The Arch-Enemy Must Not Become a Wife

Chapter 276: Chapter 149: The More Anxious You Are, the More Anxious Others Get

"Master, what should we do?" The little snow mink asked blankly.

Having anticipated this, Ji Mingyu was not yet at the point of losing her mind. She simply replied, "Do you think this wedding can be held?"

The little mink frowned and pondered, "It should be possible, right? I see that Haitang looks so overwhelmed with joy, most likely the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion has also agreed."

"Then do you think I should attend?"

"Ah?" The little mink was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly advised, "Master, do you want to disrupt the wedding? That’s not right."

"Chu Xuan and Gu Haitang are mutually affectionate, and now they have concerns about you. Even if you manage to take him back by force, you could only obtain his body but not his heart, which would only make him hate you more."

"Moreover, your misunderstanding will only become more irreparable."

Ming Yu responded coldly, "I’m not that foolish."

The little mink cautiously replied, "Then what is the point of attending? Hoping that Chu Xuan will change his mind upon seeing you?"

"I think the chances are slim unless you reveal that ’truth’ to him, then you might have a bit of a chance."

In truth, the little mink still didn’t know what the so-called ’truth’ was but only knew that the master seemed very confident.

Ji Mingyu mused, "Let’s wait and see what happens, if there’s really no way..."

The little mink’s ears perked up, "Then what?"

Ming Yu rubbed its little head, then looked again at Chu Xuan in the water mirror, speaking lightly:

"Don’t ask so many questions, and I’m not the only one anxious. How do you think Duanmu Qing will react upon hearing this news?"

The little mink thought the same, maybe we should wait and see, since others are more anxious than you, better to stay calm.

...

Chu Xuan finally managed to coax the crying Haitang in his arms, saying somewhat helplessly, "You cried so much, others might think I bullied you."

Gu Haitang giggled and said defiantly, "You indeed bullied me, and more than once."

"How did I bully you? Does kissing you count?"

"Annoying~" Gu Haitang playfully punched Chu Xuan.

About Chu Xuan’s previous experience saving Qingqing, she had already asked the Master of the Floating Clouds in detail, so she refrained from asking again, afraid of touching on Chu Xuan’s painful memories.

If he suddenly recalls Qingqing’s goodness and regrets not wanting to marry, that would be a disaster.

So Gu Haitang didn’t dwell on past events, simply moved past them, and instead spoke to Chu Xuan about the efforts she made in the past four or five months to facilitate their union.

Chu Xuan felt touched hearing Haitang’s hectic efforts, persuading her sect and family, feeling even more moved.

"You’ve worked hard, Haitang, this should have been something I took initiative on, but here you are, a young lady running around tirelessly."

However, Chu Xuan was also puzzled, "Earlier you mentioned family, are you originally from a cultivation family?"

Gu Haitang nodded, this was also part of her plan, from now on, Chu Xuan can slowly learn about the family, it’s impossible to keep it from him forever.

Of course, the main parts will be revealed after marriage, otherwise, it’s not safe enough.

"Our Gu family is quite a prominent family, though its reputation in the cultivation world is not well-known, mainly because its actions are discreet, family members have long pursued secluded cultivation, not getting involved in worldly disputes."

"Once we’re married, I’ll take you to visit my family."

"But before that, there’s a test you need to pass. Let my mother meet you, if she’s satisfied afterward, then she’ll allow us to marry."

"This condition isn’t too much, right?" Gu Haitang cautiously asked.

Chu Xuan initially thought, what was so mysterious about the Gu family? But Haitang diverted his attention, making him naturally say:

"It’s not too much, in essence, it’s just meeting the parents in advance, a normal thing."

"I just hope my future mother-in-law won’t make the test too difficult for me."

Hearing Chu Xuan use the term ’mother-in-law’, Gu Haitang blushed slightly, "Don’t worry, I’ve already communicated with Mother about this. She knows I’ve long had feelings for you, she shouldn’t make things too hard."

Chu Xuan nodded, "By the way, what about your father?"

Hearing this, Gu Haitang’s eyes dimmed slightly, "According to Mother, my father was born handsome and gentle, but he was frail and sickly since young, passing away due to illness when Mother was eight months pregnant."

Chu Xuan felt regret, "I’m sorry for bringing up something sad."

Haitang shook her head, "You’re my future husband, these are things I should have told you long ago, maybe even late in doing so."

"When shall we visit your mother?"

Gu Haitang considered, "Half a month later, my mother happens to be going to the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion then as a guest, so we don’t have to make a separate trip to the family, we’ll just go over to meet her directly."

Chu Xuan found this quite coincidental, but didn’t inquire further, simply nodded and asked, "Should we prepare any small gifts?"

Haitang smiled and shook her head, "We’re not ordinary people, no need to fuss over formalities."

"Still, it’s best to have a small offering as a token."

Regarding formal bridal gifts and dowries, Cyan Lotus Daoist Palace and Purple Heaven Jade Mansion are both prestigious sects, they’ll handle it for the disciples, there’s no need for them to pay out of pocket.

Thus, the two began earnestly discussing wedding preparations, sweetly like a young couple.

Xiao Yue watched with envy, envious on behalf of Senior Sister, she also didn’t understand why these two who’ve had such chances to be together earlier turned out this way now.
