaoyao's life-long event, how could the Ling family go to the Wei family's house for a visit, and mysteriously ask them to keep it a secret from Ling Yaoyao, and deliberately mention the award ceremony?

The Wei family watched the live broadcast of Ling Xuan's award ceremony, and they were all silent at once.

Wei Ling and Qian Yao had seen these two young people's sweet and crooked appearances many times when they were in the Tarzhers Star Territory. Ling Xuan had always introduced Ling Yaoyao as his "fiancée" to the outside world at that time.

They later discovered that they were not officially engaged, but the Wei family had already known and acquiesced. Ling Xuan took the risk to find them in the Tarzhers Star Territory because he has a love affair with their daughter, who is not close to them. They absolutely have no position to raise objections.

Grandpa Wei laughed and scolded, "The Ling family's boy usually looks quite honest, but he has done a good job of robbing a girl from our Wei family. He is determined that Little Yaoyao will not refuse him."

Grandma Wei also smiled and said, "Even though they get engaged, Yaoyao is still the daughter of our Wei family. She doesn't belong to their Ling family. However, our family still has a God of War son-in-law, so it doesn't hurt at all."

Wei Ling and Qian Yao looked at each other before Wei Ling took the lead, saying, "We are her parents, but we have not provided her with good support. The matter of marriage depends entirely on Yaoyao's own wishes. Anyway, it's just an engagement now. Yaoyao is not yet 20 years old. There are still more than six years until she reached the age of marriage, and there is still a chance that they might change their minds. The Wei family will always be Yaoyao's backing. If Ling Xuan dares to treat her badly, our family is not easy to bully."

 

As a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, Qian Yao is more satisfied at Ling Xuan. "I think Ling Xuan is sincere and will definitely treat Yaoyao well. It's okay to settle down earlier. Otherwise, with Ling Xuan's kind of achievements, who knows how many girls are staring at him to marry!"

Even Wei Zuo and Wei You, two small children, also expressed some opinions.

Wei Zuo curled his lips. "My sister is really stupid. She was abducted so easily. But even though that guy is very fierce to us, he is good to my sister..."

Wei You laughed. "My sister is great, and the brother-in-law she found is also very good! Well, mother, why don't we adopt a sister? I heard that Brother-in-law was my sister's brother!"

Qian Yao: "..."

After the award ceremony, Ling Yaoyao didn't have time to continue to stick to Ling Xuan. Shen Yunjin took her back to the Ling family's old mansion. After Ling Xuan was promoted to general in the military, he had to deal with identity verification procedures and the successive promotions of capable subordinates.

For example, Cheng Bin's position was promoted to a major general from a colonel. Ling Xuan also has to train a new adjutant in the future because Cheng Bin will become his capable officer.

Others also have their own promotions.

Ling Yaoyao finally learned from Shen Yunjin that tomorrow they would go to the Wei family to visit formally, propose marriage, and discuss the wedding date by the way.

Shen Yunjin then explained to Ling Yaoyao in detail that Ling Xuan hoped to get married directly. However, if the Wei family or Ling Yaoyao has doubts, they can get engaged first.

The life expectancy of people in the interstellar age is generally three to five hundred years, and the legal age for marriage is 25 years old.

Because Ling Yaoyao is not yet 25 years old, generally speaking, she can only get engaged first. This rule is to prevent young people from getting married on impulse but cannot bear the various obligations and responsibilities that come with the marriage.

Engagement also has to go through legal procedures. There is a legally binding part, which can be regarded as a "trial marriage," which is more serious and solemn than dating, but it does not have as many restrictions as a formal marriage.

When Ling Yaoyao reaches 25 years old, the relationship will automatically be promoted to formal marriage if the two do not terminate their engagement.

Before Ling Yaoyao was 25 years old, the engagement relationship would automatically be promoted to marriage if the two had children.

For engagements in which both parties are over 25 years old, they can negotiate a "trial marriage" period by themselves. This period cannot exceed three years at most, and it will automatically be converted into a formal marriage when the period expires.

This can ease many people's resistance or doubts towards marriage.

In the interstellar age, everyone's life has become longer, but love is easily consumed by time. In order to ensure social stability, the fines required for divorce are very high, especially for the party who betrayed their marriage.

Therefore, few people will get married so early if they are not very sure. The "trial period" brought about by engagement is also very necessary. Eighty percent of people will choose to get engaged first and then get promoted to formal marriage if appropriate.

If the engagement ceremony is held in a big way, generally speaking, the wedding ceremony will not be held again. It is enough to invite relatives and friends to dinner and gather together.

If people want to marry directly after they are 18 years old but less than 25 years old, they cannot get married unless they get all their parent's consent and signature.

Regardless of the fact that the Wei family has a little objection, it is because this is only an engagement and a trial marriage. Any party could terminate the engagement at any time if they were dissatisfied.

Ling Yaoyao had never studied such a complicated marriage system in the Interstellar Age before, which was a bit daunting.

Shen Yunjin only thought that her daughter was too silly and sweet. She taught her about the difference but did not force her to make a decision. After speaking, she left Ling Yaoyao alone to give her some space.

Ling Yaoyao thought about it for a long time but didn't know whether to get engaged first or get married directly?

For her, her heart has identified Ling Xuan, and there is no need for a "trial marriage."

She will only turn nineteen years old in a few months. She was indeed afraid of being bound if she got married so early. She still wanted to enjoy the sweet freedom of love for a while without so many constraints.

So Ling Yaoyao decided to consult her two mothers on her personal optical brain.
