My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 287 - 155: Proposal [First Update]

"Crash!"

The teacup in Wen Guiyun’s hand fell to the ground and shattered upon hearing what Jun Yutian said. He completely ignored it, raising his head to look sharply at Jun Yutian.

"What did you just say?" He couldn’t quite believe his ears.

"I said, I’m here to propose marriage for my son!" Jun Yutian didn’t expect Wen Guiyun’s reaction to be so intense. Although he felt a bit guilty under Wen Guiyun’s gaze, he still went on with it.

What else could he do? His son only had eyes for Gu Qingqing, and they were already together. To Jun Yutian, marriage was the natural next step, and he thought Wen Guiyun wouldn’t refuse.

"No!" Wen Guiyun refused without a second thought, his expression unpleasant as he looked at Jun Yutian. "Geng Geng is so young, why talk about marriage?"

"I’m not saying they should get married immediately. I know Geng Geng is young; I just want to establish their engagement," Jun Yutian quickly explained. "You know too, my son only likes that girl Geng Geng. They’ve grown up together, they’re a perfect match, and now they like each other. Isn’t marriage very normal?"

Wen Guiyun clenched his fists, looking at Jun Yutian. Although he wanted to refute him, he also knew Jun Yutian was right. Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu were indeed mutually affectionate. Besides, Jun Wu grew up under his watch and was a trustworthy person, making him a perfect match for Gu Qingqing.

But no matter how rational the matter seemed, emotionally, he couldn’t accept Geng Geng talking about marriage so early.

Cultivators are different from ordinary people. Among cultivators, few truly become a couple. After all, cultivation is difficult, and the path to the Dao is hard to find. They’re already busy cultivating; where would they find the time for such things?

Of course, he’s not saying Gu Qingqing shouldn’t marry, just that she’s only fifteen years old, and discussing this now is too early!

"No, engagement is out of the question too. Geng Geng is too young," Wen Guiyun directly refused.

From the moment he accepted Gu Qingqing as his disciple, although he was her master, he always cared for her like his own daughter. The thought of his daughter marrying into someone else’s family made his father’s heart feel unbearable.

In any case, Wen Guiyun wasn’t even considering letting Gu Qingqing marry now, making his gaze towards Jun Yutian unwelcome.

Jun Yutian didn’t expect Wen Guiyun’s reaction to be so strong. He wanted to say more but feared making things worse, so he talked with Wen Guiyun about other things, not bringing it up again. However, it didn’t mean he gave up; on the contrary, he was thinking about how to persuade Wen Guiyun to agree.

...

Everyone in the Lingxi Sacred Land knew about Jun Yutian’s visit. They were curious about his purpose, given his special status. If it weren’t essential, he usually wouldn’t leave the Yunlan Sacred Land, let alone come to Lingxi Sacred Land!

In Gu Qingqing’s courtyard, Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu were also discussing this matter.

"Why did Uncle suddenly visit us? Did something big happen?" Gu Qingqing frowned, thinking about any significant events in the Sub-immortal Realm recently but couldn’t recall any. She couldn’t help but look at Jun Wu.

Jun Wu knew the purpose of Jun Yutian’s visit. He looked at Gu Qingqing, pursed his lips, and a tinge of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

"Jun Wu, what’s wrong? Do you have something to say?" Gu Qingqing asked curiously upon seeing Jun Wu like this.

Jun Wu stood up, walked to her side, knelt down, took her hand, and looked into her eyes.

"Geng Geng, will you marry me?" His eyes fixed on her, the affection in them as deep as the sea, wanting to envelop her.

Gu Qingqing was utterly stunned, not expecting him to ask her outright. She looked at him, momentarily speechless.

"Wh-what, why are you asking me this all of a sudden?" She turned her head, shyly avoiding his gaze.

"Because I want to be with you every moment, to walk in and out with you, to be your support." Jun Wu, noticing her shyness, smiled gently, stood up, and embraced her lovingly.

Held by Jun Wu, her nose filled with a faint, indescribable fragrance of his, Gu Qingqing’s cheeks were red, but her lips curled up slightly.

Before being with Jun Wu, Gu Qingqing hadn’t awakened to understand why people would sacrifice everything for love. But after being with him, she gradually realized how wonderful love was.

After being together, her affection for Jun Wu grew daily. She missed him when he wasn’t around and felt like no time together was enough when he was. Even during travels where they faced battles, she worried for him despite knowing his prowess, only easing when seeing him safe.

Every moment with Jun Wu made her happy; her heart pounded often when looking at him, feeling more fond of him each day.

She also dreamed occasionally of marrying Jun Wu, though shyness held her back from thinking further.

His sudden proposal filled her with sweetness and embarrassment.

"I’m-I’m not ready yet." She reached out, clutching Jun Wu’s clothes, speaking nervously and shyly.

Hearing no direct refusal, an unprecedented light shone in Jun Wu’s eyes. He gently released her, lowered his head to her level, and said, "You don’t need to hurry or prepare anything. As long as you’re willing, I’ll arrange everything for you."

For someone as precious as her, naturally, he would take care of everything, ensuring their wedding was perfect, leaving Gu Qingqing just to relish in it.

"It’s—it’s too soon. Let’s wait a bit longer." Gu Qingqing felt she might drown in his gaze and quickly looked away, speaking bashfully.

"Alright, as you wish." Jun Wu nodded, gazing at her with great affection.

He gently turned her head, one hand supporting the back of her head and the other holding her chin, leaned down slightly, and kissed her lips. Gu Qingqing, nervous, clutched his clothes tightly, closed her eyes, and accepted his kiss.

The two figures intertwined, creating a beautifully sweet picture enveloped in a sugary atmosphere.
