Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Meng Nianyao liked the old mansion. It was quiet here, and she felt like she was in the city. Gu Wencheng drove and glanced at her. He smiled. “Do you like it here?”
“Yeah, don’t you think it’s great here?” Meng Nianyao nodded. Quiet. Just looking at this scenery makes my heart calm down.”
“If you like it, we can move in after the wedding.”
“And you wake up three hours early to go to work every day?”
“I can, but I don’t know if you can. Or do you want to be a good wife and mother at home?”
“I don’t want to.” Meng Nianyao snorted. Although 1 don’t earn as much as you do, I still have to work. People have to have their own values and career to live meaningfully.”
As they spoke, the car had already arrived at the old mansion. The security guard at the entrance had already opened the door. Gu Wencheng parked the car in the courtyard, unbuckled his seatbelt, and pinched her face. “Okay, I know your point of view. I won’t stop you from realizing your value.”
Meng Nianyao laughed and followed Gu Wencheng out of the car. “Nianyao, you’re back. “Grandma Gu greeted them as soon as they entered the living room. She smiled.
Gu Wencheng held her hand. As soon as Grandma Gu appeared, Meng Nianyao mercilessly shook off his hand and went to greet her. “You’re back, Grandma. “The two of them walked into the room hand in hand, leaving Gu Wencheng behind. He didn’t even get a glance.
There was still some time before dinner was ready. Grandma Gu had recently made a qipao for herself and Meng Nianyao. She pulled her to the bedroom to try it on.
Cheongsams were not very age-sensitive; they would show off a different kind of beauty depending on the wearer’s age. The qipao that Grandma Gu had made for Meng Nianyao was dark green in color. The bottom of the qipao was embroidered with a single orchid flower, which was especially exquisite and beautiful.
When Meng Nianyao changed into the qipao, she gave off a different feeling, like a young lady from a wealthy family. Grandma Gu was stunned for two seconds before she clapped her hands and smiled. “Not bad, not bad. You’re so beautiful, you look like you came out of a painting.” She pulled Meng Nianyao along and helped her tidy up the areas that she’d missed.
Meng Nianyao was embarrassed by Grandma Gu’s praise and blushed.
Grandma Gu tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled. You have to learn how to be praised by others, especially when you’re fully worthy of it. Let’s go down and show your grandfather and Gu Wencheng what you look like. In two days, I’ll make an appointment with the tailor to come over and make two more qipaos for you. It’s almost the end of the year, and you’re Wencheng’s wife. There are many occasions where you need to accompany him.”
Meng Nianyao nodded. She knew that these were unavoidable.
Downstairs, Gu Wencheng and Grandpa Gu were playing chess. The two of them sat face to face. Grandpa Gu frowned and stared at the chessboard, his expression extremely focused.
Meng Nianyao and Grandma Gu came down. Neither of them noticed that Grandma Gu suddenly pulled Meng Nianyao aside and whispered something to her. Meng Nianyao hesitated. “Is this okay?”
“What’s there to be worried about? Hurry up and go.”
Meng Nianyao felt awkward. She coughed and walked toward the chessboard. Before she could speak, Gu Wencheng reached out his hand to her. Meng Nianyao was stunned and handed her hand to him.
Gu Wencheng held her hand and looked at her from top to bottom with a smile on his face.
Grandpa Gu’s gaze also swept over her, looking quite satisfied.
Meng Nianyao was even more embarrassed and quietly tightened her grip on his hand. “Mrs. Gu, are you trying to murder your husband?” Gu Wencheng laughed. Grandpa and Grandma Gu also laughed when they heard his words. On the contrary, Meng Nianyao blushed.
Gu Wencheng got up with a smile and held Meng Nianyao in his arms. Just as he was about to tease her again, a crisp female voice sounded. “Brother Wencheng, who are you hugging?” How can you hug another woman!”
Everyone turned to look. Meng Nianyao also retreated from his arms, but before she could move, the girl rushed over and pushed her away. “Who are you?!” Let go of my Wencheng! Brother Wencheng, didn’t you say you wanted to marry me? Why are you hugging another woman!”
Meng Nianyao was dumbfounded. The girl in front of her was in her early twenties and had a ponytail. She was very young and energetic, but her wide eyes made her look a little fierce.
Gu Wencheng frowned and was a little unhappy. “Yin Qiqi, that was when we were young.. Can you not always bring it up?”
