Chapter 1005: Shouldn’t You Be Grinning Even in Your Sleep?
"Brother Ling Qian, you doing this, I..." Can I get angry? Obviously not.But, treating him like this isn’t fair, and she won’t feel good inside. Does he understand?
Xia Yinian pouted her lips and had just thought about pulling away from his grasp, only to realize that Grandma was watching them from the main courtyard entrance.
"Didn’t I tell you not to feel any psychological pressure?" Gu Lingqian knew what the little girl was thinking. He turned his head to look at her, speaking even more gently.
"You tell me, how could I possibly feel no psychological pressure at all?" Xia Yinian glanced at his arm holding her, responding in a serious tone.
"Actually, you feeling psychological pressure is a good thing for me." Gu Lingqian averted his gaze, looking into the distance, and tightened his arm slightly.
"This proves that I still have hope, doesn’t it? I keep telling you, your fiancé is not bad at all."
Not giving Xia Yinian a chance to speak, Gu Lingqian continued, "We’ll talk about canceling the engagement once the agreement expires."
"Regardless of whether we have an engagement or not, I’ll wait for you until I’m thirty. If I’m still not married by thirty, even Grandma won’t let me be."
"This is my own decision and has nothing to do with you, so you don’t need to feel pressured. No matter how you treat me, I won’t change my mind."
Stopping in his tracks and bending down to meet the girl’s height, Gu Lingqian looked at her with a smile.
"With such a handsome fiancé, shouldn’t you be smiling in your sleep?"
"If there’s anything you’re unhappy with, I’ll get plastic surgery until you’re satisfied."
"But it’s going to be hard to find a hospital willing to take the risk, given how perfect I am; few would dare operate."
"Gu Lingqian, could you be more vain?" Xia Yinian pouted, letting out a heavy sigh.
"It’s not too bad if vanity is considered a kind of beauty." As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the rather vain man of the day continued forward with the girl in his arms.
Xia Yinian temporarily surrendered; today’s Brother Ling Qian was more than just vain, but his words left her speechless.
"Let’s not bring up this topic again." Gu Lingqian became serious once more.
"No matter how you ask, my answer will always be the same."
"And before I turn thirty, no matter how you hide, I’ll still find you, unless you’re truly happy. This is my promise to myself."
Xia Yinian looked ahead and didn’t respond further; there were about four years until he turned thirty.
Although that time period seemed a bit long, it’s still better than nothing.
She hadn’t even noticed when the two people in front went inside.
Anyway, when they walked over, only Grandma and her maid were left.
"Grandma." Xia Yinian set aside her irritations and called out sweetly.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival for family reunions, yet none of her family called her. They should still be in Yaoshan, right?
She hadn’t asked about what kind of punishment Xia Chuxue would receive.
Anyway, with the Third Young Master protecting her, she wouldn’t have much to worry about.
Only Grandma had called her to come back yesterday.
So, seeing the Old Madam was like seeing her real family.
"Why does Nian Nian’s face look like this? So did Wanqing earlier. Have you two been out in the sea breeze too much today?"
The elderly woman reached out her hand, and Xia Yinian bent down slightly, allowing the Old Madam to touch her face.
"It’s nothing. Maybe it’s because I didn’t take a nap this afternoon. We had such a great time on our trip today that we didn’t even have time to sleep."
