Gu Mingjing knew about Gu Zhan's inner thoughts and expectations over the years. He always knew that Gu Zhan had set his eyes on Uncle Jian's precious daughter, the little girl named Jian Shu.

After all, Gu Zhan had never concealed it, and he had to say a few words to Gu Mingjing every now and then.

Thinking of Jianshu, Gu Mingjing imagined a delicate little baby, chubby and adorable. Its rosy cheeks and chubby fists looked so sweet that you just wanted to take a bite.

He hasn't seen Uncle Jian in these years because Uncle Jian was very wary of him because of what happened that year.

He had also visited Uncle Jian and Uncle Zhao in the capital over the years, but had never met Jian Shu.

The first or second time he thought it was a coincidence, but after so many times, he realized that Uncle Jian had deliberately sent the girl away and prevented the two from meeting.

So when mentioning Jianshu, Gu Mingjing thought of that little baby. He still remembered that when he was young, he was lying beside the cradle of little Jianshu, staring at the little baby in the cradle without blinking, as if the little person in front of him would disappear if he glanced away.

When she heard her father telling Uncle Jian at the dinner table that he wanted to arrange a marriage for her and little Jianshu, she asked her father what it meant. Her father replied that he wanted little Jianshu to be his wife.

At that time, little Gu Mingjing didn't know what his young wife did specifically. He heard his father say that his young wife was his closest person and that the two of them would live together for the rest of their lives without separation.

He didn't hear anything else, but he heard a sentence that didn't separate. Little Gu Mingjing, who loved little Jianshu very much, clapped his hands happily and said, "Xiaojing wants to get engaged to Xiaoshu."

At that moment, Uncle Jian's face at the table turned dark, while the others were so happy that they were laughing so hard that they fell forward and backward.

Little Gu Mingjing didn't know what everyone was laughing at, so he started laughing foolishly too. Jian Yucheng was the only one at the table with a gloomy face, looking out of place.

Recalling his childhood, Gu Mingjing couldn't help feeling embarrassed. He was truly ignorant and fearless back then. No wonder Uncle Jian never treated him well in those years.

在人家老父亲面前说要娶人家的还是幼儿的女儿，那不是找死吗？也就是他当年年纪小，不然肯定得挨揍。

"Chief Gu, does he have a favorite? Who is it? Is she so outstanding that you, his own son, have been waiting for so many years?" Sheng Zhiye asked curiously.

Whose girl is this that makes Chief Gu ignore his own son and just wait for that girl?

Gu Mingjing glanced at him and said, "It's not your blind date, why are you asking so many questions?"

He still knows what to say and what not to say.

"Hehe, I'm just curious." Sheng Zhiye knew that Gu Mingjing would definitely not say it, so he said with a smile.

Looking at Sheng Zhiye's current appearance, he is no longer the usual majestic Captain Sheng.

"Then why did you suddenly agree to go on a blind date? Usually, so many people introduced you to potential partners, but you avoided them, didn't you? Why did you agree this time?" Sheng Zhiye asked curiously again.

Does this guy always run away when someone mentions introducing him to someone? Why did he change his mind this time?

People say women are gossipy, but sometimes men are just as gossipy.

Why did he agree? Gu Mingjing didn't know. He had always been good-looking, and from the time he started school until he joined the army, he had been constantly approached by people confessing their feelings for him and matchmaking with him. But at that time, he was extremely annoyed, and basically avoided them whenever he could, and rejected them mercilessly when he couldn't.

But why didn’t he refuse when his father asked him to go on a blind date this time?

Gu Mingjing thought about it. Maybe it was because his father had been nagging him to marry Jianshu for many years; maybe it was because of the innocent words he said as a child; maybe it was because of what he heard from his father over the years; the image of the slowly growing girl... Maybe it was because of many, many reasons that made him not resist in his heart and silently agreed to his father's proposal.

Of course, it is impossible to tell Sheng Zhiye these reasons, as he will definitely laugh at him.

Gu Mingjing made up an excuse, "My dad has already spoken, how dare I not go? If I say no one second, he might kick me out of the house the next second."

Of course, this is not a complete lie. After all, if he really dared to refuse, even if his father did not kick him out of the house, the consequences would not be good.

"Really? You are not lying to me, are you? Are you so obedient?" Sheng Zhiye looked unconvinced.

If this kid could be obedient, even a sow could climb a tree.

"Of course it's true. How could I, such a filial person, bear to make my old father angry?" Gu Mingjing said with a filial look on his face.

Sheng Zhiye was even more unconvinced, but he had no way to refute it. After all, Gu Zhan had never arranged a blind date for Gu Mingjing before, so he didn't know if Gu Mingjing would be so obedient in this matter.

"Just lie to me, I'm used to it anyway. Okay, how long do you want to take leave for this time?" Sheng Zhiye didn't argue with him anymore and got back to business.

When Gu Mingjing heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately said, "One month!"

"Impossible! You are asking for too much." Sheng Zhiye refused directly.

A month, he was dreaming, how could we possibly give him a month's vacation.

"One week." Sheng Zhiye said.

Suddenly, three-quarters of the vacation time was gone.

"Twenty-five days." Gu Mingjing narrowed his eyes and bargained.

"Do you think this is a bargaining market? Ten days is not enough." Sheng Zhiye said.
