Chapter 425, 5 day remaining.
Han City. Beichen Garden.
Li Ze leaned back on the sofa, watching the news report on TV. The TV was showing footage of the wars gradually subsiding in various overseas regions. Although many places were still in ruins, at least large-scale fighting had stopped.
He picked up his phone and glanced at the latest report sent by Lao Yi.
"Boss, things are going very well with the young master. He's stopped using brute force and is instead winning over the hearts and minds of the people in three cities by distributing supplies to them and helping them rebuild their homes. Many of the warlords' men have surrendered on their own initiative."
Li Ze looked at the message and a very gratified smile appeared on his face.
"This kid has finally figured it out."
Li Ze said silently to himself. He knew that after this ordeal, Li Menghan had truly grown up and understood the qualities a leader should possess, rather than just acting rashly.
Li Ze put his phone back in his pocket, stood up, and stretched.
He turned his head and looked at Zhang Ruoran, who was directing the servants to set the table in the dining room.
"If so," Li Ze called out.
Zhang Ruoran turned around, still holding a napkin in her hand: "What's wrong? Are you hungry? The food will be ready soon."
Li Ze walked over to her, took the napkin from her hand very naturally, and placed it on the table.
He looked into Zhang Ruoran's eyes, his tone very relaxed, yet with a hint of mystery:
"Honey, do the math. How many days are left until our wedding?"
Zhang Ruoran paused for a moment, then calculated very seriously.
"Today is the 10th, the wedding is on the 10th. Five more days."
"What's wrong? Is there something you haven't prepared yet?" Zhang Ruoran asked nervously. After all, this was the only real wedding she would ever have, and she valued it very much.
Li Ze smiled and shook his head, placing his hands on her shoulders:
"It's not that we weren't prepared. We were fully prepared."
"You don't need to worry about anything for the next five days."
"Come on, I'll show you the venue for our wedding. It's the huge surprise I owe you."
Upon hearing the word "surprise," Zhang Ruoran's eyes lit up immediately.
These past few days, she's been at home, wondering every day what Li Ze has prepared. She knows Li Ze is very rich, and she knows he's always very generous in his dealings. But she really can't imagine what kind of venue could be described as a "super huge" surprise.
"Shall we go now?" Zhang Ruoran asked excitedly.
"Yes, let's go now. I'll have Lao Yi prepare the car." Li Ze nodded very confidently.
Half an hour later.
Lao Yi drove a black bulletproof SUV, taking Li Ze and Zhang Ruoran directly to a secret military airport on the outskirts of Han City.
Sitting in the car, Zhang Ruoran looked at the heavily armed soldiers outside and the very futuristic black aircraft parked on the tarmac, and she found it very strange.
"Li Ze, where are we going? This looks like a military base."
Li Ze took her hand and got out of the car.
He pointed to the black aircraft and said with a smile, "The place we're going is a bit far, and taking a regular plane is too slow. This is our company's latest aircraft, and it's extremely fast."
The two people boarded the aircraft. The interior was very luxurious, like a small space capsule.
The eldest son sat in the driver's seat.
"Let's go," Li Ze ordered.
The aircraft took off vertically without making a sound, then accelerated instantly, flying towards the Pacific Ocean.
Zhang Ruoran sat in a very comfortable leather chair, watching the clouds rushing past the window. Her heart was pounding.
Less than half an hour later.
The aircraft began to slow down.
"Wife, look down there," Li Ze said, pointing out the window.
Zhang Ruoran pressed her face against the glass and looked down.
On the deep blue surface of the Pacific Ocean, a very large artificial island has appeared.
In the very center of this island stands an enormous spherical building.
The entire surface of this building is made up of very advanced screens, which are currently displaying a beautiful starry sky pattern. It looks like a giant pearl that has fallen onto the sea.
"What...what is this?" Zhang Ruoran exclaimed in surprise, her mouth agape.
She watches the news regularly and remembers a famous giant dome building in Las Vegas, USA. But this one below is many times larger than the one she saw on TV.
Seeing her surprised expression, Li Ze smiled smugly.
"This is the first surprise I've given you."
"This is a private island I bought in the Pacific Ocean. The building above is a replica of the Las Vegas Dome, but it's a hundred times the size of that one."
"At that time, our relatives, friends, and all the guests will come here first to attend the wedding banquet."
The aircraft landed on the island's helipad.
Li Ze took Zhang Ruoran's hand and walked into the interior of this giant dome.
The space inside is unbelievably large.
The entire top screen was displaying a remarkably realistic picture of blue skies and white clouds. Below were thousands of exquisitely arranged dining tables. In the center was a massive stage.
Standing inside, Zhang Ruoran felt like she couldn't take it all in with her eyes.
She gripped Li Ze's hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Li Ze... this is too extravagant! How much money will this cost?"
"You built such a big place just to hold a wedding. It's such a waste." Although Zhang Ruoran said it was a waste, the emotion in her eyes was undeniable.
Li Ze gently stroked her hair.
"As long as you're happy, no amount of money is a waste."
"And this is just the venue for the dinner. The actual wedding ceremony will not be held here."
Zhang Ruoran was completely stunned when she heard this.
"Not here? Then where is it?"
Such a luxurious place, and it's only used for dining? What must the place for holding ceremonies be like?
Li Ze did not answer directly.
He pulled Zhang Ruoran back onto the black aircraft.
"Old One, go to the second place," Li Ze instructed.
The aircraft took off again.
This time, the spacecraft didn't fly horizontally on Earth. Instead, it shot straight up to the very top of the sky.
Zhang Ruoran looked out the window.
She saw the sky change color from blue to dark blue, and finally to pure black.
Countless glittering stars appeared all around.
"Li Ze...we're...ascended to heaven?" Zhang Ruoran's voice trembled.
Although she knew that Li Ze owned a high-tech company, she never imagined that one day she would fly out of Earth in a spacecraft.
Li Ze held Zhang Ruoran tightly in his arms, soothing her nervousness.
"Don't be afraid, it's perfectly safe. How could I possibly put you in danger?"
The spacecraft flew in space for several hours.
Soon, a grayish-white planet appeared before their eyes.
Moon.
The spacecraft slowly descended beside a crater on the lunar surface.
Looking at the cratered surface of the moon, Zhang Ruoran felt like she was dreaming.
Just at this time.
The massive energy shield at the front of the aircraft came into her view.
Inside the energy shield, a magnificent Chinese palace was completely displayed before Zhang Ruoran.
White walls, red pillars. On the desolate land of the moon, this palace appears both incredible and incredibly beautiful.
"This...this is..."
Zhang Ruoran's tears flowed instantly.
She covered her mouth, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Li Ze looked at her, his eyes filled with deep affection.
He held Zhang Ruoran's hand and said very seriously:
"Wife."
"This is the super huge surprise I'm giving you."
"The Moon Palace".
"We've suffered so much on Earth. I owe you the perfect wedding."
"So, I had this palace built on the moon."
"I want to be in the quietest, most special place in the entire universe, in front of the moon, to make you my wife."
The aircraft came to a stop.
Li Ze led Zhang Ruoran out of the aircraft and into the energy shield.
The air here is very fresh, and the temperature is very comfortable.
They walked in the square covered with a red carpet.
The doors to the main hall were open. Inside, it was filled with fresh roses flown in from all over the world.
Those were very high-end seats, and there were all sorts of exquisite decorations.
Every detail reveals how much Li Ze values this wedding.
Zhang Ruoran walked along, looking at these things as she went.
Her tears kept falling.
She clung tightly to Li Ze's arm. She felt that this man had truly presented her with the best of everything in the world.
Eighteen years of waiting. All the grievances and scorn I endured during those eighteen years.
At that moment, they all turned into the happiest tears.
"Li Ze..."
"Thank you."
Zhang Ruoran leaned against Li Ze's chest and said in a slightly hoarse voice.
Li Ze gently wiped away the tears on her face with his hand.
He said with a smile:
"Fool. Don't thank me. It's what I should do."
"Did you enjoy your stay?"
Zhang Ruoran nodded very forcefully:
"I like it. I like it very, very much."
"This place is so beautiful. I never imagined I would have a wedding like this."
Li Ze took her hand and led her to the very center of the main hall.
He looked at Zhang Ruoran and announced in a very domineering manner:
"Five more days."
"Five days from now, this will be the liveliest place in the entire universe."
"I want everyone to know. You, Zhang Ruoran, are my one and only, and most beloved, wife."
