Chapter 191 A Great Honor
"Hello, I'm contestant number ten. Your match just now was absolutely amazing." A boy in a competition uniform blocked Gu Ji's path.
"Can I add you on WeChat?" The boy scratched his head shyly, avoiding eye contact with Gu Ji.
Just as Gu Ji was about to refuse, he heard a deep, familiar voice from behind him.
"I'm so sorry, classmate, but my fiancée probably can't add me on WeChat." A hand forcefully wrapped around Gu Ji's slender waist.
The guy probably didn't expect to flirt with a married woman. He smiled at Gu Ji and left.
"You've become so domineering now?" Gu Ji looked at the large hand that was holding her waist, and her almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile.
Dan Anwen lowered his head slightly, his breath brushing against the girl's shoulders and neck, making her feel ticklish. "If I don't act more domineering, you'll be kidnapped by someone else."
In just a short while, several boys had asked the girl for her WeChat, and he was already feeling threatened, so naturally he wanted to assert his dominance.
Gu Ji smiled but did not reply. After the final of the ancient poetry competition, many boys stopped her and asked for her contact information, but she was not interested and simply told them that she had a fiancé.
"Let's go, I want to eat crayfish." Gu Ji pulled Dan Anwen out of the arena.
"How are you planning to celebrate your birthday this year?" Dan Anwen asked as he opened the car door.
After getting into the car, Gu Ji lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Why not just do it the same as in previous years?"
Every year on her birthday, Uncle Dan accompanies her, giving her surprises and gifts, which she finds quite nice.
"Would you like to celebrate this birthday under a different identity?" Dan Anwen leaned over to fasten Gu Ji's seatbelt.
"What do you mean?" Gu Ji asked, puzzled. What identity were they talking about?
Dan Anwen curled her lips into a seductive smile and said slowly, "Don't you want to celebrate this birthday as Mrs. Dan?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Ji paused in his drinking, then began to cough violently, his face flushing crimson, completely covering his fair skin.
"Be careful." Dan Anwen gently patted Gu Ji's back.
Gu Ji opened her large, watery eyes, as if they were wet with dew, and said, "Uncle Dan, you're too impatient."
They've only been engaged for a short time, and they've already gone straight to being husband and wife. Even a rocket couldn't have made it this fast!
"But little friend, I'm already twenty-eight years old. If I don't get married soon, I'll really become an old bachelor. Can you bear that?" Dan Anwen hung his head, pretending to be pitiful to Gu Ji.
He doesn't actually care when he gets married; what he cares about is making the child his, completely his, so that no one else has a chance to covet him.
He found himself to be anxious and insecure when dealing with children.
The age gap between him and the child is too large. He doesn't know if the child will get tired of him in the future, or if he will think he is a boring man.
Gu Ji had no idea what he was thinking. Seeing the usually reserved and composed man now looking like a wounded wolfhound, she felt a pang of heartache.
"It's not that I can't get married, it's just that I'm not ready to be a wife yet." Gu Ji nervously picked at his fingers.
She was only nineteen years old. She couldn't be sure if she would be a good wife in the future, and she was even less sure if she had the ability to run a family with Uncle Dan.
“This is our first time being each other’s partner. I can’t guarantee that I will be a good husband, but I can assure you that I will do my best, and I believe you can do it too.”
Dan Anwen pulled Gu Ji into his arms, gently stroking her head, his voice low and full of sincerity and reassurance.
No one is born knowing how to play the roles of husband and wife well; it is always through constant exploration and trial and error that one learns.
Gu Ji remained silent, clinging to the man's strong waist, her slender white fingers nervously gripping his shirt.
"It's alright. If you're not fully equipped yet, I can wait for you. I firmly believe you will be my Mrs. Dan." Dan Anwen's thin lips kissed the girl's smooth forehead.
He will not force a child if she is not ready.
Gu Ji lifted her head from the man's chest, her eyes sparkling like stars. "It's an honor to be Mr. Dan's wife."
A look of surprise flashed across Dan Anwen's eyes, which quickly turned into one of delight, her voice trembling slightly, "You agreed?"
"Well, since you're not afraid of having a reckless and ignorant wife, why should I be afraid?" Gu Ji smiled and nodded firmly.
At this age, she hadn't figured out how to be a good wife, but she knew that Uncle Dan would tolerate her little temper and teach her how to conduct herself in society. She believed that as long as the man in front of her was there, she would definitely be able to become a wife who would satisfy him.
"I don't need you to be sensible, I like your recklessness." Dan Anwen leaned down and kissed Gu Ji's lips, her eyes squinting upwards.
The little girl is like a wife he raised with his own hands; all her strengths and weaknesses are shining points in his eyes.
"Mr. Dan, can we go eat now? Your future Mrs. Dan is very hungry." Gu Ji touched his stomach embarrassedly. After a game, either his brain or his stomach was empty first.
Dan Anwen started the car, raising his eyebrows in a good mood, his phoenix eyes sparkling with starlight, his heart and eyes filled with the delicate girl in front of him, "We can go now, future Mrs. Dan."
Gu Ji smiled and met the man's gaze.
......
"Uncle Dan, why aren't you asleep yet?" Gu Ji was hungry in the middle of the night and went downstairs to find something to eat, only to find the light in the man's study still on.
Dan Anwen put down his black and gold fountain pen, took the water glass from Gu Ji and placed it on the table, then pulled her to sit on his lap. "I'm a little excited, so I can't sleep."
Tomorrow is his daughter's birthday, and he's been looking forward to it. He couldn't sleep in bed, so he got up and did some chores so he could make time to go on their honeymoon.
"I'm having trouble sleeping too." Gu Ji chuckled. Anyone would be excited to know they were getting married tomorrow, especially since the groom was the man she loved.
Dan Anwen stroked the diamond ring on Gu Ji's finger and asked, "Little friend, you really don't want to have a wedding?"
Ever since he proposed to her, he had been secretly preparing for the wedding, but she rejected him.
Gu Ji nestled in the man's arms, idly playing with his slender fingers. "Is it too high-profile to do it now? I'm still in college."
Seeing the man's dejected look, Gu Ji cupped his handsome face and kissed him on both cheeks. "After I graduate, you can do whatever you want, okay?"
Dan Anwen pinched her small nose and said, "You're just sure I won't do anything to you."
"So, Mr. Dan, would you be willing to be completely under my control?" Gu Ji asked playfully on his face.
"It would be my honor," Dan Anwen said with a smile, her eyes filled with tenderness.
