CapĂtulo 2038: Chapter 2038: I Want to Marry Her
âWhatâs wrong with them being together?â Yang Ruxin slightly raised an eyebrow.
âTheyâŠâ Chun Hua was stumped by the question, unable to think of any reason why it would be bad.
âSince thereâs nothing wrong, why canât they be together? Theyâre not interfering with anyone elseâs life or disturbing social stability, so why should I oppose it?â Yang Ruxin chuckled, âHelping others achieve happiness is a virtuous act.â Then she turned and started to walk back.
Chun Hua frowned slightly and smacked her lips, the madam seemed to have a point, and she hurried to catch up, âBut thereâs a sixteen-year age gap between them, is that okay?â
âIn matters of the heart, age isnât a problem, and height is not a distance.â Yang Ruxin reached out and pinched Chun Huaâs face, âThe key is that they like each other, so it all depends on their fateâŠâ
Chun Hua nodded, âTrue.â
When Yang Ruxin returned home, Gu Qingheng had also just come back. Originally, he planned to go for a stroll in the village together, but Gu Qiao suddenly received a message, so he went out.
As for what it was, Yang Ruxin didnât ask because if he wanted to tell her, he naturally would; and if it wasnât convenient to share, asking might make things difficult for him.
But clearly, Gu Qingheng didnât plan on hiding it from her, as he explained it that night.
It was news from the Shu Family. Her grandfather, Shu Xing, would soon come to Lianhua Town and had sent someone to deliver the message. That was why he went to meet the messenger.
âGrandfather is coming?â Yang Ruxin was a bit surprised, âWellâŠâ She had been married for a year, yet she hadnât visited the elderly gentleman yet.
âDonât be nervous,â Gu Qingheng smiled, âGrandfather is mainly coming for the matter of Death Valley.â
âAlright, Iâm not nervous. Besides, even if he doesnât like me, itâs too late nowâŠâ
âHow could he not like you?â Gu Qingheng laughed, âSecond Uncle really likes you, and the restaurant he runs is thriving, making everyone enviousâŠâ
âI was just saying, and you took it seriously?â Yang Ruxin slightly raised an eyebrow.
Gu Qingheng laughed and pulled her into his embrace.
Over the next couple of days, Yang Ruxin visited friendly families in the village and listened to reports from the butler and Qian Er, along with other small managers.
âOnce youâre done reporting, go back to your tasks,â Yang Ruxin looked at the dawdling Qian Er, her brow furrowed.
âUh, RuxinâŠâ Qian Erâs face was flushed with embarrassment, âI have something I want to ask youâŠâ
âSpeak.â Yang Ruxin was surprised.
âIâŠâ Qian Er took a deep breath and suddenly knelt down, âI like Chun Gui, and I want to ask for her hand in marriage.â
Ever since Qian Er arrived, Chun Gui had felt nervous. Seeing others come out while Qian Er was still lingering around made her even more anxious. However, she was too shy to enter, so she paced near the door, and then heard Qian Erâs words inside, instantly freezing in place. After standing for a while, she suddenly turned and ran outside.
It took Yang Ruxin a long moment to react, âWhat did you say?â
âI like Chun Gui, and I want to marry her.â Qian Er, having said it out loud, no longer felt nervous.
âBut sheâŠâ
âI know sheâs a widow, and that she was evenâŠâ Qian Er chuckled, âBut so what? I donât mind her past, I just want to spend the rest of our days togetherâŠâ
