Chapter 768: Gu Ningyi, Marry Me (6)
Mrs. Gu.
The three words seemed to twirl around his tongue before slowly spilling out, carrying a tender, lingering sentiment that made Dong Xin Yan’s heart stir slightly.
She tilted her face, lightly cocked her head, and, with a smile, reached out her hand to hold his, saying, "Mr. Gu, please take care of me for the rest of my life!"
As they exited the Civil Affairs Bureau, Gu Ningyi’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Madam Gu calling.
The corner of his lips twisted with a mischievous air, "My mother’s information is always so well-informed."
Dong Xin Yan gazed at him, a slight trace of unease flickering in her eyes.
Madam Gu was plainly dissatisfied with her as a daughter-in-law. The things she said before were meant to make her back off, but now that she had registered her marriage with Gu Ningyi, she was probably... furious, wasn’t she?
"Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. You just wait and be a good bride." Gu Ningyi noticed her unease, stroked her face, and softly reassured her.
With that, he swiped his finger across the screen and answered the call.
After a few brief words, he hung up. Dong Xin Yan, with her large dark eyes, looked at him, "What did Madam Gu... say?"
"Are you still calling her Madam Gu?" Gu Ningyi mercilessly pinched her cheek, "You should start calling her something else."
"Ouch!"
Dong Xin Yan slapped his hand away, puffed up her cheeks, and glared at him, "Gu Ningyi, we’ve barely been married an hour and you’re already starting with the domestic violence!"
Domestic violence?
Gu Ningyi raised an eyebrow, blinked his dark eyes, and his thin lips suddenly moved close to her ear, his voice low and husky, full of innuendo, "If this counts as domestic violence, then what does that make our wedding night tonight?"
"...."
Her fair cheeks suddenly flushed red, Dong Xin Yan’s eyes widened even more, and she clenched her hand into a fist, giving him a solid punch, "Shameless!"
Gu Ningyi raised his hand and directly caught Dong Xin Yan’s fist. His large hand enveloped her tiny one, and with a forceful tug, he drew her to him. He bent down, resting his forehead against hers, and his warm breath mingled with hers. He hooked his lips into a smile, "Yes, shameless, but only for you, for a lifetime."
-
At Dong Xin Yan’s strong insistence, Gu Ningyi still took her back to the Gu Mansion.
Having chosen to marry Gu Ningyi and become his wife, she inevitably had to face Gu Ningyi’s family. She couldn’t hide behind Gu Ningyi forever; she wanted to move forward together with him, facing the challenges ahead.
The car drove into the estate, and the two of them got out. Gu Ningyi held Dong Xin Yan’s hand and walked into the grand house.
Madam Gu was sitting on the sofa. When her gaze fell on Gu Ningyi, she seemed quite calm, but the moment she saw Dong Xin Yan, her face instantly clouded over with gloom, and she couldn’t even be bothered to feign politeness.
Dong Xin Yan’s steps hesitated for a brief moment, but just then, her heart was filled with determination again.
She had hesitated, retreated, and been afraid, but nothing could outweigh the love she shared with Gu Ningyi.
No matter how Madam Gu viewed her, no matter how dissatisfied she was, she would not back down again.
The two of them walked to the living room and sat on the sofa opposite Madam Gu. Gu Ningyi called out to her, "Mom."
Dong Xin Yan hesitated for a second, then softly parted her red lips and called in a low voice, "Mom."
Madam Gu’s face was extremely displeased. Seeing their hands clasped together, her tone was icy and filled with mockery, "Who are you calling mom?"
Gu Ningyi furrowed his brow and was about to say something, but Dong Xin Yan spoke up before he could.
