Gu Yundong looked up and said with a smile, âMy father canât bear to marry me off so early.â
âThen I can marry into your family.â Without any hesitation, Shao Qingyuan answered quickly.
Gu Yundong choked and could not help but laugh.
âIâm still young.â
âYouâll be of marriageable age next month. Youâre not young anymore.â
âI mean, I havenât grown up yet.â
Shao Qingyuan froze for a moment. His hands that were holding her felt a little warm.
Gu Yundong seemed to hear him swallow his saliva gently. After a while, he said in a slightly hoarse voice, âWe can get married first and consummate our marriage later.â
Gu Yundong choked on her own saliva. She covered her mouth and coughed twice.
Consummate the marriage later? You look like you want to kiss, hug, and lift me up when no one is paying attention. Can you hold it in after getting married? It would be strange if I believed you.
Shao Qingyuan said, âYundong, your father has your mother and your siblings. But Iâm alone. Every night when I go home, the house is cold and cheerless. Thereâs no one to talk to. Sometimes, I canât sleep, but I donât know what to do. Itâs not convenient to talk to you if I want to look for you. I just think that as long as I can see you every day, itâs enough.â
Gu Yundong looked up and met his gloomy gaze. She pursed her lips slightly.
Oh no, he was using this trick again. What if her heart softened?
Gu Yundong opened her mouth. At this moment, a strong voice came from outside the door.
âBoss Shao, Boss Shao, where are you?â
Gu Yundong could clearly feel that Shao Qingyuanâs arms were tense, and his aura instantly turned cold.
âBoss Shao, have you settled the matter I told you?â
The voice was getting closer and closer. Gu Yundong also recognized the voice. It was Doctor Xiong.
She took a step back and left Shao Qingyuanâs arms.
Then, the air around her turned even colder. She heard Shao Qingyuanâs low curse. âThis bearâ¦â
He tidied Gu Yundongâs hair and said, âIâll go out and see him.â
âYeah.â
Shao Qingyuan opened the door of the storeroom. Gu Yundong turned around and vaguely heard him mutter before he left, âIt was this bear who agreed.â
Gu Yundong: ââ¦â I didnât. Donât talk nonsense. Who was going to agree? Who!!
Come back here and explain yourself.
Gu Yundong stood rooted to the ground and stared. In the end, she did not chase after them.
She tidied her clothes and stayed in the storeroom for a while. She pretended to look at the herbs before walking out slowly.
In the courtyard, Shao Qingyuan had already spoken to Doctor Xiong.
However, Shao Qingyuanâs face was cold and he looked very unhappy.
Although Doctor Xiong was tough and had a bad temper, that was based on his medical skills. He had confidence in this aspect and was very persistent in certain aspects. That was why he was so stubborn.
Moreover, Shao Qingyuan usually tolerated him and gave him enough freedom to perform. Therefore, Doctor Xiong had full authority over medical herbs.
But now, this expressionâ¦
Doctor Xiong said a few words to him, but he did not get a response. Especially since the other partyâs aura was cold, it really made him a little afraid.
Could it be that the request he made just now was really too much?
After all, what he said now was not related to medical skills. Doctor Xiong did not have much confidence.
Just as he was wondering if he should leave, he looked up and saw Gu Yundong.
