Chapter 304 Want to get married
"Master, Li Xiuneng is calling. I'm going to answer the call."
Gu Ranle shook the phone in his hand, then walked into the yard with the phone.
"Baby, are you awake?"
As soon as the call was connected, Li Xiuneng's extremely excited voice came out from the receiver.
Gu Ranle pulled the corner of his lip slightly, and said teasingly with a smile: "Oh, you are so excited? Did you encounter something so happy?"
"Was I that obvious, baby?" Li Xiuneng asked back on the other end of the phone.
"It's not obvious, it's not obvious. I calculated it by counting on my fingers." Gu Ranle teased him deliberately.
"My baby is amazing. He can figure out anything!"
At this moment, Li Xiuneng seemed to have turned on the praise mode, pouring out all the words he had learned in his life to praise people, such as "smart and clever", "beautiful", "understanding", and he used every word he could think of.
During this time, Gu Ranle did not interrupt him, but let him talk like a machine gun, while he listened quietly and laughed from time to time.
When Li Xiu Neng was exhausted from praising himself, and had no more words to say, Gu Ranle spoke slowly, with a hint of ridicule: "Tell me, what are you up to now? What kind of trick are you trying to pull?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Xiuneng was silent for a while before he said, "Bao, I want to get married."
Gu Ranle couldn't help laughing when she heard it: "Don't think too much at night, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Bao, I'm serious. I'm not kidding you." Li Xiuneng quickly emphasized.
"I know, but getting married is not a trivial matter." Gu Ranle didn't dwell on this topic with him and changed the subject directly: "My grandfather said that your family took you away and said that there was something going on at home. What is it?"
"The eldest brother suddenly had a daughter in her twenties. She went for a paternity test and confirmed that she was his biological child. What's even more outrageous is that the daughter's biological mother turned out to be his good brother's sister. The eldest brother originally planned to find the daughter's biological mother to ask why she had kept it a secret from him for so many years, and by the way, bring the girl home to get married. As a result, the daughter's biological mother got the news and ran away in advance. Now no one knows where she is hiding. The old man called me back to hold a family meeting, and we sat together to discuss how to solve this matter."
Li Xiuneng dumped out the whole story in one go.
Gu Ranle raised her eyebrows and said in surprise, "Did you only know until now that Li Huaijin has an older daughter?"
"Bao, what do you mean? From what you said, it seems like you knew about this a long time ago?" Li Xiuneng asked anxiously on the other end of the phone.
"It's not that early, just a few days earlier than you." Gu Ranle said lightly.
"Then why haven't I ever heard you mention it?" Li Xiuneng asked with a somewhat complaining tone.
"You didn't ask me, so how could I have the nerve to say it on my own initiative?" Gu Ranle replied with a smile.
"..."
Li Xiuneng on the other end of the phone was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
After a while, Li Xiuneng spoke again, his tone full of seriousness: "Baby, I know that getting married is not a trivial matter. I said this to you after careful consideration."
Gu Ranle sighed softly and said, "I know you're not the kind of person who gets married impulsively. That's why I've repeatedly emphasized that marriage is not a trivial matter. Marriage is a matter between the two of us, but right now I have a lot of things to do, and you're not fully recovered yet. Even if we leave the wedding to someone else, we can't just leave it alone. So, let's wait until you're fully recovered before we get married in style."
"But I can't wait that long." Li Xiuneng said anxiously on the other end of the phone.
Gu Ranle couldn't help but tease him: "Why? Are you afraid that I'll be seduced by another man?"
"As long as we don't get married, I'll feel like there's a little rabbit in my heart and I won't feel at ease all day." Li Xiuneng said aggrievedly.
"Do you have to get married to feel safe?" Gu Ranle asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Li Xiuneng responded heavily.
Gu Ranle raised her head and looked at the gradually darkening sky. The night was like a huge curtain, slowly covering her.
She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind: "I'll discuss it with my grandfather later. How about we get the marriage certificate first and find a chance to hold the wedding later."
After hearing what she said, Li Xiuneng hesitated, with a hint of uncertainty in his voice: "Will Master agree?"
"I don't know either, I'll give it a try. Don't hold out too much hope. From what I know about him, the possibility that he will agree is very small, but it's not impossible. Just wait for my news." Gu Ranle comforted him.
After chatting with Li Xiuneng for a long time, Gu Ranle hung up the phone and slowly returned to the house.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw that Gu Jiu had already prepared the steaming noodles and was placing them on the dining table.
She hurriedly sat down at the table, picked up her chopsticks and took two bites, then she spoke carefully, "Master, I want to get the marriage certificate with Li Xiuneng first, and we can find a chance to hold the wedding later, is that okay with you?"
Gu Jiu was eating noodles with his head down. When he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at her, but said nothing.
"Master, why don't you say anything? Whether it's okay or not, I'll listen to you." Gu Ranle looked at Gu Jiu eagerly.
"Will you all listen to me?" Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows.
"Of course, you are my grandfather!" Gu Ranle nodded quickly.
"Then you two should just break up!" Gu Jiu said unhappily.
"No!" Gu Ranle said firmly, "I will not marry anyone but him. I have decided to be with him for the rest of my life!"
Gu Jiu looked puzzled and frowned as he asked, "What on earth do you like about him? Why are you so devoted to him?"
Gu Ranle's eyes sparkled, and she blurted out, "Because she looks good."
"..."
Gu Jiu was choked by her words and was speechless for a moment.
After a long while, Gu Jiu took a deep breath and said unhappily, "There are so many good-looking men in the world, why did you choose him?"
Gu Ranle tilted her head, tapped her chin with her fingers, thought seriously, and said, "Maybe I owed him in my previous life. Anyway, I just like him. No matter how handsome other men are, they are nothing in my eyes. Grandpa, just agree that we can get the marriage certificate first. You arrange the time for the wedding, and I will cooperate with you throughout the whole process. I will never go west if you say east."
Gu Jiu was so angry at her words that he laughed. He slammed his chopsticks on the table and raised his voice: "I arranged for you to cooperate? Is it you who is getting married or me? Can you pay more attention to your own life event?"
Seeing that Gu Jiu was a little angry, Gu Ranle hurried over and pulled his arm and acted like a spoiled child: "Then what do you say? I will listen to you, isn't that enough?"
Gu Jiu snorted and said, "Just follow the normal process. Get engaged first, then get married. Don't miss a step."
Gu Ranle was worried that if she said too much, Gu Jiu would be unhappy again, so she nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll listen to your arrangements. Whatever you say, I will obey you absolutely."
Gu Jiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "I will call Li Minghui in a minute and ask him to come over tomorrow to discuss the engagement. We also need to discuss the matter of Li Xiu marrying into our family."
Gu Ranle heard this and said worriedly, "Okay. But old man, what if the other party doesn't agree to his son marrying into the family? This is not easy to handle."
Gu Jiu glared and said, "It's good that you don't agree. You two should break up. I've disliked that guy for a long time. If you didn't insist on being with him, I wouldn't bother with these trivial matters."
"..."
Gu Ranle rolled her eyes and couldn't help complaining, "You keep talking about breaking up. Would you be happy if I broke up? How can you be so bossy? Can't you expect something good from me?"
