Although Su Mingyu knew that marrying him was just a matter of time, when she heard Gu Ruobai say such words again in person, her heart skipped a beat for no reason.
She stared blankly at the man in front of her, as if trying to engrave him in her eyes.
After a long while, Su Mingyu's nose tingled slightly, and then she nodded vigorously: "Didn't you already do it first and report later?"
A smile spread from the corners of Gu Ruobai's eyes. Even his face, which usually only wore fake smiles, now beamed brightly: "I just have to know your feelings to be at ease."
Even if Su Mingyu rejected him, he wouldn't let go. But hearing that this person also liked him, Gu Ruobai could finally feel relieved.
"Then... I'll make the preparations for this."
Gu Ruobai reached out and tucked a strand of loose hair behind Su Mingyu's ear. His dark eyes were brimming with joy.
"By the way." Su Mingyu suddenly remembered something, "Elder Ye once said that I should take you to visit the Ye Mansion. Should we go?"
Su Mingyu originally planned to bring down Su Zhengyi first and then go. But now with her relationship with Gu Ruobai, if she didn't take Gu Ruobai, the future grandson - in - law, to visit the Ye Mansion, it might seem inappropriate.
Gu Ruobai obviously also thought of this. He nodded slightly: "We should go. But we can't go empty - handed. Let's go tomorrow. I need to prepare some things first."
The last time he met Ye Weiguang was just in a restaurant. This time, it was a formal visit to propose marriage, so it was naturally different.
Su Mingyu also thought of this, so she nodded: "Okay."
Seeing Su Mingyu being so obedient, Gu Ruobai's heart softened. He reached out and pressed the back of Su Mingyu's head, then kissed her thin lips.
The kiss was brief but extremely charming, making Su Mingyu's ears turn red.
"I... I'll go back first. I've been out for quite a while."
Watching her scurry away, Gu Ruobai's eyes were filled with smiles, and the curve of his lips deepened.
Hurrying all the way back to the Su Mansion from Gu Ruobai's place, Su Mingyu found that the Su Mansion was almost in an uproar.
She asked someone and learned that the King of Yu had come to propose marriage.
He was currently in the main hall talking to Su Zhengyi.
Su Mingyu raised her eyebrows. What a coincidence.
So she simply turned around and went to the main hall. Sure enough, she saw the King of Yu and a room full of betrothal gifts.
They looked extremely valuable.
The King of Yu stood with his hands behind his back: "Minister Su, I'm here today to propose marriage. The Princess Yue'er and I are in love, and I believe you, Minister Su, are well aware of this."
Su Zhengyi beamed from ear to ear: "It's a blessing for my daughter to be favored by the King of Yu. Your Highness only needed to send a matchmaker to tell us. Why did you come in person?"
Although Su Zhengyi's words seemed like politeness, in fact, he was showing off. The high - and - mighty King of Yu actually came to propose marriage in person.
It showed how much the King of Yu liked their Su Yueyue and how much face he gave to him, the future father - in - law.
Wang Manwen, on one side, also had a beaming face.
She looked so happy that there was no trace of her previous strong opposition. It seemed as if the one who strongly opposed before wasn't her.
Su Yueyue was sitting on one side, blushing. Her eyes stole glances at the King of Yu from time to time, looking like a lovesick girl.
"The King of Yu really seems to like the Second Miss. Although he didn't make the Second Miss his princess, he still gives so much face to the Su Mansion and even comes in person."
A maid whispered, and Su Mingyu heard it clearly.
She curled her lips. This King of Yu really knew how to give a sweet after a slap.
Now, she was sure that neither Su Zhengyi nor Wang Manwen would mind why the King of Yu didn't make Su Yueyue his princess.
Even the rumors outside would probably change.
Before, everyone was mocking Su Yueyue, but now they would probably be extremely envious.
Seeing the hypocritical family inside enjoying themselves, Su Mingyu also curled her lips and clapped her hands as she walked in: "Congratulations, younger sister. Truly a happy occasion."
The moment Su Yueyue saw Su Mingyu, a flash of darkness passed through her eyes, but it quickly turned into a smile: "Sister, you came back just in time."
Su Mingyu curtsied to the King of Yu: "Mingyu pays respects to the King of Yu."
The King of Yu nodded at her: "You came back just in time. You must come to our wedding banquet when I marry Yue'er."
Su Mingyu nodded understandingly: "Of course."
"Since the good deed is done." Seeing the indescribable atmosphere between the two, Wang Manwen frowned and interrupted them, "Why don't you have dinner at the Su Mansion tonight, Your Highness?"
The King of Yu didn't refuse: "Then I'll trouble you."
Su Yueyue quickly stepped forward and took the King of Yu's arm: "Although Your Highness has come to the Su Mansion several times, you probably haven't had a good stroll. Yue'er will show you around?"
While asking, Su Yueyue had already pulled the King of Yu far away.
The King of Yu nodded: "Okay."
The doting look made all the maids envious to the point of having red eyes. Only Su Mingyu watched everything with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
The happier Su Yueyue was now, the more painful she would be in the future.
"Mingyu." Just as Su Mingyu was about to leave, Su Zhengyi called her.
Su Mingyu turned around and looked at Su Zhengyi: "Father."
"I heard you went to see the King of Ruixian again?" Su Zhengyi's words were full of implications.
Su Mingyu understood. It was nothing more than that now that Su Yueyue's matter with the King of Yu was settled, Su Zhengyi was starting to urge her.
Su Mingyu nodded understandingly: "Don't worry, Mingyu knows what to do."
"Good." Su Zhengyi smiled contentedly, "I trust you."
Wang Manwen watched from afar, clenching her fists tightly.
When did this Su Mingyu start to be so trusted by Su Zhengyi?
When she came back from the main hall, Zhizhu threw herself into her arms.
Su Mingyu helplessly pulled Zhizhu up and made her stand properly: "What are you doing?"
Zhizhu looked worried: "Second Miss, Second Miss..."
"I know." Su Mingyu said with a mix of laughter and tears, "Let her marry. Why are you so nervous?"
"But you haven't married yet, Miss." Zhizhu pouted, "Miss, people will look down on you like this."
Su Mingyu rolled her eyes: "Do I care about what others think?"
As a 21st - century agent, she didn't care about others' opinions at all: "Alright, this isn't something you should worry about. Take good care of your injuries. Do you hear me? I'm going to take a bath and change clothes."
"Huh?" Zhizhu thought she had misheard.
This wasn't the time for Miss to take a bath and change clothes.
Seeing the little girl so surprised, Su Mingyu was a bit helpless. She had just walked too fast on the way back from Gu Ruobai's and had sweated a lot.
