Chief Instructor is a royal prince of Penalan. If I marry over, Ill be the princess consort!

Gu Qingjiu spoke in a single breath.

Hiss

Not only did Qi Yuefeng gasp, Gu Xiaoxi, and Gu Hong both turned their heads around with widened eyes on the sofa.

What did you just say?

What havent you told us, child? Hurry up and tell us everything.

Qi Yuefengs countenance changed.

Knowing that Helian Nianchengs family was rich was one thing, but to suddenly find out he was a member of the royal family was another.

How could an ordinary family like theirs dream of becoming in-laws with such a family?

The bomb Gu Qingjiu tossed threw everyone off-guard.

Gu Qingjiu was made to kneel as punishment, which was quite rare.

Kneeling on the sofa, she held her ears and recounted the entire incident.

She, a sharpshooter who just conquered the international competition arena, was being threatened with a feather duster by her mother at home.

If others were to see it, she would be utterly embarrassed.

Gu Xiaoxi jumped up and down by the side.

Young ladies liked to dream. Hearing the word princess consort especially triggered Gu Xiaoxis curiosity.

She pressed Gu Qingjiu about what exactly happened.

By the time Gu Qingjiu finished recounting everything, Qi Yuefeng was done cooking.

She watched eagerly as Qi Yuefeng brought the dishes to the table. Gu Qingjiu, who had already finished recounting the entire incident, gulped down her saliva as she gazed at the tantalizing and aromatic dishes she hadnt seen and smelled in a long while. Cant I eat?

Youre not to eat!

Qi Yuefeng let out a hmph as she shook a rice bowl.

Gu Qingjiu retracted her gaze immediately.

Child, youve never suffered a beating. You dont know the severity of this matter. Never mind that you got married without informing us. You didnt even tell us about your husboyfriends influential background. If something bad happened to your mother, its because you startled her!

Gu Qingjiu, too, felt aggrieved. I knew that I should have told you a long time ago. But I just didnt know how to break it to you and Dad. I was astounded back then and also found it hard to accept!

Sometimes, when the words got to your throat, there was an unknown force suppressing it and making you unable to say it out loud.

She was afraid they would be shocked.

But now that she finally said it, it was indeed very shocking. Gu Qingjiu also regretted not telling them earlier.

At least so everyone could be mentally prepared.

She had only herself to blame.

She had thought too simply of things.

After all, she had never gotten married before and lacked the experience

Then you should have told us back then. At least now, we wont be so passive.

Qi Yuefeng finished arranging the chopsticks and shouted for Gu Xiaoxi to come to the dinner table.

Gu Xiaoxi cast a sympathetic glance at Gu Qingjiu and didnt dare to plead on her behalf.

Gu Qingjiu looked pitifully towards Gu Hong, who rolled his eyes in an unrefined manner with a bowl in his hands.

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

Why was her dad so hateful all of a sudden?

So youre saying that Niancheng has already arranged your wedding over there and that he would be here in a few days?

Gu Qingjiu nodded hurriedly. Right, right, right. Hell come over to propose marriage in a few days. Propose marriage!

Why are you still talking about proposing a marriage now? Its not like we can object when youre already married.

Qi Yuefengs heart softened, and she sighed. Forget it, come over and eat.

Gu Hong sputtered with laughter as he gazed at Qi Yuefeng. Youre an interesting character.

Gu Qingjiu hurriedly went over, picked up a bowl and filled it up with rice, then took the chance to complain, Dad, youre anxious to see the world in disorder.
