Sweet Wedding and Pampering Love - C123

After Ming Xue Mo finished paying her respects to her first love, she finally went downstairs.

Dai Weiping had been listening attentively the whole time. When she heard the door open, her heart, which had been in suspense the whole time, finally felt at ease. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the stairs, waiting for Momo to come out. However, when she appeared within her line of sight, a new dissatisfaction arose in her heart. Why did she suddenly come down wearing a sportswear? It wasn’t as adorable as the one she wore previously. But since Gu Zi was asking, it wasn’t convenient for her to say anything. She could only comfort herself in this way. Maybe Young Master Gu liked this kind of simple style. It made him look very young.

She even held her hand and patted the back of her hand, just like a mother who was about to marry her daughter, and said in a very happy tone, “Xue Mo, go out happily with Young Master Gu and play. In a while, your father and I will go to the house, invite your uncles and uncles and also your aunt uncle to come to the nighttime pub to celebrate your birthday. Tonight, our whole family will celebrate your birthday.”

There was a new layer of obscurity in Ming Xue Mo’s dull eyes. How did they know about tonight’s Party? There was no need to ask. Naturally, Gu Zi had asked and told them, because even Aunt Yun did not know of this arrangement. Then … What kind of mind did he have to tell them about Party?

Ming Xuemei was sure that her parents wanted to invite those family members who they rarely interacted with to celebrate her birthday. They simply wanted to show off that they had gotten into the high position in the Gu family. But Big Brother Gu, why did he intentionally tell them about Party? To slap their faces in public and make them give up; or was it to give her some face and fulfill their wish to take advantage of her power?

Mingxiu had decided that she wouldn’t participate in tonight’s Party because she didn’t want to see any positive solutions.

“Young Master Gu, let’s go.” She didn’t dare to call him Big Brother Gu. Firstly, she was afraid that her being too close to him would cause her parents to have even more terrifying dreams; secondly … Their series of actions had truly made her feel that she wasn’t worthy of calling him Big Brother Gu.

Gu Zi asked, almost curling his fingers and slapping her on the forehead. However, he looked at the couple pretending to be just glancing at them, but actually glaring at them like they were their own couple. Forget it, it was better to walk far away before saying anything more.

“Alright.”

Gu Zi asked as they walked out side by side, not exchanging a single word until they were in the car. Only when they were sure that the two of them wouldn’t hear or see what they were doing did he have the time to ask her, “What did you just call me?”

“You can force me to die, but you can’t force me to laugh at the same time you die.” You look like you’re fucking. Still, it was a lot more vivid than the look on her face when she was at home with her parents. At least she knew how to pout.

“Young Master Gu.” She rolled her eyes.

Gu Zi’s finger was already ready to move. “Try calling again.”

Would Ming Xue Mo be afraid of him? Just scream!

“Young Master Gu.” This time it came out of his nose.

Gu Zi’s hand fell on the steering wheel. “Hey, you’re really obedient. If I tell you to call me that, just call me.”

Ming Xue Mo didn’t expect him to say this, according to the previous situation, shouldn’t they start arguing? Who asked him to indulge her like that! I hate it.

“Drive.” She felt better, just sad.

Gu Zi gave a light “hmm”, then drove away from the Ming family home, arriving at the place they had chosen earlier, the Pure Heart Lake. When she chose to row here, Mingxue and Momo also thought about it. This was because the pure heart of the congenial voice meant that she had fallen in love. This was the first confession of her entire life, so she had to make sure that every detail was perfect. It was a pity that she had spent so much effort in the past.

Towards Gu Zi’s question, she definitely could not stop liking him just because her feelings had changed, but she could no longer unrestrainedly like him like before. Being with him now was a very contradictory feeling, wanting to get close to him but also alienating him … There was only one thing that had always hung in the air, and that had given her an accurate answer after the incident, and that was that she would go to Argentina to study as she had planned.

She didn’t know if this meant that between her parents and Gu Zi’s questions, she still chose the former, but she was very clear in her heart that her parents would always be able to deeply influence her. Rather than leaving behind to become their chess piece to curry favor with Big Brother Gu with a love that had been tainted by the mundane world, it would be better to leave behind a sincere love in the bottom of her heart and travel far away from the countryside.

He wanted to make it clear to her that he knew who she was, that he didn’t misunderstand her because of her parents’ actions, that she had come to help Gu Si with a different agenda, and that she should not be burdened by it. Besides, in the social and economic system, relationships were one of the most important factors in success, and her parents’ practices were human, but she was too simple to accept such worldly matters.

“Little girl, your parents …”

He had just begun his sentence when Ming Xue Mo impatiently interrupted him, “Can you not mention them?”

Seeing her so agitated, Gu Zi asked if he could worry about her. He advised her while driving, “Have you ever heard a saying, ‘I don’t mind my mother being ugly’?”

Mingxue laughed bitterly in her heart. Listen, he also felt that her parents were ugly. He said indignantly, “Auntie has more temperament than you, so of course you won’t dislike her.”

“Are you trying to pick on my bad temperament?” Gu Zi asked.

She longed for the care and concern of others the most, but now, she was afraid that he would be too kind to her. She was afraid that his kindness to her would become a weapon that her parents would use on him, and that all weapons were more or less offensive in nature.

“Big Brother Gu, I want to calm down.” She looked at him with sad eyes.

Gu Zi asked, unable to resist her focused gaze, especially since her eyes were currently filled with grief. He let out a ‘hmm’ from his nose, just like before, one hand holding the steering wheel, the other holding her small hand as he drove in a calm and steady manner.

However, Ming Xue Mo was no longer able to accept his sacrifice like before. When his hand reached over to pull her, she reflexively struggled for a bit. Although her movements were light, both of them felt it.

At that moment, Gu Zi asked something in his heart. It was as if he had experienced the feelings Teacher Tang and Gu Zhenxiong had when Mo Siwen and Gu Zi Yu were going to get married, but were strongly opposed by them. Even though his current situation was completely different from hers, his thoughts were still a bit far-fetched.

However, he couldn’t help but want to make a retort. Others would be upset if their parents had a conflict with each other, but as for her, her parents didn’t have the slightest dissatisfaction with him. Instead, she was unhappy. Mingli and Dai Weiping were both tactful people, so who did she inherit this temper from?

Gu Zi asked, silently cursing as he steadily drove the car.

Once they were there, Mingxue couldn’t wait to push open the door and get out of the car. Although she knew that this kind of thinking was a bit crazy, she was worried that her parents would hide somewhere and observe their situation. She didn’t want them to see Big Brother Gu open the door for her, didn’t want them to know how good Big Brother Gu was to her.

Gu Zi looked at her as if she was being chased by a ghost. He helplessly shook his head, turned off the engine, and got off the car. He then boarded the cruise ship they had booked the previous weekend. Seeing how her mood was so bad right now, he obviously couldn’t hope for her to personally paddle. Alright, then let him do it.

Gu Zi asked, taking the initiative to take over the responsibility of the boatman. He held an oar in each hand and shook it slowly, just to kill the time when the sun was bright and cloudless, and not to rush anywhere. It didn’t matter how fast the boat moved, if she really thought it was slow. In a word, speed was in the palm of his hand.

Mingxue didn’t have any objections to speed, but she maintained the distance between her and Gu Zi. She stood at the bow of the ship, waiting for the boat to slowly sail to the center of the lake. She reached into her pants pocket and tightly pulled the key that locked her first love knot, forcing herself to make up her mind.

One, two, three … She was like a person who desperately wanted to sleep but was tormented by insomnia, she kept counting the stars, but she knew that even if she were to dry out her saliva, the meteors would not appear, because it was daytime. Therefore, it was best to break it at once so that it would not be thrown into disarray.

Ming Xue Mo summoned up her courage and fished out the key, throwing it into the lake with all her might.

Looking at the dazzling light reflecting off the key, Mingxue covered her eyes as if she was afraid of being burned by its intense light. The moment the key fell into the water, she felt that her eyes were a little dry. She told herself that she did not want to cry. Unable to block the burning light, unable to protect the weak eye sockets, she just … In the end, he was still injured.

Gu Zi, who had seen her, threw away the oar in his hand and walked towards her. He furrowed his brows and asked, “What did you just throw away?” Look at her expression, which is more sad than ever, it must be something very important.

“They gave me a birthday present.”

As she said this, she realized the true meaning of another sentence. As expected, first love didn’t have a good ending. The coming of age ceremony that her parents gave her was to destroy the seed of love in her heart that she hadn’t had the time to break out of, causing her first love to die young.

Gu Zi definitely wouldn’t believe her words. Even if what she said was true, the meaning behind her words definitely wasn’t literal. He had to ask, “What did they give you?” How else could he comfort her this time?

However, Ming Xue Mo was no longer willing to tell him anything, like before. From the moment her parents revealed their ugly faces, she had to keep her distance, even though she was sad and unwilling, but sooner or later, they would have to separate, get used to it, and that would be good as well.

Instead of answering, she asked, “What are you going to give me?”

Gu Zi asked, only thinking that she was avoiding her question and guessing what the thing glowing with silver was. He didn’t answer her and said, “Didn’t I give you a Party?” Of course, in addition to Party, he had prepared other gifts that she would be able to see later.

Mingxue seemed to be very impatient, but before he could answer, he asked him another question, “Brother Gu, do you know how to swim?”

“Hmm?” There were two big questions written on Gu Zi’s handsome face. Why did she suddenly start worrying about whether he was swimming or not?

“Yes.” Although he did not understand, he still spoke the truth.

Mingxue took a deep breath and said, “I know what you’re going to give me.”

With that, she reached out and pushed him into the lake.
