Chapter 281
"Mm." After Fan Xiaoxiao agreed, she felt relieved.
When she looked directly into Gu Chongtai's eyes, it was Gu Chongtai, who had just boldly proposed, who became shy.
"You can't go back on your word."
"Um."
After confirming repeatedly, the two held hands and stared at each other.
So now they are engaged.
Gu Zhongtai hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Then, shall we get married after we arrive in Qingzhou?"
Fan Xiaoxiao frowned and shook her head decisively: "No."
"Why?" Gu Zhongtai couldn't understand, but judging from Fan Xiaoxiao's expression, she didn't seem to be going back on her word.
"Could it be that Xiaoxiao plans to wait until the court is overthrown?"
He asked tentatively.
Fan Xiaoxiao shook her head: "That's a sure-fire way to die!"
She explained it in simple terms: "It means that things can change quickly."
“…Huh?” Gu Zhongtai was startled.
"If you don't mind the simplicity, let's get married tomorrow!" Fan Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and made the decision directly.
Things developed so quickly that Gu Zhongtai was completely stunned.
"Xiaoxiao...did you lust after me all along?"
"Absolutely not!"
Fan Xiaoxiao was starting to regret it.
However, this arrangement was not made because of any rush.
This is not an ordinary world, but a fictional world.
The death flag is not just a baseless rumor.
"become."
Fortunately, Boss Gu did not object or ask any further questions.
"Are you hungry?" Fan Xiaoxiao wanted to leave, but her hand was held tightly, so she could only give a slight hint.
"I'm not hungry." Gu Chongtai was still immersed in the surprise and wished they could stay together forever.
Fan Xiaoxiao wanted to say that she was a little hungry.
But thinking back, I realized I had actually eaten a lot.
Now, watching the man she used to eat so much gluttonously, he is about to become her husband.
A subtle sense of awkwardness immediately arose.
I can't even pronounce the word "hungry".
But it's not right to keep being led and watched over by Boss Gu like this.
She cleared her throat and took half a step forward.
“That… Chongtai…”
Now that the title has been established, calling him "big boss" would be too formal.
But calling him "husband" is also inappropriate.
As a compromise, they called him by his name.
However, when she actually shouted it out, Fan Xiaoxiao still felt a strange sense of shame.
"Hmm." Gu Chongtai's smile vanished, replaced by nervousness, trepidation, and seriousness as he answered.
"Do you want... a hug?" Although Fan Xiaoxiao had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs run.
It's perfectly normal for couples to hug each other.
The other person was clearly surprised after I said it.
She hesitated, taking a half-step back: "Maybe we should just forget about it..."
By the time Gu Zhongtai realized what was happening, he had already taken two steps forward: "Yes, I want it."
His reasoning was sound: "Since we're getting married, this... is unavoidable."
But while he spoke with such righteous indignation, he had just taken a rather large step.
So whether they hugged or not, the two of them ended up sticking together.
Fan Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and reached out to wrap her arms around his waist.
Although Gu Zhongtai is usually lazy, he has practiced martial arts for many years and is extremely skilled.
So when you hugged her, her waist was so slender that even Fan Xiaoxiao, a woman, felt a little jealous.
The so-called "slim and narrow waist" is nothing more than this.
The night was quiet, with the faint sounds of laughter from the banquet in the distance.
Gu Zhongtai could smell the gentle and pleasant fragrance of the girl in his arms as soon as he lowered his head.
He took a deep breath and hugged her even tighter.
Just when he felt he could ask for nothing more.
Fan Xiaoxiao let go of him, and when she looked up, she met his eyes.
Her small hand moved up and grabbed his collar: "Kiss me?"
Gu Zhongtai was surprised when the girl pulled his face down.
Fan Xiaoxiao tiptoed and offered her lips.
She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. This time, there was no wine, no moonlight, and no snow.
His heart was pounding like a drum, and in a state of lucidity, he engaged in a heated argument with his beloved.
Without realizing it, he hugged the person in front of him tightly...
The night grows warmer...
Only the lights flickered in the wind.
...
...
Whether in modern or ancient times.
Fan Xiaoxiao believes that love is all about kissing, hugging, and lifting each other up high.
Fortunately, her boss managed to do it last night.
The person who was supposed to meet them hasn't arrived yet.
Early in the morning, Fan Xiaoxiao announced to everyone that she was going to marry Gu Zhongtai.
This really caught us off guard.
So much so that they didn't even have wedding clothes.
The town had been dilapidated for a long time, but fortunately, the locals still had red cloth available for use in their homes.
While piecing things together, Fan Xiaoxiao received quite a few gifts.
Among them, Bai Zhaoyan lingered outside the door for a long time.
Fan Xiaoxiao was quite surprised when she noticed, and quickly called her in: "Lady Bai, what's wrong?"
"Come in and say what you have to say."
Although, realistically, the wedding couldn't take place the next day, Gu Zhongtai didn't go anywhere and stayed by his soon-to-be wife's side every day.
They are still inside the house at this moment.
Bai Chaoyan smiled, a sigh on her face, and took out a box from her bosom.
“I have a red phoenix hairpin here.” She pushed the box in front of Fan Xiaoxiao.
“It was given to me by my mother back then.”
Bai Chaoyan's family fell into decline and he encountered great turmoil, so you can imagine how precious this thing is.
When the box was opened, her expression was one of lingering affection and reluctance.
Fan Xiaoxiao quickly pushed it back: "How can this be?"
"At first glance, this is the dowry your mother gave you when you got married. I can't accept it."
Bai Chaoyan gave a bitter smile: "Now that the Tianshan Sect is gone, my marriage to Xiahou won't be so quick."
Fan Xiaoxiao thought for a moment.
Indeed, Bai Zhaoyan is the female lead, and if the plot is to develop, the relationship between the male and female leads will not be so easy.
However, this cannot be a reason to accept valuables from the female lead.
But Bai Chaoyan seemed adamant: "Weddings are simple these days, and you don't even have a decent hairpin or jewelry, so don't stand on ceremony with me."
The marriage was a spur-of-the-moment decision, but Fan Xiaoxiao actually had resources and money at her disposal.
Unfortunately, there are no towns where you can buy jewelry.
In that unknown town at the foot of the mountain, let alone jewelry, under special circumstances, only food and supplies would be valued.
When Fan Xiaoxiao got married, her makeup and hair were probably just made do with red ribbons.
Bai Chaoyan did this to repay the kindness of being taken in and cared for by him from Tianshan Town to Tianshan Village.
She was seriously injured back then, and if it weren't for Fan Xiaoxiao and others taking her in...
They'd probably be buried in the snowy mountains by now.
"Take it." Bai Chaoyan stood up. "If Brother Xiahou were here, he would definitely do the same."
Fan Xiaoxiao was taken aback after hearing this.
By the time she realized what was happening, Bai Chaoyan had already left the room.
“This…” Take the female lead’s important things.
Especially since it's a dowry given by someone else's mother, wouldn't you want to repay it a hundredfold?
While Fan Xiaoxiao was churning with ideas and hesitating.
Gu Zhongtai had already opened the box.
He took out a red phoenix hairpin and put it in her hair.
He looked it over and nodded with a smile, saying, "I think it looks good."
"What is the lady hesitating about?"
