Chapter 180: Fixing The Date (3)
Gu Yunshen was rather quiet that day.
The next morning was the first day of the new year. Gu Qingyao rose early and immediately sought out Gu Yunshen.
Gu Yunshen was also up. When he saw his daughter’s smiling face, he said angrily, “You heartless creature. I’ll go look for Mo Beihan now and marry you off.”
Gu Qingyao smiled. “Father, who says I’m heartless? Here’s a new year present for you.”
Gu Qingyao handed him a gray sweater.
She had specially knitted this sweater for Gu Yunshen, and it had just been completed.
Gu Yunshen took the sweater in surprise. It was dark gray, and looked simple but elegant. The stitches were neat and even. This girl’s needlework had always been excellent and she had nimble fingers!
Gu Yunshen immediately cheered up when he saw what his daughter had made.
Gu Qingyao smiled. “Hurry up and put it on. I’ve made one for Third Elder Brother too! I’m going to give it to him now!”
“Go ahead!” Gu Yunshen stroked his new sweater. He was extremely pleased.
Gu Qingyao ran over to Gu Jinlin’s room and knocked on the door. Gu Jinlin was already up and getting dressed.
“Elder Brother, open the door! I have a present for you.”
Gu Jinlin hurriedly opened the door when he heard that. He laughed, “I even get a present?”
He had not yet put on his shirt or his outer quilted jacket!
Gu Qingyao smiled. “Just in time. Don’t wear your jacket. Put this on.”
Gu Jinlin was stunned when he saw the sweater in Gu Qingyao’s hand. “For… for me?”
“See if it fits? I made it specially for you.”
Gu Jinlin was surprised and delighted. He took the sweater and turned it over in his hands, examining it repeatedly. “My God! Little sister, you are just too good to me. You’ve even given me a sweater. This… this needs wool! It’s so expensive. Did you knit one for yourself?”
Gu Qingyao smiled. Her older cousins all doted on her.
“Don’t worry, I have one too. It’s pink! This is black, and it suits you!”
Gu Jinlin was delighted. It was so soft and beautiful. Of course he liked it.
He hurriedly took off the inner layer of his quilted jacket and put the sweater on.
It was a pullover and pure black. When he put it on, it accentuated Gu Jinlin height and long legs. He looked unbelievably tall as he stood there.
He was tall and exercised regularly, so he had always maintained a fine figure. With his new clothes, he looked even more handsome.
Gu Qingyao laughed. “Elder Brother, it looks great on you!”
“Is that so? Hahahaha!” Gu Jinlin guffawed with delight over his new clothes and his younger cousin’s compliment.
The new year was always a happy time.
Gu Yunshen had reached a decision. He had finally decided to agree to the Mo family’s proposal.
When he discussed it with the family, everyone agreed. So Wen Ruyu sent Jiang Yingqiu a message.
On the second night of the new year, Jiang Yingqiu and Mo Beihan personally visited the Gu family, bringing with them some presents. They had specially come to discuss the engagement date.
Gu Qingyao remained in her room.
What was happening now was very different for her.
In this lifetime, she was getting engaged to Elder Brother Beihan so soon?
Her life had changed completely!
This felt good!
Gu Qingyao thought about it. She was doing better and better. She would take care of her cousins, and all the other relatives and friends whom she cared for. Everyone’s lives would improve.
She wanted to be well prepared. When the era of freedom arrived, she would be ready for action!
Gu Qingyao smiled.
That day, Mo Beihan did not say anything to Gu Qingyao, but kept the elders company. It was not appropriate for Gu Qingyao to be present on this occasion, so she had no choice but to stay in her room.
