On their way home, the group spoke as usual, but the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
Gu Rongqi really didn't expect that Gu Lubo would come here for inspection and that they would run into each other.
When the group returned home, Ms. Yun took the pears out of the bag and washed them.
"Xiao Qi, have some pears." Ms. Yun placed the plate of pears on the table.
Cheng Qicai picked up a pear, then took the knife from the table and cut the pear in half.
She handed one half to Gu Rongqi, then picked up the other half and began to gnaw on it.
Seeing that Gu Rongqi didn't answer, Cheng Qicai gave him a strange look.
"I'll get a new one to eat."
Cheng Qicai was even more puzzled, "Aren't they all the same?"
Gu Rongqi said calmly, "Dividing pears has a bad connotation."
"So superstitious?" Cheng Qicai's eyes crinkled with laughter, making her easy to like and feel happy about.
"Um."
Seeing Gu Rongqi actually take a fresh pear and start eating it, Cheng Qicai couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha..."
"Alright, all you do is grin like an idiot all day long." Ms. Yun couldn't help but glare at her.
Cheng Qicai immediately shut her mouth.
Ms. Yun looked at Gu Rongqi again. She hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Xiaoqi, have you thought about what you two should do in the future?"
Gu Rongqi was taken aback, his body stiffening for a moment. Just as he was about to open his mouth to answer, Cheng Qicai spoke first.
Cheng Qicai frowned at her, her tone somewhat displeased, "Mom, why are you bringing this up?"
She had clearly agreed with Ms. Yun and the others not to talk about this before, but now she's bringing it up again.
Ms. Yun rolled her eyes at her. It was precisely because she didn't consider anything that she was worried.
“Auntie,” Gu Rongqi said earnestly and solemnly, “I want to marry Qicai.”
Ms. Yun was taken aback, then looked away after seeing the shock on Cheng Qicai's face. "But what about your parents..."
“My mom has already agreed, but my dad might still have some reservations… However, I can take responsibility for my own marriage. Now that I've moved out, I can guarantee they won't be able to interfere with my life with Qicai…”
"I've invested a lot before, I can definitely afford to raise Seven Colors..." Gu Rongqi's assurance was somewhat inadequate.
He rarely felt awkward.
Like a child who can't pass the exam.
"What are you talking about?" Cheng Qicai interrupted, not understanding the increasingly serious topic. "No, why are we talking about marriage now? Isn't that a long way off? Gu Rongqi and I have only been dating for a little over three months. It's too early. We should at least be together for two years before talking about this, right?"
As soon as Cheng Qicai finished speaking, Gu Rongqi and Ms. Yun looked at her at the same time.
"What's wrong...?" Cheng Qicai's momentum weakened as she was stared at by the two of them.
She felt that she hadn't said anything wrong, right?
Two years later, she was only 27, and she could afford to buy her own house. That was when it was time to talk about marriage.
"Two years?" Ms. Yun looked at her incredulously and asked again, "You plan to negotiate for another two years?"
Cheng Qicai nodded.
Ms. Yun couldn't help but recall what Cheng Qicai had said to them that day.
When it's time to break up, find someone younger...
"Seven Colors, I'll be 32 by then." Gu Rongqi took a bite of the pear in his hand.
"32? Aren't most people in your social circle getting married quite late? It's very common at your age," Cheng Qicai said casually.
She used to be a little anxious, but now that she has money, she feels like she has plenty of time, and she doesn't feel as panicked about the future as she used to.
There's a sense of confidence that it's never too late to do anything.
Of course, now I also feel that getting married so early isn't so good.
Anyway, Gu Rongqi's father doesn't agree, so maintaining the status quo is fine.
Go on a trip occasionally, and you can consider this later after you've had your fill of fun.
"..." Ms. Yun felt that her question to Gu Rongqi was a joke in the face of Cheng Qicai's indifferent attitude.
She feels like she's punching cotton and can't exert any force.
If you try to persuade her to get married, Gu Rongqi's parents are still a problem.
If I advise her to break up with him, I'll feel very guilty towards Gu Rongqi.
Seeing the disappointment on Gu Rongqi's face, she felt a burning hatred for Cheng Qicai, who seemed to have the potential to be a "heartless man."
If Cheng Qicai wanted to get married, Gu Rongqi said he wanted to wait two years.
Ms. Yun would probably have already chased him out with a broom.
But right now, Cheng Qicai doesn't want to get married...
Ms. Yun felt even more guilty towards Gu Rongqi, blaming herself for giving birth to such a heartless child.
"..."
Gu Rongqi had always known that Cheng Qicai didn't want to get married, but he didn't expect that Cheng Qicai would start considering marriage two years later.
This is taking too long for him...
He won't consider it.
Gu Rongqi looked at Cheng Qicai with a deep gaze, his drooping eyelashes partially obscuring his eyes, as if he were plotting something.
Cheng Qicai, who was engrossed in watching TV, was completely unaware.
The TV was still playing the melodramatic soap opera that Ms. Yun loved to watch.
The male lead's mother slapped the female lead across the face, yelling with a ferocious expression, "What right do you have to be with him?"
The female lead covered her face, tears streaming down her face, and looked at the male lead's mother: "Because I love him, and he loves me!"
Upon seeing this, Cheng Qicai thought to herself, "Why does this feel like I'm being targeted?"
She switched to another channel and saw a spy drama playing, which made her feel unusually at ease.
Ms. Yun saw that it was almost time, so she went to the kitchen to cook.
