Chapter 725: Chapter 725 Engagement (3)

Old Master Gu snorted coldly and patted the sofa lightly but firmly: "You are cold by nature and too heavy on killing intent, not suited to deal with the trivial matters of the clan. Girl Qing, on the other hand, is different. She is thoughtful and skilled. She shows tolerance when needed and ruthless decisiveness when necessary, but most importantly, her spirit is just! Such a girl is more than suitable to be the matron of our Gu Family! With her around, I can rest easy knowing that even a hundred years from now, when my time comes to ascend to the heavens, all will be well."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yelin suddenly raised his head, fixing his gaze intently on Old Master Gu, and said in a low voice, "Grandfather, with me here, you won’t."

Old Master Gu certainly understood what his grandson meant. He smiled contentedly, affectionately glanced at Gu Yelin, and spoke with a broad smile, "Do you think you are Yama Raja or something? Everyone must die, sooner or later. You need to accept that. Just like your father, although he still can’t forget your mother to this day, he seems quite at ease, cheerfully living his life day by day with your mother’s photo in hand. You are too emotionally involved, which is a good thing, but don’t let it become your demon."

In fact, Old Master Gu’s intuition was quite accurate. Although Gu Yelin was cold by nature, he valued relationships deeply and would wholeheartedly stand by those he was committed to. Old Master Gu couldn’t even begin to imagine what foolish things his grandson might do should any misfortune befall An Yiqing.

As the saying goes: to become a demon for love is not merely a saying.

However, Old Master Gu buried these worries deep in his heart. Tomorrow was a day for celebration, and it would be too inauspicious to speak of such things.

"You’re engaged, and that’s like starting a family. Take more interest in family matters from now on. Your eldest uncle and second uncle’s families regard you as one of their own, treat them well."

"I know, Grandfather." Gu Yelin nodded and said softly.

"Good, that’s what I like to hear. I know you’re a child with good sense. Once you’re married, you must do everything you can for the An Family and Xiao Qing. Treat the An Family as you would the Gu Family. Old An and his large family are all people with just hearts. Back in the day, he shouldered a gun and went to the battlefield with me—that’s a bond forged in the heat of combat. You must be a good son-in-law to the An Family. By the way, you should also visit those ancestors of the Gu Family clan after your engagement with Xiao Qing; they have secluded themselves for so many years, it’s hard to know how they are now. Lately, my eyelid keeps twitching; I feel as though something significant is about to happen in Xuanjin. Ai!"

Looking at Old Master Gu with a worried expression, Gu Yelin’s gaze turned solemn as he declared decisively, "Grandfather, don’t worry. With me here, nothing bad will happen to the Gu Family or the An Family!"

Old Master Gu nodded with relief, having always been extremely confident in this grandson, who had been the most outstanding and resilient from a young age.

"All right, it’ll be a busy day tomorrow, so head back early and get some sleep."

...

May 2nd dawned bright and clear, with gentle winds and beautiful sunlight. The almanac stated it was a favorable day for marriage and travel.

Early in the morning, both the An Family and Gu Family members got up early from their beds. Especially a few of the Gus were so excited that they barely slept, their faces brimming with joy.

At the entrance of Xuanjin Grand Hotel, flowers bloomed in profusion, wafting their fragrance, with Gu Yelin’s father, Gu Weijun, and Boss Gu Qingfeng standing happily in front of the door, looking dapper in their suits.

Inside the lobby, the engagement ceremony scene had already been arranged. The fresh flowers brought in specially by air early in the morning still glistened with dewdrops and were fashioned into various blooming groups, placed all around the lobby. At the front, the light blue and warm yellow hues intermingled, and the intimate joint photo of An Yiqing and Gu Yelin were turned into an ultra-high-definition large frame displayed at the entrance.
