630: Chapter 120: The Eve of the Grand Wedding 630: Chapter 120: The Eve of the Grand Wedding While Gu Xiaoxi was deep in thought, there was a knock at the door.
“Co in!”
The office door opened, and it turned out to be Mr.
Luo.
Gu Xiaoxi imdiately stood up, greeted him with a beaming smile, “Mr.
Luo, do you need sothing from ?”
“Although you’ve only been on two missions, both were of great significance.
It’s enough to show your strength!
Naturally, I had to see my capable officer!” Luo Jie said with a grin.
Gu Xiaoxi’s performance on this mission had earned everyone’s recognition, which was no easy feat.
This was also sothing unprecedented in the International Alliance.
“You flatter , sir.
I just did what I had to, and was lucky to have friends helping .” Gu Xiaoxi dared not take all the credit, knowing that she wouldn’t have managed the situation alone without Yun Xiao and Young Master Quan.
As for Lan Xi, Gu Xiaoxi felt that before she regained her mory,
she was only an illusory existence.
“No, I heard them say you have the ability to bring the dead back to life!” Luo Jie imdiately exclaid excitedly.
Gu Xiaoxi was taken aback, glancing down at him.
With that, she understood the purpose of Luo Jie’s visit.
“Mr.
Luo, I won’t lie to you.
Although I have so special abilities, resurrecting the dead is beyond my reach.
As for that day, the reason I saved everyone was purely because I was possessed by a god.
It was the god who saved them, not ,” Gu Xiaoxi said earnestly.
No matter what, this was not sothing she could keep hidden.
It would be unrealistic to say it was her past life.
She had no choice but to sidestep with a half-truth.
Hearing this, Luo Jie looked at Gu Xiaoxi, half-believing and half-doubting, “Are you sure you’re not deceiving ?”
“Absolutely not.
Although I can heal so wounds, I definitely do not have the power to bring the dead back to life.
You can ask anyone else.
If I could, we wouldn’t have had so many casualties in the last fight with the Giant Rat,” Gu Xiaoxi said seriously.
Luo Jie nodded in understanding upon hearing this.
Although he was skeptical, he couldn’t force Gu Xiaoxi to confess given her firm declaration.
As for the truth, that remained to be verified!
After seeing off Luo Jie,
Gu Xiaoxi shared part of the bonus with everyone, keeping a portion for Ya.
Young Master Quan certainly wasn’t interested in the money, so Gu Xiaoxi divided her own share equally among everyone as well.
Each mber of the two teams got two hundred million as a bonus.
The remaining two billion were left for Ya.
He had been of great help!
It was only natural to offer him thanks!
She didn’t want to owe too many favors to others.
At noon, Jing Rui invited Gu Xiaoxi to have lunch together.
The dining hall of the International Alliance was comparable to a five-star hotel.
You could order whatever you wanted.
Gu Xiaoxi loved the big crabs here, and certainly wouldn’t miss out.
Under Gu Xiaoxi’s influence, Yun Xiao and Jing Haoran both ca to enjoy them as well.
Everyone sat at one table, ordering lots of dishes.
“Xiao Xi, you perford excellently this ti.
As long as at the beginning of next month, your team can be selected as a First-class Combat Team.
Then, you will be able to take on major cases exclusively.
And as for smaller cases, you are free to take them on if you wish,” Jing Rui said happily.
Gu Xiaoxi was puzzled, “There are rankings for teams?
How co I wasn’t aware of this?”
“There are many things you don’t know.
Since we’ve been here, one thing after another has co up.
When would you have had the ti to worry about this?” Jing Haoran said, his speech muffled as he chewed on a crab leg.
Gu Xiaoxi nodded.
Indeed, she had been so busy lately that even when she had spare monts,
she focused on familiarizing herself with the environnt here and spending ti with the child.
Now that Jing Rui ntioned it, this was good news.
Teams could be ranked; no wonder the elders always got first dibs on choosing missions.
“However, getting ranked isn’t so easy,” Yun Xiao spoke earnestly, “the other teams have to vote.
In the end, the team with the most votes is selected.”
Gu Xiaoxi nodded in understanding, “It doesn’t matter.
Whether it’s small tasks or big ones, as long as we can take them on, we will.
As for whether we get upgraded, that’s out of our hands.
Don’t forget I’m taking leave at the beginning of the month; rember my wedding on the 16th next month.”
“How could anyone forget such an important affair!
Just wait, we will definitely prepare red envelopes and gifts,” Jing Haoran said with a hint of sourness in his tone.
“After all these twists and turns, you’re still marrying Shaoqing.”
“What?
Are you not wishing happiness?” Gu Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows, giving him a cold look.
Jing Haoran imdiately held up three fingers, swearing, “Not at all.
I give my blessings!
In this world, only he is worthy of you.
I wholeheartedly agree.”
“Hmph!” Gu Xiaoxi, holding her cup and sipping her wine while enjoying the crab, curved her lips into a blissful smile.
She was determined to marry Young Master Quan.
As for Jing Haoran, he could stay wherever the weather suited him best.
“Xiao Xi, rest assured.
We’ll all attend the wedding.
Congratulations on finding your true love,” Jing Rui said, lifting his glass with a radiant smile.
At the sa ti, he genuinely felt happy for Gu Xiaoxi.
“Thank you!” Gu Xiaoxi smiled blissfully.
Her delicate face was aglow with the light of spring.
She looked exactly like a little woman madly in love.
Afterwards, Gu Xiaoxi t many higher-ups and had gained a certain degree of fa in the International Alliance.
With the recognition of many veterans, her support was also incredibly strong.
Soon, more than half a month had passed.
Gu Xiaoxi was preparing for her wedding, and headquarters had granted her half a month’s leave.
That afternoon, when work ended, Quan Shaoqing ca to pick her up early to take her ho.
Before leaving, Luo Jie even promised Gu Xiaoxi that he would attend her wedding.
The event would undoubtedly be very grand.
When Jing Mingcheng got the news, he was over the moon.
If Luo Jie could co to Liuli Country, it would be of significant importance to the nation.
Even if it was simply attending Quan Shaoqing and Gu Xiaoxi’s wedding, he could et him then.
Acknowledging Gu Xiaoxi was also an acknowledgent of Liuli Country.
This step further integrated Liuli Country into the world and marked yet another extraordinary milestone.
Quan Shaoqing held Gu Xiaoxi’s hand as they returned ho.
“Xiao Xi, I have so good news to tell you,” Quan Shaoqing said, his expression sowhat excited.
“What good news?” Gu Xiaoxi was puzzled.
She had only been away from ho for half a month, what could make him so joyous?
“Follow and you’ll know,” he said.
Quan Shaoqing led her by the hand, walking briskly towards his study.
As they pushed open the door, Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze naturally fell on a square display stand not far away.
Carefully covered with a glass do on the display stand was a very large egg, adorned with golden patterns the size of a soup bowl.
Wasn’t this the Dragon Egg they had found in Qing State a few months ago?
“I used light to create an environnt suitable for the Dragon Egg to hatch, brought in experts, and now, look—the patterns are becoming clearer, and you can even see the cracks forming on the surface.
It indicates that the Dragon Egg will soon hatch,” Quan Shaoqing said, his eyes shining as he stared at the Dragon Egg.
Gu Xiaoxi squinted her eyes and noticed several distinct traces along the patterns on the Dragon Egg.
“But don’t get too excited yet.
What if it’s not a dragon inside but a snake?
That would be a problem,” Gu Xiaoxi said, not to dampen Quan Shaoqing’s spirits but stating the plain truth.
After all, it might be a Snake King who claid it was a Dragon Egg, and that wasn’t necessarily so.
“Don’t worry!
A snake wouldn’t emit such a golden radiance; this is definitely a dragon.
I am looking forward to it,” Quan Shaoqing said, wrapping his arms around Gu Xiaoxi’s waist and smiling happily.
“…” Gu Xiaoxi looked down at the Dragon Egg, her eyes twinkling with brilliant golden light.
She had never seen a dragon and wondered if it could pair up with Little Phoenix.
However, upon reflection, Little Phoenix had only appeared once and then vanished without a trace.
Where had that rascal gone to?
Had the Nascent Soul not killed it, only to have it sealed away again?
The next day at noon, Gu Xiaoxi was idly playing video gas at ho.
Ironically, preparing for a wedding seed hectic, yet the bride and groom were quite at leisure.
Quan Shaoqing brought a cup of milk to Gu Xiaoxi’s side and watched her play her ga.
“Xiao Xi, the wedding dress will be delivered later.
Try it on first!
Tomorrow we still have to shoot a VCR to thank all the guests.
You might be a bit busy during this ti,” he said.
Without looking up, Gu Xiaoxi replied, “It’s not arduous.
The busiest people will likely be my parents and Uncle Jing.”
At this remark, Quan Shaoqing couldn’t help but laugh.
It was strange; although it was their wedding, Jing Mingcheng was the one running around frantically.
Every day he discussed with Quan Gui whom to invite.
anwhile, Gu Xiaoxi and Quan Shaoqing were the least busy, with just friends, family, and work colleagues to invite.
Once the wedding invitations were sent out, that was it.
“The wedding venue is at Huayu Central Royal Resort.
Uncle Jing found this place especially for our wedding,” Quan Shaoqing continued.
Gu Xiaoxi simply nodded in response.
She didn’t seem to care how many people attended or how grand the venue was.
In her heart, all that mattered was marrying Quan Shaoqing.
As for the glory and the halo, they were optional to her.
Seeing his wife’s nonchalant expression, Quan Shaoqing raised an eyebrow.
