1034: Chapter 1034: Restraint is Just Pretentious (41) 1034: Chapter 1034: Restraint is Just Pretentious (41) âSo youâre saying, if it were a different time, youâd have agreed?â Gu Qinghengâs face immediately lit up with joy.
âChange what?
A midnight proposal has its own unique charm, I agreed.â Yang Ruxin hooked her finger under his chin, âSuch a handsome man, if I donât hurry and say yes, what if someone else snatches you away?â While speaking, she also pinched his face, marveling at how incredibly smooth his skin was.
âExactly, exactly,â Gu Qingheng nodded eagerly, looking adorably agreeable, âSo, Xinxin, you have to grab me tight and never let goâŠâ
Yang Ruxin burst into laughter, âEnough, letâs sleep.
Iâm sure someone is bound to come knocking early tomorrow, and as the head of the household, it wouldnât look good if I donât get out of bedâŠâ
âOkay,â Gu Qingheng nodded, kissed Yang Ruxinâs cheek, âGood night.â
However, that night, Gu Qingheng couldnât sleep.
He indeed wanted to marry Xinxin as soon as possible, but worried that if he really had to go to the battlefield and something happened to him, what would happen to Xinxin then?
So he spent the night in such turmoil until dawn broke.
Yang Ruxin didnât sleep well either; she thought a lot.
She knew Gu Qingheng truly cared for her and understood that he must be conflicted, so she decided to completely cut off his worries.
At breakfast, Yang Ruxin held everyone back, âI have something to tell you.â
All eyes turned to look at her.
âIâm planning to marry Gu Qingheng,â Yang Ruxin got straight to the point,
âXinxinâŠâ Gu Qingheng stood up in surprise.
The rest were also shocked at her announcement.
Wasnât this a bit too hasty?
âWhatâs the matter?
You all donât agree?
Or you donât agree?â Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows.
âBig sister, itâs not that we donât agree, you just took us by surprise.â Sanni let out a sigh, âIsnât it proper for the groom to send a matchmaker to propose?
This is a bit too boldâŠâ
âIf I were demure, would you all be eating white flour dumplings right now?â Yang Ruxin dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand, âDemureness can sometimes be just pretentiousness.â Pointing at Gu Qinghengâs face, she said, âTake a look at his face, such a man-magnet.
If I donât secure my status quickly, what if someone tries to make a move?
Once weâre married, Iâll have every right to fight off love rivalsâŠâ
âSis, so dominant,â Yu Qingge suddenly cheered, âIâm rooting for you!â
Erni and Sanni just couldnât help but facepalm, finding it hard to look directly at their big sisterâs antics.
Gu Qingheng felt his heart warm, she must be saying all this to ease his worries, right?
He hurriedly glanced at Xun Hui, âAuntie Hui, I want to marry XinxinâŠâ
Gu Yao bowed his head, feeling somewhat emotional.
He too had heard the news from the north and might soon be called to the front lines, so he couldnât help but glance at Erni.
Erni happened to look over as well, and upon getting caught, her face instantly flushed as she lowered her gaze.
Xun Hui was a little confused but then naively nodded, âOkay.â
Madam Feng suddenly burst into tears.
âMadam Feng, are you not happy?â Yang Ruxin frowned slightly.
âXinxin, donât misunderstand, Madam Feng is happy, our eldestâŠthe eldest young master is finally getting married.â Madam Feng quickly waved her hands, âIâm really so happyâŠâ Madam in heaven must be watching.
âMadam Feng, you gave me quite the scare.â Yang Ruxin exaggeratedly patted her chest, âIâd be so upset if my mother-in-law didnât agreeâŠâ
Looking at Yang Ruxinâs dramatic expression, Madam Feng broke into a smile through her tears, âYou, you rascalâŠâ
