Chapter 201 The child has a sweet tongue
Seeing the child in front of him pouting and looking angry, Dan Anwen knew he was in the wrong and touched the tip of his nose.
A while ago, Xiao Han asked him for advice on how to confess his feelings. He remembered that he was supposed to tell the little girl, but because the two of them had just gotten engaged, he was so overwhelmed with joy that he forgot about it.
Gu Ji took a deep breath and forced a smile. "So, how are you going to coax me?"
Dan Anwen stood up and sat down next to Gu Ji, and said in a low voice, "How do you want to resolve this?"
Gu Ji feigned anger and snorted, his tone indifferent, "This week's wonderful life is all canceled."
She had been thinking about this for a long time. She didn't want to wake up every day with a sore back and aching muscles. Once a man who had never tasted meat had done so, it was simply terrifying.
Dan Anwen instinctively wanted to refuse, but after calculating the date, he said, "Okay."
Seeing the man's quick agreement, Gu Ji suspected it was a trap and asked again uncertainly, "Uncle Dan, you're not up to anything, are you?"
"How could that be? I have always kept my promises to you."
If this had been said before marriage, she would have believed it completely, but now it remains to be seen.
That night she realized why the man had agreed so readily: it was because her period had started.
"Do Grandma and the others know about Shushu and Uncle Xiao's affair?" Gu Ji asked, taking a bite of dessert.
Dan Anwen said calmly, "Now I know."
As expected, the family group chat quickly erupted into discussion, with everyone asking who the other party in the official announcement was.
Dan Shu: You all know this person, and you're quite familiar with him.
Danmu: Who is it?
Danfu: Which brat?
Jing Rou: We don't know many talented young people.
Dan Si: No way, you're launching a surprise attack just like Zhao Zhao!
Uncle Dan: Call me Auntie @DanSi.
Dan Si: Zhao Zhao Xiaoshen @ Zhao Zhao.
Zhao Zhao: Good boy, nephew @Dan Si.
A few interruptions did liven up the atmosphere in the group quite a bit, and Dan Shu typed a few words hesitantly.
Dan Shu: It is Xiao Han.
After that, the group fell silent, and no one broke the silence.
Sitting in the living room, Dan's mother looked incredulous, blinking hard, and even patted Dan's father beside her, "Old man, these words are Xiao Han's, right?"
Dan's father looked grave and quickly told Dan Shu to go home in the group chat.
Gu Ji kept a close eye on the group chat. Seeing that Dan's father's tone wasn't very friendly and that Dan's mother hadn't sent any more messages, he became somewhat worried.
"Uncle Dan, does Dad disagree?" Gu Ji pondered Dan's father's words for a moment, as if dating Xiao Han was an extremely urgent matter.
Dan An sighed and said, "You should know a little about Dan Shu's grandparents, that is, his uncle's family."
"I know, they were all soldiers, and in the end they all..." Gu Ji nodded, and didn't say anything more.
Dan Anwen's tone was indifferent, revealing no emotion. "In the end, they all sacrificed themselves. When her father passed away, she was only in high school. His last words were that he did not want her to become a soldier, nor did he want her to marry a soldier, including a policeman."
Gu Ji's eyes flickered slightly. Because his whole family were soldiers who had all sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, he naturally did not want his daughter to follow in their footsteps and wanted her to have a stable future.
Xiao Han is the most unstable choice. His profession is destined to make Dan Shu's life filled with anxiety, and he may even have to face the situation of saying goodbye to his loved ones again.
From birth until high school age, Dan Shu's happy and fulfilling family gradually dwindled until she was left all alone, saying goodbye to her grandparents, then her mother, and finally her father.
Her father didn't want her to have any more chances to say goodbye to her husband or children.
"But Shushu seems to really like Uncle Xiao." Gu Ji pursed his lips, somewhat worried that an argument might break out at home.
She knew a little about Dan Shu's personality; she seemed like a generous and bright girl, but she was very stubborn about some things and wouldn't give up easily.
Dan Shu's father is also a rigid and conservative person. In particular, it was her father's dying wish that Dan Shu not marry a soldier, and Dan Shu's father will definitely strictly enforce it.
"Little one, our honeymoon might have to end early." Dan Anwen glanced at the SOS text message Xiao Han had sent on his phone.
Xiao Han wouldn't easily send such a distress message, which proves that Dan's father and mother are very determined.
Gu Ji nodded. She wasn't in the mood for traveling right now and wanted to go home as soon as possible to check on things. She was afraid that the two stubborn people would quarrel, and the consequences would be unpredictable.
"We'll book our tickets back this afternoon," Gu Ji said, checking the flight schedule.
“Okay, I’ll make up for the honeymoon.” Dan Anwen looked at her apologetically.
Gu Ji smiled and said softly, "As long as Uncle Dan is with you, every day is like a honeymoon."
"The child has such a sweet tongue."
In the afternoon, the two packed their luggage and set off on their journey home, arriving in Nan'an City at noon the next day.
Dan Si drove to the airport to pick up the two of them. As soon as they got in the car, Gu Ji asked, "How's things at home?"
"It's not very optimistic. Dan Shu has been locked up by Grandpa, and Uncle Xiao is still kneeling outside Dan Garden." Dan Si's expression was unusually solemn.
Dan An tapped his thigh with his fingertips, deep in thought. "What's your grandmother's attitude?"
"I didn't realize she hadn't said a word since yesterday." Dan Si thought back and realized that his mother had been silent since yesterday.
Neither Dan Shu nor Xiao Han expressed any opinion, whether Dan Shu was locked in a room by Dan Shu's father or Xiao Han was kneeling at the entrance of Dan Garden.
This is unlike Danmu's usual style; it's completely out of character.
Gu Ji's eyes flickered slightly, not quite understanding what Dan's mother meant, so he could only turn his gaze to Dan Anwen.
Dan Anwen parted his thin lips slightly, “Mom is clearly wavering, so she’s not expressing any opinion. She wants Dan Shu to be happy, but she’s also worried about Xiao Han’s situation.”
"And getting past Dad will probably be difficult."
If the father was able to go from not supporting the relationship with the child to compromising, it's because there wasn't a major problem; the only moral issue was that he was blinded by the word "granddaughter."
However, Dan Shu's relationship with Xiao Han crossed his bottom line.
Dan Shu's father died in the hospital after unsuccessful resuscitation. In front of him, Dan Shu's father vowed to take good care of Dan Shu and to keep his last wish.
Dan's father was a man of his word, and he would naturally fulfill his cousin's last wish. Moreover, he did not want Dan Shu to suffer the pain of losing his beloved.
"Then let's go home and check on the situation." Gu Ji shook hands with Dan Anwen's large hand.
