Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Sir, Madam, the Old Master and Madam are here.” Sis Wang’s voice came through the door.
Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng looked at each other and saw the awkwardness and lingering emotions in each other’s eyes.
Meng Nianyao immediately turned her head. Gu Wencheng looked at her self-deceiving look and laughed out loud.
“Got it,” he responded. After a while, he got up from Meng Nianyao’s body and said, “I’ll go out first. You can come out after tidying up.”
Meng Nianyao lifted her head to cover her face and exhaled. When she got up, she realized that her hair had been messed up.
Meng Nianyao went to wash her face and change her clothes before leaving the bedroom. Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and Gu Wencheng were all sitting on the sofa in the living room. Grandma Gu heard the noise and turned around. “Nianyao, come and sit next to Grandma.”
Meng Nianyao looked at Grandma Gu and smiled at her. She walked over to the sofa and sat down while greeting Grandpa Gu, who glanced at her and hummed in response.
“Grandpa and Grandma came today not only to see you, but also to discuss your marriage with Gu Wencheng.” Grandma Gu’s words stunned Meng Nianyao. She subconsciously looked at Gu Wencheng, who was sitting diagonally across from her. However, when she met his gaze, the image of them entangled in the bedroom just now automatically appeared in her mind. She coughed unnaturally and looked away.
Grandma Gu heard her cough and saw that her face was a little red. She quickly asked, “Why are you still coughing? Do you have a fever? Why did you get discharged before you recovered?” Grandma Gu reached out to touch her forehead.
“I’m fine, Grandma.” Meng Nianyao was even more embarrassed. She saw a teasing smile on Gu Wencheng’s face from the corner of her eye and became angry.
Grandma Gu saw Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao exchanging glances and smiled. Gu Wencheng has been married to you for more than two months. We didn’t know that you suffered during this time. Now that we know this news, we naturally have to give you what we should give you. We’ve already informed Gu Wencheng’s parents, but they can’t come back for the time being due to the nature of their work. But don’t worry, Grandma won’t let you suffer.”
Grandma Gu said a lot of things in one breath. Meng Nianyao listened carefully, but she didn’t know what to do after she heard it. Was she going to hold a wedding? Her wedding with Gu Wencheng? She didn’t know what her relationship with Gu Wencheng was and didn’t know if they were a couple or husband and wife. She subconsciously looked at Gu Wencheng.
Gu Wencheng got up at some point and walked to Meng Nianyao’s side.” Mrs. Gu,” he said in a deep and slow voice,” are you willing to hold a wedding with me?”
Snow began to fall from the sky, one after another. The room was very quiet and the lights were very warm. Everyone was looking at her, waiting for her answer. Meng Nianyao had never felt so important before. A warmth spread from her heart to her chest. “I’m willing,” she said, as if she had been bewitched.
Grandma Gu, Gu Wencheng, and Grandpa Gu all laughed. Meng Nianyao also laughed, and a thin film of tears slowly appeared in her eyes.
She was completely stunned after that reply. She couldn’t remember what they said after that, but when Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu were about to leave, Grandma Gu grabbed her wrist and took off a jade bracelet from her hand, which she put on Meng Nianyao’s own wrist. “Nianyao, my mother-in-law gave this to me after I married into the Gu family. It’s considered a family heirloom. Now, I am giving it to you.”
The jade bracelet was warm and cool, and Meng Nianyao’s eyes instantly turned red. Grandma Gu liked her very much; from the first time they met, she had treated her like her own granddaughter. Such a heavy liking made Meng Nianyao afraid that she would let her down. She opened her mouth, wanting to tell Grandma Gu that she was not that good. She wanted to tell her her past, but did not have the courage to speak.
“Thank you, Grandma.” Meng Nianyao hugged Grandma Gu and sobbed.
Grandma Gu smiled and patted her back.” Silly child, what are you talking about?” Grandma doesn’t have any other expectations. I just want you and Gu Wencheng to be happy for a long time.”
“I understand.” Meng Nianyao nodded.
Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng sent Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu downstairs. It was snowing heavily outside, and the ground was already covered with a layer of white snow. Gu Wencheng held Meng Nianyao’s hand and watched the car drive away. “Let’s go home,” he said..
