Since Cheng Qicai and Ms. Yun each drove there, they also drove separately on their way back and then met up at Ms. Yun's house.

Cheng Qicai looked at Gu Rongqi, who was driving, and hesitated to speak.

Gu Rongqi noticed her frequent glances at him. He looked ahead at the road and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sigh, you know, things have turned out like this. I should have told my mom and the others not to come."

Cheng Qicai frowned, feeling extremely regretful.

When Ms. Yun and the others said they were coming, Cheng Qicai was afraid that such a scene would occur, but she didn't expect it to happen anyway.

"It's nothing. It's just that my dad had a bad attitude. My aunt came to visit out of kindness, but she was upset by my dad's attitude. It's normal for her to be angry."

He thought that reminding Grubber would ensure a peaceful meal, but it seems he overestimated Grubber's soft heart.

Looking at Gu Rongqi's calm face, Cheng Qicai tapped her fingers. "I'll talk to my mom about the marriage proposal later. There's no need for this."

There's no need to change what's already been agreed upon.

"But……"

Cheng Qicai thought for a long time but still didn't know what to say. In the end, she sighed and remained silent.

The car fell silent.

Cheng Qicai looked at the constantly changing route ahead, her mind wandering through many thoughts, yet also seemingly without any.

Ms. Yun was waiting for them in the community garage, and the group went upstairs together.

The atmosphere was solemn as they entered the house from the parking lot. Ms. Yun sighed as she looked at Cheng Qicai and Gu Rongqi sitting side by side.

Cheng Qicai looked at Ms. Yun and the others and said, "Mom, I think we should reconsider the matter of him marrying into the family?"

"Yes, Xiao Qi, what I said earlier was a bit hasty. You can think about this for a couple of days before making a decision."

Ms. Yun's voice is much calmer now.

When Gu Rongqi agreed, her feelings were also complicated.

Gu Rongqi is a very trustworthy person, but his family is not. The things she said to Gu Lubo were indeed based on that.

But she was afraid that the circumstances and her words at the time forced him to agree, which is why she was now asking Gu Rongqi to think it over carefully.

“Auntie, since I’ve agreed, it means I’ve already made up my mind.” Gu Rongqi looked at Ms. Yun and the others with sincere eyes.

“Then when your parents get old…” Mr. Cheng looked at him with a frown.

“They can live just fine without me. Didn’t you say I could go back to see them? It’s all pretty much the same. They have their lives, and I have mine.”

Just like his grandfather, who now lives alone in country G, his great-grandmother, who is over seventy years old, is full of energy and travels everywhere. Last time her grandfather was sick, she came back to visit him once. After confirming that he had nothing else to do, she set off again according to the route she had planned.

His maternal grandparents also found a small town abroad to settle down on their own.

Therefore, Gu Lubo doesn't need to worry about what will happen after he gets old; the Gu family's wealth is enough to support any of their ideas.

Mr. Cheng nodded, "Alright, it's good that you've thought it through. Your aunt said it's an arranged marriage, but it's no different from a regular marriage. It doesn't matter who marries whom; it's the two of you who will live your lives together. As long as you're happy together, that's what matters. You know Qicai's personality; she seems stubborn but is actually soft-hearted. We were genuinely worried about her going to your house..."

Gu Rongqi nodded honestly, "I know, Uncle."

"Xiao Qi, don't worry. Once you come to our home, we'll treat you like our own son. If Qi Cai does anything wrong, just tell us." Ms. Yun's gaze softened, and she made her promise earnestly. "We also believe that you're good to Qi Cai."

"I will, Auntie."

The three of them seemed to be performing some kind of grand and solemn handover ceremony.

Cheng Qicai, standing outside the ceremony, looked at the three of them, completely bewildered.

"Mom, is it really like this?" Cheng Qicai looked at them in shock, then anxiously looked at Gu Rongqi, "Gu Rongqi, you really agree?"

So... this is the final draft?

She was in a daze the whole way, feeling like the events of the day were a dream.

"What else do you want?" Ms. Yun looked at her with dissatisfaction. "Xiao Qi has already made up his mind, and you still have objections? I'll have someone check the time tomorrow and see which day is suitable for you two to get your marriage certificate."

Upon hearing about getting their marriage certificate, Cheng Qicai was completely devastated.

“Mom, I think this is still negotiable.” Cheng Qicai’s expression was resistant. “Why rush things? Besides, his parents might not let him marry into my family like this.”

This is not what she expected. She has finally made some money and hasn't had enough of her carefree single life. Now she's being asked to get married. She's not ready for this!

This question made Ms. Yun look at Gu Rongqi.

“Auntie, I’m an adult, I can make my own decisions. I also have a household registration book here…”

Cheng Qicai nudged Gu Rongqi with her elbow; who told him to say that?

Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire?

Gu Rongqi pursed his lips, looking at Ms. Yun and Mr. Cheng, "Auntie, Uncle, if Qicai doesn't want to, she doesn't have to hurry..."

Judging from his speech and expression, Cheng Qi knew that something bad was going to happen.

As expected...

Ms. Yun's heart swayed directly towards Gu Rongqi, and her dissatisfaction followed closely behind: "Xiaoqi, don't listen to her. If you agree to her, who knows when your marriage will ever take place."

She glared at Cheng Qicai and said, "Don't you have any conscience? Xiao Qi is so sincere, and you're still making excuses. You've always liked to procrastinate on everything since you were little. Now you're about to get married, and you're still dragging your feet."

"If I don't push you a bit, you'll just keep jumping around in the same spot all day long."

Cheng Qicai: "..."

"What do you mean you're getting married? It's all just talk," Cheng Qicai thought to herself.

It's all Gu Rongqi's fault for putting on that pitiful and coerced act, which is why she was attacked by Ms. Yun.

Cheng Qicai glared at Gu Rongqi.

Seeing her expression, Ms. Yun said to her in an annoyed tone, "Let's just say it like this, stop with all the dawdling."

Her affection for Gu Rongqi had reached its peak, and Cheng Qicai knew that no matter what she said, she would be bombarded into dust by her attacks.

Mr. Cheng and the others sighed silently. He said to Gu Rongqi, "Rongqi, you weren't full yet, were you? I'll make you some dumplings. Qicai, you guys have some too?"

Cheng Qicai nodded, "I only need a few."
