Xu Weilai felt even more nervous when she was interrupted. She turned her head and looked at Gu Yu. Even her voice sounded guilty as she asked, “You… what are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?”
Meeting the parents was such a significant moment! She needed to perform well!
His happiness spread all the way to the depths of his eyes. Gu Yu raised his hand and gently touched her head. “You didn’t do anything wrong, but you don’t have to make a lengthy speech. Relax.”
He had already told his parents about Xu Weilai a long time ago.
Xu Weilai didn’t want to be nervous either, but she knew how much Gu Yu’s parents meant to him. They were so important to him. Naturally, she hoped that they would like her, even if… she would never know whether or not they liked her.
Xu Weilai gulped before saying, “I just want your parents to learn more about me. I want them to know that I’m not just beautiful. I’m a good student and a capable person. I’m smart, outgoing, and obedient. You would gain so much by marrying me! That way, they might like me too.”
Her sudden self-praise made Gu Yu speechless for a moment. He clenched his fist and placed his fist on his lips as he coughed a few times.
As she spoke, Xu Weilai glared at the man unhappily. She pouted her red lips as she complained, “You should have told me earlier that you’re bringing me to see your parents. That way, I could have dressed up properly and prepared some gifts for them. This is my first time meeting them, and I came empty-handed. How impolite! What if your parents think I’m disrespectful?”
When Gu Yu looked at her pretty and cute expression, he couldn’t control himself. Suddenly, he stretched his hand out, pulled Xu Weilai into his arms, and hugged her tightly.
Xu Weilai was stunned. She blinked with her huge eyes and asked out of curiosity, “What’s the matter?”
The man placed his chin on the crown of her head. His breathing would occasionally land on the tips of the hair. The man’s voice was so deep they were like the low notes of an instrument. Each word carried an enticing feeling as he spoke.
“Xu Weilai, you don’t have to dress up properly or prepare any gifts. Even if you come and visit them like this, my parents will like you.”
“How do you know? You’re not your father or mother,” Xu Weilai refuted in a muffled voice.
“That’s because… my grandpa chose you.”
His grandpa chose him…
This reply caused Xu Weilai’s gaze to turn dim. Her eyes were filled with disappointment.
However, she then heard the man’s deep and hoarse voice again. “Now, you’re chosen by me as well.”
Xu Weilai’s face was pressed against his chest right next to his heart. She thought that she heard his heart beating faster as he spoke.
Her pupils shrunk suddenly as her breathing turned slightly heavier. Gu Yu… has Gu Yu fully accepted her as his wife at last?
Xu Weilai slowly processed his words. She couldn’t stop smiling. Her eyes slowly turned into small crescents and she even raised her arms. She was about to hug him back.
However, she saw the black piano placed at the side from the corner of her eyes. Her smile disappeared slowly, bit by bit
She misunderstood Gu Yu tonight. He wasn’t planning to have her meet Yun Rou. Instead, he wanted her to meet his parents. Then that would mean… when Yun Rou called her before she left her house, everything she said had been proven to be false. Yun Rou purposely misled her to stop her from coming here. That way, she would waste Gu Yu’s thoughts and effort, which would have had a negative impact on their relationship.
