Qiao Qiao always felt that she had the potential to be a good wife and mother, so she learned how to cook from Aunt Lan, and she actually did it well.
After working for most of the afternoon and preparing a table full of dishes, the doorbell rang.
Thinking that Gu Nianchen had gotten off work, Cen Zhiqiao hurriedly wiped his hands and opened the door. He was in a good mood, just like a wife waiting for her husband to return. That kind of happiness radiated from the bottom of her heart.
The moment he opened the door, his smile froze.
Outside the door, Mr. and Mrs. Gu were seen standing, looking at Cen Zhiqiao with smiles.
Cen Zhiqiao was stunned for a moment: "Uncle, uncle? Why are you here?"
Seeing her surprised look, the Gu couple smiled and said, "What's wrong? You're not welcome?"
Cen Zhiqiao hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, how could you not welcome me?" While making way, he said politely: "Uncle and aunt, please come in."
After entering the living room, the two of them sat on the sofa. Cen Zhiqiao went over and sent a message to Gu Nianchen while pouring water.
When they came out, Aunt Lan also came from the kitchen and was talking to Mr. and Mrs. Gu.
"Master and Madam, why are you here? Is there something going on at home?"
"No, I came here just to have a look." Mother Gu shook her head, looked up and saw Cen Zhiqiao coming out of the dining room, and waved to her: "Qiao Qiao, come sit here."
Cen Zhiqiao did as he was told, but was a little reserved. He just sat far away in a corner of the sofa, smiling slightly.
Mother Gu looked at Cen Zhiqiao's apron and couldn't help but smile: "Can you cook?"
Cen Zhiqiao shook his head: "No, Aunt Lan is cooking, I'm helping you!"
They were going back and forth, but they didn't know what they were doing when they suddenly appeared. Cen Zhiqiao didn't dare to ask, so he could only smile apologetically, but kept twisting the apron on his body.
As he was talking, the doorbell rang again, and Cen Zhiqiao immediately stood up: "Gu Nianchen must be back. I'll open the door."
Sure enough, he was right. He probably rushed back after receiving the news from Cen Zhiqiao. There were beads of sweat on his head and his breath was uncertain.
Cen Zhiqiao hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe his sweat, while winking at him: "Your parents are here, they scared me to death."
Gu Nianchen gave her a reassuring smile, changed his shoes, and after his breathing stabilized, he took Cen Zhiqiao's hand and walked in: "Mom and Dad, why didn't you tell us before you came, why did you come here all of a sudden?"
Gu's mother frowned and glared at her son: "Why can't we come over? Is it illegal to come to see our son?"
Gu Nianchen raised his eyebrows: "That's not what I meant. It's just that you and dad come to my place and leave grandpa alone at home. Is this appropriate?"
Father Gu then spoke: "You still dare to say that, as long as you are not angry with your grandpa, there is nothing wrong with you."
"Dad, I already called grandpa to apologize for what happened last time. I shouldn't have done anything to make him angry again, right?"
"No?" Father Gu glared at him: "You didn't tell your family about such a big thing as a proposal. Are you planning to get married and didn't discuss it with us?"
Father Gu was engaged in literature and had a scholarly spirit, so even though he seemed to be losing his temper, he was actually still gentle and not harsh.
Gu Nianchen and Cen Zhiqiao looked at each other: "Dad, who did you listen to?"
"Of course it's your sister. She called and said that you asked her for Qiaoqiao's design and wanted to use it for a proposal. Your dad and grandpa, I, have been waiting at home waiting for you to call us over.
Who knows, there is no news at all."
Mother Gu said softly.
Gu Zuowei’s big mouth!
Gu Nianchen cursed secretly, "I originally wanted to wait until I was less busy for a while before taking Qiao Qiao home for a formal visit, and I didn't mean not to tell you."
He turned to look at Cen Zhiqiao and said, "Besides, I didn't know if she would agree at the time."
Cen Zhiqiao's face immediately turned red. He didn't want everyone to focus on him, so he hurriedly followed Aunt Lan into the kitchen.
Gu's mother then said: "So what are your plans now? When are you going to get married?"
Father Gu also cast his gaze over, and Gu Nianchen pondered for a moment, and then said: "There have been a lot of things lately, and I really don't have time to prepare for the wedding, so I want to discuss it when we are not busy."
"What are you waiting for? After you have been busy for a while, you will have to work for a while. Where is the end?" Gu's father said.
Gu's mother also said: "Otherwise, you can leave the wedding to me and your father. We will discuss it with Qiao Qiao's family and set the date early."
Gu Nianchen raised his eyebrows: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
The Gu couple looked at each other: "It's not that you are anxious, I just want you to start a family as soon as possible so that you can provide a child for the Gu family. The only son of three generations of the Gu family, your grandfather and father both got married and had children at an early age, but you are over thirty.
He's 10 years old and he doesn't even have a child."
What kind of thinking is this?
Gu Nianchen couldn't laugh or cry: "What era were my grandfather and father in? How can they be compared with now?"
"It's the same in all ages. Now that you've decided, don't delay it. Everyone will feel at ease if it's settled early." Gu's mother persuaded her son earnestly. Seeing Cen Zhiqiao bringing out the dishes, she raised her head: "Qiao Qiao is the same way.
Do you think so?"
"Ah? What?" Cen Zhiqiao was obviously stunned for a moment.
"We are talking about getting married. Get married early and have children early." Seeing Cen Zhiqiao's dazed expression, Gu's mother couldn't help but laugh.
Cen Zhiqiao's expression became even stiffer. He glanced at Gu Nianchen for help, and finally understood the reason why these two people were here.
But why are you in such a hurry? She is not ready yet!
"Gu Nianchen, let me make it clear first that marriage is okay, but having children requires planning." Once they went upstairs and there were only two people left, Cen Zhiqiao hurriedly stated his position.
She hasn't finished reading yet, and has a lot of things she wants to do that she hasn't done yet. She doesn't want children.
