Gu Zhendong's face was slightly pale, so he probably wasn't lying.
Little did he know, this was a side effect of him staying up all night staring at her.
"Is your head really that bad?" Lu Huan looked at Gu Zhendong's head with concern, as if a huge hole had been punched in his forehead. "Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
Gu Zhendong listened to her pleasant voice and said, "No need, I'm much better now."
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic." Gu Zhendong said seriously, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to leave the Lu family, but Lu Zhong disagreed?"
Lu Huan nodded; Lu Zhong indeed disagreed with her moving out.
She had been troubled by this for a long time. "Do you have any ideas?"
Gu Zhendong certainly had a way, otherwise he wouldn't have brought this up.
"Or perhaps you haven't thought about marriage yet. We can live together for a while to get to know each other. However, I still prefer legal cohabitation. After we get married, you will naturally move in with me, which will be a good way to get rid of the constraints imposed on you by the Lu family. What do you think?"
In fact, all it would take to get Lu Zhong to agree to Lu Huan moving out is a word from Gu Zhendong, and Lu Zhong would have complied.
However, Gu Zhendong was a man with ulterior motives, and he deliberately guided Lu Huan in this direction.
"..."
Lu Huan was silent for a few seconds. In the end, all he was trying to do was use the excuse of moving out of the Lu family to lure her into marrying him.
It has to be said that this is a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
She never thought marriage would ever happen to her, but then she met this man, and in just one month, she fell head over heels for him.
Lu Huan was unsure whether she should agree, but a voice inside her kept tempting her: if this person really was Gu Zhendong, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
Can I think about it?
If she says she'll think about it, it means she's already interested.
Gu Zhendong only needed to exert a little more effort to get her to make a decision as soon as possible, so he nodded and said, "Okay, tell me your answer before you leave this room."
Lu Huan: ...
So, if she doesn't give me an answer, I won't be able to leave this room?
Lu Huan hesitated for a long time. After all, marriage is a very important matter, and one cannot be too decisive in life.
Gu Zhendong continued to tempt her: "After we get married, you can do whatever you want. I won't control you. You can spend my money however you want and buy whatever you want."
"Really? No matter what I do, you won't interfere?" Lu Huan's eyes lit up instantly, and Gu Zhendong nodded almost without hesitation.
After she marries Gu Zhendong, it's just a matter of having another certificate.
This would allow her to completely break free from the Lu family and happily do what she likes. Looking at it this way, it seems she has no reason to refuse marrying Gu Zhendong.
Lu Huan nervously twisted the blanket and said softly, "A simple ring will do."
"Um?"
Gu Zhendong was stunned for a moment. "A simple ring?"
Could it be the one he's thinking of?
Looking at her, meeting Lu Huan's shy eyes, he asked in a low voice, "Does this mean you've accepted my proposal?"
Lu Huan's face flushed red, and she bit her lip tightly. Her meaning was so obvious, how could he still not understand?
Lu Huan didn't say anything more, but the man in front of her suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.
The sudden embrace was so strong that she could barely breathe in his arms.
"Gu..."
She pushed him away forcefully against his chest, and heard Gu Zhendong's voice above her head, "Don't move, let me hug you, I'm so happy!"
The man's usually cold voice showed a rare change, and the joy in his tone was quite obvious.
She looked up and glanced at him. It was a rare sight to see Gu Zhendong smile. It was completely different from his usual cold and aloof demeanor. He seemed even more alluring.
Lu Huan's lips curved into a smile. After agreeing to marry him, the weight on her chest slowly lifted.
She fiddled with the man's shirt, her voice soft as she said, "I smell a bit bad, why don't you let go of me first?"
To be honest, even she herself was disgusted by the smell on her, let alone Gu Zhendong, who has a cleanliness obsession, who could still hug her.
"It's okay, just hug me for a little while longer."
In the living room, Grandpa Gu was incredibly excited. It turned out that his grandson had taken a liking to the young girl first.
The old man had presbyopia and didn't have his reading glasses with him, so he asked Kong Xun to call his daughter-in-law.
When Yan Rong received the call, she was having a beauty treatment with some friends. Upon hearing that her son had a girlfriend, she excitedly asked someone to wash off her face mask. "Dad, are you serious? You're not joking, are you?"
Grandpa Gu frowned with a serious expression. "I saw it with my own eyes. That brat Zhen Dong was hugging that young girl. I'm still in the apartment right now. You'd better come over here right away!"
"Okay, okay, I'm coming right away!" Yan Rong sat up abruptly. "Dad, take a couple of pictures and show them to me first!"
Grandpa Gu readily agreed, "Alright, alright, I understand!"
After hanging up the phone, the old man looked at the basic mobile phone in his hand and muttered, "How do you take pictures with this basic mobile phone?"
The old man's basic mobile phone doesn't have many functions, but it does have a camera, though the image quality isn't very clear.
He glanced at Kong Xun and said, "Take your phone and take a picture of my granddaughter-in-law."
Upon hearing this request, Kong Xun immediately looked distressed. "Mr. Gu, how could I dare to photograph Miss Lu? If Mr. Gu finds out, I'm doomed!"
Gu Zhendong has an extremely strong possessive desire for Lu Huan and doesn't like anyone coveting her. Even just a glance from her will make Gu Zhendong's face darken.
Grandpa Gu knew his temperament well; he'd been like this since he was a child. Anyone who dared to touch his things would suffer terribly.
"That……"
The old man wanted his daughter-in-law to see photos of his granddaughter-in-law, but Kong Xun immediately said, "I have other photos of Miss Lu."
Kong Xun immediately downloaded a few photos of Lu Huan competing for the campus beauty pageant from S University's school forum and showed them to the old man. "Mr. Gu, what do you think of these?"
The little girl in the photo is fair-skinned and clean; she looks like a well-behaved child. "Okay, send me these photos!"
"This is your old-fashioned phone, it doesn't have WeChat, so I can't send a message."
Grandpa Gu wanted to save a few photos of his granddaughter-in-law to show off to his old friends later, but when he heard that his old-fashioned phone couldn't save photos, he immediately frowned and said, "I'll get rid of this crappy phone right away!"
Following the old man's advice, Kong Xun quickly sent the photos to Yan Rong.
Yan Rong took a liking to Lu Huan at first sight when she saw her photo.
He hurriedly instructed the driver to go to Gu Zhendong's apartment, "Wait, let's go to the mall first."
You can't go to meet your daughter-in-law empty-handed for the first time.
After informing Yan Rong, the old man told Gu Youhai the good news, and then told all his friends, as if he wanted to announce it to the whole world.
Lu Huan, who had just accepted Gu Zhendong's marriage proposal, had no idea that her marriage to Gu Zhendong was already known to most of the people in S City.
Lu Huan blushed as she stepped out of Gu Zhendong's arms, scratching her hair shyly. "I want to take a shower first."
Gu Zhendong hummed in agreement, and then she asked, "Do you have any clean clothes to change into?"
This put Gu Zhendong in a difficult position.
Gu Zhendong lives alone year-round, so there are no women's clothes in his apartment.
Gu Zhendong got up and went out for a few minutes. When he came back, he was holding a clean and brand-new set of pajamas. He handed it to her and said, "You can wear mine for now. I'll have Kong Xun go and buy some new ones."
She had no other choice but to accept it. Lu Huan took it, "Alright then!"
"By the way, what size clothes do you wear?"
"Huh?"
"How can I buy it for you if you don't tell me?"
"..."
In novels, the typical plot is that the male protagonist has sharp eyes and can tell the female protagonist's size at a glance.
Why is it different when it comes to Gu Zhendong?
Could it be that everything described in the novel is fake?
Lu Huan blushed and told him her clothing size, then shyly grabbed his pajamas and ran into the bathroom.
Lu Huan stood in front of the sink, splashed cold water on her face, and was startled when she saw herself in the mirror.
Holy crap!
Who is this ugly woman in the mirror?
Her hair was a mess, and her face looked extremely haggard. She had been vomiting so badly that she kept crying, and her eyes were red and swollen, making her look like a female ghost!
Lu Huan almost cried. How could she talk to Gu Zhendong with this face on?
Lu Huan looked at herself with increasing disgust, wondering how Gu Zhen could still have the idea of marriage when faced with such a face as hers!
Gu Zhendong then stepped out of the room, meeting four curious gazes.
Grandpa Gu and Kong Xun looked over curiously, wanting to know what intense thing had happened between them inside. Gu Zhendong had just taken a set of clothes inside.
Gu Zhendong coughed softly and sat down with a calm expression. "Grandpa, look again, you can't find two holes in my body."
Grandpa Gu gave an awkward smile and touched the cane in his hand. "I'm asking you, how far have you two progressed? Have you done *that*?"
Gu Zhendong twitched his lips speechlessly, knowing what the old man was thinking.
The whole family is extremely eager for him to get married and have children as soon as possible. For example, just now, Lu Huan's situation made the old man misunderstand due to his excitement.
Gu Zhendong took a sip of cold water and explained, "She just happened to be drunk last night, which is why she's staying here. Also, the way you were acting just now scared her."
Grandpa Gu immediately puffed out his beard and glared, "How could someone as kind as me possibly scare anyone!"
Gu Zhendong was too lazy to talk, so he turned around and ordered Kong Xun to buy women's clothes. He was about to give Kong Xun the sizes, but then he thought that if he did, he would be telling other men about Lu Huan.
Kong Xun was listening attentively when he saw Gu Zhendong stop halfway through his sentence. He looked at him in confusion, and then heard Gu Zhendong say, "Never mind, I'll go by myself."
Kong Xun: ...
However, Gu Zhendong did not go in person in the end because Yan Rong called to ask what Lu Huan liked.
Gu Zhendong frowned. "Mom, how did you know?"
Then, turning to the two people beside him, Old Master Gu coughed and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Your mother has the right to know too!"
Gu Zhendong snorted coldly, guessing that his mother was no longer the only one who knew.
Gu Zhendong casually mentioned a few things Lu Huan liked, and then asked her to bring some clothes over.
Lu Huan: Who was it that said they wouldn't control me after we got married?
Gu Zhendong: I never said such a thing.
