Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 398
Chapter 398 Please marry me!
Du Xiaoxian sat there, so nervous that she didn’t know where to put some of her hands and feet, luckily Gu Nianbin was talking to Gu Guangxian and didn’t notice her.
Gu Shanshan s hints she is not unseen, just … looked up and glanced at the big clock on the landing, it s almost time to eat, time waits for no one, she clenched her teeth, and stood up with a peng!
Gu Nianbin was sitting right next to her, and when he saw her suddenly stand up, he was puzzled, but Du Xiaoxian made a move that surprised him even more – she kneeled down towards him on one knee, holding up a ring in her hand, “Gu Nianbin, please marry me! I’ll take good care of you, and make you happy.”
Gu Nianbin stood up in a flash, blushing for the first time!
All of them were frozen, only Gu Shanshan covered her mouth and snickered, a few days ago Du Xiaoxian called her to tell her about the marriage proposal, saying that the ring had been bought, and it was just a matter of a good time and occasion. She knew that Du Xiaoxian was too timid to do it in public, so she might as well do it at home, in front of her family, as a kind of witness.
The two had discussed it over the phone, so this weekend Du Xiaoxian was going to encourage Gu Nianbin to come back to the ancestral home no matter what.
Seeing that Gu Nianbin was dumbfounded and didn’t say anything, Du Xiaoxian said once more, “Gu Nianbin, please marry me! I will take good care of you and make you the happiest man in the world!”
Gu Nianbin’s eyes instantly misted with water and hurriedly pulled her up, “You stand up and talk.”
Du Xiaoxian refused, holding up the ring obstinately, “You haven’t promised yet!”
“Promise, of course I promise, who else can I marry if I don’t marry you in this life!” Gu Nianbin busily said, he was just saying a joke because he was angry, I didn’t expect Du Xiaoxian to take it seriously. He hurriedly picked up the ring and put it on his hand, but the ring was too small to put in, so he could only put it on the front of his finger.
Du Xiaoxian was dumbfounded on the spot, she was so focused on the style that she didn’t pay attention to the size.
She was so anxious she was about to cry and stumbled, “I, I’ll go get another one.”
“No, this one is just fine, I like it.” Gu Nianbin pulled her up and pressed her to sit on the sofa. Smiling, he coaxed her, “This doesn’t have to be worn on the hand.” He removed the piece of jade he always wore around his neck and threaded the ring onto a red rope before putting it back around his neck, “Look, this is also quite good!”
“Yeah, it’s better,” Gu Shan Shan chimed in, “because it’s closer to the heart!”
The two Gu family members sat there quietly without saying anything, but there was watery light flickering in their eyes, they were touched, how could they not expect Du Xiaoxian to act like this. Obviously so timid and timid, but spoke with a face of seriousness and persistence. In front of them, she promised to take good care of their son. A very simple sentence, but it is worth a thousand words, from now on, they can really rest assured that with Du Xiaoxian, Gu Nianbin will be very happy for the rest of his life.
Gu Nian Nian also made an unprecedented lack of noise, she leaned in Fang Yaru’s arms, quietly watching the scene, gently sniffling a little, and said quietly, “Grandma, I’m so touched Oh!”
The childish words made the atmosphere instantly warm, and everyone laughed and applauded.
Du Xiaoxian was embarrassed, leaning in Gu Nianbin’s arms smiling shyly, secretly bought the ring, secretly discussed the plan with Gu Shanshan, but in her heart, she has been apprehensive, fearing that she would lose her courage on the spot, but only at this moment did she realize that although she was very excited, she wasn’t afraid at all.
She was very focused on the proposal, automatically screened out all distractions, heart eyes only that man, pure love for him, want to marry him, and nothing else.
Gu Guangxian called Xiao Bernian, “Old Xiao, call everyone over.”
Xiao Bo Nian answered and called the servants to the hall, standing in a straight line in unison.
Gu Guangxian said, “I called you all here because I have something to announce, from today onwards, Nian Nian’s mother is the young grandmother of this family, you must respect her and never neglect her, got it?”
“Yes, Master.” The servants spoke in unison and saluted Du Xiaoxian again in unison, “Good day young granny!”
Du Xiaoxian busily stood up, looking a bit overwhelmed, “Good, how are you guys!”
Gu Nianbin smiled and waved his hand for the servants to disperse, the way they looked so discreet would only cause Du Xiaoxian to panic.
Because of this, the Gu family had a very lively and atmospheric dinner, everyone raised their glasses to wish Gu Nianbin and Du Xiaoxian well, and even Gu Niannian was very understanding and said, “Wish mom and dad a hundred years of good luck!”
Fang Yaru blessing, naturally, and the birth of a child mentioned, want them to give Nian Nian again younger siblings, Gu Nianbin do not want to spoil the atmosphere, vague.
On the contrary, Fang Yaru was very serious and said to Du Xiaoxian, “Xiaoxian, how nice to have a baby now and give birth in October next year, when it’s not too hot and not too cold!”
Du Xiaoxian gave Gu Nianbin a pouty look and said in a thin voice, “You have to ask Nianbin about this.”
Gu Nianbin couldn’t help it, if this matter wasn’t made clear now, he was afraid that Fang Yaru would still be pestered in the future, so he said, “Mom, I don’t want Xiao Xian to have another baby.”
“Why?” Fang Yaru was taken aback, “Isn’t it good to have more babies while you’re young? Nian Nian is so lonely alone!”
“Giving birth is hard and dangerous, I’m afraid …”
“So it’s because you’re afraid of Xiao Xian’s hard work,” Fang Yaru said, “Don’t worry, I’ll hire a few more people to take care of her, she’ll be fine, there’s no such thing as having a baby that doesn’t involve suffering, wasn’t it the same when I gave birth to you and ShanShan? You’ll be fine afterward! If you don’t think about yourselves, you should think about Nian Nian. She’s really too lonely, so it’s good to have at least one more.”
“Mom, Xiao Xian just proposed and you’re talking about having a baby.” Gu Shanshan rounded off the conversation, “We have to let Brother and Xiao Xian have their wedding, things have to be taken one step at a time!”
“Xiao Xian, it’s better to be conceived in this season, anyway, it’s carried in the belly, and when the wedding dress covers it, you won’t be able to see anything.” Fang Yaru did not die and continued to lobby Du Xiaoxian.
Gu Nianbin wanted to answer, but his hand was held under the table by Du Xiaoxian, so he didn’t open his mouth.
Du Xiaoxian said, “I know, ma’am, we’ll try our best.”
“Still calling ma’am, it’s time to call mom.” Gu Nianbin reminded her.
“Yes, don’t just the servants change their names,” Gu Shanshan said with a smile, “Xiao Xian, you’ll have to change your name to mom and dad.”
Du Xiaoxian didn’t squirm much this time, and called out to Gu Guangxian and Fang Yaru with a big smile, “Dad, mom!”
“Hey!” The two Gu family members answered in the same voice, smiling joyfully.
Gu Guangxian was especially happy, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, he said to Fang Yaru, “Xiao Xian has changed her mind, don’t we have to show something, go and bring the stuff!”
Du Xiaoxian busily said, “No, there’s no need to show it, I …”
Gu Nianbin smiled and put his arm around her shoulder, “Fool, mom and dad gave it to me, don’t want it for nothing, it’s a family heirloom!”
When Fang Yaru brought the thing, Du Xiaoxian took a look at it, it was a gold ring with a large cat’s eye stone, glowing with a ghostly light, it looked like it had some years of age.
Fang Yaru put the small brocade box in front of Du Xiaoxian, “This is the heirloom of our Gu family, traditionally only passed on to the eldest daughter-in-law, you keep it safe.”
“This …” Du Xiaoxian still wanted to push back, but Gu Nianbin stuffed the small box into her pocket, “Keep it, don’t think it’s really for you, when the time comes, you still have to pass it down the line.”
Everyone laughed.
Gu Nian Nian said, “Is it going to be passed on to me in the future?”
“It’s passed on to little brother’s future bride.” Fang Yaru explained, seeing the little girl’s face darken, she was busy coaxing her again, “When Nian Nian gets married, grandma will give better, prettier ones!”
Gu Guangxian heart happy, words than usual more, sitting in the living room while drinking tea, while talking to the descendants of the Gu family’s history of hundreds of years of change, talking about the ancestral home once the scenery and through the vicissitudes of the Gu centennial building, once those storms, glory and shame.
It was late before everyone broke up and went to their rooms.
As soon as he entered the room, Gu Nianbin hugged Du Xiaoxian, he had wanted to kiss her since the time she proposed, in front of his parents, he was afraid that Du Xiaoxian would be embarrassed, so he had been holding back, and now that there were no bystanders, he was going to kiss his little petite wife properly.
Deep embracing kiss, without a trace of love, lust, only want to full of love are melted into this kiss, for a long time, he let go, his voice is a little dark, “Fool, I said to let you propose is a joke, you also took it seriously.”
Du Xiaoxian looked at him and smiled, there were tears flashing in her eyes, and she said very seriously, “Brother, I have done many things to make you sad in the past, I proposed because I want you to know my determination, and from now on, I will never make you sad again.”
“I know, Xian’er,” Gu Nianbin lifted her chin and kissed her again, his voice slurring between each other’s lips, “I’ve always known.”
The wedding has been proposed, and the marriage was immediately put on the agenda by President Gu. It’s just that there has always been a question in his mind, and now he has to ask it.
“Xian’er, now that we’re getting married, don’t I have to pay a formal visit to your Abba? Ask for his permission, and we also need to get your family register before we can register!”
Du Xiaoxian’s face did change slightly, she was silent for a moment and said, “I don’t know if my Abba is at home or not, the account book is there, just have second aunt send it over.”
“You mean we don’t need to discuss with your Abba when we get married?” Gu Nianbin said, “After all, he’s the only family you have left.”
Du Xiaoxian bit her lip as if she was thinking, and after a while she said, “There’s no need to tell him, I can make my own decisions.”
“Xian’er,” Gu Nianbin finally couldn’t help but ask, “Are you on bad terms with your Abba? Don’t keep things to yourself, tell me, I’ll help you out, okay?”
Du Xiaoxian said slowly, “Abba he, he doesn’t like me, and he won’t come to our wedding, the old men of the Daliang Mountain people all listen to the old teachings of not going out of the mountains for the rest of their lives.”
Gu Nianbin knew that there must be something in her heart, but she just didn’t want to talk about it, so it wasn’t good to force her, so he said, “Then do what you want, and when we get married, we’ll go see your Abba again.”
