Chapter 790: Preparing A Matrimonial Home (1)
Ji Mingyue was stunned!
She was completely bewildered by Gu Jinhangs words.
Ma-marry him?
Gu Jinhang had babbled so much nonsense before he finally spat out these two words. When he saw that the girl was deeply shocked, he raised his eyebrows and said seriously, Did I say something wrong?
Ah? I mean Ji Mingyues mind had turned to mush. She could not keep up with him at all.
Gu Jinhang laughed. Im your older brothers good friend. Of course I wont mistreat you. Among the Gu familys grandchildren, I am also the successor. Marrying me will increase your status.
The Gu family and the Bai family are in two different camps, and there is no love lost between us. It doesnt matter to me if I offend them by marrying you!
Especially since the Gu familys power and connections are pretty good. In the future, we will certainly be a match for the Bai family. You dont have to worry that we will make things difficult for you because of the Bai family. Among the younger generation in the capital, I am fairly outstanding. Dont you think that marrying me is a pretty good choice?
Ji Mingyue:
How should she respond?
She knew that Gu Jinhang was the Gu familys next successor. Based on his abilities, it did seem that marrying him was a good choice.
But
Ji Mingyue was still looking dazed. Gu Jinhang chuckled and slowly drew closer. The two of them were very close to each other. He bent a little and moved even closer to her.
Do you want to consider me? If you agree, Ill bring you to beat the wits out of Bai Chi!
Ji Mingyue:
But Gu Jinhangs words had unsettled Ji Mingyue. Later on, she was very distracted when Gu Qingyao was teaching her how to cook.
Mingyue, whats the matter?
Gu Qingyao asked when she saw Mingyues attention wandering off again and again.
No-nothing! Ji Mingyue shrank back guiltily. Her heart was pounding. She could not calm herself down.
Gu Qingyao cooked most of the lunch. Ji Mingyue only cooked a few dishes, which tasted rather bland.
Ji Mingyue was rather embarra.s.sed. She put the food she had cooked aside.
She stayed at the Gu house for lunch.
The Old Master and Old Madam were there. Eldest Uncles family was not there that day, so it was just Second Uncle, Second Aunt, and Gu Fangting.
Mo Beihan stayed too. The little fellow, Mu Mu, adored Gu Qingyao. Today was the weekend, so he had come over for a meal too.
There were so many people at the table. Gu Jinhang and Mo Beihan went into the kitchen to help bring out the dishes.
Gu Jinhang saw a few dishes that did not look very nice, which had been placed to one side. He reached out and brought them out.
Ji Mingyue was getting the drinks and did not notice.
When she brought the drinks to the table, she naturally sat next to Gu Qingyao. She was most familiar with Gu Qingyao, so she was used to sitting with her. Mo Beihan sat at Gu Qingyaos other side.
She had just sat down when she saw Gu Jinhang bringing her pathetic-looking dishes. He sat down next to her and calmly placed the slightly charred food on the table in front of himself.
Ji Mingyue:
She was already unsettled from the mornings incident. Now this person was sitting next to her, which agitated her further. Then she looked at her failed dishes and felt even more embarra.s.sed.
Second Brother Gu, these these were failures, dont
She wanted to tell him not to eat them, but before she could finish her sentence, Gu Jinhang had already picked up his chopsticks and tried them. Theyre all right! I think theyre not bad. I saw them in the kitchen, so I brought them out!
Ji Mingyue:
