After things were discussed openly, both Liu Jiu and Mu Nanfang felt a different kind of emotion. They couldn't quite describe it, but it was wonderful and sweet.
After enjoying a delicious seafood meal at Lin's Restaurant, the two parted ways at the gate of the courtyard and went their separate ways home.
"Sis, what were you saying?"
Sanqi and Gu Xuanyi had been waiting, eager to get the firsthand news.
"We've said everything we need to say. We're not old enough to get a marriage certificate yet, so let's just stay together like this for now."
Liu Jiu spoke the truth, which left San Qi and Gu Xuanyi with some unspeakable feelings.
"That's all you've said. Have you talked about the future relationship? Is it a romantic relationship, or just friends or brothers?"
"You'll marry your friends, your brothers?"
Liu Jiu felt that the two of them were acting a bit strange today, asking all sorts of inexplicable questions.
"You two just started dating and you're already talking about marriage? That's way too fast."
Gu Xuanyi wondered if the two of them were joking around. Who doesn't enjoy the beauty of love when they're discussing mundane things like food, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea?
“We not only discussed marriage, but also talked about raising children in the future.”
Liu Jiu didn't want to talk to them anymore, so she went upstairs to read.
Listening to his sister's words, Sanqi thought to herself that Mu Nanfang was a real oddball. She had silently waited for so long, and finally he had made it clear that they were getting married, skipping the process and going straight to the end, and he was still happy about it.
Mu Nanfang, who was being teased by Sanqi, didn't think he was weird at all. He was very happy. He had been promoted ahead of schedule and didn't have to worry about Liujiu suddenly having a breakthrough one day, and that he wouldn't be the lucky one.
"What's making you so happy? You're even humming a song."
Mu Beifang was resting at home today, having nothing to do. Seeing Mu Laosan enter with a beaming face, humming a tune, he knew something good must have happened.
"It's good news, Second Brother. You need to hurry up and find someone, otherwise, I'll get married first and then you won't be able to wait for me."
Mu Nanfang remembered that her second brother didn't have a girlfriend yet, so she quickly told him. Judging from Liu Jiu's words, she wasn't opposed to getting married after graduation, and since she was of legal age, she could get a marriage certificate.
"So you've officially become a girlfriend? The girl knows how you feel and has agreed to date you?"
"Of course. Although I don't know which kind person helped, Liu Jiu really understood my feelings. She also thinks I'm a good person. We're just waiting for the right age to get our marriage certificate."
Mu Nanfang vaguely guessed that it must have been something Ma Zijun said that caused Liu Jiu to suddenly have an epiphany. He originally wanted to treat Ma Zijun to a meal to thank him, but that would be a bit hurtful, so he decided to thank him in his heart instead.
"Did Commander Gu agree?"
Mu Beifang's precise strike jolted Mu Nanfang back to reality. Right, there was still the hurdle of Commander Gu. He could sense that Aunt Gu liked him quite a bit, but Commander Gu... he was a little afraid.
"Well, he doesn't know yet. I'll just wait quietly for his summons. I can withstand the test and I'll definitely pass. You should worry about yourself and find someone soon, otherwise your kids will have to call my kids 'brother' or 'sister' in the future."
Mu Nanfang retaliated against his second brother without hesitation, saying that he spends all his time in the lab and that the organization will have to help him find a partner in the future.
Fortunately, no one else was home; otherwise, it would have caused quite a stir.
Mu Nanfang wasn't afraid. He made his own decisions, and others only had the right to offer suggestions, not the right to make decisions.
When Gu Ye got home from get off work that evening, he sensed that the atmosphere at home was a bit strange.
What happened?
"Dad, I've decided to date Mu Nanfang with marriage in mind, and we'll get married when we reach the legal age. What do you think?"
As soon as Liu Jiu finished speaking, Gu Ye was completely taken aback.
"Not so great. Who are you with, Mu Nanfang? Huh? I knew it. Why was this kid so enthusiastic, helping you with your studies, explaining problems, and even teaching you computer skills? Turns out he had ulterior motives all along."
He hid it well enough. When did he start having these thoughts? What a great actor, he fooled us all. How could I not have thought of that? I even thought he was a good person, kind-hearted. Bullshit, he's just a jerk asking for a beating.
Everyone in the room was startled. They didn't expect Commander Gu to react so strongly. It seemed like he was going to tear Mu Nanfang apart!
"Go change your clothes first. Don't get angry before eating; it's bad for your health."
Bonnie dragged Gu Ye back to his room, not expecting him to react so strongly; she was furious.
"Did you already know this?"
"No, she only realized it this morning. Liu Jiu took the initiative to ask her. She was confused herself. But you should know your daughter. She doesn't like ambiguity and wants to understand things clearly."
Gu Ye calmed down a bit and composed himself, but the thought of Mu Nanfang having been thinking about his daughter for so long still made his anger surge uncontrollably.
"Alright, I understand how you feel, that Mu Nanfang lied to us. But this kid did a good job. Although he realized he liked Liu Jiu, he didn't rush to tell her. If it weren't for the sudden confession from the Ma family kid, which made Liu Jiu realize her feelings, he would have waited until Liu Jiu was an adult before telling her."
As our child grows up, we parents can't ignore this fact. Liu Jiu is simple-minded and straightforward; she'll stay in the military to develop her career. Mu Nanfang is a good match for Liu Jiu in many ways; he can take good care of her, and they understand each other.
Liu Jiu told me that she wants to live a life like her parents'—warm and ordinary. They'll discuss things together, have children together, and her partner will inevitably have to dedicate more time and energy to the family, which Mu Nanfang is willing to do.
