Chapter 1207 -1205 Engagement

After Gu Cheng and his father, Gu Zhen Ting, left, Sally received a notification from the System: [-500 reputation points, balance: -360 reputation points].

Sally: …This little brat, better not let her fall into my hands in the future!

In the middle of the night, Sally suddenly woke up.

The strange smell of blood in the air made her entire body tense!

‘Click—’ The room door opened, it was Xia Moli.

She was wearing a black coat, hiding the blood-stained clothes underneath.

Seeing Sally awake, she quickly walked to the bedside and placed a cross pendant necklace around her neck, “Yanyan, Uncle Gu will send someone to pick you up shortly. Pack any important items quickly. You might have to stay at Uncle Gu’s house for a while.”

“Mom, what’s happened?” Sally looked scared.

Xia Moli hugged Sally tightly, “I’m sorry, Yanyan, your dad and I have to handle something else, we can’t take care of you, I’m sorry!”

Sally looked towards the door, where Su Kairao was standing, also with an apologetic expression.

Sally quickly calmed down, “Dad, Mom… I understand, go do what you need to do. I’ll be obedient at Uncle Gu’s house, study well, and wait for you to come back and pick me up.”

“I’m sorry, Yanyan.” Su Kairao turned his head to hide the tears at the corner of his eyes.

Xia Moli, distressed by Sally’s maturity and understanding, cried loudly.

…

A military helicopter took Su Kairao and Xia Moli away.

Even if Sally were foolish, she would understand that her adoptive parents were definitely not ordinary people.

Gu Cheng arrived.

Seeing Sally standing at the door with her suitcase, he looked indifferent.

When Sally saw him, she sighed inwardly.

Alright, not only did she not make others fall into her hands, she ended up at someone else’s mercy first!

Gu Cheng looked at Sally coming up.

2 hours earlier, at the Gu family study.

“I don’t agree with this marriage. I’m only 17. I not only don’t want to marry, but I’m also not of legal marriage age.”

“Then get engaged first, and marry when you’re 20.”

“Dad, I have a girl I like!”

“Break up! In any case, you must marry Sally!”

“Why?”

“Because the Su couple chose you!”

Gu Cheng suddenly recalled Xia Moli mentioning they had specific quotas for enrolling children in school. Could he also be their chosen son-in-law?

Just who are this couple, to be so domineering!

“I refuse!”

“You do not have the right to refuse, or get out of this house!”

…

Sally sat in the backseat on the right side.

On her left was Gu Cheng.

There was no driver; the car was fully autopiloted.

The overly quiet car cabin felt somewhat oppressive.

Since Gu Cheng didn’t speak first, neither did Sally. Besides, a bit of quiet was good, giving her time to ponder the Su couple’s situation.

How did she not notice their extraordinary nature?

Even in the diary left by her original self, there were no hints or clues.

“Who are you exactly?” Gu Cheng asked with a somewhat irritated and unwilling tone.

Sally felt a pang in her heart; did he notice she was a fake?

Impossible!

“I am me, why ask?” Sally took a thermal flask from her bag and took a sip of warm water.

“My dad wants me to get engaged to you.”

“Pfft—” A mouthful of water sprayed onto Gu Cheng’s face!

Sally hurriedly grabbed a tissue to wipe Gu Cheng’s face, “Sorry, what did you just say?”

“Enough!” Gu Cheng pushed her away, “Stop pretending! Isn’t this all your choice?”

The academy was also her choice first, only then did the Su couple decide.

So he, too, should be the same!

“Me? I’m only 16, looking for a partner would be pointless.”

“Stop pretending to be innocent! Clearly, it was your parents’ request.”

“Impossible!” Sally didn’t believe it. The Su couple respected her choices greatly; how could they arbitrarily decide on such an important matter as marriage?

“That’s the reality.” Gu Cheng looked at her coldly, “Even if you insisted on marrying me, it’s destined to be a marriage in name only.”

A marriage in name only?

Wait!

Sally wasn’t truly a 16-year-old girl.

Accumulating 17 billion reputation points wasn’t going to be easy, and it even has a deduction mechanism, making it even harder to gather.

This couldn’t be accomplished in a short time.

And in a few years, she would be old enough to marry.

Looking at Gu Cheng again, who seemed full of disdain and anger… wasn’t this the perfect shield!

Avoid future trouble thoroughly!!!

‘Clap!’ She clapped her hands firmly, “Alright! It’s settled then, a marriage in name only. Go and have fun with the woman you like, just don’t go overboard and end up with an unruly mess. Even if a child is born, I could consider helping to raise it.”

“…You!” Gu Cheng stared at her in shock, “Crazy!”

The car stopped, Gu Cheng got out and left without even looking at Sally.

Sally clenched her fist inwardly excited, “Yes!”

The depression over the deduction of reputation points was finally relieved.

Sally pulled her suitcase and looked at the cluster of palaces on Lake Heart Island, pausing for a few seconds.

This is the Gu family?

It is the Gu family, more accurately, this is the Princess’s villa—Mingzhu Island. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Sally found out from the Gu family’s servants that Gu Zhen Ting is a five-star admiral, and his wife’s status is even more noble—she is the Third Princess of the Empire.

This alternate temporal ruler is the Qianyuan Empire. The king is over eighty years old, with no sons, only five daughters. In the future, the Qianyuan Empire will surely choose an heir among these five princesses.

Currently, factional struggles within the Qianyuan Empire are gradually heating up.

A while ago, news broke that the old king was in poor health, although the official promptly refuted the rumor. However, with the Third Princess leaving Mingzhu Island overnight, it’s clear that the old king indeed has health issues.

Gu Cheng is the only son of Gu Zhen Ting and the Third Princess, an undisputed Royal Family member.

And in the current unclear situation of a Crown Prince, being the direct grandson of the old king, he inherently possesses the Empire’s succession rights.

So growing up like this, Gu Cheng truly hasn’t had it easy!

According to the servants, there have been four poisoning incidents. During horse riding lessons, he was thrown and almost trampled to death. A car accident on an outing… Similar life-threatening experiences can’t even be counted on two hands.

Therefore, when Sally saw Gu Cheng again, her eyes were filled with sympathy!

“Hey! What’s that look for?” Gu Cheng asked in disgust.

Sally replied, “If I’m a sickly person, then you’re a remorseful type, always facing the test of the God of Death! Tsk tsk tsk~ We really are a perfect match!”

“Who’s a perfect match with you? I have a girl I like.” Gu Cheng walked around Sally.

Sally chuckled softly, not believing it at all. How could this little brat living in the shadow of assassinations dare to genuinely like someone?

He might even worry that the fish he raises might jump out of the tank one day and bite him.

Gu Cheng’s already pale face turned even whiter, “My mom wants to see you.”

“Your mom?” Sally was stunned, wouldn’t that be the Third Princess!

“Want to get engaged to me, it’s not just up to you.” Gu Cheng said viciously.

But when the graceful and noble Third Princess saw Sally’s face—

“I agree with this marriage! Let’s handle the engagement first, and hold the formal wedding after coming of age!”

After speaking, she hurried back to the Imperial Palace to ‘serve the King’.

Sally blinked and rubbed her ears, looking to the equally incredulous Gu Cheng beside her.

Suddenly, she smiled charmingly with a hint of roguishness, “Hehe~ Hello, fiancé!”

Now it’s settled in stone!

Gu Cheng couldn’t accept it and fainted directly… A group of servants hurriedly carried him away.

Although not explicitly stated, Sally could guess that the Third Princess’s acceptance was mainly due to the Su couple.

Also her looks were good enough to present, plus, she formerly had health issues but now all indicators showed she was a healthy person, nothing to complain about.

So, the parents on both sides had reached an agreement for the marriage.
