Chapter 1173 (1/2)

Huo wanyue pounced on her first. Huo qiaoan reminded her to slow down. Chu Xinlan hugged her and poked her nose, “be careful, you don’t have to be afraid of falling after running like that. ”

“I think it’s time to call her aunt. ”

Gu Ruochu saw the two of them standing together and understood.

Chu Xinlan coughed softly, feeling a little shy.

“You’ve both decided on each other? ”

“Yes. ”

Gu Zexi clenched the hand of the person next to him. Gu Ruochu could see the determination in their relationship. They had been torturing each other for years, there should be a result.

“I didn’t think much of you back then because Xinlan was still very young at that time. Since you’ve already decided on each other, there’s nothing much for me to say. I’m not one of those pedantic parents who would insist on finding a partner for you. You’re not young anymore, it’s time for you to get engaged.”

Chu Xinlan was mentally prepared to be reprimanded. After all, she had harbored impure thoughts when she had approached Gu Zexi back then.

But now, the old man had actually said that he wanted to get engaged.

“Grandfather, I’m sorry. ” Chu Xinlan felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She was extremely grateful towards the old man and forgave her for what she had done in her youth.

The old man waved his hand, “since we’re all here, it’s not convenient for us to leave tonight. Have the housekeeper bring a few people to clean up the room upstairs. We’ll sleep here tonight. ”

“thank you, Grandfather. ”

“Alright, I’ve told you that grandfather isn’t such a pedantic person. ”

Besides, he dotes on his grandchildren the most.

After dinner, the two children fell asleep early.

In the courtyard, the defeated peony had retracted all its splendor. Gu ruochu looked at the withered branches and felt that time had passed very quickly.

“When the children are older, let them go abroad to gain experience. Let them change to another country and let them paint their own lives with their own colors. ”

“Alright. ”
