“Although I hope she can just be an ordinary girl and live a simple and happy life, I respect her choice since she already made her decision. All I want is for her to be safe and healthy,” said Gu Man.
She never interfered in Gu Ning’s personal affairs, because she knew that Gu Ning was able to handle everything well.
Because of Gu Ning, they were able to live a good life and she finally met Tang Yunfan again.
“Don’t worry, she’ll be safe and healthy,” said Jing Yunyao. Given Gu Ning’s abilities, nobody could easily hurt her, but she might often be in danger. After all, she stood out from the crowd now, so she had to face all kinds of challenges.
“Oh, it’s a new year now. Shouldn’t we let Shaoting and Ningning get engaged?” Jing Yunyao said. She knew the reason why they hadn’t gotten engaged last year. Since Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were sure that they found their true love, they might as well get engaged as soon as possible.
Gu Man laughed. “Right, we can choose a good date for that!”
Although Gu Man didn’t want Gu Ning to marry into another family so soon, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting would get married sooner or later. So it would be good if they formally got engaged now.
“I think Shaoting’s master can do that. Shaoting’s master is an expert,” said Jing Yunyao. It couldn’t be easier for Shangguan Yang to choose a good date for the young couple to get engaged.
“Great, please help us with that, and we’ll get prepared once the date is settled,” said Gu Man.
…
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting drove Leng Yuanzhen and Yu Yin to the airport. They didn’t leave until Leng Yuanzhen and Yu Yin passed the security check and then they directly returned to the hospital.
On their way back, Gu Ning told Leng Shaoting about what Tang Jiakai and his friends had encountered that night. Afterwards, Gu Ning asked Leng Shaoting how Jiang Liluo and Si Jin were doing now.
Because they were living with Shangguan Yang, Jiang Liluo and Si Jin soon got used to their new life.
“Don’t you care about me at all? Why didn’t you ask me how I’ve been doing recently? You just met them a few days ago, but you care so much about them.” Leng Shaoting complained jealously.
Gu Ning was struck dumb for a second. She didn’t expect that Leng Shaoting would be jealous, so she was amused and asked at once. “So, Shaoting, how are you these days? Are you feeling well?”
“You’re only asking about me because I asked you to do so. I don’t see your sincerity,” said Leng Shaoting.
“Well…” Gu Ning was surprised. “What happened to you today? Why did you suddenly become so mean? You weren’t mad before when I didn’t ask you those questions.”
“Exactly because you didn’t care about me, I’m mad now,” said Leng Shaoting.
In fact, he suddenly cared about that because he heard Xu Jinchen, Xin Bei and Si Ming’s conversations with their girls on the phone. Their girls always asked them those questions, so he wanted the same treatment from Gu Ning.
Gu Ning thought it was a little childish, but she indeed seldom cared about Leng Shaoting by asking him those questions. “Fine, it’s my fault. I’ll ask you those questions when we meet in the future, alright?”
“Great.” Leng Shaoting was satisfied and stopped arguing with Gu Ning.
They went back to the hospital. After staying there for a while, it was time for dinner.
Tang Yunfan wanted to invite them for a meal, but Gu Ning stopped him. She told him to stay in the hospital to look after Gu Man, while she would treat the Leng family on his behalf.
Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao agreed, so Tang Yunfan didn’t insist. He only felt it was what he should do, so he apologized to them.
Gu Ning treated Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao on behalf of the Tang family, but Leng Shaoting paid the bill in the end, and Gu Ning said nothing.
Given their relationship, it wasn’t all that important.
After the meal, it was still early, so Leng Shaoting suggested that they have a walk in the park. It was already January, so it wasn’t so cold and there weren’t many people outside.
Because of Jing Yunyao’s presence, Gu Ning stood a little away from Leng Shaoting. Even if Jing Yunyao didn’t care about it, they would be embarrassed.
“Ningning, I talked with your mother today. I think you can get engaged first and your master can help you settle the date. You’ve been together for a long time after all,” said Jing Yunyao.
If they were just girlfriend and boyfriend, it wouldn’t be stable and other people might not see Gu Ning as a member of the Leng family. However, if they were engaged, it would be different. At least it meant that the Leng family already accepted Gu Ning.
“Sure,” said Gu Ning. She didn’t think it was embarrassing. She didn’t get shy easily, anyway they were very familiar with each other. They were like a family now.
“I’ll call our master right now.” Leng Shaoting took action without hesitation. There was a broad smile on his face. He was obviously excited and couldn’t wait any seconds longer.
“No need to rush!” Jing Yunyao was amused by him.
“If Ningning reached the age of consent, I would marry her right away,” said Leng Shaoting. He was very honest and didn’t feel embarrassed.
“Ha-ha.” Jing Yunyao laughed.
She and Gu Ning didn’t stop Leng Shaoting. They watched him call Shangguan Yang and they told Shangguan Yang their date of birth and horoscope.
After that, Shangguan Yang needed to decide what date was best for the young couple.
Before long, Shangguan Yang found that May 2nd this year was a good date.
“Why isn’t it next month? Or the month after the next month?” Hearing the answer, Leng Shaoting was upset. He felt it was still long away.
Jing Yunyao was once again amused by Leng Shaoting’s reaction. It seemed that he really wanted to marry Gu Ning as soon as possible.
“It’s just an engagement, not the wedding day. Why are you in a rush?” Jing Yunyao asked resignedly.
Hearing that, Leng Shaoting became even unhappier, because he indeed couldn’t wait to marry Gu Ning. Unfortunately, Gu Ning hadn’t reached the age of consent yet.
They walked for a while, before they went back to Huafu Hills.
Because of Jing Yunyao, Leng Shaoting couldn’t sleep in the same room as Gu Ning. And he didn’t dare to sneak into her room late at night either, because Jing Yunyao would definitely hear it once he moved.
If it was Gu Man, on the other hand, there would have been nothing for Leng Shaoting to worry about, because Gu Man didn’t have the acute senses of a cultivator.
