My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 311 - 179: Choosing an Auspicious Date [Part 2]

When Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu found Yue Zhao, Yue Zhao was playing chess with Si Lin. Although Si Lin was wholeheartedly devoted to Sword Dao and Artifact Refining, his chess skills were actually quite good. Among the senior brothers, only he and Yue Zhao could compete with each other, and the two were currently engrossed in a fierce battle.

"Geng Geng, why are you two here?" Yue Zhao was waiting for Si Lin to make his move after placing his piece, and looked up in surprise at Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu.

"Second Senior Brother, I’m here to ask for your help." Gu Qingqing glanced at Jun Wu and then spoke to Yue Zhao.

"What help?" Yue Zhao asked with some curiosity. After all, Gu Qingqing seldom asked them for anything or asked for their help; most of the time, it was they who proactively helped her.

"Master has agreed to Ah Wu’s proposal, and we need to pick a date for the engagement, so I came to ask Second Senior Brother for your help in choosing a date." Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu exchanged a glance and smiled as they spoke.

Upon hearing this, Si Lin immediately looked up at Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu from his chess piece, while Yue Zhao also looked at them in some surprise.

"Master agreed?" Yue Zhao was a bit stunned. His master had disagreed before; how had he agreed so quickly?

"Yes." Gu Qingqing nodded, confirming.

Yue Zhao looked at Jun Wu and then at Gu Qingqing, recalling that Wen Guiyun had said he would ask for Gu Qingqing’s opinion. It now seemed that it was Gu Qingqing’s own willingness that led to Wen Guiyun agreeing to Jun Yutian’s proposal.

Since Gu Qingqing was willing, Yue Zhao and Si Lin exchanged a glance and relaxed. They would also agree.

"Alright, I will help you choose a good date." Yue Zhao readily agreed.

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother." Gu Qingqing immediately beamed a bright smile at Yue Zhao.

"What’s there to thank me for?" Yue Zhao chuckled softly. "If the Senior Brother doesn’t help you, who would he help?"

Gu Qingqing was like a precious jewel in their hearts; as long as she asked, they would do anything, even if it was difficult. What’s more, it was just about finding a good date?

"I knew Second Senior Brother loves me the best." Gu Qingqing immediately gave Yue Zhao an even bigger smile.

"Ahem!" Si Lin, on the side, coughed twice, looking at Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing noticed Si Lin’s gaze and immediately gave him a big smile too. "First Senior Brother loves me the most too."

Si Lin nodded with satisfaction.

Since Yue Zhao had agreed, Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu handed the matter over to him entirely. After all, Yue Zhao would surely handle it well, and they only had to wait.

Both of them were in a great mood, thinking of going out for a stroll, but remembered Wen Guiyun’s earlier words, so they chose to stay in the villa instead.

...

Much as Jun Wu had expected, his mother arrived at Yuqiu Pass in three days, accompanied by Jun Yutian. Upon arrival, she did not look for Jun Wu first but went directly to see Gu Qingqing. She was overjoyed to find Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu together.

Previously, when Gu Qingqing was recuperating in the Yunlan Sacred Land, she had spent some time with Shen Shuyi, and they both had a good impression of each other. Shen Shuyi had urged Jun Wu at the time to quickly win Gu Qingqing back, and now that Gu Qingqing was about to become her daughter-in-law, she was naturally very happy.

As soon as she saw Gu Qingqing, she walked up to her and held her hand, saying, "Geng Geng, this is wonderful, Ah Wu, that reserved lad, finally managed to win you over, I’m so happy."

Gu Qingqing was momentarily stunned by Shen Shuyi’s enthusiasm. She glanced at Jun Wu, blushing slightly, not knowing how to respond to Shen Shuyi’s words.

"I’ve come specifically to discuss your engagement. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure everything is beautifully arranged so that you are happy." Noticing Gu Qingqing’s embarrassment, Shen Shuyi continued.

"Thank you, Auntie, and sorry for the trouble." Gu Qingqing’s face returned to normal, and she spoke with a hint of calmness.

"Mother, you’ve just arrived. It’s better to rest with Father for a while first. Once you’re rested, I’ll bring Geng Geng to see you, and you can have a nice chat," said Jun Wu quickly, noticing his father wasn’t pleased.

"Auntie, Ah Wu is right. Please rest well first. After you’re well-rested, I’ll accompany you for a stroll around Yuqiu Pass," Gu Qingqing added, helping to persuade her.

Although Shen Shuyi was eager, she knew they were right. After properly advising Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu, she left with Jun Yutian to Jun Yutian’s courtyard.

After Shen Shuyi left, Gu Qingqing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"My mother just really likes you. She is exactly this way with those she likes, treating them exceptionally well. You don’t need to feel pressured," Jun Wu explained, knowing that Gu Qingqing was a bit unaccustomed.

"I’m fine," Gu Qingqing shook her head. "Auntie’s personality is actually quite nice."

Seeing that Gu Qingqing wasn’t feeling forced, Jun Wu nodded.

The next day, Gu Qingqing, Jun Wu, Jun Yutian, Shen Shuyi, Wen Guiyun, and Gu Qingqing’s five senior brothers gathered in the flower hall of Wen Guiyun’s courtyard to discuss the matters between Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu.

"Geng Geng, I’ve checked the dates for you. It’s already the second half of the year; there are three excellent dates left this year. One is the eighth of next month, which is quite soon but we haven’t finished dealing with matters here and can’t return. The other is October 16th, a very good date, perhaps the best of the year. There’s also November 26th, which is also quite nice. Which one would you like to choose?" Yue Zhao took out a note he had prepared and handed it to Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing received the note and looked at it together with Jun Wu. The two discussed quietly before looking at the others.

"Then let’s choose October 16th. It’s just right, not too soon or too far off. By then, we should have dealt with things here and can return," Gu Qingqing said to Wen Guiyun and the others.

"I also think that date is good." Yue Zhao’s smile widened when Gu Qingqing chose that date; he had thought it was the best choice.

"Alright, then the date is set for October 16th." Wen Guiyun, who always respected Gu Qingqing’s opinion, decided immediately since she had already chosen.
