Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife - Chapter 790
Chapter 790: Preparing A Matrimonial Home (1)
Ji Mingyue was stunned!
She was completely bewildered by Gu Jinhang’s words.
Ma-marry him?
Gu Jinhang had babbled so much nonsense before he finally spat out these two words. When he saw that the girl was deeply shocked, he raised his eyebrows and said seriously, “Did I say something wrong?”
“Ah? I mean…” Ji Mingyue’s mind had turned to mush. She could not keep up with him at all.
Gu Jinhang laughed. “I’m your older brother’s good friend. Of course I won’t mistreat you. Among the Gu family’s grandchildren, I am also the successor. Marrying me will increase your status.
“The Gu family and the Bai family are in two different camps, and there is no love lost between us. It doesn’t matter to me if I offend them by marrying you!
“Especially since the Gu family’s power and connections are pretty good. In the future, we will certainly be a match for the Bai family. You don’t have to worry that we will make things difficult for you because of the Bai family. Among the younger generation in the capital, I am fairly outstanding. Don’t you think that marrying me is a pretty good choice?”
Ji Mingyue: …
How should she respond?
She knew that Gu Jinhang was the Gu family’s next successor. Based on his abilities, it did seem that… marrying him was a good choice.
But…
Ji Mingyue was still looking dazed. Gu Jinhang chuckled and slowly drew closer. The two of them were very close to each other. He bent a little and moved even closer to her.
“Do you want to consider me? If you agree, I’ll bring you to beat the wits out of Bai Chi!”
Ji Mingyue: …
But Gu Jinhang’s words had unsettled Ji Mingyue. Later on, she was very distracted when Gu Qingyao was teaching her how to cook.
“Mingyue, what’s the matter?”
Gu Qingyao asked when she saw Mingyue’s attention wandering off again and again.
“No-nothing!” Ji Mingyue shrank back guiltily. Her heart was pounding. She could not calm herself down.
Gu Qingyao cooked most of the lunch. Ji Mingyue only cooked a few dishes, which tasted rather bland.
Ji Mingyue was rather embarrassed. She put the food she had cooked aside.
She stayed at the Gu house for lunch.
The Old Master and Old Madam were there. Eldest Uncle’s family was not there that day, so it was just Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and Gu Fangting.
Mo Beihan stayed too. The little fellow, Mu Mu, adored Gu Qingyao. Today was the weekend, so he had come over for a meal too.
There were so many people at the table. Gu Jinhang and Mo Beihan went into the kitchen to help bring out the dishes.
Gu Jinhang saw a few dishes that did not look very nice, which had been placed to one side. He reached out and brought them out.
Ji Mingyue was getting the drinks and did not notice.
When she brought the drinks to the table, she naturally sat next to Gu Qingyao. She was most familiar with Gu Qingyao, so she was used to sitting with her. Mo Beihan sat at Gu Qingyao’s other side.
She had just sat down when she saw Gu Jinhang bringing her pathetic-looking dishes. He sat down next to her and calmly placed the slightly charred food on the table in front of himself.
Ji Mingyue: …
She was already unsettled from the morning’s incident. Now this person was sitting next to her, which agitated her further. Then she looked at her failed dishes and felt even more embarrassed.
“Second Brother Gu, these… these were failures, don’t…”
She wanted to tell him not to eat them, but before she could finish her sentence, Gu Jinhang had already picked up his chopsticks and tried them. “They’re all right! I think they’re not bad. I saw them in the kitchen, so I brought them out!”
Ji Mingyue: …
