Good Pregnancy Quick Transmigration: The Overly Charming CEO with No Heirs
Chapter 274 Mermaid Rescue Plan 4
"No, I won't." Qi Shenyuan's eyes were firm. "I will always love you, just like I love myself. Everyone here is a witness today. If I don't love you and betray you in the future, may I be struck by lightning as punishment."
"Boom—"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning flashed across the dark sky, and a deafening clap of thunder silenced everyone present.
stunned.
Qi Shenyuan's eyes twitched, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"Heh, heh." He chuckled dryly. "Xiao Xi, it might rain. This is an accident."
Someone looked up at the sky and said, "The stars are still there, will it rain?"
But everyone considered the lightning strike as an accident.
After all, this is a world that believes in science.
Only Xi Yao looked worried and seemed hesitant: "But, you just made the vow and then it thundered, could it be that you...?"
"No, that's not it!"
Qi Shenyuan immediately interrupted her, "Xiao Xi, believe me, I truly love you. That was just a coincidence."
"Then swear it again, and I'll believe you."
As soon as Xi Yao finished speaking, all eyes in the room fell on Qi Shenyuan.
"Yeah, it was a perfectly sunny day today, so how come it really thundered right after this guy made that vow? Was he lying?"
Some people began to have doubts.
"You actually believe that?" someone said speechlessly. "Believe in science, okay? What era are we living in?"
"Exactly, if swearing oaths worked, how come there are so many scumbags and jerks in the world?"
The whispers around him displeased Qi Shenyuan.
At the same time, he grew even more disgusted with this foolish young lady.
How stupid of you to believe in something so vague and unrealistic.
However, there are advantages to being stupid.
Qi Shenyuan smiled, his expression remaining deeply affectionate.
He held flowers in his left hand, raised his right hand, and held up three fingers to swear an oath to the heavens:
"I truly love Tong Xiyao, and my love will never change. If I break this promise, may I be struck by lightning."
"boom--"
"Click—"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunder roared again.
Then a bolt of lightning struck down, hitting Qi Shenyuan directly.
The surroundings were quiet at first, then:
"ah--!"
Screams erupted, and the crowded people scattered instantly.
The rose in Qi Shenyuan's hand fell to the ground, and he froze on the spot.
His once neat and straight suit was now charred black, his once handsome hairstyle was now a mess, emitting white smoke, and his face was unrecognizable.
His right hand was still raised in mid-air, three fingers stiff and trembling slightly.
No one speaks.
The person who was saying "believe in science" just three seconds ago had his mouth agape, his phone slipped from his fingers and fell to the ground without him picking it up.
Xi Yao took a step back, her face showing fear, but inside she was laughing.
"996, very good, the timing is very precise."
"That's right, don't you even know who I am?"
996 stands tall with pride.
It obeyed its host's command and prepared the Five Thunder Talismans well in advance, releasing them at the opportune moment.
If it weren't for the constraints of Heaven's will, preventing him from being directly struck down, Qi Shenyuan would already be a corpse by now.
Qi Shenyuan's lips trembled.
The lightning didn't strike anyone nearby, only him.
It was as if something had specifically listened to that one sentence.
He wanted to speak, but his throat felt like it was being choked.
Looking down at his shoulder, he raised his hand to touch it, but as soon as his fingertips touched the charred fabric, the area crumbled to ash, revealing a patch of red, swollen skin.
pain.
Only then did the pain belatedly surge up.
Qi Shenyuan stumbled, stepping on the bouquet, scattering petals all over the ground.
"A coincidence," he said, his voice hoarse.
No one responded.
"It's a coincidence!"
Qi Shenyuan suddenly looked up at the people around him, his gaze sweeping over the astonished faces before finally landing on Xi Yao's face.
"Xiao Xi, you have to believe me..."
"Your hair."
Xi Yao forced a smile to stay on her lips and spoke with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
Qi Shenyuan was taken aback and raised his hand to touch the top of his head.
A strand of hair fell into the palm of the hand; it was brittle and crumbled into ash with a single touch.
His face turned pale.
"I truly love you," Qi Shenyuan said, his voice lowering as if he were telling himself, "I'm not lying..."
"But you'll be struck by lightning!" a childish voice rang out.
Everyone turned around and saw a little boy whose eyes were covered by his mother, but who was peeking through her fingers.
"Mommy," the little boy struggled, "he made a false oath, and the Thunder God is angry."
"Don't talk nonsense." The mother lowered her voice and covered her mouth even tighter, but her eyes were fixed on Qi Shenyuan, with a hint of schadenfreude in them.
Xi Yao, clutching her bag, took two steps back. "You're lying to me?"
Qi Shenyuan was stunned, then shook his head frantically: "Xiao Xi, you have to believe me!"
"If you swear twice, may lightning strike you twice."
Qi Shenyuan's lips moved slightly.
"I took the first time as a coincidence," Xi Yao said. "And the second time?"
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Someone glanced at the sky.
There were no clouds, no wind, and even the moon was hanging in the sky.
Qi Shenyuan stood there, his whole body aching and still aching, with waves of burnt smell wafting out.
"You believe this?" Qi Shenyuan finally managed to squeeze out the words. "Don't you believe me?"
A young woman nearby couldn't stand it anymore and scoffed, "You've been struck by lightning twice already, who would believe that?"
"Yeah, why don't you swear it again and see if lightning still strikes you?"
Some people, not wanting to let things escalate, continued to stir up trouble.
Qi Shenyuan's face was very dark, but unfortunately, it was impossible to tell.
Of course he wouldn't dare.
He himself no longer believes that the two lightning strikes were coincidences.
"Xiao Xi..."
"That's enough." Xi Yao interrupted him, her face filled with heartbreak. "So all this time, you've been lying to me, Qi Shenyuan. I misjudged you. Don't ever look for me again!"
After saying that, she turned and left angrily.
"Xiao Xi!"
Qi Shenyuan wanted to chase after him, but his whole body ached and he couldn't do it.
People around were pointing and whispering, and some even recorded the whole thing.
I thought it would be a sweet confession, but it turned out to be just this?
The video went viral instantly after being uploaded.
People started digging into his identity, and Tianqiong Biotechnology's stock was affected.
Of course, this is something.
At this moment, Xi Yao finally managed to run to a secluded place and started laughing wildly.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xi Yao supported herself on her knees with both hands, laughing so hard she couldn't straighten up.
The moment Qi Shenyuan was struck by lightning, his expression of bewilderment and shock was absolutely hilarious.
After today, his online image will no longer be that of a highly eligible bachelor or the most desirable husband for socialites in the capital.
He'll probably be considered a scumbag from now on, since even the heavens couldn't stand his confession and sent down a thunderbolt.
[Host, stop laughing. The big boss is practically a statue waiting for his husband at home.]
996 is really afraid that the host will laugh himself crazy.
"Ah, my little mermaid!"
Xi Yao screamed and ran away with her bag.
[Host, a teleportation scroll!]
"Oh right, I forgot."
Xi Yao slapped her forehead, bought a teleportation talisman, and went straight back to the villa.
As soon as I went in, I heard the sound of rushing water behind me.
A fish, having not seen anyone for a long time, is getting angry and is slapping the water with its tail.
