Tuesday, ten in the morning. At the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau…

The agreed-upon time arrived, but Gu Yu was still nowhere to be seen. Mr. Gu Sr. pulled a long face in displeasure.

Xu Weilai stood obediently to the side. She couldn’t identify how exactly she was feeling and had no idea if she was hoping for him to turn up or not.

The other day, he had almost strangled her to death. It was obvious how much he hated her and was against this marriage.

If it had been up to her, she’d keep her distance far, far away from him. But alas, the choice wasn’t hers.

Without realizing it, half an hour pa.s.sed, and Mr. Gu Sr.’s face had darkened considerably. He thumped his walking stick on the floor forcefully and was about to have Lin give Gu Yu a call when a black sedan suddenly appeared in front of them.

The car came to a halt, and the door opened. The man alighted from the vehicle. His posture was straight, and he was incomparably good-looking. However, he exuded coldness, and his eyes were without warmth.

He looked up, and his gaze swept past them. It lingered on Xu Weilai for a moment longer, and Xu Weilai felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand in response.

He was here…

Xu Weilai looked down and subconsciously wrung her hands together. She could feel her heart skip a beat.

Now that Gu Yu was here, Mr. Gu Sr. released a huge sigh of relief, but his pride made him stubborn. He remarked, “Had you come a second later, you would have ended up with a new grandmother!”

Gu Yu pretended not to hear him. He acknowledged his grandfather with a nod of his head and called out, “Grandpa.”

As usual, he treated Xu Weilai as if she were invisible. He didn’t even so much as look at her out the corner of his eye.

Grandpa Gu sighed inwardly when he witnessed that. There was a minute moment when he had doubted himself and questioned if his insistence on their marriage was wrong.
