"I just feel that sometimes I really need someone to take care of me."
She also has a bit of a temper.
Lu Lin gently grasped her hand, his voice low but firm, "You're not a burden, but someone I want to take care of for the rest of my life."
Gu Mingyue was taken aback.
Lu Lin continued, "Besides, you've taken care of me too, haven't you? It's natural for people to trouble each other."
He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips. "But I hope that in the future you'll only bother me."
Gu Mingyue couldn't help but smile, her eyes welling up with tears. "If I keep bothering you, won't you get annoyed?"
"Of course not."
Lu Lin answered without hesitation, "You're my wife, no matter how big the trouble is, I won't be bothered."
Gu Mingyue's uncertainty was completely resolved. She smiled slightly, revealing a row of white teeth, and radiated a good mood.
"Let's go eat."
The two played outside all afternoon, and didn't head home until sunset.
The Lu family.
The elders sat on the sofa, and the air was silent except for the sound of Aunt Liu stirring the pot with her spatula.
Lu Limin sat on the sofa, holding an anonymous letter of denunciation in his hand. The letter was crumpled and his fingertips were slightly white.
He skimmed through the letter, then slammed it down on the table with a loud bang.
"This is utter nonsense. What rubbish is written on this?"
Lu Qinming's expression was stern. "This was sent from the southwest and was delivered all the way to the higher-ups. If it weren't for Lao Yan's timely discovery, Mingyue would probably be in danger."
southwest?
They couldn't imagine who Gu Mingyue had a grudge against over there.
"Could this be the work of that Gu family brat?"
This was the only possibility Xia Huiying could think of. When Yueyue packed her things and came to Beijing, she mentioned the whereabouts of her family to them.
Later, they had someone check and only knew that Gu Mingyuan had been assigned to the Southwest, but the specific address was unclear.
Lu Qinming pursed his lips. "That's possible, but the most important thing right now is how to cover this up."
It's true that Mingyue is the daughter-in-law they've chosen, but it's also true that she's a capitalist, especially since the irresponsible Gu family parents have already run away, which further confirms this.
"Wait until the two children tell them about it."
Xia Huiying made the final decision: the children were no longer young, and were not the fledglings living under the wings of their families that they had imagined.
"Grandpa and Grandma, we're back."
A cheerful voice broke the silence of the living room.
Lu Lin was carrying several boxes of pastries, while Gu Mingyue was holding a can of food. The two seemed to be in good spirits.
If he could, Lu Qinming really didn't want to break this warm feeling, but what's meant to happen will happen.
"Xiao Lin, Ming Yue, take a look at this letter."
Gu Mingyue and Lu Lin exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled.
When they saw the contents of the letter, their pupils contracted.
"This is?"
Gu Mingyue's hand trembled slightly as she held the letter. She tried hard to decipher the handwriting, but it didn't feel familiar at all.
"Dad, where did this come from?"
Lu Lin held Gu Mingyue's warm hand, encouraging her.
"It came from the southwest and was delivered to your Uncle Yan, but luckily it was stopped."
“It was sent by my older brother.”
Feeling the warmth of his hand, Gu Mingyue calmed down and thought. Although the handwriting on the letter was not that of her elder brother, the tone of his words carried his unique habits.
She became even more certain when she heard the word 'Southwest'.
"Does he have nothing better to do than write a complaint letter?"
Logically speaking, Gu Mingyuan should have been extremely busy after going to the countryside, especially in a place like the southwest where it's spring all year round, being busy every day should have been the priority.
He, on the other hand, still has the mind to write a letter of complaint.
"But how did he know I was in Beijing?"
Gu Mingyue was puzzled.
Lu Lin: "He also knows about our childhood betrothal, and he's convinced that you have nowhere else to go but Beijing."
It has to be said that things were indeed as Lu Lin had imagined.
After Gu Mingyuan followed the main group to the countryside, he found that there was no hope of leaving.
These days, you need a letter of introduction to go anywhere, so someone with a criminal record like him shouldn't even even think about it.
Now he understands that his younger sister was definitely behind his decision to go to the countryside.
He had originally planned to squeeze every last drop of value out of her before leaving, but in the end, she turned the tables on him. He had underestimated her.
The only place she could go was Beijing, and only the people there had the ability to get him to this godforsaken mountain village.
If they don't let him have an easy time, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
So Gu Mingyuan wrote a letter of complaint and sent it to Beijing.
At this moment, Gu Mingyue felt like tearing him to pieces; even after he was sent down for reform, he still couldn't be settled down properly.
Lu Qinming sighed, "This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one. The only solution is for the two of you to get married as soon as possible."
He paused, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two faces, before finally whispering, "This way, we can both shut others up and protect Mingyue."
Gu Mingyue was slightly taken aback. Her heart felt like it had been hit by something, and panic, surprise, and insecurity all rushed through her mind at once.
She subconsciously looked at Lu Lin, only to see him gazing at her with eyes full of tenderness.
In the afternoon, they were talking about their future wedding, and now it's almost here.
It happened so fast she couldn't believe it.
"Yueyue."
Lu Lin looked at Gu Mingyue with deep affection, "I've wanted to marry you for a long time, and take care of you for the rest of my life. Are you willing to give me that chance?"
After he finished speaking, he waited quietly for Gu Mingyue's reply.
Several elders standing nearby all wore expressions of amused curiosity.
Even the cold-faced little tyrant who grew up has one day fallen for love.
Gu Mingyue's eyes gradually welled up with tears. She opened her mouth, and the corners of her lips turned up. "I do."
Lu Lin smiled with relief, excitedly hugged Gu Mingyue, and whispered in her ear, "Wife."
Now she's a real daughter-in-law, and she's not allowed to argue.
Seeing this, Xia Huiying's vision blurred with tears. She slapped her thigh with joy, "That's wonderful! Now that it's decided, let's get married as soon as possible."
Gu Mingyue and Lu Lin had no objections; they clasped hands, looked at each other, and smiled.
Lu Wanwan returned a little later, just as dinner was about to start when she entered the door.
Seeing their beaming faces, I asked curiously, "What's making you so happy?"
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and said, "Of course it's a happy occasion, your brother and Yueyue are getting married."
"My brother and Yueyue are getting married."
After repeating the sentence, Lu Wanwan realized something was wrong and let out a sharp scream.
"Sister-in-law, you're going to marry my brother?!"
Lu Wanwan was filled with regret, wondering why she hadn't come back sooner, otherwise she could have witnessed a historic moment.
She was filled with regret!
Gu Mingyue smiled and nodded in surprise at Lu Wanwan's gaze.
