Chapter 761: Caught Red-handed

As they walked over, he said, “I can rest assured handing my daughter to you.”

As he spoke, he side-eyed Gu Qingjiu and rolled his eyes.

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

It looked as if some kind of evil deal was struck between Gu Hong and Helian Niancheng.

However, it was evident that she was the one being rejected.

Gu Qingjiu couldn’t wrap her head around this.

Helian Niancheng had a satisfied smile. Even until night, when they were about to sleep, Gu Qingjiu still couldn’t figure out what Helian Niancheng had said.

Her dad agreed to the marriage.

Because she was at home, even if Gu Qingjiu and Helian Niancheng were officially married, they slept in separate rooms to prevent drawing any more ire.

Helian Niancheng slept in Gu Qingmo’s room since he didn’t return to the room was temporarily lent to Helian Niancheng.

In the past, he would stay at the hotel whenever he came over.

Gu Qingjiu couldn’t sleep, so she wanted to sneak over.

Gu Qingjiu opened her door deep into the night, but Gu Hong, who was pouring a cup of water in the living room, caught her.

The room’s soundproofing was done too well. She couldn’t escape even if she wanted to.

Looking at Gu Qingjiu’s suspicious demeanour in her pyjamas, Gu Hong asked with a straight face, already knowing what the answer was. “Why are you up in the middle of the night?”

Gu Qingjiu laughed sheepishly. “Dad, you haven’t slept? I woke up to go to the toilet.”

What a lame excuse.

There was no need to ask if Gu Hong believed her. Even she didn’t believe in her own words.

Her family was all evident that she doesn’t wake up in the middle of the night.

Gu Hong didn’t go back immediately after getting water, instead of shooting two looks at her. “Daughters are not meant to be kept, hmph!”

Gu Qingjiu laughed sheepishly, an answer to Gu Hong’s words.

“I can’t control you, but you are about to wed, can’t you be a little more careful? Furthermore, you’re marrying a royal family. Don’t… disgrace the royal family.”

“Dad, you are still worried about me, so how will I disgrace them! I don’t need to show my face there.”

She only found out afterwards as well. Although Helian Niancheng was a prince and was his consort, his identity was not public. The media didn’t dare release information about him, so Gu Qingjiu didn’t need to worry about her face being plastered over the newspaper to do something disgraceful.

Matters of the Penalan royalty had always been handled together by the Morian family. They were the representatives of Penalan’s royal family.

So what Gu Qingjiu was worried about wouldn’t happen.

No one would comment about her identity as well.

Furthermore, it wasn’t like she had nothing to show?

She was someone who brought honour to her country.

Which added value for her!

“I can’t win you. Just take note.”

Gu Hong probably felt vexed and was about to bring the water back into his room.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Gu Qingjiu quickly asked, “Dad, what did you talk to the chief instructor in the afternoon?”

Gu Hong smiled secretively. “Take a guess.”

As he spoke, he pushed his door open.

But before he entered, as if recalling something, he pointed at Gu Qingjiu. “Go back to your room.”

“….Oh.”

She had no choice but to return to her room.

With Gu Hong catching her red-handed, it wouldn’t do for her to seek Helian Niancheng to still seek Helian Niancheng out. She laid on her bed, filled with muddled thoughts, before falling asleep.

When she woke up, she didn’t get much chance to ask Helian Niancheng about it because he refused to say. Two days later, he left.
