My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 310 - 178: Accepting the Marriage Proposal [Update 1]

Chapter 310: Chapter 178: Accepting the Marriage Proposal [Update 1]

Rong Ye took a deep look at Gu Qingqing, seeing she was genuinely happy, the corners of his lips slightly lifted, "Alright."

Just like he said, no matter what choice Gu Qingqing made, he would always stand behind her, being her firmest support.

He patted Gu Qingqing’s head like he did when they were young, his expression indulgent.

This time, Gu Qingqing didn’t mind Rong Ye; instead, she nuzzled against his palm, squinting her eyes, a broad smile appearing on her lips.

...

With Gu Qingqing’s consent, when Jun Yutian brought it up again, Wen Guiyun finally nodded in agreement. Jun Yutian, initially in disbelief, widened his eyes at Wen Guiyun, completely losing his usual composure.

"What did you just say? I didn’t hear you, say it again." He paused, opening his mouth incredulously.

"If you didn’t hear it, then forget it." Wen Guiyun rolled his eyes at him, speaking with a trace of impatience.

"No, no, I heard it, I heard it," fearing Wen Guiyun would get angry, Jun Yutian quickly grabbed Wen Guiyun’s arm, saying, "Brother Wen, from now on, we count as in-laws, don’t be so distant."

Seeing Jun Yutian like this, Wen Guiyun didn’t want to pay attention to him more, he moved his arm and directly pulled it out from Jun Yutian’s hand, sitting aside.

"Then how about you choose a date, and we’ll exchange tokens and engagement letters?" Jun Yutian, unfazed by Wen Guiyun’s attitude, asked earnestly.

"Aren’t such things supposed to be the concern of the man’s side?" Wen Guiyun gave Jun Yutian a sidelong glance, speaking with dissatisfaction.

He already began to regret agreeing to this marriage, and now Jun Yutian wanted him to pick a date, did he think Wen Guiyun was delighted?

"Right, right, you’re right, it’s our concern; I’ll go back and discuss it, pick a few good dates, and you can choose one?" For the sake of Jun Wu’s marriage, Jun Yutian was really going all out; whatever Wen Guiyun said, he complied, showing none of his usual domineering demeanor.

"That’s more like it." Seeing that Jun Yutian didn’t insist on them choosing a date, Wen Guiyun was somewhat satisfied, "It’s best to handle things here first."

"Alright, no problem," Jun Yutian agreed immediately, knowing the importance of prioritization despite being anxious, "I’ll go back to discuss with Ah Wu then."

"Go, go." Wen Guiyun waved him off, practically pushing Jun Yutian out.

Leaving Wen Guiyun’s courtyard, Jun Yutian first returned to his own, having his subordinates find Jun Wu while informing his wife of the matter. Hearing that Jun Wu was going to be engaged, Jun Wu’s mother was very excited, eager to come over directly. She gave Jun Yutian a lengthy briefing until he felt dizzy, doubting if he and Jun Wu could manage, and finally decided to come over herself, as Jun Yutian wouldn’t be leaving Yuqiu Pass soon.

Unable to stop her, Jun Yutian had to agree but insisted she bring more guards to protect herself, resulting in getting scolded heavily by his wife.

Just after finishing the conversation with his wife, Jun Wu arrived.

"Father, you were looking for me?" Jun Wu was just sparring with Gu Qingqing and was surprised when he heard Jun Yutian was looking for him, especially since Gu Qingqing suddenly laughed and urged him to go over, leaving him puzzled.

"Ah Wu, today I brought up the marriage matter of you and Geng Geng with Master Wen again." Intending to see his son’s reaction, Jun Yutian deliberately left his words half-said.

As expected, upon hearing Jun Yutian’s words, Jun Wu’s expression shifted, "Master Wen still hasn’t agreed?"

Previously, Jun Yutian proposed several times but was rejected by Wen Guiyun, so Jun Wu was ready for another refusal.

"No, he agreed." Jun Yutian stated plainly with an indifferent expression.

"Agreed, oh, it’s fine, next time again..." Due to Jun Yutian’s calm reaction, Jun Wu thought Wen Guiyun had refused again, and was about to speak further along those lines when he suddenly realized something was off. He looked at Jun Yutian incredulously, "Father, did you just say Master Wen agreed?"

His tone was light, as if afraid of hearing a negative answer.

Seeing Jun Wu like this, Jun Yutian finally felt a bit pleased, dropping his coyness, "That’s right, he agreed to your marriage with that girl Geng Geng."

Confirming he hadn’t misheard, Jun Wu’s previously calm face instantly became excited, his cheeks even turned slightly red, and his brows and eyes were full of smiles. This was the first time Jun Yutian had seen Jun Wu so happy, leaving Jun Yutian feeling a bit envious.

"Thank you, Father. You’ve worked hard." After the initial joy, Jun Wu quickly regained his senses. He knew Jun Yutian must have put in a lot of effort with Wen Guiyun regarding this matter, and he immediately bowed to Jun Yutian to express his gratitude.

"It’s nothing. A bit of hard work from me doesn’t matter, as long as your marriage can be accomplished." Jun Yutian waved his hand dismissively, not minding it at all. Moreover, Wen Guiyun hadn’t really made things difficult for him. Even if he had, as long as Jun Wu and Gu Qingqing could be together, it would be worth it in his eyes.

Although Jun Wu didn’t speak further, he was deeply moved inside. He’s just not used to displaying his emotions outwardly, so he appeared quite calm.

"I discussed with Master Wen that we would choose a few dates for your engagement from our side, then let them select one. Your mother has already set off from Yunlan Sacred Land. Do you have any good dates to recommend?" Knowing his own son, Jun Yutian didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Mother is coming?" Jun Wu was somewhat surprised and then frowned, "Isn’t that a bit inappropriate? The distance from Yunlan Sacred Land to here is not short."

"You know your mother’s temperament. She has always been concerned about your marriage. Once she knew it was settled, how could she sit still? Don’t worry, I’ve already instructed her to bring more guards, and I’ll also set off tomorrow to meet her. You don’t need to worry." Jun Yutian explained his arrangements to Jun Wu.

Only then did Jun Wu feel a bit relieved, "That’s good then."

"Before your mother arrives, you can first look at the dates and pick a few good ones. When the time comes, let Geng Geng choose, or the two of you choose together. However, it would be best after resolving matters here, and then we return to Lingxi Sacred Land for the ceremony. That would be better." Jun Yutian was worried that Jun Wu might be too impatient, picking a near date, and they might still be at Yuqiu Pass, unable to handle things properly.

"I understand, Father, don’t worry, I will choose carefully." Jun Wu nodded, understanding Jun Yutian’s intentions, and immediately replied.

"Alright, then off you go." Jun Yutian knew Jun Wu’s nature, so he didn’t say much more and directly allowed Jun Wu to leave.

After leaving Jun Yutian’s courtyard, Jun Wu was very excited, with an uncontrollable smile on his usually expressionless face, making the passing servants very surprised.

He went straight to Gu Qingqing’s courtyard, where Gu Qingqing was sitting in the pavilion enjoying the sun. Seeing her, Jun Wu immediately went over and pulled her into his embrace.

"What’s wrong?" Suddenly being hugged, Gu Qingqing was momentarily stunned. Feeling the excitement emanating from Jun Wu, she asked.

"Thank you, Geng Geng," Jun Wu nestled his head against Gu Qingqing’s shoulder and whispered softly into her ear, "Thank you for agreeing to marry me!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingqing was taken aback, her cheeks immediately flushed red, even her ear tips turned red, clearly very shy.

"What’s there to thank for?" She felt a bit fortunate at being held by Jun Wu and that he couldn’t see her cheeks.

"I must thank you. I know that if it weren’t for you speaking to Master Wen, he wouldn’t have agreed so quickly. Rest assured, I will take good care of you. I’m not one to make promises lightly, but if I make one, I will certainly fulfill it. I, Jun Wu, can swear by the heavens to love only Gu Qingqing in this life. If I break this oath, let my path be destroyed, my body vanish, and never reincarnate!" Jun Wu pulled back slightly, looked at Gu Qingqing, and said very earnestly.

Meeting Jun Wu’s eyes, Gu Qingqing saw that his eyes only held her at the moment. With his vow resounding in her ears, Gu Qingqing felt completely immersed in Jun Wu’s love, with no desire to leave.

"I know, I only like you too," Gu Qingqing looked at Jun Wu, speaking with deep affection, despite her shyness.

Upon hearing this, Jun Wu was even happier. Looking at Gu Qingqing, he found everything about her beautiful; every part was what he loved. His gaze finally fixed on Gu Qingqing’s lips, pink and gleaming with a moist shine, inviting his capture. His throat tightened, and he lowered his head without hesitation, kissing Gu Qingqing.

This time, because Jun Wu was so excited, the kiss was intense and forceful. He wanted to release all the excitement that he couldn’t otherwise vent and let Gu Qingqing feel his emotions.

At this moment, Gu Qingqing also fully sensed the turbulence hidden beneath Jun Wu’s calm exterior. She felt as if she’d forgotten everything around her, with the world seeming to only contain Jun Wu, and all she could perceive was his presence, passionate, lingering, and tender.

After a long while, the two finally parted, with Gu Qingqing leaning against Jun Wu’s chest, breathing softly, finally dispelling the darkness before her eyes.

"Father said we should pick a date together for the engagement. Mother is already on the way to Yuqiu Pass and should arrive soon. What day do you think would be good, Geng Geng?" Jun Wu, holding Gu Qingqing and gently stroking her back to help her breathe smoothly, asked tenderly.

"I don’t know. I’m not well-versed in this area, but I could ask my second senior brother. He’s an expert in this field." Thinking of Yue Zhao’s talent in divination, Gu Qingqing believed it would be a piece of cake for him to pick a date.

"Okay, then let’s have Second Senior Brother help us find a good date. Once things are wrapped up here, we can return to get engaged," Jun Wu nodded, rubbing his chin against Gu Qingqing’s head, speaking in a cheerful mood.
