Chapter 635: Propose

Gu Dai found it impossible to resist Shi Nuan’s gaze; if not for the remnants of her rationality, she would have eagerly agreed to her suggestion. “What about uncle and auntie…” she began hesitantly.

Shi Nuan smiled and assured her, “I’ll talk to my parents later, they’ll definitely agree.”

The trio had by now reached the doorstep of the Gu residence.

Shi Nuan and Meng Zhi exchanged a knowing glance and stepped back, eagerly awaiting Gu Dai to open the door.

Noticing their movements, Gu Dai tilted her head in confusion but thought little of it and pushed the door open.

Instantly, soft lighting illuminated the space.

Before Gu Dai lay a living room adorned with tender pink balloons and cute plush toys in every corner, with a sign saying “Marry Me” hanging on the wall. Su Ting, clad in a suit and holding flowers, stood before the sign, his gaze burning brightly as he looked at her.

Gu Dai’s heart skipped a beat, her mind going blank for a few seconds.

Su Ting stepped forward, smiling as he extended the flowers towards her. “Daidai, these are for you,” he said softly.

Gu Dai, still in a daze, reached out to take the flowers.

The next moment, she saw Su Ting kneeling before her, a ring in his hand. “Daidai, will you marry me?”

Gu Dai nodded fervently, her voice full of emotion, “Yes, I will!”

Fireworks fell from above them as Meng Zhi and Shi Nuan cheered. Gradually, other relatives emerged from within the house, each extending their blessings.

Tears began to form in Gu Dai’s eyes as she looked at the familiar faces of family and friends.

Amid the blessings, Su Ting slid the ring onto Gu Dai’s finger, his gaze earnest as he vowed, “Daidai, I will always treat you well. If I ever fail, I’ll leave everything to you!”

Gu Dai nodded repeatedly, pulling Su Ting up from his knee and placing a ring on his finger as well. Choking up, she affirmed, “I believe you!”

After accepting gifts from relatives and returning to their room, it took a while for Gu Dai and Su Ting to regain their composure.

She lifted her head from Meng Zhi’s embrace and looked at him in bewilderment. “Did you just propose to me?”

Su Ting’s face was resolute, his eyes shimmering as he confirmed, “Of course!”

As his words fell, he suddenly remembered something and urgently grabbed Gu Dai’s hand, which also bore a ring. “Daidai, we’re both wearing matching rings now, you can’t regret and abandon me.”

Facing Su Ting’s pitiful look, Gu Dai couldn’t help but laugh lightly, the tears in her eyes receding as she solemnly promised, “Don’t worry, I won’t back out. It just feels like everything that just happened was a dream.”

Su Ting, relieved by her assurance, held her close and whispered, “Daidai, this is real, not a dream.”

Gu Dai hummed in acknowledgment then questioned, “But didn’t we agree that a proposal wasn’t necessary?”

Su Ting shook his head gently. “Daidai, I never agreed to that.”

Reflecting on the moment, Gu Dai realized Su Ting indeed had not responded to that.

Su Ting continued, “Besides, a proposal is an important milestone. I didn’t want us to have any regrets looking back.”

Gu Dai embraced him in return, “We won’t have regrets!”

The soundproofing of the Gu house was excellent, but Gu Ming’s family, residing in a small house next door, could sense the commotion.

Gu Zhi angrily slammed down her utensils, “Why does Gu Dai have such a good life, not only becoming the miss of the Gu residence but also having Su Ting propose to her, and they’re even married! While I, despite being outstanding, am stuck in this tiny house!”

Liu Min softly consoled her, “Zhizhi, calm down, don’t be angry.”

Gu Zhi scoffed, “How can I stay calm? This is all because you and dad aren’t as capable as little uncle. Otherwise, I should have been the Gu family miss.”

Gu Ming stopped eating and glared coldly at Gu Zhi, grinding his teeth as he asked, “What did you say?”

Gu Zhi met his gaze, her eyes reddening, “Did I say something wrong…”

Sensing the tension, Liu Min hastily interjected, “Gu Zhi, stop talking!”

Gu Zhi snorted dismissively, ignoring Liu Min’s attempt to stop her, “It’s true you’re not as good as uncle. Did I say something wrong?”

Gu Ming’s face darkened as he stood up and approached Gu Zhi. Grabbing her hair with one hand and raising the other, he began slapping her face repeatedly, cursing, “How did I end up with someone like you, daring to insult your own father….”
