Chapter 157: Accepting Xiao Jing
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Old Master Gu had always had a problem with his daughter not being able to officially marry off. After receiving Yunbao, he swore silently that he would never let Yunbao suffer like this.
Xiao Jing understood what Old Master Gu meant and hated himself for not protecting Gu Teng well back then. He knelt down and apologized, “I, Xiao
Jing, swear to the heavens that I will only have Gu Teng as my wife in this life.
No matter what the price is, I will marry her in a grand manner. I will definitely not marry any Miss Chen.”
“What if the Xiao family forces you to give up?” Old Master Gu asked.
The Xiao family already knew Gu Teng’s identity. They were ecstatic, and would not think about giving up Gu Teng. Moreover, Xiao Jing did not care about the Xiao family’s thoughts at all.
He looked at Old Master Gu firmly and said, “I will never give up on Gu Teng, even if it means losing my life.”
Old Master Gu had seen countless people and could tell the sincerity in Xiao Jings words. He had also heard of Xiao Jing and knew that he was not someone the Xiao family could casually manipulate.
Thinking of how reliant Yunbao and Gu Teng were on him, Old Master Gu could not keep stopping them. After all, Yunbao also wanted a family reunion.
Old Master Gu sighed and said, “Our Gu family will always support Gu Teng. If you dare to let her down, the Gu family won’t let you off.”
Xiao Jing could tell that he had accepted him. He beamed and said, “Thank you,
Father-in-law.”
Old Master Gu still did not like to hear him call him father-in-law, but he reluctantly agreed.
Gu Teng was waiting downstairs with Yunbao in her arms. She was afraid that her father would not be able to accept Xiao Jing and was a little nervous. Yunbao did not take it to heart and comforted her mother. “Don’t worry. If Grandpa doesn’t accept Daddy, Yunbao will go beg him.”
Looking at Yunbao’s confident expression, Gu Teng was no longer worried. She hugged her daughter and kissed her. “Our Yunbao is so cute. Grandpa will agree to anything.”
Now that her lover and child were by her side, Gu Teng was unprecedentedly happy. It did not matter even if her father still did not agree to her and Xiao
Jing being together. It was enough for them to love each other.
In this harmonious atmosphere, Old Master Gu and Xiao Jing walked downstairs. Unlike Old Master Gu who was angry previously, he even let Xiao Jing walk beside him. The two of them were talking about something, but they looked very intimate.
Gu Teng heaved a sigh of relief and brought Yunbao over. Old Master Gu did not say whether he would accept him or not. He only smiled and said, “Let’s eat.”
Since they could sit down and eat together, they were a family. Gu Teng knew that her father had agreed.
However, Yunbao did not know what Grandpa meant. She tugged at Old
Master Gu’s clothes and said, “Grandpa, can you let Daddy stay with us?”
Old Master Gu had always given Yunbao whatever she wanted. He quickly nodded and said, “Grandpa will get your father to stay.”
Hearing that her father could stay, Yunbao jumped up excitedly. “That’s great!”
Then, she turned around to look for Gu Zi and said, “I have a father too.”
Gu Zi was naturally happy for Yunbao. Seeing the children’s happy expressions, Old Master Gu abandoned his last bit of unhappiness. The children were already so old, so he could not really let Gu Teng marry someone else.
The family had a peaceful meal. Then, Old Master Gu said, “Next, it’s time to hold your wedding with Gu Teng.”
Gu Teng was very surprised. “Dad, Yunbao is already so old. Why is there a wedding?”
Old Master Gu said unhappily, “We have to do it. I don’t want to hear any more rumors.”
Xiao Jing quickly added, “Of course we have to hold a wedding and a big one.
We have to let everyone know that Gu Teng and I are husband and wife.”
Old Master Gu liked to hear this. He smiled and said, “Let the Xiao family propose.”
When Yunbao heard that they were going to hold a wedding, she asked curiously, “Dad and Mom are already married. Why are they still holding a wedding?”
Xiao Jing was very ashamed when he heard this. He had been with Gu Teng for so long, but he had not been able to give her a wedding.
He squatted down and said to Yunbao, “Dad didn’t have the ability to give Mom a wedding back then, so I have to compensate Mom double.”
Yunbao was still a three-year-old child and couldn’t understand the deeper meaning, but she knew that a wedding was very important. Moreover, the wedding would be very lively. She smiled and said, “Then Daddy has to give Mommy a huge wedding to make her happy.”
Seeing that her daughter and husband were really discussing the wedding, Gu
Teng accepted the idea of holding a wedding. This wedding could be considered an explanation to her parents so that no one would say that
Yunbao was an illegitimate daughter..
