349 Son, Ism Your Father 3 (2/2)
”Xiaoning is back.”
”Youqing, come and give Grandpa a hug,” said Mr. Gu as he extended his arms for a hug.
An Youqing scurried towards Mr. Gu and snuggled into his embrace. ”Grandpa, did you miss me?”
”Yes.”
”I missed you too.”
Pointing at his own cheek, Mr. Gu said, ”Come, give Grandpa a kiss.”
An Youqing immediately gave him a peck on his cheek.
”My turn, Youqing,” said Mrs. Gu as she craned her neck towards him.
He gave yet another peck.
All smiles, Mrs. Gu stood up to introduce An Xiaoning to the in-laws. ”Xiaoning, this is Military Commander Xu and his wife, Madam Xu. This is Youran, your elder brother's fiance. We've already decided on a date for their wedding.”
The sight of Military Commander Xu and his family suddenly reminded An Xiaoning of Chi Rui'er's case.
An Xiaoning began to find Youran looking extremely familiar.
Yet, she could not recall where she had seen her.
”Hello, Uncle and Auntie. Nice to meet you, Sis-in-law,” Youran greeted, smiling warmly.
”You must be Xiaoning. You're really gorgeous. But I've never heard that you were married, yet you already have a child,” Mrs. Xu said smilingly.
”Yes.” An Xiaoning replied with a courteous smile.
”In that case, my dearest In-laws, the matter of the wedding is settled then. We'll hold it on the agreed date,” said Military Commander Xu as he stood up in a bid to leave.
Noticing that they had stood up, Mr. and Mrs. Gu hurriedly walked them out.
After sending the Xu family off, the Gu family rejoiced at An Xiaoning's homecoming with An Youqing.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”Mother, since when did Elder Brother get married to the daughter of the Xu family?” An Xiaoning asked.
”I found it rather puzzling as well. I have no idea when your brother started seeing her either.” Mrs. Gu then turned to look at Gu Dongcheng and asked, ”When did you two get together?”
”It's been a few months. We met at a bar and hit it off well right away. She doesn't mind that I'm divorced either, I've told her all about it,” Gu Dongcheng explained.
”She seems like a nice girl. You're not getting any younger too, hurry and get married. Oh, and you too,” Mrs. Gu said, nodding. Facing Gu Beicheng, she asked, ”When are you going to bring a girl home to see me?”
Gu Beicheng chuckled and said, ”Mother, could you not rush me please?”
”I have to rush you. My mind won't be at peace unless you've settled down,” Mrs. Gu said with a sigh.
”What are you worried about? Your son is so handsome, you don't have to be afraid that he can't get you a daughter-in-law,” Gu Beicheng answered.
”All you do is patronize me.” Mrs. Gu grabbed An Xiaoning's hand and said, ”Xiaoning, help me talk some sense into him. He can't go on like this.”
An Xiaoning nodded in agreement. ”Get to know more girls, there's bound to be some who match your type,” said An Xiaoning, making eye contact with Gu Beicheng.
In reality, she was well aware of the reason why Gu Beicheng had been refraining from going on dates with other women. However, she had also hinted at him multiple times that they're not fated to be a couple.
”I know.” Just as Gu Beicheng finished speaking, the butler came scrambling towards them, appearing rather panicked. ”Bad news, there are a bunch of people outside surrounding our courtyard now.”
”What!?! Do you know who they are?” Mr. Gu exclaimed as he sprung up from his seat in shock.
”They're Jin Qingyan's men.”
All eyes were on An Xiaoning, who was seated on the couch and keeping her eyes peeled onto the ground. She knew that Jin Qingyan was trying to take her away forcefully.
She had expected him to behave that way.
She rose from her seat and said, ”I'll go take a look.”
