In order to give her gratitude to the family who t...

Chapter 48

Is he getting old and his eyesight is failing?

Overcome with emotion, Old Master Gu grabbed Kong Xun's hand and exclaimed, "Tell me quickly, am I dreaming?"

Despite his age, the old man was surprisingly strong, squeezing Kong Xun's hand until it turned white. Kong Xun endured the pain and explained with a grimaced face, "Mr. Gu, that's Mr. Gu's girlfriend!"

"What? You're in a relationship? When did that happen?"

Grandpa Gu dreamed of having a granddaughter-in-law, but unfortunately, his grandson hadn't been able to get it over the years.

He was shown all the photos of socialites and heiresses in S City, but unfortunately, Gu Zhendong was very picky and didn't like any of them.

Gu Zhendong used to not want to be with women, firstly because he found them troublesome, and secondly because he felt he wouldn't live long enough to need them.

After some time away, his grandson's blockhead finally came to his senses and brought a girlfriend home. Grandpa Gu was both surprised and delighted, and it seemed that he would soon be holding his great-grandson.

Grandpa Gu walked over, leaning on his cane, and said, "Let me see what your little girlfriend looks like!"

What kind of stunning beauty could make his grandson fall head over heels for her?

Lu Huan, nestled in Gu Zhendong's arms, was startled by the sudden appearance of the two people, and her face turned even paler.

Could this elderly gentleman in front of me be Gu Zhendong's grandfather?

Just as a guess formed in her mind, she heard Gu Zhendong call out expressionlessly, "Grandpa, what brings you here?"

"..."

It really was his grandfather!

Lu Huan struggled to get off Gu Zhendong's arms.

Gu Zhendong was stronger than she had imagined, holding her tightly. Sensing her movements, he hissed in a low, fierce voice, "Don't move!"

Lu Huan felt extremely wronged. How dare she yell at her in front of her grandfather? Did she have no shame?

Lu Huan had just vomited, and her eyes were terribly wet and red. She glared at Gu Zhendong with a pitiful look, but her eyes were quite fierce.

Gu Zhendong's lips twitched, and he placed her on the sofa, explaining in a low voice, "I was afraid you would fall!"

It moves around a lot, just like when it sleeps at night; it doesn't know how to stay still.

Lu Huan snorted and turned his head away.

That's interesting, really interesting.

Grandpa Gu was truly amazed by the interaction between the young couple.

There was someone who dared to glare at his own grandson, and Gu Zhendong wasn't even angry.

This girl is not only beautiful, but also quite capable; she actually managed to subdue Gu Zhendong.

"Little girl, what's your name? How old are you?"

Before Lu Huan could answer, Gu Zhendong blurted out, "Grandpa, her name is Lu Huan!"

"Shut up! I was asking the young girl, not you!"

Grandpa Gu immediately scolded Gu Zhendong fiercely, then turned to Lu Huan with a kind smile, "Little girl, don't be afraid. I'm his grandfather. With me here, he won't dare to be mean to you!"

"Tell Grandpa, how long have you been together?"

After all, he was an elder, so Lu Huan gave a proper self-introduction, while secretly glancing at Gu Zhendong, and answered softly, "We've been together for over a month."

The old man was shocked. It's been more than a month already?

A month ago, he introduced a few young girls to Gu Zhendong, who looked completely uninterested in women, but then he found himself with a girlfriend.

This kid really kept it a secret; he didn't even tell his elders.

The old man immediately straightened his face and sternly reprimanded Gu Zhendong, "What's wrong with you!"

The voice suddenly became louder, startling Lu Huan. Her heart skipped a beat, and the nausea rose up again. She hurriedly ran to the bathroom.

Gu Zhendong quickly grabbed her wrist and accompanied her.

What happened?

When Grandpa Gu saw the two disappear together at the bathroom door, no one answered his questions.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of vomiting came from the bathroom.

His pupils slowly dilated, and then he looked delighted.

Is the young lady pregnant?

Grandpa Gu couldn't wait to announce Lu Huan's pregnancy to the world, so he hurriedly stood up and went to the bathroom door to check on Lu Huan's condition.

After vomiting again, Lu Huan was completely devastated and vowed that she would never drink again.

Gu Zhendong told her to bring her out, but when she saw the old man standing at the door, he was directing Gu Zhendong with a worried expression, "If you hold her like that, the little girl will be uncomfortable. Quickly, put her on the bed to rest! What are you standing there for? Hurry up!"

Urged by the old man, Gu Zhendong carried Lu Huan into the bedroom and placed her on the bed.

Gu Zhendong was doing these things for the first time, and his movements were a bit clumsy. The old man was very displeased with him and scolded, "You're so clumsy, can't you be a little gentler!"

Be careful not to hurt his great-grandson!

The old man impatiently waved his hand and snapped, "Go pour some water right now!"

Gu Zhendong: ...

Lu Huan leaned weakly against the pillow, her lips pale. "Grandpa, I'm fine, I don't need water!"

"What do you mean 'it's nothing'? Just take good care of yourself and don't move around too much," Grandpa Gu muttered, then looked at Gu Zhendong, "Why don't you hurry up and pour some water for Huanhuan to soothe her throat? Remember, it should be warm water, not too hot or too cold!"

Gu Zhendong has always been the one to order people around; he has never been the one to be ordered around.

Despite his reluctance, Gu Zhendong glanced at Lu Huan's pale face, then silently went to the kitchen, poured a glass of warm water, and handed it to Lu Huan.

Lu Huan whispered a thank you, took a sip of water, and instantly felt much better in her throat.

The old man looked at Lu Huan with a loving expression and asked peacefully, "How many months pregnant are you?"

The girl looked thin and frail; if it weren't for her severe morning sickness, you really wouldn't be able to tell she was pregnant!

Lu Huan had just taken a sip of hot water when he heard the old man's words, and he couldn't help but spit it out.

"Pregnant?"

She's still a virgin, she's only ever kissed men, nothing else, how could she possibly be pregnant!

Realizing her rudeness, Lu Huan quickly covered her mouth with her hand and apologized in a flustered manner, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I didn't mean to!"

"It's alright, it's alright!"

Grandpa Gu didn't mind at all, and then asked, "When do you plan to marry my grandson?"

"..."

The old man's meaning was clear: since she was pregnant, they should hurry up and get their marriage certificate and have the wedding, lest people say they were taking advantage of their family.

Lu Huan remained silent for a while, exchanged a glance with Gu Zhendong, and explained, "No, Grandpa, you've misunderstood. I'm not pregnant!"

"What? Not pregnant? Then what you just did..."

The old man was so shocked that he couldn't speak; for a moment, the words were stuck in his throat.

If she's not pregnant, then why is her face so pale from vomiting?

Gu Zhendong was also startled by the old man's words. After understanding why the old man had such a misunderstanding, he said with a dark face, "Didn't you smell the alcohol on her?"

What pregnant woman would drink so much alcohol that she reeks of alcohol?

"..."

Grandpa Gu was stunned by the question. He had just seen Lu Huan vomit and, in his excitement, assumed she was pregnant, without ever considering that possibility.

The old man sullenly touched his cane, "As I get older, my sense of smell naturally isn't as good as it used to be!"

Now, after Gu Zhendong's reminder, it does seem to have a slightly unpleasant smell of alcohol.

The old man had made a fool of himself and was a little embarrassed. He laughed awkwardly twice and said, "It's alright, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. You should take good care of yourself first!"

He left the bedroom, just as Kong Xun returned from buying medicine.

Kong Xun, unaware of the misunderstanding, called out to Elder Gu and quickly took the medicine inside.

After leaving, Kong Xun was stopped by Old Master Gu and questioned.

They recounted everything from how they met to how their relationship began.

As an assistant, Kong Xun knew quite a few secrets. He then told the old man the latest developments, "By the way, President Gu proposed to Miss Lu a few days ago, but was rejected, which is why he fell ill!"

"What?" The old man was taken aback, looking at Kong Xun with a suspicious gaze. "Are you serious? He proposed to someone?"

Kong Xun nodded repeatedly, saying that this was even more real than real gold.

What's truly surprising isn't that Gu Zhendong's marriage proposal was rejected, but that he proposed to someone else. The old man knows Gu Zhendong better than anyone and knows the reasons why he doesn't want to get married.

But to his utter surprise, one day, someone would make him change his mind.

I have to say, Lu Huan is really amazing.

Inside the room, after being mistaken for pregnant by the old man, Lu Huan's pale face flushed with a shy pink, and she didn't dare to look up at Gu Zhendong beside her.

The atmosphere was too quiet, and Lu Huan felt a little lost. She wanted to sneak a peek at Gu Zhendong.

The man was also looking at her, and their eyes met instantly. Lu Huan felt her cheeks get even hotter.

She instinctively twisted the blanket, completely still, and bit her lip, asking, "How did I get here?"

“You drank too much with Yan Shi last night. Fu Hanshen notified Kong Xun, and he came to pick you up.”

Lu Huan suddenly realized, "So this is your home?"

Gu Zhendong hummed in agreement, and the conversation ended there, the air falling silent.

Lu Huan bit her lip, unsure of what to say next.

She glanced at the man in front of her out of the corner of her eye, her mind a jumble. Should she go back?

"I'm going back now."

"Lu Huan, let's talk!"

Gu Zhendong suddenly became serious and called her name with a solemn expression.

Lu Huan's back stiffened instantly, and she stared at him with wide eyes, tense and frightened.

He suddenly called my name so coldly, could it be that he wants to break up?

Lu Huan's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she looked at the man with watery eyes, pouting as if she was about to cry.

Anyone who didn't know the situation would think that she had been bullied by Gu Zhendong!

What do you want to say?

What kind of wedding ring do you want?

Um? ? ?

Weren't we talking about breaking up? How did we get onto the wedding ring?!

“I’ve asked around, and Kong Xun said that a proposal requires an engagement ring and a romantic setting. I don’t know what kind of setting you like, so I’d like to ask for your opinion first.”

Lu Huan was completely stunned. "Weren't you going to break up with me?"

Gu Zhendong frowned and looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Break up? Why?"

“You haven’t contacted me for the past few days, and you haven’t replied to my messages, so I thought you wanted to break up with me!” Lu Huan answered honestly.

"You messaged me?" Gu Zhendong finally had time to look at his phone. Lu Huan had messaged him yesterday. He explained, "I caught a cold a few days ago and didn't want to infect you. As for messages, I had a terrible headache yesterday and didn't check my phone."

So the breakup thing was all in her imagination. Why did she get herself so drunk?

I made such a mess of myself and lost face in front of him. Now that I think about it, I really want to dig a hole and bury myself.
