Chapter 71 I'm Crazy, Don't Want Me
He almost choked on a mouthful of blood!
Bastard!
It was you, you little brat, who called me in a hurry an hour in advance, repeatedly telling me to mention the engagement "naturally" and "casually", so as to force Qin Mu to give a definite answer!
Now, I did what you said, and you pretend to be a good person and accuse me of forcing him?!
Looking at his grandson's obedient appearance that said "I listen to my brother in everything" and "No one can force my brother", Old Master Gu was so angry that his liver hurt and his gray beard almost stood up.
He cursed Gu Chuyue eight hundred times in his heart: Little vixen!
Two-faced!
I forgot my grandfather after getting a wife!
What a great double act!
But on the surface, he is the one who protects his grandson's face.
He could only force a kind smile and continue along with Gu Chuyue's words: "...Okay, okay, it's Grandpa who is anxious. As long as Amu has made arrangements, it's good."
He picked up the wine glass and took a big sip to cover up his feelings, feeling very aggrieved.
Qin Mu took in the entire scene, his eyes moving between the "well-behaved and sensible" Gu Chuyue beside him and the "forced smile" of Old Man Gu opposite him, and he already understood about 70% of the situation in his heart.
A faint, knowing smile appeared on the corner of his lips, but he didn't point it out.
This little madman, all my thoughts are focused on him.
He calmly reached out his hand from under the table, gently held Gu Chuyue's hand on his leg, and scratched his palm with his fingertips.
Gu Chuyue's body stiffened slightly, and then a slight blush spread to her ears. She held his hand tightly with her backhand, her fingertips turning a little white, but her face still maintained a calm and composed look.
The lunch ended in a delicate atmosphere where Mr. Gu was complaining inwardly, Gu Chuyue was secretly proud of himself, and Qin Mu saw through it but didn't say anything.
When leaving the Gu family, Gu Chuyue was obviously in a very good mood, as if he had won a battle.
Meanwhile, Old Master Gu in the study was speaking bitterly to the old housekeeper: "Look at him! Look at him! What has he become of him? He's completely controlled by Qin Mu!"
The old housekeeper smiled and comforted: "Old man, as long as the young master is happy, that's all. Young Master Qin is a sensible person and will treat the young master well."
Old Master Gu snorted and said nothing more. He just looked out the window at the backs of the two people leaving together. In the depths of his eyes, a trace of real relief and joy finally spread.
It would be good if it could be like this.
After returning from the Gu family's old house, Gu Chuyue felt like a cat that had successfully stolen some fish, feeling satisfied and proud.
If he hints like this tonight, his wife will definitely understand his feelings.
He followed Qin Mu step by step, his eyes shining, as if he had already seen the grand wedding and the envious gazes of countless people.
However, as the night deepened.
After washing up and lying on the bed, Qin Mu still acted as if nothing had happened. He used his tablet to handle emails and occasionally replied to messages from Lin Wu. He had no intention of taking the initiative to mention the engagement arrangements.
Gu Chuyue waited patiently at first, lying on his side, his fingers occasionally twisting the straps of Qin Mu's pajamas.
As time passed, Qin Mu's attention seemed to be completely occupied by work.
The pride and anticipation in Gu Chuyue's heart were slowly replaced by uneasiness and anxiety.
He recalled his grandfather's question at the dinner table, Qin Mu's casual "I'll do it when the time comes," and the countless times Qin Mu had used similar words to brush him off...
A terrible thought suddenly popped into my mind:
Did my brother... not really intend to make it public?
Was the marriage you mentioned before just a stopgap measure to make him happy and stabilize his emotions?
Once this thought appeared, it grew wildly like a vine, instantly wrapping around his heart and making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Those deeply buried anxieties and suppressed madness, like dry firewood thrown into a spark, suddenly burst into flames.
He sat up suddenly, so violently that the mattress shook.
Qin Mu was startled by the noise and finally looked up from the screen, looking at him in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Gu Chuyue stared at him intently, his eyes starting to turn slightly red.
Gu Chuyue's voice was hoarse and trembling from his efforts to suppress his emotions: "Brother...you said before about getting married..." He paused, as if he couldn't speak, but he had to ask, "...were you lying to me?"
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a moment: "What do you mean by lying?"
"engagement!"
Gu Chuyue's voice suddenly rose, filled with tears and accusations, "You didn't intend to make an announcement at all, right? You were just coaxing me! Just like you used to coax me to take medicine and sleep! When I'm no longer useful, when you get impatient, you'll abandon me! Right?!"
As he spoke, tears rolled down his face without warning. They were not sobs of grievance, but the precursor to a desperate and angry collapse.
Qin Mu looked at his instant collapse, his heart tightened, and he immediately put down the tablet and wanted to pull him: "Baby, what nonsense are you talking about..."
"Don't touch me!"
Gu Chuyue violently waved his hand away, like a wounded beast, his eyes filled with the pain of betrayal and the madness that was about to get out of control.
"You're always like this! You lie to me! You trick me! You treat me like a fool! I don't want to listen to you anymore! I don't want to believe you anymore!"
He was so excited that he wanted to get out of bed, as if he would suffocate if he stayed there for another second.
Qin Mu was completely panicked now.
He knew that Gu Chuyue was getting stuck in a rut again.
If you don't explain it clearly, you won't have peace tonight. This little lunatic can really do extreme things.
He immediately reached out and held the person tightly in his arms without saying a word, and did not let go no matter how Gu Chuyue struggled and hit him.
"Gu Chuyue! Look at me!" Qin Mu rarely used a strong tone. He held his face with both hands and forced him to look at him. "When have I ever lied to you? Huh?"
Gu Chuyue struggled, tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with paranoia and despair. "Then why didn't you tell me? Why are you dragging me along? You just don't want to! You think I'm embarrassing! You think I'm crazy! You don't want me, do you?"
"Nonsense!" Qin Mu scolded softly, feeling so angry at his self-deprecating words.
He looked at Gu Chuyue's red eyes and knew that he would not be able to get through the night if he didn't coax him.
He sighed, his tone softening with helplessness and a hint of amusement.
"Gu Chuyue," he said, wiping the tear marks on his face with his thumb, his voice low and clear, "Are you so angry that you've lost your mind? Have you forgotten how old you are?"
Gu Chuyue paused in her struggle, and looked at him with tearful eyes, not understanding.
Qin Mu looked at his silly look, feeling both distressed and amused: "What is the legal marriage age? Are you of age? Hmm?"
Gu Chuyue was stunned, and subconsciously calculated his age... It seemed... Indeed... There were still a few years and months left?
"Then why don't you announce your engagement?"
