Mo Beihan pulled Gu Qingyao into his arms.
This new year approached very quickly, and Gu Qingyao had been rather busy at home every day. Zhou Bingsheng seemed to feel that she would have very little time for herself after marriage as she would give birth to children, need to work hard to sustain the family and take care of the group of kids from the Mo family. Thus, he took this opportunity to cultivate her with all his might.
How he wished he could turn her into a famous painter within a few days!
Gu Qingyao was a little helpless. “Teacher, you don’t need to be so worried. I promise I will persist in painting in the future and will not waste my time away.”
Zhou Bingsheng glared at her. “You are getting married after the new year, right? That fellow from the Mo family has his eyes on you the whole day. Don’t think I can’t tell!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
“I still can paint after I get married! There won’t be many changes to my current lifestyle. Teacher, you must believe me!”
With her interspace, no matter how busy she was, there was still enough time in her interspace. Thus, she had so much time to learn so many things and persist in learning every skill.
Zhou Bingsheng was not convinced. “Child! After marriage, a girl would not be as free as when she was single. Especially you. The Mo family has so many kids. I’m already worried just by that!
“It’s not that you shouldn’t raise those children, but… raising kids requires a lot of time, effort and money. It’s not that easy. You are very talented and you must not waste it.”
Ke Min was a woman and had more sentiments about a woman’s life after marriage!
“Your teacher is right. There will be many things after marriage. Putting those kids from the Mo family aside, you still need to do some housework after you get married, right? Your mother-in-law’s health is poor, and she has so many children to look after. No matter how obedient they are and how much the Mo family dotes on you, it’s definitely impossible for your mother-in-law to do everything while you do nothing.”
The corner of Gu Qingyao’s lips twitched. “It’s not like I don’t do anything when I’m home!”
Zhou Bingsheng shot a glare at her again. “You help out in your family because you’re obedient. When you have no time to help out, your aunt will do it, and no one will force you. But what will happen once you go to the Mo family? Those are your responsibilities, and you must do them. Are these the same?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Ke Min grinned. “Ah, Zhou! It’s really rare for you, a great scholar, to be so grounded! You can even analyze a woman’s life after marriage so logically!”
Zhou Bingsheng: …
He only had this little student. Could he not be concerned?
Gu Qingyao chuckled. “Teacher, don’t worry. I won’t put off my painting skills. I promise to not waste my talent, all right?”
Zhou Bingsheng was still quite worried, but since his student had already said so, it was not kind for him to give her a blow with any more unpleasant words.
Eighteen years old was the age for the first awakening of love. Mo Beihan was indeed outstanding enough and treated her very well. It was normal for her to long for love. Her wedding was coming soon, and he hoped that his little disciple would have a happy marriage life, so he must not say anything unpleasant to affect her enthusiasm towards her marriage.
This time, the new year seemed to pass very quickly to Gu Qingyao. Every day, she was busy learning from her teacher while also cooking all sorts of delicious food for everyone at home.
This year, the Gu family did not come home to celebrate the new year. Everyone knew that Gu Qingyao would be getting married after the new year and would definitely need to take a long leave, so everyone remained in other cities to work so that it would be more convenient to apply for leave then.
