Ch - 30 Marry Me?

"Umm.. Ahh!!"

At first, when Swayam kissed her, Xiao Lingxi felt a heavenly sensation and enjoyed the kiss but afterwards when she recalled her relationship with him, she cried out and sprang backwards like a frightened rabbit. Her fingers touched her numb lips as her beautiful eyes widened in surprise and a touch of red quickly spread from her fair face to the nape of her neck: "You… You… You kissed me again!!"

"I just couldn't resist that cute look of yours whenever you have while taking care of me." Swayam stated in a very straightforward manner: " And when we were younger, we always played our favorite Kiss Kiss game. But these days, you go into shock every time I try to kiss you."

'C-Cute!!'

"You-you-you… You knew that was when we were kids!" Xiao Lingxi's face flushed into the color of a red rose and continued became redder when she recalled him say that she was cute: "We're now adults and cannot afford to mess around! You… You are soon to have a wife! In the future you can only kiss your wife!"

"B-But I want to kiss you." Swayam said with a fabricated pitiful look.

"No, We can't!!" Xiao Lingxi said while gritting her teath.

"Why..."

"Because I'm your aunt and we are related!" Xiao Lingxi stomped her foot as she lost her breath.

"Then…. What if you were not my aunt and we are not actually related." Swayam intentionally and indirectly asked an hypothetical question to plant a seed of doubt inside her head.

"T-Then… You should marry me to kiss me!" Xiao Lingxi turned her nose up in anger however internally the situation was totally opposite as she internally thought to herself about, what if they were not actually related?

"I would love to marry you but sadly we can't since we are 'related'." Swayam sighed as he knew that if he pushed Xiao Lingxi too hard than she would most probably go to her father and directly ask him if, Swayam was actually related to them or not.

As she heard those words coming from Swayam's mouth and than the complicated sigh at the end, she also couldn't help herself and also sighed. But soon after, to get rid of this awkward silence she continued in a angry voice.

"Even you know that too! So if you dare steal another kiss, I'll let your wife know and let her handle you. Hmph hmph!" Xiao Lingxi looked at him triumphantly, with her nose in the air, although trying her best to hide her emotions.

As they both were about continue talking with eachother. Xiao Hong's voice came from outside once again: " Young master, are you ready? It's about time to go get the bride."

...

After looking in the eyes of Xiao Lingxi one more and heaving another sigh, Swayam again looked at his current outfit and got ready to leave while replying to old housekeeper Hong: "Yes, I'm coming out now."

But as he took two steps towards the door, Xiao Lingxi grabbed his hand and said with a serious face: "Xiao Che! Before leaving, repeat the promise we made yesterday, word for word, or I won't let you go."

Yesterday's promise? Swayam stopped in his place and started to think about what promise the original Xiao Che made with her but after not coming up with an answer he hastily ordered the A.I. Chip to implant the all memories of Xiao Che directly to his brain.

(This whole process took less than a second.)

After getting all the memories of Xiao Che, Swayam's 'Self' was still somewhat influenced by Xiao Che's memories. (It's like whenever we watch a show or a movie and starts to feel some emotions for the characters inside it type of influence.)

After sorting out his new memories and thinking for a while, he replied: "Alright…. after entering the marriage with Xia Qingyue, I won't forget about little xi just because I have a wife. I'll spend the same amount of time with little xi like before, I will listen to little xi's calls and would arrive as soon as I'm called just like before….I don't think I forgot a word."

"Huehue, what a good boy." Xiao Lingxi smiled sweetly after seeing him remembering all the promise but she still did not released his hand and sai: "However, we will be adding another one today, the one I forgot about yesterday…. Although Xia Qingyue is about to become your wife, in your heart she cannot outweigh me! Repeat that right now, hurry hurry hurry!"

As Swayam saw her expectant gaze focused on his face, he couldn't help himself and squeezed her cheeks while replying: "If you kiss me, I will make that promise."

"Then… marry me?" Xiao Lingxi replied in a somewhat serious yet somewhat joking manner.

"Young master, are you still not ready?" It's forbidden to be past the "auspicious time". Xiao Hong's urgent voice came from outside again.

"..." Swayam was defeated and whispered a somewhat cheesy reply before leaving: "Don't worry no one could ever outweigh you in my heart, you will always have a very special place inside it and even if I have a hundred wives, they cannot catch up to you. You are irreplaceable to me."

As his voice faded, he pushed the door open and left.

Xiao Lingxi stood still, frozen in place for a while after hearing his heartfelt words. An arc formed at the edge of her lips and she joyfully skipped out afterwards, like a girl who was given her favorite candy.

...

As Swayam walked out of the room, his gorgeous wedding team awaited his arrival and upon seeing him, Xiao Hong kindly smiled at him: "Young master, please get on the horse. Throughout the whole journey I will be protecting you with everything I have…. But of course, since today is young master's big day. I should not worry that much since there would only be good things that are waiting to happen."

"Thanks, Grandpa Hong." Swayam smiled at Xiao Hong for the encouraging words and got up on the horse, when suddenly a gentle voice came from his left:

"Looks like I came just at the right time. Is brother Xiao Che going to retrieve his bride now? Felicitations."

Upon hearing that voice Swayam turned his head towards the direction of its origin and spotted two young men slowly walking towards him.

The one whose voice he heard just now was a twenty year old young man of medium build. He was as handsome as he was elegant. His eyes were crystal clear on top of a refreshing face and he wore a bright smile. At his rear was a thinner younger man as he was following the owner of the previous voice.

After focusing and getting there identity Swayam smiled and said: "Oh it's brother Yulong and brother Xiao Yang, did you guys especially make this trip just to see me off?"

According to Xiao Che's memories, Xiao Yulong was the son of the leader of the Xiao clan.

At the age of twenty, regardless of his appearance, his talent, use of speech and wisdom was at the top of the younger generation in the Xiao clan.

His profound strength had even reached the third level of the Nascent Profound Realm at the moment.

He is his father, Xiao Yunhai's, pride and joy and is also the future hope of the Xiao clan. The clan had high expectations for him because he would become the next leader if no accidents should occur.

He possessed many good qualities but he had never been arrogant. He is the one who was kind and polite to everyone. Even towards Xiao Che, who was considered to be disabled in everyone's eyes. He has never mocked Xiao Che but instead was as gentle as he was polite. Not only that, he frequently expressed signs of concern when faced with Xiao Che's damaged profound vein problem.

...

Xiao Che had always liked Yulong. He admired and appreciated Yulong's kindness…. Of course, those were the feelings of the original Xiao Che.

...

As Swayam deep dived down Xiao Che's memories, he also identified the person walking behind Xiao Yulong was not that simple either.

He was not just an ordinary Xiao clan disciple; he was the Second Elder's youngest grandson, Xiao Yang. At the age of nineteen, he was at the 9th level of the Elementary Profound Realm.

Ever since he was a child, he always followed Xiao Yulong around and listened to his every word. However, he wasn't as kind to the the original as he was to Xiao Yulong. Even though they were both grandsons of the Elders, he never cared for him and whenever the original tried to strike up a conversation with him, he would either ignore or respond with an upturned nose.

...

As the grandson of a Xiao clan Elder, not only did the original have his own housing, but he also owned a separate little courtyard. Aside from his grandfather Xiao Lie, his aunt Xiao Lingxi, and his one best friend, very few people actually came to visit him.

And at this moment, Xiao Yulong came with Xiao Yang with the purpose of watching him go on his wedding journey.

...

"Haha, of course." Xiao Yulong approached with a hearty laugh and said: "The person you are marrying today is our Floating Cloud city's number one brightest jewel. This is not only our Xiao clan's big event but is also our Floating Cloud city's big event and since you have the chance to marry this treasure, your brother here is very happy for you. Of course, I am also envious and ashamed as well. Hahahaha."

Swayam who already knew who this 'brother' of Xiao Che actually was and what role he had towards the plot, felt disgusted to be standing near him but he controlled his face muscles and managed to give out a hearty smile and laughed: "Brother Yulong tells such a funny joke. With Brother Yulong's talent, the entire women population of Floating Cloud city is yours to pick from."

"Young master, we must get going." As they were about to further compliment each other Xiao Hong warned and again reminded Swayam.

...

"Brother Xiao Che, hurry up. We eagerly await for you to spectacularly bring in Floating Cloud city's brightest jewel into the Xiao clan." Xiao Yulong said with a smile.

After giving him a small nod of acknowledgment, Swayam immediately sat tight as the wedding escort team rode through the courtyard to the sound of the beating drums and gongs straight towards the Xia clan's home.
