Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

What kind of explanation is that?

Mr. Gu blinked, a hint of triumph on his face. He lowered his pistol, chuckled, and looked at the two men opposite him, saying—

"I see, I understand."

"puff."

Aunt Bai couldn't help but laugh. She clutched her stomach with one hand, grabbed the pistol with the other, pulled the trigger, and a small stream of water shot out...

"..."

Gu Qing's expression froze completely.

Chapter 659 Planning to have children? When? How many?

"You...you all..."

Gu Qing's fingertips trembled slightly. Looking at the two "old geezers" opposite her, she was almost filled with shame and indignation. She gritted her teeth and wanted to say something, but in the end, she bit her lower lip and swallowed it back.

Chen Ming's amused gaze made her cheeks burn even more, and she inexplicably "confessed," revealing her feelings.

Why did it turn out like this?

It was all planned!

Gu Qing wasn't stupid, so he immediately realized this. He deliberately provoked her to the point of losing her temper, and then revealed his true feelings.

But why did I actually fall for it? I was so careless and easily tricked into revealing information.

shame.

Uh...

She was trembling all over, her head bowed so no one could see her shameful and embarrassed expression. She secretly glanced at Chen Ming, who was suppressing a laugh, and couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.

Perhaps it's because he's here, because of his care, because I've become too at ease around him, and not as shrewd as before.

Love really does make a person stupid.

The dignified eldest daughter of the Gu family actually lost a move because of this today.

Aunt Bai smiled and said—

“We are worried. Actually, after observing him for the past two days, we can guess what's going on. Mr. Chen Ming is not a bad person…”

At most, he's just fickle.

Okay, actually being a womanizer is pretty bad.

Mr. Gu continued—

"Even though I had that thought, I still wanted to confirm it, and also to confirm your feelings... I really can't control you anymore, but I really can't rest easy. Now it seems, thankfully..."

"We may have been really presumptuous. I've thought about it for a long time, and I still want to say sorry to you. I'm sorry for making your life so hard. We didn't notice what you needed most, and that was our oversight."

“We don’t need to make amends now. Since you’ve made your own decision, your mother and I don’t need to say anything more. There’s nothing wrong with pursuing your own happiness.”

……

As Gu Qing listened to Mr. Gu's words, she felt increasingly uneasy. Could he really have said such things? Was his illness not yet cured? Should he have his brain checked again?

Thinking about very impolite things.

However, in her eyes, her parents' letting go of their resentment was indeed a significant change in their personalities.

I apologized to her and expressed my support for her.

This is all unprecedented.

They never approved of what she wanted to do, even after she took over the Gu family. They were extremely stubborn and inflexible, and she couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention.

They're inherently incompatible.

All I can say is that experiencing life and death once will help you let go of many unnecessary attachments and become more open-minded about the world.

far-reaching.

I initially thought they were going to threaten suicide to stop me, but I never expected this...

For a moment, Gu Qing stood there, stunned.

Mr. Gu looked at Chen Ming and said with a smile—

"Please take good care of her; she's actually a very stubborn child."

"I see."

Chen Ming smiled. He knew Gu Qing's stubbornness very well. Once she said she would do anything for him, she really would. Not even nine oxen could pull her back, and nothing he said would work.

But he clearly never agreed to this condition...

and many more.

Chen Ming suddenly paused, looked up at Gu Qing, and thought for a moment. He hadn't even agreed to the condition, yet Gu Qing was already offering it to him for free...

Thinking about it now, it seems a bit strange.

Had I been tricked by Miss Gu...?

Using debt repayment as an excuse, he ended up sleeping with his creditor? And then he kept her in his house as a mistress. If the roles were reversed, he would be inhuman!

...Something feels a bit strange.

Chen Ming pondered deeply.

This tactic looks so familiar, why is that? It's so strange.

Aunt Bai said with a smile—

"Although Gu Qing is a bit stubborn, short, and old, and still likes to watch cartoons and play games at her age... she's rich, and with the Gu family as her dowry, she can barely pass muster."

"..."

Gu Qing's face slowly darkened. Looking at her mother, she vaguely sensed something was wrong. Was she speaking up for her, or was she deliberately trying to insult her?

So you're saying you're completely useless and only good at making money, right? Is that what you mean?

The rare moment of being moved has quickly turned into murderous intent after a few incidents.

These two guys...

Miss Gu clenched her fists.

Moreover, marriage, dowry, and so on...

She couldn't help but blush and exclaim again—

"What dowry? Don't talk nonsense! He... he can have it anytime he wants, but it's not a dowry..."

Gu Qing's face kept changing, one moment blushing and the next dark. Chen Ming watched from the side, laughing. Such a lively and interesting person like Gu Qing was worth watching and appreciating more of.

I even wanted to record it so I could reminisce later.

He scratched his head and said—

"We're not short of money at home, so let Gu Qing keep her things."

He won't care about any of that anyway.

Both men and women have jobs, so it's normal for them to support each other. All Chen Ming can do is wait at home for Gu Qing to finish her work and come back to cook her a meal and have some intimate moments.

These are precisely the things Gu Qing wanted, things that her parents had overlooked.

Chen Ming felt something was off as soon as he said it.

Did he subconsciously project himself into the role of Gu Qing's son-in-law? It seems he and Gu Qing haven't fully acknowledged this nominal relationship yet...

Chen Ming glanced at Aunt Bai; this woman was not to be underestimated either. Gu Qing had actually outmaneuvered these two in the family feud, so she was actually even more capable, but now she was a bit dim-witted and had been spoiled rotten by him.

Everyone laughs at Dongyi, yet everyone around him becomes Dongyi.

Demons, angels, sword immortals, elders... they've all lost their minds.

Love can indeed sometimes have negative effects.

Aunt Bai shook her head.

"They've already sided with him so quickly, it's too late."

Aunt Bai reached out and took Chen Ming's hand, smiling as she said to him—

"Alright, let Gu Qing handle that. She's more familiar with it. You two can discuss it yourselves. We won't presume to interfere. But... we'd like to ask one more question: Are you planning to have children? When? How many?"

Mr. Gu smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation, and said—

"Thirty years old isn't young anymore; it's time to have a child. If you find it troublesome, you can let us take care of the child. There are only a few people in the family, and having another child would make it more lively..."

I originally thought Gu Qing would live a lonely life, since I'd never heard of her being interested in anyone. And with the issue of her lifespan remaining unresolved, Mr. Gu and the others weren't in the mood to pressure her into marriage. Now it seems there's a sucker... cough cough, a young man willing to take her in, and he's quite a catch, so what are we waiting for?

I wish I could hold a banquet today.

"enough!"

Gu Qing suddenly left her seat, almost fleeing the restaurant. Chen Ming clearly saw that her cheeks were so red that she was about to burst into tears.

That's really cute.

He smiled.

Chapter 660 Hand Your Daughters Over to Me

Gu Qing slipped away; that's a bit unethical.

Chen Ming stood alone facing her parents, his expression somewhat frozen. What's wrong? Are you trying to push all the blame onto me?

I feel awkward too; they ran away without taking me with them...

Why the hell?

Chen Ming was inwardly groaning.

Faced with the enthusiastic gazes of his uncles and aunts, and even Aunt Bai holding his hand to prevent him from escaping... could we call for outside help here?

He felt that it should be a battle of soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals, and that he should call his parents over to fight, since he was just a small fry and not even worth a bite.
