Chapter 834: Chapter 834

Gu Family’s main gate—

Ais held both of Gu Yao’s hands, unable to conceal his smile. His excitement and exuberance were evident, lingering in that joy for a long time.

"Yaoyao, I’m going to prepare the betrothal gifts now. I’ll formally propose first thing in the morning."

"Mm." Gu Yao lowered her head slightly, her response was neither light nor heavy, making it hard to discern her current emotions.

"Are you sure you want to hold it at Brother and Sister-in-law’s wedding hotel? Although time is tight, I can arrange it..."

"There, then." Gu Yao interrupted Ais’s words.

"Alright, I’ll have the venue redecorated, it definitely won’t lose to anyone else’s wedding, I promise it won’t let you down." Swept up in love, Ais wished he could give her the best of everything in the world. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novｅlfire.net

However, Gu Yao’s response was still that same indifferent "Mm."

Perhaps because of confirming their relationship with Gu Yao, coupled with overwhelming excitement, Ais couldn’t restrain himself and hugged Gu Yao tightly.

He kept saying, "This is great."

It was obvious he was truly very happy.

Instinctively, Gu Yao reached out to push him away, but realizing her reaction, she didn’t follow through.

Ais’s enthusiasm filled Gu Yao with guilt and a sense of wrongdoing.

Because she didn’t love him.

But this man was genuinely kind to her.

She had heard that feelings could be nurtured over time.

Choosing between someone you love and someone who loves you, isn’t this an easy choice?

Thinking of this, Gu Yao felt much better.

Ais hugged her for a while before reluctantly letting her go: "I’ll go get ready, you rest well tonight, see you tomorrow."

After Ais left, Gu Yao stood there for a long time, so long that her legs went numb, and the gatekeeper called her several times without getting a response.

She was like a lifeless shell, standing there.

Just a gust of wind could make her wobbly legs sway.

Who knows how long it took before she came to her senses, then slowly turned around and walked back.

It was already two in the morning; she stood at the entrance for nearly five hours...

Gu Li, who accompanied the bride to her family home for a few days, immediately explained to the parents about Ais’s suspicious intentions upon learning of this.

Urging them to stop Gu Yao from marrying Ais at any cost.

The Gu Family couple was all the more worried upon hearing this, and the old man’s statement "If she can marry, let her marry" was instantly nullified.

After calming the family, Gu Li hurried towards the Gu Family, trying to contact Gu Yao along the way, but Gu Yao wouldn’t pick up any calls, locking herself in her room.

Gu Yao, who thought she’d be sleepless, surprisingly fell asleep within three minutes after going to bed.

This spared her a lot of torment.

Meanwhile, Gu Sheng was nowhere to be found.

That night, Ais was the happiest. Having grown up without parents, he didn’t know what betrothal gifts to prepare, so he specifically asked around with a particularly good attitude.

He found a way to get everything that was said to be essential, no matter how expensive or hard to find, and even prepared those that were said to be optional.

All night, he was busy without a moment to rest.

At nine in the morning, six imposing luxury cars drove into the main gate of the Gu Family.

Impeccably dressed, Ais came to propose marriage.

Despite being busy all night, there was no trace of fatigue on his face, only happiness.
