391 The Secret About the Past 9 (2/2)
”Son, but you two haven't known each other for long yet.”
”I'm afraid I won't feel like getting married anymore if I wait too long.”
”Alright, I'll pass the register to you later,” Mrs. Gu conceded.
That evening, Gu Beicheng and Lin Mingxi were photographed coming out of the restaurant hand in hand, after which the photos were reported on the news.
The next morning, Lin Mingxi's sister, Lin Mingyuan, made a trip down to the Gu Corporation office and asked to meet Gu Beicheng.
Looking at the woman who resembled Lin Mingxi standing in front of him, Gu Beicheng greeted, ”Have a seat.”
Lin Mingyuan sat down opposite him and got straight to the point, ”I don't want you to date Mingxi.”
Being a sharp and experienced businessman, Gu Beicheng could see right through her.
”Do your parents know about your objection?”
”It doesn't matter whether they know or not. What's important is that you know. Gu Beicheng, you and Mingxi are way too incompatible. You two should stop dating each other.”
”You're telling me what to do? Ms. Lin, aren't you poking your nose too far into my business?” Gu Beicheng hissed with a stern expression.
”Gu Beicheng, I know you two only met a few times. If you agree to stop seeing her, I'm willing to grant you many benefits.”
”I think you've belittled me, Ms. Lin. I won't mention how much stronger the Gu Corporation is compared to the Lin Corporation. But do you actually think I'd be after the benefits you offer me? If there's nothing else, please take your leave.”
Lin Mingyuan did not expect him to dismiss her directly and show her the door.
With a look of disdain, she stood up quickly and stared at him one last time before picking up her purse to leave.
Gu Beicheng put his pen down onto the table.
Five minutes later, his secretary entered and reported, ”Mr. CEO, Ms. Lin Mingxi is here.”
”Let her in.”
Lin Mingxi was dressed in white with a blue purse in her hand. She entered his office and closed the door behind her.
”I know my sister just came by. I don't care what she said to you, but there's something I'd like to ask you…” She took out her personal identification card and household register from her purse before continuing, ”Gu Beicheng, are you willing to marry me?”
Gu Beicheng looked at the time on his wristwatch and said, ”It's nine o'clock in the morning now and it's Monday today. This is a good timing to get married.”
He stood up and put on his blazer. Staring at him while he buttoned his blazer, Lin Mingxi asked in surprise, ”Gu Beicheng, you… you've agreed?”
”What else?” Gu Beicheng then took the lead and walked out of the office. ”Let's go.”
Lin Mingxi hurriedly chased after him with her personal identification card and household register.

A smile formed on An Xiaoning's face as soon as she put down the phone.
Great.
She had always felt guilty towards Gu Beicheng for not reciprocating his feelings for her. Thus, she was elated to hear about him and Lin Mingxi registering their marriage.
She picked out a set of clothes, which she planned to wear to the gathering.
An Xiaoning placed a sheet of facial mask over her face and laid down in bed to read some books.
The door was pushed open all of a sudden and Mei Yangyang popped up by the door.
”Yangyang! You're back.”
Mei Yangyang rushed inside and exclaimed gleefully, ”Sis, I bought you a lot of presents!”
Mei Yangyang placed the two large bags she was carrying onto the ground and said, ”I also bought presents for the three children. Thank you for helping me look after them while we were not around.”
”Don't mention it, I didn't look after them much anyway, they're at the kindergarten most of the time.”
An Xiaoning sat up and said, ”There happens to be a gathering with the members of the exercise boot camp tonight. Since you're back, let's attend it together. Bring along your family.”
Mei Yangyang chuckled and said, ”Tianze would definitely agree to go.”
”By the way, Beicheng and Lin Mingxi just registered their marriage.”
”Lin… Lin Mingxi!?! That's really shocking, how did Lin Mingxi and Gu Beicheng…?” Mei Yangyang exclaimed in bewilderment.
