Is your childhood sweetheart injured?
Gu Mingyue recalled the plot of the original book but did not mention this matter.
"Mingyue, come sit down. You must be tired after coming all this way."
Xia Huiying held onto her hand tightly.
"I'm not tired. Just thinking about seeing Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu makes me happy."
Gu Mingyue spoke from the heart.
She was overjoyed to be away from her heartless family.
At this moment, Lu Limin spoke up: "Xiao Lin, this is Mingyue. Her grandparents were my good friends. She will be living with us from now on."
He then introduced Lu Lin to Gu Mingyue.
The man in front of me was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He had broad shoulders and a high nose bridge, and a sharp, smooth jawline.
Even while seated in a wheelchair, his aloof and icy demeanor was impossible to ignore.
This is her fiancé, Lu Lin.
As she looked at Lu Lin, Lu Lin was also sizing up the person in front of him.
The girl had skin as white as snow, and her eyes were sparkling and bright. Despite her beautiful and charming appearance, her eyes were clean and clear, suggesting that she had been pampered by her family since childhood.
"Hello, Comrade Lu Lin, I am Gu Mingyue."
Gu Mingyue spoke first, extending her hand to greet Lu Lin.
The young girl smiled sweetly, blooming like a delicate flower, so beautiful that one dared not look directly at her.
Lu Lin clenched his fists on his knees, lowering his eyes to hide his inner emotions.
Gu Mingyue's face froze from smiling. The man in front of her didn't move. Just when she thought it was hopeless, he gently squeezed her hand back and quickly pulled away.
"Hello, Comrade Gu, welcome."
Gu Mingyue smiled and said lightly, "Just call me Mingyue."
Lu Lin smiled but didn't say anything.
Lu Limin and Lu Lin went to the study to talk, while Gu Mingyue and Xia Huiying sat in the living room chatting.
“Mingyue, you’ve seen Xiaolin’s situation. He was injured during a mission last year and lost feeling in both legs. The doctor said the chances of recovery are very small… This arranged marriage was just a joke between us adults. If you can’t accept it, then let’s call it off.”
Fearing that Gu Mingyue might overthink things, Xia Huiying continued, "Don't worry, whether this marriage goes through or not, you can stay at home. Your grandmother and I are very close, and her granddaughter is mine. You are our family's child."
While speaking, Xia Huiying kept a close eye on Gu Mingyue's reaction, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
If their grandson hadn't gotten into trouble, they would have done everything in their power to arrange the marriage, but now that things are like this, they can't tie Mingyue down with a childhood betrothal.
The choice ultimately depends on the ideas of these young people.
Regardless of the outcome, she will regard Mingyue as her own child to comfort her old friend's spirit in heaven.
Gu Mingyue wanted to fulfill the marriage arrangement mainly to get rid of her family.
Before coming to Beijing, she had called the Lu family for help, which is why she was able to get rid of the people in the educated youth office.
When the original owner of this body passed away in her previous life, only Lu Lin saw her off. It is only right and wrong that she should repay this kindness.
Given her current situation, her identity is sensitive, and even if someone could protect her for a lifetime, they couldn't protect her forever.
Staying in the Lu family, besides having a legitimate reason to marry Lu Lin, is not suitable in any other capacity.
"Grandma, I like Lu Lin, and I only want to marry him."
With a hint of shyness on her face but a firm look in her eyes, Gu Mingyue spoke these words to Xia Huiying.
Xia Huiying beamed with joy, tears welling in her eyes. She and the old man hadn't misjudged the child; he was a good one.
A pretty girl like Gu Mingyue, even if she doesn't marry Xiao Lin, can still find a good gay man to marry and have children under the Gu family's protection.
But the little girl not only didn't look down on Xiao Lin, but was also willing to marry him and become his wife, which is very rare. This shows that the child has a kind heart!
"Well? Did you hear that? Mingyue is such a good girl, why don't you know how to cherish her!"
Lu Limin looked at his grandson with excitement.
The grandfather and grandson were discussing this matter in the study. Their door was open, and the sounds from downstairs could be heard clearly.
In particular, Gu Mingyue's powerful words clearly reached Lu Lin's ears.
His cheeks flushed red in front of his elders; this person was truly...
I thought she was a dignified lady from a respectable family, but I never expected her to be so bold in her words and actions.
Lu Lin felt a little depressed; it was a pity that such a bright and cheerful girl was a good match for him.
"Grandpa, this is not appropriate."
"What's wrong with it? The girl likes you, so you must be interested in her too, right?"
Lu Lin was speechless for a moment, "No, it's me..."
"What's wrong with you? There are people like you who have come from the battlefield, but they still live well."
Mingyue is a good child. She is willing to be with her grandson. They will live together in the future, and with their help, life won't be too difficult.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. You two can get to know each other and see how things go."
Lu Limin made the final decision.
It's normal for the eldest grandson to have difficulty accepting his current situation, having fallen from grace. As his elders, they need to make plans for him as soon as possible.
Xia Huiying chatted with Gu Mingyue for a while and noticed that Gu Mingyue looked tired.
"Look how busy I've been talking to you, Aunt Liu, is dinner ready yet?"
"It's done."
Xia Huiying: "Let's go eat. After we eat, you can get a good night's sleep."
Although they didn't know when Gu Mingyue would arrive when they called earlier, they still prepared a room in advance.
Apart from the two elderly people and Lu Lin, everyone else in the Lu family was at work.
"Mingyue, eat more meat."
Xia Huiying used serving chopsticks to put a piece of braised pork on Gu Mingyue's plate.
The old man looked at the thin little girl, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes. Seeing that she had no meat on her bones, he thought that she was probably being skimped on food at home. The Gu family was not a family that lacked food and clothing. How could they be such parents!
The two elderly people kept piling food into Gu Mingyue's bowl, which soon became a small mountain.
In order not to waste food, Gu Mingyue had no choice but to finish it all.
After dinner, the two elders went upstairs to rest, leaving only Gu Mingyue and Lu Lin in the living room.
Gu Mingyue felt some discomfort in her abdomen and regretted not eating so much.
well.
She unconsciously curled up, and her face looked somewhat pale.
No, she wanted to go back to lie down. She glanced at Lu Lin discreetly, cleared her throat, and said, "Lu Lin, I'm going back to rest first. You should rest early too."
Lu Lin's gaze lingered on her face for a few seconds before he nodded slightly.
I offered my warm welcome but was met with indifference.
Gu Mingyue was furious. This person was like an ice cube; when would she ever be able to warm him up?
She longed to live a simple life like a millet worm.
The room the Lu family prepared for her was on the first floor, right next to Lu Lin's room. It was obvious that this was the elders' idea.
The room was spacious and bright, with a bed, table, and wardrobe. The quilt smelled of sunshine, and Gu Mingyue hugged it tightly.
"Knock knock knock".
Gu Mingyue opened the door, and Aunt Liu was standing outside.
"Comrade Gu, this is hawthorn water. Xiao Lin specially asked me to prepare it for you."
Aunt Liu winked at her, her expression meaningful.
