Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 842 - Rich and Willful  



Chapter 842: Rich and Willful

This was a rare occurrence. Xiao Li had been on Instagram for many years and had gained many fans, but this was the first time she had 100,000 comments. Moreover, it had happened overnight.

She was ranked first on the trending searches list, and so was S,SB. This time, his comment was neither sarcastic nor vicious. He commented in the comments section: Why aren’t you sleeping? Why are you secretly taking photos of me?

Only then did Xiao Li’s fans realize that this anti-fan, who had been jumping around in her Instagram and Bruceins comments, and would not die no matter how many times her fans scolded her was Xiao Li’s ex-husband.

Immediately, the tone and content of the fans’ replies to Zhuang Long changed. They no longer scolded Zhuang Long, but the comments were all very loving.

KRIS: My heart aches for the ex-husband, who has been hunted down by us all these years.

BBQ: No wonder you’ve never been used to seeing Clarice and Bruce. So they’re in love with each other. That’s true. If it were me, I would be like you.

Bulabu: That’s not the point. The point is, is Clarice and her ex-husband getting back together again!?

Beauty: Am I the only one who thinks that her ex-husband is actually very good-looking?

Clarice silently replied to Beauty: [You have good taste, just like me.]

Beauty replied instantly: [Ah! Clarice has replied.]

After reading Xiao Li’s reply to Beauty, they immediately sensed a public display of affection. It seemed that Clarice would only reply to those who spoke well of her ex-husband. Hence, another large group of fence sitters appeared in the comments section, praising her ex-husband for his good figure and expertise.

Xiao Li smiled and sat down in the dining room.

The crucian carp porridge was brewed by Zhuang Long himself. It did not have a strong fishy smell. It tasted soft and smooth, and was especially delicious.

After taking a few bites, Xiao Li picked up her phone and sent a text.

Xiao Li: Hey. Look over here. The ten people who praise someone under this status will receive a handbag from the L family that has just been launched this season~

She was rich, but willful.

In the blink of an eye, the comments section went crazy.

Only then did Xiao Li realize that her fans were all talented people. Her fans all praised Zhuang Long as a peerless beauty. Some Chinese who climbed over the firewall described him in elegant ancient quotes from poems.

CHINA—BABY: Some gentlemen have been refined like jades with cutting tools.

There were also obedient fans who could speak well. Their message said—

I don’t know if he’s good or not, but you love him, so he’s good in every way. Since you love him, when I look at him, I also think he’s good in every way.

These words made Xiao Li quite happy.

Zhuang Long saw that Xiao Li was still holding her phone while eating breakfast. He frowned and reached out to snatch her phone away. When he saw what was on the screen, his expression warmed slightly. He put the phone in his pocket. Zhuang Long said, “Have breakfast. After breakfast, we’ll go shopping.”

“Huh?” Zhuang Qilin had been so busy eating porridge that he hadn’t noticed his parents’ interaction. When he heard this, he hurriedly looked up and asked Zhuang Long, “What are you going to buy?”

Xiao Li was also puzzled. “You want to buy something?”

Zhuang Long said, “We will buy something for us.”

“Buy what?”

“Take a guess.”

After the meal, Zhuang Long drove Xiao Li and Zhuang Qilin to the shop in New York City where the Coronation of Love was held. Although the Coronation of Love was a jewelry brand, its products were not only jewelry, but also watches. Xiao Li thought that Zhuang Long was here to buy a watch.

After entering the shop, Zhuang Long took out a purple VIP membership card. The sales assistant, who was wearing white gloves, took the card respectfully. She checked it on the computer, then returned the membership card to Zhuang Long and said, “Wait a moment. The items have arrived. I’ll go get them.”

Zhuang Long brought Xiao Li and Zhuang Qilin to sit down on the sofa in the resting area. The service staff was a young lady. She served coffee to the three of them.

“Dad, what did you buy?” As Zhuang Qilin asked, his gaze fell on the luxurious jewelry on the counter.

Xiao Li had many accessories, but that didn’t stop her from admiring beautiful things.

Zhuang Long said, “Good stuff.”

After a while, the shop assistant in charge of receiving Zhuang Long walked over with a tray. On the tray were three velvet blue boxes. She placed a box on the table and opened it with gloved hands. Inside the box were three rings of the same design but of different sizes.

Xiao Li and Zhuang Qilin both stared at the ring, surprised.

Zhuang Long said, “Qilin is still growing. I ordered a ring for him that can adjust over time.” He gestured for the shop assistant to take out Zhuang Qilin’s ring. The shop assistant did as he was told and put the ring on Zhuang Qilin’s finger. The ring was a little bigger. The shop assistant bent down and adjusted it for Zhuang Qilin, and the ring became as thick as his finger.

Zhuang Qilin sized up the ring, somewhat satisfied.

“Not bad.” Actually, not bad at all.

Zhuang Long ignored Zhuang Qilin. He suddenly stood up and bent down to take off the lady’s ring. Holding the lady’s ring, he walked to Xiao Li and knelt on one knee.

Xiao Li was indeed surprised and a little flustered.

Zhuang Long held one of her hands. Xiao Li suddenly calmed down.

“We even had a child. We even got a divorce once. We didn’t even buy a wedding ring…” Towards the end, Zhuang Long’s voice lowered. Xiao Li looked down at Zhuang Long, his throat moving for a while before she said hoarsely, “It’s okay, I’m fine.”

“It’s related,” Zhuang Long said. “There’s no reason to get married without a ring.”

Xiao Li added, “We’re not husband and wife now.”

“That’s why I want to propose to you.”

Zhuang Long raised the ring and looked up at Xiao Li, gazing into her eyes. Xiao Li’s eyes were a little moist, probably because she was touched. No matter how calm and composed a woman was, her heart would still race when her lover proposed. She was embarrassed.

Zhuang Long saw Xiao Li’s shy expression and his heart began to ache again.

“Ah Li.” Every time he called her Ah Li, his tone was especially gentle.

Xiao Li’s entire body went limp.

Zhuang Long asked her, “Are you willing to marry this stupid and conceited man again?”

Thinking of the stupid things he had done to Xiao Li in the past, Zhuang Long felt extremely guilty. “I don’t know what to say to accurately express my love for you. All I can promise is that in the future, when you wake up every morning, I’ll prepare breakfast for you. When you come back from working overtime at night, I’ll definitely leave a lamp in the room lit for you. I still love my work, and I’ll still be obsessed with all kinds of research. But I’ll put down all the work I’m doing and go to you when you and the child need me.”

“Ah Li, let’s get married.”

Xiao Li’s face was covered in tears.

She looked at the man in front of her and the ring on his finger. When she spoke, her voice was choked with emotion. “I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.”
