The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 144 Twenty Years Late
The days at home passed by especially quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the day for ancestor worship.

Gu Qingyin had not originally planned to go, after all, she was not in the Huo family's genealogy.

It would be fine for her to attend a banquet and act as the mistress of the Huo family. After all, she is indeed Huo Xingye's mother.

But if she went there as the mistress of the Huo family on such an important day as the ancestor worship, she would be suspected of making fun of and being disrespectful to her ancestors.

In the end, Gu Qingyin got on the car heading to the Huo’s old house.

This old house is not that old house. The old house they usually refer to is where Huo Yunjing lived before. This old house is the Huo family’s foundation for thousands of years. It is an antique-like old house passed down from ancestors.

So the question is, why did Gu Qingyin embark on this journey even though it was clearly against the rules?
Because a certain ghost wanted to take the opportunity to write Gu Qingyin's name in the family tree, that is to say, the ghost wanted to hold a wedding ceremony, even though it was a ghost marriage.

Huo Yunjing felt that ancestor worship was the best opportunity, as the Huo family would gather at this time. He wanted his wedding to be lively, and he was afraid that if he invited outsiders, they would be scared and it would end badly, but the Huo family was different, and they could scare them at will.

In addition, vassal families such as the Xue family, the Hua family, and the Chen family can also participate. Huo Yunjing can already imagine the lively scene of the wedding.

Of course, the prerequisite for the wedding to be held smoothly is that Gu Qingyin must agree to his proposal.

"I can't run." Gu Qingyin sat between Huo Xinghai and Huo Xingchen, looking helpless, "To be honest, it's a bit crowded."

The brothers remained unmoved.

Gu Qingyin continued, "Don't you think Xingye is a little lonely sitting in the front alone?"

Huo Xinghai smiled, "Brother probably won't mind. He always enjoys being alone."

Huo Xingchen predicted: "You don't have to worry about Guoguo being lonely. Guoguo and Maomao get along very well."

Gu Qingyin repeated the action of opening and closing her mouth three times. After that, she sighed and reiterated, "I really won't run away."

Huo Xinghai continued to smile, "We'll be there soon, please be patient, Mom."

The Huo family's old house is on a mountain, and it is a mountain far away from Yuncheng, but it is not desolate. There is a checkpoint at the foot of the mountain to register vehicles coming in and out. There are three checkpoints from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, the Huo's manor and castle have been renovated many times, showing traces of time everywhere, but the facilities are very modern.

The villa has formed its own ecological circulation system, and everything is self-sufficient.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the end of the world comes, the gate of the villa will become a natural fortress, and one can safely survive the end of the world without leaving the house.

The car stopped at the castle gate, and the members of the Huo family branch, who had already received the news, were waiting there with smiles on their faces.

Huo Xingye got off the car first, followed by Huo Xinghai and Huo Xingchen.

After Huo Xinghai came out, he bent down and stretched out his hand towards the car. Gu Qingyin put her hand on it with a helpless look on her face, and got out of the car with his force.

No one in the Huo family was surprised at all.

Gu Qingyin sighed. Who could have thought that she didn't get a marriage certificate with Huo Yunjing back then.

"Madam, Master, Second Young Master, Third Young Master."

Everyone greeted each other with a smile, and for a moment, the entrance of the castle became lively.

In fact, the term "mistress" should be used to refer to the wife of the head of the family, but because the head of the family has not yet married, the title of the previous generation is still used.

When Huo Xingye gets married in the future, his wife will become the new mistress, and Gu Qingyin will become the "old lady".

"The room is ready." The castle's butler, wearing a tuxedo and white gloves, smiled cordially and bowed slightly, saying, "Everyone can go back to your room to wash up and rest. The dinner will be held on time in one hour."

The castle is not high, only six floors, but it covers a very large area.

The owner's private bedroom is on the fifth floor. Gu Qingyin and Xinghai Xingchen's rooms are also on this floor, not far from the master bedroom.

Guoguo suddenly came to a strange place, and this place was big and empty. The child was a little scared and held Gu Qingyin tightly.

There was no other way, Gu Qingyin could only take her and Maomao to live in the same room. As soon as Huo Xingye closed the door, Huo Yunjing appeared behind him silently. The moment he turned his head, his heart almost jumped out.

But the upbringing of a domineering CEO did not allow him to show any sign of it. He looked calm, and his voice did not even tremble. "Dad, are you ready?"

Huo Yunjing, who was thinking about proposing, didn't notice Huo Xingye's abnormality at all. He frowned and said, "Guoguo is too much of a bother."

He needs an absolutely private space without any naughty kids messing around.

Huo Xingye nodded calmly, "This is easy, just let Xinghai take Guoguo out to play."

"Then call your brother and ask him to act faster." Huo Yunjing urged.

Except for Gu Qingyin, everyone else in the family and the ghosts knew about the proposal. Oh, and we have to exclude Guoguo who can't act.

After receiving the task, Huo Xinghai immediately went to pick up Guoguo and told her to go explore the ancient castle.

When he heard about adventure, Guoguo nodded repeatedly with shining eyes, and took Maomao away as well.

Gu Qingyin was the only one left in the room.

Here, Huo Yunjing put on the suit and leather shoes that his sons had prepared for him, took the roses and the engagement ring, and walked out of the door in a heroic manner.

Turn left and walk ten meters, then knock on Gu Qingyin's door.

Gu Qingyin had just finished taking a shower and was blowing her hair. The knock on the door was slow and empty, and one could tell it was not a knock made by a human.

She couldn't help but wonder, when did Huo Yunjing become so polite? Didn't he just walk through the wall in the past?
Putting down the hair dryer, Gu Qingyin walked over and opened the door, her eyes widened in surprise, "You are..."

"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Huo Yunjing asked in a deliberately low voice.

Gu Qingyin couldn't help but shudder, "Speak carefully, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but beat you up."

Huo Yunjing: "...Okay."

After failing in his mission, Huo Yunjing almost lost confidence.

"Come in." Gu Qingyin greeted, "Sit down first, I'll blow dry my hair, I'll be right back."

Huo Yunjing: ...The atmosphere is gone!

He sat dejectedly on the sofa and reflected. This kind of thing really can't be kept secret. He should give some hints so that the person being proposed to can be prepared. Otherwise, it will easily end up like this.

I'm stuck here awkwardly, not knowing whether I should continue.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Qingyin came out and called softly, "Yun Jing."

Huo Yunjing looked up, with a flash of astonishment in his eyes. Then he quickly stood up and straightened his clothes, which had few wrinkles to begin with, even more. Then he looked at Gu Qingyin again, and was filled with amazement.

"you are pretty."

Yes, Gu Qingyin not only guessed his purpose, but also took advantage of the time when her hair was blow-dried to change her skirt and do a simple hairstyle.

Gu Qingyin smiled shyly and walked in front of Huo Yunjing.

Huo Yunjing handed over the rose in his hand, then knelt on one knee solemnly, took out the ring, and said softly: "Qingyin, will you marry me?"

There was no grand venue, no witnesses from other people, just them.

This proposal was twenty years late; it no longer needed external splendor; time was its best decoration.

"In the future, I want to grow old with you."

"it is good."
