Since that's the case, then she has nothing to be coy about anymore.
She suddenly laughed, her eyes sparkling like a galaxy: "Yes, of course we'll do it!"
He lowered his head, bringing his nose even closer: "So... do you still want a divorce?"
She shook her head vigorously, as if it were a rattle-drum: "I won't leave!"
"As long as you stay with me and never abandon me, I swear in my heart that I will never leave you in this lifetime!"
Gu Chengfeng smiled, the sweet scent emanating from her filling his nostrils. A weight lifted from his heart. He reached out and gently adjusted the scarf around her neck.
"Then let's...go home!"
Throughout the journey, Gu Chengfeng held Shen Sisi's hand tightly and never let go.
Chen Sisi's heart was pounding with anxiety, as if a little deer was running wildly in her chest.
Her face flushed, and she smiled like a shy young wife.
I felt a sweet warmth in my heart, and I couldn't help but want to laugh.
When she got home, Xu Hongying was holding Niu Niu in her arms, comforting her.
"I'm so sorry, Niu Niu, it's Grandma's fault for not watching you properly..." Xu Hongying was so frightened that her lips turned purple, and she hugged Niu Niu very tightly.
Niu Niu gently nuzzled her grandma with her head, then used her little hands to wipe away her tears from her face.
"Grandma, don't cry. It's Niu Niu's fault. Niu Niu ran away. I'm so sorry..."
Niu Niu didn't know what guilt was; she just felt sad when she saw her grandma was sad, her nose felt sore, and she felt like she needed to pee.
"Mom!" Shen Sisi called softly.
Xu Hongying looked up and saw Shen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng returning hand in hand. She suddenly felt that the two seemed a little different, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"Has the matter been resolved?" Xu Hongying asked.
When Li Wenhui came back with the child, she briefly explained what had happened.
Chen Sisi and Gu Chengfeng went to the cultural troupe to find the culprit.
Chen Sisi nodded: "Don't worry, that person has already received the punishment she deserved."
Xu Hongying breathed a sigh of relief, then spat towards the door: "Those heartless bastards, I'll deal with them tomorrow!"
Shen Sisi knew she couldn't stop her, so she let her be, only reminding her not to go too far.
"Don't worry, this old woman knows what she's doing!" Xu Hongying said through gritted teeth.
Shen Sisi wasn't worried about this. In fact, sometimes when she thought about it, having a "wicked mother-in-law" in the eyes of the world didn't seem like such a bad thing.
When Niu Niu saw her, she struggled to get out of Xu Hongying's arms and rushed into Chen Sisi's embrace.
"Mommy, I'm sorry..." Niu Niu pouted as she apologized.
As Chen Sisi's arms sank, she felt the soft, cuddly little dumpling in her embrace, and she had a feeling of having lost something and then found it again.
"Niu Niu, you scared Mommy to death... Promise Mommy you'll never sneak out again, okay?"
Niu Niu learned her lesson this time, and she will never dare to run away again.
"sorry……"
Niu Niu was frightened tonight, and Shen Sisi slept with her. After the child fell asleep, Shen Sisi noticed that the light was still on outside the door, so she put on her clothes and went out.
Under the lamp, Gu Chengfeng and Xu Hongying sat around the stove with their backs to her, writing and calculating, seemingly planning something.
"Aren't you all asleep yet?" Chen Sisi asked with concern.
Gu Chengfeng looked up and saw Shen Sisi. The tenderness in his eyes almost materialized: "Why are you wearing so little? Be careful not to catch a cold!"
She tucked her clothes in thoughtfully: "There are plenty, and it's not cold at home."
At this moment, Xu Hongying put down her pen and waved to her: "Sisi, Chengfeng and I are discussing your wedding!"
This is a very important matter, and it must be handled well!
In addition, with tight deadlines and heavy workloads, it is essential to plan ahead.
"That's exactly what I was going to ask you. What are the wedding customs in your hometown?" Xu Hongying asked.
Chen Sisi shook her head. Actually, she didn't know anything about the customs. Anyway, her parents were no longer around, so she would keep things simple as much as possible.
“Alright, let’s do it according to our local customs!” Xu Hongying closed her notebook and stood up briskly: “Tomorrow, I’ll start preparing things, and then call his two older sisters to ask them to come to Jiangcheng to help.”
Two older sisters?
Shen Sisi's heart immediately tightened again. Would this be too much trouble for them?
Gu Chengfeng could tell from her slightly furrowed brows that she was overthinking things again.
"Don't worry, my two older sisters aren't very busy at the end of the year. They usually spend the Spring Festival at my mother's house. This year, let them come and stay in Jiangcheng!"
Shen Sisi knew they had already made up their minds, and couldn't bear to refuse: "Alright then, but our house is so small, how will we manage? Won't we be neglecting them?"
Her words reminded the two of the fact that their house couldn't accommodate so many people.
"What's there to be afraid of? Aunt Chengfeng's house is right here, isn't it? Changmei bought a house for her son. We can just go and stay at her house."
Before Chen Sisi could say anything more, Gu Chengfeng subtly shook his head: "Let her be, she'll handle it."
Xu Hongying wanted to say something, but seeing her son staring intently at Chen Sisi, she immediately yawned: "Um... it's getting late, I'm going to sleep with Niu Niu. You two can chat for a while, but don't chat too late. When you're done, go back to sleep and give me a big, fat grandson!"
“This…” Chen Sisi’s face flushed again.
After Xu Hongying left, only she and Gu Chengfeng remained in the large living room.
Looking at the quilts drying outside the courtyard, and recalling how she had clung to Gu Chengfeng last night, begging for kisses, she sighed softly, "Are you going to sleep inside tonight...?"
Gu Chengfeng nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course!"
After washing up, the two of them lay down in bed, one at each end.
Staring thoughtfully at the dark ceiling, feeling the warmth emanating from Gu Chengfeng, she couldn't help but ask, "Are you asleep?"
From the darkness, a deep, husky voice quickly rang out: "Not yet!"
"What...are you trying to say?"
Chen Sisi clutched the blanket, as if afraid someone would discover something, and quickly closed her eyes: "It's nothing..."
Gu Chengfeng knew that his little girl had something on her mind, so he sat up.
"Ask whatever you want."
Hearing the noise in the darkness, Shen Sisi knew that Gu Chengfeng was waiting for her in the cold wind. She couldn't bear it and urged him to lie down quickly: "I said, isn't that enough? Don't catch a cold."
Gu Chengfeng then shrank back under the covers.
Shen Sisi mustered her courage and asked, "Um... what happened between you and your childhood sweetheart back then? I heard that you came to Lin County because of her."
In the darkness, someone's lips curled into a wide smile: "Sisi, are you... curious about me?"
Chen Sisi covered her burning face and said, "If you say so, then so be it!"
Gu Chengfeng's mood inexplicably lifted.
"Back then... I did fight for her, but it wasn't like you think."
