The proud and arrogant major-general refused to admit to his mistake.
“This bowl is too slippery.”
After speaking, he picked up another bowl.
Gu Qingjiu’s logic was that it was just a bowl to be cleaned.
There were no thoughts about how it might get broken.
She had no idea how he did it, but with a ‘clang,’ the bowl fell to the sink, cracking it on-site, revealing its broken glory.
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Helian Niancheng was speechless.
Gu Qingjiu was fuming. “When my mom gets back, she will kill me. You’re here to destroy the place!”
How could this be!
Gu Qingjiu took the remaining bowls from his hands. Helian Niancheng didn’t like touching these oily things.
Seeing that Gu Qingjiu had taken over, he moved over obediently.
When Gu Qingjiu finished washing and came out from the kitchen, Helian Niancheng had already made himself comfortable on the sofa as he watched the television.
Gu Qingjiu went over and leaned into him, Helian Niancheng’s gaze remained on the television, but he tilted his chin slightly upwards to accommodate her head below it, fitting her snuggly into his embrace.
“How long will you be staying this time before you have to go back?”
Gu Qingjiu asked, her fingers running over his chiseled jaw mindlessly.
“I will be going back two days later.” He lowered his head, giving Gu Qingjiu better access. In a low voice, “Will be bringing you back.”
Gu Qingjiu seemed a little unwilling. “I don’t want to. I just came back for not long.”
Most importantly, he had no friends at Penalan.
Helian Niancheng turned to look at Gu Qingjiu, his gaze appearing solemn. “You don’t want to go over?”
“Mm.”
Gu Qingjiu leaned into his chest. “I don’t have any friends there, and I want to keep my parents’ company for a while more.”
“Up to you.”
Helian Niancheng wouldn’t force her. “I’m going to talk about our marriage with them.”
“That reminds me.”
Gu Qingjiu reminded him uneasily. “Thread carefully. The two days I’ve been home, my dad has been opinionated about this.”
Helian Niancheng narrowed his eyes. “Your father is not willing to let you marry me?”
“It’s not that. It’s just that I said that we already collected the marriage certificate and didn’t inform them. He’s definitely angry. I’ve only told them about your identity recently as well. I’ve kept all this from them, do you think they won’t be angry. Don’t appear too strong-headed about this.”
Gu Qingjiu instructed Helian Niancheng, followed by a peck on the lips.
At this moment, Gu Qingjiu heard rustling from the door and quickly removed herself from Helian Niancheng. The moment she straightened her back, the door was opened.
Qi Yuefeng came in hand-in-hand with Gu Xiaoxi who was holding onto a coloured pencil.
Gu Qingjiu was startled. “Mom, you are back so quickly?”
Qi Yuefeng had yet to look at the sofa, so she didn’t notice the additional person. She replied, “We have a department store opposite. Where do you think I was going to buy them? Of course, it would be quick.”
As she spoke, she changed her shoes. Gu Xiaoxi was the first to notice Helian Niancheng. She tugged at Qi Yuefeng’s sleeve, “Auntie, look. It’s brother-in-law.”
Such a small child, great with words and an adorable face.
No wonder Helian Niancheng cast a satisfied look in Gu Xiaoxi’s direction.
Gu Qingjiu took the chance to inform Helian Niancheng. “She will be our flower girl.”
“Aiya, Niancheng is here. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I haven’t got the chance to repurchase some good things.”
