She was quietly eating watermelon here.
The two were still facing off.
Gu Yu's face was gloomy, his tongue pressed against his back teeth, trying to appear calm: "If Miss Tang doesn't want to wait, she can choose to leave earlier..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Tang Hanyan interrupted him with a cold laugh: "When I leave is my business, your lateness is your problem. You made me wait for more than an hour, so I threw a cup of coffee at you to make up for it."
She looked up and called out in Song Qingyou's direction, "Qingyou, let's go."
Song Qingyou, who was suddenly called out, nodded in surprise.
Gu Yu hadn't expected Song Qingyou to be here, and he figured his embarrassing situation would soon reach Fu Wenzhou's ears. Fu Wenzhou...
Gu Yu had a terrible headache; he could already picture Fu Wenzhou calling to mock him.
He took a deep breath and stood up: "It was wrong of me to be late today, but the marriage was arranged by both families, and I hope we can..."
Tang Hanyan pulled Song Qingyou up, turned around and smiled: "Sorry, I don't like talking to rude people."
The sunlight after the rain refracted through the glass window and shone on Tang Hanyan's delicate and petite face, making the girl look as beautiful as a porcelain doll.
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment by that bright smile.
Reflexively, he strode forward and grabbed Tang Hanyan's arm.
"Wait a minute!" Gu Yu said.
Gu Yu looked down at her, his eyes filled with a cold scrutiny: "You probably don't want to keep going on blind dates, do you?"
Tang Hanyan looked up: "What does Young Master Gu want to say?"
"Let's get married." The man paused for a moment, but having already spoken, he could only grit his teeth and continue: "After marriage, we won't interfere with each other. We'll be a couple in name only, dealing with our parents and families. This is good for both of us, and it also gives both sets of parents an explanation, isn't it?"
Tang Hanyan narrowed her beautiful cat-like eyes. Gu Yu was right. Even if she didn't marry Gu Yu today, she would marry another stranger in the future.
Arranged marriages between families are perfectly normal in Linzhou; otherwise, Tang Hanyan wouldn't have agreed to this blind date.
Among all the candidates, Gu Yu was the most handsome, so she came.
But he's rude, Tang Hanyan thought.
However, such a person is not suitable for dating, but is suitable for marriage.
Tang Hanyan remained silent, while Song Qingyou stood beside her with a slight frown.
She was a little worried that Tang Hanyan would actually agree, so she coughed lightly and said, "Didn't you say you were leaving?"
Gu Yu glanced at Song Qingyou and continued, "We can just get a marriage certificate and do nothing else. This way, we can resolve the troubles of both families. You will still be Tang Hanyan, and I will still be Gu Yu. Our lives will not change at all. If you marry someone else, your husband may not be as open-minded as me."
Gu Yu was actually gambling; he was betting that Tang Hanyan was just like him.
For people like them, marriage is just an extra, it makes no difference whether they have it or not, and a contractual marriage is more reliable.
Tang Hanyan smiled and said, "Sure."
"You agreed?" Gu Yu was momentarily taken aback by the other party's quick agreement.
Song Qingyou frowned and reminded him, "Han Yan..."
Tang Hanyan reached out and lightly scratched Song Qingyou's palm. For some reason, Song Qingyou suddenly felt that there was a hint of slyness in the smile on Tang Hanyan's face.
Song Qingyou remained silent. Although Tang Hanyan was young, she seemed to have her own ideas.
Gu Yu slightly lifted his eyelids and glanced into the other person's eyes. Those eyes were dark and bright, like stars, and contained a hint of a smile.
"Let's go, Young Master Gu."
"What?" Gu Yu was taken aback.
Tang Hanyan lifted her eyelids slightly: "Weren't we supposed to get married? Now we're not?"
"Don't you need to inform both sets of parents?" Although Gu Yu planned to marry Tang Hanyan, he didn't intend to marry her for nothing.
Tang Hanyan replied, "No need. I can make my own decisions. Our elders will be happy once we get our marriage certificate. We can complete the formalities later."
Gu Yu was silent for a moment: "Miss Tang, I think it would be more appropriate for the two families to discuss it and choose an auspicious day."
Tang Hanyan scoffed, "It's not like we're getting married, why do we need to choose an auspicious day? I never knew Young Master Gu was so particular. Since you're not getting married, then I'm leaving."
"Yes." Gu Yu hesitated for two seconds, but still answered affirmatively.
Old Master Gu has issued an ultimatum: if you don't marry Tang Hanyan, you will be removed from the Gu family.
Song Qingyou inexplicably followed the two to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Upon arrival, Tang Hanyan suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "I forgot to bring my household registration booklet, what should I do?"
Gu Yu frowned immediately: "In Linzhou?"
Tang Hanyan: "Go back to my hotel and get it."
Gu Yu turned to his assistant and instructed, "Go to the hotel where Miss Tang is staying."
Tang Hanyan frowned and said, "No, you go."
Gu Yu's expression turned serious as he glanced at Tang Hanyan, finally saying, "Address."
Tang Hanyan gave Gu Yu an address and watched him drive away.
She gave a cold laugh in the direction the car drove away, then turned to look at Song Qingyou with a pleased expression: "I'll take you home."
Song Qingyou raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you getting married?"
Tang Hanyan said, "He stood me up for more than an hour, so I made him make a wasted trip. I was just giving him a taste of his own medicine."
Song Qingyou chuckled and said, "Want to go for a walk?"
Tang Hanyan happily said, "Is that okay?"
Song Qingyou asked in confusion, "Why not?"
Tang Hanyan replied cautiously, "I was afraid you'd be busy and I'd take up your time."
"No." Song Qingyou coughed lightly, covering her mouth. "I took the day off today."
Tang Hanyan immediately nodded upon hearing this: "Then take me sightseeing. This is my first time in the capital."
Song Qingyou took Tang Hanyan to several places. Tang Hanyan was afraid of tiring her out, so she specially asked someone to get her an electric wheelchair and insisted on pushing Song Qingyou around.
Song Qingyou found it both funny and helpless, but shopping this way did indeed save a lot of effort.
Otherwise, with such excessive exercise, her cough might worsen by the end of the day.
Tang Hanyan bought a lot of things, most of which were for Song Qingyou. She was so enthusiastic that Song Qingyou couldn't refuse even if she wanted to.
She could only sit in a wheelchair, holding a bunch of shopping bags in her arms, letting her push her forward.
-
On the other side.
Gu Yu went to the hotel, only to find out that Tang Hanyan had already checked out that morning.
He stood in the lobby with a dark expression, looking like someone who shouldn't be approached.
The assistant next to him didn't dare to utter a sound, afraid that he would be scolded for breathing the wrong thing.
My phone chimed.
Gu Yu clicked on it and took a look.
Who would want to marry someone as rude and arrogant as you?
Gu Yu almost gritted his teeth: "Tang Hanyan!"
The assistant asked cautiously, "Mr. Gu, should we go see Miss Tang again? She..."
He didn't dare say anything more, because he could clearly feel the pressure on his boss plummeting to rock bottom when he heard the name Tang Hanyan.
