Chapter 454: Nine Gates Commander: Xiao Guan, your marriage is your own call

Xiaozao was singing Peking opera for the Nine Gates Commander when Guan Xiaoguan walked in.

As soon as the song ended, Guan Xiaoguan burst into applause.

Xiaozao hastily turned their head and said to Guan Xiaoguan:

You're back.

Guan Xiaoguan nodded, saying, "Thank you, Xiaozao."

Xiaozao: "Don't mention it. Go talk to your grandfather; I'll head down first."

Guan Xiaoguan nodded again.

Upon hearing Guan Xiaoguan's voice, the Nine Gates Commander, who had kept their eyes closed, slowly opened them.

When the Nine Gates Commander saw only Xiaozao present, they couldn't help but frown slightly.

Guan Xiaoguan asked, "Grandfather, why are you frowning?"

Nine Gates Commander: "That guy, where's Taozi?"

Guan Xiaoguan: "Why are you asking about him?"

Nine Gates Commander: "Nothing, I just see you two getting along quite closely."

Guan Xiaoguan: "Nonsense."

Nine Gates Commander: "I can tell, this kid is not bad; he also likes you."

Guan Xiaoguan: "But I don't like him."

In the original work, Guan Xiaoguan married Taozi.

However, in this world, Lin Shengli has appeared.

That's right.

Guan Xiaoguan also fell for Lin Shengli.

There's nothing to be done.

A man like Lin Shengli, talented and extremely handsome, is the kind any woman would like.

However, Guan Xiaoguan knows Lin Shengli is much older than they are.

Of course, age isn't the problem.

The main issue is that Lin Shengli is already married.

Moreover, his marital relationship is very good.

Asking Lin Shengli to divorce is utterly impossible.

Actually, the Nine Gates Commander is well aware of this.

They also like Lin Shengli and wish Lin Shengli could become their grandson-in-law.

But.

They have only this precious granddaughter; how could they bear to let Guan Xiaoguan become a concubine?

This isn't the old society where a man could take several wives.

If Guan Xiaoguan were with Lin Shengli, they would never be able to hold their head up in public for the rest of their life.

Of course.

They also don't want to force Guan Xiaoguan.

Regarding Guan Xiaoguan's marriage, they do not intend to interfere.

They will support any decision Guan Xiaoguan makes.

Furthermore.

Lin Shengli is a once-in-a-century outstanding talent; even if Guan Xiaoguan had to take a secondary position, they think that would still be fine.

Guan Xiaoguan: "Grandfather, I don't want to get married yet; please stop pressuring me, okay?"

Nine Gates Commander: "Alright, I won't press you; this major life decision of yours is yours to make."

"If you think you'd be happy with someone, go with them; Grandfather won't stand in your way."

Guan Xiaoguan laughed, "Thank you, Grandfather."

Meanwhile.

Han Chunming returned home.

"Mom, I'm back."

Han's mother was washing clothes in the courtyard when she saw him, and her anger flared up instantly.

"You little spendthrift..."

Han's mother rose, ran to the door, and fetched a broom.

Han Chunming hastily stepped back, "Mom, what are you doing?"

Han's mother shouted, "Where the hell have you been? Huh? Where have you been?"

While scolding, she raised the broom at Han Chunming.

Seeing the situation turn bad, Han Chunming hurried to the side and said:

"I went on a business trip, on a business trip..."

Han's mother paused, "If you were on a business trip, then why didn't you say something?"

Han Chunming gave an apologetic smile and said:

"I've just been too busy."

Han's mother: "Busy with what..."

Han Chunming pointed at the broom in her hand, "Please, put it down first; holding it looks scary."

Han's mother let out a long sigh and said:

You hurry and go find Su Meng.

That child is already dying of anxiety.

Sigh, in the past two days when you've seen me, I haven't even mentioned you.
