“Mm?”
Seeing her daughter’s cautious manner, Gu Hong couldn’t help but smile. “Look at how nervous you are. What is it that you find it so hard to tell your father?”
Gu Qingjiu couldn’t sit still on the sofa, so she bit her fingernails but ultimately went straight to the point. “Dad, I’m getting married.”
Gu Hong: “…”
He froze at this sudden news.
As though he hadn’t heard her clearly, he removed his glasses, rubbed his temples, but didn’t question her and instead said, “With Niancheng?”
“Mm.”
Perhaps realizing that her cousin and uncle were discussing something, Gu Xiaoxi picked up the remote control and started watching television by herself.
Gu Hong said nothing.
Seeing Gu Hong’s slightly fatigued manner, Gu Qingjiu realized that the hair on Gu Hong’s temples had already turned white.
She couldn’t help but feel sad.
Her father was getting on in age.
But, thankfully, she had reversed all the unfortunate events of her previous lifetime.
At least in this lifetime, her family was still wonderful and able to gather together.
“So Niancheng proposed to you?”
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Hong said this.
Gu Qingjiu turned awkward instantly. She fidgeted for a moment, then said directly, “Not a proposal. Err, I hadn’t told you back then because I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to accept it. Chief Instructor and I registered our marriage two years ago.”
Gu Hong stared at Gu Qingjiu in disbelief. “Daughter, you’re too abrupt about this. Why didn’t you tell your mom and me about something so important.”
“Back then, I knew that you two wouldn’t agree to it, but the Chief Instructor said we’re just registering our marriage in advance, and it’s no big deal.”
Gu Qingjiu stroked her face, feeling increasingly embarrassed the more she spoke about this.
Perhaps back then, she was too deeply enchanted by the Chief Instructor’s handsomeness and couldn’t help herself, especially since he had taken the opportunity to propose this when they were engaged in a particular disharmonious activity.
How could she have stayed rational at the time…
Indeed, one’s beauty could cause the downfall of another person!
“And you just took his words for it?!”
Gu Hong had wanted to scold her but couldn’t come up with the words to do so.
Recalling his impression of Helian Niancheng in the past two years, Gu Hong perhaps also realized that such a thing was unavoidable.
He could tell that the child…
The child was extremely possessive of Gu Qingjiu. Moreover, he wasn’t getting any younger.
They thought it was quite incredulous, to begin with, but what was even more incredulous was the fact they even registered their marriage without telling anyone!
Gu Hong sighed, but he didn’t know what to say.
He poked Gu Qingjiu’s forehead and said, seemingly with heartache, “Oh you!”
Qi Yuefeng had just opened the door when she saw Gu Hong lecturing Gu Qingjiu. She was displeased to see that. “Hey, Qingjiu just returned. What are you scolding her about?”
Gu Hong stood up, scoffed, and revealed a rare displeased look. “Ask your precious daughter yourself!”
With that, he walked to his bedroom.
Gu Qingjiu called after her dad.
But Gu Hong ignored her.
“Fine, I’ll ask her myself!”
Qi Yuefeng first placed the groceries in the kitchen, then came out, sat down by Gu Qingjiu’s side. She held her hand, before asking worriedly, “Why, what has happened?”
To think she had to experience the death penalty twice. Gu Qingjiu repeated what she had just said with unease.
In her impression, Qi Yuefeng was even more unlikely to accept such a matter.
Who knew, the moment she finished, Qi Yuefeng exclaimed in delight, “You’ve already registered your marriage? That’s great!’
Gu Qingjiu was dumbfounded.
