Although today was Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao’s engagement, Mo Beihan was busy entertaining the guests and did not manage to say more than a few words to Gu Qingyao. They were kept busy until the afternoon, when the guests left. Only then did Mo Beihan find time to approach Gu Qingyao.
They were in Gu Qingyao’s room. Mo Beihan looked at the young girl before him, his heart filled with bliss. An indescribable joy spread from his heart and filled his limbs. Every cell in his body was excited.
He gently hugged Gu Qingyao. “We still have two years. In two years, I will immediately marry you. I don’t want to wait a moment longer.”
Gu Qingyao smiled. “I’ll wait for you. Our wedding must be even grander than today, or I won’t marry you.”
Mo Beihan said, “Sure!”
The two of them fell silent. There were still voices outside, which belonged to Gu Qingyao’s older cousins. Mo Beihan sighed. For the past few days, these cousins had looked at him askance. This was not the time to offend them.
They were only engaged and Mo Beihan knew his place. He did not stay in Gu Qingyao’s room for too long. He said a few words to her and left.
When Gu Jinfeng saw Mo Beihan emerging, he snorted coldly.
“Hmph!”
Mo Beihan: “…”
He rubbed his nose. Sigh…
He mustn’t offend them! He mustn’t offend them!
That afternoon, while Fang Ling and Zhou Ping were busy in the kitchen, Gu Yunshen went to Gu Qingyao’s room and handed Mo Beihan’s box to Gu Qingyao.
“You keep this. It’s a present from Mo Beihan. These are a pair of antique icy blue bangles which are from your Aunt Jiang. These were handed down from the Mo family ancestors.”
Gu Qingyao opened the box to look. The antique icy blue bangles were right on the top and very conspicuous.
She was surprised. She had not expected the Jiang family ancestors to have such a thing.
Gu Yunshen smiled. “This gift is an expression of her regard for you. Although they have not been handed down for long, they were given to your Aunt Jiang by Old Master Jiang. Put them away carefully.”
“Mhm!”
Gu Qingyao nodded and put the things away.
Gu Yunshen pursed his lips when he saw Gu Qingyao carefully putting them away. He said somewhat jealously, “Don’t place too much importance on them. The Gu family has many, many more things like that. What are these? In a while, I’ll get all the things our family has hidden and hide them in your interspace. Then you will know that these… really don’t amount to much.”
Gu Yunshen arched his head and said proudly, “If not for the times, I would certainly drive away anyone who tried to marry my daughter with a few worthless objects like these.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Gu Qingyao almost laughed out loud at her father’s proud expression.
She drew nearer and put her arm around Gu Yunshen’s shoulders with a smile. “Father, don’t worry. Even in these times, no one can marry your daughter with just these things. Besides these, Beihan has left many other things with me!”
Gu Yunshuang was astounded!
Gu Qingyao took out the jewels that Mo Beihan had obtained. She held out a wooden box for Gu Yunshen to see. “Look, this is just a portion. I have many more with me! And a thousand dollars or more in cash.
“Father, aren’t I something? Isn’t it better to have a daughter? Someone else raised such an outstanding son and I just kidnapped him so that in the future, we can provide for you together!”
Gu Yunshen looked at his daughter’s smiling little face and knew she was just coaxing him. But… it was quite effective!
