"I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. I absolutely refuse to leave." Gu Zixiao, her face dark, gripped the doorframe of her own front door, making a scene as if she were about to be exiled and sold.
Wang Zhenfeng was speechless: "Brother, my dear brother, you're about to get married. Besides, it's only been two days, why are you making such a fuss?"
According to past customs, Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao should not see each other for a month.
But nowadays, we don't care about that anymore.
If you insist on following that, that's called feudal superstition.
Of course, if you don't bring it out into the open, everyone will understand without saying a word, and they won't really care what you're up to.
However, that approach would be completely ineffective against Gu Zixiao.
Because he didn't have a good relationship with his parents, he had nowhere to stay temporarily.
Gu Zixiao's friends and comrades-in-arms can come and stay temporarily.
But Gu Zixiao wouldn't have it.
He absolutely refused to be separated from his wife, so he kept dragging his feet and only two days left.
This time, neither Grandma Yu nor anyone else could let Gu Zixiao do that again.
They were determined to make Gu Zixiao follow the customs and traditions, otherwise, would the marriage still take place?
They can be superstitious sometimes, you know, and they're just worried that Gu Zixiao and Lan Yao might not have a good time because of this little thing.
So, when Grandma Yu saw that Gu Zixiao was still making a scene at the gate, she was really angry this time.
She stepped forward, slapped Gu Zixiao's shoulder a few times, and then said angrily, "Gu Zixiao, how can you be so ungrateful? If you two can't make it work over such a small thing, won't you regret it then?"
Besides, don't you know what "there's plenty of time" means? There are still many days ahead of you. If you can't even endure these two days, what great things can you possibly accomplish in the future?
Otherwise, I might as well have Lan Yao divorce you. Anyway, a man like you is useless.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zixiao's expression softened immediately. He took a deep breath and said reluctantly, "...I understand."
This time, he didn't cause any more trouble, but was reluctantly dragged away by his comrades.
To be honest, Gu Zixiao's comrades also felt that Gu Zixiao was sometimes like their living ancestor.
I've never seen him so rowdy.
Of course, Gu Zixiao can be really mischievous, but he can also be really reliable when he wants to be.
At least in all these years when they went out on missions with Gu Zixiao, there have never been any deaths or injuries like before.
Although they still get injured now, most of the time it's minor, and their chances of returning safely are much higher.
Last year, they were even sent to the border battlefield and displayed their might, defeating those "curry elephants" so badly that they never dared to come over again, and they were all terrified.
Gu Zixiao was taken away, and the courtyard finally quieted down.
Lan Yao saw Grandma Yu walk in and quickly pulled her to sit down, gently patting her back to comfort her: "Grandma Yu, don't be angry with that guy Gu Zixiao. He's just a child at heart, he'll be fine after a little fuss."
Grandma Yu picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. Ever since Lan Yao came and she started living with Lan Yao, she felt healthier, as if she had become decades younger.
He had a great appetite, was full of energy, and was in good health; even his gray hair had decreased significantly.
Everyone who sees her thinks she's a middle-aged woman, but in reality, Grandma Yu is almost seventy.
She doesn't look like a nimble old lady at all.
Grandma Yu snorted: "I think he's just deliberately trying to make things difficult for me."
However, Grandma Yu knew in her heart that Gu Zixiao actually didn't want to leave Lanyao.
He was terrified that Lan Yao would run away.
I don't know where Gu Zixiao got this idea from.
Anyway, he was still a little scared.
When he went out on missions before, if conditions allowed, he would send dozens of letters home every day.
His method of delivering letters was quite peculiar; it was fast, reaching Lan Yao in the blink of an eye, no matter where Lan Yao was.
Then, Lan Yao would check each letter one by one and reply to them carefully.
Once, out of curiosity, Grandma Yu took a look after obtaining Lan Yao's permission.
Then, Grandma Yu's eyes started twitching.
Because she discovered that Gu Zixiao sometimes wrote nonsense or repeated phrases.
Then, Lan Yao would always reply seriously, without any impatience or perfunctory attitude.
Grandma Yu thought for a moment. If it were her old man who had been dead for many years looking like this, Grandma Yu would definitely be impatient, and might even be too lazy to look at him anymore.
But the young couple didn't do that at all.
Grandma Yu couldn't help but admire the couple in her heart; no wonder they had such a good relationship.
Love is about mutual respect.
If you respect others, they will naturally respect you.
If you don't receive respect, then your relationship will naturally remain the same, or worse, you will part ways.
Therefore, Grandma Yu sincerely hoped that the young couple's life would become more and more prosperous.
Of course, she had secretly asked Lan Yao about it before.
Lan Yao answered as she had expected: "Because he genuinely respected me and put me first. So naturally I should treat him with the same sincerity."
Grandma Yu nodded to indicate that she understood.
Therefore, Grandma Yu did not understand Gu Zixiao's inner thoughts this time.
Lan Yao smiled when she heard what Grandma Yu said, "Anyway, it's only two days. If you don't see him after two days, you'll miss him again."
Grandma Yu complained about Gu Zixiao, but she was also very worried every time Gu Zixiao went out to do a mission.
Grandma Yu genuinely doted on Gu Zixiao as if he were her grandson.
Generally speaking, when Grandma Yu gets something good, she first favors Lan Yao, and secondly, she naturally thinks about Gu Zixiao.
Even though Li Hao has taken care of Grandma Yu for so many years, when it comes to loving someone, Li Hao still ranks after Gu Zixiao.
Li Hao had protested to Grandma Yu about this matter many times before.
Grandma Yu said, "Don't you have your grandma to dote on you? Those two young people don't have anyone like that."
Lan Yao goes without saying; she's an orphan.
Gu Zixiao has family, but it's like she has no family at all.
"Hmph. Who wants him?"
"Yes, yes, we don't want to think about him. We don't want to think about him. Let's go to bed early tonight."
I need to go to the black market to buy things tomorrow. This is the last round of preparations before the wedding.
Therefore, in order to prepare for this wedding, everything must be done perfectly.
Lan Yao didn't want anything to go wrong and affect her wedding.
