Cai Xiaolian rolled her eyes at her: "Your mouth! I wonder who it takes after?"
Gu Xin leaned the stool forward, then hugged Cai Xiaolian's arm and rested her head on her shoulder: "I look like my mother, I'm pretty, and I also have a mouth like my mother, I'm eloquent."
Cai Xiaolian patted Gu Xin's head: "Yes, yes, you're right. Then let me ask you, have you thought about what people will say about what you just did at Jinghu Lake?"
Gu Xin was taken aback, then said, "Why should I think about others? It's my own business, what does it have to do with others? Grandma said that if you like someone, you have to express it, otherwise, they won't know your feelings and you'll miss out. Missing out is for a lifetime. I want to tell everyone that Miss Gu has taken a liking to General Zhou, the Second Young Master Lu. Uncle said that this is called asserting sovereignty. Tell others that this is mine, and you can't even think about touching her!"
Cai Xiaolian: "..."
Gu Xin, speaking with great enthusiasm, sat up straight, her face serious: "Mother, don't pay attention to what people say. It's just those pedantic scholars and jealous women who will talk nonsense. Are they saying that I'm shameless and that I'm having an affair in public?"
"Hehe, it's all happening in public, how can you call it a private exchange? Besides, my grandparents, my parents, my siblings, and the other party's elders are all here in public, how can that be called a private exchange?"
"We call this openly and honestly wishing each other a happy birthday, and openly inviting everyone to do the same. They're just jealous because Yuanyuan is handsome, I'm beautiful, and we have a good relationship!"
"So Mom, don't listen to those gossips, and don't get angry, okay? You're carrying a little brother!"
Cai Xiaolian was speechless after hearing Gu Xin's words.
Well, she didn't think Gu Xin's behavior was inappropriate. She just heard a few people talking about it on the way back, and she was afraid that Gu Xin wouldn't understand if she heard it, so she wanted to comfort her. But it turned out that her daughter understood much better than she did.
Cai Xiaolian tidied Gu Xin's hair and then asked, "Do you want to marry your Yuanyuan brother?"
Gu Xin nodded without hesitation: "That's right! After I come of age, Brother Yuanyuan will definitely become a great general. Then he will persuade Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Uncle, and Fourth Uncle to let you marry me to him."
Cai Xiaolian: "You have so much confidence in him?"
Gu Xin nodded again: "Yes! Yuanyuan can definitely do it. Mom, let me tell you, I feel like I've found the feeling Grandma had when she met Grandpa. Grandma said that feelings are a strange thing. Some people, you know they're the one the moment you see them. Others, you suddenly realize during the process of getting to know them that they're the ones you'll spend your life with. My eldest sister is the first type, and I'm the second. I don't know when it started, but I felt that Yuanyuan was a part of my life. Yuanyuan gives me a sense of security beyond my grandparents, parents, and sisters, a sense of stability beyond blood ties. I don't know why, but I just decided on him. He can protect me, give me a stable life, prevent me from being wronged, and let me live the life I want."
Cai Xiaolian was very pleased. Wasn't what Gu Xin said the purest form of affection?
There were no external factors involved; it was simply a matter of following one's heart.
External factors, on the other hand, will protect them until the very end.
