After paying, Gu Yelin carried the bag with his right hand and wrapped his left arm around An Yiqing’s waist as they walked toward the parking lot.
"Tutu, when should we get married?"
The man’s sudden question made An Yiqing stagger, nearly causing her to trip and fall.
She turned her head in surprise to look at Gu Yelin, her facial expression as if she had seen a ghost.
"Ah Lin, are you feverish?"
Gu Yelin furrowed his brow and shook his head.
"Then what’s wrong?" An Yiqing, still worried, took his wrist to check his pulse. Hmm, no problem.
Gu Yelin helplessly shook his head, "I’m not sick and nothing has happened. Tutu, when should we get married?"
An Yiqing blinked her watery eyes a few times and twisted her head, saying, "But you haven’t proposed!"
Her tone was calm, as if she was just stating a fact.
Actually, An Yiqing was indeed just stating a fact. She didn’t think a proposal needed to be a grand occasion or luxurious. However, how could one get married without a proposal? Hmm, this is what Tingting and Xiao Xue had told her.
So, Gu Yelin once again fell into the trap dug by his own sister.
Thus, from January 1st, Gu Yelin began learning how to propose. He not only bought all the books about proposals from the bookstore but also searched numerous videos and posts online. He even questioned every female at "Red Thorn," from instructors to cleaning ladies, to achieve an unforgettable effect, causing the entire base to be in a frenzy and restlessness. Of course, that’s a story for later.
At the Gu Family residence, today was a day when everyone naturally stayed at home. Apart from Gu Hanlin, Gu Yelin’s second brother who worked as the mayor in Mu City, the rest of the family was all present.
Gu Yelin had informed the Gu Family several days in advance about An Yiqing’s visit. His treasure was coming to see his family; he couldn’t let her be mistreated.
Therefore, the dinner planned for the evening remained unchanged, but they decided to add a lunch as well.
Elder Gu heartily agreed! This was his granddaughter-in-law! Do you have such a beautiful and capable granddaughter-in-law? Do you have such a filial granddaughter-in-law? No, right? Then you can only have one meal for the New Year! I have a granddaughter-in-law, so I get to enjoy a good meal at noon!
It must be said that Old Master Gu was very protective of his food. He completely took An Yiqing under his wing, even surpassing his own grandsons.
About ten minutes later, the distant sound of a sports car’s engine could be heard outside the mansion.
"Could that be Lao San and Xiao Qing coming back?" Upon hearing the noise, Old Master Gu immediately stood up, his face flushed with joy.
Upon hearing her grandfather’s words, Gu Tingting stood up excitedly, ready to run out, "I’ll go and check!"
Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance hall, and Butler Zhong from the Gu Family called out, "Master, Young Master Sun and Miss An have arrived!"
As soon as Elder Gu heard this, he hurriedly made his way there with the rest of the family following quickly behind.
At the entrance hall, Gu Yelin had just hung An Yiqing’s coat on the rack when a fiery red figure rushed toward them.
"Qingqing! I’ve missed you to death! You heartless thing, you’ve got Third Brother but don’t even think about me!" Gu Tingting burrowed into An Yiqing’s arms, hugging her tightly without letting go.
An Yiqing held her with a beaming smile, unconcerned with Gu Yelin’s aggrieved look, and let the girl be coquettish in her embrace.
At that moment, along with the sound of approaching footsteps, the robust voice of Old Master Gu came through.
