Chapter 407: He Bought a Mountain
Soon, Li Beijue led her to a stop in front of a cemetery.
This cemetery seemed to still be under construction, the underground palace had not yet been sealed, and inside lay a unique big coffin, shaped like two people embracing each other.
It was adorned with relief sculptures and inlaid with gemstones.
Luxurious and extravagant, it didn’t resemble a coffin but rather an artwork.
She didn’t know if it was her own illusion, but Chi Enen always felt that the woman carved on the coffin looked a bit like her.
The thought had barely surfaced before she found it ridiculous.
How could the person carved on it possibly be her?
She must have been overthinking it.
A manager-looking person rushed over with a few staff members. Seeing them, he ingratiatingly said, “Young Master Li, what brings you here? If I had known you were coming, I would have gone out to greet you.”
After buttering up Li Beijue, he finally noticed Chi Enen standing beside him.
First, he was taken aback.
Then, as if understanding something, he asked with a smile, “You must be Miss Chi, right?”
Chi Enen didn’t expect him to recognize her, and asked in surprise, “Yes, I am. Do you know me?”
“Not exactly, today is the first time I’ve formally met Miss Chi. But before meeting Miss Chi, I have already seen many of Miss Chi’s photos, so I guess I do know you a bit.”
The manager’s words left Chi Enen even more baffled.
What did he mean by seeing many of her photos before meeting her?
“Miss Chi, are you here to check on the progress with Young Master Li?” Seeing she hadn’t spoken, the manager started another topic.
Chi Enen was really confused and asked subconsciously, “What progress?”
“The cemetery’s, of course,” the manager blurted out. “Don’t you know, Miss Chi? Young Master Li has bought this mountain to build a resting place for you two after a hundred years.”
Having worked in the funeral industry for most of his life, he had seen all kinds of romance.
But it was the first time he’d seen a man so romantic.
To buy an entire mountain just to build a joint burial site for a woman.
This kind of romance, more romantic than diamond proposals he had seen on television or helicopter confessions, was romance to the marrow!
Even as a man, when he first heard this request, he couldn’t help but feel his heart race.
How deeply in love, how devoted one must be, to have already made plans for each other’s resting place after a hundred years.
Even after a hundred years, they would be buried together!
This must be what the TV dramas describe as ‘every lifetime’.
But in TV dramas, it’s just talk—this was really happening!
Chi Enen looked incredulously towards the man beside her—
“Enough with the nonsense!” Li Beijue frowned displeasedly, his frown deep enough to trap a fly, “Get lost!”
He had only brought Chi Enen to take a look, he hadn’t asked him to babble so much.
After spilling all the beans, what was left for him to say?
The manager, not understanding why his flattery had resulted in a scolding from Young Master Li, and though puzzled, still left with a smile, taking the staff with him.
Once again, only the two of them were left on the hillside.
Chi Enen looked at the unfinished cemetery, her throat dry, and couldn’t help asking, “Li Beijue, is what the manager said true?”
“What’s true or false?”
“I mean, is it true that you bought this mountain to build a cemetery?” She really didn’t know how to describe what she was feeling.
A kind of indescribable shock.
Besides shock, she could not describe what she felt at that moment.
