Chapter 654: Dong Yao

nervous, her eyes fixed on Director Xiao onstage, her palms sweating. 。This was her first time participating in this kind of bidding meeting, and it was also Director Xiao's first time truly leading...Later, Gu Ruandong and YaoYao chose another day to return to Beijing with their parents. They went to visit the Lu family patriarch, ostensibly for a visit but actually to formally propose marriage according to old traditions. While the Lu family no longer adhered to elaborate formalities, the Gu family still followed proper etiquette.

Lu Shaoxing also made a special trip back to Beijing. He knew that the old man had now accepted Gu Ruandong, and even if he opposed it, there was nothing he could do. Besides, Gu Ruandong's words and deeds over the past year were all seen by him, and in short, YaoYao's happiness was the most important thing.

When Gu Jia came, she made quite an entrance. She arrived in two cars, with two drivers and two nannies, and they were carrying a lot of luggage into the Lu family's home. It was truly reminiscent of how wealthy families acted in old times.

These are all arranged by Mother Gu. She believes this marriage is a high climb for the Gu family, and since she offended Yaoyao before, this time she is trying her best to express her sincerity. She knows that in front of the wealthy Lu family, only sincerity is most valuable.

The living room was full of things Gu's mother had brought, so much that Yao Yao was speechless. It was really unnecessary.

In her view, her marriage to Gu Ruandong was a matter between the two of them and had nothing to do with their families. A meal together for both sets of parents was enough to maintain the relationship.

It's not that she's naive, but considering Gu Ruan Dong's personality, he probably wouldn't involve his parents in their marital life. He respects and cherishes his own parents, even her father and grandfather, but he also wouldn't let them arrange their marriage.

... At that time, at the dinner table, both families were talking merrily. The elder also let go of his resentment and reluctance, sincerely accepting the Gu family. They talked about their childhood stories, and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. None of them expected that looking out the window...

Two people who were previously unrelated would fall in love and come together. After expressing their emotions, both sets of parents reached a consensus to get married as soon as possible and have children as soon as possible.

The old man said, "They both look good, and their children will certainly be beautiful in the future."

The elderly person is eagerly looking forward to holding their great-grandchild.

Gu's mother was even more eager; with a child, the relationship between the two families would be more solid, and she would feel more at ease.

But Gu Ruandong, who had been silent all along, spoke up at this moment, his tone firm: "Yao Yao and I aren't planning on having children for now."

It's not temporary, it's that he doesn't want to have children at all. It's not that he dislikes children; in his heart, YaoYao is still a child, and he doesn't want her to bear even the slightest pain.

Mrs. Gu was anxious. He wasn't young anymore, and now was the best age to have children. But she didn't dare to voice her opinion, knowing that she had little influence in front of her son. So she looked to the elder hoping he would say something.

The old man just paused for a moment. He found himself liking Gu Ruandong more and more now, knowing that he was a decisive person, so he said generously: "That's good too, Yaoyao is still young, you two plan it out." This meeting went very smoothly, and after that, they just needed to pick a good auspicious day to get their marriage license and hold the wedding.

After dinner, Gu's parents wanted to go home. Yao Yao and her father, Lu Shaoxing, went out together to see them off. After they left, Lu Shaoxing glanced at her:

"Do your parents know about you and Gu Ruandong"

"Yes, we have video calls every week. She's also video-called with Gu Ruandong and likes him very much."

Lu Shaoxing couldn't help but feel a little lost. Since his ex-wife asked him to be himself last time, she had never contacted him again.

"If you get married, will Mom come back" Lu Shaoxing asked again.

After their divorce, her mother rarely returned to the country. Only he would fly over to see her from time to time, of course, most of the time being turned away at the door.

"Dad, so I'm just your tool person then" Lu Yaoyao said with a smile.

She didn't feel much about her parents' divorce because she knew they both loved her, and her living environment remained unchanged. As a result, she wasn't sensitive to the situation. This insensitivity meant that she was completely detached from whether or not her parents would remarry, taking a nonchalant attitude.

"You'll always be Daddy's little princess." Lu Shaoxing said it without much feeling, because he immediately continued to ask:

"Will Mom come back"

Yaoyao originally didn't intend to get involved in her parents' relationship. Even with her parents, she had boundaries. But seeing her father ask like this, she patiently said...

"Mom will come back to my wedding. But Dad, what difference does it make if Mom comes back She has her own life now, and you wouldn't want to give up the women around you."

"As long as she is willing to come back to me, I am willing to separate from all other women."

"Yao Yao shook her head: "Dad, you have it backward. It's not that you separate from other women when Mom comes back, but you have to separate first for Mom to have a chance of coming back."

That is only possible.

Mom was also raised with love and care at home. She was a very independent person from a young age, and she often said to me: "I'm still working hard to grow even at my age, to give myself more possibilities. I push myself to be better, not for dating, not for men. I am myself, and there is more to my life than just love, there's this vibrant life too."

Sometimes, Lu YaoYao felt that her parents were quite a match in some ways.

They all love life and pursue self-improvement. This might also be the reason why they were attracted to each other back then.

Lu Shaoxing seemed to have never considered the order of things. After his divorce, he enjoyed casual relationships with women, but if his ex-wife wanted to come back, he was willing to immediately cut ties with them all. He believed he was sincere enough.

"At my wedding, Mom will be back. If you truly can't let go, then you two should have a good talk about it then."

Lu Yao saw Gu Ruandong waiting for her, so after saying that, she hurried over.

He was just in the house with his grandfather, and when he came out, he heard her talking to her dad. He hugged her and said, "Look at our YaoYao, all grown up."

Lu Yaoyao suddenly thought of what she had said at the dinner table just now. When he said that they didn't have any plans to have children for the time being, she felt a little embarrassed and asked...

“When I grow up, can I give birth to a baby for my brother”

She was joking, she never thought about it.

The result seemed to frighten Gu Ruandong. He was stunned for a moment, then his tone became somewhat serious.

“Yaoyao, when we get back to Senzhou, let's have a good talk.”

Yao Yao didn't expect that a casual joke would make him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy. He felt a bit uncomfortable inside:

"Are you really going to give up the child"

It's still about the order in which she talked to her father. She doesn't necessarily want a child, it's just that this is something between the two of them. He made the decision to not have children without ever discussing it with her, regardless of his reasons, it's disrespectful towards her.

Gu Ruandong sensed her unhappiness, but he couldn't immediately figure out why she was upset. To be honest, he hadn't really thought about the issue of having children himself. He just felt that she was delicate and afraid of pain, so...

I don't want her to suffer.onlessly. 。The clinic in this village was fairly decent, with a male doctor and a female nurse who was in charge of injections and medication. As soon as they heard that she had a stomach ache, they a...
