I became a civil servant in the underworld and became an internet sensation in both the mortal and s

Chapter 169 I said, I agree to marry you.

Xu Qingling blinked and pointed at Xie Bi'an, "He's not your lover, but when he came last time, he acted very intimately with you, both in his actions and words. In fact, he was even jealous when you gave me sushi, wasn't he?"

Xu Qingling's eyes were filled with the question: If this isn't love, then what is?

Fan Wujiu was so frustrated by Xu Qingling's misunderstanding that he almost vomited blood.

Suddenly remembering something, she exclaimed in horror, "You don't think that he and I are a couple, and that's why you've been distancing yourself from me and refusing my food lately, do you?"

Xu Qingling nodded decisively and said seriously, "Mr. Fan, having a lover means having boundaries. I am someone who has strong boundaries and doesn't want to ruin other people's relationships. I hope you will also have boundaries."

"You're wrong, no, you're right, no no, what I mean is, it's true that having a lover requires boundaries, but I don't have a lover. Even if I did, that person would definitely not be Xie Bi'an. He's really just my brother. You can ask him if you don't believe me."

After saying that, he glared angrily at Xie Bi'an, "Explain yourself clearly."

If he doesn't explain this clearly, he'll lose his future wife.

Xie Bi'an is really something. We've been brothers for so many years, and he only came once last time. Xu Qingling has already misunderstood him like this. What kind of mess is this?

After realizing what was happening, Xie Bi'an also put on a cold face and said seriously, "You've misunderstood. Fan Wujiu and I are just brothers."

Xu Qingling remained silent, clearly not believing it.

Fan Wujiu was getting anxious.

Xie Bi'an suddenly remembered what he had said last time. Looking back now, it did seem a bit like he was jealous. "I admit that what I said last time was a bit... The reason I said that was because Lao Fan and I have been brothers for a long time. But ever since he fell in love with you, he has often broken his principles for you. For example, he has excellent cooking skills, but he doesn't like to cook. However, he cooked for you."

"I just felt that Lao Fan had forgotten his brothers since he had someone he liked. After all, as his good brother, I rarely get to eat his cooking. Now that I see how much he likes you and has made so much for you, I couldn't help but tease him a bit."

"But please don't misunderstand, neither Lao Fan nor I like men, and we would never like each other."

Thousands of years have passed; if they liked each other, they would have been together long ago.

But they really are just straight men with a brotherly bond.

To be honest, Xie Bi'an felt somewhat guilty when he heard that Xu Qingling had misunderstood him, causing her to distance herself from Fan Wujiu.

He knew how much Lao Fan liked Xu Qingling; it was like an old iron tree finally blooming—once he fell in love, there was no stopping him.

As his brother, he was most happy to see Lao Fan happy.

Even now, Xie Bi'an still feels guilty, thinking back to the last time he misunderstood that the Underworld Emperor was going to pass the position to Lao Fan.

At this point, Xie Bi'an also felt that it was no longer appropriate for him to stay.

"Well, I've explained everything. I have to go now." After saying that, he subconsciously reached out to pat Fan Wujiu's shoulder, but then, fearing that Xu Qingling might misunderstand, he raised his hand and then quickly left.

At this point, only Xu Qingling and Fan Wujiu remained.

“Yes, Lao Xie is right, you’ve misunderstood.” Fan Wujiu ignored Xie Bi’an’s departure. This guy shouldn’t have come last time. However, he agreed with Xie Bi’an’s words.

However, Xu Qingling grasped another key point: "He said, 'You like me, so you cook for me? So, those dishes weren't leftovers from when you made too much?'"

Fan Wujiu belatedly realized that Xie Bi'an had seen through his intentions.

Forget it, let's just expose it. If I don't clarify my feelings soon, Xu Qingling might misunderstand things to the extreme.

So, he gritted his teeth, mustered his courage, gazed at Xu Qingling, and said earnestly and solemnly, "Xu Qingling, I like you."

He finished speaking with a wry smile, "It's impossible to make too much every time. I just thought you would like it, so I wanted to make it for you."

"But didn't your brother say you don't like cooking?"

"For you, I can like anything." "So, you'd cook for me for the rest of your life?"

"Correct."

"So you like me, have you thought about marrying me in the future?"

"Of course there are." A relationship without marriage? That's just being a scoundrel.

Moreover, Xu Qingling is his destined wife.

"Okay, I agree."

"Huh? What?" Perhaps Xu Qingling's attitude changed too quickly, leaving Fan Wujiu completely bewildered.

Xu Qingling repeated, "I said, I agree to marry you."

Fan Wujiu's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Xu Qingling. His expression was strange, a mix of shock, joy, and bewilderment, as if he had been hit by a pie and was struggling to process what was happening.

He hadn't expected that just a second ago, Xu Qingling had misunderstood his relationship with Xie Bi'an and was so cold and distant from him, refusing any food he sent, displaying a firm attitude of wanting to draw a clear line.

Now, she suddenly says she agrees to marry him.

This change happened way too fast.

Fan Wujiu was pleasantly surprised, but also a little unsure. "May I ask why?" Could it be because she had discovered his feelings for him? That was possible, after all, he was so gentle and considerate, and had such a handsome face...

"Didn't you promise to cook for me for the rest of your life?"

Fan Wujiu: ...So you want to marry me just because you're craving my food?

For a moment, Fan Wujiu didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Don't you want to?"

"Yes, of course I'm willing." Well, judging from Xu Qingling's expression, she probably hasn't figured it out yet; for now, she simply likes the food he makes.

He, the mighty Black Impermanence of the Underworld, never imagined that one day he would be reduced to relying on his looks and skills to win the favor of his beloved girl.

However, this is acceptable.

At the very least, his culinary skills are something that others don't possess.

Moreover, Xu Qingling was willing to marry him because of his cooking skills.

As for relationships...

They can get married first and then fall in love, gradually cultivating their feelings for each other later.

He believed that with his unremitting efforts, even if Xu Qingling was as heartless and desireless as a stone, he would warm her up and melt her.

"Okay, let's find a time to get our marriage certificate."

"Is this little cake for me? Then I'll take it."

Xu Qingling, thinking she had said everything, picked up the small cake and left, leaving Fan Wujiu standing there grinning foolishly.

Xie Bi'an, who was secretly watching from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the two explain themselves. He was slightly surprised when he heard that they were going to get their marriage certificate the next day. The progress was too fast.
