Chapter 43: Laughter and Love



Tang Xiaoxiao didn't expect that Gu Lang hurried over to confess his love to her. When he saw Gu Lang running in, he thought something was wrong, but it turned out to be a surprise. It seemed that getting injured was not a bad thing.

"Brother Gu Lang, what happened?" Tang Xiaoxiao asked with concern.

"Tang Zhiqing, I like you. Are you willing to be with me?" After Gu Lang said this, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been holding it in his heart for so long, and now he suddenly said it out loud, which was an unprecedented relief. After the relief, he felt nervous, wondering if Tang Zhiqing was willing to be with him.

With an uneasy heart, he explained again, "Tang Zhiqing, I don't mean to force you. Whether you agree or not, I will take care of you!"

"Okay, I promise you." Tang Xiaoxiao said frankly. She had been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Now that the other party said it, she had no reason to hesitate and agreed directly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree. Wait, what did you say?" Gu Lang couldn't believe his ears. He seemed to hear Tang Xiaoxiao agree.

"I said I promised you and agreed to be with you." Tang Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"Well, wait for me. I'll go back and ask my mother to propose to you. This way, I can take care of you openly. I'll bring you food later." He said as he ran out.

Gu Lang ran home breathlessly and saw his mother cooking and his father reading in the room. "Mom, I'll take the delicious food you made to Xiaoxiao later. She twisted her ankle and it's not convenient for her to cook. I'll take her meals these days."

"Okay, then I'll make some soup. It's nutritious and good for your health." Seeing his mother agree readily, Gu Lang said hesitantly.

"Dad, Mom, do you have time tomorrow?" Gu Lang said embarrassedly.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" he asked doubtfully.

At this moment, the parents noticed that something was wrong with Gu Lang and wondered if something had happened. It was the first time they saw their son hesitant and stammering like this.

"Mom, I want you to go ask Xiaoxiao to marry me tomorrow, so that I can legitimately take care of her. If this gets out, it will be bad for Xiaoxiao's reputation."

The spatula that my mother was using to cook with fell to the ground with a bang, and the book that my father was reading also fell to the ground with a bang. Looking at their incredible expressions, it seemed as if my engagement was an incredible thing. Did I scare them?

"Dad, Mom, are you all right? Is it a terrible thing for me to ask you to propose marriage? Why are you like this?" Gu Lang was helpless. Aren't parents looking forward to his marriage? Why do you have such expressions?

"Well, son, is this your idea or Xiaoxiao's? Have you two discussed it?" the mother asked tactfully.

"I just talked to Xiaoxiao, and she agreed, so I came to you." Gu Lang said embarrassedly. Others' parents arranged everything for him, but he had to ask his parents himself.

"That's good, that's good. We thought you meant it yourself. At this juncture, it seems like you won't take care of me if I don't agree. But it's good to just say it. We thought you were going to keep pretending. I didn't expect you to speak first."

"Mom? When did you know?" Gu Lang always thought he had hidden it well.

"Well, we knew you liked her from the day Wanwan got engaged. Later, Wanwan came to us to discuss it and asked you to take care of Xiaoxiao. We knew Xiaoxiao was interested in you too."

"What? Mom, you knew all along why you didn't bring us together?" Are there any parents like this? They just stand by and watch their son laugh and gossip.

"Oh, we just want to see how you pursue girls, and we also want to see which of you two will speak first."

"It seems Xiaoxiao is still capable. She was able to control you and finally made you speak. You can rest assured and take care of her. We will prepare the meal and send it over. Tomorrow I will ask your Aunt Qiu to set a date."

"Thank you, Mom."

"As for the betrothal gifts, just follow Wanwan's wishes. Go ask Xiaoxiao if she has any other requests. By the way, Xiaoxiao's foot is still injured, so you are not allowed to bully her. Let's talk about it after she recovers."

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Is this something a mother should say? They just confirmed their relationship, it's not that far yet, okay?

"Okay, I won't say anything more. As long as you have the answer in your heart, it's good. Now that you have made up your mind, treat her well and marry her home as soon as possible."

"I'm going to take food to Xiaoxiao." After saying that, he picked up the food and ran away quickly. They had just confirmed their relationship today, and as soon as they said that, it seemed like they were going to do that tomorrow. It was too scary. They hadn't even held hands, so how could it happen so soon?

Gu Lang came over with the food. When he saw Xiaoxiao, he suddenly felt shy. He remembered what his mother had just said. In fact, he seemed to be a little looking forward to it.

"Xiaoxiao, my mom said that everything about the betrothal gift should be done according to Wanwan's wishes. Do you have any objections? And do you have any other requests? If so, just tell me and I'll take care of it."

"Just do as Wanwan says. I don't have any requirements. Just do as you see fit."

"Also, what did Wanwan say? Is she going to come back and stay for a few days?" Xiaoxiao asked. She was so bored being alone.

"She's pregnant, so she may not come over, but she will come to see you tomorrow."

"She's actually pregnant, so fast. You said she'd come over tomorrow."

"Yeah, she said she'd come over tomorrow."

The next day, Tang Xiaoxiao got up early and waited for Lu Wanwan to come. When Lu Wanwan and Gu Feng came over, they saw Tang Xiaoxiao who was looking forward to seeing them.

"If you know that you are waiting for me with that expectant look in your eyes, then those who don't will think that you are waiting for your cousin." Lu Wanwan teased.

"You're just making fun of me. Of course I'm waiting for you."
