Chapter 16 From now on, you will be my family's caregiver
After hearing what Gu Huaichen said, Lin Youning remained silent.
She didn't dare try.
She was afraid that if she tried, she would lose herself.
Noticing Lin Youning's silence, Gu Huaichen closed his eyes and asked, "Why don't you talk?"
Lin Youning: “Thinking.”
Gu Huaichen raised his eyes and said in a deep voice, "What are you thinking about?"
Lin Youning: "If I walked sideways, I would be carried away in a few days."
“…”
Gu Huaichen was amused by her words, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "I didn't know that my wife was so good at joking."
"Of course you don't know." Lin Youning couldn't help but say, "We weren't familiar with each other before."
Gu Huaichen hummed and said calmly, "That's true."
He paused and looked at Lin Youning meaningfully, "Now that we're married, we have plenty of time to get to know each other."
Lin Youning: “…”
For some reason, when she heard this and saw the look in Gu Huaichen's eyes, Lin Youning felt that he was hinting at an unhealthy level of "maturity".
The beautiful scene in the morning flashed through her mind, and Lin Youning's cheeks became hot. She pursed her lips and said evasively, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to touch up my makeup."
Looking at her running back, Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows slowly.
“…”
By the time the two of them finished packing and went downstairs, it was already past five o'clock, almost six o'clock.
Uncle Li drove the two of them back to their old home.
On the way, Lin Youning was a little nervous, "Gu Huaichen."
Gu Huaichen: "Don't worry."
Before Lin Youning could say anything, he said, "You are already Mrs. Gu."
Lin Youning: “…”
It was precisely because she was Mrs. Gu that she was nervous.
If she and Gu Huaichen had nothing to do with each other, Lin Youning wouldn't be so nervous.
However, what Gu Huaichen said did make some sense. She was Mrs. Gu, and even if the Gu family was dissatisfied with her, they would not make things too difficult for her.
Thinking of this, Lin Youning relaxed a little.
More than half an hour later, Lin Youning saw the Gu family's old house.
The Gu family's old residence is not in the city, nor is it located near the villa halfway up the mountain. It is located on the east side of the city and is a well-known aristocratic family.
Their family is rich, but not the kind of rich that is nouveau riche.
Lin Youning had heard many stories about the Gu family before, saying that the Gu family had been wealthy for generations.
Knowing is one thing, but actually stepping into the Gu family mansion is another.
Lin Youning found that the Gu family's old house was a bit like the wealthy families she had seen on TV, as if a Jiangnan garden was incorporated into it for daily living.
Noticing the surprise in Lin Youning's eyes, Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Don't you know that Gu's house is here?"
"I know." Lin Youning came back to his senses and told the truth, "But I haven't been here."
She was curious, but she was curious about many things, so she didn't take Gu Zhai too seriously.
Of course, the more important point is that Lin Youning never thought that one day she would be involved with Gu Huaichen.
Gu Huaichen hummed and said in a low voice, "If you like, you can go shopping later."
Lin Youning blinked and said "oh".
She likes it very much.
She studied classical dance and has always been interested in antique things.
The car drove into the courtyard.
When the two got out of the car, there were already quite a few people standing in the yard.
Lin Youning looked at the huge crowd of people and felt a little nervous.
Fortunately, Gu Huaichen walked up to her side, frowning slightly, "Why are there so many people?"
"Huai Chen, you brought the young lady home, but you didn't allow us to come over and see her?" It seemed like Gu Huaichen's elder was talking to him.
Gu Huaichen said helplessly: "You will scare her."
"How could that be?" Another person answered, looking at Lin Youning, "She is so pretty, no wonder Huaichen is willing to marry her."
Lin Youning smiled awkwardly and looked at Gu Huaichen.
"This is a distant aunt of mine." Gu Huaichen introduced briefly.
Lin Youning: “…”
Soon, Lin Youning found out that there were other people in the yard who were talking to Gu Huaichen and herself, including Gu Huaichen's aunt and Gu Huaichen's sister-in-law.
However, none of them are my relatives.
Gu Huaichen is the only son of the Gu family, but Gu Huaichen's family is wealthy and he still has many relatives.
That’s why there are so many people in the old house.
Seeing Lin Youning's nervousness, Gu Huaichen said succinctly, "You guys make way first, we'll go see the old man first."
"Okay, okay."
Someone responded, "Let's go see the old man first."
Walking into the main house of the Gu family, Lin Youning breathed a sigh of relief, "You have so many relatives."
"We have always had contact," said Gu Huaichen. "They don't have any bad intentions."
Lin Youning nodded and said softly, "I can see it."
She could see that the Gu family had a good tradition.
Gu Huaichen smiled and led her into the living room.
In the living room, the old man and Gu Huaichen's parents were all there.
Seeing the two people appear, Gu's mother was the first to stand up from the sofa, "You're back."
Gu Huaichen responded and looked at the old man sitting in the main seat, "Grandpa, we are back."
Mr. Gu snorted.
Gu Huaichen curled his lips, "This is Youyou, your grandson's wife."
As he spoke, he signaled Lin Youning to call someone.
Lin Youning may be nervous in front of other people, but when it is time to be calm, she is also calm.
"Grandpa...Mom and Dad." She called softly, but her tone was firm.
Hearing her speak, Gu's mother was the first to respond, "Ningning, right? Is it okay for mom to call you that?"
Lin Youning: "Of course."
Mother Gu smiled and stuffed a big red envelope into her hand. "It's the fault of that brat. We prepared it in a hurry. This is a little gift from mom. Please keep it first."
Lin Youning took it at Gu Huaichen's suggestion, "Thank you, Mom."
"Why should we be polite as a family?" said Gu's mother with a smile.
Soon after, Gu Huaichen's father also handed Lin Youning a red envelope, "Welcome to join the Gu family."
Lin Youning was stunned, "Thank you, Dad."
After both of them gave their red envelopes, Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows slowly and looked at the old man, "Grandpa, don't you want to express your gratitude?"
Mr. Gu glared at him unhappily and waved at Lin Youning, "Ningning, right? Come and sit over here."
Lin Youning hesitated.
Gu Huaichen: "Go ahead."
Lin Youning walked over and sat down.
The old man asked the butler to take out a box.
He opened it and found a complete set of emerald jewelry, including bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings.
The old man looked at her with a smile on his face and said, "Since you are married to Huaichen, you should live a good life in the future. This is the meeting gift that Huaichen's grandmother left for her grandson and daughter-in-law. Grandpa gives it to you today. I hope you and Huaichen will be fine."
The moment he saw the things clearly, Lin Youning suppressed the shock in his heart and subconsciously looked at Gu Huaichen, "Grandpa, this is too precious."
"This is for you. It doesn't matter whether it's valuable or not." The old man was still a little bit angry. "You don't want it, do you not want to live a good life with Huai Chen?"
Lin Youning: “…”
This is really a bit unfair to her.
She just couldn't accept such a gift worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, all at once.
She looked at Gu Huaichen for help.
Unexpectedly, Gu Huaichen glanced at it calmly and said, "Take it. It's a token of their love."
Lin Youning was speechless and could only nod, "Thank you, Grandpa."
The old man patted the back of her hand and said, "Okay, from now on you are a member of my Gu family. If someone bullies you outside, you can tell Gu Huaichen, Grandpa, or other members of the Gu family. Don't let yourself be wronged."
