Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Lao San, You’re in Love

Qiao Chengchun hurriedly picked up a magnifying glass and took a close look, "Hiss—", indeed, just as the girl had said, the pattern was coarse and dreadful!

He looked at An Yiqing with admiration, nodding his head and sighing incessantly, "Qingqing is not only keen-eyed but also detail-oriented. Such meticulousness, even for an old hand like me, is easily overlooked. Alas, the pupil outdoes the master!"

"Uncle Qiao flatters me too much," An Yiqing modestly shook her head, jesting, "How can I compare with you? It’s just a bit of dabbling on the side, nothing serious."

Although she said so, in his heart Qiao Chengchun grew even fonder of the girl Yiqing. He shook his head with a touch of regret and said, "Ah! If only my son weren’t married, how wonderful it would be to pair you two up?"

"Oh come on, stop with the indecent remarks! With Xiao Qing’s capabilities, how could she possibly fancy our family’s lazy and good-for-nothing boy?!" Shi Ruihe walked in with dishes just in time to hear her husband’s words and couldn’t help but retort with a chuckle.

"Hahaha! You’re right about that!" Qiao Chengchun laughed heartily, "A fine girl like Qingqing would only be suited for a real dragon among men, oh my! That’s right! General Gu! He would be a perfect match for Xiao Qing!" Qiao Chengchun slapped his forehead, suddenly recalling how Gu Yelin had tensely defended An Yiqing previously.

An Yiqing reluctantly twitched the corner of her mouth, wondering who this match-making old man in front of her was. Weren’t people always saying that the Antique King was composed, elegant and pursued perfection? Could it be that someone impostor had taken his place?

The meal Shi Ruihe cooked was very appetizing. Although it wasn’t as exquisite and delicious as the dishes Gu Yelin made, An Yiqing felt a mother’s touch in these dishes, which made her feel all the closer to Mr. and Mrs. Qiao.

After repeated urging from Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, An Yiqing stayed for a while longer then stood up to take her leave.

After leaving the courtyard, An Yiqing was in a buoyant mood, slowly taking in the local flavor of the old alleys of Xuandu City. That’s when Gu Yelin called her.

"What are you doing?" The man’s deep and pleasing voice slowly sounded, filled with overwhelming affection and longing.

"Um, I just finished treating Qiao Chengchun, and have just left his house." An Yiqing’s eyes curved into a smile, missing the man at the other end of the phone.

"I’m coming to pick you up," Gu Yelin said, already reaching for his car keys to head out.

"No, there’s no need," An Yiqing quickly interjected, "This courtyard is lovely, I want to walk around by myself. I’ll just take a taxi back later."

After much pacifying from An Yiqing, Gu Yelin finally gave up the idea of picking her up.

"Where are you?" She relaxed, having appeased him.

"I’m at Gu Family Mansion. It’s the weekend, and Old Master Gu wants everyone to come home for dinner," he explained.

The two continued to coo over the phone sweetly for quite some time before reluctantly hanging up.

Gu Family Mansion

Today is Saturday, and following the Gu family’s long-standing tradition, on this day of the week, everyone is supposed to come together for a meal.

At the dining table, Old Master Gu Zhongyi sat at the head, with Gu Yelin’s eldest uncle Gu Qingming and his wife, as well as the second uncle Gu Qingfeng and his wife, and his father Gu Weijun, to his right. To his left were Gu Yelin, his second brother Gu Hanlin, and Gu Tingting. Gu Yelin’s eldest brother Gu Zhunlin, who was still in the special forces, couldn’t make it home.

Although the Gu family was from the Ancient Martial Arts Families, Old Master Gu was quite progressive and didn’t hold onto those feudal manners seen in grand families, which is why the atmosphere at the dinner table was very relaxed.

"Lao San, heard you’re in a relationship?" Elder Gu asked with a steady face and a serious expression, but his ears were eagerly perked up for the news.

Gu Yelin coldly swept his gaze over the ready-to-gossip crowd, then fixed his eyes on Second Aunt Chen Fang, sending a shiver down her spine.

"Yes."

With Gu Yelin’s simple affirmation, the news exploded among those who were still in the dark, like Gu Qingming and others.

"Lao San is in love?!" Gu Qingming exclaimed so loudly that the neighbor’s husky started howling.

"Damn! Lao San, you’re actually in love?!" Second Brother Gu Hanlin nearly poked his nose with his chopsticks in shock.

"Great! I have a daughter-in-law now!" Gu Weijun slammed his hand down in excitement, then looked up to the sky and shouted, "Wife, our son is getting a daughter-in-law!"

The Gu family members all buzzed with excitement, especially Gu Tingting, who almost choked on a mouthful of water.

"Cough, cough, cough! Third Brother! Has Qingqing agreed to you?!" Tingting hastily wiped off the juice from her mouth, her eyes filled with intrigue, "That’s wonderful! Qingqing is finally going to be my sister-in-law! I’m going to call her!" Tingting said as she stood up neatly, about to leave, but was promptly grabbed by the collar by Gu Yelin.

"Don’t tell her that the Gu family knows about this. I’m afraid she might get nervous. And if you let it slip, forget about ever getting that Lamborghini."

Tingting nodded eagerly like she was pounding garlic, and even mimed a zipping motion over her mouth. For the sake of her Lamborghini, she’d keep a tight lid on it.

"Tingting knows your girlfriend?" Watching Tingting’s retreating figure, the rest were curious.

"Qing is Tingting’s roommate," Gu Yelin turned his head towards Elder Gu, "Grandfather, she’s Elder Ye’s disciple."

"Elder Ye? Which Elder Ye?" Old Master Gu was slightly puzzled.

"Your old friend, Sect Leader Ye Chenghong of the Medicine Sect."

"What?!" Old Master Gu slapped his thigh and sprang to his feet, twirling his beard in excitement, then let out a boisterous laugh, "Hahaha! It turns out she’s Old Ye’s disciple! That girl’s character is beyond reproach! Old Ye has been bragging non-stop about his treasured disciple as if she’s a delicate flower! Lao San, you must bring the girl over sometime for me to meet her!" Old Master Gu declared as he waved his hand, showing a bit of his younger self’s commanding presence.

"No."

"And why not?!" Old Master Gu puffed up with annoyance, almost ready to discipline Gu Yelin with the sole of his shoe.

Gu Yelin showed no fear of his grandfather’s authority. His tone was as calm as ever, "It’s too soon. I fear she won’t be able to take it. Let’s wait a bit longer."

"Wait?!" Elder Gu bellowed, "Wait for what? By the time you’re ready, I’ll be in my coffin!"
