"Take the initiative?" Gu Xichen was somewhat puzzled and didn't quite understand what Shang Yanxing meant.
Shang Yanxing nodded, looking at Gu Xichen with a determined gaze. "Yes, you have to take the initiative. If a girl is shy, then you definitely have to be proactive. Otherwise, are you going to wait for Mu Sheng to take the initiative?"
Taking the initiative is something a man should do.
"But she said we should take it slow. Would it be bad if I acted like this?" Shang Yanxing was afraid that he was too impulsive and would upset Lin Musheng.
After all, his current status is only that of a boyfriend. If things go wrong, he won't even have time to regret it.
"If that's the case, then why did Mu Sheng stay with you that night? And why did she take the initiative to flirt with you? She was just a little shy, so you should take the initiative too. You can't always let the girl be the one in control, can you?"
If Lin Musheng didn't like it, he wouldn't have come to ask Jiang Susu for advice.
It is precisely because I like it that I want to take the initiative.
After listening to what Shang Yanxing said, Gu Xichen suddenly felt that it made some sense.
If you didn't like him, why were you so proactive with him that time?
"So, what Third Brother means is that Mu Sheng also wants to take the initiative, but she's just too shy?"
Shang Yanxing nodded. "That's pretty much the idea, so as long as you take action, she will definitely respond to you."
If you truly love someone, how could you not reciprocate their feelings?
"I understand, Third Brother. I know what to do." Gu Xichen felt as if he had suddenly had a revelation.
"It's good that you understand. It wasn't easy for you and Mu Sheng to get together. So you should cherish her and stay together. Your sister-in-law and I are looking forward to your wedding."
Shang Yanxing hopes that Gu Xichen and Lin Musheng can get married soon and be happy.
"Third brother, don't worry, I will work hard and try to marry Mu Sheng as soon as possible."
When they had finished their conversation, Jiang Susu and Lin Musheng returned from their walk in the courtyard.
Jiang Susu sat down next to Shang Yanxing and asked, "What are you two talking about? You seem to be having a great time?"
"Xi Chen just said he wants to marry Mu Sheng soon and that he'll invite us to his wedding banquet."
Hearing Shang Yanxing's words, Lin Musheng lowered her head somewhat embarrassed.
"Great! I'll be waiting for your wedding banquet."
Gu Xichen and Lin Musheng have been together for some time now.
She also knew that the two of them had a good relationship. Gu Xichen treated Lin Musheng very well, and Lin Musheng also liked Gu Xichen very much.
So, as Lin Musheng's good friend, she naturally hoped that the two of them could be happy.
At noon, the four of them ate together. Jiang Susu sat next to Shang Yanxing, while Lin Musheng sat next to Gu Xichen.
Shang Yanxing would serve food to Jiang Susu, and Gu Xichen would serve food to Lin Musheng.
Both of them seemed to be the envy of others.
Gu Xichen and Lin Musheng didn't return home until the afternoon.
On the way to take Lin Musheng home, Gu Xichen kept asking her if she wanted to live with him.
But asking this question makes me feel a bit presumptuous.
But recalling what Shang Yanxing had said to him, he felt that he would definitely regret it if he didn't ask.
Finally, Gu Xichen mustered up the courage to ask, "Would you consider living with me?"
After saying that, Gu Xichen kept observing Lin Musheng's expression, afraid that he had said something wrong.
Seeing that Lin Musheng hesitated for a long time without giving a definite answer, Gu Xichen did not press her, but said, "It's okay if you feel it's not suitable. I was just asking for your opinion."
He didn't mean to force Lin Musheng; he just wanted to ask her if she agreed.
Although he knew Lin Musheng would be disappointed if she didn't want to, he wouldn't force her.
"I don't mean I'm unwilling, I just want to ask, when are you going to take me to meet your parents? We could live together, but I feel it's more appropriate to meet their parents sooner rather than later. After all, we're no longer just boyfriend and girlfriend, we're talking about marriage, aren't we?"
She hasn't met Gu Xichen's parents yet, and Gu Xichen's parents probably don't know that the two of them are together.
Lin Musheng understood Gu Xichen's feelings. After all, it was she who said that they should start as boyfriend and girlfriend, so the matter of meeting the parents had been put on hold and not put on the agenda.
"Then...then shall we go back in a couple of days? My parents have been really looking forward to meeting you. They'll be so happy to know you're coming back."
Gu Xichen had told his parents about his relationship with Lin Musheng.
Gu Xichen's parents had always wanted to meet their daughter-in-law, Lin Musheng.
"Your parents know we're together?" She thought Gu Xichen hadn't told his parents about their relationship.
"Yes, although you said we should start as boyfriend and girlfriend, I'm sure that the only person I want to marry in this life is you. So when they were urging me to get married, I told them that I had a girlfriend."
Lin Musheng's eyes were a little red, and she felt a little guilty. "Since you've always included me in your future plans, why didn't you tell me sooner? If you had told me sooner, I wouldn't have had to test you like this."
She only did that because she was afraid that the two of them wouldn't be able to stay together in the end, so she didn't want Gu Xichen to get it so easily.
What she didn't expect was that this man had been planning their future all along.
They've even made plans for their wedding.
"I don't want to take shortcuts; I want to earn all of this through my own abilities. Because I want to tell you that my feelings for you are not just a passing fancy, but something I will love for a lifetime."
His affection for Lin Musheng was never a fleeting infatuation.
"I know, I know everything now." Lin Musheng's voice was choked with emotion.
She felt that this man seemed a little foolish, foolish in a way that made her feel sorry for him.
She never made this man prove how much he loved her.
At that time, I just wanted to start dating him and have some romance like a young couple, not because I didn't trust him or thought he wasn't worth entrusting my life to.
Gu Xichen, it seems, has always been trying to prove himself to her.
"Then I'll stop living alone from now on." She'll move in with Gu Xichen from now on.
"So you really agreed to my request?" Gu Xichen was somewhat surprised, not expecting Lin Musheng to actually agree.
I thought she was just feeling guilty and that's why she didn't want to refuse.
