Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Getting the Certificate (8) Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Getting the Certificate (8) Lu Wanwan typed slowly, not even finishing a sentence before another message from the other party popped up one after another.
“Is it because his family has some strange rule that he must marry and have children to inherit, so he is rushing to get married?”
“Ah, I just thought of a question, marriage aside, has he pressured you to have kids?”
“He must have some unknown purpose for being so eager to marry, right?”
“Wanwan, you need to think this through, it’s still not too late to have a quick divorce after a quick marriage!”
Lu Wanwan stared at those sentences, somewhat stunned, her fingers stopping for a moment.
“Just kidding, I just want you to be cautious…” Having not seen a reply for quite a while, Xu Yuan’s messages lost their intensity and turned normal, “It’s just too sudden. Your grandmother has just passed away, and I’m worried you might act impulsively and fall head over heels for this devil.”
It took a while, but finally, Lu Wanwan replied.
“Xu Yuan, is this a serious problem?”
“Of course, it’s serious, if you just want to settle, then fine, go ahead because the conditions seem favorable. But you are not that kind of person. Marriage should be pure; if he needs to marry for this reason or that, then who knows how much that devalues the relationship.”
Xu Yuan held her phone, growing anxious as she did not receive a reply, beginning to wonder if she had been too straightforward.
Wanwan likes him so much and if she agreed to marry for other reasons, wouldn’t that be too unfair?
It took quite a long time before she saw Lu Wanwan’s reply.
“Xu Yuan, it’s not him who is rushing to get married, it was me who brought it up.”
“If there is a purpose, that person would be me.”
Xu Yuan was stunned; indeed, the moment the situation shifted to her side, the feelings immediately changed.
Lu Wanwan stared blankly at WeChat, hearing a pleasant low voice behind her amidst the night breeze, “Why are you standing outside?”
She raised her head, her heart skipping a beat.
In the light leaking from the house, she saw Gu Annan’s tall shadow approaching.
Thinking of the message she had just sent to Xu Yuan on her phone, she panicked, her fingers loosened, and the phone slipped through her fingers, accurately falling through the balcony’s railing from the second floor to the first.
In the quiet, the sound of the phone smashing downstairs was particularly clear.
Gu Annan folded his arms, squinting at her with a face that said ‘this was an accident, I didn’t do it on purpose’.
Lu Wanwan chuckled nervously, raising her hand slightly, “That, I… my hand slipped…”
Inside, she breathed a sigh of relief; it was better for the phone to be broken than for Gu Annan to see what was on it.
It’s not that she intended to keep secrets, she had been planning to find an opportunity to tell him; her urgency also had other reasons.
But having seen Xu Yuan’s reaction just now, she hid that thought away again.
Gu Annan was getting somewhat used to her little accidents and didn’t mind another broken phone.
He leaned lazily against the balcony railing, his figure outlined beautifully, his deep eyes gleaming brighter than the stars in the night sky, “I might need to go to the company tomorrow. Will you be okay at home by yourself? Should I ask Xu Yuan to keep you company?”
“Yes.” She looked up, gazing at the man who had legally become her other half, not wanting to go through any more tribulations.
The next day, she had no intention of continuing to confine herself in Gu Mansion.
From the moment she had proposed marriage to Gu Annan, she wanted to pick herself up again.
Her grandmother definitely wouldn’t have wanted to see her faltering; she couldn’t stay hidden forever in Gu Annan’s safe harbor.
“Go to Nanyi to resign?” Gu Annan stopped his breakfast, recalling some matters from yesterday, “I’ll have someone handle it for you; you don’t need to go there yourself.”
