Chapter 1011: Is That So? But I Haven’t Received Any Notice Yet
"Ling Qian, don’t look at me like that, it’s Fifth Brother who said it." Gu Fengjin looked at the person across from him, with a slight smile."However, Lady Xia’s alchemy skills are so advanced, there’s no need for her to change her career."
"Sixth Uncle, just call me Nian Nian." Xia Yinian gathered herself and responded softly.
"Alright, Nian Nian." Gu Fengjin nodded slightly.
"I have no objections, as long as Nian Nian makes a decision, I’ll agree with it." Gu Lingqian extended his long arm and pulled the person beside him closer.
"Well, alchemy is quite good." Old Madam said with a smile.
No matter how much she tries to convince herself, Xia Yinian’s smile was still a bit forced, especially with an unfriendly gaze across from her.
Today, the table seating was changed to Fifth Uncle and Sixth Uncle’s people, which seemed better than sitting with Third Uncle’s family.
However, with Uncle here, Xia Yinian found it truly hard to act naturally.
The impact Uncle had on her had long surpassed that of the Old Master.
"Having real skills, developing in this industry isn’t bad." The Old Master glanced at Xia Yinian and then looked at Yu Wanqing.
"Wanqing, don’t give up! Dad believes in you."
The Old Master’s words were quite meaningful.
Apart from expressing doubts about Xia Yinian’s alchemical capability, he also directly confirmed Gu Beicheng and Yu Wanqing’s marriage arrangement.
Everyone was momentarily bewildered, as Xia Yinian’s sudden rise as a newcomer was indeed hard to believe.
However, when comparing backgrounds, everyone knew Yu Wanqing’s was more powerful, especially in alchemy.
"Seventh Young Master and Lady Qing finally have some good news?" Gu Zhixiang smiled slightly, easing the awkwardness.
"Is that so? But I haven’t received any notice." Gu Beicheng barely raised an eyebrow, glancing back at the housekeeper.
"Let’s begin dinner, Feimo will be back quite late."
"Yes, Seventh Young Master." The housekeeper nodded, turned, and left.
Gu Feimo was always like this, everyone didn’t pay much attention.
However, Gu Beicheng’s words made the Old Master quite displeased, but Gu Zhixiang didn’t know.
"Lady Qing has been calling our dad, Dad, there’s good news but not sharing it with Fifth Brother?" Gu Zhixiang continued.
"I really didn’t know." Gu Beicheng raised an eyebrow, turning to look at Yu Wanqing.
"Lady Qing, are you marrying me? When? Or is your marriage partner Sixth Brother?"
Gu Beicheng looked at Yu Wanqing, not appearing to be joking at all.
"Sixth Brother, not sharing the good news with us?" Before Yu Wanqing could speak, Gu Beicheng shifted his gaze again and said softly.
Glancing at Uncle, then at Yu Wanqing, Xia Yinian felt much better.
The Old Master not believing in her ability, she knew long ago, so she shouldn’t be bothered.
She turned her head to give the man holding her a reassuring look, gently pulled his arm down.
Not letting him embrace her, but Xia Yinian held Gu Lingqian’s hand on the table.
The two were almost intertwining fingers, and it was Xia Yinian’s initiative.
Giving Gu Lingqian a look meaning "don’t overthink, just acting," Xia Yinian then withdrew her gaze and faced everyone.
When Yu Wanqing wanted to speak, the Old Master’s voice rang out again.
"Wanqing, don’t mind this kid, he’s just like that, hasn’t changed in over twenty years."
Upon hearing the Old Master’s words, Yu Wanqing sloughed off her previous expression, replacing it with a gracious and dignified look.
"Old Master, don’t say that. I know Beicheng’s personality well. He loves joking the most, why would I mind?"
