Chapter 80: We're Getting Married

No going back, lying makes you a puppy.

Gu Die said.

Liuli found him increasingly cute; it turned out that the lofty Young Master Gu, usually aloof like an ice block, would also say such things.

Then let me kiss you, you're a puppy, okay?

Liuli said jokingly.

Okay, I'd rather be a puppy.

Gu Die replied.

Liuli suddenly thought, how could he be so smooth with words? Must be because he's dealt with many women before.

Knowing how to win a girl's favor, just thinking about it made her a little unhappy.

She was thinking, before knowing her, when he was with other women, would he also treat them this well?

Thinking of these, she felt her heart ache.

Gu Die.

She called out.

What's wrong?

How many have you dated?

Does how many I've dated matter? Why suddenly want to ask this?

I just wanted to ask; if you don't want to answer, forget it, it's nothing.

There are quite a few women around me. Gu Die said while observing Liuli's expression, wanting to see her reaction to his words.

Sure enough, her face showed she was unhappy.

There are many, but the longest I've spent with any of them is just a day; I only wanted Gu Qing to think I'm a flirt; I never liked any of them.

Really?

Really, the only one I've ever liked is………

Only who?

Besides you, only Si Yun; I don't know if that counts as liking, but after all these years I've let go, and now I just want to stay by your side.

Gu Die thought for a moment and still told Liuli about his feelings for Si Yun, not wanting to hide it from her.

If you say it out loud, aren't you afraid I'll get jealous?

Liuli asked back.

I just want to see you get jealous; being jealous means you have me in your heart.

I don't have you in my heart right now.

Not long after, the dishes were served; Liuli ate rice in big mouthfuls, I don't eat vegetables, looking like I want to eat someone.

How come you don't have me? You're just jealous, my wife is so cute, eat more.

Gu Die said while putting vegetables into her bowl.

I don't like vegetables.

Liuli put them back into his bowl.

Why don't you eat vegetables? You'll become stupid.

Gu Die saw her always eating plain rice and returning the vegetables he gave her, and said worriedly.

I'm so smart, how could I become stupid? Besides, who's your wife?

Liuli's words left Gu Die dazed; she's already married to him, isn't she still his wife?

You are my wife, how come, did you become stupid?

Gu Die teased.

I'm someone you randomly picked to marry, how does that count as being your wife?

Liuli asked back.

You are my wife, I don't care.

Gu Die, are you acting coquettish?

I haven't………

You do, how can you be so cute!

Liuli stopped eating, pinching his face.

I'm so cute, do you want to be my wife?

No.

Liuli teased him.

Then you can be my husband, I don't mind.

You don't mind me minding, I'm female, not male.

Then you're my wife, I don't care, you are.

Okay, okay, I am, why didn't I notice you're so cute before, Gu Die?

Liuli pinched his face, not wanting to let go.

It's just that you haven't really looked at me.

I have, but you never acted coquettish with me before; blame yourself for not doing it earlier, that's why I only noticed your cuteness now.

From now on I'll act coquettish with you every day.

Don't, no need, you're a big man, acting coquettish every day I can't stand it.

Even if I can't stand it, I have to endure it.

Gu Die gave an indulgent smile.

"Eat your meal properly; you can't talk while eating."

Liuli placed some vegetables into Gu Die's bowl.

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."

"Yeah, eat a bit, you're so thin."

"You should also eat more; even if you get fatter, I can still hold you."

"If I get as fat as a pig, you won't want me anymore."

"Getting as fat as a pig would be adorable; how could I not want you? No matter what you become, I'll still want you."

"Do you think I believe you? A man's mouth is a lying ghost."

"I am a man, but I have never lied to you."

"How come you haven't lied to me?"

Liuli asked back.

"What have I lied to you about?"

Liuli thought it over carefully; indeed, he had not lied to her.

"No, no, that's enough, let's eat."

"There wasn't any, right?"

Gu Die said discontentedly.

"Eat."

After Liuli finished speaking, her phone rang.

It was Yu Ke calling.

"Chu Liuli, I'm getting married!"

On the other end of the line was Yu Ke's joyful voice.

Liuli almost spat out her rice, wondering what had gotten into Yu Ke—how could she suddenly want to get married?

"You're getting married? With whom?"

Liuli asked.

"Of course with Bai Xu!"

"Su Yu Ke, have you been drinking? You two aren't even together—how could you get married? Just keep dreaming; why bring it into reality?"

Liuli didn't think it impossible for Yu Ke and Bai Xu to be together, but it was too sudden.

Yu Ke and Bai Xu have only known each other for a short time, and they're already getting married?

"I'm not joking with you, nor daydreaming—I really want to marry Bai Xu; just tell me whether you bless me or not!"

Hearing Yu Ke's tone, Liuli didn't think she was joking.

"Sister-in-law, she had been drinking, but now she's sober; she's telling the truth—we're getting married."

Bai Xu took the phone and said.

"Are you two together?"

Liuli asked; it seemed they really were going to get married.

When Yu Ke comes back, she'll surely give her a good talking-to; it's obvious that Yu Ke's impulsiveness came from drinking too much.

"Yes, sister-in-law, I am together with Yu Ke; also, please tell Gu Die that Yu Ke and I are really getting married."

"Alright."

Liuli couldn't wrap her head around it—how could those two be getting married?

"Thank you, sister-in-law; you must definitely come to our wedding."

"Liuli, you're going to be my bridesmaid!"

Yu Ke snatched the phone and said.

"Fine, we'll talk after you get married!"

Liuli replied; she never imagined they'd be so impulsive—indeed, they're just too young.

"We've already set the date; if nothing unexpected happens, it's next week."

"That fast??"

Liuli felt even more incredulous.

She didn't even know when they got together, and yet they're getting married next week.

"How can it be so fast? Look how long you and Young Master Gu have been married—I'm not trying to keep up with you?"

"Su Yu Ke, I had no choice; can it be the same?"

Gu Die sat close to Liuli, and he could hear Yu Ke and Bai Xu's voices on the other end of the line.

Liuli said that marrying him was beyond her control, which made him somewhat displeased; he just gave her a cold stare.

Liuli realized she had misspoken, and while still on the phone, she gave him an apologetic smile.

"Anyway, I am going to marry Bai Xu; I want to marry him."

Bai Xu, standing nearby, laughed happily like a fool.

"Can't you stop being so impulsive? Have you thought it through?!"

Liuli advised, saying that if Yu Ke hadn't thought it through and was just acting on impulse, there would be no turning back.

Impulsiveness is fleeting; only a calm decision made afterward is truly decisive.

"I've thought it through; trust me."

Yu Ke replied, still not forgetting to glare at Bai Xu, who was laughing beside her for no apparent reason.

Yu Ke still thought he was really stupid.

"Sister-in-law, we've really made up our minds, don't worry, I'll treat Yu Ke well."

"Bai Xu, I'm telling you, if you dare to treat Yu Ke badly, make her sad, make her cry, if I find out even once, I'll immediately bring her back, got it?"

Liuli warned.

"Sister-in-law, I know, don't worry."

Yu Ke, hearing Liuli's words, also laughed like a fool.

Back at school, Liuli was the aloof goddess everyone talked about, besides Cheng Li, she wasn't close with anyone.

She also had no friends other than Cheng Li.

In everyone's eyes, she was unapproachable and lofty.

It's not about her background; everyone knows her family has no money, and her school tuition is all paid by Cheng Li's family.

But her demeanor, including the impression she gives, is that of being aloof.

She doesn't like to talk, doesn't like to laugh, and even enjoys being alone.

Aloof and unapproachable.

Only Yu Ke knows that she is not the cold, heartless person everyone says she is, indifferent to others' affairs.

On the contrary, she cares more about others' affairs than her own; she just doesn't say it.

She thinks speaking up is useless and troublesome, and she also fears being rejected, fears that if she gives her sincerity to others, she'll get hurt.

She doesn't like making friends and has never been in a relationship, simply because she doesn't want to get hurt.

In Yu Ke's eyes, Liuli is different from how others see her.

In Yu Ke's eyes, Liuli is a responsible, kind-hearted person who strives to live well.

Her life is clearly hard, yet she still works so hard.

This makes Yu Ke think she's a very good girl, except that nobody has noticed.

The girls at school refuse to see Liuli's merits, which is just due to jealousy; who let her attract so many boys' affection.

Wherever Liuli goes at school, she's the center of attention, even more than Cheng Li.

Because Cheng Li's family is wealthy and he's handsome, it's normal for other girls to admire and pursue him.

After all, who wouldn't want to marry a wealthy, handsome man?

Those who study at Luo Hai Xue Yuan are all wealthy—either young masters or misses.

So those misses can't understand why Chu Liuli, who has nothing—no family background, no connections—is still liked by so many.

Moreover, she exists like a goddess.

Perhaps her only backing is Cheng Li's family supporting her.

Over these years, she's basically only had the Cheng family, with Cheng Li backing her from behind.
