472 Future Grandson-In-Law
“I’ve already told Fu Ying not to disturb Rao Rao anymore. I think Rao Rao and Gu Ci are doing well now. If they get together, I’ll give my blessings too,” Old Madam Fu said as she looked at Mo Rao, who was playing with Gu Ci.
“Yes, that’s good. It’s just that I’m still worried about Little You. Little You isn’t young anymore, but I haven’t seen her with a boyfriend.” Old Madam Qu was slightly worried. “She goes out to play often, so why didn’t she find a suitable boyfriend?”
Old Madam Fu glanced at Qu You, who was beside Mo Rao, and said, “My cousin has a grandson who’s quite outstanding. He’s still overseas now. He’ll probably come back after the new year. Shall I let Little You meet him?”
“Your cousin? The one from Fu Ling’s family?” Old Madam Qu had heard of Old Madam Fu’s cousin’s family. Their family was in politics and was very prominent.
Old Madam Fu nodded. “Her grandson’s name is Yang Shu. He’s a university professor and has gone to take an examination recently. I think he’s quite a good match with Little You.”
Old Madam Qu nodded in satisfaction. A scholarly family could help tame Qu You.
At night, Old Madam Qu, Old Madam Fu, and a few juniors ate New Year’s Eve dinner together. Of course, Gu Ci was also brought along.
The more Old Madam Qu looked at Gu Ci, the more she liked him. She kept picking up food for Gu Ci at the dining table and even asked Gu Ci many questions about his family, as if she treated Gu Ci as her future grandson-in-law.
Seeing Old Madam Qu’s enthusiastic expression, Mo Rao was worried that she would misunderstand. She leaned towards Old Madam Qu and whispered, “Grandma, don’t put too much pressure on Gu Ci. We’re just friends.”
“I heard from Madam Fu that Gu Ci is wooing you.” Old Madam Qu snickered. “He’s not bad. Rao Rao, you should consider him.”
Mo Rao immediately felt frustrated. If she really liked Gu Ci, she would have been with him long ago, but she wasn’t in love with him.
“Think about it. If you’re with him, Fu Ying definitely won’t pester you anymore. If the two of you really don’t have a future, it’s time to end it and let things go.” Old Madam Qu covered Mo Rao’s hand and glanced at Gu Ci, who was drinking with Mo Yuan.
Mo Rao pondered for a moment and said, “I understand.”
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Old Madam Fu and Old Madam Qu returned to their rooms to watch television. Mo Yuan and Qu You went to a bar not far away. Mo Rao didn’t want to go to a noisy bar, so she called Gu Ci and walked with her near the beach outside the hotel.
“You’re not drunk, are you?” Mo Rao sized up Gu Ci, whose face was red. She was worried that Mo Yuan got him drunk.
“I can hold my liquor very well.” Gu Ci smiled. “Don’t worry.”
Waves of sea breeze blew past, but it was still a little cold.
“Are you cold?” Gu Ci asked. “Put on my coat first. Don’t get sick.”
Before Mo Rao could refuse, Gu Ci had already taken off his coat and gently draped it over her.
Warmth covered every inch of Mo Rao’s skin and reached her heart.
After thinking about it carefully, Gu Ci was indeed a considerate gentleman. Although he was usually aloof, like Fu Ying, in front of her, Gu Ci was still much better than Fu Ying.
Moreover, Gu Ci stayed in the country for her. His sacrifice allowed Mo Rao to see his sincerity.
“Gu Ci, did my grandmother’s words make things difficult for you?” Mo Rao thought of Old Madam Qu’s attitude at the dining table and probed.
Gu Ci shook his head. “Of course not. I’m very happy that Grandma likes me. Rao Rao, what I said before still stands. I want to woo you. Are you willing to give me a chance?”
Mo Rao fell silent.
She walked forward slowly. The sea breeze blew her long hair, allowing Gu Ci to see her side profile.
“Perhaps… I can,” Mo Rao replied softly after a while. “I’m not sure if I can fall in love with you, but I’m willing to give you a chance.”
Gu Ci’s eyes flashed with surprise. “Really?!”
“Yes.” Mo Rao smiled and nodded.
At this moment, fireworks suddenly exploded behind Mo Rao.
